The Most Underrated Boss in Every Souls Game (Including Elden Ring) 

Thank you so much for watching! If you need a reminder not to give up, skeleton, you can get a shirt here: emberdrops.co/

My favorite boss in DS3 is Champion Gundyr. Very underrated.

The bell bearing hunters are essentially elemer of the briar with more health, which is nice

I think a posture bar would take the visceral feeling of fights away from ER bosses. It’s a lot less intense if I have a posture bar to shoot for. I prefer it where I don’t know when I’m gonna get that opening - keeps me humble every time I run the game with a new build.

Demon Princes are definitely underrated in DS3, you nailed that one on the head, the entry and fight are amazing

you forgot bed of chaos teh most underated

I was gonna say Demon of Hatred for Sekiro, but I forgot about True Corrupted Monk. That's a pretty underrated boss as well.

True Monk is truly incredible. The arena and music are some of FromSoft's finest work. My favourite fights in these games tend to be ones with dance-like cadence and feel - when I saw her make that giant leap and strike a kabuki pose, I knew it was going to be good.

honestly Godrick to me is like the Abyss Watchers in DS3, an objectively easy fight but everything within it is so well put together that its a fight i really wish was more difficult or lasted longer, each is an absolutely wonderful spectacle. it is plainly way too fun to be over that quickly

I personally think Oceiros is the most underrated, his voice acting and cut content involving Ocelotte is insane.

Mine for Elden Ring is probably "Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella" I think by the time peoplenreached this boss if they even reached it at all, they were overlevelled and did not find the fight that fun. ME on the other hand was just the right level but also a newbie(first souls game after sekiro for me) wasnt familiar with sharpness not being effective against armored bosses so this took me some time but it is probably my favorite sideboss in entirety of Elden Ring. That phase 2 transition hit hard when it started flying around and everything. Cool boss

I once stated The Demon Prince to be the most underrated boss in all of Souls, it's nice seeing that fight get the recognition it deserves. I also fully agree on Godrick. I'm not a fan of most bosses in Elden Ring, but he easily took the spot as my favorite fight. He deals reasonable damage which makes it an interesting back and forth instead of a constant vigor check, most of his attacks are well telegraphed with not much unusual delay, he's the source behind some great memes and has an awesome 2nd phase transition. I wish more ER fights were as fun as Godrick.

Dragonslayer Armor is definitely the most underrated for me in DS3.

Shadows of Yharnam is one of the best gank fights FS has ever done. Seriously happy seeing it here.

Elemer is absolutely amazing, but I definitively didn't think he was easy, in fact he gave me more trouble than most bosses in the game... love his style, he looks more like a horror movie villain than a knight in a medieval world and I love that, specially how he appears randomly near merchants at night. If he had gotten a unique theme it would have been even better.

DS2 was my first souls game, and the pursuer was the first boss I ever got stuck on (since the last giant is a bit of a pushover). It took me a really long time to beat him, but I learned so much about how to play souls games, and when I finally got him it was super satisfying. Dragon Slayer Armor is definitely an underrated boss as well. One of my favorite in DS3.

Definitely agree with Godrick. Such a fun fight. It’s too bad I rage quit to Royal Revenant before I got to beat him lol Also how would you feel about doing best/worst weapons from every souls game?

darn you ember and you’re ability to make me want to play thru these games again

The purse user is extremely underrated, super memorable and amazing design

Gonna love the list !!!

i think the most underrated boss in Elden Ring is Lichdragon Fortissax, such a cinematic and cool boss with an amazing lore behind it

My personal DS3 underrated and probably up there in my favourite bosses would be Dragonslayer armour mostly cause I feel from the game it comes from I find it to be one of the few plain and fair bosses (no extra gimmicks no suprised just you and the boss) I also find the trick move it has to be funny as well as a nice suprise. Also happy to fight it a second time in Ringed City

1:53 That dodge over The Gaping Dragons tail was clean

So happy you pick demon Prince in dark souls 3, such a fun fight, most underrated boss in the series imo.

