* The ''Ashes of Ariandel'' DLC offers a fight that is as challenging as it is spectacular: Lady Friede. She starts the fight as a bonafide LightningBruiser, with rapid scythe combos on par with the likes of [[VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}} Gehrman]]. She can dash across the room in seconds to hook you with her scythe, create exploding ice crystals on the ground, and many other tricks that would be enough to qualify her for this page by themselves. But once you take her down, Father Ariandel promptly freaks out and comes after you himself... but not before ''reviving Friede''. Round two of the fight is a chaotic endurance match as you have to contend with not only Friede's vicious moveset, but Ariandel's imposing presence as well. Once you finally slay them both, the music goes silent, and you expect "Heir of Fire Destroyed" to pop up any moment. It doesn't. Instead, Ariandel gives an ominous speech as Friede revives ''again'' as Blackflame Friede, drawing a second magical scythe to dice you with and turning her already-intense attacks UpToEleven. This is a boss that makes you ''work'' for your victory.

* The Nameless King is one of the most visually stunning battles in the games, in addition to being an awesome fight in its own right. There's a good reason for this: You're fighting the literal God Of War of the Souls series. Not a hollowed god, not a god of death who has been drained of power for untold ages, and not a cowardly god who spends the entire battle fleeing from you. This is a full-on battle against a real, living god, one at the height of his power, and who is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with you. With him being the last of the true gods, this battle is the LastDance for the deities of Dark Souls as a whole, and as he wrecks your face for perhaps the hundredth time, you'll begin to understand why guys like him reigned undisputed until the fire began to die.

* The Nameless King is one of the most visually stunning battles in the games, in addition to being an awesome fight in its own right. There's a good reason for this: You're fighting the literal God Of War of the Souls series. Not a hollowed god, not a god of death who has been drained of power for untold ages, and not a cowardly god who spends the entire battle fleeing from you. This is a full-on battle against a real, living god, one at the height of his power, and who is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with you. With him being the last of the true gods, this battle is the LastDance TheLastDance for the deities of Dark Souls as a whole, and as he wrecks your face for perhaps the hundredth time, you'll begin to understand why guys like him reigned undisputed until the fire began to die.

Provided that you grab the Storm Ruler on the other side of the room aren't being stupid about using it, you and Siegward proceeded to ''destroy'' Yorm utterly (basically, by timing your attacks so you two can ''stunlock'' him, fighting Yorm with Siegward beside you becomes almost ''trivial'' provided that Siegward isn't killed in the process).
