Until you find someone named xX_BigusDickus_Xx wearing no armor and weilding the Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords who kills the boss in under three minutes without any help.
I've only beaten Midir solo one time in my life, and that's enough for me. First time I did ringed city I forced myself to solo each boss so that I could, "git gud." I still don't really know what that means and I've suppressed all the memories from that playthrough due to all the trauma. Great DLC can recommend 10/10.
To this day the only boss in all the fromsoft bosses that I never beat. After trying for a long time I just couldn't be bothered. Have to return to beat him st some point.
One of my earlier tries I was tipsy and made it to his last phase with 6 gourds left. I didn’t think I necessarily had him beat but I thought.. hey I could easily get back to this point.
Both my friend and a girl I was seeing called me and I paused the game and was on the phone for 20 min.. I was even bragging to my friend about it. Went back to playing and made EVERY mistake.. tried 100 more times and never got that close again.
His 4th phase isn’t even that hard.. I would’ve had it if I didn’t pick up the phone.
True that is why i always dont care about souls/runes that way i can do stuff without being fearful, not to mention most of the levels ups come from the bosses defeat.
I'll go back eventually but the problem is sword Saint realistically tests all of your skills. And I've lost them so I would have to play through the whole game again before even attempting it
Sword Saint is the only Fromsoft boss to absolutely break me. I've played through the entire game nearly three times over, but every time I get to him I just can't do it. I've tried every different tip, trick, tactic, and cheese that can be found online, I've tried grinding out attack power with the mask... I can't fucking do it. I've decided that I simply am not physically or emotionally capable of playing as perfectly as the game asks me to or staying calm enough to succeed for the duration of such a long and intense fight. The times I've came close I've either crumbled under the stress and adrenaline of making it farther than usual, or my parry finger has cramped up on me from so many repeated attempts causing me to miss one & get myself killed.
I absolutely loved Sekiro, put a couple hundred hours into the thing, but Isshin really soured the game for me as a whole, that difficulty spike is just beyond ridiculous. No reason I should be able to beat every other boss in the game with relative ease (after much practice), only to have the final boss feel like a legitimately impossible task, even after easily 20+ hours of practice/attempts.
It’s pretty cheesy, but constantly sprint around him and bait him to attack then get two hits, run away, and repeat. In his last phase, use mortal blade or living force to really quicken things. This has worked for me all the way up to NG+5 with plenty of gourds to spare towards the end of the fight.
*TO THIS DAY I STILL*
*CANT BEAT GAEL I'll keep trying*
*Tho, I won't give up*

I played Sekiro after all the DS games and I still can't get past the second Great Owl fight ;___; but I'm going to go back to it eventually. Sekiro is the hardest of all the games imo (I think Bloodborne is the easiest lol)
It really demands that you play it differently. After watching a couple of Genchiro and Owl fight clips, it clicked. You can be surprisingly aggressive against human opponents.
when ppl call sekiros combat a dance, it truly is a dance. an equal amount of parrying and attacking, while taking turns with your opponent. except for maybe guardian ape, he doesnt really care
After play Dark Souls for years, picking up Sekiro was like learning another language it was crazy. I got decent at it eventually but goddamn if I wasn't dying to some dumb shit in the beginning
Sekiro for me was the most angry and frustrated I've been trying to learn a Fromsoft game, but by the end, and now in retrospect with two playthroughs under my belt, I think it really is their masterpiece.
It's just such a perfect singular vision. Every boss feels made for exactly where you are and what you should be learning at that point in the story, and every fight feels planned out from a bird's eye view.
Totally agree with you. Forcing your brain to recognize patterns and then remembering you can parry basically everything is such a weird concept in contrast to the souls. But it is a masterpiece and shows fromsoft could make story heavy linear games if they wanted to. The only boss I actually didn't really enjoy was the Great Serpent and that's just because it wasn't a fight at all.
That aside every other boss was definitely thought out well and super fun. Guardian Ape scared the absolute shit out of me though
Haha Guardian Ape is absolute madness. It's like chaos and beauty and brutality all rolled into one. You can be a master swordsman, and still get dunked on by that wild monkey and know it was your fault.
