This video is actually a literal joke hahaha. These games are actually made for 5 year olds. The first time I played Demons souls, I didn't die once and that was my first. Dark souls 1, I didn't even take damage my first playthrough. Git gud and grow the fuck up, kids. smh.
SuperButterBuns lmao yes I am 😂. I agreed with pretty much everything you said. Demons souls ripped me a new one because that was my first. After hearing your points on Ds1, I think I'd agree. I have to replay Demon's sometime. Ds1 is my favorite lore-wise but I'd have to say Ds3 has the best gameplay and is the most polished. DS2 was trash imo. All quantity instead of quality. Very good video!
@@gtothee5723 the drake sword is complete shit you noob. The gravelord sword can carry you through the entire game and is the easiest and best starting weapon for any class.
That's the part that got me too. I started with Bloodborne and the DLC before going back through the series. Dark Souls was a cake walk. Nothing compares to Orphan except that last Sekiro boss.
I "just started playing" Bloodborne and oh god I'm so addicted: this shit is too good, idc how much I die, it's just way too fun. I really wanna get that DLC once I finish my first playthrough cause some of the bosses look so fucking cool
@@xbenci If you don't want to wait until ng+ to do the dlc, start it before finishing your first playthrough. It isn't accessible until about the halfway point. Doing it this way will also let you start a fresh playthrough with the new stuff. Bloodborne was my first souls game and I loved it!
You know what? I was super into ds1 and i like to let my mum play first levels because why not, after all she likes to watch me play in the living room. So i say "let's make a character for you" and following her instructions i made a female pyromancer with purple hair and handed her the controller. She has the "undiagnosed mom thumb" (every mom has one hurting thumb apparently) at the left hand but she managed to beat the asylum demon just with my vocal tips at age of 54 and you don't know how proud i am
James Gillam dark souls 2 is still the hardest for me, I played it first and couldn’t beat it, tried 1 and found it way easier, then jumped to 3 which was harder than 1 but still fair, and FINALLY beat 2 but it’s still the toughest for me to beat haha!
Not necessarily, the first one I played was Bloodborne, and I actually did really well at that one. Then tried DS1, and I still haven't gotten past the Taurus Demon on purpose lol
I both agree and disagree. Personally i began with 3 and found it hard but it got easier quite quickly. However after playing the remaster I consider the original to be the hardest
Eeeeh... Item drops are always RNG in every single souls/borne game, and the point of the chalice dungeons were to be randomly generated anyway. Otherwise, the core game of Bloodborne is no more or less RNG than the other titles.
@@akmal94ibrahim well ok, but then they have to demaster the entire game, which costs money and how many people will buy it? It's already a niche game, the only reason it worked for the PS5 is because it came bundled with the PS5.
I thought that it was Soul Caliber V that was the best of the Souls games. It had the best story and most likable hero imaginable and got rid of all those characters that were completely dead weight and utterly despised. ^_^
Dark souls 2 was the hardest for me for 3 reasons 1. The max health cap decreasing upon death 2. Needing to level up agility just to be able to dodge 3. I never found a weapon that suited my play style
Brendan Wake idk I found bloodborne a lot harder than ds2. In ds2 you can get a ring that stops the health loss at %25 and by the end of the game I had around 90 human effigies
DS2 was difficult not because of its levels or fight design. It was difficult because the developers, which were not the same team as DS1, 3 or bloodbourne, thought the definition of difficulty was just throwing a large amount of mobs at you. You also could only turn in 8 different corrections, unlike a full 360 degree turn, making movement near impossible on narrow passages and the hit boxes on both you and the enemies/bosses were completely random. Also, damage done from falling was inconsistent and it depended more on which area of the game you were in, not the actual distance fallen. Ultimately, it was the flaws in the development of the game that made it more difficult, not the game itself.
Dark Souls 2 was hard because of poor design choices. I feel like DS3 is hardest due to more complex boss movesets and it being faster paced. But I can definitely understand how DS2 feels much harder sometimes. It feels harder for me but I believe that DS3 is objectively the harder game even though it was easier for me to beat.
@@tylerworrell4446 Dark Souls 3 is just spam roll lol. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2 play alot more realistically. Specially Dark Souls 2 slow paced combat and stamina management.
What ruined ds2 for me was the enemies, most of them run as fast(or faster) than you and hit like tanks, also they have some very generic designs, which makes fighting against them a bit boring and repetitive, also they are positioned in a way that you can't see them
My first soulsborne was bloodborne and one key point on It's difficulty is the fact that if youre not all that good at dodging then you'll probably end up going insane and muttering something about blood and the cosmos
played bloodborne first aswell. DS games feel a bit weird to me, especially DS2, but I still enjoy them, even though I wish I could just dodge and attack the way I want
I started with DS1 years after everyone else. I was having fun, dying constantly but slowly getting better. Then I had a stroke and lost a chunk of the part of the brain that helps with the timing of motions, and, welp, no more Dark Souls for me. Now every Soulsborne game is "the hard one." Too bad, though; it was originally right at the edge of what I could eventually develop the skills to get through, which can be fun when I'm in the right mood.
I am glad that you finally called out those snots that call the game "easy", when it was clearly designed to be hard. Your sass has done our society justice once again, Miss ButterBuns. God Bless.
it was designed to be hard but there are some people who think it's alright and people who think it's easy. i personally think it's not hard and think it's pretty basic and easy but that doesn't mean i didn't die at all😊
@WB CASH yow me too but i've played sekiro too and because you move faster, strike faster and have stealth (also parkour) it's sooooo easy easier than even bloodborne and darksouls (for me that is)
literally learn how to play the game its extremely easy when you know you can run past everything and know exactly where everything is and stuff to upgrade items and where the items you need are like damn if you wanna get good watch some dark souls speed runs and every death you have gotten is because of your actions if people can beat the whole game killing every boss with an unupgraded broken straight sword literally doing not even 5 damage per hit dont fucking tell me boo whoo its hard because you don't know how to play like if someones playing cod and theyre doing bad because they dont know the map layout or what guns to use it doesnt make the game hard it just makes them stupid and bad at the game especially compared to other people like damn we challenge ourselves I beat the game at SL8 with nothing better than a +5 weapon just so i can be an asshole and invade people who havent killed gargoyles
@@Ronnie-Bagpipe you mean extremely easy once you've first sank 50+ hours into learning the layout of each level, the location of each enemy, and gotten upgraded weapons? LMAO I hope this was a joke my dude. Unless your SL8 run was the literal first time you ever played you're talking out your ass.
@@jonstein4606 its the first thing i did on remastered and part of the fun in games is learning everything about them especially dark souls but you can find videos that are walk though guides to uprgrade weapons to +10 before gargoyles easily and just because its not holding your hand doesnt mean its hard especially when you can run past basically everything thats not a boss EASILY its only hard if your committed to playing blind, if you look up a guide and find a shitty weapon that does a ton of damage at the beginning and think thats good enough your stupid and bad and you should watch the people who are experienced to learn how to really play and not just spam attacks and heals and hope you dont die
A few tips for new souls players that want to "get gud": 1. Weapon base damage isn't everything. Always go for the better stat scaling. NEVER use a raw stone weapon because it removes all stat scaling. 2. If you're having a hard time fighting a boss, back off a bit and study what moves they use when you're at a certain distance or position. Once you've figured them out you can use that to exploit them and punish when they wiff an attack. 3. Praise the sun.
Raw weapons do have their uses, tho. For all those madmen attempting SL1 runs a raw broadsword is a godsend. Or to supplement a caster with a weapon. (I play mostly DS3, in the earlier games that is different)
The Soulsborne series isn't hard. I mean some chill dude called ZeroLenny finished all the games with a broken sword and a torch! How hard can it be? (War flashbacks to Nameless King, Orphan of Kos, Darkeater Midir, DS2 Hit-detection) Yeah, fun times.
I still don't understand the apparent difficulty of midir. 3 times I've faced him I beat him second try each time. First death I'm usually extremely close.
@@Bourikii2992 a lot of people dont know that you gotta fight him straight up and hit his head. So many people look at midir and immediately start slashing his ankles, therefore they can't see a single attack thats coming
Con Cahill he’s essentially the hardest boss in the entire franchise, from soft said something similar and that it was optional because most people wouldn’t even be able to beat
@@Bourikii2992 its the health. I make mistakes in my timings sometimes and so does everyone tf else apart from you apparently and as such a longer fight means more time to fuck up. My fights last a while
@@Bourikii2992 Darkeater Midir can be incredibly unpredictable with the fire attacks having more range than most people are used to. I know that with my first few tries, I tried dodging in certain directions that wound up being incredibly inconsistent and usually got me (and my stupid sorcerer build) killed. That said, after being summoned in to help, I paid attention to one of the other players and discovered how Midir's attacks hang to the right a bit, which was the direction I kept dodging, and the direction I kept getting smacked by. Now, I can beat Midir with relatively little trouble.
It is if you went into the catacombs early. I did. I had heard the game was really hard so I thought the catacombs was the first area. I didn't even find the stairs from the firelink bonfire until like four hours in when I reached the blocked gate near Nito. Walking out of the catacombs was _fun_
James Stark I always feel so sorry for those who first wander to catacombs instead of Undead Burg in Dark Souls 1. I never made that mistake but if i had I might not have finished the game ever.
@@James.Stark.Ben.Edition i feel your pain after making a new character i figured running to the catacombs to get to nito and get the gravelord sword as soon as i got to firelink would be pretty smart. No it wasn't, i cant tell u how many deaths it took me to ACTUALLY get into the tomb of the giants then make my way out.
Very odd Squirrel i am saving up for a ps4 (and eventually a ps3 to play demon) and I still consider it a souls game But I will most likely prefer other games as I am a very slow player (as in I prefer slow combat)
Armadyl Featherbreeze they arent the same story. If it was an age of water in bloodborne there would be emphasis on water. Kind of like how dark souls did with fire. It takes place in the player characters dreams. Even if the player character lives in the dark souls universe it would be a different story
Obadiah T does it really take place in the players dream? I mean, the hunters dream yeah, but the rest of the game? And in ds3, don't you join a covenant with emphasis on wolf blood? Or was that the abyss watchers? Maybe both? And they were searching for a cure to the curse of the soul by using blood. I think that's a reasonably strong tie. If I gotta find specifics I will, but I'm pretty sure that was a thing in ds3.
@@AkitaSyn yeah, but she couldve said her most difficult game earlier and explained herself afterwards (but then you could argue that the rest of the video is something not everyone would watch)
Dark Souls 2 is obviously the most difficult. Prowling Magus and Congregation? Borderline impossible. Dragonrider? Basically unkillable. Covetous Demon? Just give up, you can't win
@Jason Lee There is absolutely no way to complete npc quests without a guide, one thing i hated about ds3 is how absolutely convoluted the quests are, for example siegward spawning in a random fucking well in a place where you only go there once, written guides are the go to because they don't have as much spoiler.
Ds2 is the most difficult. I feel like most souls players dont bother to go back and play through it again but it is most definitely the hardest game in the series. Stamina management is a real thing, weapons break regularly, and the sheer volume of enemies is staggering. On top of that Eleum Loyce is the single hardest area in all of soulsborne, with huge sections of the map needed to be explored before you find a single bonfire and areas such as raindeer orgy gank fuck zone exist.
I dissagre, Eleum Loyce was a really fun area, and the boss fight was one of the best ones. Fought, as i didnt know that you can get 4 knights to fight with you i wasted around 5 hours of my life trying to kill the ivory king, the search for the knights to rally one last time to defeat their king to free him of chaos, and fighting together with npcs that arent summons, the size of the fight and everything else. One of the better boss fights in the gamr
I'm at drangleic castle, just kill the 2 dragonraiders. I really think once you know what you're doing the game doesn't seem to be so hard. Yes it is challenging and don't get me wrong, I have died more than 500 times, but it is manageable. If can beat it I think I'm gonna try dark souls 3 next.
Scholar of the first sin is the hardest to me because they threw in a lot of ganks. In terms of getting through the game, it wins. In terms of bosses, probably DS Remastered so far but the Estus mechanic in ds2 sucks ass
Narednik Đubo just finished the game. Just summon a phantom once, in the mirror shield boss, the one who summons to. As I said the game is manageable cause it's fair enough if you invest in your character. Very glad I gave this a 2nd chance cause I felt my self getting better boss by boss. Gonna get 3 for sure.
You beat me to it! Yup, Sekiro. No summons, no over leveling, no top tier equipment upgrades, just pretty much all skill. Most of the real upgrades you get require you to beat the bosses, which are way harder than any of the previous souls games. (the very first mini boss will cause the same kind of headaches most end game bosses from Souls games do) The fact that you get warp around the game world at will doesn't do jack for you when you just keep dying at every mini boss or boss!
It may be harder but I feel like it lacks a lot of the fun of soulsborne games cause theres barely any character freedom. I like that I can make my own builds and get completely different experiences each playthrough. When you change up your build, it even changes how well you do with bosses. First time I played bloodborne I had a skill strength character and beat the hell out of most bosses pretty easily but my new arcane skill character makes smaller bosses easier but the bigger bosses get much harder. I like sekiro and I still think it's better than most other games but i dont think itll ever have the replayability of literally every soulsborne game
@@decrabtra I understand where you're coming from, but the Soulsborne games are special and one of those special things is the character customization so if you don't like that game doesn't have character customization, you're basically saying you don't like it because it isn't dark souls/ Bloodbourne.
Idk, only died to him like once on my first run. Why is everyone saying he's hard? What am i missing? Like, the only bosses that can realistically kill me are O&S and Bed of Bullshit
@@TheZakR Yeah, it took me more than 3x for O/S, but Manus is on another level. This is solo, no summons (I let my PS4 membership lapse, lol). Manus is a beast. I've actually stepped away from him for a while and gone back to DS3--I've been soloing all bosses in the Bloodsouls games for the last 3 months, and so far Manus is up there with Darkeater Midir, at least for me.
@@abdur4754 I'm not sure beating the pursuer is easier than pirate cove for beginners. On my first playthrough though I thought the pursuer was the only way forward.
Taylor Corbridge tip for the pursuer always try and be behind him and if there facing towards you then dodge towards the shield it took me about twenty tries but it was worth it in the end also try getting a mace it deals better damage than swords against he’s style of armour and most of the armour styles in the game like I got lucky and on my second play through (which I only got to because I gave up on my first one after three bosses) I used the petrified something in the nest thing at the start because reasons and got by far my favourite weapon in the game so far the demons great hammer which destroys every armour wearing guy yet
"Mass community surveys" Pretty sure that's theDeModcracy. "Six hour long critical analysis" That would be Joseph Anderson, and probably a few others. "Lore dudes who won't shut up about knights with buckets on their head beating each other up with chicken wings" Sounds like VaatiVidya. Butter Buns is calling everyone out today
y'all need to gut gud scribs. I have never played a vido game in my life and I beat Dark Souls 3 with no estus, no bonfire, soul lvl 1 torch as only weapon, no rolls, no lock on, no saving, no savequit, no running, only able to walk, and I was using a USB steering wheel and pedals as controller, and I literally had three red invaders chasing me the whole nonstop playthrough that I took literally zero breaks during it, while I had my TV upside down, while I had to pee immensely bad and I was in a permanent plank push up position on the ground while balancing my phone on my foot which was above a bowl of water, while I was wearing sunglasses and it was night time and all lights were off in house. EZ, dark sols is EZ trash praise sun etc
Or as Miyazaki says: “It’s not because my game is hard, it’s because you as a player, suck at it. But thank you all for the support, our team couldn’t have come this far without you all.”
Demon's Souls on NG+ and beyond. The enemies have health bars bigger than the titanic, they hit like trucks on steroids and if you run out of grass you might as well give up on that character and make a new one.
Like, yeah. Like, the basic grunts in level 1-1 of NG+ Are stronger than the soldiers in 1-4. As a mage, I had to play through 3-1 before 2-1 because I need my spice dealer and anything that ain't Soul Ray or Firestorm ain't gonna do shit in Stonefang Tunnel.
11:08 "Dark Souls 2 is just a walk down tutorial park followed by a blinding sun and a pretty lady. Not exactly a stressful situation." My totally inept at talking to pretty ladies ass would beg to differ.
While I agree with most everything you said I’d have to say dark souls 2 is the hardest IF you do not choose the sorcerer. Seems like way more bosses & more areas. I can start ds1 & 3 with deprives & have absolutely no problem getting into the areas where weapons & gear are. Ds 2 just overwhelms you when you decide to go this route.
I'd have to disagree, depends on how gud you are with the sorcerer as I have beat the game 3 times with the knight yet have tried my hardest and nearly beat the game with the sorcerer and gave up
TBH, the easiest route i have gone in DS2 was str build. seriously. you just need to be naked, use the club until you can use the great club and GG. you 1 shot everything, and chunk bosses like never before. or the craftsman hammer. Ill admit the dark orb mage is pretty broken. And the dedicated lightning build made me understand why they nerfed the spells... they literally destroy ANY enemy.
I loved Bloodborne because it forced you to use to look for shortcuts (a good example is the Forbidden Woods) like you did in the first Dark Souls, while still keeping a teleport system which made the tedious backtracking irrelevant.
I think this is a bad think because in Bloodborne Shortcuts always felt so unimporant but in ds1 were you realy had to walk all the way back shortcuts were alway an reward.
@@w.s.7567 The one to the left of the first Lantern, next to the NPC who ended up becoming a werewold, or the one at the start of the area full of snakes, or the 5 or 6 that lead to farming locations without needing 5 minutes of walking.
@@dracosfire7247 Ok the first one is until this day for me useless. In Yharnahm there is no danger whatsover and thanks to the Gascoine cheese there is even less danger. I dont farm so these were useless. But the one in Vorbidden Forest was so helpfull. Yes I agree on that one.
The deaths I'm most ashamed of is when starting as sorcerer grabbing the crown of dusk and forgetting the magic weakness you get in exchange for the sorcery boost then running up to crystal sage and getting destroyed multiple times before I read through the crowns item description fully...
DS1 is probably the hardest for a completely blind playthrough due to how confusing it is and not starting with bonfire wrapping, but it's also the easiest once you have the knowledge. Bloodborne's the hardest overall because no shield, no arrows, no free healing, and PaPa G boss fight right in the beginning.
Randy Randalman im a dark souls noob playin ds3 and based off the short description you gave+what little i know, bloodborne will be the easiest for me cuz fuck sheilds fuck armor fuck ranged attacks fuck vigor (i have only 1 upgrade in it) go stamina and carry load all the way, fuck a good starting class (deprived all the way) and give me that maximum roll distance+a big fuckin sword and i am absolutely ripping the early game a new one (the catacombs made me frown a lot tho) has to be said i got to the abyss watchers on my first playthrough wasting every upgrade material i had not knowing/understanding (i still dont really) the crafting system and died waaaaay to much but now have yet to die to a boss. Iv seen people play bloodborne and i am simply drooling for that little dash thing they do, ill be invincible once i get it im absolutely sure :)... Or as close as it gets.
Randy Randalman i believe bloodborne and dark souls 3 are equal in difficulty, to me dark souls 1 wasnt really that hard, now with rhe dlcs having the best hardest fights in the series and the worst hardest fight in the series (a good hard fight being gael and friede and a bad hard fight beong midir cause fuck midir)
Filipe Vasconcelos I did it on acid. That’s why I fell in love with the series. The story captured me then the shear difficulty impressed the hell out of me
Went back and played ds1 on acid like in April. Did better than expected but I was freaked out when the dogs in lower undead parish flew onto the screen from the perifery of my center screen tunnel vision
I played Dark Souls 2 at like 6 am on January 1st after everyone had passed out after NYE mashed off my face. I just ran from Majula to Heide's Tower of Flame like 30 times getting squished by the giant knight dudes and honestly? it was a really calming and mellow experience
I agree that Dark Souls was the hardest. Aside from that, frenzy is the worst, most annoying thing in the entire series. Nightmare of Mensis makes me want to shove nails in my eyes
Yeah and the winter lanterns they are like the definition of frenzy the effect makes you lose 90% of your health plus you get the effect just by staying close to them and this is fucked up also their grab attack will not only give you frenzy but suck your health out I hate these things they are literally the worst and should have been nerfed
Learning the areas in soulsborne has been probably the easiest aspect for me as I tend to just have a great memory for maps and level design consistencies
Xanadu For some reason I know maps of all Soulsborne (exept Demon's. I didn't play it tho.), but I'm horrible in orientation in real world. I get lost so easily in big towns lol
Did you not listen too any NPC’s? Like I don’t wanna be a dick but the game literally tells you to ring them. If you have the estus flask you should know too ring the bells
Lets be honest every soulsborne game is hard the first time no matter how good you are ng+ is always easyand you can beat every boss first try not beacuse the bosses are easier nooooo beacuse in your first playthrough you spendend a ridiculous amount of time exploiting there move set and ai in most of them and about the areas you just remember them
jdr ok demon souls is the only souls game I haven't played so I can't argue about that im talking about my expirience from ds1 ds2 ds3 and bloodborne but I believe you
Andrew 123 you should play demons it's fun but epic name bro has a demons souls 100 percent play through that had him go through 4 or 5 times because he made 2 of 1 boss item but that new game plus ramp was murdering him when he is a lot better at these games then I am and I can beat all but dark souls 3 just burnt out on the series so dark souls 3 doesn't get my love dark souls 1 I just roll into damage because it's not bloodbourne and I use lock on to remember attack timing when I haven't played it in 2 years and demons idk I quit that when I got a ps4
Exactly. I thought ds3 would be easy when I went from ds1, but it was the same shit. Trial and error while learning enemy patterns. I disagree with the “hardest souls game is the first”, because in each game the enemies are different and you have to learn them. The only thing I brought with me from ds1 was understanding this, and learning to die over and over while learning the patterns.
Salt and Sanctuary definitely has the mystery feeling for me, learning how the strange island came to be and the mysterious presence following the player
I hate the git gud crowd. Not because it's not important but because about 80% of them never got gud themselves. They only say it to make themselves feel cool. The game was extremely hard for me at first and I rage quit maybe a dozen times. But I hate not beating a game and eventually made my way through and won. Now I effortlessly beat them and when I have an opportunity to help someone do the same I gladly do so. So now when I see some asshat tell a new player to git gud I just automatically assume that person has never beat a souls game and has no idea how offer advice so they just parrot what they saw the original souls badass say. Don't be that person treat others how you want and offer real advice when asked.
Ivan Enfinger I agree with your statement. The game humbles you from beginning to end. The crowd that says just “git gudd” probably never even finished the game. Scrubs.
@@lowgizzle im late but i still say git gud, tho honestly i didnt git gud for a very long time, it was super rewarding beating the first dark souls after nearly 500 hours across all the games, and my first playthrough was of dark souls 2, and i died 150 times to beat the game, shrine of amana prepatched was a nightmare!
I had to look up a guide for the "Usurpation of Fire" ending for Dark Souls 3. Like there's so many specific steps to follow, how in the fuck is someone supposed to just *FIGURE THAT ALL OUT.*
Syfyky Trial and Error. Iy would take multiple playthroughs to realize such a thing, but there comes a point where you find something new each time you start a new game. I cannot speak for myself, but I believe that there are the tenacious ones in this community who have discovered it on their own, as they have the curiosity and time to do so.
Is it bad that I accidentally got that ending my first time through? I just asked myself what would Yoel want me to do and wound up married to some lady I met on the road of sacrifices.
The only part that's really at all difficult is getting all the hollowing levels in time. How hollowing actually works is weird and you probably won't figure it out, but if you just talk to the guy every once in a while and die a reasonable amount you'll probably get the levels you need. After that you just need to not find Horace in the lake and tell Anri where he is while she's in that place, easy enough to do accidentally by missing the lake entirely or putting it off until you reach Irithyll and follow the instructions of the creepy lady and not do the Betrayal ending which is pretty easy.
naah, i vastly prefer ds3 and bloodborne even though 1 was my first. they suffer drawbacks sure, but the improvements far outweighs 1 by a landslide. everything from the environmental art designs to the enemy and boss designs are leagues better than 1. not to mention even the normal enemies in 3 and BB have more attack variety and phases than even the bosses in. i also think in-area level design in 3 is better than 1. cathedral of the deep and undead settlement has some of the best shortcuts to a single bonfire in a single area, and there are a shitload of those types of shortcuts sprinkled all over 3, although ds1 is still the master of area-to-area or whole-world level design. well the first half at least...the 2nd half of ds1 is almost universally dreadful, unlike bb and ds3.
It's the best because it's poorly designed? Don't get me wrong, i love first Dark Souls, but i also think that people tend to take every bad thing from it and turn it into an advantage. Long, boring paths to bosses for example (Artorias, Bed of Chaos). Or even not being able to warp to every bonfire which greatly increases time spent on running through low level regions. Not being able to reset your character is also a pain in the ass, for it means that the build you were thinking of during leveling up becomes your primary one and you're stuck with it. Oh, and by the way, fanbois of DS1 are kind of shitbags when it comes to arguing about why DS1 ain't that great or why DS2 is actually a really good game (i find them both really enjoyable to play and i couldn't just say that one is better than another, due to the flaws of DS1 and some not-so-well-thought decisions from DS2).
mastergame1311 I think you're mistaking your own preferences for "poor design". Don't disregard people who enjoy those aspects of DS1 as being fanboy "shitbags" who are in denial. It's a matter of personal preference in games. You clearly prefer a streamlined, polished, customizable experience. I prefer the exploratory and atmospheric experience. I agree that DS1 isn't as polished as the latter games, both in terms of gameplay itself, as well as in terms of accessibility, with the character resetting, the warping, the build variety, the easier restoration of humanity and so on. But these things, while welcome to an extent in those games, aren't missed by me in DS1. The actual experience of the game - the worldbuillding, the level design, the feeling of entrapment - they trump the game's mechanical faults, in my opinion. And the long paths and backtracking, only make the game more satisfying and immersive to me by forcing the developers to come up with ingenious continuity between very separate areas.
This makes so much sense in terms of the difficulty being subjective. I genuinely find bloodborne the easiest game to myself having an extremely aggressive play style. Whereas a more passive style gets punished. Great video!
I totally understand that part of what makes DaS1 so appealing is the struggle to find each bonfire on your first ever playthrough. But I prefer that DaS2 made all other playthroughs more fun. Bonfire Placement in DaS2 is maligned unfairly and represented poorly, often without context. The only obvious complaint is frequency of placement, which I agree with, because it lessens the stressful adventuring needed to find each coveted bonfire on a your first ever playthrough. But I got over that small disappointment and loved the bonfire SYSTEM for how it improves future playthroughs. Why? Bonfire Ascetics. Unusual builds could be created early game by accessing the new game + armory using Bonfire Ascetics. This moderately uncommon item can be burned, as often as desired, in a Bonfire so that the nearby area is permanently increased in level to the next higher new game +, which resets the area items and boss. This causes weapons and items, especially those that appear only in new game + or above, to become available in your first runthrough. From Software situated bonfires in DaS2 so that a single use of this powerful item wouldn't reset the loot from too large of an area or effect multiple bosses. Ascetics are the key to getting to play with whatever gear you want sooner than any other Souldbourne game.
Ye i agree, as much as i despise Dark souls 2, bonfire ascetics were a great idea. Allthough getting the final ring of blades is a bitch because i do not know if that would make my final boss NG+.
can the people who summoned for every boss fight the first time playthrough and havent dont another really say the Soulsborne games difficult? I summoned constantly for DS3 and BB first runthrough and beat it in less than two days, now im doing the games solo and holy shit i didnt realize how difficult it really is
i did half&half for bloodborne, but took it upon myself to at least beat logarius with my own hands the first time. i died like 20 times to win, but just when i won i said "fuck, this is a lot easier than i thought". you just need to use your brain WHILE fighting to win, it isn't like other rpg where it's brain first and action later, or just straight up action like (most)fps or straight up only brains like most strategy games, you have to do a bit of both, and as long as you don't lose your cool, pretty much almost everything in the soulsborne media is going to be easy. i say almost, because then there are bosses like darkfuckeater midir which one shots you if you're not embered and you can do nothing about it unless you use pestilent mercury which you can indeed lose in your first playthrough, even easier is to miss it. but even he has ways to beat him and not let him trigger the one shots, it's just REEEEEAAAALLY time consuming, way more than almost every boss in any fromsoft game. oh btw, the fight is on my channel, nothing special if you don't consider that before that i died 20 times and only once i almost had it.
Jeremy Nugent Yeah, but summons literally do the job FOR you. I mean, if you suck THAT bad, why play the game to begin with? Sure if its your 2nd playtrough and you wanna have some fun with your friends, gang all you want, but your first playthrough should always be alone if you want to get the real feel you BOUGHT THE GAME FOR. Like Why THE FUCK WOULD YOU BUY DS OR BB IF YOU DIDNT WANT CHALLENGE??? Just watch a playthrough if its too admire it lol.
You know, Midir really isn't that difficult of a boss. He gives you a free opportunity for at LEAST 2 hits on his head (Ultra Greatsword user) after most attacks, and his moves are pretty easy to read. I honestly don't see why so many people think it is so insanely difficult and unfair. They must be attacking the limbs and tail, or not reacting to extremely obvious attack tells...
Doing half and half as well for BB. But, somehow, the hardest battles were for me alone (Such a luck!), or: even better: The summon dies before the boss reaches second phase, so now I have to face an enraged boss (succeeded) For DS3, fought with summons first playthrough, lost my savegames before Ringed City and had to start all over again; no summons this time. DS1 was my first game and I learned that you can summon at the end of the game...

