Every Dark Souls 3 Boss Ranked! 

let me know which bosses are in your s tier in the comments!

actually, aldritch's music is a reference to gwyndolin from dark souls 1, a similar deal with the plin plin plon, since aldritch literally ate gwyndolin and merged his body with his, and uses most of his attacks

You put into words very well how I feel about the Twin Princes. Such a great boss fight. I felt "meh" about it when progressing, but playing as Spear of the Church has been the most fun I've had in the Souls series so far.

My 3 favorite bosses are Midir, Gael and Friede.

Glad someone appreciates the twin princes as much as I do. Good vid!

I LOVE oceiros' dialogue!! Absolutely mystifying, it really inspired me when I first had it. Makes a C tier fight an A tier for me :))

I do think the point of Soul of Cinder is that it lacks character. In a sense, it's the First Flame gaining consciousness after so many lords refused to link it. It's desparate to survive, which is why it attempts to use the power of the previous souls that linked it. You could see it as life trying to imitate art without knowing what made that art so special, and that to me is what the character of the Soul of Cinder represents. It wants to survive, but it doesn't know the first thing about actually living because it spent it's entire existence at the Kiln of the First Flame. At least that's my perspective of it

also, the baby in oceiros' hands is invisible, not edited out, the baby being a crossbreed of dragons and gods he has that ability, like Priscilla

soul of cinder phase 2 is worth an A tier and the realisation that it adopts Gwyns moveset and theme is a masterclass of fan service without pushing it overboard. Phase 1 feels like a pvp fight to me though.

I would put Yhorm in S tier and i don't care what anyone says, he's so cool it's insane and Siegward's quest is the cherry on top

I'd like to see you dedicate a video to how you'd design your perfect boss.

Regardless of what tier each boss is there is one thing common to all. They are all very memorible whether it is for the design, lore or attack pattern learning curve or the overall difficulty. If all of the souls community were to come together I am pretty sure everyone of us will have something to say or a story to tell about what they thought about the boss or how they mastered it or merely made it out alive. This is something I didn't feel as strongly about the Elden Ring bosses. The bosses in this game are absolutely the highlight (and half the reason for them to exist is Bloodborne.)

Finally someone who understands the dancer pain.. she absolutely annihilated me.. easy S for me at this point, I love everything about it. Old Demon King appreciation Yeey, honestly underrated Boss solid B :D I literally started playing the series because of the "Curse rotted greatwood" and I like dodging its attacks (besides the poison), so uuhh I quite like the boss (design and music are also great imo) Twin Princes are just peak. Soul of Cinder is just a peak boss, second favorite in main game, I love all 4 phases, I love no hitting him and SL1 fighting him, the music and arena is perfection, its just a perfect end to the series. Demon Prince is probably my 4th favorite boss in the game, superb gank phase 1 (A bit too tanky on low dmg runs) but that is nothing compared to one of the best phases ever, the 2nd phase. Music goes completely insano, all the moves from the demon prince are so fun to dodge (both versions of it) its just SO good. Halflight is Bottom 10 in the series, maybe "top" 5 worst, atrocious in every way Gael is just a boss that's it's hard to explain, ofc I always remember it being peak, but playing it is truly one of the most special experiences you can get in gaming, highest S possible and easily top 10 ever (which at this point is high af praise) Anyway, great video keep it up! :D

I 100% agree with your tier list except Midir, I can of course admit that he's an amazing dragon fight iv'e just personally never been a fan of dragon fights across all of ds, id probably put Pontiff as an S tier as well but im biased 😭🙏

10:31 Parrying exists in a quantum state, simultaneously "too hard, only for experts" and "too easy, trivializes the boss." Can't it ever be a normal move where you push a normal button

When are more Er nohit videos coming out? I find them very entertaining and interesting to watch

In defense of halflight, yeah the npc encounter is pretty bad and genuinely cancerous on sl1, however the online version at the recommended level for ringed city is a fun pvp fight and the painting guardians and the spear fragment ability are there to seperate gank squads / give the invading spear an fair advantage since they can’t use their estus. Also Champion Gravetender is a better designed duo boss than any duo in Elden Ring.

