15 Most Toughest Bosses In The Dark Souls Series

13. Gwyn, Lord of Cinder – Dark Souls

Gwyn, Lord of Cinder, is tricky if you’re not good at parrying. His constant chasing of the player provides little opportunity to heal. Combined with his damaging attacks and flame damage, Gwyn can take you down quick if you’re not careful. However, if you excel at parrying, then almost all of Gwyn’s attacks can be parried. Combined with the Hornet Ring, one riposte can do a large amount of damage. Stamina management, using the pillars for cover, equipment with flame defense and even a strong shield with fire resistance for a circle strafing strategy will otherwise be enough to down Gwyn.
