What's the best boss battle From Soft has ever made and why is itthe rape horse
>>344339809
For once I agree. Ludwig was frustrating at first but there was a point it all made sense and his difficulty was just right.
nice try sonygger but namless king is better
>>344339809
>>344340731
haha thats cute
>>344339809
Nah.
>>344339809
>rape horse
Had many keks when I was summoned by a Farnese build
personally i think all of the late stage das3 bosses are just as good as manus/artorias/rapehorse/maria/orphan.
bosses like champ gundyr, oceiros, twin princes, and dragonslayer are all the same tier of great as the oft-lauded bosses from other games.
>>344339809
the sound and visual queues for this boss were honestly god tier
like when he jumps up in the air youre are able to tell exactly when he'll land due to the excellent art direction
fuck this boss was the best shit
>>344341382
>Oceiros
>Not a 20 second joke boss
Nigga have you even played the game?
>>344341382
Oceiros and dragonslayer armour were ok-tier tho
>>344340892
>Your summon is inside the fight
>Boss doesn't translate well to all builds
>You can kill him with arrows from far away
Hey man, I like Manus as much as anyone else but I think it could use some improvements.
THE CHAMP

>yfw 1:06 chorus kicks in
>>344341041
Nameless King is tough-guy tier. He's real fun to play against but best suited for high level characters. I'm having flashbacks to all the scrub builds that I was summoned to help with.
>>344339809
I wish he was a little less cheap in phase 1. That repeated chomp attack and the stampede attack are vicious.
>>344339809
>Boss held back by console limitations
>Good
>>344341771
>Gundyr enters the ring
He was pretty badass, but I felt like his fight was a bit clunky. I like the concept though. He felt like he was a high-powered MC that knew what he was doing.too bad he was late to the party
>>344342220
Why do you think we call him rape horse?
>>344341771
Would almost perfect if not for the fucking 180° charge
My favorite.
>>344342593
>that Valtr
Fucking saved
And that chomp attack wasn't hard to dodge, I think it didn't even hit you if you were standing directly under him
>this many responses
>no Drake & Josh
c'mon
>>344339809
I still like artorias a hell lot but ludwig and lady maria are OP.
>>344342702
My nigga
I really liked the option of bringing in all the knights to help. Something about charging in with the four knights and Lucatiel made it feel truly epic.
>>344342702
This fight was fucking amazing on solo.
Pity you had to sit through the mediocre burnt knights stage.

Seriously, if you died to any boss besides Nameless King you shouldn't play BB.

>>344340731
>>344341041
>>344341993
ludwig is boring as hell wasnt it by the mid cutscene, double moveset bossfight coupled with a decent soundtrack, all that magic and LOL RUNNIN AT U attacks really get so fucking sore after the first fight, hell, maybe even during the first one
nameless king is broken as fuck, hitboxes are a nightmare, he can be cheesed so ridicolously easy with that shield, unnecessary first phase
the only right answer to op's question is my man john cena also known as
CHAMPION
G
U
N
D
Y
R
any other answer is simply wrongbest soundtrack is pic related, fite me fags
best buildup and entrance is ivory king
best feels boss is gwyn
best girl boss is gwyndolin
best atmosphere boss is moon butterfly, shame its so short
best git gud barrier is fume knight
best horror+ final boss is orphan of kos
best optional is yet again my man champ gundyr
best first boss i have yet to decide, wait nevermind, MY MAN GUNDYR!!!!!!!
>>344340892
Manus was a fucking joke, I don't think he hit me a single time, telegraphs like a mofo
>>344342702
>dark souls 2
I wish you mother had aborted you.
Who would win in a all-out-fight between. Old King Doran, Knight Artorias, Sir Alonne and Lady Maria.
My bet's on theOld Burger King
>>344343780
Is that fucking transformers meets dragon ball?
>>344343923
what the fuck is good about gundyr you retard? only decent boss in the game is abyss watchers second phase, and that's because it's lady maria downgraded
>>344343940
It's one of the weakest games, but that's my favorite fight. Excellently put together.
>>344339809
but anon, the best boss is pic related
Anyone have the webm of Gundyr sped up?
>>344343987
All my money on the old guy of happy dreams, he's way faster and agile than everyone exept Maria, and he's way more experienced than her
>>344341771
man that kick was wrecking my shit so much in the beginning lol
but no he didnt take anywhere near as many tries as rape horse did, nor was he anywhere near as artistically spectacular. sadly he felt like just another generic souls boss you've seen a plenty times before
>>344344219
>EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH flashbacks
>>344344219
>tfw my first time fighting him was on NG+
Definetly the hardest boss in Bloodborne for me

