Ranking the Souls Series Bosses from Worst to Best [#54-40]

Blondieflay it’s hard for a first playthrough though

[@enjoyer2227]

Having a poison aura isn't that good of a design. He killed me like 15 times.

[@oddmetre]

Yhorm's lore is actually heartbreaking. He's one of my favourite characters, almost entirely because of that fact. Plus I also found the fight fun. Side note: In his first stage, if you get behind Aldrich as he raises his bow for the arrow attack but before he launches it, it won't hit you. But that strat is useless in the second stage; run like hell! All in all, super aggression plus lightning blade is the way to go in that fight.

[@theDeModcracy]

I do really feel for Yhorm. He's definitely a boss it feels good to kill for heartwarming reasons rather than "dis dude gotta DIE"

[@kharmainyoface]

"ease the transition from a souls game" That thing murdered me so many time the first time I picked up Bloodborne, the difference in the styles of combat really threw me off, proud to say that I have new game + 3d it now though.

[@matthewdejesus8215]

I don't get the Yhorm hate either, the fight was epic even if it wasn't super hard. and it WASNT super easy; people are so full of shit. Learning that you have to CHARGE the stormruler instead of using its weapon art like anything else is a hard thing to learn while an angry giant is trying to murder you. It's a cakewalk with siegward, but on a blind solo playthrough it's just as dangerous as any boss while you figure shit out.

[@advanced8998]

agreed loved the fight

[@Corwin12000]

i walked into the boss room with siegward, ran up to the storm ruler, 45 seconds later I found it in my inventory and siegward's dead, followed by me because I am amazing at dark souls...

[@thepkingmaster]

same the first time I fought him was so cool sure he's easy but his fight is pretty sick.

[@dargons5145]

I fought him with a fully upgraded Dragonslayer Greataxe instead, it was a TON of fun, seriously, I think everyone should do that at least once.

[@assdan27]

Playing this boss by yourself is super fun, playing it with phantoms/siegward is super easy and boring. The challenge entirely comes from having to charge your sword and simultaneously avoid getting hit, that challenge doesn't exist at all if you have other people with you.

[@MandosDestiny]

I frankly would have put Darklurker a fair bit higher for it's design and pacing, top 20 level boss for me

[@Warcrafter]

Darklurker is the best DS2 boss IMO.

[@Elemental-Phoenix]

I'm just gonna drop my top bosses. 1: Artorias. Well designed and fair fight with awesome lore. 2: Gywn. Perhaps not as good of a fight as Artorias, holy shit the lore is awesome and the atmosphere is amazing. 3: gonna give it to Nameless King. Lore is awesome and the second phase is fair and difficult. 4: probably Abyss watchers for right now. The fight design was cool, but the characterization in a few short seconds, then the visual awesomeness of the fire, it just hit the spot. 5: Fume Knight. Nearly forgot this dude, but he was the best boss in ds2, for similar reasons to artorias. Honorable mention to Soul of Cinder for a really well designed final fight.

Just fight Yhorm with a regular weaponm makes it more fun like you're fighting a giant

[@averageanikienjoyer4156]

Lol no that makes it long and boring as fuck

[@MrXenification]

It just takes ages... His attacks are easy to dodge, dont do much dmg and have a long recovery time. You just hit his head and then do a critical attack until hes dead, thats not really a fun fight imo.

[@JonLeinbach]

yeah his fight mechanics are super mediocre, just made the best of it

[@dargons5145]

+MrXenification If you take him head-on and go for his left hand every time he finishes a combo then there is still enough tension and action going on to make it an epic fight, and if you use a fully upgraded Dragonslayer Greataxe you should be doing enough damage to take him down in a relatively short time (he is weak to lightning btw.) That's what I did in my first playthrough and it was a lot of fun.

