Optional Boss	comment	Bosses are big, scary, and typically await you at the end of each level. Gameplay wise, they serve as the ultimate challenge of skills the player has learned so far. In the story they are typically villains or other opponents that antagonize The Hero is a specific story segment. But not all bosses are like this; some you just don't get to fight normally. Sometimes the developers want the player to have something else to do and challenge themselves with extra fights. It can be a good opportunity to add some worldbuilding with side-quests and problems irrelevant to the Myth Arc. The player doesn't have to solve every trouble the townsfolk have, but it's often encouraged. The reward can be just extra loot to help yourself (especially in Forced Level-Grinding), a Disc-One Nuke, or an unlockable secret. Subtropes: Route Boss: A boss that is only encountered in one particular story branch and not the other. Skippable Boss: A boss that is encountered, but the fight can be aborted depending on player choices. A Pacifist Run requires you to flee from boss encounters if possible. Superboss: A boss that is designed to be Nintendo Hard and tougher than any other boss. May give a Disc-One Nuke or Bragging Rights Reward on defeat, turning the Final Boss into an Anti-Climax Boss. True Final Boss: Final Bosses that are locked out until the player meets certain criteria. Usually required for a Golden Ending.

Optional Boss / int_1f630f72	comment	Dark Souls III: The Curse-rotted Greatwood does not need to be beaten to travel to the next area, and the Giant Archer's greatarrows can end up discouraging the player from trying to reach the Curse-rotted Greatwood anyway. However, beating it earns the player the Transposing Kiln, which is needed to turn boss souls into weapons, equipment, and spells. The Stray Demon Mini-Boss does not need to be fought to progress through Faron Keep, as it is only found in a very out of the way location in the area. The Old Demon King is very easy to miss, as reaching the area he's found in requires cutting down the bridge in the Catacombs of Carthus. And since the game encourages the player to steer clear of the bridge and find another route, it's entirely possible to go through the game without even knowing of the area's existence. Oceiros, the Consumed King can only be encountered by taking a detour before reaching Lothric Castle, and killing him is not required to progress the main plot. However, beating him does grant the player access to Archdragon Peak and the Untended Graves. Champion Gundyr is found in the optional Untended Graves area, which itself can only be accessed by beating the optional boss fight against Oceiros. However, beating him is necessary to getting the "End of Fire" ending, as an item needed to achieve that ending, the Fire Keeper's Eyes, can only be found in an area blocked off by him. Because the game's DLCs do not need to be completed to finish the game, all 6 of the boss fights found in them are completely optional. Among them, Ashes of Ariandel's Champion's Gravetender and Gravetender Greatwolf and The Ringed City's Darkeater Midir are this even in the context of their respective DLCs. The Champion's Gravetender and Gravetender Greatwolf can only be encountered if the player cuts down the bridge to Ariandel Chapel, and the two don't have any relevance to the DLC's main plot, only existing as a wall between the player and the Arena added in the DLC. Darkeater Midir, meanwhile, can only be reached by the player going far out of the way of the main areas, and even then, fighting him requires they first beat him when he attacks them in the path to Filianore's Church.

Optional Boss / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, in the Final Chapter, Arion is flying around with a squad of Wyvern Knights. However, the chapter can be cleared without ever fighting him, and he'll even become an NPC ally if Altena talks to him. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has General Bryce of Daein. Appearing in the last level of the game, Bryce stands in the centre of the map, astride the easiest path to the Final Boss, Mad King Ashnard. If you take him on and take him out, you can loot the most powerful lance in the game, the Wishblade. It is, however, entirely possible to avoid fighting Bryce by taking another route. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn has Levail, General Zelgius's apprentice and Bryce's successor as the wielder of the Wishblade. While Ike fights a Duel Boss battle with Zelgius, the rest of your team takes on Levail and his army. Defeating Zelgius is all that you have to do to beat the level, and the rest of your troops don't even have to move, let alone fight Levail (who, as a top-level Sentinel equipped with the Wishblade, is one of the few genuine threats you'll meet in the last quarter of the game). Many choose to engage him though, out of the desire to kill a few more opponents and maybe get their hands on the Wishblade.

