The Best and Worst Boss in Every Souls Game [COMMUNITY VOTED] 

Most of the 7 percent who voted "Best Boss" for King Allant probably just got him confused with Old King Allant

One of my favourite bosses and my choice for second most underrated boss after the demon princes is Lothric and Lorian, I don't disagree with Gael being better but I feel like they should be considered by more people.

I actually really like Moon Presence. It's not the most difficult or thrilling boss mechanically, but I just love the mystery it's steeped in along with the design and presentation. Watching it eerily descend from the moon for the first time was an awesome experience to me

My favourite boss moment ever was reaching Sister Friede's third phase. I had only played DS1 and DS2 before DS3, so from my knowledge she was the first ever third phase boss fight. Thinking I'd won the fight after beating Friede and Ariandel with barely any VGR left and no Estus only to watch her rise up with the Blackflame effect was surreal.

Another fight i think deserves to be mentioned is the demon prince from ds3: phase 1 has you change your approach based on how many demons are currently in fire phase, which is very unique and in phase 2 you are constantly trying to prevent the prince from making distance so you need to be really aggressive. I’m convinced if you don’t do this fight solo you are really missing out, more than other duo fights. EDIT: wording

As much as I love Sir Alonne and Fume Knight, fav for DS2 has to be Ivory King. Even the setup before the fight is an astounding spectacle and a sheer joy (for me personally) to get through

For DS3, I'd like to mention Midir, who is my pick for favorite dragon fight in the series, and Champion Gundyr, who was the boss I had the most trouble with in my first run of DS3. Yes, even Nameless King caused me less consternation than Gundyrs hockey check and Sparta kick. And I loved every minute of it. That said, I do think I agree with Gael for best. He feels like a proper capstone for Dark Souls boss design.

I think the main problem with godskin duo is that you *have* to have sleep or some other gimmick/cheese for them to feel like a fair fight. they're also just two bosses that don't synergize well, shoved into a room barely bigger than a dungeon boss arena, both of wich you've likely battled before multiple times already. if they where just replaced with another boss entirely, i think more people would look forward to ferum.

I beat Gael on my first try, but I also went ultra instinct that fight. I used all my Estus while Gael was still on his first phase and things were looking rough, but all of a sudden its like i remembered all my past souls experiences, went ultra instinct and didn't get hit again for the rest of the fight.

I love gael, but the soul of cinder is definitely my favorite of all time. As the final boss of the franchise (at least how he should be fought imo), he just stands for more. He is the culmination of everything, throughout all of your souls playthroughs, and everyone else's

I used King Alante to delevel me so i could matchmake online players since i was slightly overleveled when I got to him

I’m surprised the abyss watchers fight wasn’t mentioned- the music themeing asrhetic and internal struggle just made for a super memorable fight

Curserotten Greatwood gets a lot of hate but it serves as such a perfect boss for Undead Settlement. Annoying to hit the weak zones though And I do like the community vote videos! Nice to see other player's sometimes odd choices for what they consider best and worst. Not that hearing your opinions is bad, but the variety is nice

THANK GOD people have finally stopped shiting on fire giant

One tip to dodge call beyond, stays in a medium distance to your enemy, and dodges towards your enemy only when the white projectiles starts moving, works for me every time

sword saint isshin is so excellent. i had to step away from the game for a few months after i finally got to isshin. when i came back i devoted myself to just learning that one fight. when i won i immediately started a replay of the game. sekiro is so phenomenal

*DeS:* Flamelurker *DS:* Artorias with Orenstein and Smough just behind. *DS2:* Forever Alonne *DS3:* Sister Friede *Bloodborne:* Ludwig, with Maria right behind. *Sekiro:* Sword Saint Ishin *Elden Ring:* Godfrey, with a close second between Melania and Radahn.

i am surprised that maliketh wasnt even mentioned in the top 3, his moveset is just so graceful

Sister Frieda is my all time favorite boss, I cannot believe she was almost the most hated. That’s kinda funny.

