As part of a new publication in the playstationblog, several developers have been asked about which is their favorite boss of all the games developed by FromSoftware. Among them we have the legendary Hidetaka Miyazaki, who also answered this question and it may be that his answer ends up surprising you.
Miyazaki revealed that the Old Monks, which first appeared in Demon’s Souls and that he returned for the remake of Playstation 5, is his favorite boss of this kind of games. For those of you who aren’t very familiar with this boss, this is quite a unique fight as you’re not fighting just any enemy, but the old monk He summons a ghost to fight for him, but said ghost is controlled by a real player.
Miyazaki He mentioned that developing this boss was an extremely difficult task for him and his team, but ultimately, it needed to be incorporated into the game:
“I wanted that boss to be in the game, both from a visual and gameplay perspective, including the multiplayer element. It was quite a challenge, from how we implemented it to figuring out how much fun it would be, and no one believed we could do it at the time. But in the end we made it, and I think he became an intriguing boss that fans have come to appreciate.”
Within this post some other developers also make mention of some other bosses like Great Gray Wolf Sif, Dragonslayer Ornstein, and Executioner Smough. But which one is your favourite? Leave us your answer in the comments.
Publisher’s note: I agree that the Old Monk is one of the most interesting fights in all of Demon’s Souls, especially since these types of games usually have us fighting against enemies that are always much bigger than us, so a simple 1v1 fight against another player was a nice change of pace.
