![]() The Old Monk is the shadow behind the power that lurks within the Tower of Latria – the creator of the horrors within, and the ruler who throws those who defy him into the Prison of Hope. And it’s the most rewarding feeling when you defeat him. It’s a pure match of skill and reaction, mano a mano. He is a true warrior, and that’s why I enjoy this battle the most. ![]() His appearance is striking in his amazing silver armor with red accents, and his darting sword is lethal. ![]() The counter-opposite to the lumbering Tower Knight, Penetrator is all about deadly, quick attacks. ![]() Out of all the abominations that pour suffering upon the land of Boletaria, the most iconic for me is Penetrator. Here are a few anecdotes from those who have suffered and triumphed before, including myself. We were curious about which bosses were most memorable to our friends and colleagues, so we asked a few of them which were their favorites. But there’s an immense sense of satisfaction when you finally defeat them. This first encounter sets up the trepidation and fear that will hound you each time you face off against a new and terrifying boss. His sheer bulk and strength will overwhelm even the most skilled players. Even your very first encounter, with the corpulent Vanguard, will test your mettle at the opening of your adventure. ![]() One thing that always struck me about the bosses of Demon’s Souls is their sheer variety, with each of them designed to make you feel inconsequential and outmatched – small against the Tower Knight, slow against Penetrator, funneled into a narrow space by the Armored Spider, with nowhere to run. ![]()
