7. Slave Knight Gael (Dark Souls 3)
Hardest Soulsborne Bosses
From the first time you meet the ragged warrior known as Gael, there’s something off about him. Clearly a bit mad and more than a little eager to send you into unknown dangers, he always seems to be planning something just beyond your comprehension.
This all comes into focus when players release the illusion cast on the ringed city and are greeted by Gael in earnest for the first time.
One of the oldest living men in the land, he has hunted countless undead for their dark souls to allow for the creation of a new painted world, and you’re his next target.
Capable of leaping across the battlefield in an instant, he unleashes flurries of crossbow bolts, sword strikes and waves of magic in quick succession, and only becomes more ferocious after players complete his first phase.
It’s fitting that such a challenge stands between the ashen one and the final dregs of a dying world, but that doesn’t make it any easier to surmount.
