Today, we're ranking each one of the souls games by FromSoftware from easiest to hardest. This includes Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. I wanted to rank each game by difficulty in my own opinion because they all have unique elements that set them apart from each other and cause separate kinds of difficulty.

Bloodborne was my first souls game. I died roughly 100 times in the first area till i finally started understanding how to play. I just wasn't used to playing games on which you had to dodge. After playing it, though, everything else related became not only easier, but lot more fun. It's still one of my most favoutite games, and i thank it for teaching me so much: mostly, to have a faster mind so i could learn enemies' attack patterns, and learn to notice enemies' movements with more ease and a lot quicker; helped me have a faster reaction time, even irl.

@acallbeyond432 Год назад

Bloodborne's difficulty stems from the fact that the rest of the dark souls games always put you in a passive position whilst this one expects you to do the exact opposite. Once you realize that you are the hunter and not the hunted you'll find out it's one of the easier soulsborne games

@idirbouchdoug1567 Год назад

same concept with sekiro. the hardest part is the initial adjestment. after that both games become much easier. while ds3 and even ds1 are the same they still retain more challenge after you have learbed them.

@hybrid5860 Год назад

I find blooborne to be one of the easiest, but that has definitely given me some bad habits for other games. Bloodborne wants you to be really aggressive with its rally system and faster combat speed, and that strategy is so ingrained in me that I always do that whenever I play another melee focused game. More often than not, it gets me killed cause I should have taken my time. But hey, I’m a hunter at heart

Most of them more or less let you pick your own difficulty. Elden Ring bosses are probably the hardest for a no hit/no summons/no levelling run but there are tons of tools available to make them significantly easier.

Having started from Bloodborne and Sekiro, I find the traditional dark souls games to be harder due to the lack of QoL there is. Slower healing, slower dodging, walls bounce back your attacks. I am astonished to hear players call the games I played the hardest, but it was the challenge of those games that made me be at my best. Whereas the entropy vibe in Dark Souls just ruined my will to git gut.

@Romapolitan Год назад

Blood Borne was for me always the easiest. I only needed 1-3 tries for every boss except Logarius (and the dlc but that was ng+). I see many people say that the more agressive games are the hardest but for me it's the opposite. The more agressive the game the easier it gets.

@StyryderX Год назад

Pretty much, one of the reason Soulborne game considered difficult because it flips the usual action game priority (defense + survival first over all-out aggression). Bloodborne also give you some crutch to go along with the offensive mindset (rally mechanic).

@mattevans1643 Год назад

Bloodborne is easy once you figure it out. If you want it to be hard use weapons that have very little stagger ability, completely changes the game. The parry system is easy, especially once you get the ability to heal from visceral attacks. I would say the hardest boss had to be Laurence from the DLC, with Ludwig coming in second. KOS was a joke, everyone that says he was hard never learned how to parry. As for main game, I would say Amygdala in the chalice dungeon, not in the Nightmare, or Rom in the Chalice dungeon. Only because for some reason in the chalice dungeon, Rom can get into an infinite loop where she spams the meteor attack, and there's nothing you can do except die to restart the fight, cause she also spawns spiders during this glitch. And Amygdala because unlike the Nightmare fight your stats are cut in half, and the Arena is much smaller which makes it incredibly hard to dodge his attacks.

@Romapolitan Год назад

@@mattevans1643 I have done all of that allready. In like 4 playthroughs. The dlc was ng+ the first time and that was pretty hard, especially Ludwig's first phase. I am not saying that it is bad or isn't challenging at all, I just found it easy (even chalice dungeons) at the time, because I have played all the others and it is just a playstyle that works for me

@@sigmundfreude4088 My first souls game I'm seriously playing through is Sekiro and I'm loving it so far. It's a really rhythm heavy game where deflects are everything but I love it, especially how subtle the cues are. I realized that the bigger the sparks during a deflect, the more accurate your timing was and the less deflects you have to land to get a death blow. And there's no levelling stats to worry about like in the other games where I worry about whether I'm building my character correctly or screwing myself over.

Yeah i would playthough any of them again. But i will never go through the chalice dungeons again. I did it for the platinum, there is nothing that could ever make me do that again.

Maybe I've just found an OP build - I'm using spear and shield, and upgrading endurance and strength, mainly. I was also able to really quickly upgrade my weapon to +8, so aside from the first area with Tower Knight, nothing has really given me any trouble. I beat Flamelurker or whatever his name is on the first try without any trouble, and just realized that he's apparently a difficult boss. I think I might just be overleveled. Elden Ring was hard for me, though!

Hay man, I'm glad you're enjoying them though I'd just like to let you know that most of the community that I've seen abbreviates demon's souls as DeS and dark souls one as DS. Just for a bit of future clarity
