I like the inclusion of a little lore on the bosses
Yeah, this made it a lot more enjoyable to watch
Agreed
Agreed, this made it for me too. Good work @SquillaKilla
3:16 The cloth attached to the Blood-starved Beast is the skin from its back that falls back forward from being flayed. We see a couple of werewolf crucified and tortured here and there in Yharnam.
Wild you even had to point that out ...
@@techdeth, right? It's even obvious in the footage used.
I was boutta mention that. Cujos to beating me to it.
ya it's a dissected body
Having micolash and one reborn above gascoigne is an actually insane take
Bro actually said Laurence was the hardest boss ☠️☠️☠️
@@momenmomo3879he's right tho
Bruh father g is so easy you get like a 4 month window to parry him
@@momenmomo3879the guy no hits all the games I think he gets a say more than you 💀
No dude. I died to fsther5 Gascoigne only once. But I did Cleric Beast first. Lawrence first try as well. Ludwig 5/6 tries and Orphan of Kos definitely took more than ant other boss. Lady Maria was insanely easy to learn except for second phase which threw me off. Gehrman wasn't hard either but that's because I went to him after DLC. So List is very subjective but consensus of Majority is that Orphan is definitely the hardest. I would place Ludwig above or equal to Lawrence and Lady Maria to follow.
Never played bloodborne in my life but this was still entertaining
GO PLAY IT!
Deluxe edition 20 bucks right now go buy it I just did
Comes with dlc too
go ahead and play it, it's insanely good
Buy me the game
A Boss tierlist AND brief lore summaries for each?
Squilla spoiling us here, my lord this is great
I struggled way more with Lawrence than i did orphan and lady Maria. I'm not good with 1 hit kill attacks lol
Lawrence was by far the toughest.
me too, lawrence was the hardest fight of the DLC, dont care what anyone says.
Agreed
I just couldnt get his dodge timing down, and he did insane amounts of damage
@@chrislaverick6413 first phase was fine but second fucked me up
Bloodborne will forever be my favorite game of all time. The crazy part is the bosses of bloodborne are probably it's weakest component which just goes to show how great the game is
The areas are ass too, the bosses are really subpar until the dlc, least build variety in the series. It ain’t that great a game
@@mihiyouth12I agree it’s decent , ds3 sekiro and elden ring are all better
@@mihiyouth12yo areas ass? Bloodborne just kills all souls games. Ds3 is really good and Sekiro too. But bloodborne has a different thing. I feel the story inside me. Other games just don’t make me feel that way. That’s why ı think everyone love bloodborne the most and me to. For me bloodborne is the best souls game
@@Diabeticninja90nah bloodborne is way more playable. I just played elden ring for 90 hours and finished 2 times and got bored. Sekiro 40 hours o will play again. Sekiro was amazing. And ds3 45 hours and ı will play it again to. But bloodborne. Ahh always make goosebumps. I played it like 170 hours and finish it like 15 times and still want to play. Bloodborne is different. If you don’t feel that feeling you will not like bloodborne at all.
@@Subtobnb835 subjective I beat it twice and got bored it’s underwhelming compared to elden ring , elden bosses ARE WAYYYYY better too , shit even sekiro bosses are better
great tie list , love it cuz of the little lore you gave away, the "why is that boss hard" and overall argumenting about it ... well done ... and lets not forget one of the most well to listen voices in youtube ... :)
this is a fantastic tier list. you do a great job listing them and detailing their lore and gameplay justifying there spot. I especially like the Daddy Dascoigne bit.
14:47 the timing of that scream is wonderful
BSB being that low is crazy. I honestly find Maria, Gehrman, and countless others easier than her somehow.
Blood cocktails and flame paper really melt her
Ludwig is still my favourite video game boss of all time
Same bro.
Isn't he a chalice boss though at least the mom light sword is right
@@conservativecarnage3783 he's a DLC Boss
Second phase is pure magic, but I always wonder if people even take into account his first phase saying about him as their favourite, because first phase isn't very amazing ngl.
@@BBQcheese nah, it's not weird at all, just different taste. At least your claiming about Ludwig as favourite Boss in Bloodborne is completely understandable, because you like both phases (am I right?), while many of people who find Ludwig as number one Boss in Bloodborne/series like only phase two (which means they like only 50% of their "favourite" fight), so they are much more weird than you :P
For example, Friede is my number one because I love all three of her phases. I know that many people don't like second phase, but I like it very much, so I have reasonably choosed favourite Boss.
i platinumed bloodbourne a few years back and this is the first time i’ve ever seen this lore. awesome vid, thx for blessing my feed
Good video. I enjoyed my time watching. The small lore bits made it even more entertaining.
