I always felt that they were a good fight, in never felt unfair for me, the bad thing is the frigid outskirts. If there was a bonfire right before the fog wall this boss would be more memorable
I don't like area denial that Quelaag has with the lava spit and exploding aoe. Najka have more variety for example burrowing, toxic grab, spell casting attacks but it is too easy since the arena elevation in uneven.
My top 5: 1. Fume Knight (lore goes crazy) 2. Ivory King 3. Sir Alonne 4. Darklurker 5. Sinh/Looking Glass Knight Ps love your channel bro, keep posting. Great vid💪❤️
Not him saying "i just kill all the big skeletons and then pick off the smaller ones" like its a strategy, my brother in christ thats the REQUIREMENT to kill the boss
Despite how much people complain about DS2 bosses being “Dudes in armor” they tend to be the better fights. It helps that you’re also not fighting the camera against them. And can we talk about how boss arena interactions have been lost in the series.
@@CatarinaFan it’s crazy how many different opinions there are, and so many different takes on these games. I would have put Lud and Zallen in the F- tier for being a lazy reskin of a boss from the same DLC at the end of one of the worst areas in video game history.
@@kevingreen24but it makes sense it's a reskin, they are all the King's pets, possibly brothers and sisters. The lore says there were 7, possibly all big cats
Wow, it's rare for me to find a tier list that i agree with basically 95%! Lud and Zallen, tho, I'd gotta put in D tier. They're not as BORING as Covetous Demon, they have many different attacks, so I can't put them in F. But it feels like the duo-aspect wasn't balanced well. The second cat jumps down WAY too soon; the tigers' aggro AI wasn't tuned to stand back and wait enough to let a solo player be confident in focusing on just one at a time (and all Souls games are at their best in 1v1 combat), and the NPC summons are much too low on HP and attack and self-preservation to really help draw aggro. To say nothing of the runback which is, imo, just too long. Cut the area size in half, or even a third. Heck, the runback to the gank fight is probably a quarter of this. Move the bonfire closer to the boss fog, fewer invisibly spawning reindeer, change the snowstorm timing, etc, etc, it's been said before. Most overhaul mods DO put the bonfire closer, at the very least! I don't hate duo-bosses on principle, this one in particular is tough because the tiger models ARE SO LARGE, I can't keep them both in my line of sight on screen! Not so in the twin-dragonriders or Throne Watcher and Defender fight, THOSE guys are a sensible size. Huh, maybe the LNZ fight would be more manageable if the cats were SMALLER!

Burnt Ivory King Sir Alonne Fume Knight Darklurker Looking Glass Knight Velstadt Sinh the Slumbering Dragon Aged Smelter Demon Aava, King's Pet Ruin Sentinels Demon of Song Mytha, the Baneful Queen The Pursuer The Lost Sinner Flexile Sentry These are my favorite bosses. I'm disappointed with the DS2 bosses, but these are the bosses that continue to entertain me.
@@soulcollector7551 so true, the only bosses that reach it are Sir alonne (this one’s really good, it’s an A) Fume knight, Velsdadt, Pursuer, The lost sinner, and maybe the putrid and the mirror’s knight. The rest is all C tier or below
>Lud & Zallen in A tier
>Explains why it's bad instead of why it's placed that high
Lud and Zallen... A tier? I felt the explanation for that one was lacking.
I always felt that they were a good fight, in never felt unfair for me, the bad thing is the frigid outskirts.
If there was a bonfire right before the fog wall this boss would be more memorable
Lud and zallen in a tier is literally the most insane thing I’ve seen!! Personally they are my most hated boss in the entire souls series easily!
honestly i think royal rat vanguard is funny af
The main rat having a Mohawk is so stupid and funny
@@Luekirt2 As much as Mauler's DS2 video series is outdated and flawed, I love his quote: "A fucking MOHAWK"
No way you like Najka more than Quelaag
Quelaag really isn’t that amazing other than her lore
Real@@user-zq1uc5cg7x
Najka is a much more interesting boss in my opinion.
@@user-zq1uc5cg7xnah she has a great moveset and najka is too easy
I don't like area denial that Quelaag has with the lava spit and exploding aoe. Najka have more variety for example burrowing, toxic grab, spell casting attacks but it is too easy since the arena elevation in uneven.
My top 5:
1. Fume Knight (lore goes crazy)
2. Ivory King
3. Sir Alonne
4. Darklurker
5. Sinh/Looking Glass Knight
Ps love your channel bro, keep posting. Great vid💪❤️
That's a respectable Top 5. Thank you for the support beast, it means the world.
Mine would have the same bosses but in a slightly different order
Fume knight
Sir alonne
Ivory king
Sinh
Darklurker
Not only lore, best bonfire placement goes crazy too!
Not him saying "i just kill all the big skeletons and then pick off the smaller ones" like its a strategy, my brother in christ thats the REQUIREMENT to kill the boss
I straight up don’t believe you on some of these
WHO LET HIM COOK❤🔥NEVER RANK AGAIN ❤🔥
It’s called an opinion bruh
He getting forgotten by the algorithm with this one 🔥🔥
@@Bibbity_bobbity17 imagine having an opinion instead of objective facts 😹😹😹
@stainlessstain9823 that's mean
@@Bibbity_bobbity17 yeah, and this is a wrong one
I think describing the Frigid Outskirts as “an annoying run back” is certainly one of the ways to describe it of all time
Harder doesn’t equal better what is this list 😂😂😂
Lol I just learnt Duke's Dear Freja had two heads. I chopped one off, after a while I saw she has head again and assumed she regrew it.
Despite how much people complain about DS2 bosses being “Dudes in armor” they tend to be the better fights. It helps that you’re also not fighting the camera against them.
And can we talk about how boss arena interactions have been lost in the series.
Swap covetous demon and elana and your tier list is perfect
aint no way you like smelter demon that much
Good list i was never really a fan of the bosses in ds2, but the world itself is cool
thanks for ranking all the boss cuz maybe im about to play ds 2
DS2 is such an underrated game. It receives a lot of unnecessary hate, but personally, I think its great. Have fun!
Go ahead its an amazing game but u need extra patient and skills 😅
Do it one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. Be patient with the game and I promise it rewards you
Please dont cook anymore... The kitchen is on fire
Lud and Zallen in A tier is certainly a choice…
Honestly the more i play the game my opinion is always changing
@@CatarinaFan it’s crazy how many different opinions there are, and so many different takes on these games. I would have put Lud and Zallen in the F- tier for being a lazy reskin of a boss from the same DLC at the end of one of the worst areas in video game history.

