The Most Underrated Boss in Every Souls Game (Including Elden Ring)

Today, we're talking about the most underrated bosses from each of the souls games by FromSoftware. This includes Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring. I wanted to list my opinion for the most underrated boss of each game and what I liked best about it because they all have unique combat and other mechanics that set them apart from each other.

[@majorasmask5523]

My favorite boss in DS3 is Champion Gundyr. Very underrated.

[@EmberPlays]

Love champ

[@RampidWarthogStudios]

He’s was so fun

[@aplive58]

I don't think he is underrated. He's considered one of the best in the game by many.

[@tylergalligani6450]

Yeah my favorite too. It's such a well made fight, the animations are incredible, and the visual design is great

[@laevennin]

Who doesn't like champion gundyr? Games been out for a long time and I've never seen anybody say he was bad or ignore him.

[@bigtom6121]

The bell bearing hunters are essentially elemer of the briar with more health, which is nice

[@akaroth7542]

Iir I believe the bell-bearing hunters are Elemer. His original crime was killing merchants.

[@gavfitzpatrick]

Caelid's bearing hunter is harder than most main game bosses

[@rehobalint1100]

they are Elemer. He's just projecting himself from the Shaded Castle

[@Slothhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Demon Princes are definitely underrated in DS3, you nailed that one on the head, the entry and fight are amazing

[@TLRFKL]

awesome fight. I kind of felt like the arena/fight was a homage to both Manus from DS1 and the Burnt Ivory King fight from DS2.

[@liftingdk4096]

the fase 2 transition is amazing too

[@gabrielfehlau8626]

YEEEESS

[@alejohp8725]

I think a posture bar would take the visceral feeling of fights away from ER bosses. It’s a lot less intense if I have a posture bar to shoot for. I prefer it where I don’t know when I’m gonna get that opening - keeps me humble every time I run the game with a new build.

[@EmberPlays]

That's a good point and I'm guessing that's why they didn't add one

[@alejohp8725]

@@EmberPlays Aye. In FromSoft I trust.

[@berryronin6882]

yea the reason why it works in sekiro is because that's basically the basis for the entire game. Without it, trying to find an opening for a deathblow, especially for main bosses, would take a lot more patience

[@leithaziz2716]

I feel like this argument wouldn't hold much weight in the long run. A stun bar would help a lot more people than annoy those who'd ignore it. Stun is already a mechanic in the game. it'd be nice if both parties can keep track of those stats during the fight rather than second-guess. What would be the harm in that?

[@alejohp8725]

[@veratrindye7292]

True Monk is truly incredible. The arena and music are some of FromSoft's finest work. My favourite fights in these games tend to be ones with dance-like cadence and feel - when I saw her make that giant leap and strike a kabuki pose, I knew it was going to be good.

[@HarshManohar]

I feel like if you count him as a boss. Armored Soldier is one of my favourite fights, both lore wise and the fight itself with you having to kick him off the bridge. Truly underrated.

[@sethp26]

Just beat him for the first time today. Such a beautiful setting, definitely agree it feels like a dance. One of my favs so far

[@thelastpersononearth9765]

​@@HarshManoharStrike me all you like, I am unbreakable. I found his English vouce somewhat better. Also, I used to get deathblow everytime but he didn't die, I thought it was a glitch due to using a reshade.

[@PurpleXTiger9]

I personally think Oceiros is the most underrated, his voice acting and cut content involving Ocelotte is insane.

[@SolaScientia]

Seriously. I knew it was disturbing from what I'd seen and heard, but fighting him myself made it hit differently. I'm not sure if I was overleveled a bit or what, but he was a tad easier than I was expecting. He killed me on my first attempt and then I spent 10 or so minutes taking potshots at the 2 massive knights guarding the way to him. I do love how much stuff the hid behind his arena too.

[@AsAugustSleeps]

Agreed. He is one of the few bosses that is genuinely terrifying to fight. His fast move set really emphasizes how vicious and animalistic he has become. Top tier.

