Guys help, I've been stuck at character creation for 5 hours

The real hardest boss in the game is taking two Boreal Brutes at the same time in the snow depths

Blade Bearer and Cannoneer are 100% made to be fought at least 2 on 2, they even routinely swap their aggro between you and your partner so you can't easily isolate each of them.

"He doesn't teleport unlike phase 1" ...you were just lucky

The true boss is the Cathedral of Sacred Blood, I got lost and couldn’t finish it 100% without a guide because I’m blind and stupid

Canon hot boy and Frozen Elsa: "Prepare for trouble..." . Canon hot boy and Frozen Elsa in the map dungeon: *"And make it double!"*

Cannoneer: Take my Waifu, I'll take your laifu Blade Bearer: Touch my Husbando, here comes wombo-combo

Btw blade bearer and cannoneer have a separate and more difficult version in the depths and when one dies the other gets harder… a LOT harder.

Dude was stuck at fire and ice duo for two hours while playing solo. Then there's me, having a teammate and being stuck for 4 hours...

Top 2 reasons I'm most excited for elden ring: 2-I wanna play it. 1-I want this man to rank them bosses.

“If you get the timing right to dodge at the ass you get a good window to plow it” deMod. Are you okay

“Next is the successor of the ribcage” “he” “him” Aurora who is not a dude: am I a joke to you?

My top 5 hardest code vein bosses: 1. Two Boreal Brutes from the depths 2. Butterfly of Delirium 3. Boreal Brute 4. Boreal Brute 5. Boreal Brute

Coming soon: *Code vein waifus ranked from trash to best girl*

Just bought this on offer... the deluxe edition for £18.99 on steam. It’s probably one of my best purchases. Actually loving it and I’m surprised how good this game is. Played all the souls games so I can see a lot of the stuff they have built off from souls but it still keeps it fresh with the flashy moves and anime boobas

Even with the A.I, the Ice and Fire duo was hard. So I needed to get outside help. I think the other different bosses differ depending on weapon, bloodcode, and bloodveil. Some bosses you found hard, I found easy and vise versa like the Successor of the Throat. I would have ranked her higher based on my own build. But that is just me.

"The Blade Bearer & Cannoneer might be the hardest boss I faced in any souls-like" Then, 'The Depths' versions of this boss, where one of them gets buffed once you beat the other, came

Just looking at the Blade Bearer and the Cannoneer again gave me PTSD

One year later and I've just realized he called him Judo Mizo and not Juzo Mido

Blade Bearer and Cannoneer are no doubt the hardest souls-like boss I’ve ever faced, even after Elden Ring. During my experiences in this game, no other boss gave me so much pain other than the duo but despite the 30+ hours trying to pull out and managing a single flawless victory, I couldn’t help but appreciate how they compliment each other in a sense that they are probably the reverse of each other (One is a really fast melee-focused attacker and the other is a slow range-focused support). This is also the only boss that made me cry out happy tears after I finally managed to overcome the insanity. But wait…there’s the depths version. Fighting the depths version made me realize how useful the pillars were on blocking most Cannoneer’s attacks since only two of them bypass walls (the eruption and the flame rain). And also the fact that if one of them dies, the other gets a buff OnS style. I’m still trying to get a Lvl 1 flawless victory on that one up until this day and every one of those attempts is the embodiment of having to face some of my worst nightmares. Even if I really had a hard time against Malenia, a boss that forces the player to beat her flawlessly, I actually died to Crypt Spire Blade Bearer and Cannoneer around 10 hours longer than when I died to Malenia and I wouldn’t want to imagine how much of an extra time I have to spent on their depths version, the absolute terror that I’ve heard people speaking horror stories about and that they are actually a reality.

Mad respect to take the Cannoner and Blade Bearer solo..... without any ressistance buffs.. thats madness for sure !

