Ranking the Blasphemous Bosses from Easiest to Hardest

[@Kruziik]

Crisanta was actually hard for me, timings are tight and she has a lot of different attacks

[@CBolt17]

[@griffinwik]

Crisanta was comparable to Bloodborne's Lady Maria fight for me: an equal PvP fight if not for her screen wide lunge attacks.

[@Alcatrax_]

Same, the final boss took 3 tries while christana took 9 and a broken desk from frustration

[@panthekirb7561]

Crisanta is easily in the top 3 bosses for me in terms of difficulty as she was actually pretty tough.

[@panthekirb7561]

As in tough compared to most bosses in this game which can be beaten in one try or two.

[@CowKirbo]

I completely disagree with Crisanta. She was actually one of the hardest even with the parrying The archbishop and our lady of the charred Visage are way easier than the three sisters and even tie piedad And the final boss was freaking easy after I knew how he worked

[@gregorykengstrasser3268]

I think this video was made before WOE was released. She becomes a tank and this video lacks the third form of Escribar

@gregorykengstrasser3268 yeah it was but either way I just disagree with a bunch of this list.

[@UnaMoscaEnLaPared]

I agree. For me Crisanta was harder even than the last boss, whose only took me a few attempt to defeat him.

[@clabajea]

I don't know, Crisanta is very predictable and easy to parry. Second phase doesn't really change that

[@CowKirbo]

@clabajea I heavily disagree. I, and it seems like many others, had a tough time with her, and I never really found her predictable. Now it's been a long ass time since I played the game, though, so my memory of my troubles is blurry at best

Fr any time I partied her it would push me back so I couldn’t hit her for some reason 💀💀

[@Barloq133IC2S]

She was definitely not one of the easier bosses, especially to get hits in on, but she is really easy to avoid taking damage from. The only attacks she was damaging me with was her magic slam wave attack, if I jumped I'd get hit by her and if I didn't parry it then I'd get hit by the wave. That said, I think I beat her on my 3rd try.

[@maxastro]

Exposito was actually by far the hardest boss for me. I was never brave enough to try the strategy of standing inside of him, and it took me a couple deaths to realize the head isn't the only weak spot. The tail strikes come out of nowhere at high speed and are among the most damaging attacks in the game. On top of all of that, sometimes when he flies across the screen he takes a route that leaves you literally nowhere to dodge and no choice but to stand there taking contact damage. My biggest mistake was that I fought him slowly and carefully which is definitely the exact wrong strategy. On the flip side, Last Son of the Miracle only took me three tries but I got really lucky the third time. It helps that the "down" version of the melee combo (the one that ends with a whirlwind slash) does absolutely stupid damage and you can get it off twice in a row if the platform forms by his head. If you use the prayer that gives bonus attack speed, you can almost get it off three times with good timing and a lot of luck.

[@csidesummit]

For me, his fireballs defied prediction. If he fires one, you get spiked. If he firest three, no spike but you have to dodge three fireball. Trouble was I could never figure out which he was doing so I got spiked all the time. The movements also felt kind of random to me, making it really hard to predict. By far my hardest boss. Though funnily I never died to the baby. Not once.

[@ThePandaOfYourMind]

To me it was hard as well, but also because it is my least favourite boss by far, so fighting him feels like a slog

[@aidanweiand859]

Playstyle is definitely a big factor with these bosses, I found Crisanta to be the hardest overall simply because I was too aggressive

@@mattmilliken1510 Esdras is an absolute madman. Varied attacks with small time to react (at least if you aim for melee fights as I do) demanding different approaches to avoid them, some of them being able to stunlock you for massive damage. And of course, the eternal danger of being beaten into a lightning, then hit by said lightning, then beaten up again. So far have beaten this game thrice, and this, together with Last Son, has become the hardest boss for me (also helps you are way less geared towards this fight than you can be towards Last Son). Meanwhile Quirce greatly rewards gitting gud at dodges, is vulnerable to those massive L charges, and can be greatly eased with the proper gear.

The greatest thing about this game is how open it is. The first boss I faced was Tres Angustias with only 3 vials and no damage to speak of. Definitely the boss that gave me the most trouble. But on my 2nd playthrough I left them as the 3rd of the first few bosses and they were one of the easiest fights in the game.

