There have been some rough boss fights in recent memory, whether it’s story bosses requiring a tacit understanding of mechanics or optional bosses that feel straight-up unfair. While there’s fun in the challenge itself, these bosses were simply overwhelming, even if they eventually fell. Let’s look at ten recent bosses that were memorable.
Crucible Knight Ordovis – Elden Ring
The Crucible Knights are some of the most deceptively tough bosses in Elden Ring. They seem like your usual armored enemies and suddenly unleash ground stomps, sprout wings to rush you, and even attack with tails. So how annoying would it be to fight two at the same time? As it turns, very.
Crucible Knight Ordovis is tough enough on his own, and it doesn’t help that there’s a regular Crucible Knight with a spear that can deal immense damage even with basic attacks. It even has a grab that can chunk half your health. It’s hard to find an opening, and even when you defeat the regular Crucible Knight, Ordovis still deals tons of damage and will relentlessly unleash skills as his health dwindles.
