    The reasons the nameless king is the hardest boss in the game, is because you have to fight him, his dragon and the camera

      The camera during the dragon portion is definitely the hardest part of the fight. Complete and utter bullshit. And the final phase is tough, it's made much more difficult because you have to fight the camera/dragon to reach that phase every time. It takes much longer to learn his moveset because of this.

      +Joshua Bahr First phase is a joke. Camera is fine as long as you stay in front of the boss. Second phase is ridiculous. I had to stack lightning res and upgrade a lothric knight shield for the lightning res, and just block his speedy attacks. Didn't have the reflexes for that fight.

      @DexterNewton32 8 лет назад +162

      +Oscar Axe First Phase is cheap, that's the problem. Dragon is ridiculously hard to even hit (I slashed through his neck with my GS and it did not register as hit) and the fire-to-ground attack has a ridiculously large AoE and a lenght that can hit you 2 times (which is basically death since the breath takes more than half you health.

      @Darkdude38 8 лет назад +12

      +Sneaky Dexter if you stay in the middle you get hit 3 times. Even though you can block it. If you get hit 3 times (if you blocked the first hit) you're basically fucked ^_^

      @Real_LiamOBryan 8 лет назад +73

      +Joshua Bahr I disagree completely, in fact most people I've seen who struggle on the Nameless King consistently struggle with the second phase more. The first phase's camera can be a pain, but the dragon is pretty quick to die due to lower health pool and ease of staggering for a critical attack.
      The thing, imo, people are missing, is that the camera mostly bugs out when you get under the dragon. But you don't want to be under the dragon in the first place because it's more likely to do less beneficial attacks like leaping up and breathing fire. Control your spacing properly by trying to maintain your position in front of the dragon and you will have 0 issues with the camera whatsoever.

    I have no clue how Aldrich got this high up in the ranking. Felt like a slightly beefier Pinwheel when I first encountered him. The same goes for the Dancer, while a cool boss, it is almost trivialized by its meagre health pool. Lorian, Champion Gundyr, Dragonslayer Armour, and Old Demon King are all harder than those two imo. Still, interesting to see how different perceptions of boss difficulty can be.

      I never played DS before but some bosses, that are supposed to be hard, were very ez: Abyss Watchers 2nd try; Aldrich 1st try; Soul of Cinder 2nd try(if i had one more estus it would have been 1st try); I was actually sad that i defeated Soul of cinder so ez, cuz the game was over, and Nameless King before that was such a challenge, that defeating Soul of Cinder didn't give me satisfaction...

      Tough fight, but I beat him (barely) at my first go. I'm pretty good at Bloodborne & it felt like a boss from that game. Kind of a noob in Dark Souls though & I died 15-20 times on the Nameless King. The camera got me, the fire breath sometimes would just kill me. And his second phase is really fast, you barely ever have any time to heal.

      Well, this is a community ranking voted by +10.000 people. It's just a survey showing which boss people found harder on average ratings. DeMod expressed how the Twin Princes and Aldrich were the hardest for him, so he clearly understands that difficulty is subjective. A lot of people in the comments section don't, though. My hardest main game boss is Crystal Sage so I think I understand it better than most lol, I watch people wreck him like the easiest thing ever and don't even understand how I get killed, but I still do.

    • @welcometovalhalla2884
      @welcometovalhalla2884 7 лет назад +8

      DarthStalkers Well, in my first playthrough I just went full Skyrim against him in second phase, meaning I just attacked him without caring about his clones, and they always stunlock me with their spells and kill me. I got killed 7 times like that. In NG+ cycles the spells just deal too much damage and whatever they throw at me is almost a one shot, so I still consider him dangerous even if I already got gud at fighting him..
      I killed him first try in my last playthrough, though, so now I should say Nameless is my hardest main game boss since he is the only one that kills me outside the DLC.

    • @welcometovalhalla2884
      @welcometovalhalla2884 7 лет назад +1

      boe diggy As I just said, I first tried him in my last playthrough, after getting killed 7 times the first time around I already know what to do, but when he attacks from everywhere it becomes hard to avoid every single hit and some are deadly. There is no such thing as "objectevely easy" here (unless we are talking about the numbers shown in the video), not for bosses that actually deal damage and have more health than Pinwheel.

