The one issue I had with lords of the fallen was the constant use of dogs hidden behind a path so you'd get swarmed from behind and then have the mob you were originally going for in the front. Already frustrating to deal with dogs in soulslikes, and then they give them armor and make them explode and breathe fire lmao

[@Ungli2.0]

I wanted to like that game so badly. It frustrates me that it does so many things wrong because the presentation is so strong. Than rhymed

The spiked helmet guys hiding behind stuff to headbut you off the edge was also great fun. Overall a good game, played through it normal and ng, like i do with all souls games.

[@NoName-qd6vp]

That game was my personal biggest disappointment of 2023. As a die-hard Souls vet, it was super depressing how mid it turned out to be.

Intercept the Redguns is honestly my favorite mission in AC6. From the jump you're engaged in an onslaught of MTs, Michigan actually acknowledges you as a serious threat, and the banter is truly entertaining.

[@maxleveladventures]

The thing about the last boss in Lies of P is the absolutely insane difficulty spike. I'm not the best Soulslike player, but I managed to one-shot most early bosses, and 1-3 shots pretty much every other boss, until I got to Manus. He took several tries. But that final boss is such an insane spike that the game absolutely does not prepare/train you for. That made it more frustrating than it would have been if you weren't so caught off guard by the spike.

[@Dasaradh_G08]

You're the best Falcon Keep on making these amazing videos

[@thomashooper2451]

Great list. That Michigan assassination mission is no joke. It's more of a marathon than a level. I never found the cabin fight of RE4 to be too terribly difficult, but I will say it feels harder in Remake. As for the alchemist's lair of Lies of P, I just run through most of it. Most of those enemies are an absolute pain, and if I need to grind up some Ergo, I teleport to an earlier area.

[@darthvader3742]

The cabin level isn't too difficult, but the enemies are definitely more aggressive, and it does keep you on your toes.

[@Hydrazine1000]

Thank you for including number 8, the section going through the Cynosure bunker in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. Ye Gods! That was an unsuspecting nightmare! And yes, it's not so much about being without weapons (because you cannot take that damn Blackwall controlled robot down yourself anyway) but it is the sudden and utterly unexpected change in game type that makes it so difficult. Figuring out _when_ to hide, combined with _where_ you can hide, needs to be done on the proverbial spot.

[@steelhelix]

Personally, my biggest issue is that you can't even stun the robot. I get that it's "Blackwall enhanced" but we're carrying anti-tank weapons by that point in the game, killed a squad of Max-Tac troops, destroyed a tank at the beginning of the DLC... and what the lore described as a maintenance robot is killing us. The Blackwall can't change the fact that the robot isn't armored, it completely destroyed the narrative for me.

[@Dizz2K7]

Rarely when I watch videos like this do I see an entry of a game that I've actually played, but with this one resident evil 4 and super Mario Bros Wonder were not only were in the list, but I'd actually conquered the things talked about, which makes me feel kind of good.

[@Alloveck]

Personally, it's just the "recent" part that rules me out entirely. I play games within a year of release at best, and usually much more like three-ish years after release. The backlog is that big. (Plus, that gives time for bug fixes, mods, and all the DLC to be released.) So yeah, I haven't played anything in this video unless the RE4 demo counted as playing RE4 Remake. ...I guess I clicked expecting a wider definition of "recent."

[@Malacite]

That mission on AC6 was pure Hell. It's just non-stop enemy fire from all angles, and just as difficult as not taking too much damage is killing all the adds without running out of ammo for the Boss.

[@dondaileyii]

Ninja Gaiden and the Silver Surfer game from the NES were incredibly hard. If I didn’t have the NES Advantage controller I doubt I would have finished either. Im so thankful to the clerk that suggested to my mom I would need it.

[@chand2theler189]

The hardest recent level i played was P-2 from Ultrakill, which was partly difficult because you have to get perfect on every level in the game to play it.

Getting an S-rank on Intercept the Redguns is probably the hardest thing in AC6.

[@amwazdraws6890]

I want to do the Platinum but have no idea how to s rank this mission

[@robertdelgado544]

As much as I'd love to agree with you, S-rank on the defend the tower mission was an actual nightmare for me

[@praetorxyn]

@@robertdelgado544 That’s pretty easy. The trick is that you need to just reverse joint legs and the activation ability that puts a shield wall in front of you. When the drones are coming, just jump as high as you can and deploy the shield. They’ll kamikaze into the shield and do barely any damage.

[@robertdelgado544]

@@praetorxyn never thought of the shield. I just boosted up to em as they spawned. And tried to get as many as I could. That would've saved me a lot of frustration. Too late now lol

[@praetorxyn]

@@robertdelgado544 Yeah, that’s the only way I could do it, but once I figured that out it only took a few tries.

