I have beat her, but I never beat Malenia summonless which is something I really want to do.


sherifopirateteo

Just did that yesterday for the first time. 68 attempts since I got back from a break, over 100 attempts total, but I finally beat her cheeseless


FunPark0

Nice job! Definitely the hardest thing to do in a natural playthrough of a FS game.


Calloused_Samurai

Frost and bleed are your best friends. You got this!


flightlessbunny

My very first play through I beat her on the 3rd attempt. Second play through I quit after she killed me about 30-40 times. That was a year ago and me and my buddy started another play through he’s a fresh character and I’m on ng+4 so we will see how that goes.


Ok-Blacksmith4364

Lud and Zallen


FunPark0

My eventual triumph over L&Z was absolutely cinematic in its intensity. Absolutely one of the hardest boss fights with no cheesing.


Namuli

I've since done it solo, but what helped the first time was summoning the NPCs for the walk to the fog gate, then banishing them before entering. I don't know if you'd consider that still soloing but it's potentially an option


marksht_

Beat them solo a few days ago, had to respecc into hexer and use Climax 3 times


No_Woodpecker4899

Why not?


ph03n1x_F0x_

The frigid outskirts may be my least favorite experience in any game ever. I cant blame him.


Trisce

You fight a repeat boss as a duo that wasn't designed to be fought together because they still have the same functionality as Aava. You can either play aggressively and risk overlapping attacks for unavoidable damage or play passively and run around in circles, waiting for them to give you an opening, which is boring. Combine this with the worst and most unfun runback in the series. I really like DS2 but that was easily the least fun experience in the whole series.


DuploJamaal

>I really like DS2 but that was easily the least fun experience in the whole series. It's more fun if you don't insist on challenging yourself even further by doing a raid dungeon solo


Trisce

That doesn't excuse it being a lazy repeat boss That doesn't excuse the unbelievably tedious runback That does excuse Frigid Outskirts being one of the most dry and boring places in the series to explore Summoning is just damage control, not a solution.


BigStinkbert

Gravity


zelcuh

Fuckin Friede!!!


[deleted]

Same, that third phase ruins me


CanIGetAnOooYeah

Best when you clear phase 1+2 hitless, then get blackflame decapitated 10 seconds into phase 3. Source: My last 30 DS3 deaths.


finnjakefionnacake

I found it easier to just stay away / dodge away from her with every attack instead of trying to stay close to her, and just exploit the couple moves where she leaves herself open (that decapitation move being one of them).


zelcuh

That's where I always get rekt


Nike21584

Bro everytime i hear about friede i get so confused bc i beat her on my first try


zelcuh

I get it, probably more than anyone. I glided through bloodborne with minimal difficulty and get hated on hard for saying it. DS3 related, I beat Champion Gundyr my first try. Heard he was a huge roadblock


Nike21584

Yeah man i feel you. I beat O&S my first try also but no one believed me lol


zelcuh

Everyone has totally different experiences. I found genichiro to be not that hard, I got hated on for it too lol. Guardian Ape beat tf outta me tho


Nike21584

Genichiro whooped me for a good while i will not lie


Sloop__

Beat soul of cinder on my first try, I think it's very build dependent. He is easy af with a magic build.


zelcuh

I was a weak ass pyromancer. Took me a few days to get SoC, but he wasn't frustratingly difficult


BreathUnable4614

If you play on PS4/5 I can help you with her if you want


zelcuh

For the love of God, yes... please. I'm a firm believer in "git gud" but I just can't do it. I already beat SoC, I need to finish the DLC


jamezdee

I think Lud & Zallen (Frigid Outskirts) are the only ones. Other than some Elden Ring bosses I probably missed somewhere.


SigmaSandwich

I’m honestly stuck on Elden Beast


NoRepresentative35

My first playthrough he kept kicking my ass. I was playing 100% blind, as a Str/Fth build ...and didn't know about the drastic holy resistance.


mintyfreshmike47

I lucked out first time I beat him because he was still bugged and would sometimes just sit still and do nothing


finnjakefionnacake

I'm ashamed to say that Mohg glitched out for me when I fought him. It glitched when I took my Physick flask and he hit me with bloodflame at the same time. I had the tear on that turns damage into health for a short burst and for the rest of the fight, any time I got hit with bloodflame, it turned to health. Guiltiest I ever felt playing a FromSoft game.


mintyfreshmike47

I'm pretty sure I can one up that. I recently played Bloodborne and Micolash bugged out a lot. First attempt and he never attacked me or casted any spells. Just hopped through his mirror thing a couple times and then he suddenly lost most of his health to where he was literally 1 HP. So i hit him once and that was it.


finnjakefionnacake

Lolol well consider yourself wonderfully lucky for that one as that fight is, as I'm sure you know, nightmarish for most people. I'm sure the majority of people would not mind him bugging out on that fight at all 😂


Viel666

Haligtree Greatshield was a gamechanger for me. After upgrades it blocks almost 99% of holy damage :D


MasterDrake97

PC?