A new souls like: exists Demodcracy: that's free real estate

Blade Bearer and Cannoneer are literally so much harder than everything else that it felt like I accidentally set a hidden difficulty setting to maximum. They were so unbelievably infuriating that I dropped the game for a full fucking year and forgot about it until I happened to notice it in my library. Its obviously harder to fight solo but even with a partner its nothing short of pure controller smashing bullshit. The bosses change targets seemingly at random, sometimes literally mid combo. Cannoneer can be on the opposite end of the map with your partner just fuckin laying into him with every skill they have and he will just ignore it and target you with his infinite range attacks that spawn directly beneath you, that usually explode right as you're coming out of a roll dodge away from Blade Bearer. Mid combo against Cannoneer? Bearer will put sonic to shame and sprint across the arena so fucking fast that you've respawned at the mistle before you even realized that she just wombo combo'd you. Not to mention both of them hit like overloaded trucks if the trucks were packed with military grade explosives, set on fire, and then pushed down a very tall hill with you directly in its path. EVERY hit takes at least 2 or 3 heals to recover from, if you even get the time to heal, and if you dare slink back far enough to try the two of them will wipe out your partner in the span of two god damn nanoseconds leaving you completely helpless to even bother putting up a fight. After fighting this boss I was left in utter disbelief that somehow Cuphead and Sekiro were engulfed in pathetic controversies from journalists too stupid to learn how to play the game, but this actually near impossible battle that Hercules himself would have to beat as one of his 12 labors if he existed today, did not. Nioh 1 and 2, The Surge 1 and 2, Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Lords of the fallen, none of these games have produced a boss that in my opinion rivals the challenge Cannoneer and Blade Bearer pose. In terms of action rpg's, maybe even across all genres, it might be THE hardest boss I've ever faced.

The Blade Bearer and Cannoneer were annoying even with a partner because the other boss will something randomly decide to de-aggro from your partner and start attacking you (usually off-screen or behind. It's real annoying to dodge an ice attack only to be hit with a fireball from behind that you weren't even expecting to have to worry about dodging.

Pornstein and Smoulder get even crazier in their depths version.

10:25 DeModcracy: "dodge at the right moment to the ass and you get a good window to plow it"

I'm still gonna rank that freaking butterfly much higher, stupid thing had me drowning in poison for literally way too long.

Huge respect! This video is a deserved tribute to one of the best and most underrated souls--like game outhere.

**Enters the Cannoneer & Blade bearer arena** Time for the next boss fight, wait. this seems. familiar. . . Cannoneer: "come on and slam" Oh no. Oh *GODS* no. . . Blade bearer: "and welcome to the jam"

There's nothing quite like seeing a top ranking video with the absolute certainty you know exactly who's going the top 1 and seeing you're right.

I know I'm extremely late to finding this video, but seeing this game get the respect it deserves and some of the other videos I've watched from you that are amazing, you've earned yourself a sub.

I love how you use Dark Souls music that kinda matches the boss you’re fighting. Excellent touch.

“Gilded Hunter 2nd phase is like Yamcha turning super saiyan god” Accurate

when Aurora (The Ribcage) was being called "he" the whole time.

I had the Invading Executioner as my 2nd EVER souls-like boss. took me like 6 months for me to finish her off after doubling back and defeating 2 bosses that were far easier by comparison (those being the butterfly of delirium and the insatiable despot)

I already knew which boss was gonna be number 1, that fight literally took me a couple days to beat because I would become fueled with rage

Bruh Skull king was insane, definitely the boss with the smallest windows for healing if you don't consider when he is stunned.

"Hello, William from Nioh." "Hello, Sekiro from Sekiro." "Hello, Revenant from Code Vein." "." "." "." *_"W E E B S O U L S"_*

After facing BB&C and Judo Mizo tonight on my first playthrough, they earned their spots. That was mentally exhausting!

The depths version of blade bearer and cannoneer is even more insane to solo, you have no pillars to hide behind to block some of cannoneer’s fireballs, it’s an open field and if you kill blade bearer first, cannoneer gets buffed and is now able to use ice attacks. I managed to solo it twice, not doing it ever again and I don’t even wanna know what happens if I kill the cannoneer first.