Reshef of Destruction: At the start of the game, before you board the Duel Express, you can visit KaibaCorp to find Rebecca trying to get back at Kaiba for tearing up her grandfather's copy of Blue-Eyes. Kaiba has no patience for this but lets you challenge her instead. However, because you've just started and your deck flat-out sucks, you'll be struggling due to lack of resources. A sidequest, briefly available after restoring Obelisk, leads you to dueling the Big Five as part of a stage performance. If you visit Italy after Canada's been made available to you, you'll get to rematch Jean-Claude Magnum, who has a better deck than the first time. In this same time frame, you can also find Tea worrying about fortune-telling, and have to fend off Johnny Steps and Crump back-to-back.

Optional Boss / int_291e9857	comment	Dark Souls: Dark Souls: The Stray Demon can only be encountered by returning to the Undead Asylum, and going back there is not only a completely optional challenge, but even finding out how to get back there is not an easy thing to do. Fighting it is worthwhile, however, as it is the only enemy guaranteed to drop a rare Titanite Slab, an item needed to reach the final upgrade of any standard or lightning weapon. Both Hydra Mini-Bosses are this. The one encountered in Darkroot Basin can be easily ignored, especially given how much of pain it can be to fight if the player doesn't have the Rusted Iron Ring, and the only reason the player would ever need to confront it is that killing it grants access to the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, which is also optional. The one encountered in Ash Lake is also this by virtue of the fact that Ash Lake itself is a completely optional area. The Moonlight Butterfly is found in an area of the Darkroot Garden that's very out of the way in terms of exploration. Beating it earns the player the Divine Ember, which is needed to create divine weapons, and the Watchtower Basement Key, though this item is rendered moot if the player has the Master Key. The Great Felines Mini-Boss can be found on one of the paths to the Darkroot Garden, but because players are more likely to enter the forest through the seal gate, and there's a much faster path than either one of these anyway, it's entirely possible to never encounter them. The fact that they don't drop nor guard any loot also discourages the idea of fighting them. Dark Sun Gwyndolin is an entirely skippable encounter that many players can easily miss, due to him hiding behind an illusionary wall that can only be passed by either wearing the Darkmoon Seance Ring or by killing the illusionary Gwynevere. Crossbreed Priscilla can only be found in the optional Painted World of Ariamis, and even then does not need to be fought in order to complete the level due to only turning hostile if the player attacks her first. Because the Artorias of the Abyss DLC does not need to be completed to finish the game, all 4 of the boss fights found in it are completely optional. Among them, however, Black Dragon Kalameet is this even in the context of the DLC. He's the only boss the player doesn't have to fight in order to complete the DLC's main story, encountering him requires the player go out of their way to do so, and it's impossible to properly fight him until the player talks to Gough, who himself can be hard to reach. Dark Souls II: The Belfry Gargoyles don't need to be fought, appearing in the optional Belfry Luna area. However, beating them does make the fight against the Lost Sinner easier, as beating them earns the player the key needed to unlock a room with a torch that can be used to light up the Lost Sinner's boss room. While Vendrick must be encountered in order to progress the game's story, actually fighting him is completely optional. Not helping matters is that it's next to impossible to damage him without first gathering the Souls of a Giant, which are scattered around the world, with one of them being guarded by another optional boss. The Ancient Dragon does not need to be fought to progress the game, and it will only attack if the player provokes it anyway. Beating it nets the player a Soul of a Giant, which does make the fight against Vendrick easier, though that fight is optional as well anyway. The Darklurker is one of the most easily missed bosses in the series. Not only is fighting it not required to beat the game, but actually getting to it is a challenge, as it can only be found in an area that can only be accessed by joining the obscure Pilgrims of Dark covenant. Beating it will complete the player's progression in said covenant. Because The Lost Crowns DLC trilogy does not need to be completed to finish the game, all 9 of the boss fights found in them are completely optional. Among them, Crown of the Sunken King's Afflicted Graverobber, Ancient Soldier Varg, and Cerah the Old Explorer, Crown of the Old Iron King's Sir Alonne and the DLC's version of the Smelter Demon, and Crown of the Burnt Ivory King's Lud and Zallen, the King's Pets are this even in the context of their respective DLCs. All of them are encountered in secret areas of their respective DLCs, and none of them need to be beaten to complete the DLCs' stories. Dark Souls III: The Curse-rotted Greatwood does not need to be beaten to travel to the next area, and the Giant Archer's greatarrows can end up discouraging the player from trying to reach the Curse-rotted Greatwood anyway. However, beating it earns the player the Transposing Kiln, which is needed to turn boss souls into weapons, equipment, and spells. The Stray Demon Mini-Boss does not need to be fought to progress through Faron Keep, as it is only found in a very out of the way location in the area. The Old Demon King is very easy to miss, as reaching the area he's found in requires cutting down the bridge in the Catacombs of Carthus. And since the game encourages the player to steer clear of the bridge and find another route, it's entirely possible to go through the game without even knowing of the area's existence. Oceiros, the Consumed King can only be encountered by taking a detour before reaching Lothric Castle, and killing him is not required to progress the main plot. However, beating him does grant the player access to Archdragon Peak and the Untended Graves. Champion Gundyr is found in the optional Untended Graves area, which itself can only be accessed by beating the optional boss fight against Oceiros. However, beating him is necessary to getting the "End of Fire" ending, as an item needed to achieve that ending, the Fire Keeper's Eyes, can only be found in an area blocked off by him. Because the game's DLCs do not need to be completed to finish the game, all 6 of the boss fights found in them are completely optional.