Personally I would rank quite a few bosses differently but I am also not challenge running the game which does change the perspective a lot.
Anyway I can agree with your placements and reasoning for it. Good job
I love that you included lore, best boss ranking video i have ever seen I swear
Been waiting for you to post a Bloodborne boss list. This video is awesome.🔥💯
Amazing video Squilla and I agree completely with your top 3.
Celestial emissaries give me more trouble than I’d like to admit 💀
For me it was father G idk why hunters are so hard to fight
i wouldnt worry so much dude, rom is the bane of my life. i can kill kos easier than rom. to this day i struggle killing rom first try and i have beaten this wonderful game countless times. something about roms fight just doesnt click with me.
Oh yeah father G gets me too I have an easy time on Maria usually but father G buggers me same with Rom too lad he messes me up baaad
@@brandond3159 honestly have no idea why, have an easier time with much "harder" bosses but put that fucking spider next to me and im just dead, the one in the half health dungeons can fuck right off. died to him way more than the base game or DLC bosses.
@@rhyswhittington8759 ahahahaha we all got our cryptonite - Crystal sage ds3 don’t bring that little cretin anywhere near me I will cry
I finally decided to do all the story chalices, and they're actually a lot more fun that I thought. Later ones have really scaled up enemies that hit like it's NG+, and there's a bunch of chalice dungeon unique enemies and situations the game puts you in that are fun. Plus there's this one chalice that nerfs your health massively that makes it so you have to do it super safe, and the bosses get a bit recontextualized in them even though it a lot are from the base game. Coming off just finishing all bosses NG+6 (the max) with only DLC winter lantern bloodgems I though all the chalices where going to be a cakewalk, and I was wrong. NG+6 was a blast too. You have to do the DLC bosses nearly hitless, but not completely and you can't just one combo everything even with beast blood pellets. But because you don't have to be perfectly hitless, and you get a lot more stamina vs say BL4 you can approach the fights just a tad more aggressively. It's less stressful than hitless or BL4 I would think too. I haven't done BL4 or hitless so I'm not totally sure, and I don't think I'd even try hitless NG+6 was rough enough. I'll probably do BL4 at some point though. That sounds pretty fun.
Very well done video, love the lore attached!
Bloodborne is my favourite. Beat it about 12 times, and two times at Bl4. As much as I would love a sequel, it probably won’t happen, like Sekiro 2, Dark Souls 4 or Elden Ring 2. Still, I can’t wait to see what kind of weird and surprising game they are gonna come up with.
ER2 is already confirmed lol
@@andrewevitts2870doesn’t look like it though, I only see ´articles’ about vague rumours.
Sequel makes absolutely no sense and would fuck with the story in a big way. A prequel makes much more sense. Maybe where we play as Gehrman or Gascoigne or hell any of the storied NPCs
ds4 will never ever happen unfortunately
@@Sittlebat I'd want a ds2 remake done the way demon souls on ps5 was done. Still my favorite of the 3 and I've been playing since demon souls 2009 at release. Bloodborne prequel would make lots of sense.
The fact you explained the lore with them made my month man
How has one of the greatest souls players of all time not done chalice dungeons!
Fantastic video. Please do this for all the games, if you haven't already done so.
Love the content I'm curious if you'll be trying lies of p at all I want to see a true speedrun of that game
I love this game, and your ranking being not only based on the fight, but also explaining the bosses origins is amazing.
For instance, I would have never connected that Shadows of Yharnam is not referring to the place, but to Queen Yharnam.
It makes a lot of sense and makes me appreciate this video even more.
As always, Squilla does justice to an extraordinary game. Much appreciated.
I love watching heyzeusherestoast. Love that you credited him.
