What is the hardest souls boss ever? I haven't played 3 yet, but I would say for me it's probably Fume Knight, especially after he takes out his 2h sword
Probably Vordt.
>>339377353
>Fume
I killed him on the first try without even knowing about him in advance.
>>339377353
fume darklurker or nameless
I'm playing DaS2 as my first Souls game right now and having a tough time with Lost Sinner
Am I fucked when it comes to the next bosses?
>>339378779
DarkLurker is "hard" because you have to spend and effigy every time you die, and then you have to clear the area before the boss.
Nameless's problem is the filler dragon.
>>339379306
no darklurker is just fucking hard with melee but piss easy with magic or miracles
>>339379115
no sinner is one of the harder bosses
>>339377353
Manus is the hardest in DaS
Fume Knight, Elana Squid QueenNG+ especially, or... Ancient Dragon? I don't know, I haven't played DaS2 in a while.
Note: Ancient Dragon is a trash boss that can be cheesed. His damage is ridiculous though and if you get too cocky due to doing the same shit over and over you'll die.
Nameless King AKA "Equip blood ring and roll through him" King, Oceiros AKA "Bleed him out or just 100% shield his attacks" King, and Soul of Cinder.
I didn't have too much trouble with any of DaS3's bosses but I guess those would be the hardest.
And out of those three I had the most trouble withFume Knight.
>>339379647
Did fume knight 6th try and Elena on the 2nd. After dying to these cunts a bunch of times I just had to leave and do all the other DLCs before coming back to stomp them because I could always get Varg alone but there was nothing I could do against his infinite stamina, homing attacks, and massive damage. Fuck the graverobbers so much.
My personal list of "hardest" bosses:
1. Orphan of Kos
2. Nameless King
3. Champion Gundyr
4. Fume Knight
5. Ebrietas
6. Twin Princes
7. Ludwig
8. Pontiff Sulyvahn
9. Lud and Zallen
10. Soul of Cinder
Sir Alonne was a lot worse than Fume Knight
>>339380585
Dancer is WAY harder than Gundyr. At least I thought so.
>>339377353
Did someone call?
>>339377353
for me..
-orphan of kos
-darklurker
-abyss watchers (yes, rly and i beat nameless king within a couple tries)
every boss in every game 0 summons
>>339381045
Not even that bad, just quick. Find Nameless with his dodgy hitboxes worse.
IF Bloodborne is considered Souls then nothing.
Nothing, beats defiled watchdog
>mfw fast as fuck and EVERY HIS ATTACK oneshoots you
Literally artificial difficulty at its peak
>>339377353
Not even close, he is slow as fuck and after playing BB and DS3 every boss in DS2 is attacking in slow motion
>>339379306
The dragon isn't even hard, just a waste of 5 minutes.
I died on him 3 times but it got to the point where I stopped getting hit during the Dragon Phase. What tedious and garbage design.
>>339380524
>mfw beating them on my first try with 0 estus left
Felt fucking good.
>>339380524
>walk into grave robbers for first time
>observe laziest boss in souls history
>equip poison throwing knives
>kite for 40 minutes
WEWLAD ACHIEVED
Sihn made me suffer for a few hours
>>339378445
Wow, you're a real pro, you didn't even need a guide. Can we be friends?
>>339380524
I had such a hard time with this fight at first until I cheesed it with large club's pancake attack, That attack really is fucking ridiculous for pve.
>>339379115
Play ds1 first man. Please.
>>339379476
I beat dark lurker second try with the sunlight sword on a pure melee character. Shit was cake. Not even in the same class as Nameless King or the orphan.
>>339377353
Maneaters
My personal hardest bosses:
1. Defiled Amygdala
2. Defiled Watchdog
3. Orphan of Kosm
4. Nameless King
5. Laurence
6. Keeper of the Old Lords
7. Twin Princes
8. Sir Alonne
9. Oceiros
10. Maria
>>339382265
I would but thekb+msupport is extremely shit
>>339381727
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ldtxCeVO00
Doesn't look too hard, are you sure you just don't suck at the game?
