Today, we're talking about the hardest bosses from each of the souls games by FromSoftware. This includes Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. I wanted to list the hardest bosses from each game and list the reasons why I think they're difficult because they all have unique combat styles and other mechanics that set them apart from each other.

Hot take: Malenia would go from the hardest boss to one of the easiest bosses if she was a sekiro boss, because her entire moveset feels more fitting for a game with the sekiro combat style

@eetfuk3571 Год назад

If they put Malenia in Sekiro. She'll be hard too because she will wield a Sekiro mechanic ans you have to deal with it. Imagine her gaining her posture back whenever you didn't parry her attacks and just guarded them. It will be a pain.

For me personally, Midir was a nightmare until I did my soul level 1 run of the game and realised the key to dodging midir was to roll backwards, not towards him and wait for the chance to hit his head. After acquiring that knowledge it made him piss easy, just took long to get down his health bar

@hybrid5860 Год назад

For me, Malenia feels more like a Sekiro boss instead of a souls boss. Her sword combos feel like they would have worked better with Sekiro’s combat style. Also, wouldn’t it have been cool to see two master swordsmen/woman with amputated limbs fighting?

@atlas1215 Год назад

I agree with the sentiment on Malenia feeling like a Sekiro boss. Waterfowl Dance reminds me too much of Spiral Cloud Passage, one of the combat arts Tomoe created. It makes me wonder if parts of Malenia's moveset was inspired or potentially utilized what might have been a scrapped Tomoe design/boss in Sekiro.

@Afflictamine Год назад

Malenia is basically an Endurance check (roll a certain amount of times in a row), its also much harder to fight her with a slow weapon (colossal greatsword etc.) than a regular dex or int build

@danielpatterson1576 Год назад

One thing about Malenia is that she functions the same as Elden Ring itself: it can be as easy or difficult as you want, depending entirely on how you choose to play and how much you explore. You decide the difficulty of encounters. There are many ways to cheese Malenia. RoB, FBJ, dual Scavenger Swords, spirit summon (especially the mimic), Maliketh’s Black Blade, Ice Spear ash of war, etc. In an honest duel, she’s probably the hardest boss in the series, but you can turn her into a human pincushion with a quick trip to Mt Gelmir or killing a Nightrider in Liurnia.

He was my natural enemy... Well rather my laptops' natural enemy

I haven't fought the DLC bosses in DS1 and DS2 and haven't put much time yet into trying to beat Malenia without summons, but with those caveats, Orphan was definitely the hardest for me so far.

@@tastycheetoboi1092 Waterfowl can be consistently dodged with many ways and techniques unless you simply don't even try to beat the boss or learn it (coming from a guy that has beaten malenia and all of elden ring in RL1) You can easily outdamage her lifesteal even while using a shield. She heals 300-400 damage per hit and by the time you find her in the game, you should be doing 500+ damage. Plus she only heals on hit and you should learn not to get hit that much like any other boss. Generally not a problem! It's a hard boss to be certain and requires a high skill cap but it's a secret optional boss therefore you can skip her if you don't want to fight her or feel like she's too difficult. Hell, you can even cheese her if you want the achievement so you can get the platinum trophy.

@andreamicheli2575 Год назад

WD is the only attack in her kit that is actually hard to dodge, without it she is nowhere near the hardest boss in the game (at that point Maliketh, Mohg, Godfrey and Radagon/EB are wayyy harder)

@bohottie Год назад

I think Midir’s learning curve is very high, but I feel like once I beat him one time, it was very consistent after that. I think he still is the hardest boss the game by far (probably top 3 in the series), but it’s just a different type of fight because of his size and damage output. He actually doesn’t have many moves, but the difficulty comes in his damage and most builds pretty much getting one shotted. The health never felt too crazy to me as I was able to get a riposte on him every fight, which reduces his health significantly. I feel like people either can get used to the style of fight or struggle with it. I would probably put Melania solo above him just because of the insane move pool coupled with the high execution. ER is more easily exploited, which makes her maybe seem easier, but just looking at the fight alone, I think she edges him out. Isshin is definitely up there, and that is the type of fight I struggle with, but great video overall, and I agree with pretty much ever pick.