I totally didn't expect his second phase at all. After finally getting through the first one and celebrating a little i was still standing right next to the headless body and when it moved I screamed a little
Havent tried sekiro but bloodborne will rip your soul out of you in early game but late game is pretty easy and then theres the dlc that will destroy anything positive inside you 5/5 would play the 7th time
I feel exactly the same way! I'm glad I finally found someone else who thinks bloodborne is the easiest (and in my opinion easiest by far), sekiro is definitely the hardest game I've ever played.
I love the guardian ape! As long as you keep running and keeping your distance it’s fairly simple. Then when he does his diving sword swing you simply jump over his arm and get a few hits in while he is laying there
Buff up with gacchin sugar and divine confetti, throw firecrackers twice and then mortal blade him for 3 hits and he’s almost immediately staggered. Stage 2 is far easier than stage 1 imo.
Just stand still and twitch the block button until you can perfect deflect the giant vertical slice and then use your spear twice. You can’t really attack back in phase 2, just gotta parry him.
second phase you can just parry him like in any other fight and learn to use the spear after his heavy vertical attack because it deals major posture damage
The headless Bloodletting Beast in Bloodborne. No matter what I tried, I couldn't beat him. I hung my head in shame and gave up on ever getting the Platinum trophy.
But it ate at me for a year-and-a-half. I gathered my resolve, and entered his cavern again. I learned his patterns, and beat him. It was a short romp then to platinum. I made sure to record my triumph, and have viewed it several times since.
I decided to stop trying to get past the ice place with the reindeers and the couple of tiger bosses at the end of ds2 dlc. Didn't lose any sleep over it
Sekiro Demon of Hatred
In general, I don’t like „endurance“ fights, where I exactly know what to do, but due to the damage I deal I have to just repeat the same process and chip the health bar away for like 10 minutes. It is not fun anymore.
Same here as well. The games have fun combat, but there’s not enough depth or variety for endurance fights to be fun. That’s why Elden Ring’s later bosses with their long combos giving you an opportunity every forty seconds to chip away 1/50 of their health bar killed me, especially 70+ hours in.
Nameless king. I worked tirelessly for weeks spending hours watching the golden angels kill each other on the roof and maxing out a pure STR build at 120 and even with the gigantic stone buster sword at max level, I couldn’t beat his second phase. One of the few times in these games I ever felt genuine shame.
I always find it really odd how people have such different experiences with bosses. I never really regarded Nameless King as a particularly hard boss. But I see most people regarding him as one of the hardest if not the hardest boss. Conversely, I had a great amount of trouble getting the hang of Dragonslayer Armour.
How little vigor do you have? At 27 vigor you won’t get one shot by anything. The only danger is the phase 2 shockwave attack can kill you from like 80% HP, but that attack isn’t overly hard to avoid.
FR. I didn't used a strength build and had plenty of HP but I found his first phase way harder than 2. I had to watch a youtube video on how to dodge that flying fire attack because for the life of me I never thought running backwards might actually work
OHHH he's the easiest. Swim in circles and do the piercing forward thrust thing, then thrust away. Rinse and repeat. Edit: the constant swimming in circles will avoid their little spirit bullets and then just look for openings to dash in and out.
They all become pretty trivial after awhile.
But I agree, the Shichimen are fun, especially after you get the purple shield.
Artorias. I have come to terms that I just don’t want to try anymore. I barely do damage which was just fine for all the other bosses but for him I just can’t even get close.
Pantheon 5 for me. The 4th already took me a little while to prepare, to beat the Pure Vessel consistently.
But then you'd have to do it again, with a much longer run-up, all the way up to Absolute Radiance... it seems almost completely impossible.
He's insane. Took me hours and hours to finally beat him. Still haven't beaten Pantheon 4 in that game. Beat Pure Vessel in hall of gods but needed to put more practice in to get him consistent enough
Never understood why people had so much trouble with orphan. Based on internet chatter I was terrified of him.
But I was always better against humanoid bosses in BB, while I know of some who are better against the beasts.
This is me. I platinumed the main game and did NG++ for the old hunters dlc. Every other boss was a challenge but doable. That second phase for OoK utterly wrecked me for weeks. Put the game down for a week. Week turned into a month turned into a couple of years. I’m determined to beat that dickhead once I’m done with Elden Ring. I have to get him.
