So these are the hardest bosses in their respective games, right? But which is the absolute hardest in the series?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10026131
>>335253779
I always found False King Allant harder than Man Eaters.
But of those I would say Orphan of Kos is hardest.
I think I've got Nameless King down now but I still struggle with OoK.
Laurence is hardest.
Isn't nameless king just Gwyn?
>>335255105
Gwyn jr
>>335253779
honestly if we are counting DLC bosses I'm going to throw Manus' name into the ring
I died to that fucker more times than any other boss in the series
HARDEST
>>335253779
Haven't played BB, but Fume Knight is the hardest boss out of those.
Fume > O&S > Nameless > Maneaters
Maneaters are fucking easy, I had a lot more trouble with Flamelurker than Maneaters.
>>335255105
No, but he isGwyn's first born
>>335253779
The only correct one there is Nameless.
Orphan is waaaay the fuck harder than NK
Having played all Soulsborne games, gotta be Orphan of Kos.
The fucker took me at least 50 tries which was embarassing
>>335255270
>>335255156
Okay.
And daamn, I really, really need to play Bloodborne. When is the PS4.5 thing out?
>>335255334
Orphan is one of the easiest bosses in the series.
>>335255189
If you lure them to the edge of their aggro range they will eventually go underground and return to their starting points with full HP, fucking ridiculous
>>335255556
I would say Alonne is as hard as Raime.
However O&S are still the hardest of the series.
>>335255556
Orphan is an absolute nightmare and probably the only boss in the series I dread the thought of ever fighting again. Fucking NG+ Horsecock Valley and 2Kat was easier than trying to beat Kosm
>>335255556
Did people seriously have trouble with maneaters? They attack like once every 10 seconds.
>>335255675
Not my fault you're a baddie. You can walk around him to avoid most of his attacks and dodge towards him for the rest. I really don't understand how people have issues with him. I ring my bell and help people with him constantly where I basically solo him while they stay back. Sometimes they get brave and try to get a swing in and die instantly somehow.
>>335253779
PRobably Raime
>tons of health
>bring in a phantom and most weapons do so little health you cant even see the light red when you attack him
>his sword punish
>paddle of doom
orbs of fiery doom
>i hope you destroyed his statues
>>335255659
Just put yourself between a tree and wait for the spray or the double claw smash and that is the moment to hit them and to get to the fresh crab meat.
>>335253779
>these are my subjective hardest bosses
>now cement my opinions as facts by participating in a strawpoll
Fuck you
>>335255760
How bad r u
flamelurker, artorias, 2cat, orphan, nameless king
>>335253779
Honestly don't see how anyone could have trouble with these. Haven't played bloodborne but all those souls bosses are stupid easy. Only died to O&S once and the others I didn't die to at all even on multiple playthroughs
How do you even beat this guy? At least Orphan give you an opening when jumping
>literally anyone voting for O&S or Maneaters
>it's a "vote for your first souls game because obviously that's going to be the hardest for you" episode
But Maneaters was piss easy, just annoying, and Rape Horse is harder than Orphan.
>>335256287
Artorias is easy as shit though, that "Slam while you're unable to move" move is bullshit though.
>>335253779
Old demon king was harder than all of these desu.
Even when I help people out with it the host and phantoms die 80% of the time.
Legitimately can't think of any hard bosses in 1 or 2. DeS was just slightly difficult because it was the first time playing a game like this.
>>335256856
He's just a poorly designed boss in my opinion
>Bloated as fuck health pool for no real reason
>reskin of the cleric beast at a base level
>second phase has AoE's on literally every attack
>every attack is a 70% health dealer
>some wonky hitboxes, especially the grab and aoe's
He wasn't actually that difficult for me, but it was more so on NG+ that I found him harder, as his bloated health was even more present, and his attacks did stupidly high percentages of my health.
Anybody not voting for Maneaters were just cheesing them.
>>335256856
Walk to the right in a circle.
>>335253779
Be honest, how many of you have done this?
>>335257537
Didn't work.
>>335257593
I'm sure you already tried and died within 35 seconds.
Daughter of Cosmos is harder than Orphan.