Arsames 1337 Becase DkS 1 runs so well on my laptop (like 20 frames tops) I should ditch the perfectly Smooth 60 frame SotFS and DkS 3 I have on ps4 because it pleases milord.
Arsames 1337 Jokes on you! I hates DkS 3 so I don't even care what frame rate it runs on! Besides I need my laptop for college so I can use my "low IQ" to write comprehensive papers on social science and study for exams.
Personally I think Demon’s Souls is one of the hardest but that’s probably because I played a dex build with basically no magic at all. I think it’s overall design is more unfair than Dark Souls but that’s probably why it deserves to be broken with insane magic builds. I think it’s a tale of two games, don’t use magic and have a bad time or use magic and turn the game into a joke.
Jeremiah Mercado i just started demons souls and im doing a strength build. I beat armor spider and working my way through Stonefang tunnel no problem so far.
@Death comes to all I wont say its the hardest, but I will say that to my young self at the time it is definately the one I look back to as the "moodiest", if that makes any sense to say.
The grappling mechanics are ludicrously unfair. If you touch an enemy during the animation you just get teleported into their grip and oneshot. I shamelessly save-quit when it happens
@@zachcarr6345 DS2. And there are a lot of them. Those Cyclops monster are the worst for it and I know that the Rotten has one too. Then there's Pursuer with his stabby Sword of Bullshit that teleports you onto the tip for massive damage if you roll into it AFTER he stabs. I haven't played the game in a while, but i know there are a few more
Wow, I find Demon's Souls one of the hardest as it is VERY vague & there are tonnes of unfair traps that you don't know are there unless you've already died from it.
You could like the guys before me said simply go for magic and go spam rays, fire or poison. you can go get one of the +1 weapons with the weird name that are the equivalent of a level 6 weapon early on, the cling ring and the thief ring will save your bacon. Bow and arrow is your best friend in this game it lets you cheese astraea, cheese the armored spider quite nicely among other bosses and to top it off it makes everything that seems like a bullshit ambush seem fair cuz u ended them from the distance. Also bosses in average arent really that hard as compared to ds1 or any of the other games. if bosses give you trouble u can bow+ thief ring for the win if you really want to get it over with quick and dirty.
The ancient dragon in DS2 was the hardest boss to me lol idk I couldn't comprehend the timing of wen he would fly up nd blow fire underneath himself. But it was also my first souls game too
I started my first game 4 weeks ago with dark souls 1. I've become addicted and logged like 300 hours already. On my 9th build already. The thing that disappointed me the most, was when I figured out after 2 weeks that you could co op bosses with solaire and players, and that you could powerlevel in darkroot. If I had known those 2 things at the start, I would be much further along now. Hell, even knowing that slumbering dragon/ fog ring existed changed my entire gameplay. You can ring of fog/ slumbering / poison arrow 95% of the game.
Jay Hubz Well that badass duo boss fight is going make DS1 the most punishing( not counting the Knight of Unpredictable Punisher and The Relentless Combo Smasher of the Abyss)
Adithya R what are you talking about the nameless king was easy compared to gwyn and both were the hardest in the game(unless you just parry Gwyn which is no fun.) by the way the nameless king is Gwyns oldest son which and his name is Sen
these games are drugs, they literally kill me on the inside, make me feel like I'm not good enough for this world, but I can't stop because I need to know I can beat them.... still haven't yet
Jacob Ogden because it's not meant to like demons souls the difficulty is in how it's trusts you to move and make way at your own pace it gives you ways to make it easy or make it harder demons souls has the highest difficulty spikes in the series as it offeres new game plus and character and world tendency and halves your health on death even with 100 percent hp a dreggling can basically 1 shot you in demons
Offensive Gen. It REALLY depends on the person, i am 20 years old i have been playing games since i was 5 so when i started the Souls franchise back when i was 16 , as hard as it was i did not found it as hard as people were saying. But still i have heard and know many who were stuck on the first levels of the game for weeks and were forfed to quit the game. So yeah, it rewlly depends
Now, I'm not gonna say I used over 400 Blood Vials before I downed "Laurence, The First Vicar"... but yeah, that's kinda what happened. The satisfaction and endorphin rush was still there even after all those attempts, though. Which is the true reward in these games tbh. (Lowkey, my opinion, Laurence is harder than Orphan, but that's not to say Orphan is a walk in the park by any means.)
In *my own* opinion, I find Bloodborne to be the hardest of the bunch. Purely for the much faster and aggresive design it was built around (I play very defensively in the other games, with a big shield in hand while luring the enemies one-by-one). And also the fact that Bloodborne was the first game I experienced where healing items were finite (again, I was too used to the estus flask from DkS1 and 2), so I actually started to struggle the *more* I fought against a boss. And while I never got the chance to fully complete it before my copy was taken away, the game was phenomenal during the time I had it in my hands. And I'm still debating to this day whether I should get a PS4 to play it again (among other games).
stefanfr13 I'm gonna get a PS4 when they're cheap for bloodborne and jak and daxter. I sold my PS4 without thinking about the fact I'd lose bloodborne :(
Parrying Gwyn is actually the hard way of beating him. The easy way of beating him sums up to 3 words: Homing. Crystal. Soulmass. Spam that and he's dead in no time. I haven't played all Soulsborne games but I don't think that anyone can rate their difficulty in any objective way. Just as you said, everyone struggles with different aspects of the game. Some people are impatient and can't bring themselves to take the time to learn an enemy's patterns. Others are the other way around, just too passive and defensive and don't play aggressively enough which really means instant death in some places, especially in Bloodborne. Some people suck at RPGs and end up leveling all sorts of useless stats in Dark Souls (ehm Resistance ehm) only to end up with a character that can't really do shit. My first ever Dark Souls character was a thief which I chose because it sounded cool, but was actually a bad choice for a rookie. I didn't go for any specific build, just leveled up whatever the heck I felt like, and never got past the Gargoyles. Then I hit reset, started a new character (I think a Bandit, maybe a Cleric idk) and ended up breezing through the Gargoyles like it's nobody's business. There are hurdles that are always hard like O&S of course but I beat that game so many times (with the same character, got to like NG+9) that even those stopped being all that tough. Except for that asshole Manus. God damn.
The easy way to beat Gywn is to bring your Sun-Bro along. Yeah, you gotta do a few things most new players aren't gonna figure out, but lucky for him, i felt sorry for the Spider Lady.
I feel as if Cuphead has a different kind of difficulty. I love the Soulsborne games and have beaten all of them. I gave up on Cuphead after reaching the second island. The Souls games are tough, but balanced and fair. Cuphead has excessive amounts of trial and error and is hard for hard’s sake. Cuphead is designed so you can’t help dying over and over until you memorise all the attack patterns.
@@James.Stark.Ben.Edition It is not quite the same. In Dark Souls it is technically possible to beat a boss on your first attempt if you play smart. There is no way to avoid dying over and over on the hardest Cuphead bosses until you memorize their patterns.
@@MindinViolet it's possible on cuphead as well. You just need fast reflexes. There's multiple bosses you can beat in cuphead on one try. And there's a few in dark souls as well. But that depends on luck. Not skill. You can easily die to pinwheel if you get bad luck. The same way you can kill the gargoyles if you have good luck with which attacks they do. When comparing pure skills needed and no button spammy bs (I'm looking at you bloodborne bosses), they're both literally the same.
Bloodborne is my first and favorite game in the series. Idk, the setting, music, weapons and lore just seem so neat for me. Also the fast paced fighting is so nice and feels cool
I can definitely respect all of those points, but I have never been able to adjust my combat tactics to meet bloodborne’s expectations. The lack of blocking and necessity of strange gun-parry timing also gives me a lot of trouble to this day.
Based on total # of deaths (revised for recent 100+ hours of each): Hardest to Easiest for ME for a New Game: 1. Dark Souls 2 SotFS 2. Dark Souls: Prepare to Die 3. Dark Souls Remastered (yes, it's easier because of the framerate fix! Though it IS darker, it's still significantly easier!) 4. Dark Souls 3 5. Bloodborne Hardest to Easiest for ME for end-game: 1. Dark Souls 3 2. Dark Souls: Prepare to Die 3. Dark Souls: Remastered 4. Bloodborne 5. Dark Souls 2 SotFS Hardest to Easiest for ME for DLC (still NG): 1. Dark Souls 2 SotFS (I swear these bosses are NEARLY damn IMPOSSIBLE!) 2. Dark Souls 3 3. Bloodborne 4. Dark Souls Prepare to Die 5. Dark Souls Remastered Hardest to Easiest for ME for NG+: 1. Dark Souls 2 SotFS 2. Dark Souls 3 3. Dark Souls Prepare to Die 4. Dark Souls Remastered 5. Bloodborne Ok, so what's going on here is the shift in difficulty depending on where you are in the game. Dark Souls 2 is by FAR the most difficult for me, I've never died more in a souls game as I have in Dark Souls 2. I'm just glad that Human Effigies are plentiful. Dark Souls 3's late game pisses me off too but it's not as bad as the 2nd. The first game's only difficult early on, it's harder to level up, but once you get a build going, it's really fun and rarely die aside from falling to get an item (I'm looking at that tree of cancer here..). The DLC isn't too bad in the first game either.
@@Izthefaithful thanks! Unfortunately I can't throw Sekiro in these lists because it's its own thing. I had to unlearn everything I learned from all the others. This made it tragically difficult at the start but much easier after beating it a few times. I still stick with the above list though and say that Dark Souls 2 is the most unforgiving.
PS3 costs about 70$ now, just buy it. 80ish bucks for demon souls experience is worth it IMO, I got around 60 hours of entertainment and played the last souls game I had yet to complete, worth way more than the 80$ it cost me
I would probably place the games as so: Dark Souls 2 Dark Souls Dark Souls 3 Bloodborne. (Bottom is easiest) Still enjoyed the video tho, Buns. It's always fun to see other people's opinions on these games.
For me Dark Souls 1 had the easiest bosses, but hardest environment design. I never died due to the environment I was in as much in any other FromSoft game
Bloodborne was my first Souls game (and is my absolute favourite in the series), but good LORD Dark Souls 1 punched me in to the ground more than any other game I’ve played.
@@jamesbell1186 sekiro is the easiest in the series. Spam block on everything and you get to instakill them lol you don't have to worry about perfectly placed attacks, healing or any of that just keep mashing and if you die revive before their bar starts going back down then rinse and repeat except for fear characters. Fear characters are shit and ds3 is easy as shit cause it's linear with nothing to prevent you from just running straight to the bosses. Ds3 is like sekiro in a way just roll through everything. The same CANNOT be said about ds1. Rolling ain't gone do shit for you against the 4kings, nito, Manus spamming his combo, and so fourth. Running is also not as good since enemies chase you to hell and back then clump up and block everything off or you run into the narrow ledges like with the knights inn anor londo blocking shit off
Bonfire are everywhere in ds3 every boss you kill they are all very close to each other they are not spaced out and in ds2 in my opinion the bonfire placement is balanced
This video is actually a literal joke hahaha. These games are actually made for 5 year olds. The first time I played Demons souls, I didn't die once and that was my first. Dark souls 1, I didn't even take damage my first playthrough. Git gud and grow the fuck up, kids. smh.
Oh my god I really hope you are joking
SuperButterBuns lmao yes I am 😂. I agreed with pretty much everything you said. Demons souls ripped me a new one because that was my first. After hearing your points on Ds1, I think I'd agree. I have to replay Demon's sometime. Ds1 is my favorite lore-wise but I'd have to say Ds3 has the best gameplay and is the most polished. DS2 was trash imo. All quantity instead of quality. Very good video!
god bless ya had me going for a sec, glad ya liked the video tho!

