Demon of Hatred absolutely deserves to be on this list. He is way harder than Midir and most other bosses on this list. Many thought he was harder than Isshin
@@grimreefer213 I don't really hear that he's harder than Isshin but you're probably right that he should be here. I cheesed him because that boss doesn't belong in Sekiro so I don't have an opinion.
Morgott is absolutely brutal if you spam roll. His delayed attacks and crazy combos are meant for roll catching. Too bad he has too little hp though, hes my favorite boss in Elden Ring and he could definitly use more health
SAME I think he's awesome and I thought he was impossible because I fought him under leveled first playthrough. If he was scaled better ppl would actually think he's hard cuz his moveset is crazy.
@@epsilon1372Same here. A couple of times it took me only one attempt and I was wearing full Tarkus with his shield in one. I always use quit game to beat her.
Ok, now I know the damage of that Midir lazer. I beat him 3 try, then fought him several more times, he didn't hit me with it even once because that lizard has an accuracy of a drunk truck driver. To be honest I considered him one of the weakest boss of DS3 second half... Though overall in these games I have lot more troubles with locations then with bosses because I'm good at fighting but irredeemably bad at exploring and end up getting lost for hours every time because of my eternal topographical cretinism...especially in DS1, that game was a circle running simulator😅
Midir may be a drunk driver, but he still crashed into me over and over again. Lucky shot I guess. At any chance I get I will happily slander DS1, so I agree!
@@andrewtheitalian I've finished this game literally 2 days ago and I will never launch it ever again...I've never played a game more inconvenient, incomprehensible, unintuitive and annoying in my entire life. I didn't like a single boss from there, all of them weak and half of them are annoying. Combat overall sucks huge donkey ass. 10% of fighting and 90% of running around and recovering stamina. And the famous "peak level design" that I used to hear every time. Ya, sure. If placing fat mobs on every tiny bridge that can push you in the abyss and making every second location pitch black with passages as small as possible with unrecognizable traps and megaton of mobs that block you every time and location level distribution that forces you to constantly travel from one side of the map to the other ON FOOT is peak level design then I am a King of Lollipop Land.
@@Sargatas mob placement was definitely worse in DS2 but the bosses are mid and the areas are awful, so I agree. Unfortunately you're not the king of Lollipop Land.
@@andrewtheitalian the good stuff starts from DS3. This and ER have so many cool and fun bossfights...and more are coming. Someone bring me my big ass sword😎
Orpah of Kos didn't feel that hard for me but for some reason Bloodborne gameplay really clicked for me. It took me a few attempts to take him down but I felt like he was much easier than what people make of him. The only attack I really struggled with was the lightning attack.
I was still pretty new with the Souls genre when I played Bloodborne, so it took me a while to adjust to the mechanics. Even when I did I still considered Orphan to be extremely difficult, but I'll have to go back and see how much easier it is now
Thanks! Most of my videos are more comedic, this was a lot different than my usual stuff. And I haven't fought Fume Knight so I'll have to get back to you on that!
Once you learn to dodge the 2 main attacks I'd say Malenia is pathetically easy Honestly she still barely makes it into this list at like 10 or 9 My personal hardest boss would have to be Sister Friede or Orphan of Kos
I never learned to dodge the two attacks tho, and most people don't either. If they didn't exist then she would be in the bottom half, but with lifesteal and two complete health bars there's no way she isn't here.
@@andrewtheitalian Just without waterfall dance, i would directly put her out of the list 🤷🏻♂️ even with his life regeneration mechanic, i think that is a mid boss.
Here's my top five rankings: #1. Malenia, Blade of Miquella #2. Orphan of Kos #3. Isshin, the Sword Saint #4. Either Darkeater Midir or Radahn (but only if you don't use the dozens of summons in the Radahn fight) #5. Between Sister Friede / Father Ariandel, and (my worst enemy) Demon of Hatred I'll be honest, I'm kinda surprised Slave Knight Gael wasn't on this list of yours. I thought he was so much harder than The Nameless King, then again, I also thought The Soul of Cinder was much harder than The Nameless King as well. On a side tangent, I wish I could stress enough how much I hate the Demon of Hatred. THREE DAYS it took me! The bane of my existence. Literally almost 100 attempts. That was the most humbling experience of my life, but even still, I know he's not as technically intricate or difficult as Malenia or Isshin, but he was definitely the hardest for me personally.
