I… died to Pinwheel, I’m pretty ashamed of it. I heard that Pinwheel was considered comically easy and I went in some time after I killed Quelaag. I ran at him cockily and got OHKO’d when all of his clones fired at one. Killed him on my second attempt.
I genuinely don’t understand how people think crystal sage is easy. For the stage in the game you fight him in he is almost always at least somewhat challenging. If you are fighting him without alot of upgrades and vigour, he is actually hard.
Yeah, i don't get It, yeah, he could go down pretty quickly, but his damage is absolutly massive for a early Game bossfight, you can easily get melted in second phase, i can do more than half the Game bossfights first try at this point, crystal sage is usually not one of them, even if i beat It third try at most, but definitly a challenging bossfight unless you dump a lot of your early levels into getting more HP
First play through he was very hard but on my 2nd, I decided to just gun it straight to the real one without worrying about the clone and it’s piss easy then because his clones disappear when he tries to escape and if you deal enough damage fast enough they won’t fire any spells
Maybe it's similar to how the starting bosses in ng+ tend to get blitzed with your relatively high power in ds1? I still find them difficult tho so idk
I unironically love the puzzle bosses and I'm very sad they got shafted over time in favor of flat featureless arena boss fights that all practically play identically to eachother. It adds to the sense of adventure that you're outwitting these titans, with scrappy tactics, instead of just overpowering them. It honestly deflates alot of hype around the legends when they can just be bested by a naked man with a club who somersaults REALLY good. I think possibly the folding screen monkeys or the old hero might be my favorite personally
@@BillySYT it’s hard to say what is a puzzle boss and what is a gimmick boss, but one way would be to just choose one from each game that is clearly a puzzle, then just rank them from worst to best? I think the most clear puzzle bosses are dragon god, bed of chaos, executioner’s chariot, witches of hemwick, ancient wyvern, folding screen monkeys, and spiritcaller snail(the one with a crucible knight specifically).There might be better choices but those r just off the top of my head.
for elden ring both of the deer bosses should at least be mentioned, Gideon is either laughably easy because of his monologue or he ruins your life, godrick and astel have a few moves that just straight up miss and ranalla you can just bully with because she has low poise and can easily just flinch her so much that she doesn't even summon. also there's like 30 world bosses you can just cheese easily
Your channel is fantastic and your production is so high quality, you deserve 10x the subscribers! At least I can say I was here before you went viral, right? 😂
I've been watching Challenger Andy do a couple runs of DS2 and Prowling Magus and the Congregation has been and will be brutal in both. First, the Ring Only run wherein all of his attacks require him to be damaged let's the Magus get off with constant healing for everyone whilst Andy barely ever gets hit. This turned the fight into a total slog that felt like it could go on forever without better strategies. Second is the All Fume Knight run, and it goes without saying that this becomes the single hardest boss in that context.
I've died to deacons curse more time than I'd like to admit. I've never died to the temple monkeys I think but the dragon still sometimes oneshots me if I'm zoned out.
Most hilarious thing for me about Old Iron King is that i've never died to the hole. no I die to the camera and accidentally flinging myself off the entire platform near the primal bonfire door during the fight cause he looovvveesss spamming his fire attacks for me for whatever reason. it is rather embarrassing to say the least.
I like to go after pinwheel at the start of every run to get kindling and silver serpent ring. And I used to find him quite difficult like that, but I've gotten used to it.
I feel the Lost Giant is the easiest boss in DS2, simply because I don't consider it a tutorial boss and the clerics in the congregation have gotten my health decently low, unlike the moveset of Lost Giant.
Once you realize the Congregation is susceptible to alluring skulls (which you will have in ABUNDANCE after defeating the skeleton lords) then it immediately ceases being a fight and just turns into this sad slaughterhouse
tbh it's Dragonrider for DS2 for me (even without the arena change) with Magus+Congregation, as easy as they are, the ranged lightning attacks *do* get me sometimes and the crowd can overwhelm as much as Deacons tbh but Dragonrider eh. it basically just feels like one normal enemy (and for a Knight type enemy he doesn't even come close to being one of the harder ones)
Imo (Only counting actual bosses, so no mini bosses from Sekiro, chalice dungeon bosses or normal enemies from Elden Ring) Demon's Souls: True King Allant Dark Souls: Pinwheel Dark Souls 2: Royal Rat Vanguard Bloodborne: Celestial Emissery Dark Souls 3: High Lord Wolnir Sekiro: Divine Dragon Elden Ring: Mimic Tear
Tbh when I faced the one reborn I was like level 40 and he destroyed me 20+ times.. Comparatively 2 days later I killed gehrman on my 4th try. One reborn was the boss who took me the most attempts along with Rom
I've only played Elden Ring. It's kinda hard to pinpoint a definitive easiest boss with that difficulty can depend heavily on how much prior exploring a player has done prior. But yes, I agree on the Mimic Tear. I've fought it both fair and square and with the cheese strat. As much as you talked down the tactic of unequipping gear, I think there is something to be said about a battle that's so easily cheesed no matter what build you have. But yes, even when you fight it fairly, you've likely used whatever weapons you have long enough to know their weaknesses. Plus, oftentimes the boss will just spam the weapon skill, making the fight ridiculously predictable.