Dark souls 1 is great.... I have beat them all except demon souls
The hardest soulsborn game is the first you play
Patrick Weber amen
Not when the first one you play is Dark Souls 2
James Gillam dark souls 2 is still the hardest for me, I played it first and couldn’t beat it, tried 1 and found it way easier, then jumped to 3 which was harder than 1 but still fair, and FINALLY beat 2 but it’s still the toughest for me to beat haha!
Not necessarily, the first one I played was Bloodborne, and I actually did really well at that one. Then tried DS1, and I still haven't gotten past the Taurus Demon on purpose lol
I both agree and disagree. Personally i began with 3 and found it hard but it got easier quite quickly. However after playing the remaster I consider the original to be the hardest
"There's barely any RNG in these games" *flashes back to chalice dungeon gem farming*
Joe-Francis Kiaga Don’t remind me... *twitch twitch*
Eeeeh... Item drops are always RNG in every single souls/borne game, and the point of the chalice dungeons were to be randomly generated anyway. Otherwise, the core game of Bloodborne is no more or less RNG than the other titles.
*looks back fondly as one of the 1% who loves Chalice Dungeons*
Chalice dungeon items were a fucking cake walk. I assume you never farmed the dark souls 3 covenant items, or the pure bladestone in demons souls :p
Gonna assume you mean chalice dungeon materials / common gems. There are gems in Bloodborne that have taken 1000's of boss kills to find once.
At this point, Demon's Souls Remake is the hardest because of how impossible it is to get a PS5
I just wish they'd port it to PS4. I'm not gonna get a PS5 anytime soon. I kinda wanna play it before Elden Ring

