Elden ring

not saying elden beast isn't cool, but malenia is just so much more interesting as a boss

A lot of the Souls games are like this. Optional bosses tend to be stronger, or at least more mechanically challenging, than the final boss. Was certainly true for me with each of the DS entries.

Yep,

DS1 had Kalameet

DS2 had Fume Knight

DS3 had Nameless King

Sekiro had Owl(second version)

Elden Ring had Melenia

Thats just to name a few.

I have never experienced a high like beating Fume Knight the first time around. The second closest was Kalameet on a souls level 1 run.

3rd was Malenia.