“Our Wolf boss is too much of a knock off” “Give him four more legs”

The moment you realize he was taking on bosses WITHOUT Queenslayer code. It has a code restricted gift that give you INSANE damage increase, dodge buff, AND a full heal. Only down side is in several minutes you will die if you don't win. But with some of the post Queen's Knight if you don't win in 5 minutes you probably die anyways.

Executioner took me like 50 times, even with a partner. The struggle was real. Glad to see she was higher on the list

Maybe it was because at the end of the game something in me finally clicked, but the Skull King was pretty easy to fight for me. But I have to give you props for having the balls to fight Blade Bearer and Canoneer alone. I'm fairly new to souls like titles so I didn't even try that solo. I had partner with me, but even then the bosses are made to swap their aggro at certain intervals so if you get too comfortable fighting one, the other will jump in to fuck your day up faster than you can blink.

The duo has a harder version in the final map void district that is just straight up the hardest boss I've ever fought

ridge of frozen souls, the rollie boi.. killed me more than any boss.

The butterfly was actually the only boss I didn’t die in on first go

The hardest boss is... The friggin' auto-narrowed camera when ya being smash against the wall

Is anyone going to tell him about the even tougher version of blade bearer and cannoneer found in the depths where they pull the full ornstein and smough to the point where if one dies the other absorbs the dead’s ones strength giving them new moves and negating their elemental weakness

The rib cage boss is a woman. Just saying.

For some reason I had literally no trouble with the Successor of the Breath, Jozo Mido, and Gilded Hunter. I dunno why but I had very little problem with them.

I’ve been done with the game for a while, but this video and the comments made me realize how much of an easier time I would have had if I had utilized the elements more. (I prioritized light weight and 1 broadsword ) might just have to watch a guide and replay!

10:55 After the phantom thieves disbanded, Ann had trouble readjusting to society

1: That Stripper. I mean let's be honest, it's probably better than going to an actual strip club.

“Successor of the Throat” is making me imagine very NSFW things

Zweihander User: "And that one is easy. Oh that one was easy too. Ah i forgot about them. Super easy. And this one was easy and so was the next one. And the depths? Super easy. Oh and this was easy..."

10:55 i didnt know Hatsune Miku is a boss in Code:Vein

> Lightning spears They're literally judgement thorns. Small versions of the big ones that make up 40% of the entire environment throughout the game

I like how he put music matching the most similar Souls boss fights for each boss.

BB and Cannoneer were my favorite bosses in the game despite their extreme difficulty so I absolutely understand why they're at the top. Their track is also one of my favorites from the entire game.

Mido and Skull King were my two favourites plus the motivation of "I WANT that sword." helped a lot when it came to beating them.

the real hardest boss is the feelings and how they are broken throughout this game

Quick tip for the Argent Wolf Berserker, you can get behind him and then Backstab, which gives you a window of time to either heal or deal damage.

Man, I loved that game. The aesthetics, the character creator, the mechanics. Such a gem.

Honestly, pole dancing syrin was the firat boss that actually sped up and essentially said; your tutorial fights are over, time to die. I honestly think she was harder than most other bosses in the game (by difficulty on a new playthrough for a new player. Her mobility and damage against a squishy, quick mobility, no cast speed dark mage made her daah a near oneshot. For a melee i do have to say she is a bit easier

THE VOID VERSION OF THE DUO IS WORSE, DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED.

You know, if I heard correctly, they nerfed Cannoneer and Blade Bearer. It used to literally be like Ornstein and Smough where if you killed one, the other would get buffed back to full hp with new attacks and both elements. Go to the Void Depths. One of them has it

Funny thing about the Blade Bearer and Cannoneer, I saw a demo wherein I believe they were fought at the Despot's area, and they DID have the O&S gimmick. So when I beat them in the story, I was surprised that *didn't* happen, probably due to being back-to-back with Mido. I got a pleasant surprise in the Depths. And I do mean pleasant, because it's my favorite fight in the base game.

