Sister Friede was harder than Nameless King

Agree with most, but Sister Friede in DS3 and Demon of Hatred in Sekiro would be my pick.

"DS3: Nameless King" Sister Frieda would like to have a word with you.

I love that if you wear Velstadt's helm, Fume Knight immediately goes into his second stage 😮‍💨

pinwheel should be here

Good choices mate! Here's my thoughts: 01. Old King Allant: I think he's a good choice for the hardest in Demons Souls. The Maneaters are tough, but they have become more manageable with time. I think Flamelurker could have also taken the spot. 02. Manus, Father Of The Abyss: While an argument can be made for Artorias, Gwyn, and Kalameet, I think Manus just might be the hardest. For one thing, he has high resistance to almost everything. The arena is open, but deceptively smaller than you might think. With Manus's relentless aggression, it's easy to get backed into a wall. This is one where you really gotta learn his moveset in and out to know when your brief attack windows are available! Bring a katana for an easier time! 03. Fume Knight: Before I learned about upgrading the agility stat, I would have probably agreed with this guy being the hardest boss in DS2. He's up there for sure, but so are Sir Alonne, Aged Smelter Demon, Burnt Ivory King, and Lud And Zallen... 04. Orphan Of Kos: I have to agree. The sheer speed is insane! There's just so much happening at once with this bastards moveset, especially in phase two. I do think Ludwig and Laurence are good choices as well. There's actually several more if we count the...Chalice Dungeons...but who would do that? 05. The Nameless King: Once again, I agree. I've fought DS3's toughest multiple times. On my first couple of playthroughs I would have said any of the dlc bosses. Friede, Demon Prince, Midir, and Gael all gave me a massive headache! Not halfpint or Sif wannabe though. On repeat playthroughs I've only gotten better at managing all of these, but the Nameless King still manages to make me struggle! I think it has to do with the different timings of his attacks. They aren't as fluid as other bosses. Sometimes they're extremely delayed, and other times they're lightning fast. It also doesn't help that his damage output hits like a truck! 06. Isshin, The Sword Saint: Might as well be Isshin, I guess. Truth is, I struggled with almost all of the bosses in Sekiro. Couldn't seem to mentally switch over from Dark Souls and kept trying to fight like in those games. My top three has to go Isshin, Owl Father, and Demon Of Hatred. Especially Demon Of Hatred...cool boss, but holy crap it took me almost an entire day to gain a victory! That said, Isshin is the only boss in the game where I don't feel I managed a fair victory. I mean, I did, in the strictest sense. Yet, the fight devolved into me running around the arena, taking pot shots here and there when I could. Definitely not how it was meant to be done. Next time I play Sekito, I aim to git gud and master it! 07. Malenia, Goddess Of Rot: Ah, Malenia. I have raged and cursed over a many Souls boss since introducing myself to the series. Yet not nearly as much as I did with Malenia! Only in this case, I think Fromsoft actually went too far this time. She is one, of only two bosses in Souls history that I think are actually bullshite. The other being the Godskin Duo. It's the Water Fowl Dance... it's just ridiculous. It can insta kill a playrr with high vitality and requires multiple, frame perfect dodges to avoid. She can also perform it in a split second, allowing her to reach you all the way across the arena! Add in her ability to gain health after every successful attack, and the bullshite just grows. She even gets scarlet rot in the second phase! I still like the fight mind you, and her design in particular, but she is without a doubt the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the entire Souls series. Just not for fair reasons. Let's see if Shadow Of The Erdtree can top it!

my list: Demon Souls: Maneaters Dark Souls 1: Manus Dark Souls 2: Sir Alonne Bloodborne: Ludwig Dark Souls 3: Midir Sekiro: Demon of Hatred Elden Ring: Malenia

Mist Noble “you will cry while fighting this boss”

I just replayed Sekiro and finished it yesterday and it took me way more time to beat DoH than Isshin... Yes there s more to learn about Isshin's set but think about it, DoH forces you to forget everything you knew about combat up to that point, + giant health bar + constantly moving away.. i only played Elden Ring and Sekiro but seriously Demon of Hatred is hands down my hardest boss ever.

