During a recent IGN interview about his work on new Star Wars projects, the Australian actor made an unexpected confession that instantly stirred up the gaming community. Between discussions about film projects, Mendelsohn revealed his passion for video games, particularly for the hardcore RPGs of the Souls series. However, his gaming journey wasn't exactly smooth.

The actor shared that he initially got into Dark Souls using IGN guides, but ultimately had to abandon his playthrough of DS3 after numerous unsuccessful attempts to defeat one of the franchise's most infamous bosses.

And then I got stuck on this boss who throws lightning and rides some kind of beast—gamers will know what I'm talking about. Dark Souls 3 or Demon’s Souls, I can’t remember now. He just kept throwing his stuff at me, kept flying around on that creature, and I just got tired of it and quit.

Fans of Dark Souls 3 immediately guessed who he was referring to—the Nameless King, a hidden enemy only accessible under specific conditions. This boss is rightfully considered one of the toughest in the entire series: lightning-fast attacks, a multi-phase battle, and intimidating design make him a true test even for series veterans.

Though the actor didn’t manage to defeat this legendary foe, he earned genuine respect from the gaming community—both for his persistence and his honesty with the audience.