>>335257749
Circling around his strong arm was just a bad idea.
Next time I try I will walk to the left in a circle.
>>335253779
Orphan by far, it's not even debatable.
Orphan > Nameless King > Fume Knight > O&S >>>>>>>> Maneaters.
Orphan is the only Souls boss to be borderline DMC3 tier.
Four kings NG+
>>335253779
I love O&S but they were not the hardest
O&S > Maneaters > Fume Knight > Orphan > Nameless
I don't see how this kind of question is relevant because for most people it's going to just get easier as the series goes on, O&S took me upwards of 30 tries on my first time and Nameless king took 1
>>335253779
Where is Ancient Dragon?
That was the boss in the franchise who is actually any sort of challenge.
>>335258054
It's better to be near the huge arm. The other one is a grabber and does quicker slashes behind him for the same damage.
Circle around - hit once or twice after he whiffs
phase 2 - circle around until he stops, hit once or twice
He's very easy, you just have to be patient.
>>335258215
Orphan was a 3 tries and I won boss. And the first 2 tries got him down to 10% health. First 3 tries at nameless were almost instant death. And I don't mean king of storms, bird form is easy as fuck.
>>335258486
Orphan factually hits harder and faster than Nameless and has a health bar twice as large. What kind of backwards motherfucker are you? Are you a pizza cutter shitter or something?
>maneaters
>the boss you can cheese by shooting arrows through the fog door
>the hardest
at least put fool's idol if you're going to admit you're terrible at video games
>O+S
You've gotta be kidding me. Manus is much harder
>>335253779
Step aside faggots, real hardest boss coming through.
>>335258709
But Flamelurker is objectively the most difficult boss.
More people died to flamelurker than any other boss.
>>335256287
Artorias crumples to any shield with stability.
I have way morw trouble woth what 4kings than i do O&S
>>335258709
>Cheesing them
You're terrible at video games. Try being a man and facing them.
>>335258791
Crescent Falchion is about a 30 second kill on Lurker.
HSA is a 3 shot like 15 second kill with Insanity.
>>335258926
Fuck. I hated them so much I forgot about them. Easily the hardest boss in the game. Died to them so many fucking times.
>>335258709
>shoots a Maneater safely through a fog door
>calls someone else terrible
Every boss can be cheesed one way or another. Flamelurker is definitely harder than Maneaters but you can get him stuck behind some bones and beat him without getting hit.
>>335253779
Maneater was piss easy. Flamelurker was a real fight
>>335255105
If he was 'just' Gwyn what would that change as far as the topic of hardest bosses in their respective games, and the series?
>>335253779
>thunder and thighs/snorlax and pikachu/biggie and smalls
>Fume Knight
What is this meme?
>>335255105
Nah
He isOrnstein, who is actually gywn's firstborn. DaS1 Ornstein was probably an illusion created by gwyndolinThink about it. His name was struck from history after being banished (thats why he is nameless, duh), he wields the sunlight spears that Gwyn and his legions used to slay dragons. The swordspear is similar in design to the original DSS, but seems to be an updated design, and his old armor and weapon are scattered around the bridge on which you fight him. His history, from what he can guess, is that after being exiled, he decided to, instead of slaying dragons, dominate them for his own purposes
>>335256016
>You can walk around and dodge attacks
Yes on most bosses you can do this.
>>335258645
Orphan hitting harder doesn't matter if he doesn't get to hit me. I had 35 vit against orphan and 30 vig against nameless. Nameless has much bigger and much harder to dodge attacks. Orphan takes one or two swings and stops most of the time.
My first orphan win was with ludwig's meme sword, my second character used rakuyo and my third used simon's buttblade. I help people with the rakuyo character and regularly do 4000-6000 damage in one stamina bar after his first attack if I stagger him almost always sending him into phase 2 depending on how many NG+s the host was in and if they summoned a third person or not.
Nameless I was using a lothric knight sword for and it took me over 10 tries to beat him despite all memeposting. The only boss in 3 to take that many tries. The only boss in bloodborne that took me more than 2 or 3 tries was Ludwig.
The hardest bosses in the series are the cursed lvl5 chalice dungeon bosses. Everything else is childplay compared to them.
