In terms of how much of a wild card leechmonger is, a lot of people consider him effortless. Classic sunburned albino. Destroys old king, dies to leech
Tbh sometimes it's just an issue of approach or build. Bloodborne bosses mostly killed me around 2-4 times, but the hardest one in the whole game for me was Lawrence from the dlc. Not Ludwig. Lawrence. It's because my build was all strength and I'd built for the stake driver and buzz axe, and just never got much *range* so when he was half dead and spewing lava everywhere I couldn't figure out a way to hit him consistently without getting trapped in the lava pools. Lawrence killed me 11 times. Most players probably have no issue with him, but I could deal with almost everything else decently.
Also the old monk is most likely a reference to The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers, a contemporary/inspiration to Lovecraft and his mythos (who we know From are big fans of!)
Yep, Leechmonger is Albino's Vacuous Rom for this game. He announced Old King Allant as 4th hardest and I was wracking my brain to find 3 that might be harder. I got the other two but for some reason, perhaps because I always melt this guy in 4 hits or less, I was sure he'd already been covered.
Thats probably because he chose to actually fight the bosses and not stand on the other side of the map launching a million fire bombs and think hes a awesome player because of it. I salute him for actually being good at the game
@@roberto5red5rocky85 You don't need to use cheese to melt him, just go up and hit him a few times, maybe use the pine resin that you find earlier in that very same area if you aren't fighting him as one of the later bosses you face (which you might since without directions everyone will play the game in a different order)
To be fair, Leechmonger is one of the hardest bosses to melee if you are using ONLY physical melee damage AND don’t exploit his flame weakness. The thing is, everybody knows about his flame weakness. (Except apparently Albino.) I can see from this video Albino wasn’t using any firebombs or fire damage.
SA: *puts leechmonger at #1* Everyone else: “He can’t do that! Shoot him... or something.” Edit: I actually used to struggle with Leechmonger, so I understand his placement. There’s a real simple trick: black fire resin (OGs remember it as black turpentine).
For the most part, his 1st place boss always gives me a wtf moment, but I do agree with this one since Leechmknger can fuck you up if you are low on materials and have low dps.
I was a third of the way through the list and thought “wait, where is leechmonger” I would laugh, but I legitimately think it’s great that different people find different bosses challenging. Good list!!!
Leechmonger is weak to fire. If you switch it up to ranged damage, you can kill it from the ledge without taking a single hit. Dropping down into the swamp is the WORST thing you can do against Leechmonger. One of the easiest fights in the game.
ikr he said that oceiros the consumed king was harder than nameless king and soc. I could make an arguement that the deacons of the deep is harder than oceiros
First time I fought leechmonger, I just used the bow immediately. Got his health down to one hit but didn’t want my trophy clip to be of me acting cheesy so I ran down to hit him with the sword and by the time I got to him he had healed completely. So then I killed him with my sword... Basically beat him twice, first go. Definitely one of the easiest bosses for me.
I wonder how many people are gonna say "Well why didn't you cheese them with X" when like. This guy doesnt cheese boss fights, he fightes em sword to sword. Remember this guy ranked the KH bosses with no Drives, Summons, etc.
For Leechmonger, try to grab some pine resin or the stronger black version, or find a spot where you can use the plankwalk thing as cover and hit him with ranged attacks. If you're far enough away, he'll only shoot projectiles and never heal.
Feel like this is different depending on your class, approach & items. Dealt with leechmonger really easily with magic & firebombs. hardest bosses imo are the penetrator, Tower Knight, Maneater & Flamelurker (not necessarily in that order)
12:20 The Fat Official just by the Tunnel City (Armor Spider) archstone commonly drops 1 or even 2 Full Moon Grass, I ended up with 99 of them just from grinding for a gold coin. You never ever need to grind souls to buy healing items after beating the Armor Spider. You can do the same thing for MP by getting 2 Fresh Spice of 1 Aged Spice from each of the 3 easily-accessible Jailers near the Tower of Latria archstone, after unlocking a couple of doors.
I haven't played the remake,but when I played the original Demon's Souls, I entered the Leechmonger bossfight accidentally and with no prep I could kill it first try usong only one grass. The tradition continues, Albino will always have that ez boss which ue struggles with xD, great vid btw
Always thought Demon Souls had a really cool boss lineup, I actually like how a lot of them have a certain gimmick to them like Adjudicator and the Idol. I like that little bit of puzzle mixed in with the fight.