For anyone who ask where's Ice Ornstein & Fire Smough second phase just... wait.. you'll see

Damn u I didn’t want anything spoiled but I couldn’t help it lol

I feel like anyone Who played as a girl had the one complaint of not being able to make their characters boobs as big as Io’s

I almost went crazy fighting Blade & Cannoneer for the first time. Half the time I was fighting one of them the other would just yeet me off-screen.

Queen's Knight and his Reborn vresion got me probably the most memorable gameplay moment in the entire game. When I first faced him in memory level, I managed to wittle him down to approx. 25-35% of his hp, when he finished off Jack. I was *still* somehow getting hang of the game, and this was the moment I knew I had to go perfectly, as I didn't had any healing left. I did it. And when I found his Reborn version in the outskirts, I knew shit is about to get real. And once again, I wittled him down to 25-35%, and then he slashes off my partner. That was just extremely fitting considering the story, and the fact that I once again managed to finish him off was extremely uplifting.

Me after playing blade bearer and canoneer: “Damn this was pretty hard” Fighting them in the depths: “JAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAHAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAAJA....”

Bandai Namco: so... what would make a good boss? Game designer: animals with books

My only gripe with Virgin Born is how you are pretty much shoe horned into going melee only with the insane resistance the boss has to basically everything

Hardest boss in the game: Character creation

My top 10. 10: Successor of the Throat. Leak is such a pain... 9: Argent Wolf Berzerker. Not so much the fight as the journey to the boss room, just complete bs. 8: Skull King. Hits hard but predictable. 7: Queen Reborn or whatever, just a pain in the a** to damage, and the camera just goes nuts if you're locked on, it's the Nameless King in first phase all over again. 6: Pole-dancer. That Slow Debuff is so damn annoying. Was the first boss that gave me real trouble, even with Hermes bloodcode to cure and block the slow. 5: Butterfly of Delirium. Seriously, f**k Poison. 4: Halberd Knight dude. He's combos and second phase are just a sneak peak at what Mido and the Skull King do, but he's faster, and like the Pontiff or Bladedancer from DS3, just doens't stop... 3: Juzo Mido. F**k Inhibit... 2: Boob-stein and Fire-boi. It took me til NG+ to realize I should've actually used the consumables to buff against fire and ice, as well as gifts, made it easier for sure. And I love the depths version with the nice nod to the Ornstein and Smough second phase. And finally. 1: Super Ice Yeti's. There you are strolling along the snow capped mountainside and there you see one, hunched over looking menacing and hungry, and you think, "so what it's a tougher version of the rest of these Yetis" oh how wrong you are...and then as you approach and the fight begins, you all too quickly realize what a horrible mistake you've made, but it's too late, but wait, it gets worse, in your desperate attempts to fight for your life this monsters Focus Gauge has maxed out, and now he dawns impenitrable armor and proceeds to turn you into confetti... But then one google search later you learn their ridiculously weak to fire and just swap to an all fire build and roast them...still though, F**K those Yeti's.

I just beat this game, and I was surprised that the butterfly was higher up on your list as I got bored in the fight and found it extremely easy.

24:25 EXACTLY, my heart was shaking when I'm so close beating path of Pain on hollow knight and it took me 2 hours from start to finish

For the argent wolf berserker, the first time I got to him I just kept on back stabbing him every time he got up and won it without getting hit. I was really confused if he was a real boss

not going to talk about the 2 sonic the hedgehog wannabes in one of the ice dungeons?

The Knight reborn in the depths last phase was the craziest thing I've ever experienced

Its crazy cause the last one requires you to not only remember both of their movements but also be ready to just get double teamed out of nowhere

I was probably dying more because I healed Louis *right after* he healed me.

Successor of the Ribcage: has the body of a female, is inhabited by a female, voice of a female Narrator: uses he/his pronouns

I'm still so proud of myself that I was able to beat the Gilded Hunter in 4 tries.