[@ErosXCaos]

In Dark Souls 2, in the next gen remake Scholar of the First Sin edition, they reworked the enemy placement leading to The Smelter Demon, in Iron Keep, and made running straight through the runback to the boss as close to impossible as you can get. Experienced Souls veterans know how to run straight to any boss in any of the titles, but the SotFS Smelter runback is perfectly tuned to force you to fight nearly every enemy on the way there. Luckily, it’s optional. But the layout of the level doesn’t make that at all obvious.

[@jirizarr_21]

Literally just finished the House of Hope fight. It's an amazing fight that took me about 4 tries. Also, the music during this fight makes Raphael a straight up Disney villain. 😅

[@billwithers4762]

Intercept the redguns is actually a lot easier if you equip double flamers. I kept running out of ammo/dying until I tried the flamers.

[@no_nameyouknow]

I ended up relying on the laser lance a lot to conserve ammo.

[@Latias38]

Really comes down to your build and how comfortable you are; not to mention some weapons are way better than others. Really you just want a build that can rush down and make quick work of enemies; cause if your dps aint high youll get overwhelmed very quickly.

[@Coletto386]

I ended up running out of ammo and just finished the last few enemies with punches and boost kicks

[@FallenActual]

I did the cyberpunk mission on my first try but god I hated those horror chase/hide style missions

[@ABadassDragon]

Aside from Somewhat Damaged, (Dont) fear the reaper ending can be quite hard as well. You take on the whole Arasaka tower by yourself, your health keeps decreasing and the icing on the cake is a 101 fight with Smasher at the end. Thankfully, i had a broken netrunner build and was able to oneshot Smasher at hard difficulty. There is also the fight with the Chimera. The missile barrage can be quite brutal. And if you have a low body build, good luck in the Sasquatch fight

In Lies of P I struggled massively with the green swamp monster thing, the Corrupted Parade Master, and even Champion Victor. Just saying this to illustrate that I am *not* good at this game. By the time I got to Simon Manus I was ready to just throw in the towel, but somehow he went down in 3 tries. Might have just hit some really lucky RNG, but I honestly thought he was the easiest boss in the later stages of the game.

[@OutHereOnThePerimeter]

I didn't find hard the Intercept the Red Guns mission, maybe I got lucky and got the right build on my first try, but I don't remember having trouble with that mission. The only part of AC6 that I've found genuinely hard was the Ibis Series boss battle, that mf made me retry the fight like 40 times and change build a couple of times until I finally learned its patterns. What a insanely fun game, I really wish we'd get DLC sometime, probably not gonna happen, but a man can dream.

[@Dethmothcreations]

Watch them play, they're trash and are trying to 1v1 all the side enemies with single shot guns. It's a super weird way to play the game, how do you get that far and are still fighting things like this?

[@dowfreak7]

I was not interested in the game at all, but watching the souls guy I usually check for From games this section did seem like one of the harder ones. Granted, the guy gets stuck on the weirdest shit, most often due to stubbornness, but I'm pretty sure he spent like an hour repeating those same voicelines and as a watcher who gets nothing about the game, it looked like an endless onslaught of enemies; which will be tough.

[@Boss_Fight_Index_muki]

While i did love Armored Core 6, there were too many 'throw-away missions' and not enuff 'incoming-enemy pattern-recognition sorties'. Intercept the Redguns was the only sortie that's like the older games. And just finished Ace Combat 7 recently and that game has wwaayy more in common with the older Armored Core games than AC6.

This video just shows how some games attract some players and not others. None of these games are my type of game. The explanation that makes sense to me is that my job is hard and stressful so I don't want a game that is over the top stressful.

[@Darkprosper]

Several of those are either hidden, optional levels for those who seek challenges, or aren't that bad if you're not on the highest difficulty setting. It's the combination of game and context that is hard, many of those can be just nice.

[@butwhataboutdragons7768]

I'd add in pretty much any of the stealth missions in Lost Ark. They're the most unforgiving things imaginable, as if you're seen at all that's it, start the whole thing over. You're essentially defenseless. Especially the dog enemies which seem either entirely random or maybe they're actively coming after you, the last thing you want in these types of missions. Thankfully they're all completely optional as far as I know, so unless you're just trying to collect everything you can try your hand a couple of times then find other islands. And frankly in the type of game it is, if that's your goal you're in for tedium and frustration (and an empty wallet) regardless.

The Prince secret trap room was a nightmare. Glad it’s not required to progress the game and completely optional. Dead island 2 final boss is another level that gave a real tough time.

[@Amins88]

[@jettblade]

I didn't have too much trouble with Simon, the Nameless Puppet, or even the level itself. I did have a huge problem with the Door Guardian and Laxasia. The Door Guardian is just a slog to fight and Laxasia is the most difficult boss of the game. Each time I beat her if didn't feel like it was skill as much as she got tired of killing me and just gave up.