The old monk boss actually summons any players in the area trying to be summoned to fight so its actually a pvp fight if your online and if you win as the monks champion you get the head wrap as a helmet
Blasting a bunch of stingrays outta the sky while Steve Irwin applauds you from the grave...lololololol, u got some great lines man keep it up, imma fan now
FUCK to the YES! I don’t think you ever did a ranking on the original and I am SO FUCKING HYPED now that this is here. Your jokes are more my cup of tea compared to DeMod’s jokes and I’m glad to finally see your opinion on the DeS bosses.
i guess we have different experiences depending on the build. leechmonger was easy peasy for me. all i did was walk through the fog wall, locked my target, and spammed soul ray without ever having to move an inch. i never went down the ramp to fight it. maneater was by far the toughest for me.
"While Steve Irwin applauds you from beyond the grave" spit my coffee out lol. brilliant joke and delivery. Actually, i think this ranking has some of your best comedic delivery.
It’s my first time playing Demon’s Souls and so far I’ve killed the first three bosses of world one, all from world two, and the fat guy from 4-1. Tower Knight was the one that gave me the most trouble. I died like 4-5 times to him. All the other bosses I killed either on my first or second try, but I pretty much just use up all my magic before I go in for melee hits because I’m a noob and I’m scared lol. Can’t wait to fight the rest of them tho I’m loving this game. Maneater x2 looks like it’s gonna be a bitch but I’ll see when I get there
everyone's different but I can't understand why Leechmonger is number 1 for hardest.....I literally went in and killed him in about 20 seconds...with a flame weapon..just used black pine resin and did what strategy suggested which was throw a few fire spells at him and then hack him to death while circling. He just died.. it was probably the most non-boss I've ever played in any of the Soulsborne games. Struggled with Maneater and needed online help and with one other, but most bosses have been more unusual and interesting than difficult but I suppose that is because when this was made, it was unique...we hadn't played much like it before but now, having played Sekiro, Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, these bosses do seem weak in comparison. But still loved it. It made a nice change for the areas to mostly be more difficult than the bosses.
Fools Idol tip: if you want the trophy for not hitting the clones, use the lock on. If you lock on to one and it a health bar pops up it's a fake. Makes the trophy a cake walk to get this way.
With all of the horror stories I’ve heard about Flamelurker being the one of the hardest souls bosses and the biggest roadblock in Demon’s Souls, I was expecting to rage more than a few times when I went to fight him for the first time. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that he could be staggered and his attacks were pretty well telegraphed. To my surprise I was able to beat him in my very first ever play through, on my very first try. Now as for Maneater....... I literally rage quit on him quite a few times. I finally beat him today though, after maybe 15 tries.
The souls games have been a breath of fresh air for me . Yes they are quite challenging , but once you learn the rules of the game you will Learn how to overcome and exploit said rules and it’s truly a rewarding experience . Example , come across an extremely aggressive enemy(not boss) who’s punishing you ? Study his patterns and parry . Or… if there’s a slight vertical ledge , just climb up and jump down/slash him for good damage . Or if you’re really lucky circle around em and kick em off a ledge … if there’s a ladder nearby just sprint to the ladder , wait for em to climb up to chase you and knock him off to his doom .
I see a lot of people are confused about this video. The reason you are confused is because you eight sat on the other side of the room and threw a million fire bombs, or sat on the other side of the room and used magic. He chose to actually challenge himself and be good at the game. Salute
If you run up to the spider, turn left, and lean against the wall next to the spiders feet, it can't hit you and will just swing unity it randomly drops down. I was just laughing the entire fight.
If you fought Old Monk while online, it wouldn't have been an AI-controlled NPC. While online the Old Monk boss becomes another player. Old Monk was the franchise's first ever PvP boss.
You had me laughing the whole video, amazing. Also, your voice sounds oddly similar to Bo Burnham's voice. Keep up the hilarious and informative content!
I did exactly the same thing in 4-1, what a nightmare. I did eventually win the fight and would recommend pine resin in the second half of the fight; it staggers the enemy when he tries to regenerate his health - he’ll keep rolling and if you trap him by a wall you can finish him off with no repercussions.
The Old Monk fight is actually meant to be played online. An actual player gets summoned to be the Monk. Also, if you do the Penetrator fight the way it was set up to be done, it's one of the easiest in the game. You aren't meant to solo it (and I am not talking about online co-op). But you can. Also, why mention the Regenerator Ring while wearing the DSS on your back, when you could have been wearing the Adjudicator's Shield on your back? Even when you don't meet the requirements, you still get the regen. And lastly, Leechmonger? WTF? He's one of the top three easiest bosses, if not the easiest in the entire game. All you need to do is use anything fire... Here's the real list, from most difficult, to least: 1. Maneaters (due to random AI that spazzes out and very bad hitboxes and an awful "arena") 2. Flamelurker (due to randomness and very bad hitboxes) 3. Allant 4. Armor Spider 5. Old Hero 6. Tower Knight 7. Old Monk (could be number one if human) 8. Penetrator 9. Astraea 10. Dirty Colossus 11. Vanguard 12. Adjudicator 13. Storm King 14. Fool's Idol 15. Leechmonger The named Black Phantoms are harder than basically every one of these bosses that are not in the top four if you fight them straight up. Although Soul Remains works on them, so they become irrelevant.