>>339377353
Fume and Soul of Cinder. Nameless is a big meme, and on of the worst bosses design wise.
>>339380665
I want to disagree, but NG+ Dancer killed me so much more than Gundyr. It was like 1-2 shitpost attempts to try parrying with Gundyr, but Dancer killed me at least 4 times because she hits so damned hard.
Can I post the most disappointing boss?
The Last Giant.
That cutscene walking into there made me think I was in for a ride. Turns out all I had to do was run in circles.
>>339382615
Why does Bloodborne look exactly like a souls game? Why didn't they just call it Dark Souls (number)?
>>339382615
Not him, but that guy is probably way overleveled, like in the 150+ range. He does so much damage and has so much health (health gets cut in Defiled dungeon)
All 3 of the defiled bosses are top 10 worthy in terms of difficulty.
The people of this website
>>339382619
You have shit taste. Fume is an awful "Did you get rid of the healing orbs in the corner" gimmick fight and Soul is a Gwyn re-hash with a "player-character" first form. Nameless is unique and difficult.
>>339382983
this also
i thought i was fucked at first
>>339383043
They look alike but play very differently.
>>339382615
He's 150, way overleveled
>>339382615
How about you try for yourself
>>339382615
if you just don't lock on and move to his left constantly, baiting the bites, he will literally never hit you and you can attack his leg once or twice, if he does the vomit attack you can leg get an absolute fuck ton of hits in.
Still poor boss design though for the defiled chalice.
He uses the charge attack far too much in situations that don't necessitate it.
It reminds me of being right up close to ludwig and ebrietas and they would use the charge attack, it's kind of retarded.
>>339383043
Why does Dark Souls look exactly like Demon's Souls? Why didn't they just call it Demon's Souls 2?
(hint: Dark Souls is not called Dark Souls because it sounds edgy and cool, it's because the story revolves entirely around the Dark Soul.)
>>339383043
Because it's a different game in a different setting entirely.
>>339382615
Nigger, you didn't fight it. A video of someone beating it who has practiced the fight forward and back does not give you the right to put yourself on a pedestal. I'm not him but I have beaten that fucker on two different characters and I can confirm he's harder than anything else in the series. Even at 50 vitality, which is the hp cap, he will one shot you with his charge or kill on any combo. The dungeon has a passive effect which cuts your max hp in half and there's no way to answer it other than just not getting hit.
Nothing in dark souls 2 that's for damn sure because of the broken I frames related to ADP. I'm betting OP has low ADP thus struggling with Fume.
>>339382348
>Oceiros
>hard
beat him first try without even trying and bein low on estus
>>339382619
>worst
You mean "best"
I only played DS3 (no other souls) one time, solo.
The hardest I saw was the Nameless King, Twin Princes, Soul of Cinder.
>>339377353
LITERALLY
IMPOSSIBLE
>>339379476
Darklurker is a joke. You just use Goldpine Resin on your sword and beat the shit out of him as he splits and he dies extremely fast.
>>339384165
As soon as his 2nd stage starts, he annihilates me.
>>339378445
>lying on the internet
>>339384525
Standing behind him while he is charging the wall is all thats to it. Just dont attack him head on.
His spin is slow and hasn any range.
>>339380585
>>339382348
interesting no logarius. i died to him more than any other soulsborne boss.
hardest in no specific order, played at ng+7 and/or depth 5 defiled
lud & zallen
fume
laurence
orphan
pthumerian descendant
i would say ludwig but im pretty sure ive mastered him, he almost never hits me on phase 1 or 2 anymore. thanks bl4.
>>339378445
I defeated him on my second try. I didn't fucking knew he would regen his health and aahhhhhh. Second time he had no health regen going for him.