I'm about to end my first play throug, and you mentioned a lot of lore things that I didn't know, great video tho
"As servants of the Queen, they yearn for her blood, with little hope of receiving it" Well that is a very elaborate and polite way of calling them simps :D
A pleasantly comprehensive list, although cleric beast above Paarl is odd (no aoe's, literally 3 attacks, very forgiving hitboxes), and mergo and moon presence above gehrman is eye catching (one of those took me 8 hours and it wasnt mergo)
You can cheese Laurence in second Phase by standing behind his hairy arm. You Position yourself as soon as he loses his legs, then you go for 2 hits at that arm max (keep an eye to your stamina) then he wil swing around backwards wich you dodge forward into and you should be just in the right position again. You can repeat that cycle for the whole Phase bacause Laurence will always repeat the same attack as long as you are standing behind that arm. That was my speedrun strat wich worked perfectly.
Nice list, for my personal experience in various build i would increase paarl close before amygdala, it's easy but his agility is a pain for many build.
The only other one i'm in disagreement it's lady Maria and Ludwig, mylady it's hard but I still have problem against Ludwig because it's hard to stagger and the camere is a pain, when you learn lady Maria patterns and pay attention to her charged attack on phase 2-3 you can demolish her.
BTW nice video and edit and I love the lore explanation, it's something most of players ignore about this wonderful game.
Your video is incredible as always, a little shocked Father Gascoigne being so low on the list though.
to this day, my biggest achievement in gaming is the BL4 all bosses run. orphan took ~400+ tries
Nicely done! My BL4 run was admittedly a bit half assed, only did the base game but I was still proud of it. Personally, the longest I spent on a single boss was NG+Max Laurence. Even at 99 vitality there was such little room for error
I totally agree with you, Laurence was my wall and the last boss to kill to get that sweet sweet platinum trophy.
no need to kill bosses from the dlc to get the platinum trophy
Lawrence made me think over my life choises
Only change to the list I would make is placing Bloodstarved Beast higher. She was my largest roadblock on first play-through.
yeah it's not easy at all, maybe for experts but for most people it's a tough fight
It’s my top 5 hardest fights alongside Gael, midir and Ludwig!! Bloodstarved beast made me give up for months 😂
In the lady maria fight, you can chain stunlock her using auger of ebrietas
The ranking of all bosses!
For me, looking at the game outside of challenge running as a perspective, as I believe each challenge run would have its own tier list because challenge run failure states are independent of game failure states, this my list of bosses easiest to hardest.
Edit: I think I forgot to write in Darkbeast Paarl! Well there goes my opinions lol.
XXII: Witch of Hemwick - relative to player development she is more or less a regular enemy, that is cloaked, and you can eliminate all of her adds by entering the boss fight with 0 insight.
XXI: Father Gascoigne - As mentioned in my other comment, the game gives you the music box, which cripples him so thoroughly, that it's barely even a boss. His beastform is also hyper weak to fire. He can also be visceral exploited through the stair rail into falling through the map (though he's already so easy I don't know why people came up with this).
XX: Celestial Emissary - Relative to player development, this is an insanely easy boss. It's just a few adds and a big mode of a regular enemy again. It's not impossible to lose to, but loss would be very rare.
XIX: Bloodstarved Beast - He's more or less a lesson in not facing beasts head on. As long as you're familiar with the sidestep/forward step behind motions you can do when locked on, you can negate almost his entire moveset with sidestepping past him. On top of that, he's super weak to fire, and you can pick up the flamesprayer and kill him with it alone. He's also easy to bait with pungent blood cocktails. The area leading up to him also gives some antidotes to deal with his poison aura.
XVIII: Amygdala - The first boss that comes to mind when I think of gun builds. A +3 Repeating Pistol with base stats to wield and bone marrow ash can kill it with the exactly amount of bullets/ash you can carry, without you even going in to visceral it, which, why wouldn't you?
XVII: Cleric Beast - I only rate this one as harder than the last, due to the player's development/progress versus access to him. It is actually completely possible to encounter the Cleric Beast without any weapons, even on a first playthrough, if you just run past all of the enemies and excel at dodging. Killing him with your barehands and barely any resources is like an endgame level challenge. Even entering the dream or picking up the saw spear doesn't deal with his moveset for you, and if you're intent on fighting him without a gun, then it's pretty hard to trigger his visceral stagger, though it can be done with knives and pebbles you may have collected throughout early Yharnam.
XVI: Mergo's Wet Nurse - This boss would have been a lot more challenging if you'd encountered it sooner or in a smaller arena. Step around to its side, and it's cheesy easy. You often have enough damage potential that you can kill it without seeing the shadows phase.
