FromSoftware has made a wide variety of soulsborne games that have challenged players over the years. Like any Dark Souls or Bloodborne title, the player will encounter bosses on their adventures that they must defeat if they hope to progress further in the game. Naturally these enemies get harder the further the player makes it in the game, though different soulsborne titles have also caused players to encounter different types of enemies.
The final boss of the game is usually the strongest as well as being the most difficult to defeat. FromSoftware has caused the player to encounter some intense final battles and bosses. When ranking every final boss in these soulsborne games, some of these bosses are far more impressive than others to the players.
7 Nashandra (Dark Souls 2)
While Nashandra may look like an interesting foe to face due to her intricate design that sees the once mortal queen transform into a skeletal figure, players found this final boss battle in Dark Souls 2 surprisingly easy, especially when compared to the other foes faced in the game.
Many of her attacks revolve around the ginormous scythe she carries with her that sees the player learning how to avoid each strike. The only bit of challenge that comes with this final boss battle is through her Lifedrain Patch, a hex that drains the health of the player if they stand too close to an orb. Besides this, Nashandra is still an intriguing final boss of the title that didn't jeopardize the enjoyment many players had with the game.
6 King Allant (Demon's Souls)
While players may, at first, mistake this boss choice for Old King Allant, this isn't actually the last boss of the game and is also not really the original King Allant. The Old King Allant may share the man's body but is in fact a demon that he sold his soul to.
King Allant is the easiest boss to defeat in the entirety of Demon's Souls as it doesn't even fight back. This fight evokes an emotional connection among the fans as it shows what happens when a King allows greed to get the best of them; with the king agreeing to sell soul and only becoming ooze as a reward.
5 The Moon Presence (Bloodborne)
While Gehrman, The First Hunter, may be the final boss for some in Bloodborne, those that consumed three One Third of Umbilical Cords before taking on Gehrman will then summon The Moon Presence to descend onto the battlefield. As a player may have guessed, this battle is excruciatingly difficult due to it being one major boss battle after the other, with many players struggling to defeat the creature from the moon.
Thankfully, in some small favor, The Moon Presence is easier than Gehrman though this doesn't stop it from being a difficult battle, especially as it acts like a vicious animal similar to that of the Blood-Starved Beast.
4 Soul Of Cinder (Dark Souls 3)
Dark Souls 3 was another soulsborne title developed by FromSoftware that amazed fans of the genre and the Dark Souls franchise. In this title, the player had been challenged to keep on their toes as many of the bosses they faced were abominations with lethal attacks, and the Soul of Cinder was no different.
As an amalgamation of all the Lords of Cinder put together, this burning boss was a challenge for many players as it swapped between the attack styles of the different lords. Players that had experienced the original Dark Souls may have a stronger connection to this boss due to reintroducing a fan favorite.
3 Gwyn, The Lord Of Cinder (Dark Souls)
Following on from the old boss that players were reintroduced to in Dark Souls 3, players originally met this Lord of Cinder at the end of the original Dark Souls. Gwyn, the Lord of Cinder, is an unforgettable foe that made many players fall in love with the Dark Souls franchise as they hoped for the bosses in the future of the Soulsborne franchise to follow in his footsteps.
Besides the emotional impact this battle has on the player, Gwyn is also a deadly foe to face as any deity should be. His attacks are incredibly unpredictable and they make fighting this fast-paced and aggressive enemy quite a challenge. If a player can avoid both his physical and flame hits, then they are sure to best the once Lord of Sunlight.
2 Elden Beast (Elden Ring)
While many of these bosses are humanoid, which gives players the familiarity of defeating another person, Elden Ring strips this away with their final battle, as players take on the galaxy-filled dragon known as the Elden Beast.
While being one of the tallest bosses in Elden Ring, it is of no surprise to players that this alien-like creature carries tremendous power within its AOE attacks, as well as making the beautiful battlefield its own. As a god-like boss, players will find that many of the abilities that saved them in previous battles are not going to work on this beast. The battle also starts quickly after Radagon of the Golden Order has been defeated, giving the player little time to prepare.
1 Isshin, The Sword Saint (Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice)
Out of all the final bosses available in FromSoftware games, by far the greatest out of all of them is the infamous Sword Saint, Isshin. Like any good final boss, the battle with Isshin, The Sword Saint, has three phases to it that will challenge and push the limits of the player further as they avoid the brutally large swords this samurai wields.
The battle against Isshin is only made better by the incredible battlefield the fight takes place in. As far as final bosses go, Isshin matches perfectly with the vibe of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, leaving many players to feel as if they are part of a classic feudal Japan-themed movie. Overall, Isshin is a formidable foe that wraps up the story and combat of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice nicely for those who enjoy Soulsborne titles.
