I would say the list is accurate except it misses a couple huge bosses: Mohg and Malenia. Mohg in his Lord of Blood phase has some absolutely bullshit magic attacks that drove me insane. But the biggest injustice here is neglecting the true hardest boss of the game: Malenia. The Internet struggled immensely with the whole game, but then found out about Malenia and were thrown into chaos. The first phase has some of the most difficult sword maneuvers to dodge, and even if you manage to beat phase one, Malenia’s like a DBZ character taking off the weighted cape or some shit and suddenly they’re god. This chick goes through some cocoon bullshit and now she’s got giant wings and a desire for murder. As you’re lamenting that there’s a phase 2, she dive bombs into you like a scarlet rot nuke and you’re rage breaking your controller over your knee because now 9 hours of work has been undone by one shitty flower.

[@mattkase8880]

You forgot to mention that Malenia ALSO has self heal even on block for every hit

[@AsianCole]

malenia isnt as difficult compared to the black blade lion man imo (although I cheesed tf out of her). I got her to half in her 2nd phase on my 2nd and 3rd tries and got annoyed bc she kept spamming that dumb ash of war. I proceeded to use a summon and spam the fuck out of rivers of blood and did it first try. I think it depends on your current setup a ton bc I was doing really well chipping away hp with nagakiba light attacks and bloodhounds step on my first few attempts. I feel like she would be a pain in the ass for sorcerers and big weapon chads

[@Fadegalaxy-mv4mp]

@@seanwesley2034 I feel for you man, it’s a rough fight, I found her the easiest on my 4th playthrough with an arcane build and you can spam her with swarm of flies for second phase when she’s in the flower attack, it makes the second phase pretty trivial if you can bait that move two times in a row.. hope that helps.

[@ricardodarcangelo2437]

For Mohg, I didn't find him that tough. But that's helped by 2 things: 1) I spent almost 2 hours on the other Mohg, severely underlevelled and without an actual "build". And 2) I luckily found the tear that helps with him early, and I knew to use it in his fight from reading it. (Though I forgot to apply it the first time lol). So when I got to him, I only really had to worry about the phase 2 moveset, cuz I had the other stuff down from the other Mohg. And with the tear to stop the attack(??), that starts phase 2, from being an issue; he only took about 12 attempts solo. Malenia though....

[@TheSLATEcleaner]

My hardest boss for my first completion after Malenia, no joke, was the Death Bird next to Raya Lucaria. I died an embarrassing number of times to the frostfire damage from the massive AoE, with the added frustration of having to rest and move forward to night between each attempt. Finally learned you're supposed to move behind the Death Bird for the big explosion.

Malenia the Rot Goddess is one of the hardest bosses in all of souls in my opinion. She causes scarlet rot, heals off dmg and does a skill that’s near impossible to completely dodge unless your far away from her and that’s just her first phase. Her second phase is almost the same but can summon these rot phantoms that reach across the map whilst she’s in the air and is hard to dodge.

[@Sir_Obliviousness]

@Prospect I still found her harder than the other demigods tbh and you aren’t joking about helping people with her. It’s always a gamble the first flurry she targets them with like are they gonna make it? Or am I going to have to sit through a load screen? If they can survive the flurry the chances of beating her increase by so much at least until phase 2.

@Prospect I went in with a lot of stamina so I just gave up trying and failing to dodge and let her regen on my shield. Only FromSoftware would give a boss a 'vampire' effect that triggers even when they don't hurt you.

Malenia took me hours, no other boss even took me near of half the time i needed for her, the eldian beast for example is really easy i think, the only thing which made it hard, was his spam homing attack halfway through in my opinion... when i survived it, i had my kill.... and those 2 back to back took my like 1/8 the time of Malenia?

[@tiaisirradiated]

I have never disagreed more with a take than "Maliketh is the hardest boss in elden ring" I beat him in around 4 tries, he dies in like 10 swings of my sword because his hp is way too low, his attacks are extremely easy to dodge. I wouldn't even rank him in the top 10. Elden Ring was my first ever From Software game and I wasn't overlevelled for my fight with him. Cut to fighting Malenia and it took me maybe 70-80 tries using every possible thing I could to help the fight go in my favour.

Tip for the elden beast: give your mimic tear the erdtree heal and it will never die

[@tiaisirradiated]

Tip for Elden Beast (and every other boss in the game): Don't use Mimic Tear, use the Black Knife Tiche. Tiche is by far the most op spirit ash in the game. It is improbable that any build you make for the Mimic Tear after the nerf to damage will do any better than the Tiche.

[@shine8704]

@@tiaisirradiated My reasoning for using the mimic tear for the elden beast is because he can use erdtree heal. I made him tank all the damage while i deal damage. Works way better than black knife tiche

[@tiaisirradiated]

It simply does not work better than the black knife tiche considering the tiche does a black flame attack which does 20% of it's hp per hit. If you actually play well then the beast will be dead way before the tiche could die and in a much more timely fashion than using a low damage mimic tear, giving more chance for the player to die due to a longer fight.

Radahn was really easy for me since I ran a bleed build. Beat him around lvl 70 but hardstuck on many bosses before him 😭

There is a trick to the invisible black knight by the way, it works on every other invisible enemy too... there is a torch in the game that reveals invisible/cloaked enemies, it's sold by a merchant if I recall correctly

[@ninjaspambot]

Sentry's torch from the merchant shack in the plateau. for sale for 7k.

