History Characters / DemonsSoulsEnemiesAndBosses

* MetalSlime: They are prone to dropping shards of Hardstone and Sharpstone for upgrading. Quiet handy early game when said items are hard to come by.

* MoneySpider: Not money necessarily, but they are prone to dropping shards of Hardstone and Sharpstone for upgrading.

* FinalBoss: While he can technically be taken out anytime after killing any one Archdemom, he is clearly intended to be fought last. He's the [[spoiler: demonic doppelganger of the]] king of Boletaria, the one responsible for reawakening the Old One, resides at the end of the game-spanning Boletaria Palace, is the only Archdemon to have a level proceeding the fight, and is built up repeatedly by NPCs. His fight is also the most challenging in the game and the only Archdemon who isn't a gimmick fight, being instead a pure test of skill. So, while not technically more a FinalBoss than any other Archdemon, he fits in every other way.

* BigBadDuumvirate: The cause behind the Colorless Fog, the spread of the demons, the fall of Boletaria, and the slow death of the world. However it displays little will of it's own, and KingAllant was responsible for reawakening it and using it to wipe out Boletaria.

* FinalBoss: Not necessarily so, but the game does push you in that direction. For starters, you can only complete the first two zones of the Castle before hitting a fog wall that cannot be passed without an arch demon soul, requiring you to complete at least one of the other dungeons. On top of that, the Castle is the longest dungeon, with 4 complete zones with bosses compared to every other dungeon's 3 (with every other dungeon's third zone being a BossOnlyLevel to boot, a trait the Castle does not share). Finally, the False King is clearly the most climactic fight of all the dungeons given he is the doppleganger of the game's BigBad. All this said, there is nothing stopping you from going after him as soon as you complete any of the other dungeons.

* BigBad: The cause behind the Colorless Fog, the spread of the demons, the fall of Boletaria, and the slow death of the world.

%%* GutturalGrowler

* GodIsEvil: [[spoiler:The Old One is [[UnholyHolySword the true source of miracle power in the the fog]]. Freke claims this means the God that Saint Urbain and his followers worship is the Old One, but Allant claims the Old One is, itself, a creation of God.]]

* AntiVillain: Both are a [[ALighterShadeOfGrey TypeIV]]. Astraea is an Archdemon that has to die, and also the best thing that happened in the Valley of Defilement. Garl Vinland is ruthless against Astraea's foes, but he loves her and wants to protect her with his life.

* EasyLevelTrick: when you enter the Leechmonger's boss area, you're situated high about it on a platform circling around the boss arena where it can't get at you, the boss itself rooted in place. While fire spells can't reach it all that well unless you drop onto a lower platform (which is puts you at risk of projectiles), there literally is nothing stopping you from staying up there and pelting it with fire arrows, since thanks to the Leechmonger's glaring weakness to fire, will burn through his health far faster than it can be regenerated.

* AttackItsWeakpoint: [[spoiler: It has two weakpoints: the broken cleaver in its belly and the golden crow on its head. The crow is what can actually get damaged, and the cleaver can get struck by melee players to bring the creature fall down and put the crow in reach.]]

* EasterEgg: The book she's holding appears to be a copy of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Kells Book of Kells]], based on the pages that's visible.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She does not wear anything on her feet, which is justified as she floats instead of walking.

* BladeOnAStick: One variant wields a shield and Short Spear, with which they can block and attack at the same time. Another, rather rare variant wields a halberd.

* BladeOnAStick: They wield javelins that they can either throw or jab with.

* BladeOnAStick: One variant wields a Winged Spear that comes with a nasty multi-hit charging attack.

* BladeOnAStick: A very rare version wields a long spear that they can use to stab you between the bars of their cell.

* BladeOnAStick: Throws an enormous one out of the front gate after you open it. Her Hoplites are also armed with them.

* BladeOnAStick: Wields an enormous lance.

* WhipItGood: The more rare variation wields a riding crop that doesn't do much damage, but has good range and greatly saps stamina if it hits your shield.