Lady Butterfly is the most underrated boss in Sekiro for me. It's easy yes, but the choreography, arena and fight itself is beautiful. One of my favorite bosses

Borealis would be my pick for Elden Ring. Regular dragon fights are so fun in this game, and this is the ultimate one, with a cinemati "frozen lake" twist and dangerous frost moves. The intro to this boss, with you riding Torrent straight at his screaming jaws through the fog, is just epic. Kudos for bringing up Shadows of Yharnam, brilliantly paced boss.

That outro was insane

Glad to see someone else shares my love for the Shadows of Yharnam It is a masterclass on gank fights. Best in the series imo For Elden Ring I'd say Godskin Apostle tho

Whoa! Excellent outro!!

Recently purchased one of the Dont give up skeleton shirts and was surprised to get a handwritten note from the man himself! Really appreciated that and I’m glad to have bought a shirt

Elemer is a straight up masterpiece. If he had more significance in the story and was given his own theme, he would easily be one of the best in the game imo.

Demon princes I feel are on a redemption arc in the community. And rightfully so, I love that fight. And corrupted monk is an awesome fight as well that needs more recognition.

To me the most slept on boss in Elden Ring is definitely Commander Naill. The knights were never an issue to me since one is so aggressive and the other so passive It's just 2 1v1s, and his 2nd phase is just awesome. He feels so fair yet so aggressive with a moveset that rewards aggression from the player which I love. Sure he's a bit easy, but other than that I just love this boss.

Good list Ember! Here is my list: Demon Souls: Penetrator Dark Souls 1: Iron Golem Dark Souls 2: Old Dragonslayer Dark Souls 3: Dragonslayer Armour Elden Ring: Godrick the Grafted (and Godskin Apostle for miniboss) Haven't played Bloodbourne or Sekiro yet so can't really rank them.

I watch all your movies, but only the Demon's Souls and Bloodborne parts, since I've played just those two (actually, currently finishing my first Demon's Souls playthrough), and when I saw the title of this one, I immediately thought "too bad no one's ever mention Shadows of Yharnam" and bam, here it is. They are plain horror! Thank you for that!

Ds3 has the best bosses in the series 100% and I feel like Sulyvahn is so slept on

You're absolutely right on the corrupted monk man. He is hard enough to pose as a challenge, but easy enough to get down. You did it once again and made another awesome list ❤. Looking forward to your next video!

I'm glad to find someone who appreciates Godrick as much as I do, seeing him for the first time after fighting through Stormveil was so cool, especially when phase 2 started, that set the tone for the entire game for me and told me I was in for something truly special.

I think Gaping Dragon is a good choice for DS1 on this list, but the other fight from that game that I think is particularly underrated is the Iron Golem. I like the creepy design of the golem, being such a giant humanoid with a tiny head wearing shiny armor-- it makes you kind of wonder if there's any sort of humanity inside that suit of armor or if it is just a soulless monstrosity. Also I think the arena you fight him in is very cool, being on a dangerously narrow walkway at the top of Sen's Fortress, a dungeon which felt to me a lot like some kind of forest temple from Zelda, having a sense of mystery surrounding it and making me wonder what would be waiting for me when I reached the top.

KING! Demon Princes are SO slept on and I only truly realised this when I last played thru DS3 while waiting for Elden Ring. Demon Princes are the BEST duo fight that they've done.

Finished Elden Ring a few weeks ago after 130 hours and now I'm starting a full playthrough of the soulsbourne series (at least whats on PC, DS1, DS2, DS3, Sekiro). Ever since i got into Elden Ring your videos have been super addicting and I've watched every single one

Can you please do the most over hated bosses? I always think about Yhorm. A lot of players hated on him for being a gimmick boss, but I look forward to it every playthrough

Armored warrior in Sekiro his lore is awesome and way of killing him is way different than any other fight

If you want Elemer of Briar with more health, then go fight Caelid's Bell bearing hunter. That shit is straight up pain.

with the shadows of yharnam my strategy is always to cheese the fireball thrower with bone marrow ash and a cannon, it makes the fight much less stressful

A boss that's actually slept on in DS3 is Iudex Gundyr, the very first boss of the game. And the reason for that is that it shows you most, if not all major mechanics that the game throws at you, Iudex is arguably the best tutorial boss in any of the games. First of all he's parryable, secondly he has a 2nd phase and you really learn a lot from fighting him, like the fact that you can hit him before the fight even starts and also during the transition to phase 2, since you get 20-30 seconds of free damage during the fight, you learn to jump in and take advantage of the bosses downtime.

