Glad someone loves the twin demon princes as much as I do. Best gank boss ever. Criminally underrated

I finally completed Sekiro, today. My first soulsborne game ever.

always love these ranking/list videos, keep up the good work

shadows of yharnam is probably my favorite triple boss fight after sisters of battle from hollow knight (one of the best bosses ever to date imo, best triple fight)

Throne watcher and throne defender: you didn't have to cut me off

I used to despise Gank Bosses when I was first starting out my Souls adventures, but now they've become some of my favorites. Ornstein and Smough are by far my favorite DS1 boss, and Twin Princes (If you count them) are my favorite DSIII boss. I don't even mind Godskin Duo, as long as I bring my own Spirit Ashes to make it a 2v2

You forgot the Nox monk and Nox swordstress. Its a fun boss but unless you go there very early they dont have a lot of hp.

Really like the new format - very clean

7:31 HAHAAHAHAAAAAAAA I’m goooone, pinwheel is a gank but you’d never know it 😂😂😂

No double pursuers? Thank god for that. Those two have scarred me more than any grab hitbox in DS2

Another amazing upload from soulsmojo!

I remember the first time I played DarkSouls 1. I didn't know how common the weapon upgrade materials would be so I was hoarding them and just had a bunch of +1 weapons. And my buddy told me Resistance was the most important stat. So I had like 7 levels in that and was underleveled everywhere else I was stuck on Gargs like they were Melania lol. I didn't have the DPS, the Stamina, nor the HP to beat them. They 2 shot me and I could only do like 2 or 3 things before being out of stamina. It was a nightmare.

"I don't think it's that fun, but it's definitely S for sure". It's okay to let the nostalgic fights slide down the list a bit as new entries do them better.

The valiant gargoyles would be better of that poison attack never happened

Love your videos

Another great video!

Hot take: O&S is the most overrated fight in souls history. Maybe my problem is that I played ER and DS3 before DS1, but my God, that fight is so clunky, the arena is way too small for the two of them, and the whole "one is fast, one is slow" thing is pretty much an illusion. It takes like 2 seconds for Smough to catch up with Ornstein and for the life of me I could never space them out in any useful way. I hate gank fights overall but Demon Prince is way better. I ended up summoning Solaire and felt like that was the perfect way to deal with the fight.

I remember banging my head on the controller for 4 hour when i was stuck at double gargoyles.

Yippee another Ember video 😊

Man forgot about the Skeleton Lords from DS2

From the bosses I have faced... S: Demon Prince, Twin Princes, Abyss Watchers A: Ornstein & Smough, Bell Gargoyles B: Ruin Sentinels, Four Kings C: Fia's Champions D: Gravetender & Greatwolf, Prowling Magus & Congregation, Crystallian Trio F: Royal Rat Authority, Erdtree Burial Watchdog (Impaler's Catacombs), Headless Ape, Valiant Gargoyles

It’s hard to see in the images but that image wasn’t Thorne watched and defender, it was twin dragonriders

Never any love for Valiant Gargoyles haha. I actually really like that one

Don't forget the ultimate suprise gank of witches of hemwick lmao

Let’s go, I’ve been waiting 🙃

All are perfect, double the bosses equals double the quality

There's twin crucible knights in the hero dungeon by Leyndell

Looks like he left out Sister Friede and Ariandel. Also, the twin crucible knights and probably several others from Elden Ring. I think Friede is one of the few good gank fights in the series and I actually like the crucible knights when I fight them by parrying. Personally, I think almost all gank fights are F or D tier, including O&S, which is a fight I only like for the spectacle. I think gank fights pretty much always have poor rhythm and tedious pacing, and very few of them have enough redeeming qualities for me to actually consider them good.

Dude thank you! Ruin Sentinels is a super underrated fight! Ds2 gargoyles sould make C tier purely for the prank factor tho

I missed Friede in the Tier List

Forgot quite a few on here, didn't see the deacons or congregation, Skelton lords and some others

So I guess I’m not the only one who’s also creeped out by those Watchdogs lol.

I think old ranking videos were less difficulty biased. Easy or hard doesnt make a boss better or worse.

