Bonus points for letting us summon LordranвЂ™s #1 pup to the fight. Coupled with the relentless fury and dark magic of his moveset, fighting Manus is a long, adrenaline-pumping nightmare from start to finish.

The Gaping Dragon is such a visual shocker that you find yourself unsure of what to expect вЂ“ where do you attack something made of giant ribs and teeth? Can it even fly? And as if to answer, this giant abomination eventually starts leaping into the air with its mangled wings and slamming into the ground without warning. What seems like a relatively harmless tiny-headed reptile turns out to be somethingвЂ¦ a lot more.

A fitting climax to a level full of flooded ruins and shrieking ghosts. Fighting these horrifying, corrupted abyss-dwellers feels like lashing around at deep sea abominations swimming up to you in the dark.

After hearing so much about the ancient dragons, getting to fight one of the last, and most powerful of its kind, is a thrill that shouldnвЂ™t be passed up. Image courtesy Boss Fight Database (via YouTube)Kalameet puts up one of the toughest fights on the list thanks to his vicious speed and menacing black fire, and thatвЂ™s even after being shot down by a giant with a greatbow. Especially when you get to ring that first bell at the top of the tower, letting all surrounding players in Lordran know your journey has really begun.

Creator says in the description that he didn't make any new art assets for it, but so far it's a very fun mod and if it sustains the level of quality I've experienced so far, i'd say it's the best available.Image courtesy Boss Fight Database (via YouTube)YouвЂ™ve already tested your might on a few minor Dark Souls bosses by the time you reach the Bell Gargoyle, but the thrill of slaying not one, but вЂ“ surprise вЂ“ two winged demons on the roof of a massive churchвЂ¦ it feels like a rite of passage. Newest is Daughters of Ash, I'm only near the start of this one since it's just come out a few days ago, but it seems to remix the game much further than PTDA, and has many changes to level layout, enemy placement, boss AI, extra boss encounters, items, etc. Couple of memorable parts were A more extensive O&S fight and fighting artorias on an equal playing field (i.e myself also being afflicted by the abyss) Near the end the difficulty is a bit too much, as you have to beat every single boss to face Gwyn, and I didn't have the patience to keep going, but the mod is well done and worth a try. Also changes the overworld and story progression in an interesting way. Scorched contract: Every boss you kill gives a different permanent effect, rule of thumb is the harder the boss the more difficult the effect is to deal with. Some minor changes other than rearranging too. Game is reshuffled, but not too much harder.

Prepare to die again: Kind of like a zelda master quest type thing. There are a few full-game changing mods, nothing really 'essential' since after DSFix the game is pretty comfy on PC.