Raime took me 12 times to kill my first time fighting him
Namelsss king took 3 and orphan took 4
O&S is a joke fight, and man eaters is just whatever
How in the fuck people find nameless king hard?
He is slow as shit and leaves a huge opening for even a slow ass weapon. His dragon is a joke. You are literally retarded to even get hit while he is riding on his dragon.
>>335257569
Nigga, they are easy. What are you on about?
Ludwig is hardest BB boss.
He can fuck right off.
>>335257569
Easier than the well duo
>>335259240
>Nameless has much bigger and much harder to dodge attacks
What. Nameless is slow as fuck and most of his abilities are hugeless telegraphed. He repeats the exact same 1 -2 horizontal strike, throws in a verticle occasionally and then you have plenty of time to lay in.
His grabs is hugely telegraphed, his lightning bolt is so telegraphed you could go and make a cup of tea for your whole family in the space of time it takes to charge, and his charge attacks have a gigantice wind up.
Orphan has far longer combo, harder hitting ones, is factually faster than any ability Nameless has and has far quicker gap closers.
>>335259356
How do people find o&s hard? Each of them are less threatining than a lone silver knight, the first phase just takes a little patience
>>335253779
Manus is harder than O&S imo
I had a harder time with Pontiff than the Nameless King
How is O&S the hardest DaS boss? Manus was way harder, as was kalameet
>>335253779
>Ludwig
These are all funny ways to spell Ludwig.
>>335258786
HMPH
>>335257420
when i did the dlc, i did on my fresh NG+ file. It was hell, every single boss had buckets of HP and did 90% of my health in one shot, if not outright killed me
>>335259267
Being a huge fucking damage sponge doesn't make them hard.
Nameless is the easiest on there.
Beat fume after 30 tries or so but never beat the fucking orphan.
And I never even use shields so why is this impossible for me?
no summons.
>>335259531
I never said nameless was faster, but being slower doesn't mean his attacks are easier to dodge. He also combos much longer than Orphan ever will. The only "combo" orphan has that comes close is when he slams while walking forward a few times which you can literally just walk backwards to avoid. You can't just walk around nameless to dodge his attacks.
Orphan is fast, but always has the same windups and a factually small hitbox on his attacks. Nameless is slower but still fast, has feints, variable windups and a huge hitbox on his attacks.
>>335259674
I found pontiff easy for the same reasons as kos and maria, you can just walk around him to avoid a lot of attacks.
Old Hero can be pretty fucking hard if you're alive without thief ring
>>335253779
The camera during the Nameless King fight is the hardest boss in the game.
>>335259963
You like to the side or back instead of roll forward. In BB dashing forward gives you a huge invincibility window and uses less stamina. You almost always want to dash forward even if you're chaining them.
Wolnir is the hardest boss because of this bollocks.
>>335260254
I've always wondered, what's the drop on the ground in that arena?
>>335260357
It's the wardens tome. If you don't pick it up here it spawns to the left of the stairs after the altar with the skull after you beat Wolnir.
>>335259963
Bait Orphan into jumping over you, run under his leap and charge up for a sick 180 backstab. In second phase do the same thing, just gotta be patient and stay away from his tantrums, but he will do a similar leap attack that gives you the same opportunity.
>>335260414
so it's not missable then, good to know
>>335253779
I don't get it, none of those bosses are hard except MAYBE orphan
>>335259976
>He also combos much longer than Orphan ever will.
You're talking out of your ass and you know it. I have never seen nameless king attack more than 3 - 4 times consecutively without taking a break, and those attacks are also far slower and shorter range than Orphan.
If you're unlucky, Orphan's AI can shit out a 8 - 10 attack combo and can link his different combos together with very little space.
>>335258709
Obviously cheese strats aren't being considered you goon.
>>335259136
Sounds good, but you can confirm that he's the first born from his weap.
"The swordspear id imbued with lightning, of which he was the heir"
>>335260559
All bosses are easy, these are just the least easiest.
>>335254871
This. False King Allant is easily the hardest boss in demons
>>335253779
Is Old Demon King a bullshit boss or am I doing something wrong?