@gaiaorigin9569 Год назад

I actually really like the Sister Friede boss fight. Her third phase always got me - the first two phases are pretty easy after a couple of tries. For me, the key to her third phase were her jumping attacks - once I realised you have to roll towards her, not away from her, it made the fight significantly easier.

@acphantom6437 11 месяцев назад

I liked Sister Frieda cause I felt like I was making progress each run and it took me a respectable number of tries especially considering she's a final boss.

@YogiYarnham1709 Год назад

They really need to up the Deathblight mechanism for him. I think of sekiros Guardian ape who can fill your terror bar with 1 attack if you don't run away or Nashandra from DS2 who slowly fills your cursed bar by close proximity to her are good examples Upping his effect of deathblight by proximity would force the melee players to distance themselves to let their bar drop but they could make him super aggressive with ranged attacks so Magic users have to get closer to have an opening to attack.

The real horror and what literally gave me my first gray hair was Watchdog of Ancients in defiled chalice dungeon on my platinum run. Still see nightmares because of that bastard

@NWGJulian Год назад

hmmm, i feel like orphan phase 2 can be really unfair at some point. i had no trouble with gael or midir, but orphan is my personal nightmare.

@victor_734 Год назад

Amygdala in defiled chalice was pretty insane as well

@weebto Год назад

Meh... I got orphan in very few tries on my first ever playthrough but I realized I got insanely lucky. Nowadays I can never predict how many times it's gonna take me, be it 2 or 20. He's quite an inconsistently difficult boss tbh, probably not the best example of the "hard but fair" philosophy. The watchdog and Amygdala are a lot more consistent, I would say, and much more subjective too. I got the dog down in like, 2 tries, but defiled Amy drove me insane. I think I got close to 50 attempts, which almost made me lose it lol

@_MrToast_ Год назад

Oh man those dungeons... The Watchdog was a pain i totally agree, because of the 50% HP, that charge attack always one shottet me. The RNG made the fight super annoying. But the bloodletting beast with the worm head (Great Pthumeru Ihyll) almost made me give up the Platinum trophy. What a piece of sh*t boss that was. It really seemed unfair at some point & kinda like the boss wasnt tought trough 100%. That was also the first time where i googled for a cheese. I never did that in any souls game before, but i felt so defeated. And guess what, there is no real cheese for this one. So i had to beat him the ''normal'' way. The feelings i had after finally beating that f**cker, damn.

I agree with almost everything you said, but I would put Gael above Friede for runner up, as you mentioned she could be cheesed with backstabs and parries and if you really wanted you can use the gael summon to help with phases two and three, but the Slave Knight himself for me was a far harder fight, mainly his feral first phase and Avatar of the Dark Soul phase three

@arellajardin8188 Год назад

Fume Knight was a brick wall for me, uncountable deaths. I think it’s because he’s not like most DS2 bosses. He’s relentless in comparison to most bosses in that game, he has combo extensions based on your position, and he’s maybe the first boss in the series that punishes flask drinking.

@Celatra Год назад

gwyn did that first

@logicwizard783 Год назад

Let's be honest, even though it's more of a boss health-related thing rather than anything to do with healing items, but I'd say the first boss to punish healing was honestly flamelurker. Obviously not in the sense gwyn does, but flamelurker gives you hardly enough time to heal when his health is low. Immediately regains his posture right after an attack, at least in the original version.

@Ghorda9 Год назад

you have artorias and sentry guardian that also punishes flask drinking.