XV: Micolash Host of The Nightmare - Uhh, he has like three gimmicks. Teleporting away from you, Augur of Ebrietas tentacle, and Call from Beyond. This is another scenario where he might kill you once or twice, but you're so OP by the time you reach him, you're just as likely to kill him without even seeing his most devastating attack. He does have some adds that be kind of irritating in his first fight room, but they aren't major impediments.
XIV: Rom the Vacuous Spider - Basically another chase boss. If you get too far away his magic meteors can be devastating, and his spider adds to possess a one hit kill throat cut, but that's pretty much it. You can also use things like the flamesprayer to attack him effectively through his face, if you somehow have trouble digging into his long meaty sides.
XIII: Darkbeast Paarl - He has a diverse moveset that attacks the player at range as well as upclose, so if you don't keep him pinned down by breaking his limbs or by (apparently, I did not know this info!) throwing a pungent blood cocktail, then he can be devastating. Especially relative to player development.
XII: Vicar Amelia - She's pretty tough for potentially being your second boss. She has a big increase versus any boss before her in damage, and your tools may not be upgraded much either. The Numbing Mist is limited and non-purchasable without having delved into Chalices to a certain degree iirc too, so if you're too weak to outpace her healing with raw damage, you can wind up stuck on her. This only ever happened to me on my attempts at going through Bloodborne without ever entering The Dream. You will really feel how much stronger studier she is than Gascoigne, Cleric, or Bloodstarved beasts.
XI: One Reborn - Honestly, he could probably be considered easier than a few bosses I listed before him, as I have a tendency to forget he exists until I'm playing through Blood Moon Yarhar'gul. You take out his bell wenches and then break his limbs, while also shooting/visceraling his "head." He's basically a damage sponge with a few weird surprises. Could probably honestly move him down to between Mergo and Micolash. He's easy. Damn.
X: Moon Presence - Uhh, this thing is a joke outside of self imposed challenge. In any standard playthrough, the move that reduces you to 1 HP is just HP you regain by beating on it while it stands still via Rally. It can hit you with something that inhibits healing, but I've never seen it. It does hit pretty hard though, and isn't completely effortless.
Part 3 coming up soon! I think I'm near the character limit for comments
It's crazy how different this tierlist is to mine. But that's the beauty of fromsoft's games, everbody has a different experience.
bro BSB was so hard for lmao prolly cuz on my first few attempts I burnt through my paper, pellets, and cocktails… I had to beat him with just an axe and some pills lmao
yo how did you get the cinematic gameplay, cause IDK how to
the blood starved beast’s flaps are the result of hunters flaying (skinning) beasts. Shits mad gross 2/10 would not recommend.
15:36 I think the flowers represent Moon Presence, a.k.a. Paleblood and Flora, the flowers here hinting at the Flora nickname.
Laurence is a fucking beast and absolutely deserves his place on the list. He has SO FEW opportunities to safely deal damage to him and on ng+ he hits like a freight train. Even at 50 vit he can do 80% of your health or straight up one shot you from full if he gets counter damage on you. Which happens all the fucking time bc his slams all have sizable AOE fire blast. There are some moves you can safely dodge through for a damage window. But he has a habit of baiting you with single attacks only to tack on additional hits when you decide to commit to an attack. Also limb breaking him barely increases damage to him, which sucks bc his health pool is massive
I have always fought the Cleric Beast first since this game first came out. I thought it was the first boss for the longest time
PLEASE DO A RANKING/CHALLENGE RUN OF LIES OF P!
It is an amazing game that is the closest thing to a fromsoft souls game that has ever been released. If you told me it was made by fromsoft I would completely believe you.
The pure quality and refinement in a 30-40 hour package fresh new game is simply beyond belief. It combines the best parts of Sekiro, Bloodborne, and The Souls Games all in one game.
Please check it out!!!
I too was surprised by no chalice dungeon bosses. The chalice version of Paarl (Loran Darkbeast) made me rage quit pretty hard. Camera fail, Paarl constantly jumping around, and I couldn't get the roll timing through his AoE attacks, which were one-shotting me.
Loran Darkbeast was HARD. Also Abhorrent Beast wasnt exactly a cakewalk either.