Garl Vinland is her knight, she was a preist but became a demon to help the people of the valley of defilement even though she basically did nothing, also why is garl hiding in a pile of corpses
Im going to assume that you werent very high leveled for Leechmonger, including your weapon level, because he is generally known as one of the easier bosses. Also fire helps a lot. Pretty decent list though
Damn Leachmonger at #1 Though I suppose that could be possible but I've only played through OG Demons Souls one time as a Mage and I ripped it a new one with my Soul Ray... Plus the Valley of Defilement was one of the last places I went and I already had sunk many points into Magic and More Magic so I was able to poke at the Leachmonger from a distance and it never touched me. Yay magic!
I've only beaten the first two bosses from each world so far, but my current ranking would go: 1. Flamelurker 2. Maneaters 3. Armour Spider 4. Leechmonger 5. Dirty Colossus 6. Fool's Idol 7. Adjudicator 8. Tower Knight 9. Old Hero 10. Phalanx Leechmonger is an awkward one to rank, because he's an absolute flannel as long as you have just a couple of black pine resins, but is an absolute pain in the arse if you don't. Even then though, Flamelurker and the Maneaters still trump him by a country mile.
Please i have. The same problem in 4-1 with the black phantom sataski he always one shot me I finished every other world how can I defeat him please 😭💔 ?
I don't have a PS5 yet, so can't confirm the following, but knowing that the Devs kept the original Ai scripts, and by the looks of it, a lot of the original map designs, I can say with near certainty that a number of the "harder" bosses can be cheesed rather humorously. ~cough~ Thief's Ring ~cough~ Flamelurker
I always found souls games to be very strange in their boss encounters. Not because of the actual encounter but because how each boss can be harder for different people. for Example the Blood-starved beast from bloodborne. I had the hardest time with him for a while until I realized dodging to the left is key for victory, but some others have a much easier time with them. And yet, people still try to justify that your hard boss fight is wrong because they had a much harder time with a boss than you did with that same boss. I can't tell if the community is toxic or decent lol
IMO that's a sign of a good RPG; different players are able to have vastly different playstyles, hence why there's so much variety in how much people struggle against different bosses and levels. Personally in Bloodborne I found that I was making mincemeat out of some of the conventionally harder bosses like Ebrietas and Lady Maria, but the ONE boss from the base game who stumped me the most (to the extent that I actually abandoned my first playthrough) was the Shadow of Yharnam, despite it generally taking a fairly low spot on the average difficulty ranking
@@Scrummy64 Oh yeah I completely agree, and not gonna lie I had difficulty with the Shadows as well until I got better with my parrying and realized that they are super vulnerable with it. And I know I talked about the Blood-Starved Beast in my comment, but that was because it was the most common one, that I have noticed, most players had difficulty with, but I had such a hard time with Martyr Logarius. Idk I just couldn't get his timing down in his second or thirdish phase lol
I don't dabble in the magic but for demons souls I decided to have it as a bonus option. My build was shit so every boss was way harder then they had to be and my magic damage was basically the worst thing ever for them with the exception of leechmonger and dirty colossus. Basically it was worthless the whole game for me so I couldn't cheese fights even if I wanted to so every fight was the hardest fight because of my poor management

Oh shit that was so true.
leachmonger just dies to fire. I've never even been in that fight long enough to see him heal because he just burns that quickly.
Wait that was actually a boss, ot died within 15 seconds for me it might as well have been a environmental hazard
tbh everything but the three Digger King bosses die to fire. Fire is OP in this game.
Other than the second area, the dragon long sword can carry you through the entire game with ease
Pretty much everything dies easily to fire except Flamelurker I'd assume. Firestorm is OP as shit.
Doesn’t even have to be fire I shot 90 arrows at him and never saw him do anything but throw leeches at a nearby cliff side.
In terms of how much of a wild card leechmonger is, a lot of people consider him effortless.
Classic sunburned albino. Destroys old king, dies to leech
In the origional game hes REALLY weak to fire damage, same with the colossus
@@MasterAlt he is REALLY weak to fire here too:D
tbh none of the demon's souls bosses are hard so it wasn't saying much that he's the hardest
Firestorm makes quick work of him
Tbh sometimes it's just an issue of approach or build.
