"yeah this dude killed my whole family and burned down my house with me inside of it. A tier."

Rellana not getting a cutscene was absolutely criminal. Especially since she was such a good fight. Reminded me of the dancer from DS3.

Did i hear "Skibidi avatar" Edit: 1k likes? Elon musk please collab

Honestly, Messmer, Bayle and Midra are all S-tier for me

The common theme of this dlc bosses is that the camera is never on your side

Rallana should have 100% have had a cutscene

Never let bro cook again.

Radahn first phase is peak. But the 2nd phase is just mad disrespectful. A Tier. Messmer being S-tier is FACTUAL

I honestly find putrescent knights big combo the easiest thing to dodge. Dodge into him once, dodge the horse. Dodge into him again immedietly, dodge his horse again, then dodge him 1 more time. Then you get a solid like 5 or 6 seconds to just wail on him. The timing of it is easy to get down, and i find it easier to dodge than any of his other attacks lmao I genuinely feel happy when i see that attack coming out

first phase of radahn was amazing but second was too much for my pc sometimes and you just dont know whats going on

I'm glad to see someone else really likes Romina's fight. Idk why but I just had a lot of fun with it. I think Romina, Bayle and Messmer are my top 3 Bosses of the DLC.

How you gonna put that busted ass dancing lion above rellana sword fights are always more fun then beast fight running simulators

Midras music is insanely phenomenal for that and the cool fight he’s my favorite

Messmer is definitely the best boss look forward to him with childlike excitement everytime I start ng+

Think you can do the sub bosses? A lot of them are completely new concept and fight wise. Jori for example was an absolutely abysmal fight id rank D or E. Being both a bullet hell and a boss that summons minions.

CURSE YOU BAYLE! I HEREBY VOW! YOU WILL RUE THIS DAY! BEHOLD, A TRUE DRAKE WARRIOR! AND I, IGON! YOUR FEAR MADE FLESH! SOLID OF SCALE YOU MIGHT BE, FOUL DRAGON... BUT I WILL RIDDLE WITH HOLES YOUR ROTTEN HIDE! WITH A HAIL OF HARPOONS! WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY BEING!

1. Messmer 2. Bayle 3. Midra 4. Relanna 5. Romina 6. Radahn & Miquella 7. Divine Beast 8. Putrescent 9. Metyr 10. Scadu Avatar 11. Gaius I literally enjoyed every single one of these fights, although Gaius is last I even think he is way too over hated (yes if you roll into his charge it still hits you, you’re still under the hog and getting trampled it’s not a bad hitbox, roll to the side)

The camera issues made some fights annoying

Midra and Bayle should’ve been S-tier. Midra bc of his cool ass design and cutscene, Bayle bc of Igon and the visula spectacle that he is. Ps: Death Knight should’ve been part of the list, A-tier.

A very good and accurate list. Honestly I'm shocked such a thing could exist

Camera issues can be mitigated by learning when to stop locking on, this is a lesson Bloodborne taught me due to how big and fast some of its bosses are

midra is just a big skill check. no random bs, no inconsistencies, just a fun, kinda difficult fight.

Midra is my absolute favorite boss. I just love is simplicity yet being so punishing if you get careless

I personally find putrescent knight an S tier fight, I live dodging his combos and find what attacks to punish and not punish, all it takes is a little patience and not a dex build and this fight is extremely fun. (Side note: the intro to this fight is awesome)

3rd phase skibidi avatar was probably my favourite experience from the dlc. I felt as exhausted and out of heals as the flower was.

Me - Fighting Rahdan expecting a regular meteor move Me - looks away for 2 seconds Giant explosion

"Putrescent Knight has a combo that is 11 attacks long!" Malenia: ..."pathetic"

that 11 combo is brutal

Bayle deserves S tier. Simply for the PEAK known as "CURSE YOU BAYLEEEEEE"

Personal ranking. S tier: Midra, Old Gen fights are just way more fun on replay, and just in general. A tier: None. B tier: Metyr, I dunno I mean…she’s fine I guess…I have very little to say she wasn’t here nor there, she has no glaring issues but like…there’s nothing here I really go: “woah this is awesome” too aside from the arena in the first 10 seconds. Romina, I just gotta practice more on her tbh. Dancing Lion, just a fun OST and insane fight, but the camera issues are peak annoying. Messmer: He’s only enjoyable for me because his damage is so low. C tier: Rellana, if she didn’t soft faint her openings, and if she had staggers like Malenia, she’d be a B. D Tier: Putrescent Knight, the hitboxes are jank, and his ult is annoying as hell. Wouldn’t even be hard if he didn’t move around like a coke addled energy drink addict. F Tier: Commander Giaus, I don’t even care if I said his name right, fuck this guy. Leda’s Squad, Fromsoft, stop, please fucking stop, they don’t work, they’ve never worked. Consort Radahn, I hate AOE spammers as is, he’s like the most new gen fight ever and it isn’t fun in any sense. His lore is bad, his fight is boring trash, he’s a spectacle based fight which I immediately don’t care about, and his remembrance wasted my time. Would’ve rather have gotten a Miquella sword.