Optional Boss / int_295048d5	comment	Bloodborne: The first boss most players will encounter, the Cleric Beast, is not actually blocking progress to anything. However, killing it will get you the Sword Hunter Badge, which unlocks several useful items from the Messengers, including a key item that turns the Blood-Starved Beast into a Skippable Boss. Henryk the Old Hunter can only be encountered if the player decides to progress Eileen the Crow's quest line, as he will never appear otherwise. The Afflicted Beggar Mini-Boss can be encountered at either the Forbidden Woods or the Cathedral Ward, but does not actually have to be fought in order to progress. Beating him does net the player a powerful Beast Rune, however. The Witches of Hemwick do not need to be fought in order to progress the story, though beating them does grant the player access to Caryll Runes. Martyr Logarius is found in a very secluded area in the Forsaken Cainhurst Castle, which in of itself is an optional area that requires a special item to access. The Celestial Emissary is an optional encounter that only needs to be beaten to encounter Ebrietas, who herself is also optional. Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos doesn't need to be fought to progress the story, only being required to unlock more Chalice Dungeons. Darkbeast Paarl is a boss encountered in Yahar'gul at any point after reaching the area, but does not actually need to fought to progress. Amygdala does not need to be fought to progress the story, and the only reason the player would ever need to fight them is to unlock the Ailing Loran Chalice Dungeon. Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen is only encountered within the deepest of the game's optional Pthumerian Chalice Dungeons.

Optional Boss / int_2dfb1427	comment	The Baldur's Gate series: Most of the dragons in the game are also optional fights, though they give some good rewards after being slain. There's also an optional (and completely story-irrelevant) fight against a demon knight at the bottom of Durlag's Tower. The Twisted Rune is an order of evil spellcasters who, when you enter their lair, assume that you've come to foil their plans and attack you. They're sensibly skeptical if you claim to have found them by accident, because the only way that would happen is if you were wandering around a bad part of town while carrying an incredibly rare and valuable type of gemstone and opening doors at random. (This is in likely exactly what happened, unless you looked at a guide. The clues that would lead you to them were never put into the game.) Kangaxx the demilich is a hidden quest that you can undergo as early as in chapter 2, but for most players it would be much wiser to postpone the deadly skull. The Watcher's Keep is an extra content with a series of dungeons ending in the possible confrontation with Demogorgon. Since you can seal the demon forever rather than undergo a very difficult battle, this is a trope within a trope, in that it is a skippable optional boss.

