Which bosses were hard for you and took you multiple tries? And bosses you managed to take down fairly easily compared to their reputation?

>Gascoigne
around 10 tries
>Blood-Starved Beast
around 20 tries
>Lady Maria
around 50 tries (I don't know why I had so much trouble with her)

Easy bosses for me:

>Shadow of Yharnam
1 try
>Martyr Logarius
5 tries
>One Reborn
1 try
>Ludwig
2 tries
>Orphan of Kos
8 tries
>>
>>333265361
The skelington one
>>
Orphan of Kos is the only one I got stuck on. Like, 20+ attempts. Dunno why he gave me so much trouble.

Don't even know what I did differently when I won. Seemed random.
>>
>>333265361
Every time I play through with a new character BsB always gives me trouble
>>
Vicar Amelia 1 try
Rom about 3 tries
Blood starved beast about 3 tries
One reborn 1 try
Witch 1 try
Shadows of Yharnam 3 try
Cleric beast 6 tries
Paarl 3 tries
Gascoigne about 8 tries
Logarius about 60 tries he really raped me

The only bosses that gave me trouble were the Defiled Chalice bosses. Fuck that dungeon.
>>
>>333265768

I went into my first chalice the other day (the one you get after BSB) and Jesus Christ fuck that. I must've died fifteen times against the Undead Giant before I killed him. Apparently I was hideously underlevelled for it, since my transformed Kirkhammer+3 swings were only doing 80 damage a hit whereas he could take off 70% of my health with every hit. And the tracking on his attacks is insane, his thrusts are nearly undodgeable since he just rotates mid-thrust to catch whatever direction you rolled in. And I've heard horror stories about how the later chalices have shit like bosses with scripted one-shot kills and so on. Whatever loot's in those chalices, it isn't worth it. Fuck right off with that, Miyazaki.
>>
The chain version of the Undead Giant killed me a lot because I'd get impatient in whittling down its health bar.
>>
>>333266142
>later chalices have shit like bosses with scripted one-shot kills and so on
Defiled Chalice lowers your HP by half and all enemies hit like a truck, so yes, it's quite easy to get one-shotted there.
>>
The ones that took me ages to kill were.

> Cleric Beast
About 4-5 tries, it was my first "Souls" game, so I sucked.
> BSB
I got Gascoigne pretty easily but this asshole stumped me for ages, probably about 7-8 attempts.
> Rom
It's such an easy fight in retrospect but I just couldn't avoid the ice meteors at all. 8+ attempts.
> Logarius
I was just plain bad at this fight, took me about 4-5 goes to learn how to avoid the arcane attacks, once he got to second phase I did it first try.
> Eribritas
Bullshit charge attack got me so many times. At least 10 attempts.
> Abhorrent Beast in Ailing Loran
I just can't fight him, no matter what I do I just get punched into oblivion. I legit couldn't do it (barely even making a dent in his health) until I learned of Poison knife cheese.
> Defiled Amyacdala
Litterally 35 attempts, was losing the will to play. Eventually got good and did it without getting hit.
> Laurence
15-20ish attempts, fuck this guy.

The ones that were surprisingly easy.

> Vicar Amelia
I don't know how people have trouble with her, the first time I ever died to her was my BL4 run.
> Shadows of Yharnan
This boss can get hard if you fuck up, but I accidently did the easiest stragedy on my first playthrough and first tried it with 100k Echo's on me (it really doesn't look like a Boss room).
> Ludwig
So many people had trouble with him, I guess that's because people were fighting him for the first time on NG+3 and stuff, but he never gave me much trouble. Only 2 attempts first playthrough.
> Orphan
Again, he was hard, but not THAT hard. Took me 3-4 tries to learn his moveset. But some people act as if he is nearly impossible.
> Defiled Hotdog
I summoned the NPC and he basically solo'd the fight. First attempt. Queen Killer is an absolute bro.
>>
>>333266142
Man if you are having trouble with the first chalice dungeons, you can't even imagine about what's coming next.
Chalice dungeons especially the last ones are the biggest challenge i've ever seen in a souls game.
>>
BSB was the first wall I ran into
Today I have no problems

Rom was fucking huge challenge
but today I beat him fiest try every time

Then there's the orphan. I fought him so much that I know his every move by heart.

Lufwid can be tough is yout build isnt optimal


>inb4 that kid that claims he beat the game without dying
>>
>>333265361
Gascoigne probably around 15-20 tries. Easily the hardest boss in the game.