Radahn and rellana being in the same category as the sunflower boss is outrageous

BAYLE, VILE BAYLE, O TERROR INCARNATE, YOU TOO SHALL KNOW FEAR OF NOT BEING PUT IN S TIER

Bro Gaius is maximum D tier, probably even lower than that

I find learning of Rellana's true significance during the fight through her attacks more interesting than it would be in a cutscene of her going "Perish under the weight of Rellana twin moons" or something

Romina needed a cutscene too!!! She was my favorite boss in the game!

Gaius this high is criminal

Radan was ridiculously difficult, but fun for me nonetheless. High A for me based on not being able to see in phase two

All the best bosses start with m Midir Maliketh Malenia Messmer Morgott Metyr

Its just me or while fights like Messmer are truly cool, they feel more easy than others like Gaius and Bayle? For me Bayle was truly a combat learning the moves that felt unnatural but presented great punish chances, while Messmer was much easier to learn his moves because there wasn't something you could not read on a first glance with patience (aside of his ultimate move maybe, but still)

Midra’s fight has this eerie atmosphere. The way he moves is kind of disturbing for me. He’s also just so cool looking, and the fight was really fun to learn (besides that one laser attack in the second phase, I hate that attack.)

Bro putting rellana and scadutree avatar on the same tier is criminal 😭

yeah Radahn's 2nd phase was just so confusing, you really can't see shit

Personally I would rank them S: Bayle, Messmer A: Midra, Putrescent Knight, Rellana, Radahn B: Romina, Metyr, Lion C: Gaius Z: Scadutree Avatar Although I realize it doesn't stack up to some of the other bosses, Putrescent Knight was probably my favorite boss in the dlc lol. I thought he was really cool and a lot of fun. Bayle and Messmer I think are pretty universally agreed to be the two best bosses though. Scadutree Avatar was an oozing blister on the beauty that is Elden Ring.

There are all C D and E with the brink of F

Messmer is S-tier - automatic approval. He is probably one of the best bosses From Software had ever made. Epic, glorious, and an absolute CANDY to dodge. Also Bayle would probably be higher in your list if you got an option to damage him from range. Every build has some space for it - greatbow or ballista/cannon for str build, longbow for dex build, spells for int/fth/arc. Solves main issue everyone is having with Bayle - tough to hit in melee because of how much he moves

The community continues to overhype Midir’s difficulty for some reason lol. He’s hard for sure but he genuinely has one of the most consistent and predictable movesets in the entire series, to the point where you can reliably dodge literally everything he throws at you every single time. He’s hard to learn but extremely easy to master if that makes sense. He’s definitely top 5-7 hardest in DS3 but I would never put him above Friede, Nameless, Gael, or Demon Prince tbh. Love him though, he’s one of my favorite bosses in the entire series and was my favorite dragon until Bayle came along.

Never let bro cook ever again

Gius was S tier for me. I've always liked the tree sentinal bosses from the base game, and he was a more difficult and fun version of any of them. Draconic Tree Sentinal also gave you the ability to use torrent but made it more difficult with his super strong aoe attacks and lightning

Bayle is S tier for me because of three wise words: *CURSE YOU BAYLE!!!*

Promised Consort Radahn of Miquella deserves C Tier/D Tier

Agreed except Midra, my personal experience with him was goated. Not the same boss for everyone tho.

Consort Radahn is the only boss that finally lags the game.

Romina as a 2nd favorite is ridiculous. She's belongs in C.

Radahn would be an S-tier if he didnt have the arena leaving attack

I feel like all remembrance bosses should’ve gotten their own cutscene

Honestly I never got the messmer hype, he was just forgettable for me when I beat him I wasn't really shocked or happy, radahn is easily my fav boss though amazing ost and visually amazing fight

I think radahn is a solid A tier and the putrescent knight for me (personal opinion) is one of my favorite fights in fromsoft, but is a B tier in gameplay

For me almost all bosses were S tier, (almost) all were really hard but fair. It wasn’t like malenia who was really easy except waterfowl, just everything was hard as shit but fair, except for gaius charge hitbox and radahn undodgeable combo

Not having Bayle s tier is criminal

Feel like you were a bit generous but I agree 👍

Divine beast not being S tier is criminal

I can’t make any progress on the second phase of Radahn. I do not know what I’m doing wrong.