@@vycanismajoris6871 Yeah I was so proud when I finally beat Abhorrent Beast, I thought "well the next boss is probably gonna feel easy by comparison." I actually sold my PS4 after a few days of getting super pissed off by Loran Darkbeast, like "what am I doing with my life?" vibes
I’ve never seen the move that caused you to have one heal point when I fought the moon presence
Despite how difficult she is I still managed to take down Maria first try. That being said she had me on the ropes for the entire fight, went in with full blood vials, came out empty and ended up exhausting all the other healing items as well
do the ranking for every soulsborne
It's interesting how Lawrence looks like the first boss that you face only on fire lol
One reborn being so high up is crazy. I personally died the most times to the blood starved beast than any boss so seeing in in 3rd is funny
The blood starved beast's head covering is it's own flayed skin
Awesome video! Love the lore. Only disagreements are that Laurence is too high and BSB too low
Laurence was also the hardest boss for me hands down and I still have trouble with him to this day despite having beat the game 20+ times.
Alot we disagree on, which is fun. Here is my ranking based on 50+ playthroughs closing in on 1000 hours. Including BL4 and playthrough with every weapon including torch and Fist of gratia.
22. Celestial Emissary
21. Witches of Hemwick
20. Living Failures
19. Amygdala
18. The One Reborn
17. Cleric Beast
16. Darkbeast Paarl
15. Mergo’s Wet Nurse
14. Blood Starved Beast
13. Vicar Amelia
12. Rom The Vacuous Spider
11. Micolash
10. Moon Presence
9. Shadow of Yharnam
8. Ebrietas
7. Lady Maria
6. Martyr Logarius
5. Gehrman
4. Ludwig
3. Orphan
2. Gascoigne
1. Laurence
Did youo forget the base game tells you the sky is their home? It's not just water.
I beat Lawrence first try on my first playthrough but orphan I was stuck on for DAYS.
That happens a lot on these games depending on the player: for me, Laurence was the hardest boss in the game but I beat orphan first try.
i recently made my first Bloodborne playthrough ever, and got the plat trophy in 8 days. Coming almost with little to no break from the Dark Souls 3 platinum, i was already in good shape and mechanically formatted to souls games, and didnt have that many problems adapting to Bloodborne and it's relatively faster gameplay. Ended up rushing through most of the bosses with ease, and even 1st-try most of the early game bosses (like Cleric Beast, Gascoine, Blood-starved, Paarl, Amilia.... and Martyr, Ludwig, and Moon Presence, later down the line), 2nd-try bosses like Micolash, Lady Maria, Gherman, Ebrietas, with the only two bosses in the game that killed me twice being Laurence and Wet Nurse (cuz of Nightmare phase)....................................
...... And then, there's Orphan of Kos. I died probably over 50 times to that fucking stupid ass little shit, cursed him and his creators to oblivion, and even started calling him freaking Abortion of Kos at some stage of my salty screeches. Man, fuck that boss.
His screams still echo'ed in my brain on a loop for hours after i was done with him. I hated him. Every second of him.
Lady Maria can be cheeses pretty hard. Parry get one/two hits depending on weapon speed, dodge back which baits 90 percent of the time a slow overhead slam parry repeat
Will you play Lies of P?
3 of the 5 of the easiest bosses on your list are probably the ones I struggled with the most on my first playthrough. Especially rom
cleric beast above darkbeast paarl and bsb is nuts dude
I mean this is definitely a unique list, a little all over the place difficulty wise if you ask me
Laurence does have the highest health pool and I heard that in highest difficulty ng + 6 or 7 some of his attacks will instant kill you.
Imo, I find Ebrietas harder than any other boss.
Love the video tho, great to mix in a bit of lore. :)
Perhaps it’s just me, but I first tried shadows and Amelia on my first playthrough, and struggled with Paarl and Rom immensely
Great video
i dont know if i was too much over leveled for lady maria's fight but it was a complete cakewalk even on my first playthrough. i wasn't even doging the attacks you can just tank them and back away a little bit to heal. i seriously dont get what is so special about this bossfight.
Bro actually said micolash is harder than father G
Not everyone says laurence is the hardest, but I fully agree great vid
Idk how but i beat orphan on my first try try byt Lawrence had taken me like 6+ hours... so frustrating
This is one of the only rankings I’ve seen as far as difficulty where BSB is ranked so low. Which I personally agree with because I’ve never had any issues with them but they seem to be rather difficult for many users. To me they are one of the easiest boss to just dodge behind and wail on . Same with the wet nurse
darkbeast paarl is also one where i see it rated very low but i dont agree on that one, the difficulty completely depends on when you fight him. i fought him early because i gfot kidnapped and he is really difficult if you cant do much damage.