[@elliot157]

Absolutely that fight is so much fun every time. It's pretty easy so I never really die to it but it's still just a very mechanically well designed boss

[@davidnewhart2533]

I was gonna say Demon of Hatred for Sekiro, but I forgot about True Corrupted Monk. That's a pretty underrated boss as well.

[@shreksmeatballs9435]

Demon of Hatred is more overhated than underrated. My personal favourite fight in the game, due to the lore, music, visuals, and fight itself. True Corrupted Monk would definitely be second tho.

[@Fusible_1]

Who the heck likes demon of hatred?

[@leithaziz2716]

I once stated The Demon Prince to be the most underrated boss in all of Souls, it's nice seeing that fight get the recognition it deserves. I also fully agree on Godrick. I'm not a fan of most bosses in Elden Ring, but he easily took the spot as my favorite fight. He deals reasonable damage which makes it an interesting back and forth instead of a constant vigor check, most of his attacks are well telegraphed with not much unusual delay, he's the source behind some great memes and has an awesome 2nd phase transition. I wish more ER fights were as fun as Godrick.

[@RemzyXO]

Dragonslayer Armor is definitely the most underrated for me in DS3.

[@shadysorkin9214]

If it wasnt for the aoe effect the dragons do in phase 2 being so poorly telegraphed I would agree

[@AxisCorpsRep]

honestly Godrick to me is like the Abyss Watchers in DS3, an objectively easy fight but everything within it is so well put together that its a fight i really wish was more difficult or lasted longer, each is an absolutely wonderful spectacle. it is plainly way too fun to be over that quickly

[@Al-ji4gd]

Abyss Watchers are way easier than Godrick. If you fight both at an appropriate level, Abyss Watchers are still a piece of cake, whereas Godrick can F you up if you're not careful. Still not difficult, but definitely not an ''easy'' fight, IMO.

[@rahndel2364]

Lol, “objectively easy fight”. DS3 was my first souls game and I spent 5-6 hours on abyss watchers, definitely the hardest main boss in that game for me. I don’t think there’s much objectivity regarding boss difficulty.

[@umopaplsdn_]

there is no such thing as objective difficulty, statements like this are why I can't take the word "objective" seriously. I've seen countless accounts of the Watchers being the most difficult boss in a playthrough

[@firetitan1978]

@@rahndel2364 it’s completely different based on your experience

[@whateverusername]

I never played any souls games before Elden Ring, and watching my friend fight Godrick and seeing the phase change cutscene was the moment where I was like "I NEED to play this game." Cutting off a dragon's head and using it as a flamethrower is just another level of badass.

[@OmneAurumNon]

DS2 was my first souls game, and the pursuer was the first boss I ever got stuck on (since the last giant is a bit of a pushover). It took me a really long time to beat him, but I learned so much about how to play souls games, and when I finally got him it was super satisfying. Dragon Slayer Armor is definitely an underrated boss as well. One of my favorite in DS3.

Mine for Elden Ring is probably "Dragonkin Soldier of Nokstella" I think by the time peoplenreached this boss if they even reached it at all, they were overlevelled and did not find the fight that fun. ME on the other hand was just the right level but also a newbie(first souls game after sekiro for me) wasnt familiar with sharpness not being effective against armored bosses so this took me some time but it is probably my favorite sideboss in entirety of Elden Ring. That phase 2 transition hit hard when it started flying around and everything. Cool boss

Elemer is absolutely amazing, but I definitively didn't think he was easy, in fact he gave me more trouble than most bosses in the game... love his style, he looks more like a horror movie villain than a knight in a medieval world and I love that, specially how he appears randomly near merchants at night. If he had gotten a unique theme it would have been even better.

My personal DS3 underrated and probably up there in my favourite bosses would be Dragonslayer armour mostly cause I feel from the game it comes from I find it to be one of the few plain and fair bosses (no extra gimmicks no suprised just you and the boss) I also find the trick move it has to be funny as well as a nice suprise. Also happy to fight it a second time in Ringed City

[@Salahuoneen_lapsi]

Good list Ember! Here is my list: Demon Souls: Penetrator Dark Souls 1: Iron Golem Dark Souls 2: Old Dragonslayer Dark Souls 3: Dragonslayer Armour Elden Ring: Godrick the Grafted (and Godskin Apostle for miniboss) Haven't played Bloodbourne or Sekiro yet so can't really rank them.