[@esteban7749]

3angustias was my 3rd boss and i killed it in the first attemp was the easiest for me, instead charred visage was the second and was pretty hard

[@vizzyMcExee]

Two things: 1) On the Archbishop: There's a Mea Culpa move for the final hit in the 4-piece to be a massive upswing, using that due to the animation (probably a bug) he becomes a joke because every combo becomes a 7 hit (8 if you do the down smash at the top of the rising slash) Effectively shortening the time 2) On Charred Lady: It took me someone on twitter telling me this but YOU CAN CLIMB THE SIDES!!!

[@МаксимЗубарев-ш5ы]

[@Barrelhater]

man i hate that baby and his bullshit tape worm

[@vuivraalbastra]

Yeah Exposito's fight has such a bad combat design imo. The attacks are barely telegraphed and so fast, it's suddenly a RNG game of who can deal more damage faster after so many bosses with clear moves and the second body part in which the boss takes damage makes no sense. Comparing that with the big skeleton or Quirce who had clear moves and hit boxes, Exposito was so frustrating for me...

[@gabrielalexandercanseco6422]

I agree on like 90% exposito and the son of the miracle were such a gigantic pain... But it was a very nice challenge

[@alejandronieto4212]

Am I the only one who suffered the most with Lady of the Charred Visage? At that stage of the game you have so few flasks, health, defences and attack, so every hit counts and sometimes just hitting her can be a living hell with the climbing while dodging stuff just to scratch a few hits hoping she doesnt fuck you while youre up with your reduced dodge options. Also 2nd phase can really melt your ass by comboing lasers so you cant dodge both, ot just making a double massive rain of balls. Exposito got it on first try bulked up as shit, never really understood it. And Esdras, Crisanta, Quirce and Son of the Miracle were hard but enjoyable fights with mechanics open to easy moveset improvements, like learning where to parry or jump, maxing rosary treats or getting the most of that sweet sword thrust.

[@tobalxtobal]

The good thing about these bosses is that most of them require patience and learning how the mechanics work (and skill, of course), so there were very few times where I died and thought “wow that was bullshit”. Mostly due to recovery times, which in bosses like Quirce getting hit spelled almost certain death as you’d probably get wombo-comboed and there’s nothing you’d be able to do about it. Other than that, I was super hyped when I beat the last boss on my third attempt. Even in my first attempt I thought “ok, this is definitely winnable”. Other bosses like Tres Angustias took me longer than I care to admit, but all in all it was my fault for being greedy or not understanding how to fight the boss. All in all, I had a lot of fun beating Blasphemous and definitely got the “souls-like” vibe, especially after beating a boss and yelling FUCK YEAH. Would definitely recommend to any SoulsSekiroBorne fan out there 🙌

[@purehollow]

The last son of the miracle was one of the easiest bosses for me took 2 attempts only to beat He kinda reminds me of the radiance from hollow knight , of course he is no where as difficult but both of the makes jump over platforms while dodging attacks and hitting the boss except half of lsotm attacks can't even hit you and the other half are easy to dodge unlike radiance and absolute radiance of course

The fact that you rank Crisanta so high compared to some of the others ahead of her is just.... Well to put it bluntly, stupid.

Currently I'm fighting her to get the "Requiem Æternam" achievement of using no bile flasks and she has put up more that ten times the fight Quirce did. Quirce has very meticulous and predictable moves as Crisanta can be a wildcard, especially with her speed and hit you for about 1/6-1/8 of your health bar (with max upgrades) in an instant with seemingly no warning.

Here's a tip for escribar or many other bosses as well: don't "upgrade" your flasks. One rosary bead (the pelican one) makes you immune while you chug flasks and another one gives you projectile attacks when you chug flasks. Equip the mea culpa heart that generates fervor, equip debla of the lights prayer. Equip the marble rosary bead that increases damage as your flasks empty Fight as you normally would but when things go south, go into your own "second boss phase" and start spamming prayers, flasks, ranged attacks and increasing damage....most bosses are done by then.

Quirce is one of the easiest bosses too

[@DFCZE]

Listen. Its always the same. Souls games are like that. Every player has his own difficulty based on his/her skill. I didn't have problem with most of the bosses, but my list would be a lot different than his. He also has a playstyle that he applies to all of the games, while I keep switching it as game demands from me.