Second hardest was Ebrietas for me. Five tries.

Killed Ludwig first try, took four tries on new game+

Orphan was second try
>>
only BSB, 3 tries

that was literally the high point of the game, it was exciting as hell and got me pumped for more, but little did i know that was actually the most exciting thing i would experience in the game, besides maybe fighting moon presence with no health, but that was pretty short

sigh

Paarl is always kind of hard for me. I have to re-learn him every playthrough, and I don't know why. It takes me like, an hour and a half and by the end of it I can kill him without taking a hit. As soon as he's dead, all that knowledge goes right out the fuckin' door.

Other than that, none of the bosses really pose a consistent problem. 4 or so tries and I've got 'em.
>>
>>333266619
Are you me ?
> Abhorrent Beast in Ailing Loran
I died about 20 times as well until i figured out the pattern. Did you beat the one in the lower loran ?
>>
Are you all plaing the japanese version or did it leak somewhere?
>>
Rom, the witches, cleric beast and the one reborn all took me one try

The shadows, gascoine, and ebrietas all raped me repeatedly, but none moreso than that fucking hunter at the end of Eileen's quest. He's the real hardest boss in the game.
>>
>>333265483
OK so take a pungent blood cocktail and throw that against one of the corners where he starts. Equip fire paper and a beast bloodpellet.

Do a couple of transformation attacks then throw another cocktail. once he does the final phase scream do a charge attack on his back and backstab him. BSB done in 15 seconds.

LUDWIG REEEEEE

>everyone beating all the bosses in a handful of tries
>Tfw ARC build but I didn't use the right weapons most of the game and died so many times
>>
>>333265361
Master Logarius was the first boss to take me more than three tries and in the end took even more tries than Ebrietas. If we include chalice bosses I don't even know anymore because some of them were just a huge bitch to fight to the point it did not stand out if I needed more tries.
>>
Orphan of Kos. Only boss that took more than 2 attempts. Probably the hardest boss I've ever fought in Souls/BB.
I did it recently using parries (never parry bosses first time because I like dodging shit and getting good in that way), and it was certainly easier. I was at a much higher level too, though (BL 90).
>>
Church crow and well giants are the worst
>>
>>333265361

So first playthrough no spoilers no videos no nothing. Took me 45hours for the whole thing + dlc.

First boss, around 7tries. Gascoigne around 7 tries. Hemwick zone + witches 0 death on the entire thing. Old yarnham entire zone + bloodstarved beast 0deaths. Still don't know how i did it. Vicar amelia after that took me a lot of tries, maybe 12. Can't remember much about the rest, mostly first try or a couple at best. Wet nurse was 2tries, the pussy monster in the clocktower was first try. Final boss took me about 5 in regular form and 2 in bloodmoon form (i run a bloodtinge build with the chikage, he did that attack that gets you to 1hp when i had my sword in bloodform, retarded death there).

For the DLC, Ludwig took me a good 15, the stupid ayylmao's I killed first try, Maria took me like 6, first time i got to p2 and p3 i killed her. Orphan took me an entire night, maybe 25, 30tries? Fire dog maybe 10.

Amazing game overall!

At least 50 deaths on that fucking elevator in Mensis
>>
>>333265361
No boss in this game took me more than 1-10 tries except for Ludwig.

I think Ludwig took me 25~ tries. Easily the hardest.
>>
>>333268808
He won't die, but you can take out half his health by repeatedly triggering his weapon then leaving the cathedral
> I did it today
>>
Logarius was my fucking bane. For some reason, when he went super saiyan, I would always get him down to about 20% health left and he'd somehow get me with a bomb from behind and a jump attack at the same time. When I finally managed to beat him, I had to take a break from the game for a couple days.
>>
Gascoigne 5 deaths using clever spear

BSB too many deaths was using ax

Gehrman 5 deaths used blades of mercy no parry attack

Rest of the bosses at least 1-3 deaths never played the DLC.
>>
>>Bought the game day 1
>>Still stuck on the blood starved beast becouse fuck that
I should really get good
>>
Still on my first playthrough.
Got stuck for forever on Logarius until I looked up something for the game yesterday and found out I could make progress elsewhere since CAINHURST WAS OPTIONAL

god dammit

So I still haven't beaten him.
I went and grinded some vials in Central Yharnam and who should I see but Amygdala - who I killed rather easily in the Nightmare Frontier - just casually clinging to the church in which everyone I'd "saved" was chilling in.