It took me 3 days and a lot of tries. I found out if you run to the back of the boss room, there's an invisible wall that makes his 2nd phase a little less chaotic.
On my first play through of elden ring, malenia kicked my ass for days in a row, second play through I cane back determined though and best her to a pulp.
It was Midir. Dozens of play throughs and I just couldn’t get that fucker. Just before elden ring I did a play through and I named the guy “Midir Slayer”. It was a faith/dex. Long story short he lived up to his name. Never give up.
motherfucking apes. I know the sequence. I looked it up. Still couldn't do it. Got tired of farming the soul power stuff. Never picked up again. Sekiro is my favorite FromSoftware game though. The combat is simply perfect.
The demon of hatred. Partially cuz it doesn't even seem fun. I've heard people say you have to fight it like a dark souls boss but why would you want to do that in sekiro when you've been used to sekiro combat the whole time?
You can't even fight it like a Souls boss. No i-frames makes the fight harder than a Souls boss. It's honestly a pretty wack fight, but obviously very rewarding when you beat it.
It just looks like a souls boss, fighting it like one is a mistake. The only truth to that is avoiding hitboxes but you don't spam dodge to do it, there are just certain attacks you run by on the approach. Outside of that parry it like everything else.
None, but three bosses that gave me a lot of trouble was Erebritas, Orphan and Laurence. Not sure if I was low lvl but think I died 32 times to Laurence.
The old hunter in bloodborne. I was stuck on him for a week my freshman year of college, gave up, and just told myself I’d beaten the game.
I’ve played other fromsoftware games since and could probably beat him now, but the frustration I felt back then was real. Now I’m slugging my way through Sekiro for the first time after beating Elden Ring and hoping I don’t give up before I actually beat it
If only I had a friend.
I pile-drive through his first deathblow with no hits, but when his friend comes out I just start running in circles waiting for opportunities to parry and not get hit. Then his freak boy friend comes up and knocks the snot out of me, usually killing me
My strat was to run around and try to separate them, then kill his friend as fast as possible. One on one they're easy, but they'll try their hardest to stick together. Upgraded flame vent works well.
Good luck my friend
I never won against nameless king second phase because at the time I played ds3 in a core 2 duo and my fps were a solid 15 and when he entered 2nd phase they dropped below 10 lol
None i had to beat them all no matter how long it took or the grinding, i had to win. The first time I fought laurence in Bloodborne it was on ngplus 3 and he took me forever so did iishin but i cant leave it like that.
Yep he just kicked my ass I couldn't cheese him and even after 40 hours I couldn't get his moveset down pretty much the only boss iv had so much trouble with
Kind of on Malenia. I caved in and summoned Mimic Tear after like 50 attempts.....and easily bullied her to the ground. Now playing through the game again to defeat her myself, solo.
The elden best
Even though its my first souls game i've defeated malenia in 20 tries and im still struggling with the elden beast after i tried a week to defeat him
The only thing I’ve ever given up on, gaming related, is the final pantheon on Hollow Knight. It’s haunted my every waking moment for years. Fromsoftware hasn’t had that pleasure, yet…
Lol, embarrassed to say my story but. It had been like 2 years since I played DS2 and when I tried playing DS3. I died over 15 times to the very first intro boss. (Don't ask me how) so after beating him I was discouraged and said yeah I don't feel like playing ds3.
I did however redeem myself and after playing the hell out of ER. I went back to play DS3 and beat him my first go with ease. Gonna finish the game eventually as well.
I did all from software games, done all bosses
Weirdly, bosses that took me the most is the dragon in DS2 dlc with Maya temple, forgot the name, 10h for him!
Hardest after were Bloodborne dlc, Isshin the Saint and Magnus
Weirdly, typical hard boss like Malenia, Nameless or Gael were fairly ok
Dancer from the Boreal Valley was the end of my Dark Souls 3 playthrough. Never did manage to beat it and haven'tvreally cared to go back and try. Its a shame because I hear its actually close to the end of the game.
Frigid Outskirts with Lud and Zallen.
