A comprehensive list of every boss in Dark Souls 3, along with tips to survive its grueling enemies, frustrating traps, and relentless boss fights.
Want to know all the Dark Souls 3 bosses? Fighting through a hellish nightmare known as Lothric, you’ll face off against a horde of challenging bosses. These are some of the most difficult encounters in the game, and some of the most rewarding too.
The Dark Souls series is known for its relentless difficulty in open-world RPG games. The game’s world is a perilous one to explore, and an even more dangerous one to traverse while fighting a formidable foe. The game’s bosses are some of the most famous in gaming history, and Dark Souls 3 is no exception. We present to you a comprehensive list of every boss in Dark Souls 3, and tips on how to beat them.
Here are all the Dark Souls 3 bosses:
Iudex Gundyr is the first boss of Dark Souls 3, and guards the entrance to Firelink Shrine. He’s a fairly straightforward opponent, but his greataxe has a surprising amount of range and power.
Vordt of the Boreal Valley is a hulking beast that wields a giant greataxe and has a deadly charge attack as well as an ice breath attack. He’s not too difficult to beat, but his mobility and offense can prove problematic.
The Curse-Rotted Greatwood is a giant tree that attacks with branches, as well as releasing corrosive liquid during the fight. The tree can be staggered to make the liquid attack less of a threat.
This boss is a mage type that attacks with powerful spells – fireballs, lightning, and ice. To defeat the Crystal Sage, you need to stagger him by using heavy weapons to break his defenses.
The Deacons of the Deep are a group of clerics defending a wandering soul. Your goal is to kill the clerics, with the wandering soul only being their weakness when they’re alone. The best strategy for this boss fight is to stay close to the clerics, attacking the wandering soul when it’s alone.
The Abyss Watchers are a trio of sword-wielding bosses, with one of them resurrecting after you defeat them. The best strategy for this fight is to focus your attacks on the Sword Master – he’s the most aggressive of the three, and also the one with the least amount of health.
High Lord Wolnir is a giant skeleton that wields a giant mace and a giant hammer. Your goal is to break his shackles, which will leave him open to melee attacks.
The Old Demon King is a fiery enemy that attacks by summoning fire rings and showering fireballs. His weak point is his tail, which you can attack when the fire ring is between you and him.
Pontiff Sulyvahn dual-wields a Fire Sword and a Magic Sword, giving him an advantage in close-quarters combat. He also has ranged attacks that you need to watch out for – fireballs and a lightning spell.
Yhorm the Giant is a massive boss that wields a giant, two-handed greataxe. You’ll know Yhorm is vulnerable when he’s standing on his throne, so make sure you explore his room to find the Storm Ruler weapon, which will make short work of him.
Aldritch, Devourer of Gods is a powerful foe that attacks with long-range attacks. You’ll need to dodge a lot with this boss, but Aldritch also leaves himself open for attack when he casts spells.
The Dancer of the Boreal Valley is a graceful and elegant boss that wields a flame sword and dance-like moves. She’s another straightforward, but difficult boss fight, but if you can interrupt her moves, you’ll have a better chance of landing a blow.
Dragonslayer Armour is an intimidating enemy that wields a powerful greataxe and greatshield. His attacks are slow, but deal a lot of damage – avoid his swings where possible.
Oceiros, the Consumed King is a tricky boss that attacks with his staff, tail, and crystal breath in two stages. In the first stage, Oceiros has limited mobility, so you can get in some good hits. In the second stage, he’s a lot faster, so you need to dodge his attacks and get in as many blows as you can.
Champion Gundyr is a more aggressive version of the first boss, and you’ll find him in Untended Graves. He’s still not too difficult, but beware of his overhead attacks and his ability to parry your own blows.
Dark Souls 3 bosses are some of the most challenging encounters in the game, but with perseverance and the right strategy, you can overcome their relentless difficulty and emerge victorious.