You missed... you missed the big rat and the small rat from dark souls 2😭 (and 60 bosses from elden ring but we don't care xd)

I was expecting the Crucible Knight Duo from elden ring

i miss this guy

Skeleton Lords A Tier

S: Abyss Watchers, Bell Gargoyles, Demon In Pain & Demon From Below, Ornstein & Smough A: Four Kings, Shadows of Yharnam, Twin Princes B: Ruin Sentinels, Throne Watcher and Defender C: Headless Ape Duo, Godskin Duo, Maneater Duo, The Witch of Hemwick D: Crucible Knight & Misbegotten Warrior, Dragonrider Duo, Tree Sentinel Duo F: Belfry Gargoyles, Crystalian Trio, Fia's Champions, Gank Squad, Gravetender & Greatwolf, Lud & Zallen, Prowling Magus & Congregation, Watchdog Duo OTHERS: B: Demi-Human Chief Squad C: Crucible Knight Duo, Merciless Watchers & Chieftain D: Cleanrot Knight Duo, Crystalian Duo, Folding Screen Monkeys, Omenkiller & Miranda F: Beastman of Faram Azula Duo, Kindred of Rot Duo, Perfumer Tricia & Misbegotten Warrior

I wish Shadows were in S. Perfectly complimentary fight

Where do you stream at?

I'd probably give Dual Gargoyles a d just because of that stone column on the middle of the arena. They might still be bad but at least you have a way of breaking aggro. LOOKING AT YOU DUAL APE.

Everyone says the witches are so easy, but I don't think they've had the mad ones glitch and RUN after them the entire time. Made the fight a lot harder.

7:30 lol

please do one on mob bosses aswell

Thoughts on Ordovis and Tree fella?

there are many more gangs in elden ring like the NOX duo or blackblade assassins or those boat skeletons and all that?

Shout out to that one guy in chat losing his shit for Twin Dragonriders being mistaken for Throne Watcher and Defender

Double Pursuers was fun tho!

I liked when John gank made the great gank and ganked all over the place

Elden Ring nerfed most ganks so that fighting them solo will have most of the members be passive. I've been playing the game on RL1, so I have some opinions. The nerf makes the rotten crystalian trio a pushover. Crudible Knight and Misbegotten works great, I wish I was able to experience it pre-nerf. The warrior has low enough passive poise that you can stun him easily with strong attacks, and the crucible knight can be parried for the i-frames. The watchdog duo can be easily destroyed by throwing crystal darts at one of them, making them turn on each other. Fia's Champions are lore-wise supposed to suck, as they were able to do jack shit for Fia in contrast to the player character. However on RL1 they were brutal and I definitely got more out of the fight there. It was cool seeing all of the different player builds which were cycled into the fight, and it being different every time upped the challenge and kept it interesting. Godskin Duo I haven't gotten to yet on RL1. I've heard that the increased poise damage two handed weapons now have can make the fight go more smoothly, but I bet it'll end up being the worst fight in the game (unless Fire Giant sucks more). Mainly because of the Noble having some BS attacks, though the fight does let you focus down on the Apostle and minimize the time fatty is in phase 2. Crucible Knight Duo (when utilizing buckler parry) was a great fight, A tier. Parrying Ordovis's Vortex right at the end of its long windup animation is so satisfying, as is chaining parries between the knights. Their aggro is very well designed, because unlike the duo fights that got nerfed, it feels like the two are standing side by side just waiting for you to attack as opposed to sitting around like idiots. Valiant Gargoyles I actually have to upgrade from F to C. I wanted to hate it, but upon sinking in a number of hours learning the fight and beating them I have to retract my ire. I think they patched the poison mist to be more readable on the ground, and playing on RL1 means you thoroughly learn their movesets which makes the duo segment more manageable. Also I learned that they were weak to strike damage, so I used a Heavy Great Stars+12 with magic grease. Definitely lock off a lot during the duo segment to keep track of both. Imo their biggest flaw is that the second one comes in at full health instead of half health, so during the duo segment you have to get the first one to be on you while trying to ignore the twinblade one. If they worked like the DS1 fight then you'd be more engaged in the duo segment because they'd both be worth attacking, and ironically you'd end up spending more time fighting them as a duo. As it stands, once you finish off the first one the fight is really over, you just have one to two minutes of tearing through Mr. Twinblade.

What about the crucible knight duo?

You forgot the crucible duo

No Crucible Knight duos? Axe and Tree?

I agree with everyone except for Godskin Duo and Shadows of Yharnam. They should both be higher up.