I'm glad to see someone who also does not care for Cinder all that much. Thought I was going crazy when you see nothing but universal praise for him. His fight is great on paper, but in practise I never found his attacks fun to dodge. Many of his attacks with completely different timings just look completely the same, and his body is animated in this weird way, where mid combo, he goes into stance that looks pretty much identical to his idle animation only to throw a random follow up at you. I just don't see anything cool or memorable about his first phase. Just a lifeless "robot" with extremely generic swings and flashy sword. His phase 2 is much better, but then again, It's just slightly refined Gwyn's moveset. I always found it ridiculous people always put Cinder into S tier (and generally shit on Gwyn), when the best part about Cinder literally is Gwyn's moveset. I suppose it all comes down to most people playing DS3 first, and/or never learning to fight Gwyn without parry. There is also the fact that Cinder is arguably the weakest final boss in any souls game + sekiro narrative wise... I mean literally the only climactic part about him is the Gwyn throwback, which you have no way of recognizing from DS3 alone. And sure, I understand that there are some counterarguments to be made, but if you consider all the other final bosses, especially in DS1 and Sekiro (Bloodborne too depending on which final boss we consider), then Cinder just feels really weak in comparison.

Iedex gundyrr isn’t A tier lol, I honestly think you’re being way too generous with this ranking. S tier bosses Dancer Champion gundyrr NK Twin demon princes Geal A tier bosses Friede Lothric princes SoC Pontiff B tier Dragonslayer armour Abyss watchers Midir C tier Iedex gundyrr Vordtt Old demon king Yhorm F tier Deacons Wolnir Curse rotted greatwood Crystal sage And every human fight

Am i the only one that thinks midair is c teir

Halflight is annoying but PvP aspect is pure cancerous. I don't think From Soft has made a mandatory pvp centered boss which is fair. The Monk and Halflight both are bullshit but I still find the PVE fight much better than an actual player. Also Patches is available for summon and there is every reason to summon him. This is his last appearance in Dark Souls trilogy and Halflight's painting guardians are equally as stupid as Halflight himself.

IDK why you think you're not qualified to rank bosses...? It's a matter of opinion and the only qualification is that you've beaten them. I think different experiences will obviously impact a person's opinion. For example, I strongly agree with what you said about Cinder and for the same reasons.The community generally favors him highly but I think it's B tier at best and probably C. I disagree about Abyss Watchers and Aldrich though. The former I'd probably put in C tier as well, and that's mostly the cinematics doing the heavy lifting because the mechanics are pretty bad. It's just not interesting on repeat attempts for me. It's very easy, but also unengaging due to spending large amounts of time just running around (evidenced by your footage) it just doesn't have that rhythmic back and forth. Aldrich I'd put in F, I loathe this encounter, I hate the arrow attack and how RNG it can be (he usually won't do it if you stick close to him but sometimes he just does it anyway) I hate the little floating projectiles, I hate how his melee attacks are poorly telegraphed and he often clips into walls when doing them. Honestly, Aldrich is just a way worse version of Elden Beast imo... Old Demon King I'd have in D tier. He's just so underwhelming. I melted him hitless SL1 first try after not playing the game for years. This boss desperately needed some kind of get off me mechanic similar to Godrick because you can literally just stand in front of him and dumpster him and he can do nothing to stop you. For me Champion Gundyr and Dancer are easy S tier fights. Champ does such a good job at being an extremely difficult boss being made easier through parries which most players still find satisfying to pull off. You are spot on about Oscieros imo, I'd put him on F as well. Half-light is the worst boss in the game and possibly the series. It's just irredeemably and offensively terrible. Fromsoft plz stop making these types of encounters! Gideon is equally bad and if not for being able to easily cheese him while he's yapping might even be worse than Half-light. Also, Midir is much better than Placi imo. I said too much already and I could keep going. I just love discussing these bosses. I'll stop there though sorry for being annoying.

abyss watchers needed an s....