Also does he get curazy when you wear a certain armor or something?
He seems faster than when I first fought him
>>335253779
I thought flamelurker was harder than Maneaters.
>inb4 pillar
No cheese strats
>>335253779
I've always felt that Manus was harder than O&S.
Either, Orphan of Kos gets my vote.
Can't comment here unfortunately as I haven't played Bloodborne but Orphan is apparently an obscenely hard fight. Nameless King gave me some trouble until I put on Carthus Blood Ring, Fume I don't understand why anyone has trouble with same goes for Man Eaters. Biggie Smalls wasn't all that either, especially if you summon Solaire.
Sir Alonne was harder than Fume Knight
>>335260954
In Dark Souls 3? Just summon Cuculus, or if you don't want to summon, you could try ranging him? He hits hard but he's essentially Asylum Demon. You could always just bait out fire breath and spend the rest of the fight dodging.
>>335256856
Simon's Cheeseblade
>>335253779
man I wanna play DeS.
Kalameet is hard as fuck. So is Manus. I don't know why so many people vote Orphan. It's almost like that put thatbecause it was their first souls game and they're filthy casual faggots
>>335253779
>Nameless King
>Hard
I just
I just genuinely don't understand this. I beat him on my first try with pretty much no issue.
>>335260954
the close range fireball is the only thing dangerous about him. when he move his hand: roll away from him
>>335261560
Because you're good at the game dingus. He's difficult by design in terms of moveset and damage.
>>335259976
>He also combos much longer than Orphan ever will
Show me a NK combo longer than this. This isn't even Orphan's longest and it's not even his harder phase.
NK is a pushover slow feather hitting little babby in comparison.
>>335258786
How is he hard? You can stagger him with the 2handed sword
So is Solaire just chopped liver now? Just some guy?
>>335253779
I'd rank it...
Orphan > Raime >>> O&S = NK > False King Allant
But that's just me, familia
>>335261712
He's dead
>>335261529
Kalameet is only hard when you're after his tail, he's piss ez other than that. Manus I never found that hard and I fought him in NG++ my first time, he's really slow and has lots of recovery time.
>>335261712
>now
he always was anon, that was the entire fuckin point of his story
he was just a nobody
I feel like the fewest number of people beat this boss or even attempted it.
>>335253779
Manus and Ivory King are harder
Otherwise, yeah.
>>335261684
Not everyone is a Ludwig Memesword shitter anon.
>>335261679
>dodging away from his attacks
>>335261812
Was being the key word, he certainly earned his status as a carrier of new players.
>>335261875
You can do the same with the 2handed axe and even without those two weapons you can easily dodge his shit and stay behind him
>>335261885
>implying that's me
I've merely showing you his combo potential since you've obviously never played the game.
>>335261678
But see I don't agree with that.
Like there are bosses that I can beat no problem, but I can also see how they would be hard, and vice versa.
This just happens to be one I don't think is hard on any level.
Then again I didn't block a single time in the whole fight, maybe if I relied on blocking it'd be different.
>>335261679
That's not a combo dude
>>335261820
Lud and Zallen is probably the hardest boss fight in DaS2. Fume Knight is cake in comparison.
>>335260573
I think you're counting orphan stopping and standing still then attacking again as a combo. That is him stopping an attack. Sometimes he recovers from the AI rest pretty fast in 2nd phase but that's still not a combo. And you can still simply walk or dodge toward him to avoid a majority of the attacks he's using then.
>>335261820
Not because of the boss though.
>>335261978
Which most players both new and returning to the series very likely tried. I struggled with him until I started using Carthus Bloodring. When I say hard by design I mean he hits really hard, he's good at punishing a poor dodge, he's hell on stamina and has a giant health pool. Not to mention that his lightning stake and lightning call down have to be dodged perfectly with aforementioned ring.
>>335257420
>bloated health pool
not the games fault your build sucks
>reskin of the cleric beast
Visually and some attacks, sure. He has new moves too which is nice.
>second phase has AOEs on literally every attack
Not true, he has melee hits as well.
