Absolute Radiance on radiant took me like 50 hours to beat the first time, and that was definitely the hardest thing ever for me, though when I played hollow knight for all trophies and every boss on radiant again it took me only 30 minutes
I definitely think Absolute Radiance is the hardest boss I've ever fought in a video game. The fight on its own is very difficult, but it's the fact you have to go through a pantheon of over 40 bosses and since there's no checkpoints you have to do it all over again if you die. I can't tell you how many hours I spent trying to beat it. Also can't wait to see Elden Ring content on your channel and I'm so ready to spend hundreds of hours exploring this game.
that's why you have to master absolute radiance in training. There's no point to go over pantheon if it's not the case except when it comes to unlock him
@@unknown95140 I mean I had to do the training. It still took me many attempts but eventually I did win and felt confident in the pantheon to understand the moveset.
@@CVHFitness Because Sigrun is the most addicting boss I've ever experienced. Every time I die, it's always my fault. This is how to make a brutally difficult boss done right. Unlike Absolute Radiance *Vietnam war flashbacks*
@@thundageon5962 Absolute Radiance is the same tho...... there is one glitch that can kill you in plats but apart from that every time you get hit its your fault. A lot of people seem to believe that absrad is bullshit or rng but the truth is you just need to have good positioning and you can avoid attacks overlapping
@@thundageon5962That's just plain not true about Sigrun, the 3 major reasons for that fight's punishing difficulty have absolutely nothing to do with the player. Firstly, Sigrun is so much faster and more mobile than Kratos It's just plain ridiculous, I can't think of one instance in the soulsborne games for example where your character is so outmatched in that department, even Friede in DS3 who moves like Maria in Bloodborne is still fairer than Sigrun. This plays into the second issue, healing! Healing is intentionally sparse and slow in the game and whilst it works the vast majority of the time, Sigrun's speed makes it ludicrously dangerous to stop for even a millisecond. Thirdly, the variety of attacks is borderline unfair to ask anyone to remember, but if it was just that it wouldn't be quite so bad, however, many of them have similar windups but totally different ways in which you are supposed to manage them. One attack can be used 1, 2 or 3 times in a row with zero indication of which it will be until the last millisecond. One attack requires you to be essentially on the other side of the arena to avoid chunking half your health, another blinds you etc, and quite often they are accompanied by busy effects that makes keeping attention even harder. Sometimes you can stun her out of attacks but as her health declines this isn't always true for attacks that haven't otherwise changed with no clear delineation of when this actually happens made apparent until you've already suffered a hit. And all of this is augmented by the first issue her since she's does all these ludicrously quickly and it augments in turn the second issue, since you often have to turn your back on her to heal at all, taking focus from dealing with her myriad attacks. Sigrun is considerably harder than the Orphan of Kos and even Malenia, but this is entirely because the difference in abilities between Kratos and her not only strays but full on runs into utter bullshit territory.
The hardest boss for me is the cannoneer and blade bearer from code vein while you play solo. It was wild, never have I been so angry as during my fight with them but at the same time I never got the same amount of satisfaction from finally defeating them
@@Tylericous It's way too easy with a companion. Boss A.I starts getting brain dead, your companion can ressurect you, it completely takes away any challenge from the game. Overall code vein balance is terrible, if you play with companion, it's a joke, if you play alone, it's so hard it's borderline unfun. Tho the way you can create absolutely overpowered builds in this game can easily allow you to win every fight even solo.
