The Hardest Boss in Every Souls Game (Including Elden Ring)

Today, we're talking about the hardest bosses from each of the souls games by FromSoftware. This includes Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. I wanted to list the hardest bosses from each game and list the reasons why I think they're difficult because they all have unique combat styles and other mechanics that set them apart from each other.

Thanks to Gamer 19 for letting me use some gameplay!

Hot take: Malenia would go from the hardest boss to one of the easiest bosses if she was a sekiro boss, because her entire moveset feels more fitting for a game with the sekiro combat style

Imagine Nameless ride Midir instead of his dragon, that will be true nightmare

[augustyn]

For me personally, Midir was a nightmare until I did my soul level 1 run of the game and realised the key to dodging midir was to roll backwards, not towards him and wait for the chance to hit his head. After acquiring that knowledge it made him piss easy, just took long to get down his health bar

[petebanger]

Safe to say we can go ahead and throw Promised Consort Radahn on this list

[connerjessop]

So strange. Artorias dunked on my ass for like 5 hours and then I walked in and killed manus first try. Always funny to hear everyone’s different experiences

[BigGayPauly]

For larger bosses, I find it really helpful to not lock onto them. It’s easier to move under and around them that way. When you lock onto them, it kinda feels like they’ve locked onto you too, if that makes sense. Helped with a lotttt of Bloodborne bosses

[endowbi]

It would be cool to see your tierlist of all bosses ranked by difficulty

[hybrid]

For me, Malenia feels more like a Sekiro boss instead of a souls boss. Her sword combos feel like they would have worked better with Sekiro’s combat style. Also, wouldn’t it have been cool to see two master swordsmen/woman with amputated limbs fighting?

[LycanKnight]

Fun fact, you can bring the Fume Knight's second phase out early by wearing Versadlts helmet into the boss fight, causing him to roar out in rage. Lore followers will understand the reason for this mechanic/ai. That'll definitely make him number one in ds2

I actually love fighting Midir. Got smacked a couple of times on my first Ringed Ciry playthrough, but once I got his moveset the fight itself became a delight. Friede is definetely harder for me.

[thatll-do]

For Midir, I find that not locking on helps immensely. He's just too big for lock-on to be helpful given how fast he moves. If you free aim the camera, you can see his whole body and how it moves much better

[taylorwinter]

I think I had the exact same experience with orphan. I remember hearing horror stories about his difficulty so I went through the entirety of the chalice dungeons before fighting him and beat him first try. When I played the game again without going through the chalices, he beat me up just as much as everyone else.

[thegoatarmy]

The thing about the Demon of Hatred is the fact that is a boss that encourages you to dodge more than deflect on a game that encourages you to deflect than dodging...

[danielpatterson]

One thing about Malenia is that she functions the same as Elden Ring itself: it can be as easy or difficult as you want, depending entirely on how you choose to play and how much you explore. You decide the difficulty of encounters.

There are many ways to cheese Malenia. RoB, FBJ, dual Scavenger Swords, spirit summon (especially the mimic), Maliketh’s Black Blade, Ice Spear ash of war, etc. In an honest duel, she’s probably the hardest boss in the series, but you can turn her into a human pincushion with a quick trip to Mt Gelmir or killing a Nightrider in Liurnia.

Nice video! Just a quick story on DS2 and my first Fume Knight experience: I was playing first DS2 on an old laptop, with 800x600 resolution around 25 FPS, but in the Fume Knight boss arena it dropped to 18-20, and when the second phase came it went even more below, so I beat it on 12-15 FPS... He was my natural enemy... Well rather my laptops' natural enemy

[MiyazakiSama]

Great video, yes FromSoft wanted to make Malenia the hardest by giving her the life steal ability like you said and obviously the flurry attack.
Thanks for the wedding ring 😂

[erickaguilar]

Not even a honorable mention for the Nameless King?
I actually reached a point when I was convinced I wasn't going to beat him lmao.

[NievesTheWitch]

"Maybe you should stop staring at her feet during the fight" No, no I don't think I will

[widgetfilms]

Finally soloing Midir on NG+ felt like I'd just beaten god. I literally ran out of estus and somehow was able to dodge all of his remaining attacks.

[TheLastGame]

Malenia is definitely the hardest in Elden Ring, yet the most fun, fighting learning all her attack patterns never felt more satisfying, It's like a true dance between 2 masters.
