Do bosses scale to your level in Dark Souls?

Question

Do bosses in Dark Souls scale to your level?

For example, fighting a certain boss at level 20 would be the same difficulty as fighting that same boss at level 50.

No, nothing scales to your level in Dark Souls.

For example, you can see the stats for the Taurus Demon here. It's HP is fixed - ie. not related to your own level.

Enemies do become stronger in New Game+ and beyond, but the increase in strength is not related to the player's level.

Enemies will probably increase in stats/difficulty in New Game+ and subsequent playthroughs though. – YellowMegaMan Oct 26 '11 at 02:48

Both answer and comment are correct. Enemies do not scale with soul level but they do become stronger with every subsequent new game + reached with the same character. – Ravekner Jul 31 '13 at 19:09
What does "in New Game+" mean? – Dronz Jan 02 '15 at 01:33

@Dronz: New Game+ is a general gaming concept that many games, particularly JRPGs, implement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Game_Plus. In Dark Souls, each new game+ playthrough becomes more difficult. – YellowMegaMan Jan 04 '15 at 22:34

This is a direct contradiction to the accepted answer. Do you have any sources for your claim? – Mage Xy Jul 11 '17 at 15:13

If your stats are high, you pretty much one-shot everything in the first area. – Wondercricket Jul 11 '17 at 15:14