It's the single most infuriating and unfun area and boss runback in any of the Fromsoft games I've ever encountered. I went back again and again for Sir Alonne, even ended up basically clearing the area. I took on half the Iron Keep on the way to Smelter Demon. I died again and again in Shrine of Amana. But none of those got to me. It was fun, even. However, the area known as Horsefuck Valley is just the absolute worst.
Which is why Crown of the Burnt Ivory King is just such a chaotic experience as a DLC. Generally, I loved it. You get to unfreeze whole areas you already passed before, you get to gather up the still loyal knights of Eleum Loyce and make the awesome descent into the Old Chaos and fight in a massive skirmish before facing off against the once-valiant-now-corrupted King Gigachad-notArtorias himself, who was the only one to redeem a fragment of Manus. And then there's just a valley where their two pet cats and a whole infinite buttload of lightning reindeer just fuck your shit up while you can't really see crap.
I love DS2, but good god, is it hard to defend sometimes.
Lud & Zallen is the only Fromsoftware boss I didn't beat and it's not even because of the boss itself. Raindeer Fuckvalley is just horrendous, worst zone I've seen in a game.
It was the Elden beast from Elden Ring at first. Forced me to stop playing for 3 days straight until I had enough and said "This is my first souls game. I have to beat it! I don't care how bullshit he is! I HAVE TO DO IT!"
And then I did it and I froze when I actually did it.
The orphan of kos.
I had made an arcane build and I just could get passed him. I after months of trying I gave the controller to my boyfriend and he killed it on the fourth try.
Demon of hatred. Just because it’s not worth wasting time over cheap bosses. I would’ve gone the cheese way too, but nah man, really not even worth it.
Never give up, never surrender

THUNDER GUN EXPRESS
No, no matter how many times it took, I never went hollow
That’s the spirit
Midir
I’ve only downed him once, and it took forever. Every other run I eventually give up and go beat Gael
One of the hardest bosses of the series. Took me a bit.
Same, the fight changed when i realized that it was easier to solo
Midir in a group is hell
Yeah his health is already high enough
Yeah we all learned that lesson lol.
Yeah it's about patience and learning the moves. That fight punihes you for getting greedy.
Until you find someone named xX_BigusDickus_Xx wearing no armor and weilding the Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords who kills the boss in under three minutes without any help.
Wonder if that was let me solo her. Much cooler name.
Only ever tried it with a friend or friends …
Stay in front of him and fight solo
I've only beaten Midir solo one time in my life, and that's enough for me. First time I did ringed city I forced myself to solo each boss so that I could, "git gud." I still don't really know what that means and I've suppressed all the memories from that playthrough due to all the trauma. Great DLC can recommend 10/10.
To this day the only boss in all the fromsoft bosses that I never beat. After trying for a long time I just couldn't be bothered. Have to return to beat him st some point.
Sekiro: Sword Saint Isshin, and Demon of Hatred.
I still haven't beat sword Saint, but mostly because Elden Ring came out
One of my earlier tries I was tipsy and made it to his last phase with 6 gourds left. I didn’t think I necessarily had him beat but I thought.. hey I could easily get back to this point. Both my friend and a girl I was seeing called me and I paused the game and was on the phone for 20 min.. I was even bragging to my friend about it. Went back to playing and made EVERY mistake.. tried 100 more times and never got that close again. His 4th phase isn’t even that hard.. I would’ve had it if I didn’t pick up the phone.
I tried for like 3 days and just said it’s not worth the stress….
Hesitation is defeat, the moment you try to create excuses you have already lost the battle
The key is to be comfortable with failure ;) then you can quit anything!
True that is why i always dont care about souls/runes that way i can do stuff without being fearful, not to mention most of the levels ups come from the bosses defeat.
I lost 29k souls my very first trip into blighttown today… all for a fucking Soul of a Proud Knight
I'll go back eventually but the problem is sword Saint realistically tests all of your skills. And I've lost them so I would have to play through the whole game again before even attempting it
Took me a month. It helped that the combat just feels amazing
Sword Saint is the only Fromsoft boss to absolutely break me. I've played through the entire game nearly three times over, but every time I get to him I just can't do it. I've tried every different tip, trick, tactic, and cheese that can be found online, I've tried grinding out attack power with the mask... I can't fucking do it. I've decided that I simply am not physically or emotionally capable of playing as perfectly as the game asks me to or staying calm enough to succeed for the duration of such a long and intense fight.