>>344344647
I don't bother helping Nameless King anymore, retarded people are calling 2 phantoms and just dying because killing the boss takes an hour
>Or some say Kosm.
What did he AWOOOOO by that?
>>344344828
yeah I gave up on those types of hosts, the one in the video had 2 other phantoms and they both died to the drake.
>>344340816
nameless king is a boring fight he has like 10 attacks, his phase transition from
"boring dies in 5 hits dragon that breaths fire away from you for 10 minutes while you kill it"
to
"telegraph king of like 5 different attacks"
hes a meme
>>344344921
But he's a meme that hits hard, surely the best boss ever
>>344344921
But DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE he's like the Firstborn, you know like Gwyn's son. Only us DS nerds know this though.
>>344344219
a senseless hitsponge that lasts too long for its own good best boss? no
maybe hardest if you are shit at dodging, but thats as far as it gets
>>344345214
>maybe hardest if you are shit at dodging, but thats as far as it gets
You just described every Souls boss ever
>>344345214
>hardest if you are shit at dodging
Wow you just summed up every boss in video games ever.
Without a doubt
The perfect last fight for the Dark Souls series
>>344339809
i cant decide who has a better ost
ludwig or gehrman
Are basing it off legitimately good designed bosses or just your favorite boss? Favorite is Lady Maria. Legitimately good designed boss? Manus or Artorias
>>344345728
They are both elder god-tier in terms of how they fit their fight
>>344341382
champ and twin princess are awesome fights dont get me wrong
but dragonslayer and especially oceiros were lackluster at best
>>344345528
imagine if they allowed him to be parried lol
Every game has a badass that gets talked up in the main game only to appear in the DLC and be the best fight. Dark Souls has Artorius, Dark Souls 2 has Fume Knight and Alonne, Bloodborne has Ludwig. Hell, Demon's has no DLC but Old King Doran kinda counts.
Is that cycle going to continue? Do we have anybody that could be? There are limited options. Is the Queen of Lothric going to show up and be a complete beast somehow? Or is this all just a complete coincidence that its all worked out like this in past games?
>>344345528
>DUUUUDE IT'S LIKE GWYN!! YOU GET IT? DARK SOULS 1 REFERENCE
>>344345932real Ornstein
>>344345949
Dae remember this fight? *Piano plays" you remember that???
Is the Hunter's Pistol a viable endgame weapon? I like how quick on the draw it is and only ever use it to parry or fuck up weaker enemies. If not Hunter's, what's a good alternative?
>>344344675
it was both different and bad
>>344346110
none of the guns are good without investing in BLT
the Hunter's Pistol does pretty good chip damage until the end game if you keep it upgraded to +9/+10, and slip in the +20% BLT damage gem that you find in the Healing Church Workshop
>>344345919
>he can't be parried
>he can actually parry the player
fuckin' A
>>344346110
All pistols are viable it all depends on what you want to do with it. There are ones for damage, crowd control and precise parrying.
>>344346110
It, the repeater and the Evelyn are the only legitimately good sidearms in the game.
>>344345528
which is vastly inferior to bloodborne
>>344346279
How shit do you have to be in this game to get parried by him?
I finished the game 3 times and didn't know this
>>344345932
The Demon Prince?
>>344345932
Kaathe. We finally get to see what his Diglet bottom looks like.
>>344346329
hunter's blunderbuss does almost 1000 damage per shot at close range if you level your BLT
>>344346374
He parries you on wakeup from his stagger when he's in curved sword+pyro mode. It can catch some people off guard.
>>344345932
No, you're thinking inside the box. Think of something that didn't get rehashed.
certainly nothing from a souls game
>>344346534
>Think of something that didn't get rehashed.
But aren't we supposed to think like Miyazaki?
>>344346279
Phase 2 can be parried though
Just not riposte
Besides having Pontiff/Gundyr being parry/riposte able is enough
>>344346110
all weapons in bloodborne are viable
Abyss watchers is best battle

>>344346675
Except the Stake Driver.
its agreeable if you played bloodborne, that the dlc contains pretty much the best boss fights in the series
but heres a point with some more varying opinions
who was the best boss in bloodborne before the dlc?
i say logarius

nope

>>344347034
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwFA2VdCGcY
>>344346912
i think gehrman with the ost would be the best in the main game
music aside i have the most memories of logarius though
the way he chained his attacks together in the first phase was awesome because you're always looking for an opening to strike while trying not to get hit once because if he combos his shit right you're dead
then phase 2 kicks in and hes striking down from the sky at you on top of easily the most memorable castle in a souls game
just a great fight
gehrman was great, but i feel like he should have used his scythe form on the burial blade more and had more moves
>>344346828
DefinitelyMicolash;^0AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>344347152
There you go, it was missing the best half of phase 1.
>>344347178
the first time around micolash is a pretty great and fun experience, every other playthrough though hes just sitting there to remind you that a hunter is a hunter even in the dream
but alasnot too fast ;(
>>344342831
I'm literally playing DS1 right now and am at their boss gate. Lost a few times and my buddy is coming over to summon in and take them out together.we never summon besides ourselves, total bro-op throughout the series
This is also my first play through of 1. Sort of a blind run but I've heard name dropping here and there. But yes Ben & Jerry is my favorite fight so far in this game
So this thread is just "What's your favourite boss fight?" And not best boss fight right?
My favorite is gargoyles from das2
>>344347392
Dank.
>>344347350
>>344347178NOW I'M WAKING UP...I'LL FORGET E V E R Y T H I N G !!!