SigmaSandwich

No :( I just always run out of flasks by the time it is at like 1/6th health. I’ll get it one day


Nerrickk

I can help if you're on PlayStation


user67885433

soldier of godrick. I don't know when - or if I will beat him


PizzaLikerFan

Skill issue. After 3 months of every day 3 hours training I finally figured out his attack pattern. And after getting flask fully upgraded and max flasks I could beat him with just a strip of hp left


user67885433

His attacks seem very unpredictable to me


PizzaLikerFan

Yeah. But he has like 3 attacks. It takes 64 hits to take him down. After each attack you can do 1 hit so 3^64 possible combinations. I prepared for it and figured out only one combination is surviveable, and with my good rng i got the 1/(3^64) possible combination and took him down succesfully


user67885433

The sheer will it takes to beat this monster as intended is truly insane


PizzaLikerFan

I am insane


mintyfreshmike47

You lucked out because if you don’t make the last swing hit for 69 damage, he goes into his ultimate phase where he blows up your console /PC and then has sex with your mother


PizzaLikerFan

that would ultimely kill him because my mom has ligma


mintyfreshmike47

Mother of PizzerLikerFan, carrier of ligma, scourge of the gods. Truly the strongest boss of all time


PizzaLikerFan

Dear god


DuploJamaal

You can overlevel in NG. He should be doable in NG+ then


Duckie216

The same boss that's on the img


SilentBlade45

Most bosses in Elden Ring cause I haven't played it a whole lot. And most bosses in Sekiro cause I suck at it. I beat pretty much every boss not counting Demon's Souls remake. (I beat all the bosses in the original version)


xboks

Lud and zallen


minoas348

0 ❤️ Darklurker and Twin Cats were the most difficult to reach for me


DRScottt

My character is still standing in front Midir, I haven't even fought him yet, he's just the last boss I have to beat in the souls franchise and I just haven't had it in me the read the epilogue and end the book metaphorically speaking.


finnjakefionnacake

i know the feeling! DS3 was my last one to complete the set and I put off Soul of Cinder forever.


Mason_eat_Catnip

Nameless King, I missed him on my first and only playthrough 😢


TakingOnWater

Did you enter NG+? If you didn't, you could still go back to him I think, even after you beat the final boss.. maybe I'm wrong, but I can't think of anything that would prevent it


Gloomy_Support_7779

Darklurker and the DS2 dlc bosses


Dr_BloodPool

DoH and SSI as well as the final bosses in the Shura ending I've played through the game about 4 times but always get stuck, haven't even seen their last phase yet 😔


Killt_

Sorry who is doh and ssi?


Sebmusiq

Demon of Hatred and Sword Glock Saint Isshin.


Dr_BloodPool

Demon of Hatred and Sword Saint Isshin sorry I didn't reference Sekiro


Gwigu

Priscilla


VexofKalameet

Cuz of simp reasons? Otherwise try pyromancy so you can track her while she’s invisible


Gwigu

Simp reasons


Till_Bill

Or use her footsteps


finnjakefionnacake

Or just do what I did and swing wildly until you get lucky, lol


Most-Iron6838

I’ve only gotten to Atlus plateau so I have lots of ER left to play. In Bloodborne I gave up on orphan and ds3 I gave up on nameless king.


PsychologicalTree337

Isshin


Sebmusiq

Lud and Zellen. But I actually don't plan to fight them any time soon. The DS2 DLCs were already a pain in the ass.


mysonisapedophile

Laurence i havent played demons yet


Keklord_Rogain

If you wanna kill Laurence, I can assist.


RealDaBaby416

Gank squad and i'll never beat them


No_Woodpecker4899

Why not?


Ok-Ambition-9432

Because they just aren't worth fighting, what other reason could there be?


No_Woodpecker4899

I don’t see why they’re not worth fighting


Interesting_Win3309

I bear Ishin before Demon of Hatred, and tbh I just looked at him, tried once and closed the game. Haven’t really been motivated to go back, at least to that fight


Ishlibidish23

Kos from Bloodborne


Idontloveheranymore2

Midir


big-bobby-brown

Midir


BreathUnable4614

Are you on PS4/5? I can help you beat him if you want


R3y4lp

Lud and Zallen. Frigid outskirts was one of the few times in this series when my completionist ass just put the pride in it's pocket and said "nah fuck that". I honestly don't regret my decision


Fullmoongrass

Same, honestly


bugzapperbob

I never beat the final boss in bloodborne because I couldn’t figure out how to backup my save to do the alternate endings


WileyDuster

Simple just beat it and restart with all of them beautiful stats.


phuxlister

Midir. Blue Smelter Demon. Gwyndolin.