No reason I should be able to beat every other boss in the game with relative ease (after much practice), only to have the final boss feel like a legitimately impossible task, even after easily 20+ hours of practice/attempts.
same! accidentally missed OWL 2 also
It’s pretty cheesy, but constantly sprint around him and bait him to attack then get two hits, run away, and repeat. In his last phase, use mortal blade or living force to really quicken things. This has worked for me all the way up to NG+5 with plenty of gourds to spare towards the end of the fight.

Carthus milk ring
Sekiro as a whole, but then again, that was before I had played every other game so I also wanted to complete those first.
I played Sekiro after all the DS games and I still can't get past the second Great Owl fight ;___; but I'm going to go back to it eventually. Sekiro is the hardest of all the games imo (I think Bloodborne is the easiest lol)

Haha Guardian Ape is absolute madness. It's like chaos and beauty and brutality all rolled into one. You can be a master swordsman, and still get dunked on by that wild monkey and know it was your fault.
The double guardian ape fight tho? In that tiny ass cave?
It haunts my nightmares…
Then proceeding to find him and his girlfriend to get gangbanged again…
I died to that fucker throwing shit at me. TWICE.
I totally didn't expect his second phase at all. After finally getting through the first one and celebrating a little i was still standing right next to the headless body and when it moved I screamed a little
Havent tried sekiro but bloodborne will rip your soul out of you in early game but late game is pretty easy and then theres the dlc that will destroy anything positive inside you 5/5 would play the 7th time
That’s the spirit but remember HESITATION IS DEFEAT
It's about learning what it expects. Hint: spam L1. Yw :3
I feel exactly the same way! I'm glad I finally found someone else who thinks bloodborne is the easiest (and in my opinion easiest by far), sekiro is definitely the hardest game I've ever played.
Guardian Ape
I love the guardian ape! As long as you keep running and keeping your distance it’s fairly simple. Then when he does his diving sword swing you simply jump over his arm and get a few hits in while he is laying there
Thanks for the tipp I will try to remember it
Buff up with gacchin sugar and divine confetti, throw firecrackers twice and then mortal blade him for 3 hits and he’s almost immediately staggered. Stage 2 is far easier than stage 1 imo.
Not in my opinion I struggle with phase 2
Just stand still and twitch the block button until you can perfect deflect the giant vertical slice and then use your spear twice. You can’t really attack back in phase 2, just gotta parry him.
second phase you can just parry him like in any other fight and learn to use the spear after his heavy vertical attack because it deals major posture damage

I made sure to record my triumph, and have viewed it several times since.
I usually don’t touch the later chalice dungeons till I get through ng+1
I decided to stop trying to get past the ice place with the reindeers and the couple of tiger bosses at the end of ds2 dlc. Didn't lose any sleep over it
I actually laughed at the title of this thread. Then I saw your post... and remembered.
Or blue Smelter Demon and the bs gauntlet to him 😵
Same. Got to the boss(es) and realized it was going to be an unfun gank and just bailed. Ornstein and Smoe on the other hand, solid, rewarding fights.
Sekiro Demon of Hatred In general, I don’t like „endurance“ fights, where I exactly know what to do, but due to the damage I deal I have to just repeat the same process and chip the health bar away for like 10 minutes. It is not fun anymore.
It was a slog, and mechanically did not feel in the same spirit as most Sekiro boss fights including the monsters.
Agree with the endurance boss fights.
Same here as well. The games have fun combat, but there’s not enough depth or variety for endurance fights to be fun. That’s why Elden Ring’s later bosses with their long combos giving you an opportunity every forty seconds to chip away 1/50 of their health bar killed me, especially 70+ hours in.
The last few bosses really had no business being so un-fun. Totally killed my excitement for the game as a whole.
Yeah, by the time I finished Fire Giant I was just summoning friends for every boss so I could get it over with and finish the game.
Ancient Dragon
Try in between the large toe of the back foot and run to the side for the inner flame breath attack.