Optional Boss / int_30065ab	comment	Cuphead: Performing specific actions against certain bosses heavily alters the fight, usually skipping or cutting short a phase of the fight - at the cost of adding additional enemies in later phases. The DLC adds a secret boss, found by interacting with specific tombstones, and then examining the strange light while having the Broken Relic charm. Defeating the boss "upgrades" the charm into the Cursed Relic, which turns you into a One-Hit-Point Wonder and forces you to use random weapons. Defeating enough bosses (a maximum of 8 and minimum of 4) with the Cursed Relic equipped turns it into the Divine Relic, which gives you the positive effects of every charm you own at the same time and lets you switch freely between all of your weapons.

Optional Boss / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring: Most bosses are actually optional, for whatever reason. The Shardbearers are the main storyline bosses, but there are six of them and you only need two of the Great Runes they hold. So if you want a quick game, you could just fight Godrick the Grafted and Renalla before heading off to Leyendell, but it's totally possible to go for Mohg instead if you're feeling masochistic. In fact, out of all the Elden Ring bosses, the only absolutely necessary ones are whichever Shardbearers you choose, Godfrey's golden shade, Morgott, the Fire Giant, the Godskin Duo, Maliketh, Godfrey (the real one this time), and then the final boss. All others can be skipped, though their rewards are generally useful. All field bosses can be avoided simply by never entering their aggro range. Some also won't spawn outside of certain conditions (the Bell-Bearing Hunter only spawns at night, for example). Any enemy past a fog gate, aside from the mandatory ones mentioned above, can be skipped if the player doesn't want to enter their arena. All Evergaol enemies are locked away in extradimensional prisons and can't do anything to you unless you seek them out. All of the dragon bosses are avoidable simply by avoiding their territories. Dragonlord Placidusax won't even attack you in his boss arena until you get too close, and Fortissax is a Route Boss for Fia's sidequest. Both the Ancestor Spirits are bosses of optional areas. The Astel fights won't even appear unless you defeat Radahn, who can also be skipped.

For instance, there are thirteen Espers, but only five are necessary to proceed with the story, which means you have to seek the other eight on your own volition. Non-Esper optional bosses include Earth Tyrant, King Bomb, Gilgamesh, Phoenix, Shadowseer, Hell Wyrm, Yiazmat, and Omega Mark XII. While you face Ba'Gamnan early in the story, he can be fought again much later in a sidequest, where he is much stronger.

They're not really harder than the compulsory aces. On the other hand, there is a more traditional one in Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War: Mobius One and his Raptor are encountered in an Ace difficulty run of The Gauntlet if you do well enough. Similarly are Scarface One and ZOE Commander in a certain mission in Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception.

Optional Boss / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King introduced optional bosses in some of the regular dungeons that are only accessible on Heroic difficulty. However, the WotLK optional bosses tend to be much easier than the Final Boss of their respective dungeons. The Bug trio, Viscidus, and Ouro were all optional bosses in Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. Most, if not all guilds, did the Bug trio because the fight wasn't very difficult and it rewarded good loot. Viscidus is a fight that many guilds skipped because, even at level 80, it's still a pain in the ass. To defeat Viscidus, he must be frozen; naturally, he can only be frozen by Frost-based attacks, such as Mages' Frostbolt or Shamans' Frost Shock. Once Viscidus is frozen, then everyone in the raid must melee him (yes, even the healers need to). If melee'd enough times, he will shatter. All while attempting to freeze and shatter Viscidus, the raid must survive near-constant AoE Poison damage. Ouro is a fight that most Alliance guilds would skip in favor of C'Thun because A) he offered better loot and B) killing C'Thun at 60 was a significant achievement for raiding guilds. (Horde guilds would run him over due to Poison Cleansing Totem.)

