The dark in 4-2 is much better than the dark in 5-1 and 5-2 that's for sure. 3-1 dark is atmospheric though, but the dark in 2-1 before you reach the light outside with the shortcut elevator must be the best because of the relief it brings once you see the sun again
Fun fact: in DS3, the stone demons aren't even considered demons by the Black Knight weapons (which do more damage to demon enemies). Looking at any source, you see the demon bosses and the ONE normal enemy that is counted, the demon clerics, but no mention of these stone demons! Not even DS3 likes them!
One thing to mention. The Demon in pain and demon from below are both the demon prince, Lorian was said to have cut him in half during their fight, which after fleeing became these two
omg, the names make sense now. Demon from below is the bottom half Demon in pain is the top half and since that is where the brain is, that would be the half that feels the pain of being cut in half
Dark Souls really is such an amazing series with heaps of lore that can just make you feel a lot of emotions. Like the Demon Prince soul has probably my favorite bit of lore: "The demons, birthed from a common Chaos, share almost everything between them, even the pride of their prince, and his nearly-faded flame. So that the last demon standing may rekindle it." Like, this is it. This is the last ever standing demon, this is a fight for an entire race, and the Demon Prince himself is re-birthed from the dying flame of the last of its kin, so that it may fight one last battle. Yet still it fails, and with the Demon Prince dead, demonkind is now extinct.
As I said, I was really hyped to watch another excellent list video from you; you’re rapidly becoming one of my favorite Souls-based content creators, up there with Vaati and Demod. This was a fantastic overview of some of the coolest enemy designs in the series. I’d love to see you do something similar for other enemy types, such as the various knights and so forth. If you do, however, I hope that you decide to include the other Souls-esque titles (Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Demons Souls...maybe not Armored Core lol). Anyways, eagerly awaiting your next release! Also I lol’d hard at “semen of dong”, which after the shitty day I’ve had, I really needed. So, thanks for that :D
@@candletype1a447 Looking forward to it! It's been a while since I've played any of the ~Souls games, so my memory is a little foggy, but just off the top of my head, you could also do gods/demigods/misc deities, knights/samurai/ninja, large beasts demihumans, casters, most annoying enemies, most fun encounters, coolest rare enemies...the possibilities are boundless! Also, on an entirely self-interested note: would you ever have any interest in doing any Armored Core content? The reason I'm asking is because I've been working on a couple of collaborative videos with other channels I'm pals with lately, and I think our writing styles might go well together. I totally, 100% understand if you don't have the time, inclination, or interest, but I bet we could have a good time coming up with and putting together an AC6 video of some sort. Just something to mull over : )
@@candletype1a447My bets are on either Artorias or Gael at the top of that list to come, because they’re both spectacular knight characters in their own right. Either way, can’t wait to see that!
Hiya m8. I still don't actually have AC6 yet - have still never played any AC game! I will get it at some point though and I'll keep you in mind for a Collab vid; that sounds like fun!
@@candletype1a447 Right on - Absolutely no pressure, just thought it would be a fun idea that we could do something together. I did weapon review with @armoredcorelore recently that turned out really well, but I've been wanting to do something more involved. I'd also be down to look at something in the Elden Ring space if that sounds more feasible for you, but I completely understand if you'd rather wait until you have less on your plate. In any case, keep 'em coming, can't wait to see what's next!
the Omen bosses could maaaaaybe count too, since they (especially Margit) are very inspired by the Oni (鬼 or Japanese Ogres). They certainly have an Oni-like appearance, so. they're also victims of the Golden Order trend to look for an "Ultimate Evil" when there really isn't one, to spread fear and at therefore secure the allegiance of the masses
I always thought the Titanite Demons are a very unique design. Extra creepy that they don’t have a face. If it had a couple more moves it could easily have been a unique boss fight in DS1.
So glad I found your channel man the Scottish accent just adds to the quality of your videos 😂 you're kinda like the dark souls call me Kevin of UA-cam lol
RRAAAAGHHHH I LOVE FROMSOFTWARE GAME STUFF RANKINGS Especially when i don't necessarily agree but understand the reasoning which is made clear by the good writing!!!
I actually love the Crow Demons to be honest. I found them to actually be fun. And they look cool as fuck I also can't help but love the Covetous Demon he's just so adorable and I love destroying him and also love his lore
I like to imagine that the Capra Demon and Tauros Demon bosses are actually just jabroni weaklings that were kicked out of the Demon Ruins for being such massive wimps, hence their low health and why Capra feels the need to have dogs and thiefs working for them. The latter being an average at best fish in an itty bitty baby pond.
I feel like a lot of enemies suffered rank wise by not being bosses, some bosses that are just not great deserves a more critical eye because they're supposed to be a unique experience, and if said experience is lackluster, their grade should get a hit.
I was disappointed by the Demon Ruins in DS3 too. The Cleric Demon just seemed like another type of Ghru. I was hoping to see improved versions of those freaky Chaos Eaters from DS1 or at least a Capra Demon, but instead they chose the Stone Demons which are lame and resemble fire breathing turds.
hyped for the eventual Demons Souls Dark Ranking
Souls humour peaked here
The dark in 4-2 is much better than the dark in 5-1 and 5-2 that's for sure. 3-1 dark is atmospheric though, but the dark in 2-1 before you reach the light outside with the shortcut elevator must be the best because of the relief it brings once you see the sun again
I'm so mad that this made me audibly laugh
Personally I like the dark in 1:1 with the executioner.

Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today
Earthworm ass demons
Another long form souls ranking video??
Yes pleas
NOBODY SPEAKS ABOUT MY MOTHER LIKE THAT!
But seriously, love your videos. Hilarious and well-informed
Smelter Demons are still cool bosses; wish their weapons came back for more games too.
Would love to see a Purple Smelter Demon mixed boss weapon lol

Altus grass feel very ethereal whilst caelids is quite repulsive : )

Thanks a lot m8, and I love the idea of covering other enemy types! Very likely that I do an ultimate Knight ranking in the near future.

Your dedication is formidable
Ever since I heard the Covetous Demon summed up as „He got rejected and ate too much“ I kinda like him. Fittingly pathetic, really. Also, been there.
the Omen bosses could maaaaaybe count too, since they (especially Margit) are very inspired by the Oni (鬼 or Japanese Ogres). They certainly have an Oni-like appearance, so.

Hell yes, seeing this pop up in my feed just made my day! Can't wait to watch it later tonight :D

Yay I'm excited to learn about demons ❤
Pretty sure the bounding demons are the ass ends of the undead dragon torsos. How they ended up so far apart is a mystery.
Love the twin demons / demon prince. Favorite boss in DS3 and my favorite duo boss in the series.
So glad I found your channel man the Scottish accent just adds to the quality of your videos 😂 you're kinda like the dark souls call me Kevin of UA-cam lol
36:24 Made me chuckle hahaha. Well done man
Nice vid! Keep grinding bro 🤝🏼
A new challenger appears:

Ultimate video :)))
استمر يارجل مهما يقولن مزلة تعطي الامل لهذا الهولو
That fuckin intro goes hard! God damn
A lot of things in these games are so much cooler after reading Berserk, especially demons.
Candle out here spoiling us
RRAAAAGHHHH I LOVE FROMSOFTWARE GAME STUFF RANKINGS
Especially when i don't necessarily agree but understand the reasoning which is made clear by the good writing!!!

And they look cool as fuck
I also can't help but love the Covetous Demon he's just so adorable and I love destroying him and also love his lore
That sound clip for the asylum demons butt…….is that bao the whale???
You talked about the Taurus Demon jumping off the wall but not the Ceasless Discharge jump and fall?
I just aggro the skeletons around the Carthus Demon and watch it fight them. Wish more DS games had chances for enemy infighting.
he did the jerma growl

My sleep video has arrived
My biggest disappointment with Elden Ring was the lack of demons/demon lore in Elden Ring. Many many dragons but not demons.
Doesn’t the ivory king from dark souls 2 dlc count.
What is the music at the beginning? 👀
It's called Shoot Speed from the killer7 soundtrack.
Rank every souls enemy I dare you
okay, does anyone else really like the Taurus demon?
does anyone know the soundtrack used for 5?
It's the Abyss Watchers theme from Dark Souls 3
@@candletype1a447thanks!

Uhm, i disagree that demons are the more associated with dark souls, there are also dragons and various knights.
Okay
That intro audio is awful holy shit
i love titanite demons but the one in anor londo is awful
That’s why I often cheese it by killing it with arrows while on the upper floor. That room is just too dang small.
They should have removed the wall once it is revealed that anor londo is an illusion