DS3 has one glaring problem… too many good bosses that it takes a long time to choose who my favorite is

Amazing content and great inside hints and tricks. Loving it JK Leeds

You're not alone in despising One Reborn. Figuring out how to do it without taking damage was and infuriating experience. And if I were to pick bosses for this topic, hmm.. maybe these: Demon's Souls Best - False King Allant Worst - Dragon God Dark Souls Best - Manus Worst - Bed of Chaos Dark Souls 2 Best - Fume Knight Worst - Ancient Dragon or Lud & Zullen Bloodborne Best - Orphan of Kos Worst - Cursed Depth 5 Loran Darkbeast on vanilla PS4 (The framerate can get worse than Ordina in Elden Ring) Dark Souls 3 Best - Gael Worst - Ancient Wyvern (Trying to no damage Deacons is far worse, but that is a self-imposed challenge) Sekiro Best - Inner Father Worst - Double Apes Elden Ring Best - Malenia Worst - Gargoyle Duo on NG+7, but if we're discussing NG maybe Fire Giant

No mention of covetous demon as worst boss is kinda surprising. Although I gett he never left a strong enough impression

I’ve watched basically every video on your channel, now! Thanks for the amazing content, and although I can’t do much more than subscribe, I hope for more to come! Lastly, congrats on being a father!

I definitely agree with Valiant Gargoyles being worse than Godskin duo. Duo is bad, but Gargoyles are just the worst, there's no competition to me.

My favorite boss is gaping dragon. It's pretty simple fight but I love it's intro cutscene, and it has such a cool design.

Dark Souls 1: Favourite: Manus Worst: Bed of Chaos Dark Souls 2: Favourite: Sir Alonne Worst: Royal Rat Authority Dark Souls 3: Favourite: Gael Worst: Friede Bloodborne: Favourite: Gehrman Worst: Rom Sekiro: Favourite: Owl (Father) Worst: Headless Ape Duo Elden Ring: Favourite: Mohg Worst: Malenia

Loving the Videos man! Keep it up

For me is DS3: Midir. Elden Ring: Maliketh. Also, I do like the elden beast (don't kill me). The arena is beatiful, as the music. And the design I find it very original. However, I think they should've let you use Torren for that fight. That way it'd be easier to chatch when it runs away and give more importance to the new riding mechanic and the frenzy flame ending

I liked it when he said “it’s Bloodborne time” and the bloodborned all over

Im still afraid of Ludwig, My first Experience was is Coop with 2 friends on ng+ Because of the coop i can say i learn NOTHING from that bossfight, he was able to hit me every single time i crossed the fog i was not able to dodge sh1t At all.. Idk i never had so many trouble with a bossfight Like that one

Not one mention of Malenia (blade of Miquella)? If there was one boss from Elden Ring to take with me, it would be Malenia. (Blade of Miquella).

I would’ve said Sinh for 2; hands down best From dragon fight even all these years later. I may even be so bold as to say the only good dragon fight.

I never understood why people hate Godskin Duo more than Valiant Gargoyles. Valiant Gargoyles are absolutely horrible without a summon, yet Godskin Duo is totally doable (even without sleep status).

Slightly off topic, but that bit about Dragon God is exactly what my biggest problem with the remake is. Sure, it may have had technical limitations at the time, but it doesn't anymore. Why is it the same fight on the PS5? There was a lot that they could have changed but they were way too faithful to the original. I think a lot of these make sense. Can't really be mad at anything that won any of these votes. Elden Ring being the most split makes sense to me too, I think almost every remembrance boss is phenomenal and worthy of being the top spot. I didn't think Sword Saint Isshin would run away with the win like that though, as I felt Owl (Father) is a very strong contender for best boss in Sekiro and even Genichiro as well. While it makes sense that Ancient Wyvern would be most people's least favorite boss in DS3, it's still better than like 70% of the bosses in the older games so that's kinda funny to me

All you need for Old King is the Thief Ring, Cloaking Spell and Poison Mist 😉

kind of surprised the burnt ivory king wasn’t mentioned as it’s pretty fucking cool to have the prefight and the fact they are left handed messes with muscle memory you built up from most of the game

Placidusax is my favourite Elden Ring boss. One of the most visually stunning fights in any FromSoft game, also has intriguing lore and has a great difficulty level.

