This is the game I'm playing right now and unsurprisingly, it's absolutely amazing. The Abyss Watchers fight is what gave me the most trouble so far, but it wasn't too bad. I do have a feeling things will get very serious now that I reached Irithyll of the Boreal Valley. There's just something about FromSoftware's world building, design and gameplay, they are masters in their craft. One thing for sure, I don't know how people actually enjoy and remember these boss themes because I'm so stressed and focused that I barely realize what's playing. My hands rarely get sweaty, but this series does it. It's actually when I listen to the soundtrack afterwards that I truly appreciate the compositions.

You’ve got a real bastard of a boss waiting for you in Irithyll, but it’s a good one.

Personally, I like to turn down sound effects and turn up the music. Not only am I distracted by having to focus on the bosses, but the music is also quiet in the overall game sound. Since no music plays during regular level exploration anyway, it works out well for me and it really helps me appreciate the awe-inspiring compositions. Enjoy Dark Souls 3! I know I did!

Just finished playing this for the third time. Abyss Watchers are the first tough boss, and one of the best. From here on, the game gets better and the difficulty of the bosses really steps up. That one boss in Irithyll, holy crap... Don't forget to play DLCs for the best bosses and the best area! And I like to lower the sound effects volume so I can hear the music better. This is one of my favorite battle themes.

I just finished this game recently and loved it. It’s a phenomenal entry for the series and I highly recommend the DLCs. That final Ringed City boss is one of the best in the series and his arena/music are just perfect. Best of luck in Irithyll!

There's one boss theme that actually doesn't sound quite right *out* of game. The boss walks in time with the music somewhat, and without their ominous, echo-y footsteps, it just doesn't quite do it for me.

Played through DS3 for the 10th time last week before Sekiro released.. still one of my favorites

SupraDarky You enjoy the theme because you do the boss a lot of times and it enters into your mind x)

Nice, my favorite main story boss theme. Instead of an adrenaline pumping theme, this is a more sombre piece fitting for a tragic boss fight. Still had me rolling for my life though.haha

I eventually learned the song because I get killed so many times that I can't help but internalize them... The Abyss Watchers really is an outstanding theme, though. I'm glad you're having fun!

Bloodborne is fucking amazing lol. I just love the aggressive kill or be kill combat pattern. In DS1-3 it feels a lot more like a struggle to survive instead of a struggle to kill them first but still masterpiece. The grand map design in DS1 hard-outshines every other soulsborne series game imo. Aka the immersion imho.

Ooohhh, this is a good one. I love these guys, their whole backstory of “holy shit Artorias is so cool” is great and they’ve got a really fun boss fight. I love the idea of a group of people fated to continuously fight to the death, then once a formidable foe arrives, they all gather into one body to test their might. Coolest fan club ever. Also their chest armor is perfect, it goes with fucking everything and I rock it every time I play DS3.