Good list! I never fought Radahn without summons, since the way he is presented encourages you to use them. I keep hearing that Gael should be in the top ten, but I didn't find him that tough (great boss tho). Demon of Hatred would very likely be on this list if I fought him legitimately, but I didn't so I chose not to include him or even mention him.
@@andrewtheitalian I understand. Anyone who fights Radahn without summons is a madman. With summons is clearly the intended way to fight him. There's certain bosess most others found difficult that I found easy, so I can understand your experience with Gael. I personally found Godfrey to be a *walk in the park* compared to many other bosses. That being siad, his second phase was so overwhleming.
Radahn is hard but compared to endgame bosses, he’s kind of medium in terms of difficulty. His first phase is pretty easy once you learn some of the times and while his second phase can be rough, it’s not too bad either. I don’t think he comes anywhere close to the crazy stuff in the ds3 and bbdlc fights or elden ring/sekiro endgame fights
Hmmmm 🤨 I do agree with most of your tier list, but i simply dont understand why Ornstein and Smough are on a higher place than the Nameless King. I mean, they are a legendary boss fight in videogame’s history, but… after fighting the extremely annoying GodSkin Duo in Elden Ring, Ornstein and Smough are pretty easy (and i do think that it is a really well balanced fight, contrary to most of ER double bosses). I do think that bosses such as Artorias or Manus are more challenging than Ornstein and Smough. Also, Evrietas was super difficult before it got debuffed after Bloodborne’s launch. And… where is Gael? 😮 *Personally, i find Demon of Hate to be way more difficult than Ishin
Pretty good list but Orphan of Kos is not that difficult once you get the general feel for his fight. Also considering you can cheese him so easily with one method its kinda hard to see him above bosses like Isshin and Malenia.
I try to disregard cheese unless it's something that happens often accidentally (like Taurus Demon falling off the map). That's not the case for Orphan but I can see why you would say Isshin or Malenia is above him.
@@BlacklistedSouptbh I found it a lot harder to parry him since his moves are so quick so eventually I stopped trying to. I'll focus more on parrying when I do another playthrough
The truth is that Maliketh is the toughest boss in all From Software games. The only reason no one thinks so is because his health is very low. Give him two health bars and he'd be an absolute problem.
Maliketh is easy. Just bait out one of his attacks where he does the many slashes. It’s also easy to bait it out. The hardest part of Maliketh is his hit box. Maliketh being in the hardest FromSoftware boss list is insane.
@@John-fo4wpI think discrediting a boss for having two or three easy moves (admittedly he does) and dismissing the rest of his moveset (which is some of the hardest in the series) isn't the right play. Making the case that he should be lower is understandable but I don't think any boss not in the top ten comes anywhere close to Maliketh
I don’t think so. I’ve beat him at level 1 and with +0 weapons and he’s hard to learn and deals a lot of damage but his moveset is not that difficult to deal with. You do have to mind your positioning and his combo branch points but he’s nowhere near as bullshit as a boss like Melania, he has a very fair moveset and gives you plenty of long punishable openings. His poise is also weak and you can get so overpowered in Elden Ring that with the right setup it would not be that different I don’t think.
who's that idiot boss at the end of the ringed city DLC in DS3? the boss in the desert waste. That's the hardest boss, in my opinion. I've beaten every boss, barring Demon's Souls, and this boss is too much.
TRUE, definitely my favorite boss of all time. Not on the list tho because I found his moves easy to learn and his damage output is fair, especially compared to the other bosses in that DLC.
Dishonorable mention: Demon of Hatred. Fuck this boss and everything it stands for
Yeah I wasn't doing all that 😭