Sanada Yukimura and Inner Father are my personal picks. After I beat the Shura gauntlet on NG+7 (Charmless, demon bell) I practiced the fight hours because it was so tough and fun, but I still can't consistently beat him, which is unlike pretty much every other boss that I fought for this long, also when I completed the mortal journey for the first time last week beating Inner Father felt just like a complete shitshow that I barely managed to beat. Sanada, on the other hand, completely destroys me no matter how welll equipped I think I am. By the time I got to play the second DLC I started to get a bit underleved, so I thought he was so difficult because of that. But after I beat him, I completed NG+ and got better gear, went back to the level and he still wiped the floor with me, on my second playthrough It wasn't so hard because I had much more Ki to block his combos, but it was still quite tough, I've been playing Nioh again with a Tonfa/Ninjutsu build and I can't wait to fight him again and be bodied. Both are so hard but for very different reasons so I'm not sure which one is the toughest for me, but they're really cool bosses anyway (especially Inner Father)
The Pantheon of Hallownest will always be one of the most awful things I've completed in a game solely because of AbsRad, she's simultaneously the most satisfying and unsatisfying boss in the world to beat
alright thank you for including Dr. Kahl’s robot, I’ve been trying to S rank this dude for 2 months now and I always end up getting hit by SOMETHING, whether it be one of those nut things from the shotgun head, the parryable laser, the Kahl bombs, the dang laser, or even the laser orbs that come from the extending arms when they retract from the screen.
I HATE Sister Friede. She’s the boss I always get stuck on during my DS3 runs. She’s simply too fast for me and her combos almost always stun lock me so she kills me within 4 hits in her first phase.
I think Sister Friede deserves to be higher on the list. She's the only boss where I had to use 3 summons, including Gael, to beat. Not even Midir was on that level. And Sigrun, I completely agree. Even though she's just an amalgamation of previous bosses. She took me like 3 days to beat
NKG harder than PV? how, my friend? NKG is much more structured and it's easy to answer in the correct way once you figure out its moveset. Of course this applies to PV to an extent but it is often harder to understand what attack is coming and it is much more easy to find yourself in the wrong spot for his moves, especially his triple dash. curious how people struggle with different bosses.
Well if you look at that way I found absolute radiance not that hard (the boss fight not the way to the boss) but found that little shopkeeper guy in the pantheon really difficult. Also in Bloodborne I found orphan of kos not that bad considering you can parry him but I found Laurence extremely difficult on NG+9. Orphan can't one shot you unless he summons the lightning on his second phase while every single attack Laurence does is a one shot
TEA from ff14. Takes groups 3-8 weeks to beat. I'm talking at least 120 hours to beat it. It's a 18 minute fight, no check points. and if 1 out of 8 raid members die the whole group usually does because there are shared teamwork mechanics
First time Beating Kos took me 30 trys, but the think why i remember it is the fact my weapon broke, after i took hin have Life and i beat him with that broken ludwigs sword, IT was so memorable
Either that or just shoot Masamune in his water-phase as he always does the ao bubbles. Quick headshot will end the water-phase and tbh wind is way easier
Two of the hardest bosses for me were Alatreon and Fatalis completed solo in monster hunter world. If you aren't aware of them I would reccomend looking into them.
The hardest bosses I've ever beaten were all on Nioh 1 & 2, on path of the Nioh. Obviously they wouldn't count for your list because that's not normal difficultly, but for anyone in to fast paced and super difficult combat, try these games and reach the top tier difficulty. You almost have to perfect the bosses to beat them which makes for some incredible fights. Personally I've always enjoyed the Nioh games far more than Dark Souls as the faster and far deeper combat system really appeals to me
Surprised there was no mention of Jin Hayabusa from Nioh 1. He's generally considered much more difficult than his Nioh 2 counterpart Ren Hayabusa and arguably the hardest boss in Nioh 1.