The AOEs are small too, meaning you can literally walk away from them
>every attack does 70%
Upgrade your health, thats not true at all
>wonky hitboxes
rare occurences for me at least, but true, yes.
>>335262003
>That's not a combo dude
Combo
noun, plural combos.
1.
Informal.
a small jazz or dance band.
Shit I guess you're right.
>>335260954
He's pathetic. Stray Demon tier. You're the first person i've ever seen have trouble with him
>>335261679
>1 attack into a 2 swing
>rest
>1 attack into a slam down
>rest then jump back
That's not a combo and you could have avoided all of that damage by dodging behind him to start with and strafing around while hitting him. But you're a pizza cutter shitter so you wouldn't know how to play
>>335262147
Sorry, without* Carthus Bloodring
>>335261969
I've platinumed bb, I was just noticing the piss poor playing style. I'm not the other anon
>>335262113
>I think you're counting orphan stopping and standing still then attacking again as a combo
There's maybe half a second recovery time before he chains into his next combo.
Even if you get all semantical about it, he still has far longer combos and less recovery time than Nameless King.
Nameless King will literally stop attacking for 3 - 5 seconds after he's finished his current onslaught.
>>335260954
I had a lot of trouble with him because his hammer kept pushing me in his balls, it's a problem I usually don't have with stray demons.
>>335260254
This is fucking bullshit.
You're suposed to destroy the fucking shiny things, and if he does the breath thing you only have to move to the wall.
>>335255039
Nah, he's way too slow to be the hardest.

>>335261679
I know the Dancer has a combo way longer than that though nobody but me seems to be having trouble with that slut so pffffphthhphbbt
>>335262372
I never had him stop for more than a second. I beat him by using rolling attacks on some of the slower swings
>>335262591
Oddly enough I did. My trouble bosses were Dancer, Nameless King and Princes. The rest were intense but winnable.
>>335259136
Wow, you're fucking retarded, son.
Dragonslayer armor:
In the dragonless age, this knight, who long guarded the ruined cathedral, left the land in search of thier nameless king.
Leo Ring:
Ornstein was the first knight of the sun's eldest born, and his cross spear is said to have pierced scales made of stone.
How the fuck am I expected to pay attention to the boss when this is going on? This boss is impossible
>>335262696
Mine were the abyss watcher, dancer and the nameless king.
The camera literally cannot keep up with the nameless king.
>>335262591
Dancer's kind of retarded because a ton of her swings can go right over your head.

>>335262901
>He's never attacked me more than 3x in a row.
That's some luck. He never attacked me less than 5 times in a row. And ended almost every attack with an aoe lightning explosion
Nameless isn't even half as aggressive as Orphan and telegraphs the FUCK out of his attacks. How anyone could think he's the harder boss is beyond me.
>>335256016
>You can walk around him to avoid most of his attacks
Yeah except most of Orphan's attacks also hit from behind.
>>335262886
I loved the Abyss fight but it became trivial when I realized you could just back off if you needed a breather and let them fight. 2nd phase was easy as piss as well, easier than 1st.
>>335263007
My nigger

Wut, killed him on second attempt. No summons or shield. I had way more problems with Pontiff and dancer.
Im getting rekt by Pontiff.
>in b4 everyone beat him first time without getting hit at SL1
>>335253779
Manus is harder than all of dark souls 2.
Nameless King isn't hard, you just have to go through the most boring, longest, arbitrary first phase until you have to fight him.
>>335263085
Only about 3 of em, which don't matter if you're at his side
>>335263173
Stop bullying that poor old Demon, he dindu nuffin
>>335263173
fucking bully
Nameless second part is really easy to read, only the first part is difficult, because of lolcamera, he's nowhere anything in Old Hunters or Dept 4-5 chalices.
>>335263216
Pontiff shat on my quite a lot at first. Fuck his stand so much

Maneaters >>>>>>> Flamelurker
>>335263364
Just give him the peace of death, you don't have to fuck him up first you rat bastard
>>335253779
Easily the Orphan of Kos.
Nameless King is actually really fair and telegraphs the SHIT out of everything he does. Kos is just constantly in your face, fucking up your shit. And then he enters Maximum Fuck You phase.
