My man thats a lot of awesome work you just did. Great video!

I honestly was shocked looking at your followers. You deserve a lot more. I can only imagine how much work you put into this video. Keep going!!

Dude this video is so well made. You deserve at least 100 000 followers!

I'm at the point where I really don't care about people's opinions on "the good bosses" as they're all the same. "This boss has good attacks that are fun to dodge." These games have never had insanely deep combat so that's basically all you can say about them.

Jesus alter, was für ein Masterpiece Video - absolut genial, well done!

gr8 list m8 Personally my S+ would look like Malenia Maliketh Gael Isshin Godfrey Morgott Mohg Orphan Radagon Inner Owl Ludwig Friede Nameless King Radahn Artorias And yeah this is pretty much ranked. WHile I don't think bosses are the strongest aspect of Elden Ring, it certainly has the highest number of my favorite ones. Malenia atm is my favorite boss and the only ones that come close are Maliketh, Gael, Dante/Vergil and Fatalis.

This video was sick, loved every second of your analysis and humour. Do you think you'd ever consider talking about areas or questlines?

Finally some Dancer love lmao. My favourite Soulsborne fight. Loved the video and you gained a subscriber!

Earned a sub man this video is peak content. But isshin the sword saint at B+ is crazy

One of the most in depth review videos I’ve ever seen on anything, deserves way more attention that it’s received, I didn’t watch the full thing, HOWEVER I did watch DS1-3 and sekiro/elden ring, I haven’t play demon souls or blood borne (Xbox) so I didn’t care much to see how you reviewed them, overall ‘amazing’ video

W video man. I was watching this while I was on a large drive. You have a nice voice and you’re talking about games I love. Def dropping a sub

Solid A+ editing and layout of the video m8 Jeff got the swaws

A great video jeff cant wait to see more

You are the first german that has mastered humour. Love the accent, love the video, loved the interesting takes you had!! More long form from soft content would be a blessing from you!

Great video, you definitely deserve more subs

This was a very well made video, you can certainly tell a lot of effort was put into it. I agree with most of the rankings especially with Melania being a great boss once you have mastered her. However, the one thing I do find strange is that Morgott is placed below Margit, when I personally see Morgott as a direct upgrade in terms of move set and the pace of the fight. He might honestly be my favourite Elden Ring boss when you fight him at the right level. Also, I will be very interested to hear your thoughts on the Elden Ring expansion bosses when the DLC comes out

subbing entirely for that fact that you really made a 4 hour video as someone with 250 subs, jesus.

I guarantee he saw that Artorias and Sif were in S tier together and was like, "Thats really heartwarming". Owner and his loyal companion.

less than 400 subs is insane. great job

Wow, only 6 comments so far. With the length and production value, i wouldnt have imagined this to be such a small channel. Im only halfway through, but i wanted to comment for the Algorithm :P

Wow I never noticed that the flamelurker got brighter depending on his HP and I played the OG demon souls BRO I had NO idea about that item mechanic thing for the leechmonger. This video is great and I'm 16 minutes in I'd have false king allant higher but I agree with your overall point. Demons souls highlight is the atmosphere and boss runs not necessarily the bosses

Amazing video

I gotta say the mimic tear gag set up was great

I agree with a lot of your list, Malenia might probably be my best boss in all of the Soulsborne series, absolutely amazing boss, chad S+++ for her. For me it's Malenia, Mohg Lord of Blood, Ludwig, Radahn & Gehrman, best 5 bosses in the series.

57:07 this is where i left, i'm going out for groceries and i'll be back in an hour maybe

This video was legit so good

rly good video...!

When it comes to Isshin, I think he is a great boss that is challenging but also possible to beat very quick with minimum death especially if you explore Sekiro (beat almost every mini bosses and conqeuer Ashina Style) which makes him very well designed. Also about the grass, I never had any trouble with that. This is the first time, I heard someone has issue with it. Cool and unique opinion. Isshin movements are telegraphed very clear to me especially since his spear attacks are not that fast, makes sense since it's a heavy weapon especially handled with just one arm. Also I'm not trying to hate ur opinion but I don't see how he is a rehash ? Because he has ashina style attack, spear and lightning ? If so, I find that to be unfair criticism. Just because he has something that a certain boss and spear mini bosses have doesn't make him a rehash. After all he is the sword saint who taught Ashina style. I think it's a nice touch that Genichiro minions has similarities to Isshin. Makes a lot of sense that Genichiro and his boys learned it from him except the lightning which came from Tomoe. Saying Owl is another repeat is also kinda unfair. You literally go back to the past and met him. Ofc, he will be similar except he is stronger with some twist to his moveset. The way you criticise makes it sounds that repeat boss is bad even though it can be good when done right. Genichiro is a good example. Baldur from God of War is a good example as well. You even said Morgott is good. Anyway nice video and it's cool to see a different refreshing take on ER bosses. I don't think they are as bad as some people said. Also about Placidusax, he is a crippled dragon. Him being static and not moving too much, relying on magic instead of physical attacks like Midir makes sense. I think he is a refreshing take on dragon but I can see why you don't really like it.