    • @DarthStalkers
      @DarthStalkers 7 лет назад

      AraragiTheRaper fair enough. Early in the fight I got hit by one of his homing attack and knew he'd hit hard. So when I saw his clones I knew they were priority.
      I had the hardest time dodging Lorian throughout his fight and he hurts if he gets ya haha. As for Nameless he's not too bad for me, but the King of Storm phase is still a struggle.
      I just started a pyromancer and everything was rather easy but the Abyss Watchers definitely didn't like me haha

It was better in NG+ when he has more health, but I really enjoyed that fight.

      If a boss can take your attacks for 10-15 minutes and still be above half-health, you probably are meant to have a special mechanic to weaken them or something, if it's a Souls Game. Sorta like how if you attack Wolnir but don't hit his bracelets his health-pool seems freaking unlimited, that caused me to die a few times to him before I realized they were weak-points.

      @kinehYT 8 лет назад +1

      +TheSnoozeFox I love atmosperically bosses like abyss watchers, i don't hate the deacons either, but i also don't really like them. The problem was, that a boss really should feel like one in my opinion. If the main body would be a little bit more tanky and he would dodge the attacks a bit, or if the enemys had a real formation, like if the fattys line up between you and him, while the tall one try to encircle you, while the main body slowly retreats with 2 healers on the side, it would really feel like you try to beat a cult trying everything to protect the boss. But like this it is just a bunch of fireball throwing guys ... kinde like the white maids in front of yhorm.
      And while i am already at it: I think the idea behind the ancient wyvern is great, but i think they shouldn't have made him a boss, if he were just in the area, it would have made him much better to me. And he also lacks a bit of chasing. If the way to him was designed, so you can't just run up in one go, but having to hide behind pillars every few seconds, because he breezes fire, that actually covers your way and makes you feel like you hide from a great danger, that would actually make him quiet neet.
      Another argument against your point: I think the dancer was quiet easy, didn't really have problems with her, but i still like her design and strangely i really struggled against oceiros but didn't like him.

      I wasn't even aware that the Deacons had a curse mechanic until watching this. Every time I've fought them they've dropped too fast to apply any.
      I agree that bosses don't need to be the hardest to be great - Oceiros is one of the favourites for me and my friends because the atmosphere in the fight is awesome, even though it wasn't too challenging. But the difference there is that there IS still a challenge to it. There's absolutely none to the Deacons.

    Dancer was an absolute bitch for me. Took me at least 20 attempts to beat her and Nameless King took me 4 hours. Nameless King was the bane of my existence, it got to the point where I rarely took a hit from the Dragon phase because I knew it so well but then fighting NK himself always got me haha. I managed to beat him though and I honestly went mental, not going to lie.

      I cant agree with you for nameless king. Well timed rolls near him puts you out of danger and he is too slow to deplete your stamina unless you too greedy or using heavy weapon . For heavy wep this tactic will work too ,however will take more time and patience and may be nessesary to skip hitting him sometimes when he opens up for attacks in order to recover stamina. Ofc u must know well his attack patterns but if u dont close or far to him wont make big difference imo. Just try , youll be amazed how easy Nameless king can be 😉

    Tip: If you're intimidated by a boss and it makes you a bit panicky, try disabling the game music or even playing your own music over it. I did this in bloodborne and It's way easier to keep your cool when a full choir and orchestra aren't screaming at you...

  • @jasonbond5213
    @jasonbond5213 3 года назад +13

    As someone who has only started playing these games a few weeks ago I am amazed at how the perception of a boss can change. DS3 is my first from soft game and I remember how hard it was for me in the beginning. At least 15 tries for Gundyr, about 30 for Vordt, 25 for the tree and 40 for the watchers... It was a tough time.
    Yesterday, not being able to defeat soul of cinder and trying to blow off some steam, I started a second run. I beat both Gundyr and that ice lizard first try, vordt second and the tree first as well. While the walls of lothric broke me on my first playthrough I had them fully explored and looted within minutes on my second one. This progression really shows how good fromsoft is at teaching new players. The beginning will be a wild ride and you will die and die and die and there is no alternative but pressing on and trying again. But if you do the game rewards you by giving you the necessary skills and knowledge of the game you need. You won't even realise how much you as a player have changed in those few hours until you go back to the start and try again.
    I just hope I will continue learning during my second run, right now it is pretty much impossible for me to beat the final boss and I hope by the end of my second run I will finally be good enough to beat him.

    Why do people fight each other about who's better at Dark Souls games?

