Most frustrating / annoying boss you've encountered so far?

[Damien]

For me i'd have to say either rellana and her never ending poise and health bar or the one im stuck on right now, the putrececent knight. I can't take it tis dumb combo over and over just killing me every time on my 56th try now

if you did not complete DLC, than relana is pretty easy, wait till you get to Messmer and especially radahn 2nd phase

[Mashed Potatoes Johnson]

Messmer. Way too fast, way too much damage, obscured attacks cause everything needs particle effects.

[Mall Ninja]

Gaius and Rakshasa. Still didn't beat them. Didn't try Messmer yet - if i can't beat these two, it's pointless to try him.

Golden hippo was frustrating and boring. I like big beast bosses when they move like actual beasts or animals. It's why I love laurence and the beasts from bloodborne, despite being big they aren't unnecessarily slow and sluggish. They move frantically and unpredictably. It's why I like the divine lion fight so much.

This always seems to get thrown out the window with beast bosses in souls for some reason though. Golden hippo moves like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tortoise and it bores me to tears, and it doesn't help that the second you stop paying attention is usually when you get hit and probably die.

Romina was a total ♥♥♥♥♥ and Gaius was getting there too. The difficulty in this DLC on journey 8+ is a nightmare no matter how many scadutree blessings you have. Ain't complaining though.

Bayle

[Kathid]

for me Commander Gaius :D

Yep, Radahn's second phase is the worst and made me stop playing for now. He's almost constantly teleporting or attacking.

Everyone I've seen who beat him has had a bleed build, but faith seem to be useless like in the main game.

commander gaius for sure, mounted boss = annoying and ♥♥♥♥ design in 98% of cases

i would of loved it to of been a mounted boss fight, but the boar trashes torrent in every possible way making it completely dumb to do it mounted

[wulfrik656]

Gold hippo whoever decided that arena for that boss needs a thousand kicks to the balls as punishment.

[Derivat949]

I'm only at the Golden Hippo but the camera felt like it was drunk in that fight

[LocalxCrimez]

Messmer and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dragon Bayle the Dread

[SHIZAAAAA]

It was very unclear to me when rellana's combos actually had ended or she was just delaying something. The hippo is pretty good imo except it needs a bigger circular arena so you don't get driven to a corner half the time. Same for the lion, though that one has other problems such as lack of clarity on the tornado and lightning spawning behind you while you're moving backwards so you can't see it before it hits you. As many people have said, little issues like that weren't as noticeable in the previous games because they didn't do half your healthbar in damage but in this one every hit you take matters