You make the best Fromsoft vids bro

Ember has shot up to be one of my favourite soulsborne content creators along with Vaatividya. Keep doing what your doing Ember. Content is always entertaining and a guaranteed click when I see it

The Shadows of Yharnam is my favorite gank boss in all of Soulsborne and any other soulslike.

Will you do play throughs of the souls games at some point? Great video btw!

DS3 demon prince is my favorite gank fight in all souls, perfectly balanced. but for ER, Fortissax and hoarah loux, the spectacle and the ost of Godwyn's bff is so underrated.

Champion Gundyr is one of my all-time favorite Souls boss fights; the music, the move set, the whole fight is epic.

Godrick is definitely the most underrated boss in Elden Ring. Margit may be a gatekeeper but Godrick is a tester of your game knowledge. Dude have literally everything you need to know from jumping attacks to posture breaking. And on the topic of posture breaking. I don't think it's a good idea to put a posture bar in the Elden Ring UI. In Sekiro posture breaking was the main focus, while in ER downing HP is main focus - breaking posture is a playstyle. It's a absolutely fun playstyle but not everyone use it. It's like having a cookies in front of your face but being not allowed to eat them because you don't do something (not using heavy attacks or "heavier" spells) And the sound of poise breaks... It's like slapping a boss with a nuke in the face. 10/10, best mechanic in Elden Ring. Sekiro is amazing but great hammer in the face is more satisfying for me

I’m with you on True Corrupted Monk. The arena, the dance like move set and three phases. I feel Sekiro is underrated overall due to it’s difficulty.

0:26 got me 😂😂😂 that was good

Pursuer: You gotta hit the parry Me: Oh you sweet, summer child. You don't know the power of the barrel strats.

Love your’s vídeos, send a hello for Brazil

From games I have completed or come close to completing: DS1: Iron Golem DS2: Ruin Sentinels DS3: Demon Prince Sekiro: True Corrupted Monk

Glad to know im not the only one who loves the demon prince boss fight

Super solid picks bro. Shadows, true monk, and Demon Prince are absolutely phenomenal

Much love for picking the Gaping Dragon. I love that little Nope so much. It has no real story (except for "probably a Dragon crashed into the Underground and corrupted there"), the fight is really easy and it is an optional boss aswell, but I still love it. it just has this feeling of "dungeon exploring". Also the boss actually gets kinda hard if you are cursed, because then he will probably one-shot you with every touch.

I don’t know why but I had an absolute blast fighting the gargoyle duo fight, it was a perfect mix of one runs in and the other sits back, but the that sat back speed poison, I had fun dying and learning their moves and eventually was confident enough to fight Black Death gargoyle, pushed him over in like 2 tries.

I agree with a lot of this. Demon Prince is one of the best bosses in DS3 and hardly anyone talks about it. I think it's far more enjoyable than certain other fan favourites that I don't really like that much, such as Friede and Midir that, IMO, really only get rated highly because of their difficulty and not much else.

DS1: Bell Gargoyles DS2: Sinh DS3: Dragonslayer Armor Bloodborne: Gascoigne Sekiro: Demon of Hatred Elden Ring: Godrick and Fortissax

I totally agree corrupted monk is underrated. I really like false corrupted monk, more so than true monk, it is just so much fun parrying her attacks.