Maneaters over Allant for me. Allant had a very predicable pattern and was easy to dodge for me. Those 2 Maneaters, damn you never got the same fight twice lol

Amazing video MojoPlays 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

If you haven’t, do an Easiest Bosses in Every Souls Game.🤷🏽‍♂️

For me it was blight town right in the swamps on the Xbox 360. Those 10fps could kill you faster than the black bow knight snipers in anor Londo. Most of the time was because I would get invaded and they had the advantage

Tbh, the Maneaters were harder than Allant.

I've only played Dark Souls 3 & Elden Ring, Nameless King and Malenia sure gave me a run for my money

Ds1 - kalameet Ds2 - fumy boy Ds3 - Midir, died to that dragon more than all the other Bosses in all games combined BB - orphan Elden ring - Rykard, untill i found a new shiny spear.. Sekiro - met isshin, stopped playing..

For me it was in the Soul series but not the same ones like these. For me it was Emperor Strife from Soul Calibur 3. Hardest boss i've ever faced. It was literally a survival mode.

I played all of dark souls games. I can’t stop my hand shaking for a while after defeat sister Friede.

for the life of me i could not figure out black dragon kalameet from the abyss dlc. i lost to radagon and the elden beast as much or more than malenia. i tried sir alonne a few times before i stopped playing the game and just didn't want to learn his mechanics in the moment for some reason.

Midir hardest dragon in history of gaming ? Try to solo Fatalis

Wow, i agree with every single one, nice 👍🏾

Still can't figure out why people always vote for kosm to be the hardest boss, i always take like 2-3 tries to beat him, same for ludwig I vote for laurence to be the hardest, this mf has a crazy hp+damage no matter how high your level is

Agree with all except DS3. The argument there has always been between Midir and Friede and you didn't even mention her!

des - flamelurker ds1 - manus ds2 - fume knight or lud and zallen (runback ptsd) bloodborne - dont have the dlc so martyr or gehrman ds3 - nameless king sekiro - demon of hatred elden ring - havent finished yet

Pthumerian Descendant Ihyll Chalice on BL4 (no levelling up run) almost broke me 😂

Took me more than 200 tries to beat Malenia (solo, melee, no bells or ashes), but not even that can compare with the struggle to beat Isshin. By far the hardest boss i ever faced. I didn't play the Demon's Souls remake but in the og game the Maneaters are the most difficult bosses. Tower of Latria is a nightmare.

I will never understand why everyone always says Nameless King is the hardest DS3 boss. He has such basic attack patterns. Even Demon In Pain and Demon from Below is harder than this.

Is this including dlcs?

What about the ibis series cel 240 from armored core 6

"DS3: Nameless King" laughs in Dancer of boreal valley, Slave Knight Gael and Sister Friede

Demon Souls - Flamelurker Dark Souls 1 - Manus Father Of Abyss Dark Souls 2 - Darklurker Dark Souls 3 - Sister Friede Bloodborne - Ludwig Holy Blade Sekiro Shadow Die Twice - Demon Of Hatred Elden Ring - Melania Blade Of Miquella ( Probably some Shadow Of The Edtree Boss Going To Replace Her)

Where is Rick, Soldier of God?

The dual fight in elden ring is by far the hardest, then demon hatred sekiro

I can’t imagine what we’re in for in the Elden Ring DLC.

Lies of P - Nameless puppet

What is the shield from 1:58

Black Dragon Kalameet looking at this video like "such disrespect"

I didnt have a hard time with the orphan of kos, honestly. But then ya other bosses like the nameless king or malenia wipped me. Isshin is my fav. EPIC fight. Make a sekiro prequel starring him please!

I’d say the Penetrator was a harder boss fight than Old King Allant.

Nameless king isn't that hard because he's predictable, Friede is waaaay harder

I think he wanted to say "Inner Isshin" instead of Sword Saint Isshin.