Putting Rellana below devine beast should be a crime

I hate the fact in 2nd phase rhadan you probably spend more time running away then actually hitting the boss

Idk why you blame camera, locking in and out camera is part of the learning sometimes.

Messmer and rellana are my S tiers

Personally Bayle was my favourite, he was the perfect mix of cinematic flair and difficulty and how could I ignore Igon and his indestructible vocal cords, it was like fighting Radagon for the first time again with how much of a spectacle it was Oh and Radahn is somehow an S tier start into an F tier 2nd phase like holy shit it is actually unfair that they took a boss fight that had me rock solid with that intro cutscene and first phase and completely fumbled it with this fuckin Touhou bullet hell 2nd phase

Tbh, favorite boss of the dlc is Bayle the dread, simply because he is now the most cinematic and fun boss to fight in elden ring

I totally agree, but i would switch dancing lion with Rellana, and i would put commander gay on D tier, bcs its just so stupid unfair bossfight that made me wanna kill myself.

This video proves to me you can’t truly rank bosses until you do it sl1.

Flame spear ash of war destroys the scadutree avatar make sure to aim for the head

All of these bosses were a challenge, radahn was just more of a challenge than most

This one seems fair.

The only one I disagree with a lot of is the Dancing Kion. The visual clutter and nonstop aggressiveness ruined the fight. I literally couldn't see wtf was going half the time after I got him down half health.

Perdonally i dont mind anything radahn does, visual clutter never felt like an issie and all his moves felt fair to dodge, the only exception is that bullshit triple swipe. Other than that i'd say hes S tier tho there are a few bosses i put above him. However, an issue i noticed is that in multiplayer his clones have no idea who they want to target and so its just a guessing game, stuck to helping people on messmer until i can get better at that fight

If you moved Rellana and Romania upto to S we'd have identical lists.

I agree with this list nostly. Midra would go down to B tier I think all remembrance bosses should have intro cut scenes and I hate having to fight phase one 1 midra to go back to phase 2

I know they’re not a main boss by Jori the elder inquisitor is absolutely F tier and I will die on this hill

Putting divine dancer over rellana is crazy

Yup I notice most of the new weapons have high mobility and during pvp have a difficult time locking unto the opponent

Phase 1 Radhann is A tier for me. Phase 2 though can go eat crayons for all I care in F tier Such a mess of a boss honestly.

Rudan is sadly my least favorite fight of the whole dlc

I didn’t lock on for the lion made the camera issues go away for me atleast

Bayle s tier cause he's so cool visually but I haven't fought him yet so that may change haha

Phase 2 Radahn is C tier for me, and thats me being generous. I cannot stand him, he is the only boss in the history of me playing Elden Ring that made me completely respec to a build that everyone else used to defeat him because nothing else was working. Not even me and my buddy doing the double shieldbro + scarlet rot could get his ass down.

I agreed with most of these, but I thought Metyr was lame af, super easy, and not a very interesting moveset. Versus I think Radahn has become one of my favorite FromSoft bosses ever.

Putrescent Knight is fun, idk what you talking about. Especially as the combo just needs you to dodge forward. Timing ain't tough either

Skibidi avatar 💀

Never will understand how people enjoy the Rellana fight. Dont get me wrong, I dont want to insult people who do enjoy it, and I like the spectacle, but it really is everything I hated about Pontiff in DS3 without the funny parry gimmick. Were she a one-parry stagger like Pontiff, then I think I would have had a lot more fun with the fight, since there would be a more effective counter to her absurd aggression.

Putresent knight was just boring to me. Like what were they thinking with an 11 attack combo like that.

Where is the Ancient Dragon Senessax? Jsjsjs

balanced list i can mostly agree with (。-`ω-)b

He was way yo kind to gaius on that ranking

Feel like you’re giving some of them too much leeway. Radahn and bayle should have got more shit. Putrescent knight’s combo is easy af to dodge and you get an actual punish window after. I agree he runs way too much though.

Rellana's attack chains are difficult for certain builds? Every build can roll, this sounds like a skill issue

Glad to know there are more people ranking Radahn lower than expected because while the boss is difficult, it was not fun to fight. Messmer, Midra and Bayle are much better.

RELANNA S

Nah this whole list is just him tryna rage bait except messmer

Did he just put a boss in a bad tier just because of their well telegraphed perfectly dodgeble ... attack combos .... isn't it a difficulty ranking... in what base is he ranking them ..... ?

Putting boss fights at lower rankings because of player skill