[@KriegshetzerSob]

+Dragonbasty >1st play through >Dragonslayer great axe Why would anybody in first play through go to upper Lothric Castle before all lords of cinder are dead?(except for Lothric)

Really love that you included Yhorm so high on the list. Not my favorite boss because of the ease, but when Siegward joined me, it changed the whole experience. And the setting general of the Profaned Capitol adds so much, especially with regard to the lore of the Lords of Cinder, linking the flame, and the Profaned Flame.

My friend took me through Dark Souls III, and while we haven't finished it yet(still have Lothric Tower and the King's Gardens to clear, along with the DLC which I'll probably do in NG+), Yhorm was one of my favorite boss battles. Finishing everyone's favorite Onion Knight's quest with a 3v1 against the giant, my friend distracting the Lord of Cinder as I dashed across the throne room, felt absolutely awesome.

[@axelalvarado4897]

Top boss for me is Soul of Cinder. The nostalgia was so intense that I climaxed when the second half of the fight played the most beautiful music from the Gwyn fight.

One of the most unique fights for all the souls games. There's nothing quite like it.

So much fun.

[@D1ab0lical]

+Tedurbin202 I was in one of those groups and it felt great being the last phantom alive and delivering the final blow.

[@Tedurbin202]

Mr. Realist Same. It was actually a lot of fun grinding those dumb loyce souls to get the armor set when helping people.

[@D1ab0lical]

[@abdallaelshafei9580]

Holy shit, DeMod responds to a lot of people. Well played, always good to see youtubers that genuinely appreciate their fans.

[@theDeModcracy]

I do my best Abdalla!

[@Zaroshy]

something i just came to realize is that alot of people hated dark souls 2 for having too many "guys in armor bosses" which is true but all of the best souls bosses seem to be humanoid. (Allant, O and S, Fume Knight, Alonne, Artorias etc.)

[@grantastic2556]

Agreed, Fume Knight was my favorite boss! He was also the most difficult

[@12431265]

the main reason people got sick of it was because all those boss fights you mentioned have very unique movesets and mechanics to them. along with the guys in armor complaint usually comes with a complaint about how their movesets weren't extremely varied and because of the hitboxes in that game in particular being absolute trash it just added to the frustration

[@XIIIHearts]

The issue is that many of these dudes in armor feel too similar to one another to really stand out. We remember the other ones because they felt unique, wile most of the DS2 dudes in armor fights felt too samey.

[@theDeModcracy]

It's definitely a good point. A lot of people (myself included) always hold the humanoid bosses in high regard. I think the problem in Dark Souls 2 was that they were repetitive and (most) lacked complex design.

[@smeatyflavor8201]

Gherman, Maria, Gascoigne... Yeah you're right.

[@totalishnc]

Really hope you add that list of bosses left from every game and percentage covered that you did in the last one of these in all the future ones until the last. Really sad it wasn't here because I think it's a great way to see our progression and its cool to see how much better these games got as a whole

[@theDeModcracy]

Sorry about that! I can add it right here for now: Dark Souls 3 - 9 bosses (47% left) Bloodborne - 9 bosses (30% left) Dark Souls 2 - 8 bosses (20% left) Dark Souls - 7 bosses (27% left) Demon's Souls - 6 bosses (26% left) Still pretty consistent with last time, but Dark Souls 3 pulled away from the pack even further!

[@Aknaught92]

Thank you so much for preaching the love about my boy Yhorm, not difficult but damn fun and epic.

[@theDeModcracy]

Right on Aknaught!

[@KingCasual1986]

I recently did the Crowns in Dark Souls 2 and while I was expecting Aava, I was NOT expecting the chilling monologue from Alsanna before the fight! That was epic! The fight was alright(fortunately the Burnt Ivory King made up for it), but damn that was a cool intro!

[@kinniggittz2132]

Maybe you should do a list of your favourite Soulsbourne areas, such as hating Frigid Outskirts and loving Anor Londo

[@dadqqader]

Frigid Outskirts is the only area i didn't beat. it's too damn painful and waste of time to spending 5 minute running to the boss and end up dying by aava copycat.