Dark souls 2 was the hardest for me for 3 reasons
1. The max health cap decreasing upon death
2. Needing to level up agility just to be able to dodge
3. I never found a weapon that suited my play style
Brendan Wake idk I found bloodborne a lot harder than ds2. In ds2 you can get a ring that stops the health loss at %25 and by the end of the game I had around 90 human effigies
DS2 was difficult not because of its levels or fight design. It was difficult because the developers, which were not the same team as DS1, 3 or bloodbourne, thought the definition of difficulty was just throwing a large amount of mobs at you. You also could only turn in 8 different corrections, unlike a full 360 degree turn, making movement near impossible on narrow passages and the hit boxes on both you and the enemies/bosses were completely random. Also, damage done from falling was inconsistent and it depended more on which area of the game you were in, not the actual distance fallen. Ultimately, it was the flaws in the development of the game that made it more difficult, not the game itself.
Dark Souls 2 was hard because of poor design choices. I feel like DS3 is hardest due to more complex boss movesets and it being faster paced. But I can definitely understand how DS2 feels much harder sometimes. It feels harder for me but I believe that DS3 is objectively the harder game even though it was easier for me to beat.
@@tylerworrell4446 Dark Souls 3 is just spam roll lol. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 2 play alot more realistically. Specially Dark Souls 2 slow paced combat and stamina management.
What ruined ds2 for me was the enemies, most of them run as fast(or faster) than you and hit like tanks, also they have some very generic designs, which makes fighting against them a bit boring and repetitive, also they are positioned in a way that you can't see them
My first soulsborne was bloodborne and one key point on It's difficulty is the fact that if youre not all that good at dodging then you'll probably end up going insane and muttering something about blood and the cosmos
Bloodborne was my first too, then played DSR then tried Bloodborne again and holy shit did I miss having a shield!
It was my first too
So... the item madman's knowledge is just another player that went insane and met cthulu. Man... where's Vaatividya when you need him...
I also played Bloodborne first, which meant I never used a shield when I played the other games
played bloodborne first aswell. DS games feel a bit weird to me, especially DS2, but I still enjoy them, even though I wish I could just dodge and attack the way I want
I started with DS1 years after everyone else. I was having fun, dying constantly but slowly getting better. Then I had a stroke and lost a chunk of the part of the brain that helps with the timing of motions, and, welp, no more Dark Souls for me. Now every Soulsborne game is "the hard one." Too bad, though; it was originally right at the edge of what I could eventually develop the skills to get through, which can be fun when I'm in the right mood.
Aww that sounds horrible. I hope you've found other things that could give you the same joy that the DS series brings to all of us :D
Damn thats rough
Well you could go for a tank build, it's still hard but not as punishing if you're hit and I think it's better than not playing at all.
Oh lord I’m very sorry for what happend man, I really hope you are ok now