@@legobatmanthevideogame3194 well you shouldn't judge a boss by "what if" if that's your intention bcs AbsRad does have that third phase and you cannot take it away
@@legobatmanthevideogame3194 oh sorry then. it's retty hard to diffrentiate in a comment section plus I actually have seen people make this very claim and that makes me shake my head
Holy shit I stumbled across this video via random UA-cam rec and this might be the closest I've seen anyone to my actual list. Haven’t played Nioh 2 dlc so don't know about them and I would put NKG maybe higher even higher than Absolute radiance but Sanada my fuc*ing god was a nightmare and took me ages to beat and I used that stair cheat as well :3
Since I haven’t gotten past GPZ in Pantheon 5, I feel like the hardest boss is either the Necromancer from Castle Crashers Remastered or Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight
So im new in this kind of games , and i find malenia from elden ring so fucken difficult that i cant even imagine how fucken diff this bosses could be lol
Thinking about hard bosses from games I've played. What immediately comes to mind is the Fawful Express in M&L Bowser's inside story. Turn the ds sideways to fight this boss, but don't forget, you can't punch it so you have to use the ds's mic. Add the time limit towards an instant death, and you have an insanely hard and frustrating boss. I don't think I struggle with it too much anymore, although take that with a grain of salt since I haven't played BIS in years, but generally speaking there's a section where the damn train states still, and you can stall it there for constant chip damage. I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Other bosses I struggled with often became easier with the solution of "don't be stupid", or weren't necessarily that hard in the first place, just frustrating beyond all hell. You know what, We'll throw out Jin in xenoblade 2 and N in xenoblade 3, future redeemed. Both are dodge tanks that can break, topple, launch your entire party. In other words, stun lock you and get a damage boost during said stun lock. Actually, one other boss slipped my mind from xenoblade 1. I won't specify who it is due to spoilers, but also because I'm not the biggest fan of xenoblade 1, and don't remember who tf they are. Dodge tank, in an arena that has something that can damage you, and a unique enemy (mini boss) that can attack you in the middle of fighting said boss. Anyways, I just want to say, Xenoblade 1 has an amazing story and amazing music, my dislike of it comes purely from the actual gameplay. Nothing else.
U just need to use fire and wind stop on Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune was much more difficult for me but also did u beat Sanada with Sarutobi Sasuke in a later mission it took me 15 min
I hated fighting Sister Friede and Father Ariandel. I managed to beat Darkeater Midir after about 10 tries, but he a was a giant fucking dragon and was fun, and I beat Gael on my second try, and he was one of the most fun bosses I've played in the series, besides the Ivory King in DS2. She is just ridiculously stupid with her delays, speed, and random dodges. I did master the fight and managed to annihilate her and Ariandel
besides malenia the hardest boss ive ever beaten and/or fought is most likely isshin back then when i didnt know how to reflect his lightning (i never knew you needed to jump after the kanji dissapeared) im still on my way to unlocking inner father and inner isshin but inner genichiro was pretty light in my opinion as for demon of hatred its the hardest boss ive never beaten (i beat malenia once with a bleed build)
I absolutely hated that fight until I finally learned his moveset and utilized the fire umbrella with the ceremonial tanto. It was satisfying to beat him, but for a sekiro boss it's a 3/10 from me.
I beat every single bosses in this top but for me, the hardest is by vert far yozora from kh3, juste what was Nomura thinking when he created this fucker. It's probably my favorite boss as well (i did it no hit)
Whoa, it's crazy a player with your skill finds Shuten Doji hard when I would rank 60% of Nioh 2 bosses above him in terms of difficulty, Tate Eboshi, Lightning Yomi, and Nyutengu just to name a few lol. Guess it's such a subjective experience especially depending on what build you use.
Second time I've seen Sigrun on a hardest bosses list Got me excited for nothing I beat her in Give me God of War and she was only tedious and annoying and her only attack that could hit me was the bullshit clap that blinds you a bit
the most bosses in this list are souls like bosses... are there really not more? because i remember as a kid having a hardtime with shao khan in MK2 or some Soul calibur bosses
Is absolute radiance that difficult or is it because you have to beat like 40 other bosses before him? I’ve not played Hollow Knight I’m just curious and asking

Ummm Yiazmat from FInal Fantasy XII…man has over 50 million hp and takes at least an hour if done perfectly, which most can’t…even with maxed out gear and stats. Completely optional boss fight but damn it’s the hardest… Then even after that, Absolute Virtue from FFXI is even HARDER
idk man orphan of kos was honestly not a hard boss for either of my runs i did, as sad as it is i struggled more with manus on ds1 then i did with the orphan on bloodborne. manus took my like a month of playing every day to beat because i just couldn’t handle how aggressive he was even alter i memorized his moves
There's so many other games apart from the ones mentioned in this video... Soulsborne games or the other 2 aren't the only games with hard bosses. I don't hate these games, I'm just sick of seeing them everywhere. There's bosses in other games that are harder than most of these entries but they're just not popular enough.
