Great vid! I also would’ve put godskin duo in here, those guys absolutely rolled me for like 2 hours.
I haven't beat the game yet, and haven't fought several of the bosses on your list (looking forward to Malenia though). But the two toughest on my list, so far, are Radahn, and the Black Knife in Black Knife Catacombs. I had to gain 30 levels and countless attempts before I could beat Radahn. And that Black Knife was hyper aggressive, very elusive, in a tiny room, no ashes allowed…and I'm a spellcaster. I had to go sword+board with Barricade Shield in order to beat him.
My first time facing radahn I didn’t even get to see his second phase because I was so over leveled
When fighting Niall, you can use bewitching branches on his summons to turn them against Niall, them just do what you can from range
I think fire giant was my personal hardest, I fought him first with just a quality build, had to just walk him off the cliff
I didn’t even encounter Margit until I was 49 hours into the game
i actually beat her on my 2nd try (level 125) i guess i was super lucky the key component is don't get hit whichh you can do with Wolfstep Ashe's and Claws burst in hit /freze and let yourash do damage too
I don’t wanna brag but the only boss that gave me trouble was radhan, seriously the mimic is op as hell
Doing a second play through like a normal soulsborne game, meaning only sword and skill :3. Wish me luck
not even a mention of hoarah loux or maliketh? other than that a great video.
I killed the dragon lord so fast I didn't let him show off most of his moves
I'm surprised u didn't put horah loux on here I would have put him behind malenia at 2 he killed me like 15 times which is allot for me
Not to forget:
Maliketh
Vailant Gargoyles
Horah Loux
if you have a cheesy cancerous build, the hardest boss will be the mimic since it's you on steroids with infinite mana and stamina
I hate players that just use one spell or move the entire fight…whatever floats your boat man, a win is a win.
What about Maliketh the black blade?
Malenia is one truly annoying boss because she can heal and has 2 full hp forms. Good thing my hoarfrost stomp can stun her plus my mimic also does it. Then dual katana with bleed. Easily stackable bleed with cold debuff. Easy kill when this combo is used. But if not, damn goodluck.. she's too much.
Melenia can absolutely go (insert insult) herself. Holy crap that boss… I’d rather fight 3 Rodahns naked with a blade of grass.
For me was Elden ring a joke in comparison to the dark souls series.
the boss battle when you fight 2 crucible knights was hell for me
Crucible knight duo in the Azira hero's grave is probably the only boss I left behind. I hated that every time I would try for an attack, the other would stomp/stab me, and they would chain like 4 attacks in a row instantly killing me.
Sometimes I would run in circles for up to 3 minutes trying to get Ordovis out of aggro mode so I could separate them.
One of those bosses that would be much easier with any range.
Ur supposed to roll forward when he attacks you from above… should have figured this out way earlier. You basically cheesed for the win
Tip of you use rot against the number 6 boss it will destroy him I was having a struggle but rot destroys him
How much playtime is in this game, 30 hrs etc….? I’m on disability so I have to pick and choose what games I buy
There is a point where leveling up does help a lot. My level 713 character has a much easier time than when it was a level ~100 character.
You’re using spells😐 bosses shouldn’t be hard for you.
Crucible knights isn't that hard.
Margit was no problem for me. Godskin Apostle on the other hand…
I fought margit at lvl 35 and I destroyed him on the first try
Margit is not a guy, but a woman or what :). At least by her name. Margit is a hungarian female first name. Just like Marika or the male Sandor. G R R Martin likes to use Hungarian names in his works for some reason.
My most hated boss was the Elden beast. Malenia would be my favourite if she didn’t have the flurry attack he undodgeable for most builds.
Top 3 are same to me, still didnt beat malenia
How you sheathe the katana like that for that attack?