He's not very hard, though, seeing as how proper use of Melio Scutum and any slashing Glyph would easily reduce his 6000+ HP down to nothing. Though this boss is interesting in the fact that when he dies, a seal is placed on his face, but if you break it off with an attack, he comes back to life, allowing you to fight him again as many times as you want. Not worth the attribute points though (30, 60, or 120).

Optional Boss / int_5bd9e7b7	comment	Dark Souls II: The Belfry Gargoyles don't need to be fought, appearing in the optional Belfry Luna area. However, beating them does make the fight against the Lost Sinner easier, as beating them earns the player the key needed to unlock a room with a torch that can be used to light up the Lost Sinner's boss room. While Vendrick must be encountered in order to progress the game's story, actually fighting him is completely optional. Not helping matters is that it's next to impossible to damage him without first gathering the Souls of a Giant, which are scattered around the world, with one of them being guarded by another optional boss. The Ancient Dragon does not need to be fought to progress the game, and it will only attack if the player provokes it anyway. Beating it nets the player a Soul of a Giant, which does make the fight against Vendrick easier, though that fight is optional as well anyway. The Darklurker is one of the most easily missed bosses in the series. Not only is fighting it not required to beat the game, but actually getting to it is a challenge, as it can only be found in an area that can only be accessed by joining the obscure Pilgrims of Dark covenant. Beating it will complete the player's progression in said covenant. Because The Lost Crowns DLC trilogy does not need to be completed to finish the game, all 9 of the boss fights found in them are completely optional. Among them, Crown of the Sunken King's Afflicted Graverobber, Ancient Soldier Varg, and Cerah the Old Explorer, Crown of the Old Iron King's Sir Alonne and the DLC's version of the Smelter Demon, and Crown of the Burnt Ivory King's Lud and Zallen, the King's Pets are this even in the context of their respective DLCs. All of them are encountered in secret areas of their respective DLCs, and none of them need to be beaten to complete the DLCs' stories.

Though this one is not overleved, it stands out because the quests that lead to it can be lost forever, the battle is under a tune only reserved for a few select Hopeless Boss Fights, and the boss is one of the NPCs involved in the sidequest chain: Bana, the Nopon Kingpin. Xenoblade Chronicles X: Neilnail Albus and Neilnail Furvus, a pair of Skells fought in the 'Twin Dolls of Mystery' Time Attack mission, were originally supposed to be a story boss, but that plot thread was scrapped. They're still present in the game to be fought optionally, because defeating them yields unique items necessary to craft Level 60 Skells, among them the powerful Ares 90. Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Consul X only appears in one cutscene of the main story, however, she can only be fought if the player goes through Eunie's Ascension Quest, where she is fought together with another boss. If this question was not completed, then the segment where the party finds and kills her in The Very Definitely Final Dungeon gets replaced by a minor fight with generic grunts.

It can be encountered as early as Chapter 1 during digging sessions if the player is unlucky, but to actually fight it in a proper battle, the player must complete a long sidequest first, one that begins in Chapter 3 and can only be concluded in Chapter 5.

The boss lives in Monstro Town. Mokura, a green cloud miniboss that may appear in Land's End or Belome's Temple, dodges the player unless they track the boss down, and has two forms. The game's Superboss: the Final Fantasy Shout-Out Culex, a powerful magic-using entity from another dimension who attacks using four elemental crystals and is harder than the game's Final Boss.

Most bosses have to be fought as part of the game, but some can only be encountered by following the right events (or even sequences of events) that only become available at certain points and lock again afterwards (hence the zigzag—there is no 'default' way through most of these sections, so whether you encounter them or not is just down to where you looked when you had the chance). This includes battles with the SILENT in the minds of Honoka, Sakai, and even Mint the ghost cat.

