[@JoseViktor4099]

My favorites ER miniboss are the ones Who are in Horses mainly because the story behind It. See, FromSoft wanted to implement this kind of enemies since DS3, being a more dificult enemy than usual due to their high speed, in that moment they weren't able to program It as It was dificult to make one NPC stand over another. They tried to do that in Sekiro but rather on another way, as a same NPC , meaning that enemy wouldn't be able to be separated from his Horse. Of course, im talking about the first main Boss fight of the game, Gyobu. It wasn't until their open world game that they decided rather a stupid yet so simple and efficient solution; attach points. Some NPC would had attach points in order that other NPCs would be glued over them. That means that some enemies, could be able to ride enemies such as those pesky flying insects. Anyhow, you can see that some bosses on horseback used the same system as Gyobu (Erdtree Sentinels) and which bosses actually used the newer systems( Night Calvary). Some people may be in denial, but FromSoftware always wanted to implement new systems into their games, and the idea of some scrapped concepts that can come back later with more experience is something I love about game development.

[@COHOFSohamSengupta]

Mounted enemies go farther back than DS3. BB has a cut knight on a horse, and in DS2 concept art you also have an unused knight/horse. If you wanna get technical the twin princes are a mounted enemy but they don’t separate past phase 2 lol

[@JoseViktor4099]

@@waltersullivan2727 Of, interesting! I Heard about that but I wasn't sure if It was real. Seems that mounted enemies, on a similar fashion as the open world and wandering enemies, were things planned much earlier when they didn't have the resources/experience for doing so.

I've seen many videos on the same topics as yours but hearing your love for what you're talking about is always a pleasure to watch. Also I could never figure out where the channel name comes from, if anything. Mr CANDLE Type 1a may i ask, what is a CANDLE Type 1a?

[@candletype1a447]

Thanks man, glad you like my stuff! As for my channel name, it's a pretty obscure reference to some lyrics from the song, "Interstellar Boredom" by the German metal band, Alkaloid. The song's about making a Dyson Sphere and I just thought Candle Type 1a sounded like the coolest term when I heard the vocalist say it.

[@KingOfMalevolence]

The reason the 7 ashina spears boss is so hard is that he's the first spear enemy in the game that doesn't get destroyed by mikiri counters, he makes it hard to perform one because of the delays and even if you manage to do it he doesn't give you an opening right after.

[@pastherolink7181]

I feel very validated, fucking hate those titanite demons

[@alchemy5750]

I have to say my fav DS1 minibosses are the big sludge monsters in New Londo. They're one of a kind, look horrifying when you first see them, have a very unique set of abilities, match perfectly to their environment and their freakiness adds an extra tension when you fight them, especially since they're always surrounded by lesser enemies.

[@Ahrimane]

The Heide Knights near the dragon will attack you even if you haven’t killed the Dragonrider, but the ones further away are still passive. I played through this level recently.

Totally agree with the seven spears of ashina, I legit thought I would never beat him hahah. Took me almost a week to beat him (embarrassing I know) but after fighting him, much like you I loved the fight. Hands down the best souls miniboss imho, really made you get good. Also definitely agree on the headless, especially the underwater one in the fountainhead palace. You fight two for gods sake and you can't use confetti underwater, what a miserable experience.

[@fang4223]

Grafted Scion: they have a few attacks you can punish somewhat reliably. Run in after their scream with a jumping light, the forth swing in their basic swipe combo is easy enough to score a parry on. when they do that stomping attack with all their blades that wraps up with a leap and slam, respond with your own jumping heavy. When they take the duelist stance, run their right side. to be clear, you will be going to the left side of the screen, and you can reliably dodge either of the attacks they come out with and punish with a few swings of your own. Still not terribly fun to fight. You never feel in control regardless of your combat style unless your able to nuke the damn things before they get close. and they get close gaps very fast, it feels, in part because you never have much space to work with when fighting these things. The one in Lenuria is something of an exception, but by the time the illusion disguise wears off, it's already on it's way to kick your shit in, and doesn't even have any rewards on it or nearby to make it worth the effort.

