People do say say it’s a hard boss fight because they do it solo. Because of their capacities to close gaps faster than the fun you get fighting the godskin duo disappears, they cover each other very well and you can only get damage consistently when they are separate. That’s why having one summon in this fight is infinitely better here than on any other boss fight because each person can go to one side of the arena and get some 1v1 action

Darklurker is a single enemy that just can split itself into two enemies similar to Pontiff Sulivan. The Abyss Watchers at least involves two enemies at the start with it being possible to attract agro of both by accident.

@@getsueinaito No, the first and second Abyss Watchers are aggressive only to you; the third is aggressive to everybody.

Truly an amazing fight, but still not worth the bullshit you need to go through. No boss could ever be worth that.

And a tankyness test, both for your moral and Havel’s set

@titesyl1023 no thanks with havel you're bound to lose I remain with my gold hemmed set and am able to dodge swings instead of forcing my hp to deplete by being fat😅 I mean there's no necessity for tankiness if you do the dos part right anyway 2-3 kings should be standard

This happened to me last night, both charged me down with halberds and I died because it caught me off guard

Both attacking with their halbert is really rare because of how gang fights are handled in Ds1, bot both using fire breath isn’t rare at all. Most people end up with the two of them with fire breath for at least 1-2 minutes in this fight

@@titesyl1023 I dindn't see that much but thanks for correcting

You went in a hero’s grave. You are searching to be fucked in some ways, either by the boss or by the chariots

Yeah but thats the only issue in the demon prince fight, i mean seriously if that was fixed it would be my favorite fight in the entire game.

I don't think that's true. I remember seeing the other two not moving until I killed the first.

It might be DS2 weirdness. It could be just proximity based. From my experience though, they are active at pretty much all times, and do join you on the upper ledge. But the game can do weird things sometimes.

Also, to my knowledge it shares the same theme as Smelter Demon and Blue Smelter Demon, which I'm not a huge fan of because it makes no sense for the Ruin Sentinels to have the exact same theme. Not a bad track by any means, but there are much better ones in the game

Deacons of the deep is arguably the best boss fight in gaming history, definitely the best soulsborne boss. Absolutely nothing comes close to the enemy design, the actual gameplay during the fight is extremely fun and my GOD that soundtrack is amazing. I genuinely found the rest of dark souls 3 really boring because nothing came close to being as good as that fight

@@AbeHopwood very unique take. I respect it even if I completely disagree personally. I do like the atmosphere of the fight a lot though.

They are really 3 to 5 shields viable in Ds1 : bucket shield for parry, crest shield either as a normal shield + stamina regen boost (which is why it’s probably the most used shield in the game, especially when the stamina regen still works when you have it on your back), the sanctus for the health regen even if you don’t have the stats for it, the bleed shield to counter than one curved sword from the dlc or for a Lifehunter scythe, and Havel’s shield for great shields because why would you use an other great shield than this one ?

I believe so

It’s not made by fromsoft

Not a gank?

@@porpoise8160 ye lol i forgot to type that 🤣

Havel’s set + pray for enough dps + get in their faces This is the four kings fight in a nutshell

Solaire after he finds his « sun » do be the saddest ever, especially if you didn’t know you could save him with 30 humanities

@@titesyl1023 it's not really a npc boss fight tho, for example halflight is a npc boss fight

I think because that's more of a boss that can split into two (like Walker of Illusions from Lies of P), but it's still technically a single boss

Yeah, maybe tune in to my Worst List on Tuesday

@@BillySYTOoooh can't wait!

I'm thinking it's probably going to be the god-aweful duo.

Headless app duo isn't _that_ bad, as long as you have firecrackers it's at least kind of manageable. Wouldn't be surprised to see it somewhere on the list though.

@@drifter2928 the problem with it is that every ape operates on its own there isn't any form coordination between them this makes it really annoying

@@ahmedisam2533 I get that, they're definitely not a good fight, but there's way more annoying gank bosses in Soulsborne that don't have any clear counters

Oh yeah, one of the worst fights in the series is the godskin duo. They can't even be outsmarted by bringing in powerful spirit ashes or moghs spear. When I beat them I sighed in relief

Sleep pots users be like

Should be #1 tbh

Good Gank, but forgettable even in it's own game.