>>335263019
>He never attacked me less than 5 times in a row
He literally doesn't have a 5 hit combo though. Plus you can drain like 1/3 of his entire HP every time he does the 10 second long fucking lightning bolt shit.
The amount of recovery time you're given between combos is hilarious, and the fact that his attacks are so slow and telegraphed, he just stands there and waddles for 3 seconds after.
>>335253779
Change Fume to gank squad from the first DLC.
From my perspective as someone who goes full caster in every game, Nameless King was actually pretty easy. He doesn't have an answer to being pelted with soul arrows from max range except from shockwaves and his charge both of which are easy to avoid.
Orphan of Kos, Ludwig and Maneaters sodomise you no matter your build.
I'm playing DaS2 for the first time on PS4 to practice for 3. And I have a question.
The the FUCK do I git gud?
I've beaten the forest of fallen giants completely and I'm on my way to Heide's Tower of Flame. These huge knights are so hard to parry and roll away from.
Any tips? I fucking suck at Souls combat.
>>335263216
he gave me a bit of trouble at first but once you get what he's about then he isn't too bad
Here's what I did
>chucked on that ring that made rolling better,
>got a fuckload of firebombs ready for his clone (he dies in like 3)
>grass crest meme shield (blocks his stuff pretty good + stam. regen)
>stamina regen ring
then just git gud at dodging his attacks with a mixture of rolls and shield blocks
I found dropping your shield between attacks was key as fuck for this fight
I also did it with a slow ass weapon so if you've got a fast one it should be a bit easier
>>335261712He's the Lightning worm in Smouldering Lake. The sunlight maggot grew and grew
>>335263609
>Great shield babby
>>335263830
>I'm playing DaS2
Don't do this.
>>335263609
If he behaved like that for me I would have won first fight. Unfortunately I don't have any characters close to fighting him to record anything unless it was co-op which makes him way trivial.
>>335255514
supposedly September
>>335263830
>parry and roll away from
Don't bother parrying too much in DS2. Roll under their weapon, preferably into the swing so you don't get caught at the end of the swing and then slap them. If you're having trouble timing your rolls you might want to invest a few levels into ADP so you get more i-frames
>>335263954
Fuck off with this shit meme
>>335263609
Of course straightsword babbies would be the ones talking shit about NK being easy.
Hardest fight I had was the stupid NPC in BB that was at the end of the crow ladies questline fuck that guy
>>335263954
Not him, but what's wrong with DaSII?
Slightly unrelated
I've been getting some really shitty frame rates, to the point where it tells me that its not suitable for online play. I want to know if my computer is really that bad or is the port just bad.
Pic related is my specs.

That's purely speculation.

You guys are pretty dumb. I beat him with a Butcher Knife though.
>maneaters
>hard
Beat them on my first try
Hardest is either flamelurker or false king allant
>>335253779
SoC is way harder than NK. NK is pretty simple once you get his patterns down. SoC is ridiculous solo because he can just randomly change his whole fucking fighting style on the fly when you get too used to one and he's all up in your asshole all the time. Not to mention his second phase with that fucking combo chain that insta-kills you if you're not embered and at full health.
It took me like seven tries to beat that asshole. I beat NK in four.
>>335261820
it's because of the horses on the way to the boss. blue smelter had the same problem
>>335263890
When maggots grow up they become flies, not big worms.
>>335264054
Combat is horrible due to a number of reasons, like movement dead zones, enemy 360 degree tracking, attack turn rates and stamina usage
Level design is fucked stupid
Weapons feel samey and weightless
Massive graphical downgrade
Quantity over quality
>>335264054
level design is poop
>>335264171
Maneaters are like 4 kings, only difficult in ng+.
REMINDER THAT IF YOU SAY NAMELESS KING THEN YOU'RE A SHITPOSTER WHO HASN'T ACTUALLY FOUGHT HIM

Orphan reigns supreme. I still consider it the best designed boss From has done.
Also Flamelurker is far more difficult than Maneaters imo.
>>335264059
I have almost the same specs except I have an r9 390. That might be where you could use a boost unfortunately it's not cost effective quite yet to upgrade since you already have a decent gpu. Btw I run everything I've tried at 2560x1440 with ultra or high res with good frame rates right around 60 or more.