Only one of these was particularly difficult. The others required very specific strategies rather than a high-leveled party to defeat, making them closer to Puzzle Bosses than anything else. This was fitting, as the battles were intended to be tests of your skill. Final Fantasy VIII: The Brothers are optional bosses, as are the Jumbo Cactaur, Odin, Tonberry King and Bahamut. Final Fantasy X-2: The Experiment, a Machina the Machine Faction in Djose Temple are working on throughout the game, which can be upgraded with parts the player obtains from digging in the Bikanel Desert. It is completely optional, and you only have to fight it for two points in the 100% Completion: the Djose Temple Episode Complete, and the Annihilator Blue Bullet. Angra Mainyu, a gigantic snake-like Fiend slumbering in the Bikanel Desert. It can be encountered as early as Chapter 1 during digging sessions if the player is unlucky, but to actually fight it in a proper battle, the player must complete a long sidequest first, one that begins in Chapter 3 and can only be concluded in Chapter 5. Final Fantasy XII has lots of these, as part of an assortment of sidequests which many argue form 75% of the game's content. For instance, there are thirteen Espers, but only five are necessary to proceed with the story, which means you have to seek the other eight on your own volition. Non-Esper optional bosses include Earth Tyrant, King Bomb, Gilgamesh, Phoenix, Shadowseer, Hell Wyrm, Yiazmat, and Omega Mark XII. While you face Ba'Gamnan early in the story, he can be fought again much later in a sidequest, where he is much stronger.

Kaiba has no patience for this but lets you challenge her instead. However, because you've just started and your deck flat-out sucks, you'll be struggling due to lack of resources. A sidequest, briefly available after restoring Obelisk, leads you to dueling the Big Five as part of a stage performance. If you visit Italy after Canada's been made available to you, you'll get to rematch Jean-Claude Magnum, who has a better deck than the first time. In this same time frame, you can also find Tea worrying about fortune-telling, and have to fend off Johnny Steps and Crump back-to-back. In Yu-Gi-Oh!

To do so, you must be a member of the Slifer dorm, and have defeated Jaden, Syrus, Chumley and Banner three times each.

Several of them simply stand in the main map and can be challenged at any time (though doing so until the player has leveled up enough is not advised). DEO waits in the mountains, using The World against players who try to beat him and complete Dopey'snote a renamed Doppio side quest in the process. Joenote a young Jotaro Kujo from Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders can be found outside the Naples train station. Fighting him is necessary to finish a side quest from DEO (who stands nearby). Joe Kujoenote an older Jotaro Kujo from Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Stone Ocean stands in the ocean near the Colosseum in the main map. He puts up a particularly strong fight, boasting an evolved form of his original Stand and having a hefty amount of HP, but he sometimes drops an item necessary to get one of the game's most powerful Stands. Heaven Ascension DEO is the climax of Joe's own side quest, only achievable after gathering every part of the Saint's Corpse. Defeating the boss and his extraordinarily powerful Stand will rarely reward you with an item crucial to upgrading one of two Stands available to the player—either turning The Universe into The Universe Over Heaven (a copy of the boss's Stand) or G-Moon into The Way to Heaven (along with Joe's Disc).

Optional Boss / int_b38f03d6	comment	The Denpa Men: The first game has two optional bosses. One mid-game dungeon appears to have two bosses—a Water-type Golem and an Ice-type Golem. The Ice-type Golem is more difficult to get to, and is the true boss of the dungeon. The Water-type Golem, however, gives you a few extra goodies if you beat it. At the very end of the game, you can also choose to fight The True King, the final form of the King of Evil. He has his own Rare Random Drop, and each time you defeat him, he drops an emblem that can be sold for a tidy sum of money. The sequel has even more optional bosses than the first, most of whom are based around chess pieces. Each of the four Caves of Darkness contains a different variation on the Knight, and each one is progressively more difficult—especially because the Caves are timed, and even though you can keep battling if you run out of time, if you do, you'll be kicked out of the dungeon before you can collect your rewards for completing it. There's also a Pawn who you have one required fight against early on—but he keeps getting stronger and stronger throughout the game, and you can return to challenge him after different story events. The last two sets are linked—the "big" Bonus Dungeon ends with a fight against the Demon Queen, who serves as a combination of this and a True Final Boss. This unlocks the Bishop, King, and Queen, who fight you back to back in a Call-Back to the original game's final boss.