but on wich difficulty was valkyrie queen. bevause the game has so many and i cant imagine on easy she beeing one of the hardest.... thats why i dont like difficulty settings honestly
I said at the start that I won't count different difficulty settings if all they do is increase stats. Failed to mention that in games with multiple difficulties I would default to normal difficulty
ive played and beaten most of the bosses on this list and if u ever decide to play mhw im certain fatalis will take the number 1u have never fought a boss that hard and i dont say that lightly

Since I haven’t gotten past GPZ in Pantheon 5, I feel like the hardest boss is either the Necromancer from Castle Crashers Remastered or Pure Vessel from Hollow Knight
So im new in this kind of games , and i find malenia from elden ring so fucken difficult that i cant even imagine how fucken diff this bosses could be lol
You mean Sanada who I beat on my second try on my first playthrough is harder than Bloodborne's chalice dungeon bosses or the absolute radiance?
This is the first time i actualy watch a video that was made out not long ago from you
Thinking about hard bosses from games I've played. What immediately comes to mind is the Fawful Express in M&L Bowser's inside story. Turn the ds sideways to fight this boss, but don't forget, you can't punch it so you have to use the ds's mic. Add the time limit towards an instant death, and you have an insanely hard and frustrating boss.
I don't think I struggle with it too much anymore, although take that with a grain of salt since I haven't played BIS in years, but generally speaking there's a section where the damn train states still, and you can stall it there for constant chip damage.
I can't think of any others off the top of my head. Other bosses I struggled with often became easier with the solution of "don't be stupid", or weren't necessarily that hard in the first place, just frustrating beyond all hell.
You know what, We'll throw out Jin in xenoblade 2 and N in xenoblade 3, future redeemed.
Both are dodge tanks that can break, topple, launch your entire party. In other words, stun lock you and get a damage boost during said stun lock.
Actually, one other boss slipped my mind from xenoblade 1. I won't specify who it is due to spoilers, but also because I'm not the biggest fan of xenoblade 1, and don't remember who tf they are.
Dodge tank, in an arena that has something that can damage you, and a unique enemy (mini boss) that can attack you in the middle of fighting said boss.
Anyways, I just want to say, Xenoblade 1 has an amazing story and amazing music, my dislike of it comes purely from the actual gameplay. Nothing else.
That thumbnail is... something else lol.
the dude who goes "oh scratchy bitch" in Sonny 2
This is a good channel. Subbed.
HE'S BACK!!! MOM GET THE LUBE
U just need to use fire and wind stop on Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune was much more difficult for me but also did u beat Sanada with Sarutobi Sasuke in a later mission it took me 15 min
Absolute radiance it’s absolute rng
Agreed
Hardest boss for me is Shiva from SMT V
Mainly because i decided to go underleveled
Dude you forgot the dogs in Capra Demon's room
I hated fighting Sister Friede and Father Ariandel. I managed to beat Darkeater Midir after about 10 tries, but he a was a giant fucking dragon and was fun, and I beat Gael on my second try, and he was one of the most fun bosses I've played in the series, besides the Ivory King in DS2. She is just ridiculously stupid with her delays, speed, and random dodges. I did master the fight and managed to annihilate her and Ariandel
Thanks to Absolute Radiance and Markoth-Zote I don't have HK platinum
besides malenia the hardest boss ive ever beaten and/or fought is most likely isshin back then when i didnt know how to reflect his lightning (i never knew you needed to jump after the kanji dissapeared) im still on my way to unlocking inner father and inner isshin but inner genichiro was pretty light in my opinion
as for demon of hatred its the hardest boss ive never beaten (i beat malenia once with a bleed build)
Didn’t mention tutorial in cuphead or the bnk3r the greatest defense bot hell you didn’t even mention ceaseless discharge 🤦♂️
The secret final boss from Hollow Knight so high? I really don't remember having too hard a time with it.