>>339380585
How the fuck did you have trouble with Kos ? Or is that listed from easiest to hardest?
>>339385272
Are you retarded?
>>339382619
Nameless is shit but SoC is even worse.
>>339380585
>Twin Princes
You had more trouble with twin princes then cinder, what in the fuck
>>339377353
Lure him into those venomous things in the room before him
>>339385417
Literally why are you butt mad? just curious
>>339385021
I didn't have much trouble with Logarius, nor did I have trouble with Pontiff, who was even easier.
I didn't have any trouble with Ludwig either, but Kos and Maria kicked my teeth in. By far the hardest were the chalice dungeon bosses though. Even Keeper of the Old Lords took me more tries than any other non-defiled dungeon boss in the series. If you could tank hits like the other bosses, it'd be different.
>>339383298
Then why is the Dark Soul called the Dark Soul?
>>339386287
Because the Dark Souls is a Soul that is Dark.
>>339385272
>pointing out Orphan of Kosm
>not Chump Gundyr, Ebrietas, Pontiff or Fume.
"The Champ" is one of the easiest bosses in Dark Souls 3. Only iudex, vordt, sage, greatwood, deacons, wolnir, yhorm and Wyvern are easier, and three of those are gimmick bosses, one is the fucking tutorial boss.
>>339384087
Even with 116 agility the roll only has 3 more frames than other souls games you dumbfuck, and you'd have to have 99 Adaptability with more attunment on top of that.
>>339386652
What do you think is hard guy
>>339386821
Well... all the bosses not listed are harder than Champ. Process of elimination really.
>>339386928
It would take less effort if you could just list out what bosses you find difficult. Not even trying to be snarky, I'm just curious
>hard boss thread
>half the replies are lies or had already forgotten their first playthrough
>>339385962
>just curious
No you're not, your bait failed and now you're pulling a "u mad" as a backup.
Kill you are self to be honest family.
The only hard boss I ever faced in a soulsborne game was ornstein and smough and that might have been because I played dark souls first. I've never died to another boss in the series as much as I did with them. If hardest is counted as the one I dies to the most itd be them.
I'm really surprised at how many people are posting blood borne bosses. I found that to be the second easiest in the series next to demon souls. Dark souls 2 was difficult in a broken way.
Bloodborne has the hardest bosses if you include DLC and dungeons.
DeS or DaS1 has the easiest bosses.
>>339387137
How the fuck is that even bait? It's a thread about what boss you find difficult you defensive shitlord
Can you not just answer the question
>>339377353
i beat him on the second try so he rates up there with the tutorial boss in DS3 where i also died once
Nobody had trouble with Kalameet? That's the only souls boss to give me a really hard time. Never even bothered with the tail cut.
When you think about it, none of the bosses are actually hard because they all have that one move that leaves an opening which give you a free hit or two
Fume Knight has that spinning sweep in his second phase, Nameless King and Champ have the lunge attack
All you have to do is just wait
>>339387137
Jesus dude. Just because someone doesn't find a boss hard doesn't mean they're baiting. You find pontiff easy I bet even though lots of people list him as difficult.
>>339379476
I honestly killed darklurker first try as melee
whats hard about him? even when there are 2 of them hes attacks are super slow and are easy to dodge
Cinder was easy because I was wanting to get Yuria's set so I summoned her plus I kept smashing him in the back with charged Memelight Greatsword every time he switched focus.
>>339377353
The Rotten with no points in agility.
>>339387374
It's funny how different people's experience with Souls games are - I found Kalameet really easy after getting absolutely destroyed by Manus for several hours. Think I beat him on like my 3rd attempt.
>>339387412
Yes thank fuck someone mentions this. If you watch most videos on easy non parry clears of bosses it's just them keeping distance and baiting the one lunge that lets you hit them. Kosm is particularly dumb for this because his arena is fucking gigantic
>>339387374
The tail cut is extremely annoying to do anyways. Only two of his attacks make his tail touch the ground. What's worse is the weapon isn't that great
>>339387253
>calls me mad
>goes apeshit when called out on bait-tier opinions
>>339387449
You're a legit retard if you're baffled by the idea of finding orphan hard yet are fine with twin princes, sulyvhan and SoC.