The giant snakes with the shadows of yharnam only happen when there is one left, just to let you know great video

Ruin Sentinels are my favorite...love that fight

Twin princes and D-slayer armor were my favorite summons for sure, but the demon prince is definitely the first thing that comes to mind on underrated bosses in souls for me

100 percent agree on the gapping dragon

It’s so interesting to see people discuss which bosses were harder for them. In Elden Ring for example. Malenia is almost unanimously difficult, but I personally died to the Briar Guy several times and absolutely wrecked a lot of the endgame bosses minus Malenia and Godfrey

My favorite thing on ghost corrupted monk is jumping off that shrine in the back and one shotting her with the deathblow

Leaving a like since i admit you made me laugh a couple of times😂

The gaping dragon has one of my favorite themes from ds1

the shadows of yharnam fight is brutal on ng+ and beyond because each shadow gets a health bar that is pretty much that of a regular boss so it's like fighting three actual bosses at the same time that deal crazy damage

I actually want to see that the Pursuer gets more respect because he’s awesome, one of the best bosses in the game, one of my favorite bosses, and he’s the only boss who’s pursuing you before you defeat him and after you defeat him.

Was really hoping to see Micolash in the Bloodborne section. The mechanics of a boss fight are top priority ofc, but you can't tell me Micolash doesn't go extra hard in terms of atmosphere and all that external drive to squash him.

You want a mini-boss rematch turned up to 11 in Elden Ring, go to the merchant shack in Caelid at night. The Bell Bearing Hunter comes and he is rough. Mind you, there are others, but the guy in Caelid comes at you like you stole his lunch.

Every take in this is 👌👌👌👌

I believe that Halflight is an underrated fight. It’s not bad, the boss music is epic, and it doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. It gets so hated on despite not being a bs bossfight

I’m happy to see someone appreciate true monk

YESSS, demon princes rep haha also i'm surprised the corrupted monk is so underrated, ngl she was my favourite boss in the game, the visuals and the music are so good and she's so fun to fight

Corrupted monk is my favorite boss from sekiro, something about the disproportionate large body, while also being incredibly fast is super cool/weird Reminds me of that chick from Igor

Dang the demon souls boss could pass for a Shardbearer from the Stormlight archives. If you come across this message, I'd Highly recommend either listening or reading a book called, "The Way of Kings" it's an epic masterpiece.

I love looking glass knight and executioners chariot

I completed Bloodborne for the first time earlier this week and it was a hell of a ride. I love the Shadow of Yharnam fight. I managed to kill them on my first attempt and I did go into that fight terrified. I was more scared of having to do the run back to them if I got killed. I chewed through my blood vials like mad, but I handled the fight pretty well. I'm not sure I actually saw the snake summon at all when I was down to just 1 Shadow. Even though I was outnumbered it never felt unfair. Now, the gank fight of the Living Failures majorly sucked for me. I couldn't get a handled on the fight and ended up summoning Yamamura to help me with them. I'm also finally to both DLC in DS3. I took a break from it to complete Bloodborne, but I made it all the way through the main game before I stopped to refocus on Bloodborne. I've seen others fight the Demon Princes and I'm rather excited for it. It definitely gets slept on. I play offline and while I know I can summon Laap and/or Gael for it, I might try it solo for a bit. Even though it being 2v1 worries me a bit. I am going to look up the fight again before I get there so that I can remember which one to try to kill first. I'd rather fight the Demon Prince with the laser than the Demon Prince with the meteor attacks. I hated those things in Smoldering Lake and would rather not deal with a boss doing that attack at me. I had a lot of fun with Dragonslayer Armor and his music is among the best in a game already filled with great music. Champion Gundyr was a rough fight (with an annoying af run to get to him), but it was fun. I tried parrying him, but I think I was slightly off with the timing or just too far away, because I'd parry him but then the game wouldn't let me land the critical on him. I'm going to see if I'm better at parries in DS3 since fighting Lady Maria and the Orphan of Kos taught me how to parry in Bloodborne. Godrick was initially impressive, but if I ever fight him again (I'm a bit burned out on Elden Ring and I'm nowhere near the end of it) I'm going to do it differently. I went in with Nepheli (the woman NPC we can summon) and summoned Aurelia the jellyfish. I killed him on my first attempt and it honestly wasn't even me. That woman got in the final hit. I can't tell if bringing her and using the jellyfish spirit made the fight too easy or if I was overleveled or if it was a combination of factors, but that fight was far too easy for what I was expecting. Same for Radahn. I went in again scared and I think he took me just 4 attempts, and I didn't even summon that many of the NPCs to help. As for Sekiro, I'm going back to that one once I've finished DS3. I need to be able to properly focus on that game and be able to completely get the muscle memory down without interference from other FromSoftware games.