[@Salahuoneen_lapsi]

​@MinecraftLapsedd That's right. There is a lot of top tier bosses in DS3 and I have seen too many tier lists where Dragonslayer Armour is put to like C-tier(??). Lately I have seen some Champion Gundyr disrespect also so he might be underrated too.

They are plain horror! Thank you for that!

[@bunklypeppz]

I think Gaping Dragon is a good choice for DS1 on this list, but the other fight from that game that I think is particularly underrated is the Iron Golem. I like the creepy design of the golem, being such a giant humanoid with a tiny head wearing shiny armor-- it makes you kind of wonder if there's any sort of humanity inside that suit of armor or if it is just a soulless monstrosity. Also I think the arena you fight him in is very cool, being on a dangerously narrow walkway at the top of Sen's Fortress, a dungeon which felt to me a lot like some kind of forest temple from Zelda, having a sense of mystery surrounding it and making me wonder what would be waiting for me when I reached the top.

[@trharrington22]

Can you please do the most over hated bosses? I always think about Yhorm. A lot of players hated on him for being a gimmick boss, but I look forward to it every playthrough

[@Johnny.1994]

Lady Butterfly is the most underrated boss in Sekiro for me. It's easy yes, but the choreography, arena and fight itself is beautiful. One of my favorite bosses

[@jamesgratz4771]

[@StRodeNL]

To me the most slept on boss in Elden Ring is definitely Commander Naill. The knights were never an issue to me since one is so aggressive and the other so passive It's just 2 1v1s, and his 2nd phase is just awesome. He feels so fair yet so aggressive with a moveset that rewards aggression from the player which I love. Sure he's a bit easy, but other than that I just love this boss.

He actually has a bit more to him if you look into it

[@Maybelater1018]

[@Bethynaee]

I'm glad to find someone who appreciates Godrick as much as I do, seeing him for the first time after fighting through Stormveil was so cool, especially when phase 2 started, that set the tone for the entire game for me and told me I was in for something truly special.

[@mazukai6525]

Armored warrior in Sekiro his lore is awesome and way of killing him is way different than any other fight

[@okacz19]

Borealis would be my pick for Elden Ring. Regular dragon fights are so fun in this game, and this is the ultimate one, with a cinemati "frozen lake" twist and dangerous frost moves. The intro to this boss, with you riding Torrent straight at his screaming jaws through the fog, is just epic. Kudos for bringing up Shadows of Yharnam, brilliantly paced boss.

[@oakleyraverty1030]

Idk, in my totally anecdotal experience it suffers from Elden Rings hyper scaling. My first encounter with Borealis was at night. I rode onto the lake I heard the boss music and saw the health bar, couldn't see the boss or lock on in the dark mist, tried to continue riding, got one shot from the frost breath that appeared out of nowhere with no warning out of the mist which it looked almost identical too

[@supremeclamitas5053]

​@@oakleyraverty1030 I really don't like this saying, but I feel like that if you got oneshot, you didn't have very high vigor. Could be wrong, could've been weird horse hitboxes and an unlucky frost proc and your point is still valid.

[@oakleyraverty1030]

@@supremeclamitas5053 I mean sure, but I either had 50 or 60 vig + Erdtree Favour +1(I think), so it probably was a frost proc , but either way there was very little counterplay.

[@minerman60101]

@@oakleyraverty1030 I know the rot dragon has a big nearly unavoidable attack where it breathes a big rot cloud right in front of him, so that might've been what you saw with Borealis. Also make sure you weren't using Radagon's Soreseal; those reduce your damage negation and are a noob trap since they become hinderances in the lategame as the extra vigor gets overshadowed by that downside.