8:55 if that's so, why weren't sekiro's minibosses included? Some of them are laughably easy, such as okami leader shizu and, of course, the mist noble. The centipedes are a joke too, but on ng+ they have like 3x poise.
Because Sekiro's Mini-bosses are Mini-bosses. You answered your own question - The Living Failures, while I feel they serve as an entre to Lady Maria's fight, are still technically considered main bosses in their respective game.
If we exclude the wyvern and tutorial gundyr (I did not die to the run either with wyvern) my easiest boss would have to be oceiros I have done only two playthroughs but I have never died to him and even first attempts ever I had like 5 flasks left when I beat him
My very humble opinion is as this / Demon Souls: True King Allant (it as a life bar) / Dark Souls: Pinwheel / Darl Souls 2: Congregation / Dark Souls 3: Deacons / Bloodborne: Celestial / Sekiro: Monkeys / Elden Ring: Mimic
DS3? if its not wolnir than its definitely Yhorm. And honestly I'd put yhorm just on principle. Atleast Wyvern and Wolnir let you use your own gear, and theres a frantic rush before you get overwhelmed. Yhorm is just...boring... The storm ruler is NOT a fun mechanic, infact its easily the worst of it's three iterations. And unlike the Witches its NOT cheese you're clearly meant to use it, and if you did siegwards quest the boss fight is even MORE of a joke... and who DOESN'T want to help onion bro?? just so you can make an already laughably easy boss just slightly more tedious?
Billy try a SL1of these games and these rankings will change. Pinwheel was quite hard for me on SL1, I died several times, cause my health was so low!!
pre watch guesses: Phalanx Pinwheel Covetous Demon EDIT: im nlg i forgot about magus and cong lmao Witches of Hemwick Wolnir Gyobu EDIT: i died an embarrassing amount of times to divine dragon Soldier of godrick if he counts, if remembrance only then probably regal ancestor spirit?
DS2 is one of my favourite games and I’ve played it plenty of times, and I just don’t see how it’s fathomable to put anyone other than covetous demon as the easiest. You have to TRY to get hit, he does no damage even if you do get hit, his arena is large enough to run away to heal if you need to, he has no range…on my first playthrough of this game, my first souls game, I died to every boss 25+ times…Covetous Demon was easier than a world 1 Super Mario bros 3 enemy Magus sucks and is also easy but range and the amount of enemies is enough to at least slightly make the odd player panic or get caught in a weird spot.
Here is my top off my head list with basically no thought at all. Demons souls: old hero. Keep in mind ive only beaten this once: with sound masking, this chump swings wildly where you can make quick work of him while he's confused. Dark Souls: probably ceaseless discharge. If you smack his hand he falls in the lava and died. Not really much a challenge here. Moonlight butterfly is close but actually can shoot pretty strong magic and stays away from your reach. Dark souls 2: seems kinda cliche but covetous demon. He's fat and slow barely any threat. What else can be said about this loser. Dark souls 3: hmm probably high lord Wolnyr, he's cool looking but breaks as easily as his bracelets and then it's back to hell with this chuckle skull. Bloodborne: probably the witches of hemwick or failures. The witches really are dumb slow and no threat except when the second one shows up and then they can stun which is kinda yucky. Sekiro: never beaten it, 😅 probably lady butterfly because all you do is the overhead sword slam x100 and she dies. Elden Ring: man there are a lot lol.
Im late, but for me it’s Demons Souls: True king Allant Dark Souls: Pinwheel Dark souls 2: Prowling Magnus Bloodborne: Celestial emissary Dark Souls 3: High lord Wolnir Elden Ring: Mimic Tear
May Rick, Soldier of God have mercy on you! How can you name our savior as easiest boss? Just because he let you do that to him for the sake of this video 😮
Ok I agree wh everything... exceopt for the divine dragon. Yes, that fight is a cinematic gimmick that's very easy compared to lik, genichiro. But did you forget about the goddamn mist noble? The Boss that practically asks you to 1 shot it with a stealth deathblow?
@@BillySYTWhat requirements should a boss meet to be able to be considered a "main boss"? For me its a boss that you have to kill no matter what ending you take (for example Morgott).
Sorry for being late to the party, but what about mist noble as the easiest sekiro boss? I get that you forgot about him as he really is just the ultimate troll boss, but still, i am very disappointed
Dark souls 1=Pinwhel Dark souls 2=Conversoius demon(that big thing in the poisen area that returns in the third dlc) Bloodborne= Brainsucker(Yes its an boss in the chalice dungeons) Dark souls 3=Yhorm Sekiro=Nobel(that enemy in the cloudy forst that dies in 5 hits or so without fighting back) Elden ring=Soilder of godrick
I… died to Pinwheel, I’m pretty ashamed of it. I heard that Pinwheel was considered comically easy and I went in some time after I killed Quelaag. I ran at him cockily and got OHKO’d when all of his clones fired at one. Killed him on my second attempt.
Getting to him in the first place makes up for that.
I genuinely don’t understand how people think crystal sage is easy. For the stage in the game you fight him in he is almost always at least somewhat challenging. If you are fighting him without alot of upgrades and vigour, he is actually hard.
I died a lot against him in my first DS3 run. His damage is brutal.
crystal sage ended my very first ds3 playthrough lol it took a lot to come back and beat it a year later idk why that boss just kept bodying me
Yeah, i don't get It, yeah, he could go down pretty quickly, but his damage is absolutly massive for a early Game bossfight, you can easily get melted in second phase, i can do more than half the Game bossfights first try at this point, crystal sage is usually not one of them, even if i beat It third try at most, but definitly a challenging bossfight unless you dump a lot of your early levels into getting more HP