>>339387716
Pretty sure you're the only one baiting here and haven't actually played them
>>339387716
He hit me 4 times when I cleared it. I really don't know what to say. You can keep a ridiculous distance from him whenever you want.
>>339387823
I've played every single Souls game on release but alright.
>>339387936
I've fucked twenty bitches every night since I was 12
>>339387928
I'm not even doubting you finding him easy, i'm calling you a retard for thinking the other guys mentioned are harder.
>>339387058
This is my list:
>>339382348
If you mean who I find hard from DS3, then Nameless King, Oceiros, Twin princes and Aldrich.
I also found Old Demon King much harder than Champ.
>>339377353
Hardest for me is Champion Gundyr.
>tfw retarded
>tfw you went from DS3 to DS1
>tfw rolling feels a lot "tighter" and constricted in DS1 & DS3
I don't even know what I'm doing wrong. I've rolled through every boss in DS3 and yet I'm getting my ass beat trying to do a no shield run here.
>>339387643
I didn't have much trouble with Kalameet. I had more trouble with Manus and Artorias by far.
>>339387643
I was kind of disappointed with Manus because after like 20 or 30 tries with Kalameet I beat him on my second try. Might have something to do with different builds people use though and just the way they approach fights.
>>339388225
*DS1 than DS3
Burnt Ivory King is a goddamned nightmare.
Lud and Zallen are broken tier.
Lawrence on NG+ is nigh impossible.
Watchdog and the Darkbeast (not Paarl) are horseshit.
Beyond that, I'd say Smaug and Epstein, Ludwig, Orphan and maybe Pontiff or Nameless King are tough.
>>339387374
I must have been killed by Kalamari at least 50 times.
>>339377353
Personally? This fucker gave me a ton of trouble.
>Fume Knight
>Hard
>Equip Velstaldt helm
>Enjoy ezmode
Hardest souls boss is so dumb because the souls games are only as hard as you make them by your build
>>339387172
I actually like how no one ever mentions smough and ornstein anymore when it comes to hard bosses even though guaranteed the majority of people who play souls had them as the first real wall in the series.
I never managed to beat the Flamelurker without cheesing him with soul arrows.
Granted it was a long time ago, but he was still a motherfucker.
>>339388225
I had trouble going from DS1 to DS2. I got my ass kicked.
Then from DS2 to BB, I got absolutely shrekt.
Then from BB to DS3, I had no trouble until I got to the bosses, and they kicked my ass for a bit, but it was the least painful transition.
If I had gone from DS2 to DS3 it would have been worse than going from DS2 to BB I think.
>>339388494
That was flamelurker or maneaters
>>339388345
No defiled Amygdala?
>>339388165
What the fuck is wrong with people, everyone says champion gundyr is so hard. I beat him first try without even trying and I suck, I spent 2 hours at pontiff and 1 at Dancer for fuck's sake
>>339388557
But dark souls was the multiplat of the series so when I mean majority I really mean that.
>>339388646
Pontiff is easy as fuck if you use a greatshield.
>>339388676
if were just talking about the dark souls, i'd say capra cockblocked people a lot more then o&s
the amount of shitposting about capra when it came out on pc was breathtaking
>>339388646
This.
They teach you exactly how to beat Champion Gundyr at the beginning of the game, when they feed you Iudex. I'm shocked people had trouble with him. It's like if they made you fight the Doll before fighting Maria.
>>339388225
Because DaS1 is an older game with less refined mechanics.
For starters, the equip load is tuned completely different in DaS1, with much more solid divides between light/mid/fat rolls, without the visible percentage to work with. You need to do the math
If you're wearing <25% of your max equip load, you're light rolling. Between 25 and 50, you're mid rolling. Anything more and it's fat rolls for you.