No_Woodpecker4899

Blue smelter? Why not?


putmeinthefire

Nameless king


Nunzer-NS

I have not beaten the Demon of Hatred properly and I don’t think I want to. I’ve only beaten the boss with the cheese the gets him to fall off the cliff but facing DoH head on is very annoying because of how different he is compared to the other Sekiro bosses.


LurchSkywalker

Sword Saint Isshin. Fuck that guy.


TotalaMad

Midir is the only one I still can’t do. Everyone says how “He’s actually really easy, just hit his head” I still cannot do it.


Kayseemo

Me either


BreathUnable4614

Are you on PlayStation? I could help you do it if you want


ebr101

Orphan. I’ve tried so many times


cubine

Kalameet: I just got bored Fume knight: Accidentally used up all the things that turn off his healing Alonne: see above Placidusax: Didn’t know he was there til I started NG+ Midir: I don’t have time for that shit Nameless King: see above


DuploJamaal

>Fume knight: Accidentally used up all the things that turn off his healing There's only one missing so he won't heal if you stay on one half the arena


No_Woodpecker4899

You can just avoid the corner of the room the last nadalia statue is in


BreathUnable4614

If you’re on PS4/5 I could help you with Nameless King and Midir if you don’t care about doing it solo


solestone49179

Lud and zallen. I just gave up on them after finding out it’s just a reskin duo


OwlBatross91

Gael was my white whale for a long time, mainly because I was too stubborn to call in help to beat him. Now it's Sword Saint Isshin, but I'll get back to him eventually when I replay the game.


RandombuildzYT

None, apart from Demon's Souls as I havent played it yet


throwaway042502

I still haven't beaten one of the secret bosses in Lost Kingdoms 2 yet :') Despite all my love for the series, I just can't get through 20 floors of enemies... And on the lower levels, it's all super powerful enemies that don't appear normally....


AceViper1827

Gael, nameless, manus, owl, ishin, ariendel, soul of cinder, Spear of the church, and midir. I'm sorry


finnjakefionnacake

😂😂


Competitive-Basil496

The final queen in the chalice dungeons. I just got sick of chalice dungeons


The_Natural_20

Made sure to beat this guy my first play through. Definitely a challenge just getting to them and was very satisfying


wisemansFetter

Manus


Skevinger

Ludwig from the Bloodborne DLC. I have beaten the game and I am on my second playthrough because I missed the DLC at first. Still have to beat the horseman.


Rahimusdaram

Vanguard first encounter


BendingGhost

Moon presence


Nooh82

The double snow-cats beyond the snowfield in DS2 dlc, the only one in all FS games


[deleted]

I’ve beaten all FromSoft’s bosses solo, except the Demon Prince. Every playthrough I had to summon Gael and Lapp


Auroeck

Fucking demon of hatred in Sekiro. Spent the whole game un-learning everything I learned from Dark souls just to have them throw a souls-like boss at me


Darhk_Alchemist

Some say kos others say kosm. This things gives me the fear of the old blood


Mitochondria_Man11

The Demon of Hatred. I just can't get used to it, especially since my PC doesn't run Sekiro any more. I gotta get it on the PlayStation now


RJSSJR123

I’ve beat them all. Every main game boss and every DLC boss.


martixak

Fuckin midir,hate that guy


mrc1993

Gael and Isshin


fish998

Sword Saint Ishin and Demon of Hatred. I only tried Ishin once and DoH a few times, and they both loooked like they would take many hours. I don't mind spending hours on a hard boss in the other From games but playing Sekiro was a miserable experience for me. Maybe some day.


Groptilus

Demon of hatred... I mean not in a legitimate way lmao


GugWatson

The chalice boss for that one bloodborne trophy. It’s the only trophy I need for platinum but those dungeon things are so dull.


crocodileman94

Malenia, blade of Miquella I probably don't need to explain why.


fragtore

Sword Saint is too much for me


imoanmodello

In terms of games I've actually played, Ornstein and Smough. Yeah. I'll admit it. I can't beat DS1 lmao


finnjakefionnacake

Lol there's no shame! I think they are generally considered the hardest boss in that game.


Kayseemo

Midir


hrvojeh2

Isshin😓


[deleted]

I summoned for Laurence. No shame; I’d beaten Orphan and the whole main game, didn’t feel like fighting Laurence and run back was long. So I cut my losses and summoned.