This is absolute radiance, super version of it
The demon of hatred's charge was the one move that was so fuvking hard to deal with . I think that was the move that killed me the most
Use divine confetti you deal like 25% more damage
I absolutely hated that fight until I finally learned his moveset and utilized the fire umbrella with the ceremonial tanto. It was satisfying to beat him, but for a sekiro boss it's a 3/10 from me.
Now let’s all just pray that Elden ring is good and does well on UA-cam
Cool channel; subscribing.
Update this with Malenia at the top. Stupid difficult fight.
Rather fight malenia then someone like midir
I beat every single bosses in this top but for me, the hardest is by vert far yozora from kh3, juste what was Nomura thinking when he created this fucker.
It's probably my favorite boss as well (i did it no hit)
seeing a new magicat vid put a smile on my face so fast lol
What do you think about Ansem, the final boss from kingdom hearts 1? What about the misterious figure from kh bbs or lingering will from kh2?
Never played either game
Mysterious figure can be cheesed with dodge spam and surges
WhereMalenia?
That intro is dank
Whoa, it's crazy a player with your skill finds Shuten Doji hard when I would rank 60% of Nioh 2 bosses above him in terms of difficulty, Tate Eboshi, Lightning Yomi, and Nyutengu just to name a few lol. Guess it's such a subjective experience especially depending on what build you use.
Imo Melania should be on the next version of this list.
Me who played Yo Kai Watch 2: *You wouldn’t get it*
@Sushi Girl Ember dame demona is child’s play in comparison to dame dedtime. that took me like 100 attempts across 1 or 2 months
Second time I've seen Sigrun on a hardest bosses list
Got me excited for nothing
I beat her in Give me God of War and she was only tedious and annoying and her only attack that could hit me was the bullshit clap that blinds you a bit
Malenia says hi
the most bosses in this list are souls like bosses... are there really not more? because i remember as a kid having a hardtime with shao khan in MK2 or some Soul calibur bosses
Recency bias. How many people under 30 have played MK2'S story mode
When magicat nft
Is absolute radiance that difficult or is it because you have to beat like 40 other bosses before him? I’ve not played Hollow Knight I’m just curious and asking
Well you can choose to fight him on his own outside of the phanteons and he's still the hardest boss in the game
I spent 60 hours beating P5 and 40 of those were spent just practicing absolute radiance…
I did it after 2 hours, 25 minutes of radiance practice.
Undubcrsbi
We don't talk about Ballin', no, no, no
We don't talk about Ballin', but
It was my Ballin' day (it was our Ballin' day)
We were getting ready, and there wasn't a ball in the sky (no balls allowed in the sky)
Ballin walks in with the mischievous balls (compressed splash sound effect)
You telling this story, or am I?
I'm sorry, mi vida, go on
Bruno says, "It looks like Balls" (why did he tell us?)
In doing so, he floods his balls
Abuela, get the umbrellas
Married in a hurricane
What a bulbous day! But anyway
We don't talk about ballin, no, no, no
We don't talk about ballin
Hey, grew to live in fear of ballin stuttering or stuttering
I can always hear him sort of stuttering and stuttering
I associate him with the sound of falling balls, (unpleasant high volume ball falling sound)
It's a heavy lift with some balls so humbling
Always left Abuela and the family stuttering
Stuttering with balls they couldn't understand
Do you understand?