I unironically think Micolash is a solid boss. It's definitely bad, but I love the concept of chasing him through a labyrinth. And then gain the ability to insta-kill you is hilarious, because you have to do that whole game of tag over again. Makes for great content watching other people rage out. Perfect characterization of some annoying troll character like Micolash. I just wish they added a bit more depth to his boss fight. Like maybe during phase two, have him project clones of himself onto the puppets to run away and act as decoys. Maybe change the layout of the map to be more strategic. Definitely give him more attacks.

I cant believe Owl is ranked E- underneath Champions GraveTender. Awazing video

W list!

Dragon = 4 legs 2 wings. Wyvern = 2 legs 2 wings.

the route you did in DS2 is awesome

Broooo such a good quality video. But i gata know who is the guy streaming at 3:23 on the dracon tree sentinel who says the boss a stupid horse man and that he is the real man??!! Lmao that was so funny i want to find out who that is and i cant find him so far

A a small-time creator myself, I could not help dropping in to toss you a nice comment of encouragement and a few kind words. I could not care less about souls likes, but I cannot help but be taken aback by the sheer *girth* of the video, almost clocking it at 4 hours! The sheer force of will and labor put into it must be monumental! However, If I am to give you one small advice, it is to definitely add "Fromsoft" or some other indicator in the name that will let others know what exactly you are speaking about. I'd advise not letting people assume your intentions from your thumbnail and just give them blatant info in the title. God speed and good luck bud. May your hard work bear fruit most pleasant.

I can't say I agree with most of your critiques about SS Ishin. In my opinion, he is THE best boss From has ever created, not just in terms of gameplay but in terms of theming, arena, finality, etc. I can't really see how you figure that he's a rehash of a bunch of previous bosses, because the vast majority of his moves are completely unique with unique rhythms, and the arts he performs like Ichimonji, Ashina Cross, and Dragon Flash are almost entirely unique mechanics that the player will never have seen an enemy use before; which is one thing that makes the fight so cool - you finally see the guy that created the moves that you've been using use them against YOU. You also mention that coming back to the same arena you originally fought Genichiro in at the game's start also feels like rehashing, but I think you're missing the point of it - which is the cyclical nature of returning and ending the game where you started it. A lot of Sekiro's overall theming is about cycles of rebirth and overtones of Buddhism, and ending the game in the susuki grass field that you started in is one of the most concrete examples of that. Also, this might just be personal, but I had no issues with the susuki grass obscuring his movements. If they did, it's also quite easy to drag him into the muddy roaded areas of the arena and fight out of the grass. Lastly, I halfway agree with you that Isshin can be an easy-ish fight for some players (I died for about 3 hours to him, more than Demon of Hatred,) but I'd like to point out that his last phase is not his hardest, it's by far his easiest. Lightning moves are basically a free win for the player, as any halfway experienced player at that point can reliably deflect lightning to deal massive health and poise damage to Genichiro/Isshin, in addition to stunlocking them for several seconds. Third phase SS Isshin is literally just the second phase but with more lightning cheese for the player to exploit. Honestly, if I could redesign SS Isshin I would remove the lightning entirely as I feel it makes him too easy, and in fact many mod creators who have overhauled the fight have done exactly that. The one thing I absolutely agree with you about is that his first and second phases feel quite disconnected gameplay-wise. I wish that his second phase included more moves from his first phase, as only a few carry over from phase one to phase two. I'm aware I've typed out an entire essay about this, but I want to close by saying overall, you did a great job with this list and it clearly took a lot of time, effort, and gameplay. Amazing video.

I was overjoyed to see that you chose the correct ending in Elden Ring!!! Same as me xD

Everybody gangsta till sister friede gets up

Tower knight sealed my love of Souls games.

Out of curiosity what are you going to school for? Great video also i usually dont like super long videos but i love souls games and you were entertaining to listen to

Gael is S++ can't argue with that, it's the most perfect boss that fromsoftware ever created.

