What was YOUR hardest FromSoft boss?

[.]

Took me 8 hours to beat Gerhman, 12 for Ishinn, an entire day and a half for Orphan of Kos. I surprised myself when it only took me 2 hours to beat Malenia. In my opinion BloodBorne still has the hardest boss to date being Orphan. What was your hardest boss?

[Kernowace]

Orphan of Kos and Bloodbourne in general. Father Fing Gascoigne when you first start out. Elden Ring is stupid easy.

[Jhonatan]

idk

[Phoenix]

knight of godrick.

in all seriousness, it was ornstein and smough when i first started out, since then every other boss has been quite easy

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sword-saint himself. The only boss that made me scream after beating him. Probably the hardest boss I’ve ever fought in a game. There’s really no way to cheese him. It’s purely skill and I’ve got mad respect for those folks who can do no hit runs on Sekiro in general.

Oh, uh *ahem* I mean, Soldier of Godrick

True! His move set is insane

Isshin of Godrick

Kraken from King's Field on PS1.

I don't know if it strictly counts as a "boss", but I stumbled upon its cave early on and stubbornly just kept at it with krap gear wondering what in the heck it was guarding only to get destroyed each time...too many deaths to count.

Well my hardest was technically.. The Stray Demon, when you revisit the Undead Asylum for DS1, because DS1 was my first FromSoft game and I am pretty sure I was 15 if I recall, not the Git-Gud'ing type back then.

I still struggle occasionally but I wouldn't classify a lot of bosses as my hardest. No Halflight, Spear of the Church became my hardest in DS3 because, if it became a Player Controlled Entity, and I admit; I suck at PVP.

No opinion on DS2 xD

i quited playing sekiro due to sword saint. i only beat malenia with coop guys. i dont feel like getting that gid to be fun to me really.

[FauxFurry]

So far, 9-Ball. I will actually have to play more Elden Ring and Armored Core 6 to see if they can match that level of difficulty in any way.
If we were to count game mechanics, the hardest boss that I have fought in a From Software game is the steady life drain in Otogi 2. I never did get Raikou out of the underworld when he is isolated from the team in one portion of the game.

Malenia and nothing comea close

[trembo]

Sister Friede (took me way longer than it shouldve but she's beaten me more than any FromSoft boss), 4 Kings DS1, Sword Saint Isshin, and Malenia.

I could flawless victory Midir right now and I havent fought him since DS3 servers went down initially (before being fixed) - he might be my favorite boss fight of all time, but I do love the Radagon fight as well - Elden Beast is meh - but I love fighting Radagon.

Dude, yes. Sister Friede is a bad time

[RedEssence]

Guardian Ape from Sekiro, first time I fought him it took me an actual week before I got him ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate that guy

Second up would probs be Demon of Hatred

For reference I got Isshin in an hour on my first try

[Fried Noodles]

I've only played through DS3 once. And even that one playthrough ended up being a bit of a rush because I binged first-time playthroughs of DSR and DS2:SotFS and then DS3 back-to-back-to-back.

I was slightly burning out and ended up running through a lot of DS3 using my Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring and Hidden Body sorcery.

I remember having difficulty with the Nameless King.

Rather than take the time to learn the dance, I ended up just defeating him with Sunlight Spear in phase 1 and Dorhys' Gnawing in phase 2.


I keep meaning to go back to play DS3, but I get so bored in the beginning of the game. ;)


So I'm just going to say 'Nameless King' as I never felt like I properly defeated him.



Also I didn't fight any of the DLC bosses in DS3.