The Sixth Saint of the Church, Astraea set out on a pilgrimage to find the Valley of Defilement. Upon reaching the Valley, Astraea took pity upon the abandoned masses. Her and her closest bodyguard, Garl Vinland, set off to help bring comfort to those awaiting their death. When the Fog arrived, Astraea's faith shattered. She wholly accepted the Fog, becoming a Demon martyr. Despite the rest of the clergy and the Church turning against her, Garl stood by her side the entire time.

* GlasgowGrin: They all sport permanent rictus grins.

The corrupted form of the tribeswoman Long Bow Oolan, one of the Knights of the Round Table of Boletaria. She was a great archer, although the only reason she chose to become one was to ensure that she never had to put her life in danger on the front-lines. The legionaries that protected her in life have now become Hoplites: spineless blobs wielding a large shield and spears. Oolan herself has now become the helpless, spineless core blob "Phalanx". She is protected by her Hoplites like she was in life.

* AndIMustScream: The Fog turned her into a helpless giant blob.

* DirtyCoward: As a human, she was an archer who stayed far away from battles and had soldiers as meat shields. As a Demon, she is a weak blob that spawns and completely relies on Hoplites to protect her hide. The weapon made with her Demon's soul is also a coward's weapon: a spear designed to destroy an enemy's equipment rather than fighting with skill.
* AFateWorseThanDeath: For her cowardice in life, she became a helpless blob that completely relies on her Hoplites.

The corrupted form of the Knight of the Tower, Alfred, a Knight of the Round Table of Boletaria. He was renowned for his unique Tower Shield, forged to stop almost any physical or magical attack. Once he became a Demon, he grew to a great height and wields a larger form of his shield.

%%* AFateWorseThanDeath

The corrupt form of the Knight of the Lance, Metas, a Knight of the Round Table of Boletaria. As a human, he wielded a straight-sword longer than most spears. As a Demon, he still wields his unique sword, albeit a version bolstered by Demon's souls.

A Demonic doppelganger created by the real Allant to rule Boletaria in his stead and spread the Deep Fog. The False King wields a false duplicate of the Soulbrandt, and his Demon Soul is used to reforge the Demonbrandt and Soulbrandt into the Northern Regalia.

A Demon marionette created by the Old Monk with the soul of his wife to trick the prisoners into believing the Queen was still alive.

The corrupted form of the fallen Risaia of Istarel, one of the wards of Maiden Astraea. After she met her death at the hands of three Giant Deprived Ones, Risaia's body fell into a mass of leeches, which feasted upon it. The Fog touched the soul-enhanced leeches, creating the Leechmonger.

A mysterious golem made from the corruption inhabiting the Valley. Faceless, asymmetrical in build, covered in "armor" made of broken shells and wood. Its right "hand" is an infected growth and its left is a void which fires out flies. Some speculate that it was made from the corpse of Vito the Moonlight Knight, one of Astraea's wards.

* BlingOfWar: Garl wears a full-body set of Dark Silver Armor and wields a Dark Silver Shield and the Bramd war mace. His reasons are justified, as all his equipment is enchanted to resist magic, bleeding, poisons, and the plague.

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Quite literally. The player only need kill one of the two to win the boss fight, as the other will commit suicide upon the death of their companion.]]

* SquishyWizard: Not particularly strong on the defensive front, and easy to stagger. However, their offense is terrifying.

* MegatonPunch: Serves as its most basic attack.

* DuelBoss: The fight is against a Black Phantom, sometimes another player.

* EasyLevelTrick: you can stand behind the first torch past the boss gate and pelt the Colossus with fire arrows with impunity, since as long as you're firing at it, it will prioritize hitting you with fly swarms rather than getting close enough to physically stop you from doing so. And on the off chance you do get hit? Just walk into the flames to burn them off and resume firing.

%%* AntiVillain: Both are a [[ALighterShadeOfGrey TypeIV]].

* WarmupBoss: The Vanguard is a very simple opponent with a predictable and easy to learn attack pattern. However, the one in the tutorial will still hit hard enough to potentially OneHitKill the unleveled starter player and is tough enough to take many, many hits to defeat, so it still shouldn't be taken lightly.