Ten piedad is Spanish for “have mercy” and tres angustias is Spanish for “Three agonies”

lol, I kinda love how different your ranking always is from my personal one. Crisanta was by far the hardest boss in the entire game for me. And Exposito was my second hardest. xD On the other hand I beat last son on my second try.

[@csidesummit]

For me Quirce was probably the easiest boss. Once I knew what he was doing it was simple. Esdras I had to look up, but once I realized how vulnerable he is during his lighting attack he fell really fast. Exposito was my hardest one. I still feel like it was luck more than anything that got me past him.

Wait what those 3 sisters are in my 3rd hardest tho. How is it low for you, am I that bad. Damn you miracle and that fiery pits.

[@brettpierce5225]

Out of all the metroidvanias I played, this game has the best bosses imo. From their varied moveset and style, to their progressive difficulty at where they are in the game, they’re all very fun to fight and satisfying to beat. If you’re a Souls fan and haven’t picked up this game yet, pick it up just for the excellent feeling of progression and the bosses. Also I didn’t see anyone else give this tip but GET AND USE THE COMBO WHERE YOU SPIN AT THE END OF YOUR COMBO. If you can make it to the top platform of the final boss and use that it’ll SHRED a good chunk of his health bar, and any other boss if you get it earlier.

[@intestinalclouds-kfpobitua5342]

I wish the bosses had better death animations tho (relative to how good enemy death animations look). So many of them are just getting scarred and vanishing or lowering off screen.

[@goldenrods5006]

Mr. Hater shut the fuck up, he said in his opinion, just because you like the game doesn’t mean its better than every other related one, I really liked Hollow Knight, it’s my second favorite game aside from Minecraft. But you shouldn’t say it’s better than a lot of great works of art because different people like different art styles, and gameplay types.

It’s “thou have mercy” in Spanish.

[@DaedalosC9]

TBF, the bosses were updated to be harder and Crisanta is one of the most difficult now

[@LatinDiveman]

Other than the last boss, Quirce for me was the most difficult because of how quick he was. I was lucky to fight him last before going to the end or I would have needed to search more +HP swords. Overall the bosses aren't all that difficult, they're challenging yes, but once you understand the mechanics and the patterns they become more manageable

[@richardjared960]

LatinDiveman I feel like him and the last boss are unfair because all they do is stun lock you.

[@LatinDiveman]

@@richardjared960 beating the last boss for me was pure luck because he didn't use the fireballs until the very end so I could ignore them and keep attacking. other than the fireballs I think every other attacks is not so bad

LatinDiveman the fireballs are the worst! If he didn’t have that attack or if they didn’t do that much damage it would be better.

Fromsoft has trained me too much, I didn't find any boss really difficult, just some took a few tries to learn their moveset. But like Soulsbornekiro the platforming killed me more than anything. The rose portal trials were by far the hardest parts of the game for me and I was really dissapointed how unspectacular the reward was for them.

[@1990EscortXR3i]

Those trials almost made me quit the game for good. There's so much bullshit that happens for no good reason and those ladders, ah those ladders. Was it too difficult to make the climb hitbox centered?

[@arthurdurham]

@@1990EscortXR3i Yup exactly. I enjoyed the challenge when it felt skill based, but there was also a lot of B's like the ladders. Or even the lamp jump, it was never consistent.

[@TheHalfishExperience]

pretty sure #7 name's just spanish for "Be merciful", #6 is "Three worries"

[@sobrev1viente]

The #7 is properly translated to: have mercy, be merciful its: se misericordioso or se piadoso, three worries its tres preocupaciones

[@TheHalfishExperience]

Lucas Galloway yes, but that’d be a direct translation, in the tone of the game and stuff it probably wouldn’t be 1:1, but either way that’s just a matter of which one fits best, but yes, you’re 1:1

[@trevinhs]

"have mercy" (as in "Lord, have mercy upon us") and "three anguishes" would be a bit more accurate translations. It's interesting to see people conjecturing about how certain spanish boss names would be translated to english since I've always wondered myself how to better translate some of my favorite games' boss names to my native language.

Hey demodcracy would you recommend this game to a souls fan? Thinking of grabbing for the switch

[@maxastro]

This is definitely more of a Metroidvania game than a Souls game. If you enjoy Hollow Knight, you'll probably like this.

