Honorable Mentions
Before we get into the list proper, there are a few enemies that deserve to be mentioned, even if only to say their names in a harsh, hate-filled whisper. While they may not be the most diabolical of offenders, they have certainly provided their own fair share of deaths and despair.
Cathedral Evangelist: These fat, creepy jerks are just a nuisance to fight against, as their spiked mace has incredible range and knock back. Not to mention they can cast ranged spells and light themselves on fire before giving you a big ol’ bear hug. If they weren’t so easy to backstab, these masked monsters would certainly make the list.
Corpse-grub: Oh you don’t have a torch? That’s a pity, hope you enjoy the constant build up of bleed damage for what seems like forever. Thanks for looking out for me Dark Souls III.
Corvains: Better known as those screeching bird monsters, only don’t make this list because you can kill them before they sprout their wings. That still doesn’t make my screen filled with feathers and flapping wings anymore of a nuisance.
Rock Lizard: Stop. Knocking. Me. Off. Cliffs. If they weren’t so useless when not in their rolling form, these baddies would actually be a really frustrating battle.
Winged Knight: Because fighting surprisingly agile enemies with really long reaching weapons wasn’t easy enough; Dark Souls III decided to throw you up against three on the Lothric Castle roof. Fun.