[@Shadow_of_Sundered_Star]

My personal favorite lore theory on Aldrich is that he may have eaten Smough. A bit ironic that Smough, infamous for cannibalism, was a victim of another cannibal

[@attcat]

Hey +theDeModcracy, I've an idea: One of these days you should make a list ranking the best/worst areas in Soulsborne, yea? You seem to mention the areas a lot, such as for the Amygdala or the Blue Smelter Demon, and it'd be cool to see you go into more depth on them.

[@nickshoumaker3755]

i like that idea

[@theDeModcracy]

Definitely a great idea Pastlife! I'll be addressing this idea in my Q&A video

[@rateteng2916]

We all know the what the worst area will be . Seriously fuck everything about Frigid Outskirts . 0/10 IGN too much raindeer .

[@marekrojas2541]

i gave up on that area lol too much stress

[@solidsnake9898]

Hold that thought...

[@wharfblarg6150]

I really appreciate that you put Yhorm so high on the list. He gets a lot of hate because he purportedly had "more potential than that." However, I think that the cinematic aspect of the fight as well as the fan service weapon and the way that it was used had a dramatic effect that didn't need difficulty or length. ALSO DAT BOSS THEME. Your list rocks, man. I can not WAIT to see your top 10.

[@theDeModcracy]

It makes me wonder sometimes if the general thinking is that every Souls boss should be in a vacuum that subscribes only to the "tried and true" great bosses (like O&S for example). I love it when I see something fresh - and even though the fight wasn't totally new - it brought back the perfect level of nostalgia for the Storm King and an epic bout in it's own right.

[@Papierflugzeug95]

I just thought about one thing... Could the Darklurker be, in fact, the Goddess Fina? The Armor of Favor shows "the goddess's embrace", and the Darklurker is indeed crossing his arms (as if he was embracing something). It also mentions that her love is as fickle as the weather, and what else in the Souls series perfectly fits that if not the embrace of the abyss, which does grant you immense power (look at Manus, the abyssal enemies in Dark Souls 2 and 3, and Hexes in general) at the cost of your humanity, sanity, or souls.

[@eclong462]

I honestly never found out about the storm ruler thing until after my fight with yhorm. It really made my jaw drop when I got summoned for my friend though, I spent nearly 15 minutes on that boss lmao. But anyways great video DeModcracy, can't wait for the next one :)

[@soapyshrub4312]

Ye

[@DarkSymphony777]

remember the criteria he put he might be not due to how ambiguous his lore is, all we know is he trained ornstein that's it

[@ohhai10]

darksymphony777 That's not all we know. The biggest mystery ever since the first game was who Gwyn's firstborn is, why he was erased from history, etc. That question is answered and we're given one of the most badass, awesome fights in the series, with probably the coolest arena to date, with a sick design. He's got so much going for him I'd be shocked if he isn't top 3. Of course, this is his list..So it's all up to him.

[@DarkSymphony777]

+DarkFalcon yes but the Gwyn thing is implied not confirmed, but I do see the king being in the top ten no problem but top three a stretch

[@ohhai10]

Hmm? The game pretty much outright tells you he's Gwyn's firstborn. The lightning attacks, his crown description saying it looks like Gwyn's, being called Nameless King, the firstborn's name was removed from the annals of history, leaving him nameless, his weapon description saying he's the heir of lightning, which the firstborn was said to inherit in the first game. It's not just implied. For Dark Souls they shoved this down our throats. There's even more, but this is pretty clear cut for the Souls series.

[@rezver7707]

Also I'm surprised to see Aldrich and Darklurker so low. And lastly thanks for the lore lesson on Mytha. This video US the most entertaining for me ( especially that rule 34 part) . The last part was hilarious too with the buttfaces and The Vicar Amelia email. I'm guessing you'll be getting an email from Aldrich or Darklurker today for having ranked them a bit lower than expected. Also shame on you old iron king, your wife is higher on the list that you.