Bloodborne bosses mostly killed me around 2-4 times, but the hardest one in the whole game for me was Lawrence from the dlc. Not Ludwig. Lawrence.
It's because my build was all strength and I'd built for the stake driver and buzz axe, and just never got much *range* so when he was half dead and spewing lava everywhere I couldn't figure out a way to hit him consistently without getting trapped in the lava pools.
Lawrence killed me 11 times.
Most players probably have no issue with him, but I could deal with almost everything else decently.
The Old Monk's robe is actually the demon
that's why he looks confused when it leaves him, and why you get the soul when you kill the phantom
Someone noticed the details \o/
Also the old monk is most likely a reference to The King in Yellow by Robert Chambers, a contemporary/inspiration to Lovecraft and his mythos (who we know From are big fans of!)
Where is the shock pick that albino has every video
1: leechmonger

Or the flame long sword from area 2
For the most part, his 1st place boss always gives me a wtf moment, but I do agree with this one since Leechmknger can fuck you up if you are low on materials and have low dps.
@@snowouroboros9250 or don't know you can cheese him with fire or sniping from above
@@DarkSymphony777 I don't usually acknowledge cheesing bosses and fire damage does also go in line with dps.

... so that was the Anti-Sunburned Albino boss, classic Kevin
Leechmonger is weak to fire. If you switch it up to ranged damage, you can kill it from the ledge without taking a single hit. Dropping down into the swamp is the WORST thing you can do against Leechmonger.
One of the easiest fights in the game.
Seriously. It is right next to Maiden Astraea
Bruh why are y’all surprised. I was numb to the shock pick ever since he put Oceirus at #1
We've been graced with another boss ranking!
AYEEEEEEEE BEEN WAITING ON THIS! watching right now
No. 2: Maneaters
Me: Wait, whats No. 1 suppose to be?
Sees the No. 1 spot
"...wut"
ikr he said that oceiros the consumed king was harder than nameless king and soc. I could make an arguement that the deacons of the deep is harder than oceiros
The buildup for the Penetrator had a wonderful release
Albino: "No.1 Leechmonger"
Pine Resin: "... Am I a joke to you?"
Black Turpentine just fuckin' slaughters Leechmonger

“You fool don’t you understand no I skipped the cut scene and this is a souls game” I love it that’s so true
cant wait to see the black phantom at the top of the list
edit: welp guess he has too much ptsd to add it and would rather talk about it
The "what if sludge could think." Quip is so true.
Not gonna hold y'all I had a really easy time with my first playthrough but ng+ has been brutal so far lol I love it
I called that joke with Penetrator and I still died hearing it. Love your stuff man. Long time follower.
excellent delivery, as usual
"I think this is supposed to be the hardest boss in the game but its 4th" lmao fuckin roasted
Feel like this is different depending on your class, approach & items. Dealt with leechmonger really easily with magic & firebombs. hardest bosses imo are the penetrator, Tower Knight, Maneater & Flamelurker (not necessarily in that order)
Your commentary on “character get up time” is sooo good haha
I'm so happy to see this so soon
12:20 The Fat Official just by the Tunnel City (Armor Spider) archstone commonly drops 1 or even 2 Full Moon Grass, I ended up with 99 of them just from grinding for a gold coin. You never ever need to grind souls to buy healing items after beating the Armor Spider.
You can do the same thing for MP by getting 2 Fresh Spice of 1 Aged Spice from each of the 3 easily-accessible Jailers near the Tower of Latria archstone, after unlocking a couple of doors.
Also the blue eye knights at the tower knight arch stone always drop healing items half or full moon I think
It took me until false king Allant to start thinking, "No. There's no way he'd put Leechmonger at #1."
Is the Leechmonger Albino’s Rom of Demon Souls?
Your writing and commentary are leagues ahead for creators playing these types of games
I haven't played the remake,but when I played the original Demon's Souls, I entered the Leechmonger bossfight accidentally and with no prep I could kill it first try usong only one grass. The tradition continues, Albino will always have that ez boss which ue struggles with xD, great vid btw

The old monk boss actually summons any players in the area trying to be summoned to fight so its actually a pvp fight if your online and if you win as the monks champion you get the head wrap as a helmet
just so you know the old monk is a human sometimes. if you stand in the room you'll be summoned and be the boss for someone else

14. Fool's Idol
15. Leechmonger
The named Black Phantoms are harder than basically every one of these bosses that are not in the top four if you fight them straight up. Although Soul Remains works on them, so they become irrelevant.
