Chad, my king…I’ve been waiting since I found your channel for this video and when I saw this upload I audibly exclaimed “YES” keep going boss. It’s awesome to see how your videos and you have changed and grown throughout the years
I love your videos and I'm happy to finally be able to comment on one at the release ! I think this is the first time that I agree so much with a ranking of this game's bosses. I just want to say that the Dragonslayer Armor is so mutch underrated in my opinion, I find its moveset just perfect, everything is incredibly satisfying to dodge, and like Lorian and Gael, it feels like dancing when you master it. But obviously Gael is unbeatable ! Aside from Isshin maybe, I don't see any boss in the entire series that can compare to him.
You didn't mention it but champion gundyr is one of the only bosses that can juggle you in the air with his knock up followed by kick. The only other bosses that come to mind is soul of cinder's 2 phase combo and Promised Consort.
I felt the same overcoming feeling about nameless king that you do about pontiff. Pontiff with summons is a murder-fest, and solo he is a challenge, but not half the challenge, nor the memorable spectacle that nameless is personally. A clear #3 in my own book.
To date I still think ds3 has the highest overall boss quality in the series. Champ gundyr, soc, friede, gael, yhorm, twin princes, Dragonslayer armor, wne midir are all genuinely fucking fantastic and i dont think any other fs game comes nearly as close to the good boss consistency of 3
You can actually summon Patches to help you fight Halflight and with him the fight for me was enjoyable after all for having many guys fight along each other, like in Elden Ring for me that is a 3/5 bossfight, without him the fight sucks, I admit it
Guess I never really noticed just how many gank or multi target bosses there are in dark souls 3 and counting all fight that have at least two separate fighters/targets bet ten out of 31 or 32% over a third