I don't even feel bad about my struggle against the butterfly of delirium now

On Oliver Collins: ''He tries to pancake you in vain, thanks to his agility that makes a snail look like a cocaine fueled jaguar.'' On that note, good sir, you earned a sub lol

Argent Wolf Berserker: Absolute unit Me: Chain backstab until death

Completely agree with Blade Bearer and Cannoneer being at the top spot. Every other boss was what I expected to run into coming from Bloodborne and most were push overs but damn, when I reached that point in the game when getting every ending I had to psych myself up and pray I'm able to get the Blade Bearer out of the fight fast.

If only he ranked the 3 DLC bosses in this, those 3 don't play by the rules, the rules play by them 💀

The fact that you beat this game solo is impressive. Kudos to you sir! I struggled with Cannoneer and Blade Bearer even with a partner.

The real #1 boss - two Boreal Brutes in the Depths (the rolling yetis with a skill to gain an ice shield)

I'm only halfway through my first playthrough atm but this is what I've got: Easiest: Successor of the ribcage: I caught on to the magic attacks very quickly and realized that while she has a lot of ranged attacks, she doesn't do much in melee range and it's ridiculously easy to punish her. The AoE teleport and boss fight 2: electric boogaloo caught me off guard, but both were easy enough to deal with. Only boss I didn't die on. Argent Wolf Berserker: This continued my trend of accidentally waking into boss rooms while exploring in a *very* unpleasant way. Quite literally screamed when I realized that a) this is a boss oh shit oh fuck, and b) the arena is TINY. However, I realized you can evade all except for 1-2 of his attacks if you're behind him, and you can backstab him. This turned into me hiding behind him and beating the shit out of his back. Successor of the Breath: I found this fight to be quite easy as his attacks were very rhythmic and easy to dodge. He's easy to hit from behind, and most of his attacks you can dodge twice backwards and be fine. Like I said, his attacks felt rhythmic, even during the second phase. The wind up for his attacks was very readable, and I picked up on his combos very quickly, making it easy to get into a rhythm of dodging and attacking, with the occasional heal. Hardest: Butterfly of Delirium: First off, I need to mention that I have 0 sense of depth perception, this fucked me hard in the second phase, also because she hovers. The poison was a new mechanic to me as well, and I died way too many times to it. Again, due to my lack of depth perception + hover, I could not tell where she was, if I was in range to attack, if she was in range to attack me, etc. Overall, she a bitch. The motherfucking, thrice damned, speedy ass, slow bitch, Invading Executioner: My lack of depth perception partially fucked me here, but that wasn't the main bit of it. Her attacks are surprisingly difficult to dodge, and half the time she can still hit me even when I think I'm safe. Second phase was a BITCH. Fucking spin to win was hell to deal with, though I finally started getting the hang of it on day 3 of trying to beat her when I realized if you get her to one end of the arena, then stand on the other side, it won't hit you. Then came her slides. Oh God her slides. I learned fairly quickly that you can easily dodge them if you dodge into her as she starts it, but it's the fact that it has such a short windup, that it's damn near impossible to tell when she's going to do more than one, the fact that she can impale you when you're 2 inches away with no time to dodge, and that it does a metric fuck ton of damage that makes it hell. I got lucky beating her with a venom build, and even then if she even sneezed in my direction I would have died. I've heard she's even harder in NG+ and I DO NOT look forward to that. 10/10 though, she's hot as fuck, and she killed me a couple of times by stepping on me. Those were happy deaths.

I went to fight the attendant with Io, I couldnt tell who was who lol

the developers have seen your booty smacking strategy thus a boss with an invincible booty

Top 0 Code Vein boss rank: The feel

Anyone else hear the twin princes theme during the queens knight reborn?

Fun fact: You *can* solo Oliver. After meeting Louis, accept his help, then go to the nearest Mistle. Select no partners, and despite Louis showing up in the cutscene, you fight Oliver alone. Also, the Argent Wolf Berserker has a major weakness. It's the only boss susceptible to parries and back Drain attacks. This means that you can essentially stun-lock them by hitting them from behind.