No one gonna make the meme comment of "WoW dIdNt InClUdE oLd KiNg DoRaN sO lAmE"?
Guess I'll do it.

"Leechmonger hardest boss"
Me as a mage: *uses firestorm* that was fast
“Man it sucks to be blind”
Me: it really does. Without my glasses I can only see colors
This commentary is hilarious. Subbed
Man i got stuck in maneater 10 times straight from a glitch where the 2nd one just flys off and doesn’t return
Looks like he beat that phantom...
Garl Vinland is her knight, she was a preist but became a demon to help the people of the valley of defilement even though she basically did nothing, also why is garl hiding in a pile of corpses
I barely moved from the boss fog and sniped the Leechmonger with the Lava Bow. He couldn’t do anything than regenerate, I was too high up.
Im going to assume that you werent very high leveled for Leechmonger, including your weapon level, because he is generally known as one of the easier bosses. Also fire helps a lot. Pretty decent list though
Why would you skip the cutscenes?
They last like a minute at most
My prayers have been answered.
Damn Leachmonger at #1
Though I suppose that could be possible but I've only played through OG Demons Souls one time as a Mage and I ripped it a new one with my Soul Ray... Plus the Valley of Defilement was one of the last places I went and I already had sunk many points into Magic and More Magic so I was able to poke at the Leachmonger from a distance and it never touched me.
Yay magic!
8:26 this probably just happened cuz I’m drunk, but I actually burst out laughing at that joke
Oh, i didn’t know you had to use the sword for the storm king fight 💀💀
I've only beaten the first two bosses from each world so far, but my current ranking would go:
1. Flamelurker
2. Maneaters
3. Armour Spider
4. Leechmonger
5. Dirty Colossus
6. Fool's Idol
7. Adjudicator
8. Tower Knight
9. Old Hero
10. Phalanx
Leechmonger is an awkward one to rank, because he's an absolute flannel as long as you have just a couple of black pine resins, but is an absolute pain in the arse if you don't. Even then though, Flamelurker and the Maneaters still trump him by a country mile.
Really shows me how the souls games are different for everyone. Leechmonger being hard for some, where some could beat False Alant easily.
Please i have. The same problem in 4-1 with the black phantom sataski he always one shot me I finished every other world how can I defeat him please 😭💔 ?
Apparently the Leechmonger is absolutely easy if you use fire resin or firebombs as he is weak to it. I haven’t tried this yet tho.
well idk if you played online but the phantom in the Old Monk fight could be an NPC or an actual player if you are online
I don't have a PS5 yet, so can't confirm the following, but knowing that the Devs kept the original Ai scripts, and by the looks of it, a lot of the original map designs, I can say with near certainty that a number of the "harder" bosses can be cheesed rather humorously.
~cough~ Thief's Ring ~cough~ Flamelurker
I always found souls games to be very strange in their boss encounters. Not because of the actual encounter but because how each boss can be harder for different people. for Example the Blood-starved beast from bloodborne. I had the hardest time with him for a while until I realized dodging to the left is key for victory, but some others have a much easier time with them. And yet, people still try to justify that your hard boss fight is wrong because they had a much harder time with a boss than you did with that same boss. I can't tell if the community is toxic or decent lol
IMO that's a sign of a good RPG; different players are able to have vastly different playstyles, hence why there's so much variety in how much people struggle against different bosses and levels.
Personally in Bloodborne I found that I was making mincemeat out of some of the conventionally harder bosses like Ebrietas and Lady Maria, but the ONE boss from the base game who stumped me the most (to the extent that I actually abandoned my first playthrough) was the Shadow of Yharnam, despite it generally taking a fairly low spot on the average difficulty ranking
@@Scrummy64 Oh yeah I completely agree, and not gonna lie I had difficulty with the Shadows as well until I got better with my parrying and realized that they are super vulnerable with it. And I know I talked about the Blood-Starved Beast in my comment, but that was because it was the most common one, that I have noticed, most players had difficulty with, but I had such a hard time with Martyr Logarius. Idk I just couldn't get his timing down in his second or thirdish phase lol
Storm King might not be too difficult, but it's definitely one of the best fights in the game.
I've not played the PS5 remake, so pardon if I notice just now that in the thumbnail, _why does Tower Knight have a greatshield codpiece?_
There it is boys. The Sunburned Albino Rom. We got it.
I don't dabble in the magic but for demons souls I decided to have it as a bonus option. My build was shit so every boss was way harder then they had to be and my magic damage was basically the worst thing ever for them with the exception of leechmonger and dirty colossus. Basically it was worthless the whole game for me so I couldn't cheese fights even if I wanted to so every fight was the hardest fight because of my poor management
