Heat Up Mechanic
"Boss Heat Up in Dark Souls The Board Game is covered on this page. In the video game bosses often have a 'heat up' or 'berserk' timer, usually triggered as they reach a specific amount of damage (down to 50% of their health as an example). This will tend to make the boss more aggressive and see new moves appear in the move set which will punish you if you get caught out by them. In the board game the same thing is present, once the 'heat up' criteria is met, an extra card is added to the Boss AI deck and the deck is shuffled."

You get a sense that the boss just became more difficult (harder, faster, stronger)