I mean I sort of like Lost Sinner but putting the boss with like 4 attacks in A tier is a bit wacky.
Having all of those bosses below ancient dragon is insane
Wow, it's rare for me to find a tier list that i agree with basically 95%!

Some steaming hot takes lmao. Mad respect.
How would you rank the DS1 bosses?
That video will be in the works soon my friend
@@CatarinaFan exciting, exciting. Dyu have a discord server or anything, btw

Opinions - welcome to them.
@@danielpayne7194 love em or love em
You can fight all three Ruins Sentinels on that initial platform.
You should rank the bosses in the other soulsborne games
You said a lot of things that are wrong, Elana can't summon 2 Velstadts at once, you don't need a ring to fight Aava
Guys he has dyslexia he got a couple of them mixed up, right?
Lud and Zallen are great except for them breaking youre weapon, I think they would been remember fondly if I te wasnt for the area and the rematch
Burnt Ivory King
Sir Alonne
Fume Knight
Darklurker
Looking Glass Knight
Velstadt
Sinh the Slumbering Dragon
Aged Smelter Demon
Aava, King's Pet
Ruin Sentinels
Demon of Song
Mytha, the Baneful Queen
The Pursuer
The Lost Sinner
Flexile Sentry
These are my favorite bosses. I'm disappointed with the DS2 bosses, but these are the bosses that continue to entertain me.
Itd be neat to see rankings of 1 and 3. Great video
Got a few videos already in the works, but I’ll add this to the list for you. So stay posted 🫡
@@CatarinaFanok bet
@@CatarinaFan why weren’t they there to begin with?
@@filmkid8221Because they weren't...
you were very generous here
I mamaged to first try mytha with the poison in the arena by spamming lifegems 😅
I didnt know you could remove the poison
So weird seeing anything above C tier of ds2 bosses
yeah except maybe for the knight bossfights like fume knight, velstadt and alonne.
Most delusional thing is saying Ds2 is lack luster to the majority of the souls community. When in reality most of the community loves it lol
Royal Rat is the hardest bro, really
Who put him in the kitchen?
Best Dark Souls game
some weird choices over here but good overall
I luv Dark Souls 2!😊❤
darklurker is genius
do you have an obsession with ds2 or something? like goddamn i saw you in every single video about ds2. be it new or old videos.
@@alduinfr if i have it, u have it too
royal rat vanguard is the best
Havel isn’t a boss though
He meant graverobbers trio from dlc bc one of them have havels armor and weapon
Oh yea, I forgot about that
80% of the ds2 bosses cannot reach the B tier
not true
@@soulcollector7551 so true, the only bosses that reach it are Sir alonne (this one’s really good, it’s an A) Fume knight, Velsdadt, Pursuer, The lost sinner, and maybe the putrid and the mirror’s knight. The rest is all C tier or below
i forgot the burnt ivory king and the dark lurker
@@paranormalchannel9985 Looking glass knight, not mirror knight, and lost sinner was really bad boss bc of the hp, but the game 60% boss is good
