    Only tiers I really disagree with here are S and F.

    Ebrietas belongs in B
    Laurence belongs in A at the absolute highest, due to his second phase. I would personally put him in C.
    Gank battles are bad, but Micolash is worse, so I would swap Rom and Micolash.

    Otherwise, solid tier list.

      Yea, I’m not sure what’s up with Laurence in S. Laurence’s theme may actually be one of my favourites off the OST and I have a rad t-shirt with Laurence engulfed in flames on it, but the fight itself was miserable. I was lucky enough to two-try it, but I’ve heard from others that they’d bang their heads against this unfun fight, sometimes dropping the DLC altogether just because of Laurence. Really kind of a shame. The atmosphere is stellar, at least.

      Ebrietas on my very first run was super easy to the point where I didn’t even see all her moves in her second phase but got my ass handed by her in my BL4 SO hard, it almost made me ragequit lol. That charge is so hard to dodge. The rest of the fight, the mood, the music was pretty good, though.

      Agree on ganks. But I’d argue that Shadows may very well be one of the best fights in the game. The constant back and forth, the micro-managing of the individual Shadows… Rom was super hard at first but got really easy once I knew what to do. Miles ahead of Micolash, though, I agree. :D

    Micolash is by far the worst one in my book. On my first playthrough I kinda got lost and didn’t find him for quite some time, he’s got the worst gimmick across all From Software bosses I’ve encountered. He’s not hard, he’s not fun, he’s just annoying. He isn’t even the most dangerous enemy in his boss ‘room’. Rom is fun in comparison. Hell, Dark Soul’s Bed of Chaos is a better gimmick fight.

      I agree, dude. The whole ordeal is a joke, the fight is annoying as frick, especially so in my BL4 run, and it’s just not engaging at all. However, his voice acting is phenomenal. It’s just really iconic.
