![Can You Beat Code Vein Without Weapon Attacks Or A Partner? (Gifts Only) [1/3]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Y4isWpB0rFw/mqdefault.jpg)
The true boss is the Cathedral of Sacred Blood, I got lost and couldn’t finish it 100% without a guide because I’m blind and stupid
I'm still stuck there lmao
I died to falling about 6 times on that map, thats more times then all my deaths in combat(including bosses)up to where i am now which is hot and toasty theirs fire everywhere.
Ur probably not stupid that level is just bonkers
As someone who likes mazes, Cathedral is actually my favorite level and not terribly difficult to navigate. The teleporting enemies were a pain until you get used to them... oh and that second ambush rush area was some a**hole's method of getting off. Nothing like getting hemmed by 3-4 wide melee spamming enemies at once with NOWHERE to go because forward is even more enemies and back is a ladder they'll teleport to yeet you off the top of....
My first playthrough made me hate Cathedral of Sacred Blood. Everything looks the same so it took me a solid 6 hours to traverse without a guide.
Guys help, I've been stuck at character creation for 5 hours
LOL
feelsbadman, try making perfect cosplays, weeks of customization
That my friends is the strongest boss of them all
It’s the hardest boss to beat.
git gud
The real hardest boss in the game is taking two Boreal Brutes at the same time in the snow depths
Those were the bosses I died the most to... But then I found out that the key to beating then is fire buff and breaking their poise so having a STR build or partnering with Yakumo makes the flight way easier
@@BlkSDX I mean yeah, with a partner, everything is 10x easier. But attempting it by yourself is nearly impossible.
I literally just baited them into dashing into the abyss every time, or just avoided them completely. Those cunts are so fucking hard.
Yep I died to them so many times
Fire buff for sure, but parry will save your ass more. Actually, it's more like this game will punish you for not parrying, which is pretty cool.
Blade Bearer and Cannoneer are 100% made to be fought at least 2 on 2, they even routinely swap their aggro between you and your partner so you can't easily isolate each of them.
You can but it’s difficult and requires you keep one eye glued to the other boss, I beat them by focusing on one then the other and it was so much easier then one at a time once you get into the rhythm
It wouldn’t be so bad if blade bearer didn’t have a barrier ability she can use whenever to make the next hit she takes so 0 damage, that one it’s own makes her so tough
They are only difficult if you fail to isolate their moves. The secret comes essentially forcing their AI to overlap attacks, their AI really REALLY doesn't like this. Usually they will swap to long range attacks that if you then are quick enough its not hard to dodge both ranged moves and start the all to classic booty clapping. As the other panics after a while of clapping one or the others booty leaving the other one open. The only real time this fight gets truely ugly is if you make the all too classic mistake of killing one or the other off too early and you end up with the psychopathic 3rd phase that will royally make your day miserable.
I beat the game on PS4 years ago, all on my ownl. And just now playing it with a friend.
We did them in coop and experienced getting damage out of nowhere when fighting them. It was really weird.
@@dezpotizmOFheaven on PS2?
My top 5 hardest code vein bosses:
1. Two Boreal Brutes from the depths
2. Butterfly of Delirium
3. Boreal Brute
4. Boreal Brute
5. Boreal Brute
Definitely agree about the two boreal brutes. Even in co-op this was insanely hard. Reminded me a bit of the freaking Raven Tengu & Flying Bolt in the side-mission at the Bathhouse in Nioh. Two beefed up basic enemies at once felt more difficult that most boss fights in the game.
Where's Abs. Rad.?
Oh man its so weird hearing trouble with the Butterfly for me. She was easiest for me. Even on ng+ i beat her 1st or 2nd time. Just make sure u watch her poison and listen to sound cues. I havent all the depths still yet.
Playing many many games currently. Nervously moving toward 2nd Dark souls soon. I 100% ds1 after about a year and had a 9 month break lol.
try that on new game mode + enchance difficulty.

@@phazonviking1260 After you beat one the other gets buffed by the other almost exactly like Ornstein and Smough. They recover all of their health and get a whole new moveset. It's actually flat out ridiculous especially in solo play.
Exactly what I was thinking! That boss brought me so much pain!
@@-_-2950 git gud.
@@-_-2950 Dunno, maybe Blade Bearer was hard (haven't fought her buffed version), but cannoneer, even buffed, was a joke. Besides, it all depends on your build and style of play, he ranked Skull King as #2, but for me (Giant sword from Mizo and Berserk/Atlas build) he was a joke, died to him once because of a oneshot and a brainfart, downed on second try, while Gilded Hunter just turned my ass inside-out, the pain!