Didn't expect to see this guy here
I am glad that you finally called out those snots that call the game "easy", when it was clearly designed to be hard. Your sass has done our society justice once again, Miss ButterBuns. God Bless.
it was designed to be hard but there are some people who think it's alright and people who think it's easy. i personally think it's not hard and think it's pretty basic and easy but that doesn't mean i didn't die at all😊
@WB CASH yow me too but i've played sekiro too and because you move faster, strike faster and have stealth (also parkour) it's sooooo easy easier than even bloodborne and darksouls (for me that is)
literally learn how to play the game its extremely easy when you know you can run past everything and know exactly where everything is and stuff to upgrade items and where the items you need are like damn if you wanna get good watch some dark souls speed runs and every death you have gotten is because of your actions if people can beat the whole game killing every boss with an unupgraded broken straight sword literally doing not even 5 damage per hit dont fucking tell me boo whoo its hard because you don't know how to play like if someones playing cod and theyre doing bad because they dont know the map layout or what guns to use it doesnt make the game hard it just makes them stupid and bad at the game especially compared to other people like damn we challenge ourselves I beat the game at SL8 with nothing better than a +5 weapon just so i can be an asshole and invade people who havent killed gargoyles
@@Ronnie-Bagpipe you mean extremely easy once you've first sank 50+ hours into learning the layout of each level, the location of each enemy, and gotten upgraded weapons? LMAO I hope this was a joke my dude. Unless your SL8 run was the literal first time you ever played you're talking out your ass.
@@jonstein4606 its the first thing i did on remastered and part of the fun in games is learning everything about them especially dark souls but you can find videos that are walk though guides to uprgrade weapons to +10 before gargoyles easily and just because its not holding your hand doesnt mean its hard especially when you can run past basically everything thats not a boss EASILY its only hard if your committed to playing blind, if you look up a guide and find a shitty weapon that does a ton of damage at the beginning and think thats good enough your stupid and bad and you should watch the people who are experienced to learn how to really play and not just spam attacks and heals and hope you dont die
A few tips for new souls players that want to "get gud":
1. Weapon base damage isn't everything. Always go for the better stat scaling. NEVER use a raw stone weapon because it removes all stat scaling.
2. If you're having a hard time fighting a boss, back off a bit and study what moves they use when you're at a certain distance or position. Once you've figured them out you can use that to exploit them and punish when they wiff an attack.
3. Praise the sun.
Dragon Bone Smasher's B for life
Drunk Gamers git gud*
Raw weapons do have their uses, tho. For all those madmen attempting SL1 runs a raw broadsword is a godsend. Or to supplement a caster with a weapon. (I play mostly DS3, in the earlier games that is different)
I think the most single important advice for newcomers is not panicking during fights. This is a real thing
ALWAYS praise the sun
“What makes something more difficult, dying a lot or how gut-punching the death is”
Dark Souls - “Both take it or leave it”
The Soulsborne series isn't hard.
I mean some chill dude called ZeroLenny finished all the games with a broken sword and a torch! How hard can it be?
(War flashbacks to Nameless King, Orphan of Kos, Darkeater Midir, DS2 Hit-detection) Yeah, fun times.
I still don't understand the apparent difficulty of midir. 3 times I've faced him I beat him second try each time. First death I'm usually extremely close.
@@Bourikii2992 a lot of people dont know that you gotta fight him straight up and hit his head. So many people look at midir and immediately start slashing his ankles, therefore they can't see a single attack thats coming
Con Cahill he’s essentially the hardest boss in the entire franchise, from soft said something similar and that it was optional because most people wouldn’t even be able to beat
@@Bourikii2992 its the health. I make mistakes in my timings sometimes and so does everyone tf else apart from you apparently and as such a longer fight means more time to fuck up. My fights last a while
@@Bourikii2992 Darkeater Midir can be incredibly unpredictable with the fire attacks having more range than most people are used to. I know that with my first few tries, I tried dodging in certain directions that wound up being incredibly inconsistent and usually got me (and my stupid sorcerer build) killed.
That said, after being summoned in to help, I paid attention to one of the other players and discovered how Midir's attacks hang to the right a bit, which was the direction I kept dodging, and the direction I kept getting smacked by. Now, I can beat Midir with relatively little trouble.
did u just use tough fight and pinwheel in the same sentence
It is if you went into the catacombs early. I did. I had heard the game was really hard so I thought the catacombs was the first area. I didn't even find the stairs from the firelink bonfire until like four hours in when I reached the blocked gate near Nito. Walking out of the catacombs was _fun_
James Stark I always feel so sorry for those who first wander to catacombs instead of Undead Burg in Dark Souls 1. I never made that mistake but if i had I might not have finished the game ever.
@@James.Stark.Ben.Edition i feel your pain after making a new character i figured running to the catacombs to get to nito and get the gravelord sword as soon as i got to firelink would be pretty smart. No it wasn't, i cant tell u how many deaths it took me to ACTUALLY get into the tomb of the giants then make my way out.

Pinwheel was not a tough fight
The only people that don’t consider bloodborne to be part of the souls series are the people that haven’t bought a ps4 yet
Very odd Squirrel kek
Well,yeah(i have xbox but i *NEED* Bloodborne)
Very odd Squirrel i am saving up for a ps4 (and eventually a ps3 to play demon) and I still consider it a souls game
But I will most likely prefer other games as I am a very slow player (as in I prefer slow combat)
Armadyl Featherbreeze they arent the same story. If it was an age of water in bloodborne there would be emphasis on water. Kind of like how dark souls did with fire. It takes place in the player characters dreams. Even if the player character lives in the dark souls universe it would be a different story
Obadiah T does it really take place in the players dream? I mean, the hunters dream yeah, but the rest of the game? And in ds3, don't you join a covenant with emphasis on wolf blood? Or was that the abyss watchers? Maybe both? And they were searching for a cure to the curse of the soul by using blood. I think that's a reasonably strong tie. If I gotta find specifics I will, but I'm pretty sure that was a thing in ds3.

Dark Souls 2 is obviously the most difficult. Prowling Magus and Congregation? Borderline impossible. Dragonrider? Basically unkillable. Covetous Demon? Just give up, you can't win

Theres a secret easy mode in every SoulsBorne game.. It's called "Watching a walkthrough"
@Jason Lee There is absolutely no way to complete npc quests without a guide, one thing i hated about ds3 is how absolutely convoluted the quests are, for example siegward spawning in a random fucking well in a place where you only go there once, written guides are the go to because they don't have as much spoiler.
@@WhiteStray Hated about dark souls 3? The questlines were fucked in every souls game.
amen. Platinum Chasers and Fightin Cowboy are my true saviors.
Ds2 is the most difficult. I feel like most souls players dont bother to go back and play through it again but it is most definitely the hardest game in the series. Stamina management is a real thing, weapons break regularly, and the sheer volume of enemies is staggering. On top of that Eleum Loyce is the single hardest area in all of soulsborne, with huge sections of the map needed to be explored before you find a single bonfire and areas such as raindeer orgy gank fuck zone exist.
I dissagre, Eleum Loyce was a really fun area, and the boss fight was one of the best ones. Fought, as i didnt know that you can get 4 knights to fight with you i wasted around 5 hours of my life trying to kill the ivory king, the search for the knights to rally one last time to defeat their king to free him of chaos, and fighting together with npcs that arent summons, the size of the fight and everything else. One of the better boss fights in the gamr
I'm at drangleic castle, just kill the 2 dragonraiders. I really think once you know what you're doing the game doesn't seem to be so hard. Yes it is challenging and don't get me wrong, I have died more than 500 times, but it is manageable. If can beat it I think I'm gonna try dark souls 3 next.
Scholar of the first sin is the hardest to me because they threw in a lot of ganks. In terms of getting through the game, it wins. In terms of bosses, probably DS Remastered so far but the Estus mechanic in ds2 sucks ass
@@xula10 well, all sos games are hard no matter what
Narednik Đubo just finished the game. Just summon a phantom once, in the mirror shield boss, the one who summons to. As I said the game is manageable cause it's fair enough if you invest in your character. Very glad I gave this a 2nd chance cause I felt my self getting better boss by boss. Gonna get 3 for sure.
Surprise.
The actual answer is Sekiro.
You beat me to it! Yup, Sekiro. No summons, no over leveling, no top tier equipment upgrades, just pretty much all skill. Most of the real upgrades you get require you to beat the bosses, which are way harder than any of the previous souls games. (the very first mini boss will cause the same kind of headaches most end game bosses from Souls games do) The fact that you get warp around the game world at will doesn't do jack for you when you just keep dying at every mini boss or boss!
The main reason it's hard is because it's different and pretty soon the hardest Soulsborne is all of them because then you won't be used to those ones
Sekiro is way way harder than any dark souls game, but DS has multiplayer, which makes it more cancer when you think about giantdads or parry lords.
It may be harder but I feel like it lacks a lot of the fun of soulsborne games cause theres barely any character freedom. I like that I can make my own builds and get completely different experiences each playthrough. When you change up your build, it even changes how well you do with bosses. First time I played bloodborne I had a skill strength character and beat the hell out of most bosses pretty easily but my new arcane skill character makes smaller bosses easier but the bigger bosses get much harder. I like sekiro and I still think it's better than most other games but i dont think itll ever have the replayability of literally every soulsborne game
@@decrabtra I understand where you're coming from, but the Soulsborne games are special and one of those special things is the character customization so if you don't like that game doesn't have character customization, you're basically saying you don't like it because it isn't dark souls/ Bloodbourne.
manus is the hardest game... wait, is that not a game? OOOOH right it's just because I tried to beat him for 30 hours.
Idk, only died to him like once on my first run. Why is everyone saying he's hard? What am i missing? Like, the only bosses that can realistically kill me are O&S and Bed of Bullshit
O&S and Manus are both a challenge for me as well.
In my first playthrough, I beat O&S on my third try, but I fought manus for what might've literally been 5 hours. Probably died to him 50+ times.
@@TheZakR
Yeah, it took me more than 3x for O/S, but Manus is on another level. This is solo, no summons (I let my PS4 membership lapse, lol). Manus is a beast. I've actually stepped away from him for a while and gone back to DS3--I've been soloing all bosses in the Bloodsouls games for the last 3 months, and so far Manus is up there with Darkeater Midir, at least for me.
Beat O & S on my first try... took about 30 tries for Manus
She: Ranks dark souls 2 on second easiest.

