Dark Souls 2 has the most bosses of any Souls game — 41 in total. But how many do you REALLY need to beat to finish the game? In this video, we break down the minimum boss count in a casual playthrough… and then take it further using speedrunning skips and tricks. Some are intended. Others are definitely not. So how many bosses are actually mandatory? It's probably fewer than you thought. Special thanks to rythin, Cadarev and Fnzzy for their valuable feedback before publishing, as well as Stennis, who helped me understand parrywalks several years ago at this point, lmao.