Least comitted Souls Enjoyer Seriously mad respect for just putting out a 3 hour video for just feeling like it. 😊

I think the problem with sanctuary guardian is that is animations are kinda janky. Maybe that’s because of the increase in speed in the dlc, or maybe it was a boss that had under developed animations.

my notes: Moonlit Butterfly: When I first played the butterfly killed me more than any other boss in the game and I legitimately mentally think of it as the hardest enemy in the game. I know this isn't the case, but due to using early 60FPS patches for Prepare to Die, his damage ticks were such that he could instantly vaporize you if he hit, so it was like, a tense, deadly hell fight. The only way to survive a hit was with the stone knight shield, so I had to like, two hand it due to my strength before swapping to a short bow to pepper, then to melee. As hilarious as it is, it's my experience. Fight has great atmosphere and music at least. Ornstein and Smough: This is controversial. I didn't get the big deal either. Neither phase was hard and neither end version felt difficult. it took me a couple tries and frankly I was bad at the game. Being that I was playing mostly blind, I was dumbstruck why people later thought they were like a pinnacle of the game. Going back to it, they're fun, but not particularly difficult or notable. Sanctuary Guardian: I think the problem with the sanctuary Guardian is exactly what you listed as positives. He has this fast, relentless attack that'd feel more in place as a lategame dark souls 2 boss, (assuming you have adaptability) due to the general faster movement and reaction. He feels completely out of place in DS1 where very deliberate movements are how the game is designed. ((Also he's annoying because he is almost immune to magic damage and can be a complete stonewall to a magic user but that's an aside)) On top of that, he's just kind of boring. He has no real feel beyond 'jumps at you, attacks a lot. BIG AOE..! Leaps at you across hte map if you try to have spacing, repeat.' Ds1 is fundamentally about spacing, and that's why he's so...not enjoyable? He feels like an average boss from some crap shovelware hack and slash from 2005 except in DS you're not supposed to take his attacks 40 times during the fight and rely on healing/level/whatever. DS2 in general: Honestly the thing about DS2 is the bosses are not the attraction, and a lot get more interesting/more interesting combats/attacks/totally changed gameworld in NG+. It's hard to judge it cos bosses are definitely not the focus of DS2. Often they're just checkpoints between the harder part, the levels. Which is I think why I prefer SOTFS a lot. It makes the world feel more intense and alive. But I'm in the 'it's my favorite' a lot of that is its PVP community was so heads and above over the others with expansive and strange covenants, weird arenas and a huge amount of equipment and magic options. The boss 'runs' are often the boss more than the boss, it's a very different game that I think ran highly contrary to expectations of the community. I mean, it was the only game in which you had pvp regularly seeing just about every weapon class, every magic class, every RANGED weapon class and the majority of infusions all show up regularly in its pvp community and that's why it was so much fun. Playing DS2 without multiplayer is definitely the biggest let down of all of them, as while DS1's pvp/pve was...uh. Sometimes great and sometimes a forest shotgun. And DS3's was 'wow lets just not be invadable during certain periods because of a wall of dark fist ganks', DS2 was 'holy shit it's a guy with a dark-blast crossbow vs. A Sorceror vs. a UGS vs. a Tower shield shortsword??' it was unique and kind of amazing for that.

bro i came to this channel by going through like 4 previous channels lmao

I feel called out for already having a block of cheese when I clicked on this video

Honestly this list slaps! You had such a weird encounter with ebrietas i dont think i could ever hope to replicate that lol. I do think though malenia is a unique and super cool designed boss but you really cant dismiss the fact of artificial difficulty. Realistically I and everyone else here probably died to the waterfell 80% of the time on that boss, not to mention the healing. Which heavily reduces the boss from what could be an easy s to a high B for me. The boss has so many cool other moves and traits but in the back of your mind fighting her your always waiting for that one move. Sadly reduces the rest of her and i wish you mentioned it more after putting in 18 hrs lol. It always begs the question how much better or actually hard would this boss be if she didn’t have those artificial difficulty implants lol. I might be able to have fun and notice more of the other moves. Also you made me start another bloodborne run youre so right that theres a lot going on behind the scenes other than the bosses.

this guy Actually called Isshin's fight "easy". yeah, surely didn't take me an entire day to finally get through his second phase.

wait im so confused is the original name not mirror knight? Ive heard mirror knight so much seeing the boss name as looking glass knight just looks wrong

Amazing how similar our journeys are. I also prefer Mouse and Keyboard, also melee without summons and shield and also emulated Demon Souls old version.

