[@Toutong_]

+Tazzy Boo How do we differentiate a Wyvern from Dragon?

[@guyrandom8989]

Minetoutong Wyverns have two legs and two wings. They use their wings as 2 other legs and walk with them. A dragon has 4 legs, like a cat, dog, horse etc and 2 wings. This means Wyverns have less mobility on ground due to them having to rely on their wings to move but more mobility in the air since there are 2 less legs go weigh them down. Hope this helped.

[@yaboi2500]

Itchbot200 Champion still isn’t even that hard. Any boss that can be parried to death cannot ever be considered a hard boss.

[@aresgodofwar0422]

read my comment again pls :)

[@jahrfuhlnehm]

Champion Gundyr so low, seriously? That boss is a toss-up between Nameless King and him for hardest in the game for me. Fucker hits like a truck and is unrelenting in his second phase. Every time I dodge around an attack to hit him he immediately either shoulder bashes or kicks me to the ground. Plus his charge attack, leap attacks where he can jump like all the way across the arena to pin you to the ground, that attack he does where he swoops you in the air with his halberd (which btw has insane reach) then _punts_ you backward mid-air... and it's one of the few bosses that actually gets harder with each new NG cycle. He took an especially huge spike in difficulty in NG+3. Even a greatshield doesn't help much, although you won't get knocked to the ground most of his attacks have huge pushback if he hits you while blocking and it's just a huge stamina drain even with a high-stability shield. Nameless King I probably died to the greatest number of times in NG to levels of near rage-quitting but after a while you learn the moves of the first phase easily and the second phase... well it's certainly _doable_ at the very least. After my NG victory fighting him up to NG+3 (the furthest I've gotten and plan on ending on for the time being until at least the first DLC comes out) he remained a challenging fight but I never felt like I was up against overwhelming odds like I did the first time I fought him and his bird drake. Then suddenly that feeling came back when I went up against The Champ in NG+3. Christ almighty. So after NG+3 and also playing through the game with two separate characters in regular NG my rankings from hardest to easiest: *taking a heavy beating with a lead pipe in the head to the point I enter a comatose state* 1. Champion Gundyr 2. The Nameless King *several punches in the gut* 3. Soul of Cinder 4. The Twin Princes 5. Dancer of the Boreal Valley *being shoved so hard I fall flat on the ground* 6. Dragonslayer Armour 7. Aldrich, Devourer of Gods 8. Abyss Watchers *slapped in the face* 9. Old Demon King (weird RNG with this one - sometimes I can just stand underneath him and pummel away and not get hit, other times he'll obliterate me with his giant hammer or multiple fiery AoEs) 10. Pontiff Sulyvahn (not a boss I have much trouble with like other people do, still, probably my favorite boss in the game regardless) 11. Oceiros, the Consumed King *being spat on* 12. Crystal Sage (his twin in Grand Archives is a real annoying assbag I must say) 13. Curse-rotted Greatwood 14. High Lord Wolnir 15. Iudex Gundyr (actually the only boss in this category I think is any good) 16. Vordt of the Boreal Valley *being called a poopy-head, butt-face and other similarly very mean names* 17. Deacons of the Deep 18. Yhorm the Giant 19. Ancient Wyvern (why is this even a boss?)

[@jahrfuhlnehm]

Darth Vaper He's not goddamn Dragonrider. He can actually still hit you if you dodge in a different direction, whether with his kick or shoulder bash which has knockback, Or charging at you, or just hitting you with his halberd where you're standing. I would parry, but this isn't Gwyn, and this isn't Dark Souls 1, so parry timing is not as reliable/predictable with this guy when he goes nutso in his second phase - I'd rather try to survive than try to show off for absolutely nobody (too bad you can't parry while being air juggled or else I'd try it; maybe you can show me the ways of git gud with parrying that, Master MLG420noscope-senpai).

+RealFolkTV lol I figured someone would say that but it's the only boss I beat on my first try in my first playthrough.

Great list Albino! I agree with most of your boss placements and it is was very entertaining but I do have a couple of nitpicks.

Also, with ocerios, I will admit he's very annoying and boring but using a even moderate shield completely renders his charge useless and makes him pathetically easy, even though imo he is regardless.