Seven-foot balls, rats along his balls
When he calls your balls, it all fades to black
Yeah, he sees your balls and feasts on your balls (hey)
We don't talk about Ballin, no, no, no
We don't talk about Ballin
He told me my balls would die, the next day, dead (no, no)
He told me my balls would grow it was sarcastic (no, no)
He said that all my balls would disappear
Now, look at my balls (no, no)
Your balls are sealed when your prophecy is read
He told me that the balls of my dreams
Would be promised, and someday be mine
He told me that my balls would grow
Like the grapes that thrive on the vine
(Óye, your package's on his way)
He told me that the balls of my dreams
Would be just out of reach
Betrothed to another
It's like I hear them now
Hey sis, I want not a ball out of you
I can hear them now
Um, Ballin
Yeah, about that Ballin
I really need to know about Ballin
Gimme the truth and the whole truth, Ballin
(Isabella, your package's here)
Time for dinner
Seven-balls balls, balls along his balls
When he calls your balls, it all balls to balls
Yeah, he sees your balls and balls on your balls (Splash sound effect even more compressed and loud)
You Ballin' this balls, or ball balls?
(Óye, your package's on his way)
Ballin says, "It balls like balls"
In doing so, he balls balls balls
Balls ball ball ball ball balls balls ball
It's balls
Don't talk about Ballin, no (why did I talk about Ballin?)
Not a word about Ballin
I never should've brought up Ballin!
"or some say kosm" lmao nice one
How about Jin Hayabusa from Nioh?
Never fought him. I fought his brother in Nioh 2 though and he wasn't that bad, so I can't imagine Jin would be much worse.
Date Masamune is the worst boss I've ever fought in a game in terms of difficulty.
Everytime I see a ranking like this without Mhw Fatalis, I know for a fact it's wrong
cus I haven't played it
fatty is in a tier of his own
Ummm Yiazmat from FInal Fantasy XII…man has over 50 million hp and takes at least an hour if done perfectly, which most can’t…even with maxed out gear and stats. Completely optional boss fight but damn it’s the hardest…
Then even after that, Absolute Virtue from FFXI is even HARDER
Yozora.
idk man orphan of kos was honestly not a hard boss for either of my runs i did, as sad as it is i struggled more with manus on ds1 then i did with the orphan on bloodborne. manus took my like a month of playing every day to beat because i just couldn’t handle how aggressive he was even alter i memorized his moves
There's so many other games apart from the ones mentioned in this video... Soulsborne games or the other 2 aren't the only games with hard bosses. I don't hate these games, I'm just sick of seeing them everywhere. There's bosses in other games that are harder than most of these entries but they're just not popular enough.
He's talking about games he featured on his channel, ofc they are not the only ones in existence 💀
Very Surprised Sans wasn’t on here or at least an honorable mention
I’ve seen a lot of things saying sigrun is hard but for me she was easy even on hard
Where does Malenia fall?
top 3 for sure
@@magicat7356 All I needed to know.
Where's soldier of Godrick?
Kos... he killed me with about 1 hp left
But a hoonter must hoont and I killed him (it takes me about 3 hours)
DMD Vergil >
Nightmare Samur >
Cool video
I miss doom eternal 🤔
but on wich difficulty was valkyrie queen. bevause the game has so many and i cant imagine on easy she beeing one of the hardest.... thats why i dont like difficulty settings honestly
I said at the start that I won't count different difficulty settings if all they do is increase stats. Failed to mention that in games with multiple difficulties I would default to normal difficulty
@@magicat7356 no problem mate. forgot to say your video is really good. 😉
@@Tuxedosnake00 thanks!
No Vergil?
Creaking Skull
No Laurence?
ive played and beaten most of the bosses on this list and if u ever decide to play mhw im certain fatalis will take the number 1u have never fought a boss that hard and i dont say that lightly
This isnt a bad video for what it is, but when you have a title like "of all time" youd expect this to be... not your own experience. this is just the same three games!
Who's experience did you think it would be? Yours?
You have someone new to add
Sister Friede but no Slave Knight Gael?
Yeah I think she's harder
@@magicat7356 friede is the hardest boss in ds3 without question, even midir is easy compared to her.
For me? Junko Enoshima’s PTA in Danganronpa 2. It’s so fucking bullshit. I can do BTB’s with ease but not PTA’s. I hate it. I hate Junko. I want to cry.
That shit is so easy just do fever rush
@@M__FO You don’t understand. The delay on PTA’s are bullshit. Combine that with high speeds and you miss almost everything.
Nioh pog
Melania now…
