The bosses are a bit... underwhelming sometimes, I'll concede.
Both in design, concept, and execution.
But there are so MANY of them and honestly... Dark Souls' combat is just so good that I didn't care as much.
Though... there aren't any bosses that made me go "WHAT THE FUCKING SHITCUNT ASSDICK IS THAT?!" like the Centipede Demon in the sequel... but meh.
One thing I'll say is that there is... uhh...
NO BED OF CHAOS.
NO. BED. OF. CHAOS.
Thank GOD. I fucking hated the Bed of Bullshit. It's basically the sole reason I won't boot up the original again because I know I HAVE to kill it. Uggh... I'll beat it eventually, but really... it's mostly just dumb luck.
War is God.@prom: but so many bosses commit so many number of sins
sin number 1: attack tracking is absurd
sin number 2: dark souls combat is not particularly well-designed for one-versus-multiples fights and they keep throwing fights with multiple bosses at once at you. it isn't fun in the slightest.
sin number 3: "big knight-like dude with big weapon" makes up the majority of the boss roster
sins 1 and 2 turn many of the bosses from what could have been engaging and exciting battles into infuriating battles of attrition and tests of your patience

but srsly
the centipede demon
wtf
that thing is just
like
WHY
I can't even tell where it begins or ends
it's just a clusterfuck to the eyes
and it scares the piss out of me
@Duff Yeah, I get you.
I FEEL YA BRO
I REALLY DO
I just... think the game has far too many improvements and they just... outshine the flaws.
Also, the Iron King is a total fucking pushover. What a ripoff.
He looked SO
DAMN
COOL
And like... he's one of the easiest bosses in the game... like... even solo
so ridiculous
I mean... yeah... he's a discount Balrog... but FUCK
The Balrog looks so badass that even a cheap knockoff is automatically badass
but... why is he so easy
like... why
Also, yeah, the four knights in the Lost Bastille wrecked my shit for a while until I figured I had to use co-op, in that regard... it's kind of bad, since I could solo pretty much every boss in the original

War is God.Oh man
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK those Gargoyles
...yeah... okay
I'll admit, they really really got too happy with the more than one on one boss shit in the sequel
The only bosses I can really recall that were more than one on one in the original were...
obviously Ornstein and Smough, the Capra Demon (because those dogs are a bigger pain than him), Nito (same as Capra Demon), annddd... that's all I can think of.
War is God.OH YEAH i almost forgot the demon priest and congregation
WELL
of the significant things
cloud and rennor tried being gods and that didn't work out
and sayaka got turned into a mermaid trying to save her alternate timeline counterpart
AND thaaaat's about it I think

lol
But they were easy
....if you had AoE attacks
heh...
Okay yeah, the bosses are kinda.... ehhh...
BUT THE GAME IS SO GOOD
IT'S JUST SO GOOD
Oh... duh... I forgot the Four Kings
But they only kinda count because you can usually kill one king before another comes