Btw blade bearer and cannoneer have a separate and more difficult version in the depths and when one dies the other gets harder… a LOT harder.
the full O&S experience.
I thought they were harder the first time I fought them the second time I did it first try in the depths and only healed 2 times.
cannoneer had a 2nd faze when i killed blade bearer on that, thats the only time he killed me because before mido it was blade bearer that kept killing me

Those thorns fucking hurt. But for some reason my second fight with the bastard went so much better than the first, and i wasn’t much better than the first time given i took a long break.
@LORD stallion you can. at any mistle, you can decide who follows you through the companions tab. you can even decide to have nobody come with you, hence going solo.

Mad respect to take the Cannoner and Blade Bearer solo..... without any ressistance buffs.. thats madness for sure !
Imagine even considering that for the absolute hell that is their depths version.
Heard horror stories of people attempting that, and they're all true.
@@KnightOfTheFlames i have no idea what are you talking about - depth version? yea true when i saw them i was like FUCK THIS and left my pc, but after 1 hour i was like ok let's kill them and due to me being a 1h sword build killed BB saw C buffin himself and kill him in 1st try it was easy
@@UMakeBigMistake Most of the bosses in the game have a second version if you can find the appropriate map of the depths - talk to Davis in your home base to see what's available!

How bad are they enhanced?
@@miners8me4lunch well pretty bad like with a partner they switch targets without notice one is a very aggressive sword attacker with ice spells another is a slower fire ball sprewing and aoe attsck fire mage in the depths its even worse cuz they get 2 phases solo its real challenging

I'm at 160 now, I feel the points per kill is too generous, I was realising I'd probably be over levelled come endgame at this rate so I just went and farmed some points, so yeah 160 come end of 1st playthrough.
@M Nope with partner is easy
@@Sasuke544 I feel people are missing the point of this game it's story based so you are supposed to fight with a partner you can fight by yourself if you wish but it doesn't make any sense storywise there's a reason all your partners appear in the cutscenes

Pornstein and Smoulder? Ya mean the boss duo?
Honestly, I found their fight in the depths a lot easier than the first fight with them.
Wolfen
Yeah I noticed that as well, I think the clone bosses are actually weaker. When I fought the water stripper again she didn’t do most of the attacks the OG did
@@ed_Skynight lucky you everyone I fought again was basically the same XD lucky for a lot of them I had figured out tricks to take them down easier but the twins I just wanted to die all over again their even tankier than before and then the depths mechanic for them was a shock since I didn’t have much healing left luckily managed to beat it by being as cautious as a chihuahua
“Next is the successor of the ribcage” “he” “him”
Aurora who is not a dude: am I a joke to you?
Bruh Skull king was insane, definitely the boss with the smallest windows for healing if you don't consider when he is stunned.
True but his attacks where very easily dodged as they always has the same timing
I get him to 20% on my first try, and every try.
yet I always die after he decided to went stellar
@@wolfosgamers9163 I wouldn't say they have the same timing. He shifts the windows between phases (phase 2 (50%) slows the followups by enough that you need to recalibrate your dodge timing
If you heal while directly behind him after he finishes a combo, he will normally jump backwards instead of attacking, giving just enough time to heal. Even worked on the last 10% of his health
I had him on my second try. Got revived 3 times by Io but still I thought: "This was it for the final boss?"

Played all the souls games so I can see a lot of the stuff they have built off from souls but it still keeps it fresh with the flashy moves and anime boobas

