Top 15 Hardest Soulsborne Bosses
Hi all, I'm creating a list of the hardest Soulsborne (and Soulslike) bosses I've fought.
I've recently re-played Bloodborne, Sekiro and DS3, and man did I have a blast.
I've recorded me beating a lot of them on YT since I played my first Souls/FromSoft game in Elden Ring, back at it's release.
I've got the Platinum trophies for: Elden Ring, Sekiro, Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring Nightreign and Lies of P. And I've nearly done Dark Souls Remastered, the last two will unfortunately be Demon Souls and Dark Souls 2, which I've tried and am not much fond of, let's hope I can enjoy them too! This has very rapidly become my favourite series and genre ever and there's no going back now. Next up is beating the "in contention" bosses and getting the Platinums for Demon Souls, DS1 and DS2.
Anyways, I just wanted to ask in here, what are you top 15? These can be from any Soulslike too, but since I have only really played Lies of P (what a game btw), Arlecchino makes it in here!
Mine are:
- Inner Isshin
- Inner Father
- Promise Consort Radahn
- Sister Friede
- Demon of Hatred
- Orphan of Kos
- Arlecchino, the Blood Artist
- Slave Knight Gael
- Darkeater Midir
- Malenia
- Laurence, the First Vicar
- Nameless King
- Ludwig, the Holy Blade
- Lady Maria of the Astral Clocktower
- TBD
In contention for top 15, that I haven't beaten yet:
Demon Souls: Flamelurker
DS1: Manus, Kalameet
DS2: Fume Knight, Sir Alonne
Elden Ring: Bayle the Dread