@helge5565 Год назад

Yeah, flask punishes were definitely in DaS1, they might have even been in DeS

@fallen9997 Год назад

Malenia's only thing making her hard is Waterfowl. Cambined with lifesteal EVEN TROUGH SHIELDS this attack is ridiculous. Her sprit move is kinda hard, but not as hard as Waterfowl. Everything else is really easy to manage though. If I would rank tye Top 10, it would be like this: 10. Manus, Father of the Abyss 9. Darkeater Midir 8. Dragonlord Placidusax 7. Malenia, Blade of Miquella 6. Nameless King 5. Starscourge Radahn 4. Morgott, the Omen King 3. Slave Knight Gael 2. Mohg, Lord of Blood 1. Maliketh, the Black Blade

@Churahm Год назад

Fume knight is mostly an easy boss in terms of his moveset. The ONLY reason he's even considered difficult is because they decided to inflate his difficulty by making each of his attack hit for like 90% of your HP. To be fair, this is a recurring theme in souls game.

I personally think that Maliketh is harder because he has everything : no window, cuts your HP, spams attack. I had to cheese him because out of 20 attempts, I never got to cut 10% of his phase 2 hp. But I beated Malenia in 15 tries with the bloodhounde fang and with 8 estus still with me.

@cardmossdn8058 Год назад

Maliketh has massive attack windows lmao, he has multiple attacks in both phases that allow you to get in fully charged heavy attacks with colossal weapons. Yeah, he does a lot of damage, but he has insanely low health, you only need to get in a few hits. He’s a completely fair boss

@batman1155 Год назад

@@cardmossdn8058 this is the problem, I always see people saying that Maliketh is fair but to be, he kept on attacking over and over again it was impossible for me to land a hit. I avoided Malenia's dance but I was never able to avoid maliketh triple slash

@yup7380 Год назад

@@batman1155 I think he has opening but it works differently than most if not all souls boss. You don't wait for him to finish a certain pattern or combos. You attack him during his combo. Maliketh stab the sword to the ground charging AoE then jump backward, this is an opening. You wait behind him for him to backflip so you can attack him. Maliketh long delayed slam to the ground, you can just stay very close under him and the sword will miss. Another window. His slashes that looks like one mind from sekiro, you dodge to his left/right by rolling or simply running. That is also a window to attack. So I think he has openings that exist during him attacking. Lowkey, I think his first phase is the one that is too fast.

@maeborowski3554 Год назад

You know, dark souls has two main approaches: The regular runs, and the challenge runs. For some reason, the normal runs are harder than challenge runs, I still remember how Nameless king was my DS3 hardest boss, but when I went to fight him at sl1 with +0 weapons, he became much much easier. Perhaps because you adapt to the bosses on a whole another level. Therefore, in dark souls, the weaker you get, the easier the game gets. Unless you're a game journalist

Darkeater Midir has to be my all time favorite boss in any of the Souls games, and I've played all of them. I find him quite fun and simple to fight if you use a Ultra weapon, and commit to staying in front of his face. Doing so will often bait out his claw sweeps, which can all pretty much be punished with a fully charged R2. Close second favorite boss is definitely Owl (Father), made even better when fighting Inner Father.

@Hanshotchewie Год назад

I had the same thing happened to me with Fume Knight :D Agreed on prettymuch all the choices you've made for +0 games. Especially for the two bosses picked at the end. Altho I would probably change second picks for DS3 and ER on NG+7. In DS3 +7 Midir still felt hardest by far, I've never really had troble with Friede, but I would put Gael +7 as a second pick. And honorable mention Demon Princes on +7 suddenly felt quite insane too. As for Elden ring, Malenia on +7 is still on top. Maliketh felt absolutelly nuts when I first encountered him on +0, but since he has so little health he really gets easy on subsequent NG+, meanwhile Radagon+Beast were not a bad fight in itself at first, but on NG+7 I feel like they've earned my second spot for me. And really close third I would be picking between the crucible knights duo boss fight and gargoyle duo boss fight. As for any other games, I'd say the list stays the same for me. And a side-note. I'm glad you didn't put Radahn, Nameless king or Abyss watchers there. I don't get why so many people in past thought of them as hardest.