[@FTWGamerTrue]

Why is the asylum demon's difficulty 10 out of 10? He was the first enemy I ever fought in a soulsborne game and I beat him on my first try...

[@FTWGamerTrue]

kurosakikun96 My bad, I forgot.

[@zephfiel9962]

His difficulty rating is based on how hard he thinks the boss should be for its role/location in the game. 10/10 means thedemodcracy thinks the challenge this boss offers is perfect for that point in the game.

[@jaedii7287]

lol I remember when I first played a souls game which was ds1, I had no idea what anything was, I didn't understand any mechanics and going into the asylum demons arena I was scared shitless, he was so hard that I gave up on DS for nearly a year

I am working on my NG+ for DS2, and I can't wait to see how high the Fume Knight gets rated. for one thing, I thought the DS2 lore was amazing, especially the fact that the DLC gave you...hope. However, that Fume Knight...I died more times against him then all the other bosses combined until I decided to TOTALLY ALTER my playstyle, became dodgy, dropped my great sword and shield, and learned how to git gud. That fight finally made me appreciate how to play the damn game.

[@JasonDoe1000]

Many people find his first phase harder than his second phase A little trick (which is also a great gimmick because of the lore) is that if you wear Velstadt's helm, Raimie the Fume Knight will instantly go in his second phase

[@SHARDK2]

It's funny how a lot of the bosses are low just because he has a shit playstyle

[@randomguy6679]

Ishi 123 or he just doesn't want a boring one (a.k.a. Shield or magic

[@zachthomas1638]

I always look forward to your videos because of your schedule, but that isn't a bad thing. keep up the good work

[@theDeModcracy]

Glad you're enjoying them still Zach, I'll keep working hard on more!

[@kingpiniv]

Surprised Mytha was that high, but I've always considered her kind of forgettable considering the meh area leading up to her. Flexile Sentry would be higher up for me if the fight was more difficult. Sadly, I've never really noticed the water level rising because the Sentry is so easy to kill. Keep up the good work, man. Looking forward to the next video!

[@theDeModcracy]

Definitely only the lore that let Mytha creep up this high. I'm in agreement with you on Flexile, I wish the fight was more challenging.

[@kingpiniv]

DS2 lore is so odd. Individual areas, NPCs and bosses have interesting and in some cases amazing lore, but putting it all together is a mess and the final product is difficult to make anything out of.

[@theDeModcracy]

For sure. I think that's a good description of the game in general - there are some damn high "highs" and some incredibly low "lows"

[@marshallroels5733]

So glad I just found you, just watched top 139 up to this video in the past hour. Great content and can't wait for the next installment of this series. :)

[@harryherbert2628]

i honestly really enjoyed aldrich and yhorm i always loved the lead up and the quest line helping siegward and anri and after helping them i always go into this state of depression. for me all the lords of cinder were a blast.

[@SgtMerkle]

it's always a good feeling when these videos show up

[@theDeModcracy]

Always make me feel good to read comments like this, thanks Merkle!

[@SgtMerkle]

+theDeModcracy awh, your welcome :)

[@CeltiesSin]

ive only played BB and DS3, but i actually really enjoyed yhorn. the fact that Sig shows up to stop his old friend makes it all the more emotional, but all the more enjoyable

[@makoto5851]

been waiting for this since the last video, thank you demodcracy!

[@theDeModcracy]

Always happy to deliver my friend!

[@abbasakbar6597]

your content kicks ASS. I hope you keep up the good work, your fanbase will grow like crazy with quality vids like this, cheers man :)

[@theDeModcracy]

I've got no intention of slowing down Abbas! It's easy when I've got great support from fans like you, so thanks mate :)

[@grifmaximus]

Ahhh, Asylum Demon, you're the first boss i ever fought in the series. good memories

[@-araylord-2751]

I look forward to these every week keep up the good work

[@theDeModcracy]

Thanks Araylord, nice to hear you're enjoying them consistently!

[@peterbradyiv]

I always look forward to these videos. They are just so much fun to watch.