[@sirith9157]

Godrick is definitely the most underrated boss in Elden Ring. Margit may be a gatekeeper but Godrick is a tester of your game knowledge. Dude have literally everything you need to know from jumping attacks to posture breaking. And on the topic of posture breaking. I don't think it's a good idea to put a posture bar in the Elden Ring UI. In Sekiro posture breaking was the main focus, while in ER downing HP is main focus - breaking posture is a playstyle. It's a absolutely fun playstyle but not everyone use it. It's like having a cookies in front of your face but being not allowed to eat them because you don't do something (not using heavy attacks or "heavier" spells) And the sound of poise breaks... It's like slapping a boss with a nuke in the face. 10/10, best mechanic in Elden Ring. Sekiro is amazing but great hammer in the face is more satisfying for me

[@vidhusharma9452]

Demon princes I feel are on a redemption arc in the community. And rightfully so, I love that fight. And corrupted monk is an awesome fight as well that needs more recognition.

[@BigAssPelican]

Every take in this is 👌👌👌👌

[@astrealove2247]

A boss that's actually slept on in DS3 is Iudex Gundyr, the very first boss of the game. And the reason for that is that it shows you most, if not all major mechanics that the game throws at you, Iudex is arguably the best tutorial boss in any of the games. First of all he's parryable, secondly he has a 2nd phase and you really learn a lot from fighting him, like the fact that you can hit him before the fight even starts and also during the transition to phase 2, since you get 20-30 seconds of free damage during the fight, you learn to jump in and take advantage of the bosses downtime.

[@SolaScientia]

He's also tough while being fair. He's not an insurmountable wall like some bosses. He's faster without being extremely fast. I learned more from him than I have from any other tutorial bosses in their games. Asylum Demon is far too easy in DS1 and doesn't really teach much. Same for that Grafted Scion boss in Elden Ring. Well, I guess Margit is technically a tutorial boss, but with the game being open world, there really isn't a tutorial boss for that game. Oh, that soldier in the tutorial cave area and that was just far too easy to count for anything. The Cleric Beast and Father Gascoigne are good in Bloodborne, but they're also not really tutorial bosses. Cleric Beast can be treated like a faster Dark Souls boss. Gascoigne teaches the player how to fight against other hunters, but then changes tune when he transforms into a beast. But neither boss really shows the player anything all that new compared to what they've been fighting on the way to each boss.

It has no real story (except for "probably a Dragon crashed into the Underground and corrupted there"), the fight is really easy and it is an optional boss aswell, but I still love it. it just has this feeling of "dungeon exploring". Also the boss actually gets kinda hard if you are cursed, because then he will probably one-shot you with every touch.

The Shadows of Yharnam is my favorite gank boss in all of Soulsborne and any other soulslike.

I never really understood why people liked them so much. It's just three late game enemies in a room. In any other Souls game people would think it was beyond lazy.

[@CaptainKaz44]

Champion Gundyr is one of my all-time favorite Souls boss fights; the music, the move set, the whole fight is epic.

[@Al-ji4gd]

I agree with a lot of this. Demon Prince is one of the best bosses in DS3 and hardly anyone talks about it. I think it's far more enjoyable than certain other fan favourites that I don't really like that much, such as Friede and Midir that, IMO, really only get rated highly because of their difficulty and not much else.

Was really hoping to see Micolash in the Bloodborne section. The mechanics of a boss fight are top priority ofc, but you can't tell me Micolash doesn't go extra hard in terms of atmosphere and all that external drive to squash him.

[@SolaScientia]

Agreed. At seeing the Shadows on the list I'd forgotten about Micolash. He took me just 2 attempts and on my first attempt he led me right to the first room and then again in phase 2 where he then killed me with that Call Beyond because I really mistimed a dodge. On my second attempt, however, he led me on a merry chase for at least 5 minutes before he went to the first room and then for phase 2 he again led me all over the place. I saved that clip and that fight was nearly 10 minutes with probably at least 8 minutes being me chasing his chickenshit ass around his library. I do love all the talking he does and the mocking howls and such.

Shadows of Yharnam.. second phase? This is the first time I learn about this.