@@abdur4754 I'm not sure beating the pursuer is easier than pirate cove for beginners. On my first playthrough though I thought the pursuer was the only way forward.
@@taylorcorbridge1492 you can always use the ballista. still requires some skill, but it makes the the fight possible for a new player.
Bruh. Hit detection in DS2 is the real bossfight
Taylor Corbridge tip for the pursuer always try and be behind him and if there facing towards you then dodge towards the shield it took me about twenty tries but it was worth it in the end also try getting a mace it deals better damage than swords against he’s style of armour and most of the armour styles in the game like I got lucky and on my second play through (which I only got to because I gave up on my first one after three bosses) I used the petrified something in the nest thing at the start because reasons and got by far my favourite weapon in the game so far the demons great hammer which destroys every armour wearing guy yet
"Mass community surveys" Pretty sure that's theDeModcracy. "Six hour long critical analysis" That would be Joseph Anderson, and probably a few others.

y'all need to gut gud scribs. I have never played a vido game in my life and I beat Dark Souls 3 with no estus, no bonfire, soul lvl 1 torch as only weapon, no rolls, no lock on, no saving, no savequit, no running, only able to walk, and I was using a USB steering wheel and pedals as controller, and I literally had three red invaders chasing me the whole nonstop playthrough that I took literally zero breaks during it, while I had my TV upside down, while I had to pee immensely bad and I was in a permanent plank push up position on the ground while balancing my phone on my foot which was above a bowl of water, while I was wearing sunglasses and it was night time and all lights were off in house. EZ, dark sols is EZ trash praise sun etc
pah steering wheel?! filthy causal, I played the game with kinect and without my gaming chair, of course I didnt die a single time

Or as Miyazaki says: “It’s not because my game is hard, it’s because you as a player, suck at it. But thank you all for the support, our team couldn’t have come this far without you all.”
Demon's Souls on NG+ and beyond. The enemies have health bars bigger than the titanic, they hit like trucks on steroids and if you run out of grass you might as well give up on that character and make a new one.
Orphan of Kos agreed. demons souls is the only game I can't beat on new game plus. couldn't even beat phalanx 😂.
Orphan of Kos unless you get the northern regalia your first play through and your basically god for the next few play throughs
I didn't know you could run out of grass without trying to.

Weaver ds3 was bad in almost every way in pvp
Dark Souls 1 10/10 hardest game, why? Fps drops are harder than every mob concievable.
^True. Dark Souls 1 is the eaiest (and the worst) imo.
Marek Tužák remastered was such a trash move but it still sells cause ds1 is so good
I die more from falling than evorything else combined mulltiplied by 2.
11:08 "Dark Souls 2 is just a walk down tutorial park followed by a blinding sun and a pretty lady. Not exactly a stressful situation."
My totally inept at talking to pretty ladies ass would beg to differ.
While I agree with most everything you said I’d have to say dark souls 2 is the hardest IF you do not choose the sorcerer. Seems like way more bosses & more areas. I can start ds1 & 3 with deprives & have absolutely no problem getting into the areas where weapons & gear are. Ds 2 just overwhelms you when you decide to go this route.
William Biddinger yeah early game does not a lot of good stuff.
Yeah ds2 is my hardest game as well as Blood Borne
I'd have to disagree, depends on how gud you are with the sorcerer as I have beat the game 3 times with the knight yet have tried my hardest and nearly beat the game with the sorcerer and gave up
TBH, the easiest route i have gone in DS2 was str build. seriously. you just need to be naked, use the club until you can use the great club and GG. you 1 shot everything, and chunk bosses like never before. or the craftsman hammer.
Ill admit the dark orb mage is pretty broken.
And the dedicated lightning build made me understand why they nerfed the spells... they literally destroy ANY enemy.
I've beaten all the soulborne games. All but the 2nd ds, I played for an hour then returned to the store for another game, still gets me sometimes
I loved Bloodborne because it forced you to use to look for shortcuts (a good example is the Forbidden Woods) like you did in the first Dark Souls, while still keeping a teleport system which made the tedious backtracking irrelevant.
I think this is a bad think because in Bloodborne Shortcuts always felt so unimporant but in ds1 were you realy had to walk all the way back shortcuts were alway an reward.
@@w.s.7567 Bloodborne's shortcuts always felt important because there were so few lanterns for the most part. At least to me.

@@w.s.7567 The one to the left of the first Lantern, next to the NPC who ended up becoming a werewold, or the one at the start of the area full of snakes, or the 5 or 6 that lead to farming locations without needing 5 minutes of walking.
@@dracosfire7247 Ok the first one is until this day for me useless. In Yharnahm there is no danger whatsover and thanks to the Gascoine cheese there is even less danger. I dont farm so these were useless. But the one in Vorbidden Forest was so helpfull. Yes I agree on that one.
The deaths I'm most ashamed of is when starting as sorcerer grabbing the crown of dusk and forgetting the magic weakness you get in exchange for the sorcery boost then running up to crystal sage and getting destroyed multiple times before I read through the crowns item description fully...
Xanadu lol many players online on RUclips follow that same death pattern. Read the fine print before you use something lol
“Parrying Gwynn until you powderise the guy” Me trying to beat him when I didn’t know what a parry was
DS1 is probably the hardest for a completely blind playthrough due to how confusing it is and not starting with bonfire wrapping, but it's also the easiest once you have the knowledge. Bloodborne's the hardest overall because no shield, no arrows, no free healing, and PaPa G boss fight right in the beginning.
Dark Souls 1 banks on you not knowing anything. Once you learn that esoteric knowledge you can fuck over just about everything.
How is bloodborne hard just because you need a different play style
Randy Randalman im a dark souls noob playin ds3 and based off the short description you gave+what little i know, bloodborne will be the easiest for me cuz fuck sheilds fuck armor fuck ranged attacks fuck vigor (i have only 1 upgrade in it) go stamina and carry load all the way, fuck a good starting class (deprived all the way) and give me that maximum roll distance+a big fuckin sword and i am absolutely ripping the early game a new one (the catacombs made me frown a lot tho) has to be said i got to the abyss watchers on my first playthrough wasting every upgrade material i had not knowing/understanding (i still dont really) the crafting system and died waaaaay to much but now have yet to die to a boss. Iv seen people play bloodborne and i am simply drooling for that little dash thing they do, ill be invincible once i get it im absolutely sure :)... Or as close as it gets.
Randy Randalman i believe bloodborne and dark souls 3 are equal in difficulty, to me dark souls 1 wasnt really that hard, now with rhe dlcs having the best hardest fights in the series and the worst hardest fight in the series (a good hard fight being gael and friede and a bad hard fight beong midir cause fuck midir)
100% agreed
I recommend playing your first souls game while ABSOLUTELY SMASHED.
It's a very unique experience
Filipe Vasconcelos I did it on acid. That’s why I fell in love with the series. The story captured me then the shear difficulty impressed the hell out of me
Went back and played ds1 on acid like in April. Did better than expected but I was freaked out when the dogs in lower undead parish flew onto the screen from the perifery of my center screen tunnel vision
I played Dark Souls 2 at like 6 am on January 1st after everyone had passed out after NYE mashed off my face.
I just ran from Majula to Heide's Tower of Flame like 30 times getting squished by the giant knight dudes and honestly? it was a really calming and mellow experience
I played Sekiro for the first time on Shrooms and when the flying enemy comes towards you on that roof i threw my controller🤣
I played ds3 drunk once and I had the brilliant idea to fight the ancient wyvern head on. Needless to say, it was a nightmare.
I agree that Dark Souls was the hardest. Aside from that, frenzy is the worst, most annoying thing in the entire series.
Nightmare of Mensis makes me want to shove nails in my eyes
Agreed, I can't fathom what the devs were thinking with this one.
Firelurker is the hardest boss
Thank fucking God that it wasn't a big section of the game and you could rush through it.
plus the fact that people afraid of spiders fainted half way through
Yeah and the winter lanterns they are like the definition of frenzy the effect makes you lose 90% of your health plus you get the effect just by staying close to them and this is fucked up also their grab attack will not only give you frenzy but suck your health out I hate these things they are literally the worst and should have been nerfed
Soulsborn games: "YOU CANNOT DEFEAT US, MORTAL!"
Buns:"CHEESE! CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!"
Learning the areas in soulsborne has been probably the easiest aspect for me as I tend to just have a great memory for maps and level design consistencies
Xanadu For some reason I know maps of all Soulsborne (exept Demon's. I didn't play it tho.), but I'm horrible in orientation in real world. I get lost so easily in big towns lol
Emilijus Kravciukas SAME

When I first played Dark Souls 1 I didn’t know you had to ring the bells I was just killing bosses