[@FatCatProductions]

Coming from a major souls fan I’d highly recommend it. It’s cheap and it’s got the same depressing atmosphere of souls. It would definitely require some love of 2d platformers but I definitely got my money’s worth out of it and it’s got the same feel of searching for upgrades and special items while having to learn proper dodge and patience in when to attack.

If you like the style go for it however if you're not into 2d games and if you're not ready to struggle with some clunky platforming this might not be for you.

I'm surprised everyone had so much trouble with Exposito. If you use the prayer that creates spinning orbs around you with the mea kulpa that increases its recovery speed you can inflict so much damage he goes down quickly. I didn't even know that the body was a weak spot and I just slashed the head but I guess the prayer kept hitting it. I had most trouble with Visage bc it took me a bit to figure out how to dodge the bullet hell parts.

[@atijohn8135]

hi can you do a dark souls 3 favorite boss designs from least to most? (by design i mean the model the appearance)

[@DriveTr4in]

My experience was very different. I killed final boss in 1st try very easy -- although I did go around collecting stuff, got lvl 7 Mea Culpa and the invincibility spell before attempting. Hardest was Lady of The Charred Visage, because I made mistake of going there first after the tutorial. The only boss that killed me 8+ times to make me frustrated enough to use Viridiana NPC helper. Crisanta gave me the 2nd most trouble. For some reason, I had a tendency to parry too early when she winds up for a hit and I got clipped by her zoom attacks sometimes.

[@burnout713]

Our Lady was brutal for me, as well, especially since I was doing the trophy where you can't heal. Despite this, she was also easily my favorite fight; managing all that screen-filling chaos was an awesome challenge.

[@Grimscribe732]

#1 His Holiness Escribar / Last Son of the Miracle (3 Deaths, random a.f.) #2 Crisanta of the Wrapped Agony (7 Deaths, highly loadout dependent) #3 Quirce, Returned by the Flame (2 Deaths) #4 Esdras, of the Anointed Legion (1 Death) #5 Melquiades, The Exhumed Archbishop (3 Deaths) #6 Exposito, Scion of Abjuration (2 Deaths, random a.f.) #7 Our Lady of the Charred Visage (2 Deaths) #8 Ten Piedad (2 Deaths) #9 Perpetua (0 Deaths) #10 Tres Angustias (0 Deaths) #11 Warden of the Silent Sorrow (0 Deaths) Overall I'm not a big fan of the bosses in Blasphemous. The only one where I have nothing to criticize is Our Lady of the Charred Visage. Crisanta is also almost without flaw, except that she bugged out of the screen for me 2 times and I had to reload the game to start the encounter all over. Quirce is a cool fight but the shitty stunlock is frustrating - even if you die just once to that shit. Melquiades is cool as well but his sceptre has severe hitbox issues. Ten Piedad, and Esdras are both pretty much middle of the road in terms of quality. Exposito is genuinely the worst boss I have faced in recent memory, complete randomness and no recognizable patterns nor any meaningful cues as to what the snake is up to - such a shame considering his cool visuals. The Last Son's difficulty comes from all the wrong reasons, and the fact that you have to sit through all the talking again if you die is annoying as hell - also the first phase has some bugs. Perpetua, Tres Angustias and Warden of the Silent Sorrow are total pushovers which is a bit much if your lineup consists of only 11 encounters - granted Warden is a tutorial encounter, but still, at least Tres Angustias should've better design. This game could've been a true cult classic with its insane lore and even madder visuals, but some design flaws - many boss fights among them - feel just sloppy and degrade the quality of the overall product. Not saying Blasphemous is a bad game, but I'm glad I bought it on sale!

When will the ranking of the Zelda-bosses continue? It has been forever since the last part.

For real

[@SethMantia]

Esdras was by far the hardest boss for me. It took me like 8 or 10 tries. Our lady of the charred visage was also frustrating. But Quirce and the final boss both didn't take me that many tries. I don't know if that was your game play, but it looked like your weren't using all the air combat at your disposal. When in the air and holding down and attacking, you bounce for up to 2 strikes. Made the final boss a little bit easier.

[@MrPorkered]

Yea agreed Esdras was crazy.... hard