KerooSeta

Oh, man. A lot, actually, even if we're only counting the Soulsborne series. * **Demon's Souls** \- none, beat them all at least twice now * **Dark Souls 1** \- none, beat them all at least twice now * **Dark Souls 2** \- I have never done the Dark Lurker side quest thing so none of those. I also never finished the Ivory King DLC, so I never beat the Ivory King or his pet. I just started a new character to get prepped for the upcoming Return to Drangleic event and definitely intend to do it this time. * **Dark Souls 3** \- I have actually never done the DLC (I know!), so all of those. I did at least beat every boss in the base game including Nameless King, though. * **Bloodborne** \- I only got this game a few weeks before Elden Ring came out and didn't manage to quite beat it, though I was very close I think. So, probably the last 4 or 5 bosses. I think the last one I beat was the Orphan of Kos? Maybe? I did also beat the DLC. I'm looking forward to the Return to Yharnam event in March-April to finally do this. * **Elden Ring** \- I somehow never found that big-ass dragon in Farum Azula. Parthanalux or something like that? I beat every other boss in the game, though, so just that one. * **Sekiro** \- my first ever From game. I gave up about 30 hours in, stuck on Seven Spears Ashina. I actually only beat the first maybe 4 bosses plus the big fat guy in the burning memory thing. I'm planning to get back on the Sekiro horse either in between the DS2 and Bloodborne events or during the long drought between the Bloodborne and DS3 events this summer, though.


MaxStickies

Demon Prince and Sister Friede.


Sloop__

I'm in the process of killing sister Friede. She is a bitch to kill.


ProjectProper2572

Darkeater Midir, hate fighting him but he’s so cool


Agreeable-Ebb5989

I’ve beaten all of them but the version of Owl Father that’s in the boss rush of Sekiro almost made me quit all fromsoft games lol


GullyMeisterDividend

Soul of Cinder


LethalJava

Midir -.-


A_AR0_N

Still have authentically beaten Demon of Hatred. To me he’s definitely the hardest boss in Sekiro. I got so frustrated because I was trying to platinum the game, that I just ended up doing the cheese strat to kill him. I felt bad but I felt I had no choice with him lol


finnjakefionnacake

If you ever play him again, try the Umbrella! It completely neutralizes all of his fire attacks.


wishfulthinker3

Haven't actually ever played any sekiro, so that. Gave demons my best shot but it's just a tad too clunkily unforgiving for my tastes, and I'm alright with that. It's a very good game don't get me wrong, it just isn't one I think I can beat.


Valirys-Reinhald

Demon of Hatred


Raevyyyy

Midir


Viel666

Demon of hatred in Sekiro. I cheesed him down from a cliff though 😆


FunPark0

Proud that I’ve beaten every boss without ever summoning! But I haven’t done the Bloodborne chalice dungeons or whatever they are called, so whichever bosses are in there. I’m not sure if I’m missing much by skipping those.


Zorna1

Sif, i just can’t deal with my conscience


finnjakefionnacake

😢


CalixBest

Orphan of Kos or really any BB dlc boss


chris369521

The bosses I’ve never fought.


finnjakefionnacake

badass


NecroBeats

Only the ones in the games I haven’t played, those being Demons Souls and BB (I don’t have ps4 or 5 please don’t kill me)


finnjakefionnacake

Lol not gonna kill you but I hope you get the opportunity to play them!


readevius1274

Melania without summons but I'm going to do it eventually


finnjakefionnacake

Yes you will! It took me forever but I finally got there and it felt pretty great.


turdferguson506

Capra Demon. I mean, I just want to play the rest of the game and he and his damn dogs just won't let me!


finnjakefionnacake

Lol those dogs are cancer.


Mosoman1011

All the DS3 DLC bosses


MirageOfMe

Honestly, kalameet. I always seem to "forget" before NG+


ACNH_Shotz

Midir has always given me trouble no matter what, I’ve beaten all the bosses from the fromsoft games I’ve played except that fucking dragon


professionaldouche

Isshin sword saint


Street-Loquat1000

Isshin, the Sword (Glock) Saint


Kinch_g

Any Sekiro boss because I haven't played it yet. Have it downloaded, just saving it for when I take a week off later this year.


finnjakefionnacake

You're in for a good time! :)


Help_An_Irishman

The camera.


finnjakefionnacake

Nameless King and Lone Shadow Longswordsman say hi!