Andrew 123 new games plus demons souls literally is the most punishing jump in difficulty
jdr ok demon souls is the only souls game I haven't played so I can't argue about that im talking about my expirience from ds1 ds2 ds3 and bloodborne but I believe you
Andrew 123 you should play demons it's fun but epic name bro has a demons souls 100 percent play through that had him go through 4 or 5 times because he made 2 of 1 boss item but that new game plus ramp was murdering him when he is a lot better at these games then I am and I can beat all but dark souls 3 just burnt out on the series so dark souls 3 doesn't get my love dark souls 1 I just roll into damage because it's not bloodbourne and I use lock on to remember attack timing when I haven't played it in 2 years and demons idk I quit that when I got a ps4
Andrew 123 I hated bloodborne in my first playthrough, loved it ever since. Always hated ds3 though
Exactly. I thought ds3 would be easy when I went from ds1, but it was the same shit. Trial and error while learning enemy patterns. I disagree with the “hardest souls game is the first”, because in each game the enemies are different and you have to learn them. The only thing I brought with me from ds1 was understanding this, and learning to die over and over while learning the patterns.
Salt and Sanctuary definitely has the mystery feeling for me, learning how the strange island came to be and the mysterious presence following the player
I hate the git gud crowd. Not because it's not important but because about 80% of them never got gud themselves. They only say it to make themselves feel cool. The game was extremely hard for me at first and I rage quit maybe a dozen times. But I hate not beating a game and eventually made my way through and won. Now I effortlessly beat them and when I have an opportunity to help someone do the same I gladly do so. So now when I see some asshat tell a new player to git gud I just automatically assume that person has never beat a souls game and has no idea how offer advice so they just parrot what they saw the original souls badass say. Don't be that person treat others how you want and offer real advice when asked.
Ivan Enfinger I agree with your statement. The game humbles you from beginning to end. The crowd that says just “git gudd” probably never even finished the game. Scrubs.
Git gud is just a dickhead way to tell someone the only real way to not die half the time is to play the game
@@lowgizzle im late but i still say git gud, tho honestly i didnt git gud for a very long time, it was super rewarding beating the first dark souls after nearly 500 hours across all the games, and my first playthrough was of dark souls 2, and i died 150 times to beat the game, shrine of amana prepatched was a nightmare!
I had to look up a guide for the "Usurpation of Fire" ending for Dark Souls 3. Like there's so many specific steps to follow, how in the fuck is someone supposed to just *FIGURE THAT ALL OUT.*
Syfyky Trial and Error. Iy would take multiple playthroughs to realize such a thing, but there comes a point where you find something new each time you start a new game. I cannot speak for myself, but I believe that there are the tenacious ones in this community who have discovered it on their own, as they have the curiosity and time to do so.
Finding Arch Dragon peak was way harder to find compared to Ash Lake.
Is it bad that I accidentally got that ending my first time through? I just asked myself what would Yoel want me to do and wound up married to some lady I met on the road of sacrifices.
the only thing i had to look up in the internet was the very end wheather or not to link the fire, it was such a good ending though
The only part that's really at all difficult is getting all the hollowing levels in time. How hollowing actually works is weird and you probably won't figure it out, but if you just talk to the guy every once in a while and die a reasonable amount you'll probably get the levels you need. After that you just need to not find Horace in the lake and tell Anri where he is while she's in that place, easy enough to do accidentally by missing the lake entirely or putting it off until you reach Irithyll and follow the instructions of the creepy lady and not do the Betrayal ending which is pretty easy.
Your explanation of "why Dark Souls is the hardest" came off as a compelling argument as to why it's also probably the best.
Anthony Ha its really really really not the best. Its so overrated
naah, i vastly prefer ds3 and bloodborne even though 1 was my first. they suffer drawbacks sure, but the improvements far outweighs 1 by a landslide. everything from the environmental art designs to the enemy and boss designs are leagues better than 1. not to mention even the normal enemies in 3 and BB have more attack variety and phases than even the bosses in. i also think in-area level design in 3 is better than 1. cathedral of the deep and undead settlement has some of the best shortcuts to a single bonfire in a single area, and there are a shitload of those types of shortcuts sprinkled all over 3, although ds1 is still the master of area-to-area or whole-world level design. well the first half at least...the 2nd half of ds1 is almost universally dreadful, unlike bb and ds3.
It's the best because it's poorly designed? Don't get me wrong, i love first Dark Souls, but i also think that people tend to take every bad thing from it and turn it into an advantage. Long, boring paths to bosses for example (Artorias, Bed of Chaos). Or even not being able to warp to every bonfire which greatly increases time spent on running through low level regions. Not being able to reset your character is also a pain in the ass, for it means that the build you were thinking of during leveling up becomes your primary one and you're stuck with it.
Oh, and by the way, fanbois of DS1 are kind of shitbags when it comes to arguing about why DS1 ain't that great or why DS2 is actually a really good game (i find them both really enjoyable to play and i couldn't just say that one is better than another, due to the flaws of DS1 and some not-so-well-thought decisions from DS2).
mastergame1311 exactly, ds1 is so overrated and Ive never heard a good argument for it being the best
mastergame1311 I think you're mistaking your own preferences for "poor design". Don't disregard people who enjoy those aspects of DS1 as being fanboy "shitbags" who are in denial. It's a matter of personal preference in games. You clearly prefer a streamlined, polished, customizable experience. I prefer the exploratory and atmospheric experience. I agree that DS1 isn't as polished as the latter games, both in terms of gameplay itself, as well as in terms of accessibility, with the character resetting, the warping, the build variety, the easier restoration of humanity and so on. But these things, while welcome to an extent in those games, aren't missed by me in DS1. The actual experience of the game - the worldbuillding, the level design, the feeling of entrapment - they trump the game's mechanical faults, in my opinion. And the long paths and backtracking, only make the game more satisfying and immersive to me by forcing the developers to come up with ingenious continuity between very separate areas.
This makes so much sense in terms of the difficulty being subjective. I genuinely find bloodborne the easiest game to myself having an extremely aggressive play style. Whereas a more passive style gets punished. Great video!
I totally understand that part of what makes DaS1 so appealing is the struggle to find each bonfire on your first ever playthrough. But I prefer that DaS2 made all other playthroughs more fun.
Bonfire Placement in DaS2 is maligned unfairly and represented poorly, often without context. The only obvious complaint is frequency of placement, which I agree with, because it lessens the stressful adventuring needed to find each coveted bonfire on a your first ever playthrough. But I got over that small disappointment and loved the bonfire SYSTEM for how it improves future playthroughs. Why? Bonfire Ascetics. Unusual builds could be created early game by accessing the new game + armory using Bonfire Ascetics. This moderately uncommon item can be burned, as often as desired, in a Bonfire so that the nearby area is permanently increased in level to the next higher new game +, which resets the area items and boss. This causes weapons and items, especially those that appear only in new game + or above, to become available in your first runthrough. From Software situated bonfires in DaS2 so that a single use of this powerful item wouldn't reset the loot from too large of an area or effect multiple bosses. Ascetics are the key to getting to play with whatever gear you want sooner than any other Souldbourne game.
Ye i agree, as much as i despise Dark souls 2, bonfire ascetics were a great idea. Allthough getting the final ring of blades is a bitch because i do not know if that would make my final boss NG+.
Bonfire ascétics... yeah i remember farming fire keep endlessly i wanted all my weapons maxed
Forgot I wrote this, and was about to comment the same exact thing.
can the people who summoned for every boss fight the first time playthrough and havent dont another really say the Soulsborne games difficult? I summoned constantly for DS3 and BB first runthrough and beat it in less than two days, now im doing the games solo and holy shit i didnt realize how difficult it really is
i did half&half for bloodborne, but took it upon myself to at least beat logarius with my own hands the first time.
i died like 20 times to win, but just when i won i said "fuck, this is a lot easier than i thought".
you just need to use your brain WHILE fighting to win, it isn't like other rpg where it's brain first and action later, or just straight up action like (most)fps or straight up only brains like most strategy games, you have to do a bit of both, and as long as you don't lose your cool, pretty much almost everything in the soulsborne media is going to be easy.
i say almost, because then there are bosses like darkfuckeater midir which one shots you if you're not embered and you can do nothing about it unless you use pestilent mercury which you can indeed lose in your first playthrough, even easier is to miss it.
but even he has ways to beat him and not let him trigger the one shots, it's just REEEEEAAAALLY time consuming, way more than almost every boss in any fromsoft game.
oh btw, the fight is on my channel, nothing special if you don't consider that before that i died 20 times and only once i almost had it.
Summons are a mechanic. Don't feel ashamed for using a game mechanic. That's like being ashamed of using the storm ruler on yhorm.
Jeremy Nugent Yeah, but summons literally do the job FOR you. I mean, if you suck THAT bad, why play the game to begin with? Sure if its your 2nd playtrough and you wanna have some fun with your friends, gang all you want, but your first playthrough should always be alone if you want to get the real feel you BOUGHT THE GAME FOR. Like Why THE FUCK WOULD YOU BUY DS OR BB IF YOU DIDNT WANT CHALLENGE??? Just watch a playthrough if its too admire it lol.
You know, Midir really isn't that difficult of a boss. He gives you a free opportunity for at LEAST 2 hits on his head (Ultra Greatsword user) after most attacks, and his moves are pretty easy to read. I honestly don't see why so many people think it is so insanely difficult and unfair. They must be attacking the limbs and tail, or not reacting to extremely obvious attack tells...
Doing half and half as well for BB. But, somehow, the hardest battles were for me alone (Such a luck!), or: even better: The summon dies before the boss reaches second phase, so now I have to face an enraged boss (succeeded)
For DS3, fought with summons first playthrough, lost my savegames before Ringed City and had to start all over again; no summons this time.
DS1 was my first game and I learned that you can summon at the end of the game...