>>344340892
''i dont have a ps4:the post''
he is super easy compared to ludwig.
>>344347510
Living Failures is amazing in the way the fight blends with the music.I literally saw the cosmos
>>344339809
Burnt Ivory King = Laurence = Ludwig = Nameless King if he had better music
NK should've had 10000000x more intimidating music. For a character so powerful, so important and the son of fucking GWYN he should've been the god king of all bossfights. Instead he has a mediocre OST with an absolutely perfect arena. Pontiff Sulyvahn is the best boss in the base DaS3 game.
Laurence has the best OST in any From game to me, though.
>that music
>that lore
Its too fucking good
>>344347510
it's the only bunch of enemies fight i've died in the series yet but the meteors are bullshit
>>344347656
>le difficult = best meme XD
>>344347656
Anon, people like Ludwig because of his ost, his lore and cutscene. Not his overall fight. The only tough fight in bb was depth 5 phtu
Art is east but let's not pretend Ludwig is super tough.
>>344347568
was running through the game once with a shit build and a +3 weapon (holy moonlight) at around level 50
if just half of his call beyond hit me i was dead
thats when i learned to hate him
mergos wet nurse was really the intense fun fight against a nightmare it should have been at that level
>>344347702the meteors always come from the same side, just hid behind the tree
>>344347824

Is anyone else just happy that since last gen, From Software have gone from literal WHOs? to a powerhouse who have given us some of the best boss fights in gaming in the last 20 years.
It's like watching the rise of unstoppable 90's Squaresoft again. Hopefully they don't merge with anyone like Square did and all go to shit.
>>344348190
I always made the assumption that different builds make different fights harder.
>>344343923
1. Lady Maria
2. Drake and Josh
3. Soul of Cinder
4. Champion Gundyr
5. Father Gascoignein my opinion
>>344348372
Eh? I don't know. Popularity is the reason we got the mediocrity that was Dark Souls 3. Or maybe it was just their inability to make proper sequels.
I hope they just make new ips like bb
>>344348372
>From Software have gone from literal WHOs

>>344349150
We are talking about good boss fights, which throw kf, st, and ac out the window
>>344349053
I've done like 5 NG+'s.
Some bosses stay as good, most get worse, but Dragonslayer Armor actually gets better.
>>344348626
I'm kinda disappointed we don't get to keep her weapon and do some special blood attack move with it.
But I'm sure we can all agree thatThe Fool's Idolis the best boss out all souls games.
>>344343923
Shittest taste ever
>>344349358
dragonslayer armor's moveset is so shit i didn't get hit while attacking him because all his attacks went over my head
>>344349435

>>344339809
The best boss fight is Gehrman. He might not be as visually interesting as Ludwig or some of the Souls bosses, but the fight is just perfect.
>>344349435
i hear if you level bloodtinge, arcane and skill up to 99, give annalise 40 blood dregs in a row and then use Deep respect at the coffin in the astral clocktower you can. Have to be wearing her armor set though.
Name ONE souls boss Old King Doran couldn't face tank and defeatwithout running. You can't, because he's the strongest!

I agree, The Boss is awesome.
>>344350526
Generally speaking if the boss can be cheesed do hard by in game mechanics loke parry or backstab it's not a well designed boss.
Tumblebuffing rtsr build cheesing means you're going out of your way. Exploiting hitting boss out of the fog gate or othrr glitches doesn't count as it being a bad boss fight.
Kos, Maria, Pontiff, gywn are all examples of poorly designed boss fights.
Anyone else remember this asshole? I thought that moonlit fight from the first Otogi was pretty badass.
>>344352520
>tfw he will never free Raikoh from his servitude.
Fuck Seimei and the Princess, Raikoh earned his eternal rest. LET HIM DIE. AlsoDEEPEST LORE
>>344352520
The fight in Otogi 2 with him is even cooler and more atmospheric.
>>344347392
No the thread is "sonyggers call everything in the other 4 games bad and everything in bloodborne the best thing ever because it's the only exclusive they have"
>>344352979
I really need to stop being a faggot and play #2 already. It's only twenty bucks on Amazon right now.
I wonder what shenanigans I have to pull for the moonlight greatsword in that one?

You can unlock it by importing a complete Otogi 1 file and buying it for a lot of dosh. The alternative is collecting souls like in the original and also buying it.