      1: He has weird mechanics, looks gross, and (if you can avoid that stupid barrel roll) is overall silly easy
      2: Wolnir is a tedious pain with that instant kill poison... the other two I couldn't tell you why (aside from Iudex's dark mass transformation).
      3: Depends on what you mean by "standard". The elegant simplicity of some "standard" fights (Soul of cinder, Pontiff Sulyvahn, Champion Gundyr all have gimmicks, but are otherwise straight fights, as opposed to something like Ancient Wyvern) make them an excellent test of skill, while simultaneously encouraging players to try to creatively approach dealing with their fighting style. Instead of "hit boss in fungus sack to win".
      4: Insecurity, the same thing that drives some players to Dark Souls. They have to be "the best" at something, or they feel their life is worthless.
      5: Because they seemed rather interesting, offering some decent food for thought.
      Those are my opinions on your questions. Others will absolutely disagree.

    It’s interesting to see how difference in play style affects boss difficulty.
    As a pyromancer, taking on Old Demon King was basically impossible, but I beat Aldrich first try thanks to some heavy hitting pyros and a flame arc on my katana.

    • @JLin943
      @JLin943 2 года назад +1

      As a strength/dex build, Old Demon King was a first attempt victory for me, but I struggle with Pontiff Sulyvahn almost as much as I struggle with Nameless King. I’ve been replaying it recently and I left off tonight on attempt #6 with Sulyvahn even with the help of both available NPCs. My first play-through I counted my deaths against Sulyvahn, and it took me an embarrassing 33 attempts to finally kill him. To be fair though, when I first played the game it took me a while to get used to the faster boss fights, because I’d just come off from playing the first Dark Souls which is much slower paced and much easier. But still, Pontiff Sulyvahn has gotta be up there with the top 3 Souls game bosses I absolutely hate with every fiber of my being.

    I'm just starting DS3 after Elden Ring, and the worst part about Vordt is the trek to get to him. I expect many more bosses will be the same, glad FS decided to change this design, because the trek to Vordt is longer and laden with more enemies than any ER boss, even with the elevator "shortcut". I remember the poisonous trek to Quelaag in DS1, but I guess I've just gotten used to the QoL improvements in ER, really think bosses should be more difficult mechanically and not just a chore to get to.

After half a year or so I started all over again and actually beat the game. Now I am a huge Soul fan, but every time I fight against the Dancer I get Vietnam flashbacks. The same goes for the fcking Ruin Sentinels in DS 2

      took me 5-6hours of grinding it to get him down even though i enjoyed the fight very much, and then we got to the twin princes and wow that was by far the most annoying fight in the souls series and took me another 6-7hours easily because of all the fucking teleporting and shitty camera movement.

    The Deacons of the Deep were incredibly easy, but the WTF reaction they got out of me when I first saw them (DS3 was the first DS I played) and how what-the-hell-is-going-on the fight was was so shocking to me that it's epic and makes up for it.
    The Ancient Dragon was great, too! Instead of a standard, generic video-games-in-general and Dark Souls in particular boss fight, you get one where THE ARENA IS A LEVEL, complete with treasures and enemies, where the hard way is fighting the boss straight-up, and the intended strat is racing to the end of the stage, past fast minions and killer ambushes and then figuring out how to deal damage- or finding time in the chaos to READ tips! How epic was that?! :D Sometimes 'epic' is better than good. I mean, it's not like The Nameless King wasn't hanging around the same area for anyone who wanted more challenge...
    And if you think Yhorm the Giant is too easy alone, try doing it with Siegward helping you... OMG. That fight was epic for me to see also, and so all 3 of the early bosses on this list make up for easy with OMG-EPIC

    Here’s my trick to beat pontiff easier. I used to suck with this guy, but, what you do is learn the gestures for which sword he’s going to use and make yourself comfortable with whatever sword you want, pick one. Get used to dodging what sword you want, I like the big fire sword because you can bait a large easily dodged sweep attack that has no follow up and a long wait after, and it’s really easy, stand just barely on his left (your right) and he’ll sail to the left and do this attack. Abuse your power attacks and weapon arts, because pontiff isn’t too hard to stun. Stay close, his range is ludicrous and he’ll almost always catch you if you run away, so if you just stay close you actually more likely to not get caught in a combo. In his last phase, you can bait out the ground slam (not big fire explosion just the jump in the air and dash slam WWE style move) by running away from him, then back towards him for just a second, and away again. Roll, and then count “one” and roll again. Always dodges the move. You can get 1 good power attack, and 2 if you stun him.
