  1. i can't even lie i hate crucible knights and dont understand why people like them, its such a robotic fight, cant try anything risky, cant do anything but what the boss allows you, its just mid

  2. Great ranking!
    Btw in the placidusax section you mentioned not being able to dodge the lightning soear nuke and thats because you can't, you have to run out of its radius to avoid it, that's why it takes so long to charge

  3. Elden Beast is a great boss IMO besides Elden Stars, I never found its swimming to be that big of a deal.

    As for Malenia, Waterfowl sucks when she does it from up close but I really have no issues with her besides that.

  4. I think most of these really depends on your build, Maliketh was one of my most hated boss because he was probably the hardest for me, but not in a fun way like Malenia. It was a pure atrocious chore. I can't wait to try him with an other build and wreck his ass properly

  5. This is the only ranking video that makes 100% sense. If a bosses move set can’t be perfectly dodged up close, then it’s mediocre at best. Godfrey fits that description perfectly, which makes him my favorite fight in the game too.

  6. Elden ring is my first fromsoft game. I beat it a couple weeks ago. And i can confidently say the STUPIDEST boss was melania. She is so poorly designed and i genuinely dont understand why people like her. Another hard boss that being maliketh i beat in around 3 attempts. Radagon and the elden beast? Same. But Melania? 60+ easy. Shes a buggy,inconsistent mess. And i didnt cheese her until i realized she had a hidden mechanic where if you overuse a certain move she becomes immune to that. Once i found that out i tried her again and beat her first try. I was actually pissed how easy it was once i figured that out. And yes she does need a nerf,she shouldnt be able to drain health from summons and her waterfowl dance hit registration is insanely busted. Worse boss in the entire game. All of the hard bosses i had fun with (meliketh,elden beast etc) but she just felt like a chore.

  7. I'll just say that Malenia is fun even at RL1, no summons or cheese of any kind. The only actually bad things that she has is Waterfowl Dance and the stupid thing with her poise while doing hyper-armor attacks. Appart from that, super fun combat, and you already said how good she is with all the other things. She is really overhated

    Also, nnot putting Godrick on S tier… maaaaan, such a perfect boss, 10/10 ost, lore, design, etc, really cool and fair combat (outside of the fire sometimes), he's a fucking incredible boss even if he is easy

  8. Souls YouTubers' increasing tendency to put Radagon and Elden Beast as two separate bosses is starting to annoy me. They're phase 1 and phase 2 and need to be praised/criticized as such

  9. You know, when you have 41 places and only 4 places in you're already saying "it's okay", it's actually quite the testament to how consistent the boss and enemy quality is in this game. Enemy design is so fucking hard to get right and considering the massive scale of this game and the variety on display compared to other open world games, they fucking nailed it.

    Personally I would only consider the remembrance bosses to be "main" bosses. I think they found their formula with Sekiro of having a smaller pool of more purposefully designed bosses and then several dozen supporting minibosses that can be used repeatedly, with some of them still being unique anyway, so I'm glad Elden RIng continues that tradition.

  10. my no. 1 is Placidusax. When he does the nuke attack, I just immediately run behind his tail, wait the attack, remove lock-in and hit his tail multiple times
    My other favourites: Rykard, Maliketh, Mohg, Rennala