+juan manuel Brac Cause it's easy, and it does a lot of damage.
Arsames 1337 Becase DkS 1 runs so well on my laptop (like 20 frames tops) I should ditch the perfectly Smooth 60 frame SotFS and DkS 3 I have on ps4 because it pleases milord.
Arsames 1337 Jokes on you! I hates DkS 3 so I don't even care what frame rate it runs on! Besides I need my laptop for college so I can use my "low IQ" to write comprehensive papers on social science and study for exams.
Personally I think Demon’s Souls is one of the hardest but that’s probably because I played a dex build with basically no magic at all. I think it’s overall design is more unfair than Dark Souls but that’s probably why it deserves to be broken with insane magic builds. I think it’s a tale of two games, don’t use magic and have a bad time or use magic and turn the game into a joke.
Agree, DeS is more unforgiving, I used magic but only "casually", never did a mage character.
I tried pure strength build and a halberd as weapon. Its like demon souls on easy mode.
Jeremiah Mercado i just started demons souls and im doing a strength build. I beat armor spider and working my way through Stonefang tunnel no problem so far.
You need to make a mage...
@Death comes to all I wont say its the hardest, but I will say that to my young self at the time it is definately the one I look back to as the "moodiest", if that makes any sense to say.
ds1? very tough, but very fair.
ds2? not really tough, but has tons of bullcrap that onetaps you without warning.
The grappling mechanics are ludicrously unfair. If you touch an enemy during the animation you just get teleported into their grip and oneshot. I shamelessly save-quit when it happens
@a normal everyday Spider ds3 is fair for the most part, but some enemies do stupid damage.
wdym no? have you not played both games?
@@trequor in what game? i dont remember any grab attacks in ds2
@@zachcarr6345 DS2. And there are a lot of them. Those Cyclops monster are the worst for it and I know that the Rotten has one too. Then there's Pursuer with his stabby Sword of Bullshit that teleports you onto the tip for massive damage if you roll into it AFTER he stabs. I haven't played the game in a while, but i know there are a few more
These videos have a real problem with extensively beating around the bush
I feel like this video has dulled all sensations in life.
Wow, I find Demon's Souls one of the hardest as it is VERY vague & there are tonnes of unfair traps that you don't know are there unless you've already died from it.
Lewis Wood Magic.
Lewis Wood It's the most vague one but the bosses and enemies are more simple than in the others. You never run out of grass either.
Lewis Wood Not to mention that magic makes the whole game trivial.
You could like the guys before me said simply go for magic and go spam rays, fire or poison. you can go get one of the +1 weapons with the weird name that are the equivalent of a level 6 weapon early on, the cling ring and the thief ring will save your bacon. Bow and arrow is your best friend in this game it lets you cheese astraea, cheese the armored spider quite nicely among other bosses and to top it off it makes everything that seems like a bullshit ambush seem fair cuz u ended them from the distance. Also bosses in average arent really that hard as compared to ds1 or any of the other games. if bosses give you trouble u can bow+ thief ring for the win if you really want to get it over with quick and dirty.
Miko Hietala magic only makes new game easy new game plus it starts to show you the rest of the series is for pussies
The ancient dragon in DS2 was the hardest boss to me lol idk I couldn't comprehend the timing of wen he would fly up nd blow fire underneath himself. But it was also my first souls game too
Nekko Miller The Biggest dragon in ds2 is easy if u stay in between his toes and if he does fly up follow the right shadow of his tail
Brent Ramsten yeh max lv seriosly way easy to just stay between his toes
he is alo a piece of shit boss with horrible design
You mean the elemental defence tutorial? No need to bend down to that unfairness if you stack fire resist and negate 99% of his damage.
To be fair, a lot of bosses in Dark Souls 2 base game suffer from bad boss design.
I started my first game 4 weeks ago with dark souls 1. I've become addicted and logged like 300 hours already. On my 9th build already. The thing that disappointed me the most, was when I figured out after 2 weeks that you could co op bosses with solaire and players, and that you could powerlevel in darkroot. If I had known those 2 things at the start, I would be much further along now. Hell, even knowing that slumbering dragon/ fog ring existed changed my entire gameplay. You can ring of fog/ slumbering / poison arrow 95% of the game.
Ooooh!!! I love these long vids! They're a nice thing to watch^_^
Also dark souls 1 was definitely my favorite souls games and was the most punishing on me
Jay Hubz Well that badass duo boss fight is going make DS1 the most punishing( not counting the Knight of Unpredictable Punisher and The Relentless Combo Smasher of the Abyss)
Jay Hubz I love DS3 :)
Adithya R what are you talking about the nameless king was easy compared to gwyn and both were the hardest in the game(unless you just parry Gwyn which is no fun.) by the way the nameless king is Gwyns oldest son which and his name is Sen
Jay Hubz dark souls 3 had some tough bosses for ng++ but ds1? it was extremely unbalanced I honestly dont see how anyone had any trouble in ds1
I find Bloodborne to be the most punishing one since pretty much every boss and even some regular enemies can instakill you.
1. Ds2
2. Demon souls
3. Ds1
4. Bloodborne
5. Ds3
(Ignoring the DLC)
Been playing the Elden Ring DLC now. The line idea of how often you die vs how punishing each death is rings so true
these games are drugs, they literally kill me on the inside, make me feel like I'm not good enough for this world, but I can't stop because I need to know I can beat them.... still haven't yet
Was ready to go to sleep, but Buns uploaded.
Tbh tho, when I first heard of Dark Souls, I expected it to be so much harder than it actually was
Just started DS 2 and was like but why isn't everything insta-killing my pleb ass.
Jacob Ogden because it's not meant to like demons souls the difficulty is in how it's trusts you to move and make way at your own pace it gives you ways to make it easy or make it harder demons souls has the highest difficulty spikes in the series as it offeres new game plus and character and world tendency and halves your health on death even with 100 percent hp a dreggling can basically 1 shot you in demons
Smae
Same here except with bloodborne instead
Offensive Gen.
It REALLY depends on the person, i am 20 years old i have been playing games since i was 5 so when i started the Souls franchise back when i was 16 , as hard as it was i did not found it as hard as people were saying.
But still i have heard and know many who were stuck on the first levels of the game for weeks and were forfed to quit the game.
So yeah, it rewlly depends
Now, I'm not gonna say I used over 400 Blood Vials before I downed "Laurence, The First Vicar"... but yeah, that's kinda what happened. The satisfaction and endorphin rush was still there even after all those attempts, though. Which is the true reward in these games tbh. (Lowkey, my opinion, Laurence is harder than Orphan, but that's not to say Orphan is a walk in the park by any means.)
Agreed. Laurence is the hardest boss in all of From Software’s games
In *my own* opinion, I find Bloodborne to be the hardest of the bunch. Purely for the much faster and aggresive design it was built around (I play very defensively in the other games, with a big shield in hand while luring the enemies one-by-one).
And also the fact that Bloodborne was the first game I experienced where healing items were finite (again, I was too used to the estus flask from DkS1 and 2), so I actually started to struggle the *more* I fought against a boss.
And while I never got the chance to fully complete it before my copy was taken away, the game was phenomenal during the time I had it in my hands. And I'm still debating to this day whether I should get a PS4 to play it again (among other games).
Vazazell I think ds1 had that a lot too. I didn't mind. I actually like dodging through attacks..it's satisfying
stefanfr13 I'm gonna get a PS4 when they're cheap for bloodborne and jak and daxter. I sold my PS4 without thinking about the fact I'd lose bloodborne :(
Darkeater fucking Midir.

ALL STARS Hey bro could you help me with DEM?
MightyBoot ORPHAN OR KOS
MightyBoot I just imagined some enemy called Dark Eater raping a guy named Midir lol
More like dickeater midir
the main reason i play these is to collect EVERYTHING and get all items, armor and weapons including farming.
haha fosho same.
Parrying Gwyn is actually the hard way of beating him. The easy way of beating him sums up to 3 words: Homing. Crystal. Soulmass. Spam that and he's dead in no time.
I haven't played all Soulsborne games but I don't think that anyone can rate their difficulty in any objective way. Just as you said, everyone struggles with different aspects of the game. Some people are impatient and can't bring themselves to take the time to learn an enemy's patterns. Others are the other way around, just too passive and defensive and don't play aggressively enough which really means instant death in some places, especially in Bloodborne. Some people suck at RPGs and end up leveling all sorts of useless stats in Dark Souls (ehm Resistance ehm) only to end up with a character that can't really do shit. My first ever Dark Souls character was a thief which I chose because it sounded cool, but was actually a bad choice for a rookie. I didn't go for any specific build, just leveled up whatever the heck I felt like, and never got past the Gargoyles. Then I hit reset, started a new character (I think a Bandit, maybe a Cleric idk) and ended up breezing through the Gargoyles like it's nobody's business. There are hurdles that are always hard like O&S of course but I beat that game so many times (with the same character, got to like NG+9) that even those stopped being all that tough. Except for that asshole Manus. God damn.
The easy way to beat Gywn is to bring your Sun-Bro along. Yeah, you gotta do a few things most new players aren't gonna figure out, but lucky for him, i felt sorry for the Spider Lady.
The hardest Souls game is Cuphead, end of discussion.
TheSilverWolf1998 ,
Swing it you sinner!
I feel as if Cuphead has a different kind of difficulty. I love the Soulsborne games and have beaten all of them. I gave up on Cuphead after reaching the second island. The Souls games are tough, but balanced and fair. Cuphead has excessive amounts of trial and error and is hard for hard’s sake. Cuphead is designed so you can’t help dying over and over until you memorise all the attack patterns.
@@MindinViolet lol that's what souls is about as well. Dying over and over until you know the patterns like the back of your hand.
@@James.Stark.Ben.Edition
It is not quite the same. In Dark Souls it is technically possible to beat a boss on your first attempt if you play smart. There is no way to avoid dying over and over on the hardest Cuphead bosses until you memorize their patterns.
@@MindinViolet it's possible on cuphead as well. You just need fast reflexes. There's multiple bosses you can beat in cuphead on one try. And there's a few in dark souls as well. But that depends on luck. Not skill. You can easily die to pinwheel if you get bad luck. The same way you can kill the gargoyles if you have good luck with which attacks they do. When comparing pure skills needed and no button spammy bs (I'm looking at you bloodborne bosses), they're both literally the same.
I beat Demons Souls. Dark Souls broke me. Would play again though. PS4 remaster please? My ps3 died and Im pretty sure Dark Souls is what killed it.
Chaz Strain buy the pc version
Demon's Souls remaster ples.
Was it those frame drops in blighttown? Pretty sure my xbox started smoking when i entered those areas
Bloodborne is my first and favorite game in the series. Idk, the setting, music, weapons and lore just seem so neat for me. Also the fast paced fighting is so nice and feels cool
I can definitely respect all of those points, but I have never been able to adjust my combat tactics to meet bloodborne’s expectations. The lack of blocking and necessity of strange gun-parry timing also gives me a lot of trouble to this day.

Ok, so what's going on here is the shift in difficulty depending on where you are in the game. Dark Souls 2 is by FAR the most difficult for me, I've never died more in a souls game as I have in Dark Souls 2. I'm just glad that Human Effigies are plentiful. Dark Souls 3's late game pisses me off too but it's not as bad as the 2nd. The first game's only difficult early on, it's harder to level up, but once you get a build going, it's really fun and rarely die aside from falling to get an item (I'm looking at that tree of cancer here..). The DLC isn't too bad in the first game either.
Fauxsyn nice break down👍
@@Izthefaithful thanks! Unfortunately I can't throw Sekiro in these lists because it's its own thing. I had to unlearn everything I learned from all the others. This made it tragically difficult at the start but much easier after beating it a few times.
I still stick with the above list though and say that Dark Souls 2 is the most unforgiving.
Fauxsyn LoL agreed!
When are they gonna put Demon's Souls out for the PS4. I mean it's already available on the Japanese PSN store, so why not put it to the PS4?
Lord AZL licensing issues on that game sony may own the ip in japan but they sold licenses to atlus and namco
plus, the multiplayer service will conclude on 28th of february.
PS3 costs about 70$ now, just buy it. 80ish bucks for demon souls experience is worth it IMO, I got around 60 hours of entertainment and played the last souls game I had yet to complete, worth way more than the 80$ it cost me
Can't you just use an emulator instead of buying a new console?

HMMMMMM...
Sekiro makes Dark Souls 3 look like Dark Souls 1
@@jamesbell1186 yeah I guess lol
@@jamesbell1186 sekiro is the easiest in the series. Spam block on everything and you get to instakill them lol you don't have to worry about perfectly placed attacks, healing or any of that just keep mashing and if you die revive before their bar starts going back down then rinse and repeat except for fear characters. Fear characters are shit and ds3 is easy as shit cause it's linear with nothing to prevent you from just running straight to the bosses. Ds3 is like sekiro in a way just roll through everything. The same CANNOT be said about ds1. Rolling ain't gone do shit for you against the 4kings, nito, Manus spamming his combo, and so fourth. Running is also not as good since enemies chase you to hell and back then clump up and block everything off or you run into the narrow ledges like with the knights inn anor londo blocking shit off
Bonfire are everywhere in ds3 every boss you kill they are all very close to each other they are not spaced out and in ds2 in my opinion the bonfire placement is balanced
If warping was restricted to specific bonfires, Dark souls 3 would be more interesting.