The demon in pain and the demon from below and the dark eater Midir fights are probably my two favorite in the entire entire souls genre. I do like sister friede. She’s probably in the top three or five? The third souls game will always be my favorite.

I had a period where the OdK kept having me,

came here skeptical, saw malenia at number 1, skepticism was erased

I honestly didn’t find the nameless king that bad

Elden Ring: “the most difficult boss… so far”

kind of cheese Old King in Demon Souls with poison and kept my distance and use magic during his AoE wind-up. but Flamelurker is what got me with his aggressive move and i have to play defense with magic

Forget about Old King Allant, I'm lucky if I can survive two minutes against the Vanguard Demon

Burnt Ivory King and his posse would like to have a few words with you. Yes, the king himself may not be that bad. But its hard cause even with the three knights to help, you are guaranteed to lose most of your estus before him - praying the rng of their aggro doesnt turn on you (which was often) Its both my favorite yet otherwise fight in DS2 - legit I did like 100+ tries on it, nearly getting enough armor for the reward from the girl Mind you I was running Curved Dragon Greatsword w/fire weapon spell and had to parry EVERY. SINGLE. KNIGHT. To manage surviving but yeah

Midir would’ve been my pick for DS3. He’s able to dodge/attack at the same time like Artorias, hits as hard as the Fume Knight, and is as agile as Blackflame Friede.

I honestly think that Nameless King isn't thaaaat, he's a pretty fair (and fun) boss. The only ones who have really struggled with him are roll spammers since his attacks have some delays. I would put Sister Friede and Midir as the hardest bosses in DS3

Darkeater midir is by far the hardest boss in ds3

I had to use a mimic tear with Malenia

How bout top 10 easiest Souls bosses ?

In Demons Souls I had way more problems with flamelurker and maneaters XD

I would say falling dmg is the ultimate boss of souls games. Also, Sister fride needed a mention. So it's obvious ds3 had the most hard bosses. I also got through anor londo archers on my first try on my playthrough. In my second, I found out I was a lucky bastard. Aside from that, OnS was a hard boss. Like when you encounter it, you are not that high on dps and hp.

💯% agreed with this list 😎 🙏 👌

Those games thrive off people having literally nothing better to do.

The only one I agree with is Manus. Especially with Nameless king. Not even top 3 in that game

Would argue Sword Saint tops them all as there really is not a lot of cheese in Sekiro, in your first run there's no real strat to level up anything significant and you literally just have to master it or suffer

I would just change the part of Dark souls 3 and elden ring. bosses like midir or sister friede, have more difficult movement, more resistance, speed, and damage. About Elden Ring, I don't think Malenia is as difficult as it seems, she only has one attack that is difficult, which would be "Waterful dance". Maybe maliketh(ng+ it even becomes difficult) or radagon (because it's tiring due to elden beast)

Do non fromsoft games count? If so, then I would throw nameless puppet, Laxasia, and Unidentified Natyiba on the list

Imo DeS-Flamelurker DS-Manus DS2-Fume Knight BB-Orphan of Kos DS3-Sister Friede SSDT-Demon of Hatred ER-Malenia

Darkeater Midir is harder than nameless king

DS1: Bed of Chaos. DS2: Either Vendrick (cuz I didn't know about him) or Fume Knight I guess. DS3: Gael Sekiro: Isshin the Glock Saint Elden Ring: Obvious (unless Mesmer is gonna be somehow worse than her)

Orphan of kos was painful

For me the Dancer is a harder boss than Nameless King. I recently played the DLC and ended up beating Midir first try but back when I played on Xbox it took me at least 30+ tries

When I played bloodborne, it was my first souls game. I died a few times at the first boss, and then 2 times at father gascoigne. A few times at the blood starved beast and once at the giant spider. Other than that I didn’t die during any boss fights. Although I missed several bosses

i just did a play through of dark souls 3 again... sister friede was the only one that gave me trouble

I agree with all except for DS3. Hardest boss of DS3 was either Friede or Midir.