@@matthewbraith0411 the base game is really good in my opinion, the dlcs tho are absolute bullshit
@@matthewbraith0411 attention seeking huh
It's not really a good deal lol
My top 10.
10: Successor of the Throat. Leak is such a pain...
9: Argent Wolf Berzerker. Not so much the fight as the journey to the boss room, just complete bs.
8: Skull King. Hits hard but predictable.
7: Queen Reborn or whatever, just a pain in the a** to damage, and the camera just goes nuts if you're locked on, it's the Nameless King in first phase all over again.
6: Pole-dancer. That Slow Debuff is so damn annoying. Was the first boss that gave me real trouble, even with Hermes bloodcode to cure and block the slow.
5: Butterfly of Delirium. Seriously, f**k Poison.
4: Halberd Knight dude. He's combos and second phase are just a sneak peak at what Mido and the Skull King do, but he's faster, and like the Pontiff or Bladedancer from DS3, just doens't stop...
3: Juzo Mido. F**k Inhibit...
2: Boob-stein and Fire-boi. It took me til NG+ to realize I should've actually used the consumables to buff against fire and ice, as well as gifts, made it easier for sure. And I love the depths version with the nice nod to the Ornstein and Smough second phase.
And finally.
1: Super Ice Yeti's. There you are strolling along the snow capped mountainside and there you see one, hunched over looking menacing and hungry, and you think, "so what it's a tougher version of the rest of these Yetis" oh how wrong you are...and then as you approach and the fight begins, you all too quickly realize what a horrible mistake you've made, but it's too late, but wait, it gets worse, in your desperate attempts to fight for your life this monsters Focus Gauge has maxed out, and now he dawns impenitrable armor and proceeds to turn you into confetti...
But then one google search later you learn their ridiculously weak to fire and just swap to an all fire build and roast them...still though, F**K those Yeti's.
Fuck inhibit jesus, i was helping a friend, then BAM, inhibit can't revive ya bro
Huh Actually I do my level 1 bayonett run and I realized that the guilde hunter second fase is a way more easier if you stand near to him. With 1-2 good doge you can avoide 3-5 hit combos. Another way is parrying some of his attacks.
i killed the yetis by dodging and make them fall off the cliffs.....
Lol yes indeed....fuck inhibit.
got stuck at that one even more powerfull yeti guy gaurding a vestige for a while until i saw you could go around the building xD, decided to try it again after beating the game and when his ice armor comes on it still almost impossible to damage him, until he killed himself by jumping off the edge... xD

Is anyone going to tell him about the even tougher version of blade bearer and cannoneer found in the depths where they pull the full ornstein and smough to the point where if one dies the other absorbs the dead’s ones strength giving them new moves and negating their elemental weakness
Oh yeah i was so confident that i could beat them again solo and then cannoneer absorbs the ice power and it messed me up i was down to my last 100 hp and no healing items i got pretty lucky beating it solo. It was the first boss that actually got me to zero healing items and i had like 9 at that point.
Thinking about it gives me PTSD.
Do not speak of that fucking nightmare please I found they were easy in the spire because I had a partner but idk what changed in the depths cause that was a pure hell. I'm not looking forward to doing it again on NG+ cause I turned up the difficulty.
Atrosoni no worries I tried it with Ng+ and it took me longer to win that than every other boss combined as unless u buff yourself with the fire and ice resist you get one shot even at level 220
@@dylansim1869 I'm going to cry
Even with the A.I, the Ice and Fire duo was hard. So I needed to get outside help.
I think the other different bosses differ depending on weapon, bloodcode, and bloodveil. Some bosses you found hard, I found easy and vise versa like the Successor of the Throat. I would have ranked her higher based on my own build. But that is just me.
You right the bloodcode influence yours stats , the weapon depending on your gaming style, and the bloodveil is literally the armor so yes
yeah that guy with the big red sword killed him on first attempt yet i was level 108 hahaha with a level 9 sword but don't get me started on how hard the fire guy and ice blade girl was like if it was two phases of one at a time would of been easy but just cause that guy with the fire range attacks he always got me from surprize and if i try take the fat fire guy out the ice blade girl teleports with a dash attack it never ended i did beat and u fight the guy with red sword after he was so much easier yet why maybe cause the duo was so hard even with yakumo and me being 106 doing 1800 per hit they have way to much health but that was my practicee playthrough i have to vs them again when i video it hahaha
my first time I had a lot of trouble with them, 2nd time, I managed first try, to my own surprise.
@@zeehero7280 Same. On playthroughs after my first, I have managed them just fine.
You see the A.I in these game are targeting the main player more often rather than companion (not tested with other player yet). So if you pick BB as first target then C feels like guardian father watching his kids from far away and almost giving a constant support while his ass got yanked pretty much too often (could be lack of aggro). And while the other case i wanna see Io epic clash with her other attendant sister but only end up a disappointment, the sister almost not giving a f with Io attacks and easly give up the fight and chase me instead. So yeah its end up as Tom & Jerry chase while me as Jerry hardly having reason to clap her or get clap, she as tom and Io as the dog running around the rock smh.
In my fights with BBC, suprisingly the the BB are not too often meddling other fights not as often the C so im always targeting the C first while BB fight my companion and make sure those two are in my pov to ensure they won't launching sneaky long range attack. Also changing weapon and blood veil between the fights also reccomended since their attack could be nulled with right equipment + buffs.
“Gilded Hunter 2nd phase is like Yamcha turning super saiyan god”
Accurate
not accurate because he said Yamcha not Yamaha lol
Gilded Hunter is Ornstein on all sorts of crack. Change my mind
I beat gilded hunter 1st try tho...... he is kinda easy since all of his attack can be guarded, and with a fortified GS you can guard tank all his attack like its noting
I mean dont use a fortified GS then fight the mad lad.
@@valenten89 i was using a normal GS on my 1st playthrough and he still as easy to guard tank, all hail the trusty zweihander
The duo has a harder version in the final map void district that is just straight up the hardest boss I've ever fought
yeah well that was much easier for me than the actual duo. i dumped ice queen on my companion and focused down the flame guy. the flame guy is much easier to dodge so i chose him. while ice queen got flame powers after i took him down it didn't matter much. it was roughly the same attacks as flame guy with a little of her own ice attacks. after taking a few of those to the face it was easy to dodge it.
for me the hardest boss was the pole dancer. those damn slide attacks come out of bloody nowhere and always Fed me up. i switched to a caster build after reading some recommendations but that made it even easier to die.... while i eventually was able to kill her, the minimap for that area was almost completely white due to all my deaths.
@@fabiandonvil I am literally the same! The ice pole dancer gave me so much trouble and frustration, until I finally got her movements, moveset and timing down.
Also the duo bosses in the void depths were a huge surprise. i didn't anticipate that defeating one of the two bosses meant the other would restore their health fully, while also gaining the defeated boss' powers. In the original fight i took down the ice queen first, as it was easier to deal with her first. but in the depths version i had to kill the cannoneer first instead, because his moveset was insanely more troublesome with the ice and fire combo.
I love both so much especially the void version they were so clearly a nod/reference to Ornstein and Smough it made me smile
@@Mygrandpaspodcast And sister Fried and her father, that fight looks a lot like this one, even the fire and ice magic is the same.
13th Gaming Clan defo Ornstein and smough IMO fat boi and extremely fast Pierce character then in the void version which ever one you kill literally takes on the others power just the same as ds1 it was very clearly a reference to that fight specifically