[@piercegormley8644]

Twin princes and D-slayer armor were my favorite summons for sure, but the demon prince is definitely the first thing that comes to mind on underrated bosses in souls for me

[@zakanyimen]

I think The corrupted 2nd phase instakill is intentional . That is why she kinda has 3 phase and not being a main boss. She only appears when you stand on a certain branch. And it's execute animation is unique. It is not like you can encounter a normal enemy variant in the open fields. If it wasn't intended one of them would be patched out.

[@jcharr1]

I remember before it was released, From showed a demo of that fight and mentioned there being a secret way to finish it faster. So I'm pretty sure it's intentional. The 1st phase one wasn't though. I'm pretty sure that one got patched out.

[@makiiavely]

the shadows of yharnam fight is brutal on ng+ and beyond because each shadow gets a health bar that is pretty much that of a regular boss so it's like fighting three actual bosses at the same time that deal crazy damage

[@JohnDWJ]

You want a mini-boss rematch turned up to 11 in Elden Ring, go to the merchant shack in Caelid at night. The Bell Bearing Hunter comes and he is rough. Mind you, there are others, but the guy in Caelid comes at you like you stole his lunch.

[@celestialnoon]

It’s so interesting to see people discuss which bosses were harder for them. In Elden Ring for example. Malenia is almost unanimously difficult, but I personally died to the Briar Guy several times and absolutely wrecked a lot of the endgame bosses minus Malenia and Godfrey

I completed Bloodborne for the first time earlier this week and it was a hell of a ride. I love the Shadow of Yharnam fight. I managed to kill them on my first attempt and I did go into that fight terrified. I was more scared of having to do the run back to them if I got killed. I chewed through my blood vials like mad, but I handled the fight pretty well. I'm not sure I actually saw the snake summon at all when I was down to just 1 Shadow. Even though I was outnumbered it never felt unfair. Now, the gank fight of the Living Failures majorly sucked for me. I couldn't get a handled on the fight and ended up summoning Yamamura to help me with them. I'm also finally to both DLC in DS3. I took a break from it to complete Bloodborne, but I made it all the way through the main game before I stopped to refocus on Bloodborne. I've seen others fight the Demon Princes and I'm rather excited for it. It definitely gets slept on. I play offline and while I know I can summon Laap and/or Gael for it, I might try it solo for a bit. Even though it being 2v1 worries me a bit. I am going to look up the fight again before I get there so that I can remember which one to try to kill first. I'd rather fight the Demon Prince with the laser than the Demon Prince with the meteor attacks. I hated those things in Smoldering Lake and would rather not deal with a boss doing that attack at me. I had a lot of fun with Dragonslayer Armor and his music is among the best in a game already filled with great music. Champion Gundyr was a rough fight (with an annoying af run to get to him), but it was fun. I tried parrying him, but I think I was slightly off with the timing or just too far away, because I'd parry him but then the game wouldn't let me land the critical on him. I'm going to see if I'm better at parries in DS3 since fighting Lady Maria and the Orphan of Kos taught me how to parry in Bloodborne. Godrick was initially impressive, but if I ever fight him again (I'm a bit burned out on Elden Ring and I'm nowhere near the end of it) I'm going to do it differently. I went in with Nepheli (the woman NPC we can summon) and summoned Aurelia the jellyfish. I killed him on my first attempt and it honestly wasn't even me. That woman got in the final hit. I can't tell if bringing her and using the jellyfish spirit made the fight too easy or if I was overleveled or if it was a combination of factors, but that fight was far too easy for what I was expecting. Same for Radahn. I went in again scared and I think he took me just 4 attempts, and I didn't even summon that many of the NPCs to help. As for Sekiro, I'm going back to that one once I've finished DS3. I need to be able to properly focus on that game and be able to completely get the muscle memory down without interference from other FromSoftware games.