[@fang4223]

all that being said, the damn lobsters, I hate those FAR more. Not much reason to fight them, but if they agro, they can easily snipe you for an unreasonable level of damage before you get out of range. if your on torrent, it'll dismount you too just to rub salt in the wound, leaving you forced to wait for the tarnished to get back up. Don't blame torrent for it though. I'd be startled too if I got a surprise enema power-wash.

It looked like you were about to name Havel as worst DS1 miniboss and I already had my hate comment drafted when you said "titanite demon". Good fake out, got me

[@enomisv9830]

I couldn't agree more with your pick for the worst Dark Souls 1 miniboss. I have played DS1 base game and DLC to completion multiple times and DS2 SOTFS base game to completion, and the only enemy in DS1 with Shitboxes as bad as anything in DS2 are the titanite demons. I can perfectly time a dodge to avoid the swing, but if the pole touches me at any point after he's already attacked, I take massive counter damage even though he isn't attacking and I've stopped rolling. Sometimes, it won't even look like it hit me, and I'll take damage. I've been killed by the jumping attack because the tail touched me when I dodged forward to end up behind them, or they'll wind up for a hit, and I take damage from the wind up.

[@lukerichards69]

I also CAN’T STAND how their tail can do chip damage to you when you’re busy dodging their like 120 degree fucking polearm swings. Just everything about them is infuriating.

[@carlschrappen9712]

I strongly disagree with Grafted Scion being a bad mini-boss, let alone the worst one in Elden Ring. I'm bad at fighting them as well, despite the 1000+ hours I have in Elden Ring, but that doesn't mean they're bad enemies. I've always enjoyed the difficult, complex moveset they possess, and all the little ways you can create openings by strafing certain attacks and attacking in between the gaps in their combos.

[@drfabulous2804]

While I definitely agree with Bloodborne’s abhorrent beast, you seemed to forget about the beast possessed soul that appears at the bottom of the pit area near the cathedral. Such a random encounter but a menacing enemy that only otherwise appears as a Chalice boss

[@candletype1a447]

I do think the Beast-possessed Soul is a brilliant enemy but for some reason I seemed to remember that it respawned there if you came back after killing him. Upon checking though, turns out it doesn't respawn, and so yeah, if the Abhorrent Beast wasn't in the game it'd probs get the best miniboss spot.

It can only stomp or try to bite *very slowly* and is a joke to kill early from this.

For me, i appreciate the fact that shichimen warrior and headless are optional. I've only ever beatem them once and that was when i was going for the platinum. So they are not a problem that much. With that mindset, my absolute worst miniboss in Sekiro is Blazing Bull. Especially due to the fact that it is mandatory no matter the playthrough. Thinking about the Bull sometimes literary stops me from doing another playthrough. It is annoying as hell and unlike most bosses and minibosses in the game, it is not fun to fight at all no matter the skill level.

[@bobloblawesq.5533]

I considered myself a soulsborne veteran when I started Sekiro. But that was the issue I couldn’t break my habits from those games. I’d quit the first time outta frustration and didn’t come back from a few months. I spent 10straight hours of game save time fighting seven spears. It was miserable. But I was not gonna leave and go else where , and I wasn’t quitting again, he was going down. And when is finally beat him I’d broken all the habits of trying to play sekiro like the other games. When that man finally went down I screamed at the TV like I’d put down my worst enemy… lol.

Their impossible reach, janky, delayed attacks, their clipping through everything, their large HP bars, and the fact that hitting them doesn’t even give you a satisfying, impactful sound the way other enemies do in DS1, all contribute to them feeling just plain terrible to fight.

Worst mini boss in DS1 has to be the chaos bug in blighttown. It attacks way too fast, and its placement is total bs. I know there’s the option of going behind it, but if the only way to beat something without getting thrown off the side is to cheese it, it’s a bad design.

Mimimimi back at you!

[@Ninehearts999]

I would personally pick the regular tree sentinel on the first step over the draconic one by maliketh as the better miniboss. It’s a great teaching moment for returning players and new players alike, showing you that there are some things in the open world that you are better off returning to with a little more levels under your belt. Plus it has the really cool shield that reflects magic, forcing casters to take a more imaginative or bold approach. That draconic bastard just shoots fireballs at me with his horse over and over and OVER AGAIN. Terrible AI in my experience, inconvenienced by that miniboss in every run

[@adamhuntington2686]
