What's your favorite recurring boss enemy?

[Royal]

As in the ones you find in the dungeons and such. For me it's the Grave Warden Duelists, especially the hammer ones. I wish you couldn't backstab them because they actually have a sick moveset that's really fun to fight and them being easy to cheese via backstabs is like my only issue with them.

None of them, actually. Repeated bosses and enemies are my least favorite thing about this game

erdtree avatars

it's satisfying to hit their thick bodies with stuff

[Cootswig]

Yeah the erdtree avatars are fun to fight.
Crucible knight's are fun aswell after you fight them often enough.

Dislike: stupid stone cats

Crucible Knights

[Yard-Dog®]

Crucible Knights in any form strike fear into my heart every time I encounter one. They are unrelenting tanks, and the excitement and the adrenaline rush make for a great battle...and that catharsis that follows once felled...chef's kiss.

Ulcerated Tree Spirits I find pretty fun to fight, a good challenge at least. Just gotta get past the "panic" phase most player go into when they see one of these for the first time.

On the opposite end, ♥♥♥♥ ancient dragons. One of the few enemies where I acknowledge the camera as a legit issue, jank hitboxes, and aftershock attacks. These things are more cancerous than revenants, which I can at least block without constant lightning bleedthrough.

It's hard to pick a favorite, probably the gargoyles. I also like Erdtree avatars, Crucible Knights, and ulcerated tree spirits. The grave warden duelists are fun too. And since there is a boss runebear in Weeping Peninsula, do runebears count as a recurring boss? They're a lot of fun to fight.

+1 for Crucible Knights. I don't mind them nearly as much now that I've discovered their biggest weakness is a well-timed parry.

I never parried in any souls game aside from "testing". (Sekiro does not count, deflect is more lenient than light dodge at any Souls game)

It took me a while to learn parry timing, but that's fair. Kudos to you for beating CKs without parries, that's an achievement in itself lol (unless you're using magic)

I use Golden Halberd or Great Axes.

Yeah, you can kinda hug the ulcerated spirits most of the time without taking damage. Rune bears you can round around very closely. Avatars are fun because at some point they just become normal enemies and you can beat them without a sweat, which is satisfying. Also fun to take out the flaming heads (not a boss tho) and the abductor virgins. I did make a point to fight the big birds in Caelid, but this enemy-type is tough imo...

OOOO YEAH, especially the sword ones. I remember fighting that one in the Limgrave evergaol and having an absolute blast. Incredibly satisfying to beat.

Not a fan of Runebears myself but I can see the appeal!

[Sean Maxhell]

Avatars, Ulcerated, Watchdogs.

[Ted]

None tbh. Once I am done with a boss I never want to see them again...

[nohelpforu]

Crucible Knights. Theres a strong and direct lore reason they exist, they have varied movesets, they feel totally different to fight depending on your weapons and playstyle, and you can rp them.

I felt pretty great when I began staggering them after repeatedly seeing threads saying that was impossible.
