Hardest boss in Dark souls 2 ?

[wilsonkid]

for me its The Duke's Dear Freja i hate this boss so much. i always have a hard time when i get to it

[Big Boom Boom]

Gravity.

Tricked a Blue Sentinel to fell down the Elevator Hole in Drangleic Castle just now. It's the hardest boss IMO.

frejy: as ranged char she might be a prob since she take dmg to the heads only, but shes damn easy as melee char.

for me its... dont realy know, the sentinels maybe. sure you can kill the first 1vs1 on top. but fighting two of them alone, sucks.^^

Freja? really? How do you die? Kill the little spiders fast with magic or a bow. She never hit's me i stick close to her body and walk around her 1 or 2 hits on every head and so on.
I have problems with Darklurker sometimes, i need to cheese this boss with magic/pyro.

The hardest one is not a boss, but an NPC you can invade. Try to invade Licia on NG+ and you will get a very painful experience. She got as all phantoms a hell of a lot hell, but she spams Wrath of God and healing miracles. So if you hit her with sun spear, she heal herself right away, and you end up wasting all your sun spear. The Wrath of God also one hit kill you, and she got infinitive use of it, and seem to have infinitive stamina. The only thing you can really do, is have a lot of stamina, a straight sword and use some poison resine, and using the Watchers shield so you have a lot of protection to light, but you have to keep that Shiled up almost all the time, making stamina regeneration very slow.

I wished I would kill her in NG, but I wasn't planning goging for Faith, and was having a melee only build. i'm never going to fight her again on NG+. At least on NG she has little enough health, that you can spam a straight sword.

So Licia the most pain in the ass fight in the game. Also Vendrick is a really boring to fight in NG+ because he has so much health, and it takes like 15-20 minutes to kill him, and it will rock you to sleep, and out of lack of concentration and boredom, you will do a mistake, get killed and do the whole fight again.

The three ruin sentiles. I finish all those 4 pre castle boxes before I got near those guys so I will only fight them when I am way past their expected would memory.

[AllYouNeedIsKILL]

The ruin sentinels got easy when I got the tower shield, because it rarley drains your stamina. But just the Drangleic shiled or 95% shield, it was pretty hard. I also found it really hard to dodge the first ones attack, so for me blocking seem to be the only things that work, or being over power with Sun Light Blade, and kill them really fast.

I remember trying to fight her fight a DEX build. Impossible. But with a pure INT build, it was a piece of cake. She dies so damn fast.

I like light weight builds that dont' focus on strength though.

That's your problem. Melee build without shiled is like the hardest class to ge through the game with, with the exception of fist only or bow only, which no one really does, except as challenge runs.

Use faith or magic and most bosses get's a lot easier. Like you kill Vestadt in 4 sun spears, or the Darkluker in 4-5 sun spear, and she get no chance to attack you if you have high enough cast speed.

Soloing sentinels is the hardest thing in this game. In first it was O&S. As the control system is designed for 1 on 1 fights, it is a real pain to take multiple foes alone on first playthrough. As for Licia - spam her with bleed broken sword or dagger while buffed bye Cloranty ring +2 or moss. Easy fight, just stamina managment challange ;)

I've beaten it multiple times with light builds with magic and light builds with weapons and with a quality ceastus build. Just coudln't get into the heavy weapon thing.

Get a 100% physical defense shield, she's the easiest 'boss' in the game. Her 'WoG' isnt a real WoG fwiw.

i really can't describe any boss as difficult one. i just finished NG5 run witn my main. and... Lucia is rather fun, one shots you, but she is not hard. like at all. Spiderlings are moving really fast when you fight Freja, but this is why you have alluring skulls. Double pursuers not really hard, when you have lightning 'strike weapon' with sunlight blade. I was fighting NG4 Darklurker and... it's just a Darklurker he is not hard. Ancient Dragon... i really hate that guy, not because he is hard, design of this fight is just very bad. oneshots, broken hitboxes, damage reduction on his attacks. bad design.

overall, DkS2 have no challenging bosses at all. I hope DLCs would fix that.

It's funny how everyone finds some bosses hard and others easy.
I solo'd the 3 sentinals with a broadsword on my first game.

But I had a lot of trouble with the executioner chariot. The path to the fight is so damn annoying, there's no way to outrun the enemies, you have to fight every one again.

The massive wolf with the 3 toxic dogs in pharros tomb was a pain to fight as well. I would either be poisoned, or be crushed by the wolf while I'm trying to deal with the 3 dogs. As a pure strength melee character I had to rely on some ridiculous tactics to win that fight.
