Evidence for this record
Sources: darksouls.wikidot.com · darksouls.fandom.com
- Secondary source: A cross-check source, kept apart from the primary page.
7 fields in this record are marked not documented: the sources checked gave no value, so none is guessed.
Note: The source (wikidot) lists 2,353 per king and 9,412 total at NG, and separately 9,504 “in the shared health bar”, a gap the page does not explain. It also says each king’s HP is less than a quarter of the boss total. The record keeps the sourced per-king and total values.
