Which Souls Game Has the Best Tutorial Boss?

[@gfg51]

Soldier of GODrick obviously the greatest

[@benlewis3578]

I’d agree with gundyr being so high. Sets the perfect standard of what to expect through DS3 with phases and attack patterns while also giving the player the opportunity to learn to parry. Great design as well and also gives the player the opportunity to understand how to deal with his later fight.

Bloodborne's Father Gascoigne is the best tutorial boss I'd say

[@yaboiricku919]

DS2's first boss is definitely the last giant lol

[@mrnao9283]

I suppose so but I didn’t want to consider it as the first boss it just seems to easy like I said

[@yourbro7505]

Mine was dragon rider

[@General_Vaderz]

Every 1st boss are easy asf​@@mrnao9283

I don't see how anyone can disagree with this list. Gundyr is genuinly such a enjoyable and rewarding boss. He is fairly easy and was the boss that roped me into the entire souls series. His moveset is simple and he is extremely rewarding especially for new players. Also his second phase is just the chefs kiss of making him feel very unique with the design.

Vanguard Demon, Last Giant, Cleric Beast, Genichiro, Grafted Scion and Soldier of Godrick left the chat XD

[@MagnumDongG]

damn, Grafted Scion really gettin shafted

[@mrnao9283]

I would have included grafted scion but it’s mostly impossible to beat unless you’re a pro or cheese him

[@NeonKnight-uc3kl]

Looking back, grafted scion is the best foreshadowing for what is to come after

[@meekxd8057]

my favourites are gundyr and gascoigne (if you wanna count him)

Margit, Gundyr, Gasgoine and Cleric Beast were the best tutorial bosses imo, tho Cleric Beast is technically optional. They all taught things about the game that needed to be taught. Margit told players to go explore, he has a bunch of jumpable attacks, and his stance is low, but not so low that you can cheese him with stance breaks. He teaches you aggression, but mindfulness. He also indicates how complex and acrobatic ER movesets were going to be. He is also easily overlevelled, since he has only 4k health, easy work with even a +4 smithing weapon and at level 25. Gundyr teaches players about speed and 2nd phases. DS3's main change wad the speed of the souls format. BB was outside the souls combat loop, so Gundyr does a good job of showing how DS3 works. The 2 phases also cover the 2 generic fighters, 1. Knight 2. Monster. It also makes it clear that most bosses wil have a Phase 2. Gasgoine introduces the player to the hunter and hunter sized beast bosses of BB. Cleric Beast on the other hand introduces aggressive and hit trade playstyle. The Cleric Beast has low health, and low damage, but dodging away is punished heavily. So dodging in is the strat. All great tutorial bosses imo

[@blizzardgaming7070]

Gundyr and it's not even close.

[@baulbasauur7659]

covetous demon is s tier bro wdym

[@flamebutt37]

tell em @baulbasauur7659

[@stevenallday-y3l]

asylum demon will always be the goat ngl

[@KlyeKlyeKlye]

Gundyr is definitely the best tutorial boss, mostly just because he kept game journalists from seeing Firelink Shrine 😜

[@mrnao9283]

agreed lol

[@user-gp1qi4nl2u]

gundyr, bye

[@catarro8045]

No demons souls?