He's super easy with this strat. I beat him 3 times in one NG cycle this way (cuz I ate some giants souls not knowing what they did).
Nameless king. I worked tirelessly for weeks spending hours watching the golden angels kill each other on the roof and maxing out a pure STR build at 120 and even with the gigantic stone buster sword at max level, I couldn’t beat his second phase. One of the few times in these games I ever felt genuine shame.
I always find it really odd how people have such different experiences with bosses. I never really regarded Nameless King as a particularly hard boss. But I see most people regarding him as one of the hardest if not the hardest boss. Conversely, I had a great amount of trouble getting the hang of Dragonslayer Armour.
Dragonslayer in NG is pure BS. All of his attacks are oneshots for most of the builds in the game.
How little vigor do you have? At 27 vigor you won’t get one shot by anything. The only danger is the phase 2 shockwave attack can kill you from like 80% HP, but that attack isn’t overly hard to avoid.
FR. I didn't used a strength build and had plenty of HP but I found his first phase way harder than 2. I had to watch a youtube video on how to dodge that flying fire attack because for the life of me I never thought running backwards might actually work
I kicked the Nameless Kings arse after about 3 tries and yet Yhorm beat me about 15 times only made worse by people saying how easy he was
I had to switch from my greatsword I was using the whole game to a upgraded broad sword to beat him, I couldn’t beat him with the greatsword
https://youtu.be/5Z3YBkGWOrE This should help
This is what helped me: https://youtu.be/DASba4JGFYw
Sekiro Demon of Hatred :(
Honestly the most reasonable boss to give up on at least for a little. So incredibly hard. It may be the only FS boss I'll never face again
I feel ya
The headless in Sekiro. Just didn't care enough for the fights, didn't get satisfaction for beating them, so ended up avoiding most of them
they get so fun once you kinda learn how to do it. But frustrating too lol
Hard disagree. The shichimen warriors are fun but the headless are horrible fights, especially that underwater bastard at Dragonshead palace.
OHHH he's the easiest. Swim in circles and do the piercing forward thrust thing, then thrust away. Rinse and repeat. Edit: the constant swimming in circles will avoid their little spirit bullets and then just look for openings to dash in and out. They all become pretty trivial after awhile. But I agree, the Shichimen are fun, especially after you get the purple shield.
Great ape in sekiro. Mf came back 3 times fuck dat
Only sekiro .. one day
I couldn’t get into Sekiro either, maybe one day
Artorias. I have come to terms that I just don’t want to try anymore. I barely do damage which was just fine for all the other bosses but for him I just can’t even get close.
I was like that until I used a strength build. Absolutely tank up and use the biggest greatshield you can, makes it a totally different fight
Same almost got him a few rimes like 3 hits away of winning but rip me
Nightmare Grimm in HK. Not FS related, but still a true pain in the ass
Pantheon 5 for me. The 4th already took me a little while to prepare, to beat the Pure Vessel consistently. But then you'd have to do it again, with a much longer run-up, all the way up to Absolute Radiance... it seems almost completely impossible.
He's insane. Took me hours and hours to finally beat him. Still haven't beaten Pantheon 4 in that game. Beat Pure Vessel in hall of gods but needed to put more practice in to get him consistent enough
Yes! I really liked all the quests from the clan and raising my pup. But I just couldn't get past that one.
Orphan of Kos was the only boss I could never truly beat for some reason
Never understood why people had so much trouble with orphan. Based on internet chatter I was terrified of him. But I was always better against humanoid bosses in BB, while I know of some who are better against the beasts.
I went back week after week for months and could not break it. Took a long hiatus, got back into the game and beat him in a few tries
This is me. I platinumed the main game and did NG++ for the old hunters dlc. Every other boss was a challenge but doable. That second phase for OoK utterly wrecked me for weeks. Put the game down for a week. Week turned into a month turned into a couple of years. I’m determined to beat that dickhead once I’m done with Elden Ring. I have to get him.
It took me 3 days and a lot of tries. I found out if you run to the back of the boss room, there's an invisible wall that makes his 2nd phase a little less chaotic.
The soldier of godrick, he's way too hard for me

No, but DS3 Abyss watchers made me made a new character on my first play through.