Well done video, cheers from Germany 🎶✌

My list. (Havent played DeS and DS2 yet, so im not listing those here) DS1: Best: Artorias Worst: Bed of Chaos Bloodborne: Best Lady Maria Worst: Celestial Emissary DS3: Best: Sister Friede Worst: Curse Rotted Greatwood Sekiro: Best: Owl (Father) Worst: Headless Ape Gank Elden Ring: Best: Radagon (without Elden Beast) Worst: Gargoyle Duo

I can understand every vote here but my opinions would be a little different in some cases. For Dark Souls worst is obviously BoC so no surprise there I'm personally a Manus fan for best DS2 I agree on Gank Squad. My favorite though is Burnt Ivory King Bloodborne I'd say worst is Failures with best being Orphan of Kos DS3 I agree with Ancient Wyvern for worst but my favorite is Sister Fried Elden Ring we all Hate Godskin Duo though I enjoy Valiant Gargoyles. Best is Maliketh without a doubt. He's my favorite fight in the franchise.

It’s a great compliment that the two worst fights in Elden ring are still a lot of fun

I gotta agree about the dual Valiant Gargoyles. Don't know if I'd call them the worst but they were so annoying and not fun to fight at all. I think honestly they would receive more hate if they didn't have ways to be cheesed, like tricking them into going off the cliff.

Definitely my least favorite boss in elden ring that isn't a poorly designed duo fight is definitely red wolf of radagon, he doesn't have a lot of health but its nearly impossible and he has several attack combos that last longer than your roll I-frames

Before utilizing sleep, godskin duo felt impossible, with sleepp

My top 3 of FS games I've played (no playstation ;/): DS1: 1. Knight Artorias. 2. Manus 3. Kalameet DS2: 1. Burnt Ivory King. 2. Sinh. 3. Fume Knight DS3: 1. Slave Knight Gael. 2. Demon Prince. 3. Sister Friede with many other worth of 3rd spot. ER: 1. Starscourge Radahn. 2. Placidusaax. 3. Astel.

The thing i always note about dark souls 2 having "too many dudes in armour" as bosses is that dark souls 2 doesn't really have any kind of strong cursed entities running around or underlying curse, like in dark souls 1 there was the advent of demons and the abyss influencing the world, in dark souls 3 Aldrich is doing his whole goopy deep thing with the pontiff while demons are still hanging around just about, meanwhile dark souls 2 is just "there are undead", the demons are absent, there isn't any generally corrupting influence on Drangleic walking about with the only one that is there is content to sit on her arse and wait for you to do her job for her, 99% of dragons are content to live in the end game area and the war with the giants is done and over. You're literally fighting the last vestiges of a dead kingdom, no demon's, only one abyssal creature, not a peep of the deep and barely a dragon, just dude's in armour still lingering on the mistakes of men both ancient past and relevant present. (Not defending it, still a little lazy on some cases but something i always think about)

I was honestly kind of surprised about how people felt about the godskin duo because I did an arcane/faith first playthrough because one of the first items I got was the dragon communion seal, so by the time I got to that fight I was just able to kill them so quickly that I just assumed everyone had an easy time with it. I would definitely rate the gargoyles higher because they're way less susceptible to eider range of character builds.

Honestly the most satisfying win comes from Draconic Tree Sentinel

While im only at Dancer of the Boreal Valley, my least favourite boss so far was actually Aldrich. His teleporting just gets annoying and his arrow attack does way too much damage, lasts way too long and it generally feels like he was meant to be fought in a bigger arena, not to mention his fire bs which basically keeps you from getting close to him without getting damaged.

You don’t get the recognition you deserve, love your videos man

I agree with all of them but for ds3 I think the worst is Crystal Sage, just an annoying fight, you can get gang banged out of nowhere in the 2nd phase and at least wolnir and ancient wyvern are incredibly easy. Sage although easy can just kill you for no reason. Another one I disagree with is Sekiro best boss, I think Genichiro is the best in Sekiro although I can see why a lot of people like isshin. And then Elden Ring my favorite is Mohg, not even sure why, I guess I just like his moveset. Also Mohg's music is really good.