END is equip load AND stamina in DaS1, so level the shit out of it if you want to roll through everything with no shield.
>>339388817
any boss becomes easy when you use a greatshield, not trying to discredit people I dont care how you kill a boss. but if you need a greatshield to get through the game your opinion is going to be taken a lot more lightly
>>339388225
DS3 has Bloodborne rolling, where you have so many invincibility frames you can just phase through attacks.
DS1 rolling is more of a movement thing, it's a lot less safe. I think it still has i-frames but it's way riskier. You have to have light equipment and the ninja ring to really get near to that bloodborne rolling.
The first one is more sword and board. At least until you get really good at it.
>>339388892
Rolling is also a lot more costly in ds1 compared to 3. Ds3 makes it feel like I can roll endlessly even when I hit empty stamina
>>339377353
I beat Fume Knight and the rest of the Iron King and Sunken King DLC fairly easily but for some fucking reason I CANNOT beat Aava... Guess I'm just retarded and my brain just glitches when I'm trying to figure out when to dodge or attack properly.
>>339389110
Well then, you're going to need to adjust your play style.
Thinking you could go into a different Souls game and just immediately do a no-shield run was the height of hubris. You need to manage your stamina wisely in any Souls game, but DaS1 most of all. Again, level the shit out of endurance, it'll save your ass.
>>339388646
Different builds, different playstyles. THE CHAMP wrecked me first time I fought him cause I didn't know his patterns and he basically exists to punish sippys.
Second playthrough with heavy mace was a joke, I beat him first try while fatrolling. He only lets you get in like 1 attack, but if your one attack takes a huge chunk of his health he dies real fucking quick.
If you're chipping away at him with a dagger and light armor you better be timing every single one of those 5 billion rolls just right or else you're gonna have a bad time.
On pretty much every character I try and fight every boss but I refuse to ever fight Lud and Zallen solo ever again
Also for whatever reason I beat Orphan of Kos and Champion Gundyr my first try and Fume Knight my third try while I struggled for hours on Maria and Sir Alonne, bosses a lot of people on /v/ found rather straightforward and easy.
>>339389301
Wait until you get passed that, you can fight two at once. I actually forgot about that until you posted it.
>>339379306
Im with anon on this one, the dragon does nothing but make you chug estus occasionallywould've been better if the king of the storm was the ancient wyvern and you fought a very pissed off nameless at the end of the area
>>339388817
Pontiff is easy as fuck always. I breezed through him first time around, and I expected a harder fight on NG+ and beat him in no time again.
>>339377353
According to the Srawpoll /v/ had with something like 2500 votes, Orphan of Kos was the Hardest. Followed surprisingly by Ornstein and Smough, then Fume Knight.
Kalameet is the hardest boss for melee fags, that dude has a fucking ton of fucking health and cant stay put for the life of him, thankfully hes optional
Ivory king is definitely the hardest for lazy players (like myself) that cannot trudge throw kilometers and kilometers of snow and repetitive enemies just to rescue 4 knights and make the fight significantly easier, also dodging him is nigh impossible once he goes full skimo with the ice magic
Nameless king is the worst possible fight for people with fat rolls, hitboxes are simply unreasonable bullshit, its a shit boss fight also
Kings Pet aava is ridicolous for people with slow weapons
Orphan of kos is boring as fuck with an unnecessarily high amount of health that drags the shitty hitbox fight for wayy too long, in the end wasting the players healing items for spending so much time on a single fight and just whittling him down slowly
Sulyvahn is kinda hard for people that can't parry properly but even then its doable if youre decent with cinnamon rolls
Fume Knight (along with his invisible hitbox minion) is a pretty hard fight for shield users i guess, it beat my ass if i wasnt two handing
champ gundyr isn't hard unless youre bad at literally everything, but god damn the fight is awesome
pursuer is literally CASUAL FILTER: THE BOSS
>>339388225
>>tfw rolling feels a lot "tighter" and constricted in DS1 than DS3
No shit. DS3 has 8 way rolling, Dark Souls 1 only has 4 way rolling.
