This MCU Star Quit Dark Souls 3 After Getting Humbled by The Nameless King

Even the most fearsome characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe aren’t immune to the challenge Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Dark Souls 3 poses. One of these is Ben Mendelsohn, the actor behind the Skrull leader Talos in Captain Marvel and Secret Invasion. He recently revealed that he rage-quit the infamously difficult RPG after being absolutely destroyed by one of its most formidable bosses.

For those wondering what boss could have stopped the Skrull leader? Well, the answer is the Nameless King. He is widely regarded as one of the most difficult bosses not just in Dark Souls 3, but in FromSoftware’s entire catalog. Stepping into the arena, players face a two-phase battle involving some of the fastest, hardest-hitting combos in the series.

In recent times, more celebrities than ever have been coming out as big-time gaming nerds, and there is nothing the community would be happier about. However, while Megan Fox might have managed to become a pro in Mortal Kombat, we can’t really say the same for Ben Mendelsohn and Dark Souls 3.

, Mendelsohn reveals his adventure into the world of Dark Souls 3, which is known for putting in bosses that would absolutely bite and tear you to pieces if allowed.

Ironically, the actor fails to recall the name of the Nameless King and gives a detailed account of what the boss was like, mentioning lightning strikes and someone who is “riding up on something,” referring to the boss’s iconic dragon.

He further mentions how this was the one boss he was never able to get over, and he just grew fatigued over time after making endless attempts to defeat the (optional) boss. This incident adds one more name to the list of quitters in front of Hidetaka Miyazaki’s damned difficulty levels, and it’s a big one this time around.

How Dark Souls 3’s difficulty is iconic rather than a flaw

Mendelsohn’s reaction is hardly unique. The Souls genre is known for being too difficult, with the immense challenge perfectly blending in with the storyline. Miyazaki’s games, like Elden Ring and the Dark Souls trilogy, have claimed countless players who couldn’t withstand the punishing nature of the level designs.

While many consider the difficulty of a game like Dark Souls 3 a flaw, it is actually the very essence of its legacy. The game is less of a punisher and more of a teacher, demanding patience and precision over rushed actions that would cause the elimination of the player.

Ben Mendelsohn’s battle with the Nameless King is a hilarious reminder that no one, not even Skrull generals, is safe from the punishing bosses that Dark Souls 3 has to offer. Funnily enough, if the actor happens to try out the upcoming Elden Ring Nightreign, he will probably have a bit of PTSD, thanks to the iconic boss making a return as one of the Nightlords in the game.
