Same goes for Bloodborne
TheDark Soulstrilogy isso full of memorable bossesthat it’s tricky to pin down the best of the best without feeling guilty about snubbing worthy contenders. I mean, the runners-up list alone would put other games to shame. Manus, Father of the Abyss, is pretty high up there for me. His intimidating appearance is backed up by hard-hitting aggression, a one-two punch that fries my nerves.
Fighting Manus in a shroud of darkness was such a fitting end to the excellentArtorias of the Abyss, and I’m thrilled the expansion has gotten more love thanks to its inclusion inDark Souls Remastered. But enough reminiscing. You’re here to see a wicked cool boss immortalized as a custom-made statue.

Manus is just the latest in a line of handmade boss sculptures fromOwlburger. I love that sinister toothy grin and the detailing on his spiky coat. He’d look wonderful in aDark Soulscollection.

Owlburger has also tried their hand at recreating bosses fromBloodborneto similarly great effect. Ebrietas and Vicar Amelia are among my favorites, but there’smuch more on the creator’s DeviantArt.

I’ve been looking for an excuse to cover their work, and Manus was my golden ticket. I’m a fan!