i didnt know Hatsune Miku is a boss in Code:Vein
FloydFosuK Pole-dancing Hatsune Miku
She was the only boss that killed me so far
She was the hardest boss for me so far (only at the cathedral right now)
I spent 3 hours fighting her 🥺
Killed her by going balls to the wall with damage buffs
She was a bitch. That fucking dashing around like Genji with no cool downs every time I went to heal or as soon as that shield hero fucker died on me. I hate that boss with a passion.
@@Bonbon-og7cw when you thought that pole dancer Miku was the second boss
Blade Bearer and Cannoneer are no doubt the hardest souls-like boss I’ve ever faced, even after Elden Ring. During my experiences in this game, no other boss gave me so much pain other than the duo but despite the 30+ hours trying to pull out and managing a single flawless victory, I couldn’t help but appreciate how they compliment each other in a sense that they are probably the reverse of each other (One is a really fast melee-focused attacker and the other is a slow range-focused support). This is also the only boss that made me cry out happy tears after I finally managed to overcome the insanity.
But wait…there’s the depths version. Fighting the depths version made me realize how useful the pillars were on blocking most Cannoneer’s attacks since only two of them bypass walls (the eruption and the flame rain). And also the fact that if one of them dies, the other gets a buff OnS style. I’m still trying to get a Lvl 1 flawless victory on that one up until this day and every one of those attempts is the embodiment of having to face some of my worst nightmares. Even if I really had a hard time against Malenia, a boss that forces the player to beat her flawlessly, I actually died to Crypt Spire Blade Bearer and Cannoneer around 10 hours longer than when I died to Malenia and I wouldn’t want to imagine how much of an extra time I have to spent on their depths version, the absolute terror that I’ve heard people speaking horror stories about and that they are actually a reality.
Also the problem with blade bearer and cannoneer is that since Code Vein isnt really difficult for a souls like, having a boss like that is kinda hard. Also most of the boss killer builds are useless. Also just target one of them is risky since the other one can attack you (if you use companion) .
For the dephts version the hardest things are that you can't hide and attacking both of them is now useless, bc one will regenerate.
Gilded hunter can also be hard because the way how you play before isnt the same as how you have to play against it (like rolling toward him)
I really love Code Vein, I never did the dlc but if i'm not wrong the bosses are also ones of the hardest of the game

They're literally judgement thorns. Small versions of the big ones that make up 40% of the entire environment throughout the game

@@CovenOfKhaos Also didn’t mention leak on Queens Knight Reborn or Successor of the Throat. Also Invading Executioner doesn’t do Ice damage she just applies slow.