IX. Living Failures - They're hard enough that people came up for exploits for them or talk about kiting them. A lot of folks have trouble dealing with mob bosses that don't die individually really quickly. You can block their unified meteor summon with the center sunflower. I know a ton of people who "are embarrassed to admit" that they died to these 2nd or 3rd most compared to the other DLC bosses.
VIII. Shadows of Yharnam - I feel like I'm copying your list a little subconsciously in how I order some of these, but these guys are the base game's mob boss, and they're actually orchestrated in a very respectable way since they each have their own movesets and style. It's the kind of mob boss that's easier to appreciate, compared to say, Godskin Duo. I also really like that they each have their own healthbar, so you can't just milk one to kill all three.
VII. Lady Maria - So, she's a small humanoid boss, and what I find about Bloodborne and the people playing it, is that they overestimate bosses like her, because a lot of the more skilled players play by adhering to meta analyzed weaponry or speedrun context of you only upgraded one thing so you're assumed to be using that etc. But in standard play you're welcome to upgrade weapons for the occasion, and Lady Maria is quite susceptible to mild stagger from weapons that transform into larger/2handed weapons i.e. Hunter's Axe, Ludwig's Holy Blade, Kirkhammer etc. You can actually interrupt a lot of her non-channeled swings and attacks by hitting her with a big weapon R1. This doesn't remove all of the challenge, but I've literally had people tell me I'm cheating by doing that lol.
VI. Gehrman The First Hunter - Similarly to Maria, I find that people overestimate his difficulty, because he has a lot of punishing moves if you're fishing for visceral shots or just hitting him with the saw cleaver. You as the player can achieve nearly the same reach as Gehrman if you use Hunter's Axe L2s. He is one of the sad old men at the end Souls games that is actually a challenge though.
V. Ebrietas, Daughter of The Cosmos - One of the harder bosses in the game. Thankfully weak to being shot in the face with bone marrow ash. Has a ton of health though, so unless you're heavily invested in bloodtinge, you're not Amygdalaing this one. But repeating pistol +9 or 10 with bone marrow ash does get her setup up for juicy viscerals, and can really come in clutch too.
IV. Martyr Logarius - He actually is sort of in line with both Maria and Gehrman as a boss that you can interrupt with big weapon swings. Couple that with the fact that gunshots will actually divert and miss like half the time you shoot at him, couple with his strange slight elevation changes arena, and he very much reads like he may have at one point in time been considered to be last boss material over Gehrman. They even both use scythes.
III. Ludwig, the Accursed - What an opening boss to the DLC! He's rough. Especially phase 1. I find his phases to be inverted. Basically if you make it to phase 2, then you practically win. His swings are a bit weird, and his big charged beam explosion can one shot you, but he's also easier to get behind and bring down.
II. Laurence, The First Vicar - He has a crap ton of HP, and the lava phase 2 that he emits is crazy movement/attack denial. I don't rate him harder than Orphan though. He deals less damage by a fair amount, and you can catch a breather if you're careful.
I. Orphan of Kos - this is still the hardest boss in all of Souls in my opinion. The amount of time people have dedicated to exploits and glitches to remove his difficulty speaks volumes. Imagine if they revisited him in a patch, and removed all of those exploits/glitches. I can't even be objective about this one. This guy rocked my shit so hard, I gave up on beating Bloodborne for a couple of months, and went to play other games.
And I think I missed a boss somewhere, will have to check through the list and edit it.
I must say, Elden Ring is my first souls game, and I loved every second of it which made me play Bloodborne. However, I must say I find it that the bosses in the base game are a lot easier these excepted. Either way loved it!
I found gherman pretty easy because up to that point the game thought me that the only way to dodge was forward and he'd just get confused and let me give him a hit or two but idk if I'm just getting lucky with the AI. The other is moon presence, you can dodge the 1hp attack completely by looking away from it apparently and just not take damage
I never get why Laurance is placed so high in the list. I did him last on my first playthrough snd it only feld anticlimactic after Orphan. It's definitely not a bad boss, but it was usually easy to keep my distance to think, find lsrge attack and healing openings and even tank quite a bit. It feld like a really chill fight compared to Maria and Orphan, that always keep you on your feet. Might just be because I was already high level and because I wasnt going for hitless, but Laurance just wasn't hard. Same goes for Micolash, he's close to the easiest biss for me, the greatest challange being not to get lost in his mansion. But after that his attacks are rsther easy to dodge and the skeletons don't really pose a thread as they are rather slow.