>>339390362
>Kings Pet aava is ridicolous for people with slow weapons
Nani? My easiest time was wrecking him with a 2 handed Zwei
>>339390362
I actually really liked the Orphan of Kos, one of my favorite Bloodborne bosses.
This fucker from Bloodborne is the hardest enemy in the whole series, hands down.
Feels like fighting a good player but he has hacks,
I'm only 20 hours into DaS2 for now so I can only speak for DaS but the boss I had the hardest time beating was Artorias. It took me about 6 hours, although I know I coul've beaten him a lot faster by breaking his power-ups but I read about it somewhere on the internet before the fight so I refused to actually do it and he punished me for it
>>339377353
The Hitbox
Dragon God
>>339389301
do you have 25 in agility?
>>339391093
>numbing mist
>poison daggers
And he's done.
>>339391280
>cheesing
Then no one is hard.
>>339391228
If we ever fought dragon god and not his fists he would probably absolutely wreck the player and every other boss in soulsborne. Nigga was fucking strong and huge
The bosses I do and don't have trouble with are always backasswards from what seems to be the common experience.
>Beat Ornstein & Smough on my second attempt, first real attempt
>Bell Gargoyles wrecked my shit 20+ times, have to grind like fuck.
>Beat Ocerios on first attempt, with only 3 estus on hand.
>Repeatedly fucked by Moonlight Butterfly
>Kick the Dancer's shit in, almost by accident
>Literally cannot beat Gwyn (because I never bothered with learning to parry)
At least we all beat Pinwheel on our first try... right?
>>339389301
This asshole made me burst a vein, it's all because you can't see his fucking left paw when he's charging a swing and there's a random delay to it.
Fight is great though.
>>339377353
In a pure one-on-one? Nameless king or Champ Gundyr
>>339391093
Basically Bloodborne's Old King Doran.
>>339391093
Bloodborne was probably the best Souls game in regards to making actual difficult NPC enemies. Even DS III NPC invasions are easy.
either ludwig, orphan, or maybe abhorrent beast (in the tougher chalices and without just poison-knife-cheesing him)
>>339377353
arguable this motherfucker
>>339383298
They couldn't call it Demon Souls 2 because they didn't have the rights to the name. So they created a game based around Dark Souls instead.
>>339391596
>Kill Abyss Watcher, Aldrich, Oceiros, The Champ, Dancer, and Soul of Cinder first try

>don't even get the trophy for killing the fucking thing
If you dont say Kos or Ludwig you expose yourself as a pc only player
So far I've only played 1 and NG+ Four Kings are pretty tough.
O&S are overrated, specially Thunder Smoug, Giga Ornstein is alright.
Bed Of Chaos is fucking bullshit
Manus isn't that hard, Kalaamet's only thing is that he has a shitload of health.
Gwyn is piss easy.
Artorias was of acceptable challenge and he's probably the most fair fight in the game
>>339377353
But he's so passive and show. You literally cannot hero but Dodge him. He's easier than almost ever boss in ds1 or ds3.
Hardest in the stores for me was probably. ..
Well o&s might have been at the time but I was worse at the game then. If o&s isn't the hardest, then the Hardest period might have been
Ludwig or Orphan of Kos
>>339392381
Great image.
He wasn't so bad though, nothing in that game was really that tough. Hardest would probably be the people's champ.
>>339390362
Nk is bad because he's hard with fat rolls? Who the Fuck fat rolls?
>orphan was boring
Ah, that explains it. You've either shit taste or you're terrible. Opinions discarded.
Darklurker was a nightmare with the shortsword
BB had the hardest bosses for me and I've played all the games.