[@imALazyPanda]

Simon was the only boss in the game that wasn't an absolute blast to fight, which is impressive. He reminds me of martyr logarius who also is just not a fun fight. Laxasia was hard, the only boss that took me over 10 tries, and very much I think she just got bored of kicking my teeth in by the time I beat her. Nameless puppet and king of puppets 2nd phase are definitely the most fun fights in the game and actually have broken into my top 10 souls fights, the only non fromsoft fights to make my list.

[@dowfreak7]

Door guardian disappointed me more than it frustrated me. The first time I died I didn't even feel like I failed, I just felt like "k, get me out so I can try something else that might be the gimmick" after standing on the glowing button, trying to make him bash the door in, trying to break the crystals etc. Laxasia is legit probably the hardest fight. Around 5 tries, which puts her on par with the swamp thing, puppet king and the bishop for me, but she also just has moves where I truly have no idea what the fuck the devs want you to do, except be perfect. That smash after she fires the projectiles went undodged, unblocked with the arm, unblocked with the handle skill; literally 0 idea what to fucking do and it basically just means 60% dmg whenever she decides to do it. She's also so fast and switches the speed on the moves SO much, that it almost didn't feel fair to force people to learn 6 different moves with wildly different timings in the second phase of a fight and expect them to get shit perfect to succeed.

So, haven't played Lords, but I've heard a lot of criticism, and talking about the entry here really ties it all together for me.

I do not get these games honestly. Like Elden Ring, it is fine game to pass time, frustrating at times, because controls can be too slow, but what dialogue we even talking about here? I don't know, maybe I am a complete idiot, cause I played Elden Ring for like 100 hours and I can't remember any NPC or anything of the sort. Ok, I remember blind girl who wanted letter to be delivered, seriously, I was surprised that game actually has quest, since I don't even remember that. I just roam with podcast on and just try to level up, there is all to it to me. I get that art design is lure for some people, but man, some have written freaking essays on lore and story in these games... Like what? There is nothing there really, its just abstract thing, If their story and lore is so great, why don't they actually put it in game? I get that figuring it is part of the appeal in many cases, but I just do not see it in Souls games, to me it looks like fanboys figuring something out of their ass, but maybe I am just stupid.

And the gameplay is really subjective, either you love it or hate it, its simple but can be effective.

The cabin fight was hard, but doable! If I had to choose the hardest part it would be the mine cart section, or the Salazar fight..

I've just finished Prince of Persia the Lost Crown. It's amazing. But that trap room above the secret elevator floor. Christ on a donkey I spend like 45 mins on it. But I spent about an hour in the puzzle at the top of the archives with all the blocks that fly in. All to get two coins! The impossible climb took about 20 mins. I just practiced getting to the top on consistent then the two other bells off the side you can get quite easily if you fall from the top.

Laika is a game that more people need to play thanks for giving it attention

First boss in lords of the fallen and the final boss of Lies of P were the only really hard parts in those games. Sure i died a lot and struggled in areas, but those bosses were a pain!

Honestly the cabin fight wasn't that bad for me, I actually had more trouble with that damn giant because I was pretty low on ammo by that point.

Prince of Persia’s platforming looks fun to me. Having beaten Farewell on Celeste, that looks like a fun challenge without being too painful.

The first encounter with Raphael was indeed hard, but when you discover that felogyr's workshop has powder barrels that can level the lower city, Raphael just becomes a chump. Last encounte I just placed 2 barrels in each pillar with a bunch of fireworks, have one characater with a high initiative use a fire spell or fire arrows and it just annihilates most of the cambions and just smite the living hell out of Raphael, dont know if this strat can be used in Honour mode though.

I love Baldur's Gate 3 House of Hope fight. I played on normal difficulty and it does feels like no other encounter. Heck it's even more memorable than the last boss fight to me.

[@bushmecj]

Prince of Persia’s impossible climb requires you to get all three bells without taking damage and return back to the hermit on the ground. If you take damage you lose all bells grabbed. Doesn’t matter if you managed to get all three but took damage while heading back down. Start over!

I just went back and got the platinum for ac 6 there was so much coming out at that time i finally got the time to do all the s ranks. Oh and the key to that mission is the bad cook flame throwers and stun needles with a heavy tank build they melt all those little enemies. The platinum for lords of the fallen was a whole other adventure when the game firdt came out no one had a complete list of all the armors and weapons so you had to cross reference your invebtory with several websites i was literally writinf notes on paper to get it all done only to have complete guides come out days after. RE 4 cabin can be be set down to q science and get through it very easily can't wait for lies of p dlc its likentheybread my mind because while I was playing i was saying to myself alice in wonderland or fhe wizard of oz would make for a amazing game like this.

For Rogue Trader, it helps that you can turn the difficulty way down at any point, so it's hard to get stuck with no recourse, but even so, acts 4 and 5 just get annoying.