They're going to die huh?
>>
>>333265361
Orphan of Kos was the only boss that fucked raped me. Must have been over 40 tries
>>
>>333268808
>That doesn't work any more.

I've killed him the same way since I got the game, aggro him, back up to the stairs, throw poison blades at him, watch as he starts to back up the stairs, aggro him again, and just watch him die from the poison and his own weapon

>vicar amelia

Stopped counting, quit the game for weeks and came back only to fail again, summons beat the boss for me. Came back for her at ng+ thinking she'd wreck me again, beat her on first try.

>daughet of cosmos

About ten tries and I was able to win, an annoying boss that I¨m not coming back for at any run

>bsb, witches, celestial emissary

Got them on my first try. The other bosses took 2-5 tries, I guess I'd have beaten Cleric beast on my first try if I ever played a souls game before. Doesn't include DLC bosses or the ones from the hardest chalice dungeons, I'm just about to get at them

Everyone else pretty much. I beat all the other bosses in 3 tries or less.
I killed Amelia, Logarius, Hemwick Witch, One Reborn, Micolash, Cleric Beast all in one try.

Havent played the DLC yet, probably wont simply because Im Bloodborned out

about 5. Kept doing the heal and I had none of those mist things to stop it

None of the mainline bosses gave me trouble, only needed a few tries on Gehrman.

Defiled chalice's were it starts to get challenging.
>Defiled watchdogs
10+. Really had fun dodging it's horizontal swipes when you've figured it out.
>Defiled Amygdala
10+.

Got rekt by Old Hunter's bosses, mainly cause started the dlc at NG+++ & got rusty for not playing for a while.

Stuck at him for 2 hours.

I beat most bosses reasonably quickly. I beat bosses like cleric beast, father gascoigne and bloodstarved beast first try. And while I died to almost every other boss, max retries that it took me to beat them was like 5. With a couple exceptions.

It took me 10+ tries to beat Amygdala. Always died in it's third phase. Ebrietas also took me about 10 tries. And Ludwig from the expansion took me a whopping 20+ tries. Bless that deformed horse monster, bless it.

You realize that being a streamer does not mean you're godlike at the game right? The bosses he listed are all easy enough on NG that they are beatable within 1-3 tries.

I remember on my second run I ran out of bullets because I never reset the map and went back and forth, I ran straight to Gascoigne and picked up next to nothing on the way, so when I died I had to run through it all again with nothing this time, I imagine this is what happened to alot of people, they didnt keep going back to lanterns and resetting to farm enemies, this is lame though, dont go out of your way to grind, grinding-especially in games like this-is fucking gay.

Orphan of Kos, or some say Kosm. like 10 tries or more. ludwig took a few tries too. I fought Pearl early on so she was a bitch.

My first run I beat Cleric Beast my first try, mostly because I learned the flow of the game pretty quickly. Then I got to Gascoigne and he completely fucked my shit up because of how different he was from every other enemy before him.

I'd say the boss I had the most trouble with was BSB because of his fucking poison

Funny enough, on my first playthrough this dude raped me in all ways possible, probably took me about 20 tries to beat him (half-cheesed with poison knifes)
But on all my other playthroughs he was piece of cake. Actually slaughtered him on my first try with underlevel chikage build
>>
>>333276487
Most people have easy/hard times depending entirely on what weapon they are using and what that players is more skilled with. For instance I just cant get use to the fucking range or the BoM, literally cannot stand constantly dodging and being just out of range because the enemy moves a little, but other peopel swear by this weapon and say its easy mode. Hunters Axe is the universal easy option though, theres no denying that.
>>
>>333273646
holy shit, my list is 95% as accurate as his, if you really think he's lying you're fuckin bad
>>
I never understood why people had trouble with Orphan. I beat him on my first or second try.

He's fast, but his attacks swing wild and have extremely forgiving hitboxes. He seemed really easy to be honest.
>>
>>333265361
>Vicar Amelia
Around 5-10 tries I think since I found it difficult getting used to her large swipes. She was probably my gitgud boss thinking about it. I was spoiled on her healing ability so I was never caught offguard by it. BSB was also a lesson in learning to hug the fucking enemy thinking about it.

>Rom
I don't remember the count, but a bunch. Might be the only boss I took more than ten tries on. It was only until much fucking later watching other people fight her that I realized she never uses her meteor attack if you stay close to her.