Thats good. Are you sure you're not the leader of the phantom thieves with that joke?
That’s a new one. So far everyone else had said that she looks like Miku.
ridge of frozen souls, the rollie boi.. killed me more than any boss.
Rollie boi? Ah, you mean the tanky yetis. Buffing your weapon with flame should cancel the ice shield they cast.
In all seriousness, next to bosses the likes of Blade Bearer and Cannoneer, the next likely killer in Code Vein has to be the environment. I love this game, probably give it an 8.5/10, but MY GOD the devs must really have had a hard-on for making the non-boss areas frustrating to compensate for the availability of AI companions.
Cathedral? Some broken railings and a convoluted floor plan. It's frustrating the longer you spend lost within it.
Howling Pit? Slowed movement and dodging, which can be fatal that early in the game.
City of Falling Flame? You like spamming dodge? You like quick dashing? Too bad, enjoy the flames and maybe a side of enemy damage.
Crown of Sand? Your high damage gifts and alleviating buffs mean jack if you can't even use them. Sorry, mage builds.
Half the areas in the game have some annoying gimmick to them. Again, I love this game nearly as much as Dark Souls but I feel the environmental hazards were a smidge excessive.
@@zen_7748 Counterpoint to that; outside of the City of Flame, every area's environmental hazard has a gimmick to it.
The Cathedral is hard to traverse, but verticality is key, forcing you to look up and down to find your path forward.
The Howling pit slows you down, but almost every enemy has their back turned to you, allowing you to get Cheeky backstabs in without much difficulty or failing that cut down half their HP before the fight even begins.
Crown of Sand has several areas to stand on where you WONT lose Ichor, at least one every fight. The key is proper spacing there, with some added "skill base" forcing you to use your base weapon if you haven't before.
Fire buff on your weapon eats him up, I learned this in the depths
@@zen_7748 Now that u mention the effects of all those levels it reminds me of Megaman X6 nightmare system. Although i think X6's effects are a little deadlier. And no their not 100% similar games but that's just what it reminds me of .
@xerohwun Bruh i called them "Zed lookin mfkers" cuz they do look like zed from league of legends. I just baited them to roll off the map rofl.
The Blade Bearer and Cannoneer were annoying even with a partner because the other boss will something randomly decide to de-aggro from your partner and start attacking you (usually off-screen or behind. It's real annoying to dodge an ice attack only to be hit with a fireball from behind that you weren't even expecting to have to worry about dodging.
Mido and Skull King were my two favourites plus the motivation of "I WANT that sword." helped a lot when it came to beating them.
“Our Wolf boss is too much of a knock off”
“Give him four more legs”

