Ranking the Dark Souls 2 Bosses #41 (Finale)

Our last boss...
Belfry Gargoyles

I know the other raffle is still up but I just want to finish this series and move onto the next one. The lore for the gargoyles is pretty complicated so listen up. They guard a bell. That was a lot to take in i know, but it's over. Gargoyles guarding bells is nothing new, it was a boss in the first game even. You're probably thinking that it's just a rehash of the DS1 version right? Yes and no. The gargoyles have pretty much the same exact moves as the Bell Gargoyles in DS1. But, instead of fighting 2 large gargoyles, you fight 5 smaller gargoyles. If you know anything about these gargoyles, it doesn't make it easier. The Belfry version all share the same health bar but each gargoyle has their own health bar, kind of like the Living Failures from Bloodborne. Gargoyles are known for their stupidly long ass reach with their weapons, their flanking capabilities, and fire. Up to a max of 3 gargoyles can fight you at a time, but after you kill one, another one immediately takes its place. Again, crowd control is possible, but it's not helpful here. The only spots for crowd control are at the edges of the roof where you could get knocked off and die... or get cornered and die. I just try to bait out the attacks from two gargoyles and rush down the third one quickly. I don't know if the DS1 version has this attack, but the Belfry ones can also shoot lightning from their bidents. It kind of sucks and usually never hits you. Speaking of lightning, the gargoyles are weak to it so... use it. Also this version is optional and you don't need to fight them to beat the game. At least the DS1 version was important to the plot of the game. You don't even get cool gargoyle armor or weapons for killing them. You can't even chop off their tails for an ax. 

I kind of wished they just reused the fight from the first game, it's so much better, they even use the same music. I guess that would be too lazy though. This fight is just so annoying and frustrating. It's not a fun-annoying fight like the DS1 version, this just sucks. I'll put these guys above Velstadt... man... I hate gargoyles.

I don't mind that Dark Souls 2 has more bosses compared to the other games in the series, but at least make them good. Over half of the bosses in this game just suck ass. They're either really easy, forgettable, or annoying to fight. There are good fights don't get me wrong like Fume Knight and Sir Alonne, but they really wiffed on some of these bosses. They had great concepts but terrible executions. Finally, it's over...
I did it!