My personal list would be: 19: Ancient Wyvern 18: Deacons of the deep 17: Iudex Gundyr 16: Vordt of the boreal valley 15: Yhorm the giant 14: Old demon king 13: Oceiros the consumed king 12: Curse rotted greatwood 11: Crystal Sage 10: Dragonslayer Armour 9: High Lord Wolnir 8: Champion Gundyr 7: Abyss Watchers 6: Aldritch, devourer of gods 5: Lorian Elder prince and Lothric Younger prince 4: Soul of Cinder 3: Dancer of the boreal valley 2: Pontiff Sulyvahn 1: King of storm/Nameless King

[@Flugs0]

Agree with #1 and 2

[@evokerhero]

+CoNoRmAcC this is what I love about dark souls. difficulty of the game is based mostly on each person's build and playstyle. the way different people play is very varied in this game from what i've seen

[@conormacc2750]

+Reflex Corruptzzz Exactly. I nearly fell out of my seat when this guy said Ocieros was his hardest boss, but then I realised that mabye it's just his playstyle that made that boss such a pain for him. I can see him being annoying if you fight him shieldless since I just blocked whenever he did his charge.

[@steampunkastronaut7081]

I really don't understand why you put Wolnir as 9th. He is almost no challenge at all.

[@doomdozer1914]

@@steampunkastronaut7081 Depending on dps and Wolnir rng, the boss is either stupid easy or a pain in the ass. Also that damn fog

[@wantadog1]

Just finished my first blind playthrough of the game and must say I agree with most of the list. Had no idea what I was doing for most of Oceiros' fight.

[@Kizur13]

The bosses you rank hardest by far have the best jokes accompanying them.

[@jenrais]

I'm surprised you put champion Gundyr so low. Was at least top 5 for me

[@KaelusKRS]

I completely agree but I would switch #19 with the dancer of the boreal valley.

[@chuggaa100]

Dancer is definitely not the hardest.

[@KaelusKRS]

Honestly almost all the bosses in dark souls 3 are pretty easy.

[@animeleek]

+Kurtx771 true man . for m all th bosses were easy exept the dancer . hell even i defeated the final boss with only a shield on the second try ...bloodborne was much harder every boss took me a week

[@aleksinuutila2315]

+looks-like-kristoff I killed dancer on the first try with two estus, but I dont agree with this game being easier than bb. I died about 40 times to aldhric, 30 times to twin princes, and the storm king seems hard. In bb I killed every boss within 5 deaths, and last three bosses were so easy I beated them all in one try.

[@dregonskreper7609]

I like this guy's videos because of his humor and the fact his boss rankings are pretty inconsistent with most other KZbinrs but he does give good reasons for em (outside of putting Rom as the hardest boss in Bloodborne, you can easily do that boss with taking no damage if you have the patience).

[@That1OneKobold2]

You know Aldritch is a man right. That's Gwyndolin from Dark Souls 1.

[@manicdogma2240]

Wait wait wait...you consider the Champ easy but get destroyed by Oceiros? What?

[@SoulFoxie]

Unless this comment you put is a joke you don't understand the fact that everyone is different and no one is the exact same,not even identical twins are the exact same in every aspect

[@kasperimanninen]

champion gundyr is much harder than crystal sage, curse-rotted greatwood or the old demonking

[@tequilafeline6552]

Yeah i wonder how many people didnt go into the oceiros fight knowing fully well they couldve absorbed 100% of his charging attacks with a shield

[@kipler1694]

That Oceiros rant was priceless.

[@stefanie_blueberry1350]

My List would be: 5. The Twins I don't like Bosses with can hit you with a sword and cast spells at the same time. And the Healing Spell for Lorian was a dumas idea^^ 4. Sulyvahn Two Words: Like Darklurker. Sure, Darklurker had more spells and such tricks, but Sulyvahn was similar to it with his shadow. 3. Soul of Cinder Very creative weapon shifting and new patterns. And the fuckin hard combo attack in Gwyn-Form... I liked the endfight! 2. Aldrich Spells, Home Masses, Fire und Melee Attacks. Wonderful! But I hate him, because he ate the coolest boss in DS1... 1. The Nameless King Damn Sick Badass! I hate him so much. He is so powerful, his dragon is painful as hell and at the same time he is the coolest looking dude. And don't forget his awesome Fly to the boss arena :)

[@aresgodofwar0422]

You mad? Twins, Aldrich and nameless are piss easy

[@tamzeedbari6309]

@@aresgodofwar0422 I am quite sure that SL1 would like to have a word with you.