I still find them difficult tho so idk
This might be an odd idea. What do you think about ranking the puzzle bosses from the souls series
Bed of chaos number 1

If Rom isn't the best, we riot
I'd need to go through and figure out what bosses are considered puzzle bosses. But I'd be down for that.

The obvious answer for sekiro would be mist noble, unless you consider him a mini boss
He's the hardest mini boss in the game, yes
I've died to deacons curse more time than I'd like to admit. I've never died to the temple monkeys I think but the dragon still sometimes oneshots me if I'm zoned out.
Not going to lie. I’ve died to Pinwheel. I was messing around with its clones, and he one shot me with his magic ball attack 😅😅
True King Allant tho...
Ya I was surprised he didn’t pick true king allant
If I had to guess why it’s because true king Allant is more story and lore fodder than he is an actual boss.
Loving how you use the boom sound for each hit 😂 also great video!
Most hilarious thing for me about Old Iron King is that i've never died to the hole. no I die to the camera and accidentally flinging myself off the entire platform near the primal bonfire door during the fight cause he looovvveesss spamming his fire attacks for me for whatever reason. it is rather embarrassing to say the least.

embarrasingly enough, I got one shot by the mimic tear twice
agreed on all, Leechmonger didn't even attack me the first time around
Fun fact: i struggled on witches of hemwick more than father Gascoigne, cleric beast, and vicar amelia combined...
Crystal sage is one of the harder bosses if you're a mage, his magic resistance is insane and he can one shot you easily
Prowling Mage *handshake* Pinwheel
Having a summon available for this boss, for some reason.
I didn't expect a maybelline joke
Nobody ever expects the Maybelline joke
Leechmonger can be hard as shit is you go there immediately after 1-1, which I did in a playthrough where I wanted the MLG in 5-2
Believe it or not… I died to pinwheel twice but first tried Gargoyles, Quelaag, Seathe, Four Kings, Nito, Gwyn… don’t ask me how, idk.
I died once to both prowling magus and pinwheel, I feel very called out in this video
@@haldir8198 Magus is a horde, being far too careless and trying stupid stuff can get you killed.
I feel the Lost Giant is the easiest boss in DS2, simply because I don't consider it a tutorial boss and the clerics in the congregation have gotten my health decently low, unlike the moveset of Lost Giant.
Once you realize the Congregation is susceptible to alluring skulls (which you will have in ABUNDANCE after defeating the skeleton lords) then it immediately ceases being a fight and just turns into this sad slaughterhouse
I died to the Last Giant in my recorded playthrough so I can't say anything lmao
Covetous is the easiest, to be honest. The Mob got me once due to lightning spam and being surrounded.
tbh it's Dragonrider for DS2 for me (even without the arena change)
with Magus+Congregation, as easy as they are, the ranged lightning attacks *do* get me sometimes and the crowd can overwhelm as much as Deacons tbh
but Dragonrider eh. it basically just feels like one normal enemy (and for a Knight type enemy he doesn't even come close to being one of the harder ones)

As a Mexican saying "pero" while primarily using english made me smile.