Demon souls - havent played Dark souls 1 - Manus Dark souls 2 - Fume knight Bloodborne - Orphan of Kos Dark souls 3 - Sister Friede Sekiro - Inner Father Elden Ring - Malenia

"Geeee airman"

Nameless king isn't hard . + Laurence should be here .

1.malenia 2.midir 3.sister friede 4.laurence 5.orphan of kos

Nameless king? Seriously? Ultra greatsword doing clang clang

Sister friede was harder than the nameless king. You can cheese his lighting strike attack by simply turning away. In Elden Ring I feel like the hardest/coolest boss is maliketh. Even he was harder than Malenia and I’m an intelligence build… but the other bosses I agree with. Especially Manus! He is a thorn in my side! 😅

Unsure why everyone names Manus. Kalameet is worse and one shots you. If don't memorize 1-2 moves. You can put on heavy armor and get lucky w Manus. The only boss I never memorized his moves, was never necessary.

Nah it should be Midir. Like I’m playing through ds3 for the first time right now and it only took 2 attempts for me to beat Nameless King, and Gael was 4. Midir I lost count but it was somewhere between 35-45. Like that guy is ruthless and my friends who are veterans of the series say that Midir is harder than Orphan of Kos and Melania

I never played any souls game, Right now I'm thinking about to start with Elden ring or sekiro isn't it gonna be to difficult for me ?

My list Demon souls : Flamelurker Dark souls : Manus Dark souls 2 : Sir Alonne Dark souls 3 : Sister Friede now (Midir in first monts) Bloodborne : Orphan of Kos now (Lawrence in first monts) Elden ring : Radagon now (Malenia in first monts)

ds1: honesty didn't struggle with any of the bosses... except artorias, fuck artorias, nobody should be allowed three consecutive spinny pancake slams like that. I guess ornstein and smough made me switch up how I play but as soon as i did it was a trivial dub, so idk. ds2: honestly the lost sinner had me stuck for the longest time. the burnt ivory king's knights gave me a lot of annoyance but the king himself was fine (despite the king being the only to kill me, but god damn those knights were a pain) elden ring: malenia by far, but honorable mention to renalla and rykard who give me an unreasonable amount of trouble for no reason despite everyone telling me they're supposed to be easy ds3 (so far, haven't finished): only got up farron keep and the place where gael and the infinitely spawning zombies are, but i was stuck on the rotting greatwood for the longest time but beat him first try on my most recent attempt, otherwise the crystal sage gave me some hands and a half bb (so far, haven't finished): only got up to old yarnham, but father gascone is the ONLY soulsborne boss that's had me screaming like a little girl. bonus points - lies of p: laxasia, fuck laxasia.

DS3 was Midir. No question about it. Frieda you could learn her pattern quick, the king was just a standard strong boss

For me in DS3 it was Midir.

You forget Midir in dark souls 3 . The hardest boss i think

In ds3 I found Gael and midir the most difficult, midir is an absolute beast. Also controversial opinion but twin princes are a pain in the ass. Malenia is hard but she’s weak to bleed which helped me massively 😂 Elden beast was a struggle for me ngl

1 midir wtf nammles king is so easy against midir

Orphan of Kos for me

I know its an unpopular opinion but Lorian from Dark Souls 3 is very hard if you're not prepared

I think Friede or Midir from DS3 was harder than nameless king. But agree with everyone else

Father owl (past), Laurence

My list: Demon Souls: havent played Ds1: Knight Artorias DS2: the game itself DS3: Aldrich Elden Ring: Malenia Sekiro: havent played

DS1 - Kopro Demon DS3 - Champion Gundir Bloodborne - Kos Elden Ring - Radagon/Elden Beast

the fckn rat king in ds2 with his poisened rats. The main bos was easy but his rat friends was just annoying

Demon souls: Flamelurker Dark souls 1: Manus Dark Souls 2: Fume Knight Bloodborne: Ebrietas Dark Souls 3: Midir Elden Ring: Malenia

Man eater or flamelurker for me

Fume Knight gave me nightmares 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾

Midir should’ve been the pick for ds3

The last boss harder than Malenia especially as a mage

Old king allant ? What about flamelurker