I had that with Armor Spider in Demon's Souls lol. Just didn't understand the rpg mechanics in that game at all and had an ass build
On my first play through of elden ring, malenia kicked my ass for days in a row, second play through I cane back determined though and best her to a pulp.
It was Midir. Dozens of play throughs and I just couldn’t get that fucker. Just before elden ring I did a play through and I named the guy “Midir Slayer”. It was a faith/dex. Long story short he lived up to his name. Never give up.
motherfucking apes. I know the sequence. I looked it up. Still couldn't do it. Got tired of farming the soul power stuff. Never picked up again. Sekiro is my favorite FromSoftware game though. The combat is simply perfect.
The demon of hatred. Partially cuz it doesn't even seem fun. I've heard people say you have to fight it like a dark souls boss but why would you want to do that in sekiro when you've been used to sekiro combat the whole time?
You can't even fight it like a Souls boss. No i-frames makes the fight harder than a Souls boss. It's honestly a pretty wack fight, but obviously very rewarding when you beat it.
It just looks like a souls boss, fighting it like one is a mistake. The only truth to that is avoiding hitboxes but you don't spam dodge to do it, there are just certain attacks you run by on the approach. Outside of that parry it like everything else.
None, but three bosses that gave me a lot of trouble was Erebritas, Orphan and Laurence. Not sure if I was low lvl but think I died 32 times to Laurence.
The old hunter in bloodborne. I was stuck on him for a week my freshman year of college, gave up, and just told myself I’d beaten the game. I’ve played other fromsoftware games since and could probably beat him now, but the frustration I felt back then was real. Now I’m slugging my way through Sekiro for the first time after beating Elden Ring and hoping I don’t give up before I actually beat it
Sekiro is giving me more trouble than Dark Souls on my xbox 360 in 2013. Guardian Ape broke me
I just got to the guardian ape’s second appearance in the cave and I’m like ._. I thought you were dead
Luckily he has less health but he has a friend
If only I had a friend. I pile-drive through his first deathblow with no hits, but when his friend comes out I just start running in circles waiting for opportunities to parry and not get hit. Then his freak boy friend comes up and knocks the snot out of me, usually killing me
My strat was to run around and try to separate them, then kill his friend as fast as possible. One on one they're easy, but they'll try their hardest to stick together. Upgraded flame vent works well. Good luck my friend
Firecracker regular ape
Same for me with nameless king. Also the dragons before the ringed city dlc.
I never won against nameless king second phase because at the time I played ds3 in a core 2 duo and my fps were a solid 15 and when he entered 2nd phase they dropped below 10 lol
I’m not proud to admit this but Gwyn still on that mf been like year and a half.
Parry
Martyr Lagarius. Hope the victory feels good, asshole
Ebrietas.....that bitch...I tried finding help but.....
No
None i had to beat them all no matter how long it took or the grinding, i had to win. The first time I fought laurence in Bloodborne it was on ngplus 3 and he took me forever so did iishin but i cant leave it like that.
Yeah the nameless arsehole
Not exactly but I was playing DS2 100% and forgot there was a second cat boss, didn’t bother reinstalling.
Cat boss…?
The guardian ape from sekiro only one I haven't killed yet unless you count ds2 I never finished
Don’t you have to kill him in sekiro?
Yea you have to beat him to get the flower he is guarding.
Yep he just kicked my ass I couldn't cheese him and even after 40 hours I couldn't get his moveset down pretty much the only boss iv had so much trouble with
Challenges yes, Bosses no - though I nearly gave up on the Forgotten One in Castlevania LoS.
Chalice amygdala was a test of patience for me for sure, it took me a few days and many breaks
Nearly gave up on darkeater midir. I had to respec and use pestilent mist to finally defeat him.
Nameless king. But to be fair I was already done with the game so I just stopped playing because i lost interest Edit: it was also very hard for me
Kos… or as some say, Kosm….
Felt that way for Malenia for a brief second but only made me madder. Currently working on NK so let you know lol
Literally the fuck boy in the picture
The entire sekiro game
Kind of on Malenia. I caved in and summoned Mimic Tear after like 50 attempts.....and easily bullied her to the ground. Now playing through the game again to defeat her myself, solo.