>>335264054
meme posting
>>335264412
Nah, best design would be Ludwig
Orphans second form is a bit too jump heavy for my taste
>>335264502
Can you even go pantsless in DS3? I don't like those shorts
Why do everyone keep saying Fume knight is hard as fuck?
He has like 3 really slow attacks that you can se coming from a mile away.
>>335264372
Pretty sure you're the shit poster champ, he's a difficult fight and that's that.
>>335264191
Most of cinder's forms are pretty easy though. Only curved sword and phase 2 were rough. Curved sword especially
>pulls out pyromancies
>uses power within
>fucking parry and ripostes you
>backflips like a wood grain ring faggot
Not so ironically his magic phase is the easiest one. Representing the shitiness of magic in DaS3
>>335264502
>that plastic moonlight sword
Is O&S really the hardest in DaS?
I suck dick at these games and it only took me a few tries to kill them. Compare that to the DOZENS of tries on Capra Demon. I barely make it through the Sewers or Sen's Fortress.
I felt like all it took was kiting and patience. As opposed to some of the other bosses you listed who will murder your ass in two seconds with no room for error or breathing.
>>335264684
From recorded success rates, and he has the highest rate of killing hte player.
>>335264830
It's magic buffed.
>>335256856
Just go close to him after he makes 1 move, hit him once, jump backward twice. Repeat until dead.
>>335264502
MY TRUE MENTOR
>>335257420
>every attack is a 70% health dealer
50 Vit is NOT a meme.
>>335264798
Lance phase is his hardest I'd say.
>>335264849
I mean all capra demon takes is pressing the circle button, I can understand dying the first time because you don't know what's coming but after that it's pretty easy to just dodge the initial attack and kill the dogs in one swing
>>335264830
If you look hard enough you can see the Hasbro logo on the hilt.
>>335264849
No, they're just very overrated.
Manus is way harder than Ornstein and Smough.
Four Kings in NG+ are also a nightmare.
>>335264684
Fume Knight mixes up slow and fast attacks which mess up most people dodge instinct. Almost all major DS2 DLC bosses use this strategy.
>>335265038
It can pull out some bullshit hitboxes and tracking but I didn't find it too bad. He could have just given me easy stuff to dodge though. He liked to poke, charge poke and weapon art charge over and over
>Bloodborne is winning
WE DID IT SONYBROS
>>335264015
if you refuse to use what works best can you really call a game hard? it's just you shooting yourself in the foot
>>335265176
You can't hide behind a shield in Bloodborne though, a fact that caught a lot of people off guard. The game is pretty difficult, even for Souls veterans, if they weren't already practicing their dodging and backsteps.

>flamelurker is hard meme
>one shotted Orphan of Kos
>had to summon help for Laurence and Ludwig
What is wrong with me?
>>335253779
>no Laurence
>no Loran Darkbeast
You don't know shit OP
>>335264171
flamelurker can be cheezed so hard though, just use the sneak ring to circle behind him, cast poison cloud and he will literally stand there as it drains his health. you could go take a shit and when you come back the boss is dead.
also you could snipe one of the maneaters through the fog gate with a bow and arrow. Demon's Souls had so many ways to cheese through it.
I thought Sir Alonne was harder than fume knight
then again its probably just the way there that's hard. Blue smelter and dual pets had the same problem.
>>335253779
I think Flamelurker should have been the DeS boss, that's much more of a casual filter
>>335264849
Capra Demon has one gimmick in the dogs at the beginning, after that it's a nothing boss.
>hyped about getting farron dart
>bare hands do more damage
so magic is basically just soul arrow spamming again huh?
>>335264502
holy SHIT that game aged like trash
I like that game too god damn
Man, I want to love the Fume Knight fight, but I still can't get over with how floaty he walks
Fuck the Orphan. Seriously.
>>335265597
DaS2 always looked like shit, that's what removing the lightning engine because of consoles does.
Such a bland and lifeless looking game.