I am not a BB gigachad and got my ass handed by Vicar Emilia, BSB and Kos quite brutally on the first run, but it's just interesting, how large the difference in experience is.
I actually like some psrts of the challange dungeons. There are fun bosses and the odea isn't bad. Just figuring out how to actually descend further and further fekd very cryptic and took me wuite some time.
If you don't space laurence and just try to dodge his attacks he much harder and his timing is way tighter
Trust me, that's what I thought about Laurence too.
Until his NG+, easily most frustrating boss up with Amygdala.
People always talking about ludwig and kosm, it took me like 2-3 tries for them, But Laurence was the real struggle
I'm surprised to see The One Reborn so high up the list. Outside of the witches thought it was the easiest. I don’t even both with the fireball spammers
I believe soul of cinder is more complex/has more moves than laurence
He does have more moves, but the issue with Laurence (and I don’t think he’s a bad boss, for the record) is that he’s a combination of large health pool and fast attacks that hit like a truck. For me personally, it’s not so much that his moves are difficult to learn it’s that the fight takes so long and I just slip up at some point and when I do it’s enough to kill me. Soul of Cinder on the other hand, while being more complex, is also fairly easy to beat in pure damage output by that point in the game. I’ve beaten both multiple times and think both are really cool in their own way, but I think Laurence is more of a pain in the ass by quite a wide margin.
@@staggerlee7301 yeah, I mean it depends. I feel like laurence becomes much easier once you learn him, whereas cinder’s difficulty kinda grows the more advanced strats you integrate and the tankier you make him. On max NG cinder is a beast.
@@LundyHuntyrTrue, Ng+Max he’s no joke. I have definitely fought him a lot of different ways, but that’s the thing about FromSoft games is that you are your own difficulty slider. Things are as easy or hard as you make them, and I do think that Laurence is easier to learn as far as moveset goes but when you try to fight him in ways that make it more challenging (low level, no upgrades, no buffs, etc) the aforementioned things that make him a pain in the ass just become more of an issue. I don’t know, we all have different experiences with bosses, and for me I just find long fights annoying. I get what you’re saying though, and SoC is a great fight with a killer OST
@@staggerlee7301 Yeah, and I get where you are coming from. Fighting Laurence BL4 no roll and no beast blood pellets or chalice gems was hard as crap. Took me a bit over 30 hours. Soul of cinder without bleed no roll took me 30-35. They’re both very similar in difficulty.
I'm addicted to this game💀
I’m at endgame ng+. Only played the dlc on ng+ and for some reason, the boss I’ve struggled with the most, is Vicar. Idk why. She gives me the most trouble out of any other boss
I kinda get moon presence being this high for damage less but moon presence is legit a bottom 5 boss in terms of difficulty in casual play
Is this list supposed to be difficulty for damageless runs? I didn't hear that mentioned, and it seemed like a general list. Honestly, the only boss easier than MP is Witches. Was shocked to see that placement.
Laurence was my kryptonite. Took me around 40 tries to kill him.
I finished my first run not to long ago, am I the only one who got bent over and got spanked bad by defiled watchdog. I swear I died like 30 times and I don’t feel like I’m shit at the game.
I struggled more with bloodstarved beast and living failures than with Lawrence and lady maria ... man .
Have you been playing lies of p?
I wouldve liked to see the covenants fleshed out more the league was alright but its gimmick is used for only 1 fight
Finally Laurence getting the spot he deserves. I would always see Orphan of Kos being considered to be the toughest but Laurence provides a way more difficult fight.
It’s possible that “Father” Gascoigne was referring to him as the biological father of the young girl NPC that gives us the music box. Maybe they’re intending a double meaning?
Daughter of the cosmos is not just found in the dungeons
11:06 That part sent me.😂🤣😂
There is no need for a Bloodborne 2. The first one is perfect on its own, any addition would be a detriment to its glory. We should leave it alone and make other masterpieces
Agreed, not everything should have a sequel
30 fps
Lit Larry definitely my pick as well, 20+ tries on a 1st run compared to maria (4) orphan (9)
All i heard about for years from bloodborne was Ludwig, maria, especially Kos. Laurence was a sleeper.
Best game ever made❤❤
Moon Presence above Logarius yeah right