The moment you realize he was taking on bosses WITHOUT Queenslayer code. It has a code restricted gift that give you INSANE damage increase, dodge buff, AND a full heal. Only down side is in several minutes you will die if you don't win. But with some of the post Queen's Knight if you don't win in 5 minutes you probably die anyways.
Just for corrections, Queenslayer
@@mystic0146 Thanks, fixed it
Good to know how long that ability lasts, I was adverse to using it since I didn't know how long I'd get. Unless it literally tells you with a meter or something
@@originalname5096 actually it is three but you can extend it to 4 and a half
@@originalname5096 The ability was nerfed. It now lasts for 1 minute, making it damn near worthless unless the boss has less than 15% health remaining.
Blade Bearer and Cannoneer are literally so much harder than everything else that it felt like I accidentally set a hidden difficulty setting to maximum. They were so unbelievably infuriating that I dropped the game for a full fucking year and forgot about it until I happened to notice it in my library.
Its obviously harder to fight solo but even with a partner its nothing short of pure controller smashing bullshit. The bosses change targets seemingly at random, sometimes literally mid combo. Cannoneer can be on the opposite end of the map with your partner just fuckin laying into him with every skill they have and he will just ignore it and target you with his infinite range attacks that spawn directly beneath you, that usually explode right as you're coming out of a roll dodge away from Blade Bearer. Mid combo against Cannoneer? Bearer will put sonic to shame and sprint across the arena so fucking fast that you've respawned at the mistle before you even realized that she just wombo combo'd you. Not to mention both of them hit like overloaded trucks if the trucks were packed with military grade explosives, set on fire, and then pushed down a very tall hill with you directly in its path. EVERY hit takes at least 2 or 3 heals to recover from, if you even get the time to heal, and if you dare slink back far enough to try the two of them will wipe out your partner in the span of two god damn nanoseconds leaving you completely helpless to even bother putting up a fight.
After fighting this boss I was left in utter disbelief that somehow Cuphead and Sekiro were engulfed in pathetic controversies from journalists too stupid to learn how to play the game, but this actually near impossible battle that Hercules himself would have to beat as one of his 12 labors if he existed today, did not.
Nioh 1 and 2, The Surge 1 and 2, Dark Souls trilogy, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Lords of the fallen, none of these games have produced a boss that in my opinion rivals the challenge Cannoneer and Blade Bearer pose. In terms of action rpg's, maybe even across all genres, it might be THE hardest boss I've ever faced.
I keep seeing everyone say that. I literally one shot both of them on my first try, I WISH I had recorded it. Considering everyone's reviews on them, I'd say I got lucky.
For the record I went for the Blade Bearer first and had Yakumo go after the Cannoneer.
I did them first try on my first playthrough, didn't understand why people considered them hard. Did a new playthrough recently, and I don't know how the hell that is the same boss, took me about 40 tries to do. That first attempt was 100% just luck.
Late reply, but Cannoneer's 'explode the floor below you' attack targets both you and your partner, so he will always apply a little pressure regardless of who is fighting him. I found that trying to take him out yourself and then ganking the Blade Bearer worked a little better, but getting the AI (both partner and enemy) to work with you is hell. I usually had to run around trying to make BB target my partner again several times because she will randomly aggro you.
And then you get to Void District.
Still my favorite fight.
Queen's Knight and his Reborn vresion got me probably the most memorable gameplay moment in the entire game. When I first faced him in memory level, I managed to wittle him down to approx. 25-35% of his hp, when he finished off Jack. I was *still* somehow getting hang of the game, and this was the moment I knew I had to go perfectly, as I didn't had any healing left. I did it.
And when I found his Reborn version in the outskirts, I knew shit is about to get real. And once again, I wittled him down to 25-35%, and then he slashes off my partner. That was just extremely fitting considering the story, and the fact that I once again managed to finish him off was extremely uplifting.
I had a similar experience with the Reborn fight. Dude axed Eva off almost immediately after entering phase 2, and I tried to resurrect her but was a second too late on getting the teal off, so I thought the run was dead. But, something clicked and I ended up playing super well till he was down to like 5-10%. I had that passive that gives you a poison buff when you’re focused on, and managed to poison him right before he caught me in a combo and melted me. Just as my character fell, while I was still in that window where a partner can revive you, the poison killed him and I got revived by the post-boss heal. Hilarious, clutch way to end such an intense fight
Her* queens knight is the same type of being as io, just frenzied
@@aname8174 Thanks for correction 5 years later lol, I honestly forgot about this game
Honestly, pole dancing syrin was the firat boss that actually sped up and essentially said; your tutorial fights are over, time to die.
I honestly think she was harder than most other bosses in the game (by difficulty on a new playthrough for a new player. Her mobility and damage against a squishy, quick mobility, no cast speed dark mage made her daah a near oneshot.
For a melee i do have to say she is a bit easier
Delirium is actually the first for that. The jump from Oliver to her is ridiculous..
Eh, I found the pole dancer easy, same with insatiable Despot, but my goodness did the Butterfly of Delirium slap my booty hard, took me like 10 tries to get her down, hated the Argent Wolf Berserker as well, because those other bitches along the way always give me a hard time.
order affected it, you either fought her or butterfly first, and wing to a restart i fought them in different order, generally the first one you fight will whoop you, and the second will be easier, though setting the passive resists for poison and slow are required from coco's code.
@@ryanweible9090 i guess not? I fight the butterfly first, which is left me with a portion of HP but survive on the first try. Then go thru the next boss on the dried trenches places. Fight the boss around 3-4 try and then that frkin boss on howling pit. I didnt know how much i tried but it sure does a lot.
For me the hardest bosses were as follows (from the perspective of a person who always played with A.I. and friends at the same time.)
Butterfly of Delerium: Mainly because poison and limited healing. When I found out about the gift that stops poison, it became easier, and the dodges were easy enough after realizing how her attacks worked. My friend still has trouble with her.
Blade Bearer and Canoneer: Or as I prefer to call them, Whornstein and Hough. took me at least 15 tries with everyone before I took the Souls approach and walked away for a while. Funnily enough, I managed to beat them much easier without my friend. Dodging BB was easy enough after a while, but C's flame trap kept killing me by me being too greedy. Probably would have been easier if I remembered the ice and fire resistance stuff. Oh well.
Juzo Mido: This Fucker. I ended up fighting him on my own with the A.I. companion. Up until this point I had been using the Zweihander block as my means of escaping damage. Worked pretty well too, up until this point, where it blocked off access to my ichor, followed by a swift and savage death to my companion, followed by a swift death to me. Had to change my entire build for this fight alone. Lucky for me, The Skull king seemed exactly like this boss only without the ability to remove my moveset, so he was a piece of cake.
For the argent wolf berserker, the first time I got to him I just kept on back stabbing him every time he got up and won it without getting hit. I was really confused if he was a real boss
Real bosses dont allow backstabs. He is a mini boss.
Difference - He is a mini-boss, otherwise, bosses don't allow backstabs.
That’s how I beat him too, it was just chain backstabs non stop
Yeah that entry confused me because he’s not a boss
Valenten he also becomes a regular enemy later in the game
One year later and I've just realized he called him Judo Mizo and not Juzo Mido
Damn u I didn’t want anything spoiled but I couldn’t help it lol