>>335253779
for a first time player S&O would be probably the hardest considering the boss difficulty leading up to them
KOS is a mother fucker even when you know what you're doing
>>335260916
>>335254871
I find allant easier, mostly because it's 1on1 and he telegraphs all his attacks hard
I've never been a fan of boss fights against more than 1 guy, feels like actual artificial difficulty
>one on his own isn't tough enough with our design
>fuck it, just add a second one
it seems like the lazier option compared to making an individual boss stronger
>>335265584
Im so fucking disappointed in the magic of DS3
All the other games except BB had broken as fuck magic and BB finally got magic right, and actually balanced it well
Then DS3 just gimps literally fucking everything and does the same to ultraweapons too
fuck me right up senpai

>no one posted the hardest boss yet
>>335263216
I think I got him second time but honestly it was more luck than judgement. I kind of wish he had killed me a bit more it was a really enjoyable fight and I would have liked to keep doing it
>>335265597
>aged
It never looked good.
>>335255039
This. I did a solo on Orphan on NG+4 recently and only got hit like, three times. I have never beaten Laurence solo. On NG+3 or higher his damage output and health are so fucking ludicrous.
>>335253779
I would argue that Burnt Ivory King is much harder than Fume Knight due to all the horse shit with the mobs.
>>335265832
I don't think anyone has ever had problems with Smelter? Is the blue version any different?
>>335265832
>delayed attacks: the boss
>>335264948
MY GUIDING MOONLIGHT
>>335265832
Smelter Blue.0 was just as easy as the first smelter so long as you learned to dodge.
>>335265763
It would look like shit anyway, lighting engines can't fix this.
>>335253779
>Man Eaters
Are you kidding?
The Old Dragon God was harder then those two chuckle fucks. I'd say the hard ones were Flamelurker and False King Allant.
>>335253779
>fume knight

>DaS2

>>335265928
>I don't think anyone has ever had problems with Smelter?
You really underestimate how shit people are at videogames.
>>335265832
I beat that thing on my first try and I've shit all over both smelter demons every game. It's not a hard boss, it's literally just roll through its swings and remain aware that it can do shockwave attacks and small amounts of passive damage.
Getting to that thing is the most painful thing I have ever experience in a Soulsborne game, though. Iron Corridor has to be some kind of hellscape spilling forth into unprepared reality.
>>335263281
>first part
>difficult
lmao
>>335265597
this game was released in 2014
think about it
>>335264054
Many things but in this context it will not prepare you for III anything like the first one will. If you want a warm up, replay the original; the mechanics are much more similar
>>335265104
you can literally just hug Manus and he goes down no problem
Four Kings too
>hardest DeS boss
>not Old Monk
It's an invader, so they'll already likely have better gear than you
In addition they get a 25% health boost
And an automatic homing soul mass spell
If you cheesed the fight offline, end yourself
>>335266010
>lighting engines can't fix this.
You'd be surprised what a little radiosity lighting solution can do to even the blandest spaces.
>>335265763
why would consoles have anything to do with that? you do realize that this series was on consoles before PC right? fuck Demon's Souls looked better than this shit. DSII felt like a horrible graphical downgrade from DS
its kos but only because he just won't stop
>>335265316
>pretty much never used a shield in DaS1 or 2
>one shot almost every boss in BB
>>335263609
I wish he only did this shit when he fought me, there were multiple times i died because he out ran my lock on and stab me in the back in less then a second
>>335265832
that boss wasn't that hard
the hardest part was figuring out how to get to him, i did it first in ng++
all i had to do was hug the left wall, fuck that game desu
>>335253779
I would say orphan of kos. But I only fought him on NG+++ cause I didn't want to remake a character to fight on NG. Bloodborne has no re-playability. I will have to completely forget the game existed for another decade for me to even find enjoyment with playing it again. It is a great one time thing though.
2 bonfires within sight of each other. How the fuck is this acceptable. Any lorefags want to clarify the issue?
>>335265832
Ok, DSP.
>>335265597
It always looked bad.
People tried to salvage the games visuals with Sweetfx since day 0 but nothing made it look good.
>>335265597
It was always ugly. SotFS looks a bit better since it has lighting but not that much.
