>>736614898kek
>>736614898Phalanx will always stick out by being an unique idea out of the gate and his level perfectly setting you up to demolish him if you play smart. You learn how to manage the entire series in 1 perfect level.

>>736614898homero the numbered
>Lamentation of a Nuclear Panner Plant>And so the jaundiced king laid his hands upon his heir, squeezing the life from the razor haired usurper. Yet even as he committed this atrocity he wept, "Bart, forgive me."
>el barto... forgive me...

>>736614960>Sneedzibart... forgive me>not just Bart... forgive me
>>736614898Taurus demon on the castle wall fight. Also Ornstein and Smaugh is probably the most infamous
>>736614898>Artorias set the standard for "dude in armor" duel for the rest of the series>Bed of Chaos is iconic for how absolutely dogshit it is>Ornstein and Smough. I will not elaborate. >Penetrator for being the testbed for what Artorias and other "dude in armor" duel would eventually become, as well as being widely considered to be the best boss in DeS>Fume Knight (Maybe Sir Alonne too) is iconic for being genuinely fantastic in a game with a lot of duds>Abyss Watchers are an iconic wall for new players as well as being one of two great multi-boss fights (O&S)>Ludwig is the entire reason to purchase the Old Hunters DLC - great fight and argueably the best theme in the series>Lady Maria/Blackflame Friede/Malenia Blade of Miquella are iconic difficult fast paced duels that all share the same DNA>Slaveknight Gael for being the actual final boss of the series and having a fantastic fight to complete it as a whole>PLIN PLIN PLONAlthought my favorite boss across the series is Darkeater Midir, I cannot consider him iconic enough to add to the list. He is just the best dragon fight in the series, which honestly isn't crazy special.
>>736614898Myrmidon of D'oh

>>736614898El Homo the uncalled
>VanguardI shouldn't need to explain this>PhalanxAnother fight that became recurrent throughout the series, the archetypical fight against a horde that has one enemy that is the actual boss and will be reused and remixed later by things like the Deacons of the Deep>Old MonkRegardless of stupid hat itself becoming a standard item it set the standard for the boss archetype of the boss being actually another player which will be remixed and reused later by things like Looking Glass Knight, Spear of the Church etc.>Tower KnightSet the standards for the classic bigass humanoid boss that you torture by biting at its ankles>Maiden AstraeaLoved by midwits to this day even if the actual boss is Garl Vinland>ManeatersGargoyle 0.1 duo fight that is pretty much in every Souls game>PenetratorTHE 1v1 knight fight that even Artorias derives from>Storm KingTHE gimmick fight and also the fight connected to the recurrent gimmick sword and attack associated with it, perfected by Rykard in ER>False King AllantTHE Old Man Still Got It™ final boss that is used ad nausem even in BB or Sekiro>Capra DemonGank bossfight archetype>SifDoggo fight, reused plenty of times>Ornstein&SmoughDuo knight fight that tons of people remember>GwynPlinplinplon, otherwise it's just FKA again>ArtoriasPolished the corrupted knight fight that Penetrator started and became iconic for narrative reasons as well>GundyrAKA the champ, archetypical agile bruiser bossfight, you can see some DNA from Old Hero but it's kind of its own thing at the end of the day>Nameless KANGThe boss that set the standards for delayed swings>Maria/Friede/MaleniaSuper final boss bossgirl Zinaida archetype straight outta AC which Miyazaki loves to reuse whenever he gets the chance, fast,strong hitter, ridiculous cheater, but has dogshit poise>MargitThe most iconic early game filter so far, billions have died
>>736619240>Homer is d'ohified.>The flanders tell tales of him.
>>736619240

>as you approach you see Homer sat upon his seat>without provocation, you shoot him and he crumbles to dust>a brief respite at the end of your journey, but something is wrong>you begin to hear a light ringing>an enormous energy blast cleaves through the room, vaporizing you>You did not reach the Nuclear Phone
the other archetype would be home with a broken leg limping and exposed ribs and other general asymmetries
