Classic example is the depicted Demon of Hatred from Sekiro. Don’t get me wrong - the fight does work in Sekiro. But it would feel at home in something like Bloodborne, at least that’s what most fans say.

Is there any other boss you’ve encountered where you thought they’d fit a different soulslike better?

    Chained Ogre and Blazing Bull both need to be removed from Sekiro and placed in a Souls game. Maybe Dark Souls III or Elden Ring. Fast combat suits them but they need a good dodge mechanic, not parry.

      Don’t you use the grapple hook on Chained Ogre? I think he’s got one or two moves you can mikiri counter as well.

      Also, Sekiro has a pretty good dodge mechanic when it comes to grabbing attacks and the ones where they leap into the air and land on you.

      Now Demon of Hatred on the other hand… Fuck that boss.

      Blazing bull doesn’t work in a game with a stamina bar. It’s in Sekiro basically to point out to the player that you can just keep running.