[@theDeModcracy]

Glad I can deliver a little fun for you peter, thanks for watching!

[@peterbradyiv]

You're welcome. I just recently got into Dark Souls, and I have to say that its challenging but also very fun and satisfying. I can't wait to play Dark Souls II and III.

[@theDeModcracy]

You'll get better as you go. All the games differ here and there but they are each their own incredible experiences. Enjoy 'em!

[@mariojacksonmoonwalk]

Hey guys, he doesn't run on our schedule. He runs on his own. Instead of rushing him, why don't we all wait patiently for the well-edited, quality content we've come to expect from this channel? I'd just hate for him to feel pressured for time and make inferior videos as a result. Or worse, him get frustrated and stop making videos altogether. I know none of us want that. So please, why don't we, the viewers, just let the creators do their thing. Trust me, I'm just as eager to see the next video as everyone else, but let's not forget the virtue of patience!

[@nickshoumaker3755]

After a shitty day at work i come home and see a new video from you and my day got better :')

[@theDeModcracy]

Happy I could brighten up your day man. Keep your chin up! :)

[@nickshoumaker3755]

oh, i love you senpai ;-)

[@sreisny98]

I appreciate the work that goes into your vids. Keep up the good work.

[@theDeModcracy]

Thanks Sergio! I'll keep working hard on more

[@jacksmith2922]

By far my favourite ranking series! Keep it up dude :)

[@antiactive13]

Aldrich is actually sort of a reference to Orstirn and Smough, because when you kill Aldrich you can buy Smough's armour, where as with every other boss you get their specific armour set from the handmaiden. So maybe Aldrich is actually Smough's soul reborn. They are both cannibals as well, so this theory may just be true.

[@ratoproduction]

i'm a brazillian guy and don't understand one hundred %, it's a good way to train my english and have fun at the same time, Love your videos

[@theDeModcracy]

Your english is very good! I am happy I can help you learn and have fun too. Thank you oi!

[@jacobsvlog6293]

Interesting how you didn’t mention in the Aldrich fight that he’s devouring Gwyndolin and using what’s left of him for an attack

[@Isaac-eg7kf]

DeMod, this series is awesome and I get very excited to see each new episode! Keep it up!

[@theDeModcracy]

Thanks Issac!

[@IzzyZil20]

Yhorm has perhaps one if the best back stories in ds3 in not all of dark souls. Plus when you figure out him and onion bro go way back, and how that encounter ends with their final fight, it really makes it that much better. I always opt to fight with Seigward, even if it makes the fight a breeze.

[@onearmedwolf6512]

i look forward to these videos coming out. you do an excellent job, cant wait for the next one.

[@loganludwig979]

I imagine Cleric beast is a great first boss for dark souls veterans, but I had never played a souls game so had no idea where to go. I accidently stumbled into the Gascoigne fight first. Because of that, I beat Cleric first try and I'm pretty pumped I still have never lost to him.

[@stephenk4030]

Great vid dude! Can't wait to see how my favorite bosses so far rank up!

[@theDeModcracy]

Thanks Stephen. I'm excited too! Who are your favorites?

[@stephenk4030]

+theDeModcracy my favorites have to be Champion Gundyr (spelling?) and Father Gascoigne. Champion Gundyr was such a blast to overcome and same with Gascoigne, after he stopped spamming his pistol! I've had fun with all the bosses in Bloodborne though except the Blood Starved Beast, it's hard to choose!

[@theDeModcracy]

Damn good choices. Can't wait to talk about 'em!

[@Heyprinny]

It's funny how everyone talks about parrying the Blood Starved Beast. Just jump to the left and 90% of its attacks will miss - no parrying required.

[@SapphireTNT]

I find the blood starved beast SO cute his "little" jowels are glorious flopping around

[@dylanjones4298]

I have almost no memories of iudex gundyr, but I have some great ones of vordt. He was my first wall in dark souls, and I love that feeling of chopping him down, now that I got gud.