I don't think I took more than ten tries on any boss in the game besides Rom actually and most were in the 1-5 range. Though I think that was partially because I was willing to be completely cheesy in a lot of fights. I always shot off four shots of the cannon every boss battle after I got it. Gascoigne I believe I beat second try by abusing the drop on top of the stairs. Run up stairs, drop down to shed, time R2 charge in his face when he drops down, repeat.

I breezed through the DLC, but that's because I became less stupid and decided to finally pump my Vit after kind of being middling on it the entire game. Having 49 Vit makes such a fucking huge difference it isn't funny. Also makes being summoned much much more survivable. Laurence was the only boss that gave me real trouble. Ludwig I felt became easier in his second phase as the sword attacks are way easier to read. His sword wave attack caught and killed me once, but simply going behind him made that attack a free opportunity to wail on him. Orphan of Kos was similar, I think I beat him second try, first try died to lightning attack as I was standing on Kos corpse.
>>
>>333265361
Ludwig took me a while to learn his first form. About 10 deaths. The first time I got to his second form I immediately won. Did the same on my 2nd character. Laurence also got me a few times but the same thing happened with him where once I got to his 2nd phase I won that time. Beat him first try on 2nd character.

Otherwise most bosses outside of chalices were pretty easy and I won within 3 tries. For chalice bosses the bloodletting beast was definitely my worst fight. I had to summon help for that one. Headless version was significantly easier. Hotdog in cursed pthumu was also rough until I stopped being greedy. Yharnam only took 2 tries.
>>
>>333276796
True that, I felt the difference going from dex+btg chikage\bom build to str\arc kirkhammer\wheel, it changes the difficulty of enemies dramatically
But for me personally, max bloodtinge + lost chikage is easymode, as you deal so fucking much dps it's just ridicilous
>>
>>333265730
Crowsteel is a cheating piece of shit.
>>
First playthrough at the moment, just got to Rom. She's pretty sketchy.

Only had about 3/4 attempts so far, but keep getting 1-hit killed by her ice when she's down to 10% health.

Just realized I might have missed stuff in the spoopy Forrest though so probably gonna bail on the spider for a bit.
>>
>>333273439
consumables are meant to be used right? or do you play without any items and controller half way up your ass because any other way is 'casual'
>>
SO I'm trying to do the Eileen quest line and she is chilling outside the cathedral ward saying don't go down to the tombs. When does she go down there? How do I trigger it to happen or can I kill the hunter in the tombs without her being there?
>>
>>333277528
she wont move, you need to kill the hunter
>>
>>333265361

in dark souls 2 i beat basically every boss except the ruin sentinels in 2 or 3 tries solo. Bloodborne basically every boss except Maria and Celestial Emissary took me 10+ tries, and on several of the large beast enemies I just gave up and summoned because I wanted to get on with the game.

Logarius was an extremely satisfying experience for me, very fun trying him over and over and getting a little better each time.

Ludwig was the opposite because I'd feel like it was random chance whether I'd get to his second phase or not.

Also is it a meme that people say they had trouble with maria?
>>
>>333277528
She should join in fighting Henryk if she gave you the quest. Maybe just kill him and hope she appears?
>>
>>333277483
Just pack some arcane resists, and take it slow, methodically eliminating spiders and pinching her here and there. On first playthrough you objectively won't be able to zerg her before she tps, so that's your best tactics
Also, what you packing?
>>
>>333277761
This is my firs (proper) attempt at a SoulsBorne game so it's probably not very good.

I'm a skill build so I use the Saw Spear for it's crazy fast transformation and the Threaded Cane for crowd control and long range poking. I've got a mishmash of different armour but I think it's mainly the Black Church set. I've taken a Caryl rune that counters it's low Frenzy res.Other runes are visceral attacks regain health and one I can't remember.

Go back down to where you fought Gascoigne.

Thats all Ive done so far, but just got to Logarius and he seems like a huge nigger. He just stands back and spams his magic that hits like a truck, and by the time I got him to his second phase I was out of vials

>>333265361
The only boss that gave me trouble was blood starved beast.
That anti melee is real.

I kept getting stuck when trying to roll since you fight cleric beast on a cluttered bridge. Shadow of Yharnam almost killed me though, once I killed the first shadow and the katana wielding one could suddenly poke me from 10 feet away
>>
>>333278161
Yep, skill spear+cane is solid, you're doing fine.
It's just that you can actually zerg Rom being underlevel str axe if you time your two-handed-mode charged attack correctly. Nevermind that

Have fun with amygdala though
>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>>333278552
cleric beast is a sorta casual filter t.b.h.
>>
>>333278552
To be fair, cleric beast is as the start of the game, when youre still figuring the game out. Its a casual filter, it weeds out those not willing to learn the game after it smacks them about.
>>
cleric beast-2 tries
gascoign-1 try
bsb-2 tries
vicar amelia-2 tries
witches-1 try
ebreitas-50 tries

Hardest: Rom and Chalice Rom.

