Covetous Demon and Prowling Magus may not be exciting, but they have much better AI than a lot of the trash tier and even mid tier dark souls 1 bosses. it's a natural result of the developers getting more experience and understanding of how to make enemies behave with each installment.

Compare Covetous Demon to Gaping Dragon for example. now you can certainly make the case that Gaping Dragon is a much better boss for many other reasons, but the Covetous Demon has a much more refined AI cycle -- more diverse moveset -- and better understanding and reaction to the position of the player.

Complaining about Covetous Demon or Prowling Magus are, once again, shallow arguments that totally lack understanding of the elements that go into game design.

I didn't even bring up the absurdity of the fact that you fight Asylum Demon repeatedly in the game. The fact that his move set and his spatial awareness are so limited is what really makes him so much worse than even the low tier DS2 bosses. and the problems that the Asylum Demon has ARE actually symptomatic of issues with a lot of enemy design in dark souls 1 -- and even demon's souls. he's not just a 5 second loading screen.

also -- I know I am very good at these games, so don't worry about offending me with comments about my skill. it honestly doesn't make any difference to me whether you think so or not.

all the rest weren't so unfortunate
