The bosses in any Soulslike title are often the main event for longtime fans of the genre, with the encounters inDark Soulsbeing the benchmark that many developers base their own designs on. However, regardless of how successfulDark Soulsbosses like Artoriasor Ornstein and Smough might be, one fight still stands as the worst design FromSoftware has managed to produce.