Eventually, the voices will attempt to lead him away from where he's supposed to be going. If he decides to continue following them, despite being warned not to do so, he will end up finding himself face to face with a Khraosis Entity known as Dimula. Considering that the only other Khraosis Entity he fights in the game is the True Final Boss, he's in for a difficult fight.

When you first fight it, it's about the size of a Raiden or a Belgdor, and its color is the opposite color of your mech. If you continue against it, it changes to a miniature toy-sized version that is colored purple, and its armor weakens severely (so much so that a close range attack from Apharmd will kill it instantly), and if you continue again, it can be killed in 3 hits by Temjin's Beam Rifle! In the Japan-only PS2 version, if you beat all 8 virtuaroids in under 30 seconds, you will hear a special chime and fight the original Fei-Yen instead of Z-Gradt. This version of Fei-Yen is always in Hyper Mode, but its armor is not weakened and its attacks are more powerful than the regular Fei-Yen.

In fact, the Wild ARMs games have many bonus bosses, often found sealed in crystals found throughout the game. Ragu o Ragula is neatly incorporated into all of these titles as the sleeping demon who is fated to destroy Filgaia, centuries after the conflict-of-the-day is finished off. Big extra credit for overachieving heroes. The other bonus bosses can range from Call-Back characters, characters who are no longer a part of the main plot and have been more-or-less forgotten by the main cast, and nudie mags

Optional Boss / int_fab472d2	comment	Dark Souls: The Stray Demon can only be encountered by returning to the Undead Asylum, and going back there is not only a completely optional challenge, but even finding out how to get back there is not an easy thing to do. Fighting it is worthwhile, however, as it is the only enemy guaranteed to drop a rare Titanite Slab, an item needed to reach the final upgrade of any standard or lightning weapon. Both Hydra Mini-Bosses are this. The one encountered in Darkroot Basin can be easily ignored, especially given how much of pain it can be to fight if the player doesn't have the Rusted Iron Ring, and the only reason the player would ever need to confront it is that killing it grants access to the Artorias of the Abyss DLC, which is also optional. The one encountered in Ash Lake is also this by virtue of the fact that Ash Lake itself is a completely optional area. The Moonlight Butterfly is found in an area of the Darkroot Garden that's very out of the way in terms of exploration. Beating it earns the player the Divine Ember, which is needed to create divine weapons, and the Watchtower Basement Key, though this item is rendered moot if the player has the Master Key. The Great Felines Mini-Boss can be found on one of the paths to the Darkroot Garden, but because players are more likely to enter the forest through the seal gate, and there's a much faster path than either one of these anyway, it's entirely possible to never encounter them. The fact that they don't drop nor guard any loot also discourages the idea of fighting them. Dark Sun Gwyndolin is an entirely skippable encounter that many players can easily miss, due to him hiding behind an illusionary wall that can only be passed by either wearing the Darkmoon Seance Ring or by killing the illusionary Gwynevere. Crossbreed Priscilla can only be found in the optional Painted World of Ariamis, and even then does not need to be fought in order to complete the level due to only turning hostile if the player attacks her first. Because the Artorias of the Abyss DLC does not need to be completed to finish the game, all 4 of the boss fights found in it are completely optional. Among them, however, Black Dragon Kalameet is this even in the context of the DLC. He's the only boss the player doesn't have to fight in order to complete the DLC's main story, encountering him requires the player go out of their way to do so, and it's impossible to properly fight him until the player talks to Gough, who himself can be hard to reach.