* LaserGuidedKarma: After profiting for so long through the soul arts, Allant is morphed into a grotesque, toad-like creature by those arts. Even better, it is all due to the player slaying the Archdemons, who were providing a steady stream of souls for Allant and the Old One.

* WhipItGood: The other variation wields a riding crop that doesn't do much damage, but greatly saps stamina if it hits your shield.

* HighlyVisibleNinja: They're dressed in completely white robes and have a tendency to ostentatiously leap down ''in front'' of you.

* SquishyWizard: Not particularly strong on the defensive front, and easy to stagger.

* FakeUltimateMook: Due to being gold and having the largest weapon of them all, you could be forgiven for thinking the Gold Skeletons are the strongest of the skeleton enemies. However, they are susceptible to stunlocking and when taken away from their advantage (the cliffside they can knock you off of) they aren't very difficult.

* GlassCannon: They hurt, but they can only take one good arrow shot before they're down.

* SinisterScythe: To complete the reaper motif.

* CarryABigStick
* GiantMook

* DirtyCoward: As a human and as a Demon. The weapon made with her Demon's soul is also a coward's weapon: a spear designed to destroy an enemy's equipment rather than fighting with skill.
%%* AFateWorseThanDeath

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Played straight if you decide to attack from the upper levels of the arena. His gigantic tower shield completely blocks all damage.

* TinTyrant: Is completely encased in a massive suit of armor.

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: That Fat Official you've been trailing? Yeah, you won't be seeing much of him.

* TinTyrant: Not to the same extent as the Tower Knight, but very much a qualifier.

* LevelDrain: The Soulsucker spell.
* LightIsNotGood: He wears white clothing and a pair of energy trails coming from his shoulders can resemble ethereal angel wings.
* LightningBruiser: ''The'' fastest and most-dangerous opponent in the game, although not as relentlessly aggressive as Flamelurker.

* NeckLift: Does this to you if you happen to get by his Soulsucker spell.
* RazorWind[=/=]SwordBeam: One of his most common attacks.

* WhiteHairBlackHeart: He's a demonic replica of the real Allant. Of course he's going to have a black soul.

* FinalBossPreview: If you kill the Vanguard at the end of the tutorial, he will be waiting for you at the bottom of a flight of stairs, more than willing to send you to the Nexus.

* MegatonPunch: Puts you on the receiving end of one, should you beat the Vanguard.

* PuzzleBoss: By comparison to every other boss in the game. You can't even get close enough to attack it without pinning it down first, and you have to switch between clearing out debris and hiding behind pillars so he doesn't annihilate you.

%%* RoarBeforeBeating: If this happens, get back behind a pillar quickly.

%%* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: This is the only way you can win his boss fight.%%What way?

%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
%%* RentAZilla: This dragon is massive.

* BonusBoss: You can easily complete the game without even seeing him. Impressing him with your mettle will get you the Demonbrandt. Killing him gets you his armor and a powerful ring.

* {{BFS}}: His WeaponOfChoice is a longsword with great reach.

* AnAxeToGrind: A rarer variant wields a battle axe, which can chew through your stamina if you attempt to block it.

* AnAxeToGrind: One version wields a two-handed Crescent Axe to great effect.

* AnAxeToGrind: Pickaxe, that is. They hurt to boot.

* AnAxeToGrind: Swings a gigantic axe called the Dozer Axe that you can craft yourself with its soul. It's strong, but has no scaling.

* DopplegangerAttack: Will summon clones of itself every time it exits a teleport.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: For some reason, she was made with two pairs of arms, holding a book containing a peculiar EasterEgg in her upper right hand and a rather thickly rolled scroll in her lower right hand.

* FlashyTeleportation: She can disappear into glowing golden particles then reppear somewhere else between attacks, reentering at the same time as some clones, which arrive at the exact same time she does, which makes it even harder to keep track of her among her doppelgangers.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: She can blink all over the place between attacks, which makes it even harder to keep track of her among her doppelgangers.