Demons souls - I feel like most people would put penetrator at 2nd or 3rd, so I don’t really see how he’s underrated, I honestly think Phalanx is the most underrated, it’s a generic group of enemies boss but the way you handle it is pretty interesting and it’s one of the few bosses in the game where you have to think to defeat it. DS1 - I feel like very few people would fight gaping dragon on repeat runs because they would just skip the depths all together, overall the bosses in DS1 are pretty bad besides Ornstein and Smough, so I’d probably give it to anything you enjoy besides Bed of Chaos. DS2 - Same with DS1 and Demons Souls how all the bosses are extremely easy or just generic, anything really works here, I’d say Demon of Song, he’s just cool, and that’s really all. BB - Totally agree, one of the few base game bosses I actually enjoy. DS3 - 100% Agree, was my all time fav boss for a bit, 5th fav out of all the games too. ER - Honestly, Malenia. All I really hear is how hard she is, rarely do I really hear the praise of how fair and balanced she is as a boss, she’s extremely satisfying to dodge, and super fun to fight, not to mention ironically one of the most fair fights ever made by FromSoft, easily my fav boss out of all the games.

[@jakubpuawski3875]

cool list! I definitely agree on Godrick being the most underrated main boss in ER, for me he's just the best boss in the game, period, with Godfrey being a close second. As for the minibosses, though, I'd have to go with the Fallingstar Beast, the Caelid version is not great due to the arena, but the fight at the top of Mt Gelmir is just pure perfection, especially if you get there underleveled hard agree on Sekiro as well, it's kinda funny, since I absolutely hated the false Corrupted Monk due to the absurd posture recovery, but the true version was awesome many good points on the earlier games, Demon Princes are now starting to get the love they deserve (esp after people saw how bad duo fights can be in ER), but were definitely overlooked at launch

[@minerman60101]

I've only fought the Caelid one after it got downgraded to a normal Fallingstar Beast as opposed to the full grown variant, and I found the arena fine. In my RL1 run I've killed it and the one in Altus, and the Caelid one's arena made it a bit easier to be honest; I had more control over the fight and better opportunity to apply pressure and get poise breaks.

[@daith_izumi]

I believe that Halflight is an underrated fight. It’s not bad, the boss music is epic, and it doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. It gets so hated on despite not being a bs bossfight

[@SolaScientia]

Probably because it's an Old Monk scenario for the players playing online and having to fight another player as a boss and dealing with lag and such. I'm not yet to that fight (just started the DS3 DLC), but since I play these games offline I'll be able to fight actual Halflight and not another player. The other issue might be from the 3 Painted Guardians that get summoned in and just how much damage they can do (how easily they and Halflight can stunlock the player).

[@EldenLord737]

We need the best soundtracks in every souls games video .

[@TheLastPrime38]

The false Monk is super underrated to me. Idk what it is about that fight, but I looked forward to it on every playthrough of Sekiro

[@deez5946]

Corrupted monk is my favorite boss from sekiro, something about the disproportionate large body, while also being incredibly fast is super cool/weird Reminds me of that chick from Igor

[@nihilisticinquisition7150]

Congrats for the 100k, glad to see your outro-game is paying off!

[@EmberPlays]

Thank you!!!

[@thiccsmoke6907]

Can we please get something other than a boss tier list? There is so much to dark souls than just bosses man

[@creviosso9216]

personal list Demon's Souls: Armored Spider- It's an easy fight but a very unique and memorable tug of war I really enjoyed Dark Souls 1: Manus, yes he's always dubbed as the hardest, yes he isn't forgotten, but compared to Kalameet and Artorias, he's overlooked in the DLC and I personally love its change of pace. Dark Souls 2: Meh Dark souls 3: I agree with the Demon Princes honestly Sekiro: GYOBU MASATAKA ONIWA!! However Fire Isshin could also go here Elden Ring: True Latenna/Astel

[@Outmind01]

You can trivialize the shadow bit in the Sekiro true monk fight by using the umbrella prosthetic imbued with the power to protect against the supernatural. Just unfold it and watch as they bash helplessly against it.

[@panamike6178]

Dang the demon souls boss could pass for a Shardbearer from the Stormlight archives. If you come across this message, I'd Highly recommend either listening or reading a book called, "The Way of Kings" it's an epic masterpiece.