Until watching I had no idea you could defeat the bell witches in The One Reborn fight. Even with them around and shooting shit at you it's still piss easy.

I understand why gwyn was able to be parried for lore reasons but mannnnn was I hope he was some super OP boss. Atleast he isn't a pushover like king allant

Wow y man grades hard, I disagree with many, but this is a good video.

100% agreed with the dancer. My fav out of all Souls bosses.

I appreciate the time and effort you took to make this video but you're clearly a mechanics guy and im a lore guy. So when you break down the bosses to what they are bare bones its kinda rough. At times, it seems like you bring some lore into the bosses and im like, "hey, maybe he doesnt hate these games." I also think its unfortunate that you weren't able to play these games in order. The demon souls section hurt me lmao that was the first game i played in the series. I just want to say im not bashing the vid. Its your opinion and this is mine, no shade

Congrats on finishing a project like this. I like the personal commentary although it can come off as “superiority” at times. And obviously like all big ranking videos it shows when knowledge of a certain boss is lacking. What I mean to say is that I appreciate this video. And Elden Beast is one hell of an interesting boss. ER has to be the game that has changed the most with patches. Like broken hitbox Radahn turning into T-Rex hands Radahn. And Elden Beast WAS a contender for worst/most evil boss in the entire for me… until he got patched. At release it was a literal homing missile that I only avoided a few times 0 damage do to sheer luck and weird strats (aside from obvious tactics like preparing a stagger-cancel). Now back in June I believe he got patched. You need to stand in front of him and run to his back once he finished casting. Because the Stars got nerfed, they are forced to go bellow and will now chase you slower than your player character. However if you’re a coward and run away the missile will go full speed towards you… but since it also got nerfed in that regard too you should be able to avoid extra damage once it reaches the ground. So while old Elden Beast was a literal “fair design” destroyer. New Beast is very fun and consistent to no damage. Even when he does 3 proyectiles at the same time. So I’m very happy to see someone giving him some love. Crazy how this series is full of bosses that the community considers very hard. Yet on inspection they are also the most fair. While it is the “mid-bosses” that have super fast attacks which force a “positioning game” when aiming for consistent perfection.

Elden Beast at A+ is a HOT take

Awesome job, very impressed, your work on the video was excellent and i admire it. Highly disagree with a lot of it though. So much so i cant even begin to start talking about it because ill leave a really long comment. Mainly i think you have sekrio all wrong

hidden gem channel

Keep working on your audio & video quality in general, and you'll get A LOT more subscribers Take care :)

I don't think I have seen a boss ranking with which I've disagreed more.

Makes a sin graph joke, with tangent

Sinh is so underrated istg.

3:03:37 It's lore! There's no stakes of Marika in the Academy because Renalla was dumped, gentlemen (Radagon) prefers blondes!

The reason for No stakes of Marika in rennala boss is beacause she hated marika.

The mouth It opens AND THEN IT OPENS AGAIN

Calling ISSHIN of all bosses easy is certainly a take

Cleric Beast -> Easy. I died to that shit like 25 times x_x during first playthrough. My gripes with Waterfowl Dance is not that it is hard to handle. I don't like that the margin for error is near zero, but okay, optional superboss is a superboss. My biggest issue is that it actually doesn't give you any hints in how to handle it. It doesn't teach you shit. My only ways dealing with it was trying different stuff till I found something that promised success if I'd be able to get the right timings into muscle memory. Many, many tries and I still was confused because I saw nothing, no hint, no clue on what the game was expecting me to do (better). Of course, phase 1 Waterfoul could mostly be counterd by getting into a small distance. But that doesn't help anymore when you are point blank sometimes in phase 2. Yeah, you can redirect her first volley if going around her feet correctly. I've never done it, only watched some videos of better players doing it. And every time it looks like that works coincidentally, not because the devs intended to. Okay, I have to admit, I only fought this boss two times. And after beating her the first time, she kinda grew on me so that I worship the experience in fighting her (for three days straight). But I really don't like the intent behind Waterfoul Dance and hope that future content or titles strafe away from trial and error movesets once more. So, yes, I was triggered :D. But nontheless: Really great video! I love your humour!

Finally, someone who recognizes Sister Friede is the best boss in DS3

Honestly my only gripe with Malenia is that the heal is too big. I'm fine with how it works.

No chalice bosses for Bloodborne?

