insightful commentary mojo plays games
smarter for this list we’re taking a
look at the areas in the Dark Souls
series that gave us the most grueling
controller breaking scream into the
heavens levels of difficulty from
hazards to enemies and even the bosses
themselves these are the areas that kept
us seeing this message please keep in
mind as the series allows for so many
different play styles some of these
areas may not have been so hard for you
also we’ll be excluding Demon’s Souls
hidden mountain looms off in the
distance from earth hill and once you
reach it though you’re gonna wish you
hadn’t it’s filled with serpent men
similar to those of a certain fortress
that strike using fast successive
attacks it’s done locking you and
dealing huge damage if that wasn’t bad
enough
summoners will continue to manifest
strong warriors until defeated while
there are only two bosses in this area
the nameless King is arguably the
hardest boss in Dark Souls 3s base game
easily putting all the others to shame
the journey to face him is long and
arduous and actually defeating him is
number nine shrine of Amana dark souls2
located deep underground a giant
sprawling lake sits with siren songs
echoing across the rocky walls you’ll
soon see that this area isn’t just for
show
as once the song ends creatures rise out
of the lake an attack you deep in you’ll
face casters with a far enough range and
plenty of guards to put even the best
archers to shame Wow from software did
kind of fix this area slightly it didn’t
really help of course while dodging
magic attacks and light creatures you’ll
need to be careful where you tread as
the poorly lit lake has some fairly easy
to miss drums it’s amazing how you can
kill giant demons but still can’t swim
really number eight new londo ruins Dark
be quiet dark said a Bruins lurks below
the Firelink shrine filled with cursed
Souls and Damned warriors the curstyn
ghosts are pretty tricky actually as
you’ll only be able to fight back using
a certain item or by becoming cursed
yourself making fighting these
apparitions a heavy hindrance
you must also do this while watching out
for the narrow paths that’ll drop you
into the watery abyss should you manage
to drain the water though new tears will
begin to awaken giving you a run for
those souls just remember if you venture
too deep into the dark you might lose
yourself in the abyss number 7 the
seriously what is it with dark souls and
their love for making Lakes difficult
after going through poisonous Lakes
frozen lakes and lakes deep in the dark
where could you go next how about one
that’s technically on fire complete with
monstrous crabs a giant ballista and a
massive worm that shoots lasers a little
over the top even by soul standards it’s
not just lake that you have to worry
about but the tombs filled with poison
and fire based enemies that lurk beneath
the hallways therein are claustrophobic
enough to leave large weapon users
crying out in fear number 6 an Orlando
Dark Souls a gorgeous city this area
marks the halfway point in the game and
is one long threshold to cross several
narrow paths line the city that you
gotta cross with one false step spelling
instant death you won’t get much time to
map out the route either as enemies will
still attack as you tightrope walk from
one end to the other if you manage to
make it inside the cathedral a plethora
of silver knights await you in nearly
every freaking room and just when you
think it’s all over you have to face the
infamous dynamic duo ornstein and smough
with their combined might it’s a wonder
number five painted world of ariamis
Dark Souls if by chance you do stumble
into this area be warned without the
power of flame you might find yourself
trapped in a difficult nightmare this
land is certainly not peaceful as its
inhabitants are not very kind at all
enemies explode into toxic gas if
defeated without fire and there is no
means of teleporting out unless you
reach the end we can praise the Sun that
Priscilla is kind letting us escape this
painted world but this won’t be the last
time we’re trapped in a mess of a
masterpiece
number four the frigid outskirts Dark
Souls 2 the torch won’t help you here as
a giant blizzard blows over the tundra
hiding the safe passage to the other
side if getting lost was your only
problem this area wouldn’t be on our
list but monstrous reindeer charged out
of the snowy Vale ramming you in Gaza
massive damage – to make matters even
worse you’ll have to save up your estes
as a duo bossfight awaits you on the
other side
located under the sewers of the undead
burg this place is split between two
sections the upper areas feature narrow
wooden scaffoldings with silent toxic
snipers shooting at you from a farm
while the lake at the bottom can easily
kill you from the poison alone if you
don’t die by toxic or poison don’t fret
as Boulder wielding giants and enemies
hiding in pots will happily oblige and
granting you your death while the gutter
in Dark Souls 2 is also quite
frustrating this is one area that all
if Dark Souls 3 is truly the end of the
series then the Ring City went out
really strong and by strong we mean
difficult invincible angels firing
lasers headless enemies with massive
health and four bosses just scratch the
surface of this gorgeous city the beauty
can be difficult to see though from all
the archers filling your eye sockets
with arrows if you manage to see through
the blood and splintered wood you can
find some pretty cool weapons in gear
here it’s frustrating it’s thrilling and
also sad as it marks the end of one of
number one Tomb of the Giants Dark Souls
oh well you’ve been a stranger good to
see you well mate pitch-black darkness
requiring you to unequip either a
headpiece or a shield in order to have
light check giant skeletal warriors and
beasts hiding in the dark double check
narrow paths and precarious ledges with
giant arrows being fired at you looks
like we hit a trifecta located deep
underground the monstrosity is here our
near impossible to make out safer there
glowing eyes which even then only a few
possess as if there weren’t already
enough undead out to kill you
there’s a particular NPC who just loves
to trick others escaping this
underground hell is enough to make any