I like the Deacon of the deep they don't do much the music is nice and just seeing some random fat deacon fly by is funny plus going in their with Wolnirs holy sword was the most fun I've ever had.

Interesting. For Elden Ring I would have thought Malenia would be on top. As for the Godskin Duo I don't hate it. By the time you get to them you should be properly prepared and the arena is quite big. On the other side I absolutely loathe the Erdtree Burial Watchdog Duo fight. You can get there relatively early and it is just a shitshow. Similarly infuriating is the Crucible Knight Duo fight.

In elden ring I would vote Radagon as best if he would count separate from elden beast.

Burnt ivory king had to be number 3 or velstadt imagine howuch better they could make the BIK in a remake. He’s already epic but lacking some difficulty so if he and other DS2 bosses were changed to be like DS3 bosses they’d be some of the best

you should do a community ranking of best and worst area

Do more of these especially for areas

Where could you vote for this video? PS:Great Video.

You can avoid the headless ape's scream attack by using the umbrella.

In Elden Ring, my fav bosses were Mohg and Rykard, Tree Sentinel variants and Tree Spirit.

Rly nice list and i agree with most of it. Guess ppl's liking are kinda similar when it comes to best and worst.

In Bloodborne I hate Micolash and Rom. Micolash is easy with the auger and stun locking him, never have an issue but the other night I hopped down through the floor and as I landed, he just finished setting off a call to beyond and one shot me. I was pissed.

Any of the demi gods in elden (apart of rennala) could be the final boss of any other game. They are all amazing that's why so many people have different choices for the best boss

Ds1 Favourite boss: Manus Ds2 SOFTS: Dark Lurker Ds3: Probably Nameless Elden Ring: Astel, Natural born of the void

Dunno if this was just a slip-up, but regarding Allant's Soulsucker, you said 'if you die after he does this, those levels are gone for good', but it's the other way around. If you die, the sucked levels will be in your bloodstain to be reclaimed, but if he sucks your levels and then you win, they're gone for good. I voted Folding Screen Monkeys as worst, fine concept/idea, but bad execution imo / in my experience. I just walked around and killed the monkeys as I found them, not even realising there were these intended steps/strats. On repeat playthroughs, despite knowing what we're supposed to do, the encounter is still a janky chore. Ape duo ain't great but I enjoy it more than FSM. Seeing a couple 'Gargoyles worse than Godskin' comments. Imo Godskin is worse primarily due to being mandatory. The way they respawn with no indication as to why or what is happening (no snail or necromancer etc present) makes them feel lazily-made too. Anyway great vid :D No surprises really. Bed of Chaos, Ludwig and Godskin Duo match my picks.

radahn is honestly one of my least favourite bosses in any of the souls games, same with sir alonne. other than that the rest of these seem pretty spot on! i did expect covetous demon to be mentioned somewhere in worst bosses tho

i hate valiant gargoyles. they were the first harsh wall i met with my build. i was able to avoid hits with most bosses as a range character but they were so inevitable with gargoyles that i had to go grind out so to bug vigor or get one shot.

I mostly agreed with this list until elden ring. Malenia is the best boss, no question. As for worst, I agree with you about gargoyles. Godskin duo rewards you for using status, magic, and weapon arts. It’s only hard if you try to brute force your way through it like it’s dark souls 1. Plus, the music is so incredible and recognizable they used it instead of the title theme at the GOTY awards. Gargoyles have no weaknesses, there’s no cover, can’t be parried, immune to status, and spew poison every 2 seconds.

That thumbnail just pulled me in

Favourite boss from Elden Ring has to be Maliketh for me. Died to him 3 times when i was one swing away from victory, and never once did I get angry. That to me is a sign of an amazing boss. The Valiant Gargoyles and godskin duo on the other hand is the complete opposite.