I've got to go with Ruin Sents: D Bell Gargoyles DS2: F Four Kings: B That tiger fucker: F Erdtree Cat: C Misbgetton crucible: D Throne Watcher: B Godskins Duo: D Gank squad: F Twin Princess: S Champions Sif clone: D Shadows: B Apes: F Demon Prince: SS (my favourite) Abyss watchers: S Con: F O&S: S Crystal guys: D Man-eaters: C Bell Gargoyle DS1 - B Twin dragonriders: - F Witches: D Duo tree sentinel: C Fia champions: C Twin gargoyles: D

The godskin duo is my honey

it took me a whole month to beat ornstein and smough💀

you forgot the Virgins from Volcano Mnaor in ER. Cool list btw

O&S being above F is crime

Forgot a lot of bosses from Ds2 tbh. Skeleton lords, Executioners chariot (it is a gank if there are multiple hostile entities right 😅), royal rat authority and vanguard, looking glass knight with the npc summon, Elana the squalid queen. Idk video was fun to watch but it sure wasn't 100% complete. A part two would be nice

W ember, bro actually did a video of the idea i gave him😭

How did bro put throne watcher and defender above D

Soulsborne gank boss ranking 🤯🤯

I don’t like having the principal video in such a little space, it takes me off the immersion Besides that, great video

Those werent the throne watcher and defender, lmao it was twin dragonriders

Champions Gravetender should be A just because of the music

Godskin Duo is F period. Individually they're great. Together they're awful because they don't compliment each other. Two hyper aggressive tanky enemies with little to no way to split them up that do massive damage from all ranges is obnoxious.

You forgot the living failures and celestial emissary from bloodborne - think you got everything else though!

2:44 you say Throne Watcher and Defender, picture is Double Dragonrider lol

Currently doing an SL1 playthrough of DS3, I've beaten every boss in the game besides The Ringed City DLC (stuck on Demons) I've died a lot to them, yet every death feels deserved, it really is a perfect gank boss. Even when levelled they are challenging but very fair, Abyss watchers is pretty hit or miss in my opinion, Friede and Ariandel isn't that hard, just frustrating. What about Champions Graventender + Greatwolf? I personally fucking hate that boss especially after beating them at SL1 😂

I like Ruin Sentinels and Shadows of Yharnam

I enjoyed the ape gank way more than anyone else it seems And Hemwick is by far my least favorite boss that I've fought

You forgot emissary and living failures

Demon princes are arguably the best fight in the game, if not the series.

Btw you missed friede phase 2, idk if pinwheel is considered a gank fight, but if it is you missed it too. Also halflight is kind of a gank.😊

Sister Friede and her father? nameless king?

Unpopular opinion: Duo Ape bossfight is fun

I'm on my second playthrough of Dark Souls 1 and I personally think O&S are pretty overrated. Ornstein's charge attack is unpredictable and often just doesn't work in a fair way. Ornstein can attack you, staggering you and then Smough can just take out the rest of your health before you can move, OR it knocks you down and then Ornstein attacks you again, killing you. Smough takes way more damage than Ornstein, so it makes sense to go for him, but you can't see ornstein through Smough, but Ornstein can attack you through him. Smough's hammer charging attack I really don't like, because if I roll back it hits me, if I roll forward it feels like a 50/50 chance, if I roll left or right, it hits me. When this fight works properly, it's solid, but that just isn't the case a decent amount of the time

for fia's champions i'd say DO IT WITH ONLY BOW

If they remake dark souls 2 and actually name gank squad “gank squad” straight up S

Throne watcher and defender in A? Next to shadows of yarhnam? Bruh

But where’s the Crucible Knight Duo….?

How you miss Fride 😢

you never told me you did it on a live! you never told me! how dare you leave Ember Jr. out of it!

Double Pumpkin bosses from Elden?

Yo finally

What about Sister Friede and Father Ariandel?

crucible knights duo ?

Another one not listed is duo crucible knights and I swear they are pro Lu top 3 hardest boss in Elden ring

missing sister friede and father ariandel

Out of all the ganks I tolerated the one I absolutely hate with every fiber of my being is the foreskin duo

Really nobody mentions my fav (or lats say lessest bad) duo fight in ER, and that's the crucible duo :(

First comment here Love ur content bro You also inspired me ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Why not mob bosses? Did they not have the makings of a varsity athlete?

Am I the only one that thinks the belfry gargoyles are better than the OG? It’s way harder without a bow or magic imo

A for Throne watcher and defender...this was the Boss which made me say DS2 is the biggest mistake I have ever played before the dlc. I would question your choices if Lorian and Lothric wouldn't have been in S

I disagree with like 80% of this list. Still a good video. I liked the guy in chat spamming THOSE ARE TWIN DRAGONRIDERS IN A

Man 4 kings at C and under man eaters?