I have an easy time dealing with spiders and his AOE attack but fuck me with a rusty drill i cannot stand his random ass meteor attack.

Easiest: Mergo's Wet Nurse

Only fought it once, really pin it down to luck.
>>
I died to BSB a few times before remembering the fire paper Alfred gave me.

Ludwig took me about 4 tries, mainly because he kept splatting me with that fucking jump attack.

Maria fucked me up a lot, I think it took my 8 tries to get used to her second form.

Kos took me about 5 times and even then, I had to cheese his second form with the Bowblade.

Don't get me started on the chalice bosses, they're just pure bullshit.
>>
>>333265361

I had trouble with rom and martyr logarius. Logarius was a pain in the ass but it was a super fun boss fight

I found gehrman to be surprisingly easy, or maybe i had already gotten gud by that point in the game
>>
>>333279018
B-but chalice rom is easier because you can just chill behind pillars when she meteors you mane
I literally killed her on 2nd try a minute ago (lvl80 chikage+10). Easy peasy
>>
The bloody crow of cainhurst has given me more trouble than any boss (hes the dude where vicar used to be)
>>
One Reborn, BSB and Orphan of Kos were literally the easiest bosses in the game.
That said, I was extremely overleveled.
>>
>>333265361
I had a hard time at the beginning of the game, like dying 50 times on cleric beast and amelia. End game I ended up beating everything in one try except Ebritas
>>
>>333265361
Note this is my first souls game, and I didn't buy the dlc...though I'm definitely going through that in my next play through.

Hardest
>Rom, 10 tries
>The 2 hunters in Hypogean Gaol in Yahar'gul (not bosses I know), 15-20 tries.
>Gascoigne, 7 tries

Still have yet to beat the game. Just bought a PS4 two weeks ago.
Recently defeated One Reborn. Made it to the lantern at the bottom of the lift in the building fu of non hostile negroids.

Cleric Beast - this was my first souls game, so this was relatively challenging. I cleared all of yharnam up to the werewolves/giant and crows, kept going in and getting rolled. Found a note after my fifth or so attempt mentioning the use of fire so I farmed molotovs from the town and literally threw 14 or 15 of them then let the summon from the fountain take aggro while I whittled the last of its HP. 6 or so attempts. It wasn't until after this fight that I figured out how to return to Hunters Dream with my echoes.

Gasciogne - 1 attempt. Had about 55000 blood on me and wasn't entirely aware as to how I made it to him, so I outright refused to give it up. Constant dodging, waiting for perfect opportunities to swing, when he turned beastmode, wailed on him relentlessly and dropped him before he could attack.

BSB - took seven attempts. Fire paper and antidotes galore.

Vicar Amelia - 1 attempt. Hideously easy compared to the surrounding mobs

Witch - 1 attempt, but very tedious and took me about ten minutes of killing the spawned mobs to notice the invisible witch/witches.

Rom - 9 attempts. Kept trying to clear every add. When I figured out he was weak to electricity (used a shock paper fifth attempt), grabbed the shock weapon from Hunters Dream. After that it was just figuring out his cues.

Three hunters in the forest - 1 attempt. Again, 149K blood. Refused to die and wasn't certain as to how I made it there, so wouldn't find my way back. Dodging, healing, used nearly all of my combatant items.

The One Reborn - the fight wasn't tough but I was usually almost out of vials when I got there. Took me thirty+ runs post-cathedral to figure out where the second bell maiden was hiding and empowering the mobs. First point I considered putting the game down for some time.

>>333277494
You sound like the kind of guy who wears full havels and poise tanks every boss in DaS
>hurr this crutch for mentally disabled people is programmed into the game, so i must use it
>>
>>333273985
>trial and error
Only if you're bad. I literally died to bosses like ten times in the entirety of Dark Souls, and five of those were on the Bed of Chaos. The game has everything to do with skill and nothing to do with trial and error if you have played previous installments.
>>
>>333274240
>grinding in games like this is fucking gay
Says the person who dies 20+ times on a boss. That just means you are bad. Grinding for necessary resources such as QS or BV is not gay, it's something you'd do if you're not retarded.

It's not my fault. They just ran into me. Even Crowsteel.