[@DoubleJumpGaming]

Had to like this cause I’m a mage build and not being able to see an enemy would fuck me cause half my attacks need lock on

[@Kitsunary]

As much as I have been enjoying this game, a lot of the later boss fights make me want to fight Ornstein and Smough again. Having only one specific opening to either heal or attack every major fight gets really tiring for someone who prefers 2-hand melee builds.

[@SomethingScotty]

Yeah Elden Ring in its current iteration really was not designed with colossal weapons in mind. Bosses are all programed to heal punish hard, and most are so fast a lot of your slow ass swings whiff. Plus they made it to where you can't roll into a boss fight powerstancing 2 colossal weapons and just hit a boss for half their health anymore. I tested a 2h strength build with a +10 Ruined Greatsword(S scaling in Strength) at min requirements for two-handing, and again at 99 strength and it still did the same amount of damage to the bosses health bar so I honestly think they cap it so you can't go pure strength and one shot things.

[@robertwilliams5665]

That’s why bleed weapons are the current meta.

[@JotteXD]

You say This But almost every boss can be staggered by strength weapons for a guaranteed at least 2-3 hits

[@SomethingScotty]

@@JotteXD Yeah, you can stagger her easily EXCEPT for when she jumps into the air to do the rapid dash attack. Unless you deal like 2500 damage in one hit, you can't stagger her out of that attack.

[@JotteXD]

@@SomethingScotty Im Well aware :p Only way i know to Actually dodge that attack is using a spirit summon to facetank it

Wasn’t sure if you’d tackle this one given how many damn bosses there are even ignoring the remixed versions, but glad you did as your unique style of commentary is always entertaining. Looking forward to watching through this later today after I finish the game.

Awesome vid. You missed a couple, sir. In my opinion, Melania is the hardest boss in the history of souls games. Mohg was extremely difficult also. Go fight them and make another update video 👍

She is staggerable, which makes her ok, but the fact that she heals on every single hit makes her a quite unique boss. I couldn't beat her before lvl 117, with a lvl 10 mimic tear

man this video gave me a ton of nostalgia. I remember when your bloodborne boss ranking first came out - loved your "stream of consciousness" series too - glad to see your still putting out content

[@DeltaModelX]

in elden ring, for the first half of the game, many things that don't look dangerous are more of a threat than the things that do

[@SomethingScotty]

You missed 2 bosses that I know of. The Lord of Blood and Melania. You need a special tear for your physicks flask to not get absolutely shit on by the Lord of Blood and his "I'll take 60% of your health and heal myself, thanks" move he does 3 times in a row. Melania is such a broken, unfair boss fight I honestly don't think they even bothered playtesting her. I tried fighting her countless times over the last 4 days and I simply can't do it. When every one of her moves deals like 90% of your health regardless of what your HP is(I tried many builds with hp ranging from 650 to 3k and the same moves did the same damage regardless, making hp useless), her run-ending move where she jumps into the air and then divebombs you for a series of 3 rapid 360 degree attacks and if you move away from her she teleports on top of you before each flurry and you can't stagger her out of it, paired with the fact that she heals every time she lands a blow, whether you blocked it or ate it makes the fight complete and utter bullshit. And that's just the first phase. Second phase she goes all "paint me like one of your french girls" and then blooms out of a beautifully tilting flower that spreads rot everywhere and will just immediately one shot you if you're near it when it blooms. She has a move where if she hits you with it, it kills you. If she misses it, a rot geyser appears under your feet and if you don't notice it immediately it kills you. Then she occasionally decides to just hang out in the air and cast rot-infected shadowclone jutsus at you that also almost always insta-kill you if you get hit by even just one of them and you're not fully topped off and she sends 3 or 4 of them out at you each one doing a different attack. Sometimes she'll just divebomb and thrust her sword into the ground at you and do a small AoE rot explosion, other times she does the 3 flurry dash attack with extended range, enhanced with rot, is even harder to read because it's coming from the air now and(she dashes to where you are, but doesn't go down before doing it) the fact that the tell for that move looks exactly like the tell for the slam down rot explosion one makes this boss total fucking bullshit and an imbalanced nightmare. That's not even talking about the random lunging thrusts that'll definitely one shot you if you get hit in either phase, or the roundhouse kicks that leave you completely stamina drained and exposed for a grab that'll one shot you if you're not 100% hp. Oh and to even unlock the area she's in you gotta do a stupid town puzzle that has you climbing onto rooftops to light braziers while invisible assassins roam the streets and archers are on the rooftops that do nothing but aim for your head like they're an elite U.S. Military Sniper and you're wearing a turban. They already fire 3 magic arrows each at you so you can't 100% block the damage, did they really need their shots to track to your head as well?

[@Tylor1ace]

Malania is really hard but if you use a mimic summon and just take turns hitting her you can stun lock her for the 1st phase, also on second phase any ranged weapon you have will Pierce her flower and she stays there for like a solid ten seconds so easy damage

[@comicmuffin4265]

Staying at mid range once she’s 70% ish hp and baiting the whirlwind attack is a good strat. To dodge it you run from the first flurry then roll forward twice into her then immediately backwards twice and you wont get hit. I found that that attack is consistently baitable and punishable. Then the second phase with her phantom swordsman rolling to the right at each swipe works better than rolling side to side or forward/backwards. She took me 8 hours to beat and i can no hit her first phase now 😂😰definitely forces you to be perfect considering she heals and can oneshot you at any hp. Hope this helps!