@@theDeModcracy you missed a boss btw, the buffed up version of Blade Barer and Cannoneer, the've got a whole different boss fight in the Depth's last map as they have an O&S buffed up phase 2
The fact that you beat this game solo is impressive. Kudos to you sir! I struggled with Cannoneer and Blade Bearer even with a partner.

I called them Zeds from league of legends. Rofl and i would just bait them to roll off the map rofl.
@@Bumra Queenslayer toys with bosses.
Those 2 are a pain to fight but if you use a fire weapon or buff your weapon with fire dmg it makes the fight much much easier.
I'm still gonna rank that freaking butterfly much higher, stupid thing had me drowning in poison for literally way too long.
For anyone who ask where's Ice Ornstein & Fire Smough second phase
just... wait.. you'll see
Yeah fuck that fight, tho it didn't took that many tries(i did it just before i did the final fight) there were at least a couple of fails.
Whats sad is my build hit peak potential after beating virgin born, so i found out that when i was finishing my depths achievement too late.
My build hits 20k in a single hit and i melted BB in the depths fight and it just made me wish it was part of the main fight in the story.
missed opportunity i guess.
On it now, kill me please
fuck that depths location, literally only won because Io's the most busted partner ever and kept giving me over half my hp back while i was level 150
the real hardest boss is the feelings and how they are broken throughout this game
The hardest boss is the character creation, beside I’m more into masochism aspect of the game than the story

Huge respect! This video is a deserved tribute to one of the best and most underrated souls--like game outhere.
I was probably dying more because I healed Louis *right after* he healed me.
The last few bosses are especially punishing, because the companion AI doesn't do a good enough job of avoiding attacks, and attacks fucking HURT. So meanwhile, I'm healing Louis because he got clipped and is at 5% HP, then I get insta-gibbed about 5 seconds later because now I'm low, and then he heals me back but he DIES because he's so squishy after reviving me... Very tough to work around the companion healing later on.

@@slothz5063 this fight forces you to use ice and fire protection that's what is so scummy about it
I thought it was easy, what I did was I had a co OP person with me we did the boss on mine, then on his with no problem then the void since we already fight them twice it was easy to figure out what they would do. Recommend to anyone struggling try it with a friend twice :)
The real #1 boss - two Boreal Brutes in the Depths (the rolling yetis with a skill to gain an ice shield)
Backstabs usually prevent them from doing that, plus if you have an online companion he can do the same thing to the other one.
Also fire breaks their shields
Poison works well for them
I had the Invading Executioner as my 2nd EVER souls-like boss. took me like 6 months for me to finish her off after doubling back and defeating 2 bosses that were far easier by comparison (those being the butterfly of delirium and the insatiable despot)
I got lucky beating her with a venom build, even then just barely, one more hit and I would have been dead (my companion already died). Not looking forward to fighting her again