You got the full results to the poll?

The hate for godskin duo is odd to me. I personally really like them I would argue it was the best duo boss in all of elden ring. What I liked about them was the game signaling to be that I wasn't ready for the challeneges ahead. I was very under level going into farum azula and I didn't even realize it until I hit them. I was stuck for awhile and had to come back to them only to be hit with significantly harder bosses afterwards. No way I was killing Malikith at level 70 on my first playthrough.

For me : demon souls: flamelurker/demon god Ds1 : Artorias/bed of chaos Ds2 : fume knight/sir alonne ds3 : nameless/crystal sage bloodborne : Gehrman/micolash elden ring : Radahn/valiant gargoyles sekiro : sword saint ishiin/genichoro on the rooftop.

I’m suprised 38% of people didn’t think bed of chaos was the worst boss in dark souls 1

Mostly agree with ds2 here. Fume knight was my favorite followed by sir alonne and darklurker. But I’m surprised gank squad won worst and with so many votes - I don’t think it took too long or was hard at all (solo). But I’ve only fought them once, so maybe I need to go through that part again. Royal rat gave me much more trouble because of those damn toxic minions

I think the most important thing to note about these kinds of votes is that the worst bosses in each of the souls games are similar to the poison swamps. Yes, we hate the swamps, but they're there to create a contrast, and I am confident that the games as a whole are better because of them and that they shouldn't be removed or (substantially) changed.

so glad I got the headless ape duo first try

Worst: DS, Dragon god, DS1, Bed of chaos, DS2, Alva reskin gank, DS3, Ancient wyvern, BB, most of the chalice dungeon bosses( haven't played Sekiro), ER, Godskin duo. Best: DS, Maiden Astrea, DS1, Nito, DS2, Ivory king, DS3, all except wyvern, BB, Lady Maria, ER, tied between Radagon, Rennala, Godfrey, Mohg and Mimic tear.

The Ancient Wyvern made me so angry, the run was so frustrating to me and then it felt like I was robbed with how there was no boss fight (ʘ‿ʘ✿)

The only boss that could match Bed of Chaos was Lud & Zallen; horrific run to the area, painful double boss and reused to boot.

I first-try killed many of the Elden Ring bosses, and so had a hard time enjoying half of them, as they weren't much of a challenge.

DS3: Best Gael/Worst Cursed Rotted GW. Bloodborne: Best Lady Maria or Gehrman/Worst: Micolash. Sekiro: Best Sword Saint Isshin/Worst: Divine Dragon. Elden Ring: Best Rykard was cool but SO MANY GREAT ONES/Worst Fire Giant before I figured out to fight him on Torrent.

listen, though I understand that the brawl in the beginning can be annoying, but Old Ivory King goes unimaginably hard

I feel like I’m the only one that like the ancient wyvern fight since it’s really cinematic while running through

god dammit I'm genuinely a little pissed radhan got best boss I think his fight is funny and the gimmick is cool but I don't personally find it that hard and I found other bosses way more memorable and interesting and challenging for me. Radhan is certainly up there as one of the best but I think certain obnoxious parts of this community are a little bit over obsessed with him. Then again I am very obsessed with Malenia and find her to be the best boss in elden ring due to her insane difficulty, the way she subverts rules of the soulsborne formula, her intimidating, beautiful, yet disgusting design, it all culminates in a fight I will always hold dear to my heart as I find these games at their best when it takes me over 100 attempts to kill a boss and I'm left with my heart pounding out of my chest when it's finally over. With Radhan I've never gotten that feeling, at most I got a big hearty laugh out of his design and the way he just dissappears midfight only to come back as the "woooo!" guy from sekiro. Woo guy walked so Radhan could -run- plummet towards the earth as a comet.

Sekiro is not my favorite game by Miyasaki but Ishin The Sword Saint is in my top three bosses in From games and probably in videogame history. That boss is absolutely amazing.