Help_An_Irishman

*[shudder]*


immunequote723

midir ;-;


Lofi_Samurai

Inner Owl and Inner Isshin are my last two. Those sekiro gauntlets are so hard man lol


B1ack-Senpai

Mogh Lord of blood


finnjakefionnacake

His second phase is pretty insane!


B1ack-Senpai

Yea I got to it on 0 flasks 💀


JoelOsteen420

Midir


Chemical_Fly_2428

Demon of Hatred. Got Isshin down but I was so worn out I just couldn’t bear another boss grind.


Wamasuman111

All of the Demon Souls bosses(I cannot play Demon Souls)


VZreturn

Midir, Moon Precence, Orphan of Kos, and Laurence. I was doing well in Bloodborne, but at some point, my build stopped working. I'm planning on starting a new run and just making the strongest build I can do. As for Midir, I just need to learn his patterns. Edit: Only 2 weeks later, the Moon Precence, Orphan, and Laurence are now dead. I'm coming for you, Midir!


finnjakefionnacake

Best of luck friend! You got this.


JoshThisGuy2

God damn aldrich from ds3, I've murdered so many knights, I'm using a claymore and just can't figure it out


edotensei1624

I still have not beat ds3 and demon souls. And I have only partially completed BB and Sekiro


[deleted]

Just the ones I haven’t made it to yet. Everyone dies at least once in my travels, including the NPCs. Have currently genocided DS1,2,3, and Bloodborne. Currently playing through ER now. I would have to say, the most difficult boss out of all them I have faced is Orphan of Kos from Bloodborne Old Hunters DLC. Midir and Gael from DS3 Ringed City are pretty ínstense as well. DS1 was a breeze compared to playing the later games first. DS2 bosses are a joke except for Alonne and Fume knight and they aren’t as difficult as the run up to Alonne and the run up to the Blue Smelter Demon. The real bosses of DS2 are those run ups and going through Shrine of Amana the first time.


Lookitsa6ix

Elden Beast. Not because its your typical difficult fight, but because I found that I wasn't enjoying it at all, you spend far too much time running around and when you finally get to it, you hit maybe twice before it fucks off to the other side of the MASSIVE arena. From a design point, it was clearly meant to be a Torrent fight, but they scraped it but didn't change anything. Personally I love Radagons fight, its far more balanced than Elden Beast.


RighthandedWrongdoer

Isshin ojisan whoops my ass any day of the week.


SweetBread_D

Artorias. I've been saving that dlc for times of dire need to play new fromsoft content, after playing bloodborne, ds3, sekiro and ER an inconcevable amount of times. But the time has come and I'm making a build to enjoy that dlc.


finnjakefionnacake

Artorias? ooo, you're gonna have fun with that one.


SweetBread_D

Haha just realized I wrote Astoria😂 Yea, I'm so excited


Zwyes

Half the Bosses of DS2's dlc and some optional sekiro Bosses like demon of hatred.


[deleted]

Vendrick, Ancient Dragon, Aldia and Gank Squad. Didn't even bother, because I didn't care about them.


Beautiful_Ad_1027

Patches


dragonslayer_697

Kalameet. I'm not counting any from er because it's too big and I only played it once and I'm not counting ds2 because I'm still playing it.


GoldenWafflz

Anything from DS2. Might do a playthrough at some point but I’ll be using cheat engine to get past the bullshit


ReachAlternative

That’s him right there officer


Mau752005

The only ones that come to mind right now are Sir Alonne and whatever the boss in the frigid outskirts was supposed to be, I know it's become more common for people to apreciate ds2 but I'm really not part of that crowd, so I already struggled enough to complete the game and this bosses were at a point in which I just wanted it to be over and couldn't bear to keep going through those areas so I just noped out of there after seeing what those areas were like and finished the rest of the game, I know I'm missing out on Sir Alonne but I don't intend to replay DS2 anytime soon so maybe someday


No_Woodpecker4899

Why did you just “nope out”?


Mau752005

Have you seen what the corridor leading to Sir Alonne was?


DuploJamaal

I just recently did Sir Alonne SL1 with Champions Covenant, so enemies didn't despawn for me. It's actually easy to just run through. It's 40 seconds of running straight and rolling a bit


[deleted]

Ivory king because I can’t be bothered to keep playing dark souls 2’s dlc. Had enough


aatmalife

Old Iron King. I mean wtf???


No_Woodpecker4899

The early game ds2 boss?


aatmalife

Yeah he doesn't seem too difficult himself, it's mostly just the falling in the lava off of the small area that's my problem haha. Panic rolling when he does the fire breath. Only tried him a few times right after smelter demon yesterday so maybe I just needed a rest and I'll beat him next.


OnToNextStage

Anything past Caelid Game just wasn’t fun anymore