That's your opinion :)

@@BillySYT that boss fight is just badly designed, Ornstein is straight up the jankiest and glitchiest enemy in the game, he can shoot projectiles and stab you through smough and his dash is indefensible In phase 2 it gets even worse since he gets upscaled and his hitboxes/animations become unbearable Smough on the other hand is a perfectly fine asylum demon reskin

????

@@evelinetheoofdemon6003 Like I said. It's an amazing fight when you learn it and fight them properly: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ir-dhLKEnrWyk3k.html

@@evelinetheoofdemon6003 Like I said. It's really fun when you actually learn it and fight them properly: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ir-dhLKEnrWyk3k.html

I disagree with you but a personal opinion on something in a video game doesn’t make you wrong, you are entitled to your own thoughts, but I would like to hear why, it’s always nice to see different points of view on things you like

I think Dark Souls slow movement kinda ruined them for me tbh, I came after beating Bloodborne and Elden Ring which prob made my whole experience w/Dark Souls much worse tbh but ya these two kinda just felt unfair when I was playing

I don't hate them, but I never understood why people love them so much. It is just kind of an averege fight imo.

Well basically. The fight is unfair. Everyone knows how ass ornstein's charge attack is, so I won't talk about that. I find it really stupid that they can attack your through the pillars and through EACHOTHER, so I'm trying to get a hit on smough and all of a sudden, BAM! Ornstein did his jump slam attack and I'm dead. People say ornstein is the fast one and smough is the slow one, but it honestly feels like smough is almost, if not just as fast as ornstein at times. I think smoughs charging attack is just really weird to dodge, because sometimes I dodge right, but if I do the exact same thing later he hits me. I also think the fight could have been balanced better. Instead of both of them being fast and doing insane amounts of damage, make ornstein fast and do less damage than smough, so that getting hit by attacks that are harder to dodge are less punishing. The AI is also possibly the worst in the entire game. It feels like the 2 bosses were just put in a room and are completely unaware of eachother's existence. I have seen countless times how ornstein gets pushed around by smough doing his charging attack while he's in front of him. And I have already mentioned ornstein just attacking you through smough. I always kill smough first because it's easier for me, and big ornstein just loses his single Braincell and will repeatedly do the backwards jump attack while he's against a wall

I’m with you, I have never enjoyed the fight. Always felt like you’re forced to hug and exploit the base of the pillars to have a chance to pick one of them off. Always felt really time consuming and a snail-like pace of battle. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I truly believe a lot of people “love” this fight because other people on the internet say it is popular to.

Pontiff? Last I checked he’s not a gank fight which if your counting his shadow in his second phase I’d say that’s a big reach

@@DmonicHollow Its a 2v1, pretty sure thats what constitutes a gank. If he included twin princes in the ranking, which technically isn't even a gank fight, then I can include pontiff

That’s why I always take my best weapon for them : Solaire

Dude I get you like it but that's just disrespectful

I still think they are the number 2 best gang fight tho

And the shadow definitely deserves number three I love that fight it my 7 fav fight in blood born

O & S is trash with many glitches, Ornstein cancels his animations, Smough has cancer hitboxes and there are lingering hitboxes during transition, you can just die in second phase from attack executed in first phase. Seems like you are very casual player and don't really know much about these games, if you think that Shadows of Yharnam is bad Boss.

Nobody other than Billy ever called those nazgul cosplayers a good boss so idk what you're smoking, kid @@suchar7175

no, on like every metric no.

Only when they’re on the same level of quality. The only one I think is at the level of from sorts games is lies of p. Other than that I don’t think any of the others should be on these lists

Absolutely not as none should be compared to the ones that made the souls-like genre in the first place, it would defeat the point of lists like these

@@RecoveringPocketGamer I disagree. The difference in quality between Lies of P’s boss fights and Dark Souls 2’s is staggering.

@@RecoveringPocketGamer "including Souls-Likes to a Top Ten Souls-Likes defeats the purpose"... The idea of including completely separate games into a list about a specific franchise (or chain of franchises I guess) is stupid, but that comment is little better.