Surprised there's no love for malekith, one of the coolest designs in the entire series

Huh, I'm a bit surprised at the vote for Dark Souls 2's worst boss, because I feel like Royal Rat Authority is A LOT worse than the gank squad. Sure the latter takes a lot longer, but clever play and patience goes a long way here while the former often felt way too luck based for my like. Sometimes all the rats rushed me asap which was almost certainly a wipe while they also sometimes just waited and came at me one on one which made things A LOT easier.

I don't know I'm 50/50 between Radahn and Melania. Worst however would be the guardian guard dogs First time you fight one it's not too bad but it gets very annoying when you fight it again 5-7 times later in the same run through of a game.

From the games I HAVE beaten (Need to finish DS2 DLC and last beat Demon of Song): DS1 Worst: Capra Demon DS1 Best: Manus, Father of the Abyss DS3 Worst: Ancient Wyvern DS3 Best: Slave Knight Gael Sekiro Worst: Headless Ape Sekiro Best: Isshin, the Sword Saint

I mostly agree with all the ranks but I’d have put Orphan of Kos as the best Bloodborne boss. I feel like it’s the equivalent of Gael in DS3.

Certainly can’t argue with false king Allant. Set a great precedent for roughly player sized bosses being some of the best in the series. While my favourite in the game is Tower Knight, I can agree Allant is probably the best, as it’s ahead of its time. Nobody can really argue Dragon God isn’t the worst. Personally I don’t even think of it as a boss, just a little bit of extra running (and waiting) after Flamelurker. Would pick maneaters personally as the worst, as if you try to fight them honestly you’re in for a bad time. Not surprised to see Artorias as number one, I think I voted for him as well. Definitely the best fight in the game from a lore perspective and arguably mechanically as well. As for best base game boss O&S would definitely be the pick. Could be interesting at some point to separate base game and DLC for rankings, as the best bosses in these games tend to be DLC (Artorias, Alonne/Fume Knight, Ludwig/Lady Maria, Gael). Bed of bullshite is the worst in the whole series. Gotta love running a marathon through blinding lava and around dozens of enemies only to get knocked over by the boss and then pushed around like I’m an air hockey puck. Completely agree with these choices for DS1. DS2 was a tough choice for me, as I think Burnt Ivory King (my personal favourite), Fume Knight, and Sir Alonne are all deserving of the spot. I would give the edge to Fume Knight between the two of them, as he’s more iconic both in terms of difficulty as well as his weapon. I was a bit surprised to not see Lud and Zallen at the bottom as it combines two things souls players hate (reskins and ganks) but I suppose many players might not even know about the boss considering the preceding area. At least the big cats are sort of unique, more memorable than gank trio for sure. That would absolutely be my choice for worst; only redeeming part is the unique arena layout but even that’s pushing it due to the statues down below. I can’t remember who I chose for Bloodborne but based on previous tier lists I’ve made Lady Maria was probably my choice. Might be Ludwig was just a tad too frustrating in phase 1 and a tad too easy in phase 2 for my liking, but I’ll absolutely support him as the overall best. I think from a purely gameplay perspective I prefer Maria. Might also be that the moment it clicked with me that Bloodborne was a masterpiece was when her huge phase transition blood slash synced to the vocals in her OST. Learning about what her use of blood arts meant made that moment even more impactful in retrospect. My second favourite in the game is Martyr Logarius, and it’s a shame that I don’t hear anybody talk about him. I can’t remember if I voted for Shadows of Yharnam or the Witches for worst, but I don’t think either is particularly abhorrent. Bloodborne’s bosses are consistently solid with none standing out as horrible and a few rising above as amazing. Completely predicted Gael as first place, and he is my second favourite behind the Soul of cinder. Gael is better mechanically for sure, but SoC is pushed over because of the atmosphere, music, and lore. That phase transition is the best in the series with the flawless shift of the music; both your eyes and ears recognise the influence of Gwyn simultaneously, and that moment alone puts the fight over Gael for me. As for the worst, like dragon God I don’t think about Ancient Wyvern as a boss and that lets me enjoy it a bit more. My choice went to the pox-ridden greatwood, for making me waste time and embers every playthrough before deciding to come back at a higher level and with access to ranged attacks. How could Sekiro not have Sword Saint Isshin win? He’s top 3 in the whole series for me, and Owl Father isn’t too far behind. Two fast paced encounters with legendary figures that truly push your shinobi skills to the absolute limit. Their personalities show through their movesets as well: Isshin is relentless and a true master of combat, using three types of weapons seamlessly in combos with absurd hit counts, and Owl has all sorts of tricks up his sleeve like firecrackers, shuriken, mikiri counters, and even the mist feather to make sure he always has the upper hand. The headless ape fight sucks, first phase I enjoy but once the second shows up it’s either trivialised by spamming firecrackers or mortal draw, or it becomes the most unfair fight in the game if you’re out of resources. Even though I always use a speedrunning strategy, I rather like the monkeys and it’s a shame to see them low. My top choices for Elden Ring are Lichdragon Fortissax and Dragonlord Placidusax. Both have incredible atmospheres, soundtracks (especially Fortissax), and moves with amazing visuals. At first I questioned Elden Ring winning best art design at the game awards, but after thinking about these two fights I decided it was justified. What can I say, I’m a sucker for that red lightning. Radahn and Radagon are also right up there for me, and it’s far from a hot take but if Radagon were a solo fight he’d definitely be a top contender for more people. Godfrey I think is one of the most solid bosses in the game, as unlike with other bosses there’s really nothing I can think of that’s annoying or unfair. Not surprised for the Godskin Duo but I would 100% agree that the duo gargoyles are worse since they aren’t ever passive (like the Godskins can sometimes be) and can’t even be reasonably cheesed (like the Godskins can) since they’re immune to literally every status. Plus at least there’s the Godskin Apostle OST to enjoy during that fight. Fighting one gargoyle is horrible enough, two is just stupid. Overall I agreed with the rankings, and for the ones where I didn’t personally agree I can absolutely see why people feel the way they do and sometimes even agree that choice is objectively better/worse than my own. Thanks for another great video to end the year with, and thanks for your continued community engagement!

