Life isn’t fair if you’re Bloodborne’s secret final boss, Moon Presence. While much of the appeal of this fight is tied into how tough it can be, Keeper of the Old Lords is a good roadblock in a game that needs them. Keeper of the Old Lords offers quite the challenge due to the variety of attacks at his disposal. hunter fights in Bloodborne, but this Chalice Dungeon boss is fairly interesting. Blood-Starved Beast just doesn’t ask anything of its challengers. Still, this is ultimately a pretty standard fight that loses some points for feeling like a step down from the game’s previous early boss encounters.

Loran Darkbeast almost didn’t make the list at all due to the fact he’s a very minor variation on an existing boss, but for the sake of argument, he’s just different enough to qualify.
