As Benjamin Franklin once observed, in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except for death and taxes. With April 15th bearing down on those of us in the US, the taxes part is coming. And, thanks to our friends at Bandai-Namco, death is riding shotgun in the form of Dark Souls 3!
Now, we understand taxes can be a bit, uh, taxing, but to ease your stress we’re offering everyone the chance of winning a copy of Dark Souls 3 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One or Steam!
HOW TO ENTER
To enter, simply let us know who your favorite (or least favorite, or hardest) boss from the Dark Souls games is in the comments section below. Please include your console choice (XB1, PS4 or Steam) along with your @Twitter handle as well.

My least favorite boss is a toss up between Ornstein and Smough and The Duke’s Dear Freja. Both were extremely frustrating for me in their respective games.

Dragon Slayer Ornstein & Executioner Smough Was my least favorite fight. Not that I found it overly hard just their drops depend on who you kill last. So that made it a pain going for trophies.
