lol nice I was gonna say Maneater Mildred.

I'm going through dark souls right now and she just helped me kill the spider demon boss at the bottom of blighttown (after I fought her as an invader)

OI! It's Queelag! Don't bad mouth one of the few good chests in the Dark Souls series

Yeah, that as a mini boss is a bit "meh," but considering there's a maneater / butcher / etc. in all Dark Souls and even in Demon's Souls, I'd say she's famous enough. No idea if there's one in Bloodborne.

Conan said that, too. They were obviously wrong, and we all knew it.

DS might get the base game out on time, and if they're smart, they'll press the button to start tooling.

That's why I followed that statement with the part you failed to quote, which is that I doubt it and I've heard it all before.

Dude, I was agreeing with you...

When you leave the second part of my post out it makes it sound like you think I believe them.

Never mind then.

BAM!

Hello Unkindled,

You're getting through these Stretch Goals at an immense rate, it's a good thing too, as we have Stretch Goals up to £4,000,000. This time you've unlocked the Guardian Set.

You've almost finished off the Armour Sets now, just one more to go. Then, well I wonder what could be next?

Keep on sharing and increasing your pledges to get the Boss Expansion Add Ons, you'll also help push the total up and unlock more free stuff in the form of Stretch Goals. We've had some great discussion in the comments section today. Make sure you head over and say 'Hi' to the guys there.

Praise the Sun \[T]/

I'm particularly curious to see what gets unlocked after Mildred. My gut expects another mini-expansion like the Iron Keep one, but I wouldn't mind seeing a slew of new bosses. Of course, we might just get a set of extra behavior cards for Mildred....

**highlord tamburlaine**

I'm hoping for a slew of new mini- bosses, grunts, and boss.

We need more bosses in the core pledge.

I'm going to speculate on us getting Sif and Artorias included before all is done.

Agreed, we definitely need more things to kill/kill us in the base pledge! I know the fight wasn't hard, but I would love to see some High Lord Wolnir action. Pontiff would be pretty cool, but I imagine he wouldn't translate to the board game very well, especially not that God-awful second phase.

**Nostromodamus**

Wolnir would be... interesting... to see. Not sure how you'd pull that off in miniature form...

You probably wouldn't.

I generally like the weirder bosses, so I'm guessing the ones I want won't end up here. But please, for the love of God, no Bell Gargoyles. Those things haunt me.

We need a mini boss that's just a guy at the top of stairs who pushes a boulder at you.

ive been saying this for a long time.

a lot of stuff is cool and all that...

but it doesnt add to the game longevity.

If im going to dish over L100, id expected way more bosses and grunts.

As iti stands, im outo of the ks, if a see something lik 5-6 more bosses unlocked (not as addon), im all in, tho.

Well right now you'll get 10 bosses and 12 different types of grunts + Crystal Lizards and Mimics. I don't think that's too bad honestly, especially since we're not even halfway done.

**Squidsy22**

Oh god my money. I can hear it draining away now...

as far as i checked, we had 6 bosses in the pledge.

all others are paid addon.

And, no, IMO, 6 bosses wont do it fo over 100 bucks.

ande, yes, not that bad, since we have 15 more days. But things will slow down, and the "new cards, new sets, new barrels, no bosses" trend is kinda annoying for me

edit - just checked - 6 bosses.

**RoninXiC**

You can alsocount the mini bosses ...and dark souls should be already a tough game against the trash mobs.

I think atm with the current stretchgoals you get a good package. Lots of good looking minis, many reasons to play thegame couple of times + loads of possible expansions you can buy to expand it even more.

Actually I was wrong, it's 9 bosses - 5 standard and 4 mini-bosses (Ornstein & Smough are one encounter). Soon 5 mini-bosses when Mildred unlocks. The add-on bosses are all mega bosses if I'm not mistaken, of which there are none in the normal pledge.

**TheWaspinator**

Latest update looks like more mini-bosses incoming, which should help variety a lot. I hope some more full-bosses follow.

**ced1106**

Still 16 days to go. When there's 16 *hours* to go, sure, kvetch that there's not enough <whatever> in the pledge.

**TheWaspinator**

One idea I just had that would be awesome is: what if you could take player figures you're not currently using and use them as enemies?

It's listed as a "mini-boss", there's only one gargoyle, and there isn't a thousand of my character's corpse scattered on a rooftop around it with a distinct rage colored filter about it. Definitely not the Bell Gargoyles.

**Da Boss**

I am excited by this, but I keep looking at the 80 pound price tag and backing off.

I mostly want the cool bosses, and paying £80 and then the extra 28 per for Khalameet, Asylum Demon and Gaping Dragon is not super tempting...

**spiralingcadaver**

Yeah... really on the fence about it. I'm tempted to get the core for at least a nice chunk of fantasy models at a good price, but went in to Myth with the same idea and hated it so much that I sold it off rather than keep for other games.

**Da Boss**

I just finished Dark Souls 1 a couple of weeks ago and loved it to death. But £80 is pretty pricey all the same for what's in the box.

Still, it's not harming their success at all!

**Nostromodamus**

Currently 69 minis in there, several of which are large, plus more to come, plus terrain elements and a game. I don't find the price to be bad at all.

**MacMuckles**

I'm cancelling my pledge and just picking up Snorlax and Pikachu off ebay when the game gets released. I've had an off-feeling for awhile, but it's gotten to the point where I can't ignore it.

Yeah, same here. Imperial assault is around the same price here in Portugal and it has a lot less miniatures. But yeah, completely different styles considering IA is a big campaign with a lot of floor tiles.

Apparently, I need to be more careful with what I wish for, because while the next expansion goal is certainly a slew of new (mini) bosses....they're all invaders. Which I am....lukewarm on.

Pledge rate has slowed down significantly as well - we'll probably finish this box set, but I doubt we'll finish the next (and I honestly expect them to increase the gap between stretch goals once they hit that £2 million mark, too). Here's to hoping that the £2 million stretch goal is something extra awesome, because the stretch goal unlocks are getting awfully repetitive.