Definitely agree with the elemer take. Worth the time considering he gives you the best weapon in the game

Penetrator is my favorite from demon's souls. The shadows of yarnaham is my favorite from Bloodborne base game. Gaping dragon is kind of just a target practice boss and fill your screen. The pursuer got an amazing design and that's bout it. If the crossbow wasn't there he'd be alot higher. Godrick i agree, he's an amazing boss to finish off the castle and the scaling at that point actually worked compared to later bosses even tho i explored a shit ton beforehand. As for twin princess demons they are an amazing introduction to the ringed city and are also one of my favorite fights. As for corrupted true monk, the fight doesn't feel good and heavily forces you to play alot more passively at start. And at the 3rd phase you just wait for the puke or get really annoyed by it. 2nd phase with the clones and the oneshot leap is fun tho. But what would fill that spot alot better in Sekiro is Guardian ape. Seemingly chaotic fight at start, then in the most fromsoftware fashion he picks up his head and you start a sword duel with a giant gorilla

Shadows of Yharnam.. second phase? This is the first time I learn about this.

You don't need to parry the Pursuer, just run past him and hit the ballista.

speaking of underrated bosses... for ER would be the bell bearing hunter you fight in caelid close to radahns tower, that sob hit like 20 trucks combined even at lvl 180 or something it took some effort to defeat him.

I think The corrupted 2nd phase instakill is intentional . That is why she kinda has 3 phase and not being a main boss. She only appears when you stand on a certain branch. And it's execute animation is unique. It is not like you can encounter a normal enemy variant in the open fields. If it wasn't intended one of them would be patched out.

Definitely dont need to parry to ballista the Persuer

Can we please get something other than a boss tier list? There is so much to dark souls than just bosses man

The false Monk is super underrated to me. Idk what it is about that fight, but I looked forward to it on every playthrough of Sekiro

Penetrator is my favorite boss in Demon‘s Souls together with Old Hero and Tower Knight

Yeah Gaping Dragon Demon of Song, an interesting boss with invincible phases, lots of attack options and things it can do, with lots of style and flair combined with the arena and it being integrated through song into the area. Moon Presence, i like the hp drain attack to push you to rally it, the heal-sealing bubbles, i seem to remember cutting the tentacles which if true was fun, was pretty ferocious with the movement and rush-down attacks, just not as hard as Gehrman or as beautiful as Gehrman, it obviously couldn't follow up Gehrman, it is too easy and staggers too easy. Dancer of the Boreal Valley, feel like she got a lot of love back in the day but lost the appreciation over time. A hard boss until you've got her in which case she's still pretty challenging, the music trick is cute, her having the glowy sword and then styling up the arena with the flame sword, very visually impressive. Placidusax, overshadowed by other endgame bosses in terms of difficulty, has an actual run back, the boss music is only atmospheric and not a banger on its own, and kinda middling remembrance rewards but imo the best fight in the game with the best visuals and arena. Adulla, any dragon really are fun to fight but i like Adulla's additional moves to the basic formula.

Gaping Dragon is really easy to dodge but once you get hit you're health bar gets easily chopped into half. Also, he has an earthquake attack which can render you in a permanent stagger-death-dance.

elmer was one of my hardest fights lmao. but after beating him i was so happy, even though i lost like 90k souls fighting him

cool list! I definitely agree on Godrick being the most underrated main boss in ER, for me he's just the best boss in the game, period, with Godfrey being a close second. As for the minibosses, though, I'd have to go with the Fallingstar Beast, the Caelid version is not great due to the arena, but the fight at the top of Mt Gelmir is just pure perfection, especially if you get there underleveled hard agree on Sekiro as well, it's kinda funny, since I absolutely hated the false Corrupted Monk due to the absurd posture recovery, but the true version was awesome many good points on the earlier games, Demon Princes are now starting to get the love they deserve (esp after people saw how bad duo fights can be in ER), but were definitely overlooked at launch

I really enjoy Elemer of the Briar, his fight isn't that hard but it's still difficult enough to give me a challenge. His lore is also pretty cool.
