[@TheRealAce0]

Everyone calls me insane but godskin duo is my favorite boss in Elden ring

[@propagandapanda4272]

Nah u Are crazy

[@YUM0N]

Favorite is crazy, I will die on the hill that it's a overhated fight though. Really enjoyed it.

[@Slaphard]

you are

[@guyschill2059]

I agree

[@Hollow__Heart]

Yeah, dunno about favorite but I really liked it. Their design is dope (always liked the look of black flames in souls games), their music is nothing short of amazing and is still one of my favorites in the base game. Sure they are not quite as well put together as a duo as O&S but still not as bad as people say. And honestly I feel O&S are a little (but only a little) overrated as a duo fight. But it might be just because the game is a little dated.

[@hitdoctor24]

Shouldn’t have included Sekiro mini-bosses IMO since they’re not designed to be full-fledged bosses, with maybe a couple of exceptions

[@orionizaqt]

LIST SPOILERS AHEAD I think your list is completely fair and an excellent ranking overall. I'm surprised you don't like Sister Friede that much though. I find her to be one of the most enjoyable fights in the entire series. She was like the first Malenia to me. I think the amazement I had after finishing the second phase for the time and getting a titanite slab as a reward, thinking that the fight was over, only to have her stand up.... AGAIN, was one the best moments I've ever had in soulsbourne. Easy top 10 for me personally. Also I'd put Isshin number 1, but Gael is still a great choice. I just think Isshin is the most perfect fight From has ever made.

[@daruddock]

Sword Saint Ishin is perfection as far as I'm concerned; the absolute refinement of Sekiro's mechanics with FromSoft's signature demanding yet rewarding gameplay. He alone would raise any game to a much higher standard by his inclusion.

[@its_saber1525]

Messmer is in my top 15, the only thing I really hate is his grab does a little too much damage and the one snack attack can clip out of the walls and makes it so you can't tell when to dodge Very minor nitpicks tho, it's such an incredible boss

[@CrunchyTire]

DS1 could be described imo as "difficulty in simplicity" and I think the more recent games forget that sometimes. We need the balance between DS1s combat and the more recent which is just bosses spamming unlimited attacks like stamina is a word they dont know, plus having multiple health bars and hidden stages is annoying imo too. Just give it one health and make it really hard.

[@WatermelonCat941]

The worst thing about Godskin Duo is that before Elden Ring, they managed to create an gank boss that was equally as good as O&S with The Demon Princes from Ringed City, and then they just decided "nah, instead of that. Have the Godskin Duo"

[@dr.whoever6265]

[@randomfellow1483]

brainsucker from bb chalice dungeons definitely belongs in F or E

[@nefarious8278]

Only thing I completely disagree with is Fortissax, E tier boss. And on waterfowl in phase 1 it sort of acts a deterrent for the player to whale on her because of how easily staggered she is and because in phase 1 the move has like a 1 minute cool-down until she can’t next use you then know that you are safe to whale on her again . This is thrown out the window in phase 2 though because she is then able to spam it

[@godzeira967]

[@thetk7508]

[@flipno8169]

Well, now you gotta add the Elden Ring DLC to the list, because it will affect mostly the top of the list

[@makia3]

My top 5 is very different from yours, I rank bosses from a mechanical perspective so it’s filled with Sekiro and ER bosses. Ds3 bosses are kinda unpolished because of how some of them have inconsistent follow ups which make them especially annoying to fight on challenge runs or NG+7.

[@Benboostedguy]

Imma be honest i didnt watch anything after i saw u put godskin duo in f tier in the first 5 min :D Respectfully i say this i dont understand how somewhere in that list the gargoyle duo in elden ring is somehow over the godskin fight. Imo the godskin duo fight without summons or sleep pots is a really good skill test. U have pillars in the arena , u can force certain attacks with imput reads (u heal at the right distance to force em to fireball, roll into it and full heavy charge) . U can space them properly to have windows for proper 1v1s , they also are more passive as there are 2 alive. Once u kill one the fight gets more eazier too. U can get the fat one stuck on a pillar as he rolls and hit him with good spacing and decent size weapon as he is rolling. U can still damage the HP bar as u kill one while he is in the dying animation.Idk the whole fight i like a lot , i dont understand the hate for it at all. I say this respectfully to you.

[@ClaveBBY]

No the godskin duo is definitely worse than the gargoyles

[@Benboostedguy]

@@ClaveBBY at no point in the gskin duo fight there is bullshit that u cant avoid , gargoyle fight if u dont stat check the first one b4 the second one spawns its cancer, that 1 attack where he spews poison and the other one keeps attacking you is unavoidable. U will roll out of the first one’s attacks into the poison from second one

[@SaintMarianne]

Based Magilou music at the very start

[@jogetohajimezenin]

I beat Micolash first try by accidentally finding the mirror glitch so he only took me like 3 minutes 😂 Godskin Duo while not Ornstein and Smough is stupid easy because sleep pots exist, heavy sleep pots tho. My personal record with heavy sleep pots is only 1 minute and 15 seconds and I use frostbite, not bleed. I agree with everything else. Mohg is too easy with a bleed build and equipping his shackle, and if you want hella damage Marais Executioner Sword, with consecutive boosts and you'll have him dead before 2nd stage even starts.