[@aresgodofwar0422]

i have done a few sl1 runs and ociros is hardest by far. with aldrich you just stay next to him and he just trys to shank you. the twins are easy if you dont lock on and fight them a certain way. nameless is hard but he is way overrated.

[@tolman4497]

I found the knights outside Oceiros’s room harder than him. No really. Really.

[@MikhailPashkovski]

Watch Lobos SL1 run of DS 3, where he was raped by Oceiros, and you will realise, why he is a problem. His instant charge is just the worst thing ever. Also, Gwyn was frustrating? Gwyn was overwhelming? My friend is bad at Dark Souls, and even he killed Gwyn in 30 seconds first try.

[@jamesmcdude2239]

I know what you mean with ocirous in my first playthrough I got reked like 25 times then on my next play through. I had a bleed build and procided to commit war crimes on him and like 80% of the bosses

[@brevincooper8001]

Oceiros is really just an rng boss for me, I'll have times where he won't stop charging across the arena, and then the next fight he just lets me kill him so I know where you're coming from

[@danny-du1mc]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU PUT OCEIROS IN FRONT OF NAMELESS KING AND WHY IS NO ONE IN THE COMMENTS COMPLAINING ABOUT IT

[@lukahnapeirogon8197]

Its his opinion

[@ronnywatkins5084]

+icecubeinferno Its weird tho. Like this dude is a veteran. And he cant beat Ocerios? I mean im average at best, and I always run a dex/str melee build similar to Sunburn. And I beat him on my 2nd try. The strategy is to literally just stay under him. It's the same shit with Vordt, Dark Beast Paarl, and any other boss like them. Cant believe Sunburned finds him so hard.

[@brettpierce5225]

fking champion gundyr below tree and kistall ... wtf just wtf

[@SMACKYOURB1TCHUP]

Oceirous is weak to lightning lol

[@Monster12537]

I agree with Oceiros being the top of the list tbh. He is the only one of the 19 I had a problem with because of his weird ass hitboxes. I swing around a Heavy +10 Zweihander and while it does admirable damage with 40 strength (which is what I had when I fought him) not being able to hit the bastard made it entirely irrelevant. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@neptwo9563]

it's crazy how different people struggle with very different bosses, for me in the base game abyss watchers and pontiff sulyvahn were the only bosses who took me longer than an hour to beat, I beat basically every other boss in less than 5 attempts soul of cinder absolutely kicked my ass in NG+ though. took me about 4 attempts my first time and then took between 10-20 in NG+1. top 3 bosses here have always been really easy though, I have yet to die to oceiros a single time and both NK and twin princes took 5 attempts my first time and ever since I've been killling them in no more than 3

[@TheMostProfoundQuiet]

The Oceiros rant had me fucking CRYINGGGG

[@Penzig]

Osiris, second phase: Just a get a little distance between the two of you. Bait the frantic charge attack, dodge it, and follow after him for some but punishment. But don't over commit. When his attack craze is over, you wanna be creating some distance again. Kinda like Vordt. If your playstyle is ALWAYSGONNAHUGYOURASS, yeah then I kinda agree. It's a mosh pit of what seems like random moves and flings, sometimes hitting you and sometimes not. But like all things in life, move a bit away, and this will fall into perspective :) (Just my advice for that boss which I find to be "meh", if you want it, and otherwise - thanks for a good boss ranking video :))

[@Just_Joel777]

did you try staying close to oceiros and chasing after him when he tramples?

[@dirtyconsole2247]

Dude I wholeheartedly agree with Oceiros over Nameless King. Same reason, Nameless was learnable, Oceiros was a chaotic ass crack.

[@SkysXFile]

I like watching these. Everyone has different opinions on who the hardest boss was for them, and it's very interesting to see people have trouble with bosses I thought were easier, and take down bosses I died repeatedly on. Example: I almost quit over Aldrich, but he's in the middle of this list. Oceiros only took me a couple tries, but you hate him (I feel the same way about Aldrich and Martyr Logarius as you do about Oceiros and Rom).