My picks for Best/Worst Bosses in each Souls game: 1. Demon's Souls: Flamelurker/Dragon god 2. Dark Souls I: Manus/Caeaseless Discharge 3. Dark Souls II: Fume Knight/Gank Squad 4. Bloodborne: Lady Maria/Paarl Beast 5. Dark Souls III: Sister Friede/Yhorm 6. Sekiro (Memories bosses): True Corrupted Monk/Folding Screen Monkeys Sekiro (mini bosses): O'Rin of the Water/Drunkard Juzou 7. Elden Ring (Remembrance bosses): Malenia the Severed/Fire Giant Elden Ring (other bosses and mini bosses): Crucible Knight/Valiant Gargoyles

Champion gundyr is the best boss in DS3 it’s such a fun fight I could play that boss fight all day long

I’d say my least favorite of Elden Ring has to be what you showed at the end, Astel, Natural Born of the Void. Ridiculous poise that almost never breaks for me, its odd body shape and constant movement making it harder to hit safely, plus those super wide range gravity attacks that are nigh impossible to avoid in most circumstances. Then to make it worse, it gets copy pasted with zero variation into a mine dungeon. Like, I normally defend the boss reuse of ER, but only because there tends to be a change. Like with the “Watchdogs” you get one with a sword, then one that’s magic, then one with imps, then both types together, each variation changes how you approach it. But Astel? Nah, just same boss again. At least with the smaller Star Beast it’s about facing it in a small space instead of open field

I like four kings bc the arena is cool I like fighting in just black with no sense of direction you just run at it also boss design is sick I honestly don’t care about the fight as much it’s pretty easy I just think it’s under appreciated as a cool boss fight

I'm pretty sure that the gank squad was supposed to be a parody of DS2's pvp meta.

Cant believe the smelter demon didn't make it. I haven't played the scholar of sin but original ds2 boss he be amasing

The worst boss in Elden Ring is the Bell Bearing Hunter in Caelid. He hits harder than every boss and will 2 shot any player. You are forced to either overlevel or cheese him.