[@jonahbyers6183]

Every single time I see a new video in this series, I click it straight away. That being said, I'm a bit sad that the entry on Seath was so short. You discussed his lore a fair amount, but nothing about the actual mechanics of the fight. I would have been especially interested to see how you took his curse buildup attacks with your agressive play style.

[@theDeModcracy]

Happy to hear it Jonah! I try to keep a balance with how much I may have focused on mechanics in the difficulty ranking series, since I consider this series supplemental to that one. I'll definitely keep that in mind as I finish up the last few videos though, so thanks for the feedback!

[@StaticYouTubeGaming]

My favorite series right now. Love it!!

[@DoctorSmashman]

My problem with Yhorm was how poorly the Storm Ruler was handled. Dumping it into your inventory and expecting you to both equip it AND figure out how the weapon art worked while you had a hyper-aggressive giant attacking you is pure insanity, and people who didn't play Demon's Souls wouldn't even understand what the weapon art is supposed to do to begin with. This could have easily been solved by designing the whole Profaned Capital a bit better than the obviously rushed version we got. Maybe put the Storm Ruler in some location outside of the boss room so that you have a chance to look it over, and have a wall of fire in front of the fog door that you need to use the weapon art on to pass through. Then, since the designers would know that the player understands how the Storm Ruler works BEFORE facing Yhorm, they could make the fight more of a challenge. Maybe during his second phase, he could actually use the Greatshield he supposedly has to block the Storm Ruler's attacks, forcing the player to fight conventionally and/or wait for the proper timing to get a bit hit from the Storm Ruler in. As it stands, the fight's just a bit of a mess and a lot of wasted potential.

[@Yujitame]

Woooohoo new Souls rankin video! Awesome as always!

[@gamingpython1982]

Yeah! Look forward to these every week!

[@theDeModcracy]

Hope this one was worth the wait Malakye!

[@gamingpython1982]

+theDeModcracy definitely just waiting for what rank the nameless King is going to be!

[@winterdragon2004]

Ah Yhorm. This is a fight I remember well. When I first got Dark Souls 3 after seeing the boss rankings for that game, I swore that I would beat him without the Storm Ruler. When I entered the arena and seigward (my favorite character) came in with me with a storm ruler of his own, I was delighted and pumped. And damn it was a good fight. Seigward would use the storm rulers skill occasionally, but infrequently enough for Yhorm to get in some hits of his own. Between seigwards air blast and my graceful moves with the Farron greatsword, I had a wondrous feeling I hadn't felt since the Abyss Watchers.

[@theDeModcracy]

That sounds like a real great first experience, your write-up paints a nice picture. Thanks for the good read winter!

[@ligondis]

IM STUCK ON ALDRICH TO THIS DAY. Like when I get her to half she gets way harder and shiz. Great video once again! Sorry i was late on the last video :p

[@HarlesBently]

aldrich is male. the feminine look comes from gwyndolin since he was raised as a girl, a boy born of the moon. so yeah aldrich is male and is considered a trap

[@theDeModcracy]

There's real heavy RNG in that fight. Keep at it Six! And no worries man, I always appreciate your support no matter the timing

[@Rexcalibar]

I haven't played much more than a small portion of the original Dark Souls myself, but honestly I think the Flexile Sentry would be the type of fight I would have loved to face myself for the first time.

[@DFMusic811]

When you upload a new addition to the bosses list, I've gotta instantly click as soon as I see it.

[@andrebastos8889]

How many videos of these are left? The feeling of seeing this in the sub box is da best mate

[@theDeModcracy]

3 more to go. #39-25, #24-11, then the top 10 best! Glad you're enjoying the series man :)

[@Monarcha_Mortis]

3 I suppose, 39-25, 24-10 and 10-1

[@lichmen7411]

3 or 4

[@Thomas-hk1xs]

Yes I've been waiting for this. Love this series

[@theDeModcracy]

Happy to hear it Thomas, hope this one's as good as the rest for you!