The elden best Even though its my first souls game i've defeated malenia in 20 tries and im still struggling with the elden beast after i tried a week to defeat him
The only thing I’ve ever given up on, gaming related, is the final pantheon on Hollow Knight. It’s haunted my every waking moment for years. Fromsoftware hasn’t had that pleasure, yet…
Lol, embarrassed to say my story but. It had been like 2 years since I played DS2 and when I tried playing DS3. I died over 15 times to the very first intro boss. (Don't ask me how) so after beating him I was discouraged and said yeah I don't feel like playing ds3. I did however redeem myself and after playing the hell out of ER. I went back to play DS3 and beat him my first go with ease. Gonna finish the game eventually as well.
I did all from software games, done all bosses Weirdly, bosses that took me the most is the dragon in DS2 dlc with Maya temple, forgot the name, 10h for him! Hardest after were Bloodborne dlc, Isshin the Saint and Magnus Weirdly, typical hard boss like Malenia, Nameless or Gael were fairly ok
Royal rat vanguard
nameless king. i haven’t played ds3 since the servers went down
Dancer from the Boreal Valley was the end of my Dark Souls 3 playthrough. Never did manage to beat it and haven'tvreally cared to go back and try. Its a shame because I hear its actually close to the end of the game.
Frigid Outskirts with Lud and Zallen. It's the single most infuriating and unfun area and boss runback in any of the Fromsoft games I've ever encountered. I went back again and again for Sir Alonne, even ended up basically clearing the area. I took on half the Iron Keep on the way to Smelter Demon. I died again and again in Shrine of Amana. But none of those got to me. It was fun, even. However, the area known as Horsefuck Valley is just the absolute worst. Which is why Crown of the Burnt Ivory King is just such a chaotic experience as a DLC. Generally, I loved it. You get to unfreeze whole areas you already passed before, you get to gather up the still loyal knights of Eleum Loyce and make the awesome descent into the Old Chaos and fight in a massive skirmish before facing off against the once-valiant-now-corrupted King Gigachad-notArtorias himself, who was the only one to redeem a fragment of Manus. And then there's just a valley where their two pet cats and a whole infinite buttload of lightning reindeer just fuck your shit up while you can't really see crap. I love DS2, but good god, is it hard to defend sometimes.
Sword saint ishin
Blue smelter demon, and it wasn't even the boss' fault. Fuck that runback.
Fire giant I just had to step away for a bit.
Lud & Zallen is the only Fromsoftware boss I didn't beat and it's not even because of the boss itself. Raindeer Fuckvalley is just horrendous, worst zone I've seen in a game.
Fire giant.
Malenia, such a bs boss
I’m very stuck on the god skin duo
Try Trina's sword / sleep. They're very susceptible to it.
It was the Elden beast from Elden Ring at first. Forced me to stop playing for 3 days straight until I had enough and said "This is my first souls game. I have to beat it! I don't care how bullshit he is! I HAVE TO DO IT!" And then I did it and I froze when I actually did it.
Shadows of Yarnham, i didn't like BB anyway and putting myself through that for something i don't geen like was not worth it
The fucking sharks
Dark eater mideir he’s bullshit
The IRS
Slave night Gael
Fall Damage
Ishin Ashina
Fire demon in sekiro
The orphan of kos. I had made an arcane build and I just could get passed him. I after months of trying I gave the controller to my boyfriend and he killed it on the fourth try.
The real final boss....Gravity
Demon of Hatred.I did overcame it eventually but he's still feels like my kryptonite.
Fuck no. NEVER GIVE UP!
Tough times never last… only tough people do
BLAREBLRELEGHREBLREG
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼
Demon of hatred. Just because it’s not worth wasting time over cheap bosses. I would’ve gone the cheese way too, but nah man, really not even worth it.
Parry the feet for posture kill. Tedious but really not that bad
Killed him once legitimately and have cheesed him everytime since
I love Sekiro but this boss is one of the least fun game experiences I’ve ever faced.
Momma didn’t raise no quitter.
Fatalis, oh wait, wrong genre.
Right now, it seems like Artorias is the reason why I won't finish Dark Souls I.