People tend to attribute high difficulty to bad game design

Every single good boss is a dual, no gimmick bosses. Because it's reactions, not actually having to put some thought into them. I appreciate both, but when every boss has a second phase and is based around rolling, it can become boring. Elden Ring gets it done in it's boss roster, but I disagree with most people in Dark Souls 1 and 2 as well as Demon's Souls. For example, Phalanx is easy af, but if you don't use a fire spell, fire bombs, a fire buffed sword, or even fire arrows he can be quite tricky. That is good design, especialky if it's optional. But that one isn't. Everyone thinks that there has to be some "core" to Souls games, and that is rolling. Do you see what happens when everyone play the game the same way with rolling? It can get boring. An example of a good boss who is not exclusive to all builds and has the gimmick nature of previous Souls bosses is Malenia with Waterfowl, you can use a frost/bleed weapon and hit her out, there's like 12 other ways, but I have ranted for too long. But I am tired of the majority of bosses revolve around one specific playstyle based around reaction timing and no thought put into stuff like the arena or specific weaknesses of the bosses that you have to think about. Vicar Amelia another good example because of the healing mechanic.The bosses people also praise are based on lore and the soundtrack as well. But if the gimmick was part of the lore, it's all the better. It's so frustrating because it keeps you guessing, even if something is bad. It's creative and the player must think about what they want to do. So now we have bullcrap delays and lack of openings in much of Elden Ring's bosses because people want every boss to be specifically designed around rolling.

S+ gargs? thats some good shit you are smoking

with full respect this has to be one of the worst lists I have ever seen in my life I disagree with most of it but it is still ur opinion and I respect that.

I know this is your list and I respect that, but how could you actually not know who Nashandra is when you literally had to speak with her at Drangleic Castle and she was mentioned throughout the narrative? I'm not even trying to defend her fight, but since you mentioned you felt DS2's story didn't compare to DS1's for you, it makes the viewer wonder if you really paid any attention at all when Nashandra is literally presented as the main villain, especially throughout the entire second half of the game. Just a critique. It felt questionable when it became a source of criticism for you toward her endgame fight.

Under 1k subs how the hell is this allowed after a video like this

ceasless discheese higher than mytha 😂

bro loves pain

add music like mejula or somthing but good video with opinions i disagree overall

can't believe you didn't talk about the hardest boss in sekiro🤷🏼‍♂️

Comments for the algorithm god to get jeff yo trending like he deserves.

2:11:50 Opeth! ❤

The only good part about the Godskin duo is the ost

Now rank all Hollow Knight bosses.

bro rated the ghost version or RKL d-

Can't take this guy seriously when he unironically claims souls games are easier played on freakin mouse and keyboard. Also, of course you can't appreciate a boss if you are overleveled. For example Vicar Amelia is very difficult if you are within the level range for that particular fight. They way you melt its health bar is just an indication that you were simply overleveled for that fight.

Couldn’t disagree more with many of these picks.

Great video and yes dancers extremely underrated. Best boss in the base game of dark souls 3 easily.

I'm glad to see Gwen Lord of Cinder get the respect he rightly deserves! Gwen is the best ending to a Fromsoft game IMO thanks to the overall experience of DS1 and the message that he represents. The eventual decay of the dying world. That is more impactful than any epic ending boss fight.

You'd describe Sword Saint as one of the easiest bosses in the late game???

For me variant gargoyles is pretty well duo boss design. Both of them actually being a threat and their gank is pretty well though out, everytime the second gargoyle gank you he make lot of sound and make the ground crumbling like an earthquake, for me the second gargoyle attack is pretty much the first gargoyle combo like a fighting game where you change turn between character and the second gargoyle only gank when the first gargoyle does a certain attack that also have indication of second gargoyle will be ganking you by the fact that the second gargoyle will make lot of sound like spinning his weapon or changing his weapon. The poison also being a real threat this time, last time demon prince poison attack i don't even know what it does bc i can't be hit by it unless i try to.

Ah btw you do know Elden Ring actually has... 165 boss encounters right? The list should be quite a bit bigger than this. If people going to include the trash mob squad boss fight in other series, they need to do the same with Elden Ring too. I'm a bit tired people exclude all the bad boss encounter in Elden Ring so often and includes every optional bad encounters in other series to compete in the ranking. It just seems unfair to me.

How are you "normal" when most people play on controller?

Honestly this list seems entirely random to me. It’s a long video so maybe you said screw it and just threw em in but if I feel like your goofing with us here lol

Haha. Finally someone, who uses German pronunciacion of Ornstein. Not the usual orns-teen.

Blöb

Its kinda staggered how many horrible bosses are in Fromsoft games hahaha