Hardest boss in the game: Character creation
The depths version of blade bearer and cannoneer is even more insane to solo, you have no pillars to hide behind to block some of cannoneer’s fireballs, it’s an open field and if you kill blade bearer first, cannoneer gets buffed and is now able to use ice attacks. I managed to solo it twice, not doing it ever again and I don’t even wanna know what happens if I kill the cannoneer first.
Pretty much the same thing. Blade gets buffed and starts doing fire attacks. It's basically a proper variant of Ornstein and Smough.
I guess this list was biased towards Melee builds.
As a mage build though, friggin Juzo Mido and the Virgin born was a nightmare!
hazeination Considering I had an Dex/hit with the knife part Bayonet build, The Virgin Born was harder to me then Juzo Mido.
@@destruidordossonhos7718 I hear you, the Virgin born was a bastard lol
Destruidor Dos Sonhos if you are a strength build every boss is easy with no ai
Yeah, this game encourages different builds, can't always stick to one
Why would you do that?
Executioner took me like 50 times, even with a partner. The struggle was real. Glad to see she was higher on the list
The bosses rankings change drasticly depending on your build, super fast bosses are easy with tank builds while a total hard mode with glass cannons. Queen's knight is a good example.
And then Blackblood liberator with Queens Ribcage makes Gilded Hunter even easier
Things even out in ng8 lvl1 or something likes that
The hardest boss is throat no matter what the build
Queen’s knight and Gilded Hunter back to back was so damn painful. Though Queen’s knight Reborn was completely destroyed since i knew his moves so well lol
Maybe it was because at the end of the game something in me finally clicked, but the Skull King was pretty easy to fight for me. But I have to give you props for having the balls to fight Blade Bearer and Canoneer alone. I'm fairly new to souls like titles so I didn't even try that solo. I had partner with me, but even then the bosses are made to swap their aggro at certain intervals so if you get too comfortable fighting one, the other will jump in to fuck your day up faster than you can blink.
Successor of the breath took me two tries and invading executioner took me I swear over 50 i was stuck on her for two months
Executioner is both the hardest boss I have faced and at the same time the easiest. To put it simply I fought here almost one hundred times with a friend. Then we found out that if two idiots run right up to her legs with hammers she can’t do shit.
He's soloing the bosses. With the AI partner, Successor of breath is much easier. The game is also designed around a 2-3 member party, so bosses have 2-3 times the health that would be reasonable for solo play.
@@echoecho7829 As the old adage goes: If all else fails, smack it with a hammer!
For some reason I had literally no trouble with the Successor of the Breath, Jozo Mido, and Gilded Hunter. I dunno why but I had very little problem with them.
i had a very easy time w poison butterfly girl i didn’t even need poison buff\debuff
@@Zol_Xui I noticed some of this too, I had significantly more trouble playing the console version initially. However when I got it for PC and sped to where I was on console, the bosses just bent over for me, even water-Miku only took the one try and never dashed at me. I don't quite get it.
@gaming channel I'll take it, console was an utter chore. Also, costume mods on PC.
Gilded hunter I think got nerfed or something because the first time I fought him, I strugged to hell and back but on my recent playthrough on a new save, he went down so easy, his buffed phase lasts like only half as long now.
Code Vein being my first Souls like game I’ve ever finished, I truly enjoyed the bosses that the game had to offer. Yeah, I pretty much did all of them with an AI companion and my friend did help me out by joining in my sessions, but I still had a tough time with these bosses. What a series! Haven’t had a challenge like this in such a long time!

I find Sekiro easier than this
Felipe Alcântara Sekiro is way easier than this. So much easier.

tro lol Absolutely. In Code Vein, you cant nullify 99% of all enemy attacks with one button.

The fact you even attempted, let alone beat O&S, I mean Cannoneer and Blade bearer by yourself... my hat is off to you. That fight was hard enough with an AI partner.
On that note, try that fight by yourself in the depths where they are even harder. Good luck.

when playing with a partner, the Blade Bearer and Cannoner were the second hardest. The Gilded Hunter literally made me cry, your partner is practically useless except as bait, but even as bait they die in like 2 seconds from the combos. A big reason he might've been so hard when i played the game with a partner is probably because while playing the game with partners, I put a big reliance on my partner, so when the partner dies in 2 seconds, I'm trying to kill a boss solo when i never had before.
IDK how your experience with partners was, but I played with Louis all the way, and I got say, that dude was crazy. The AI dodged almost everything. Of course, he did get hit sometimes, and I had to save him, but he revived me way more than I had to revive him. Louis was def the MVP on my first playthrough

Quick tip for the Argent Wolf Berserker, you can get behind him and then Backstab, which gives you a window of time to either heal or deal damage.
Great advice! There's just 1 problem: the backstab hit boxes in the game is so fucking jank and unclear that trying to go for it gets me destroyed. Sometimes the hit box is actually the back and sometimes it's his thigh or ankle. My God I hate backstabs in this game
When you realize you can stun-lock Argent Wolf with well-timed backstabs and forgo the entirety of his boss fight.

Or you could just run to a wall.
i can't for sure say it's the intended way to dodge the ability, i just stumbled upon the solution when i ran to an edge of the map to get a full view of the attack in hopes of finding a gap xD
But it does seem like if you are hugging a wall like its your partner, 9/10 times the hitboxes of the explosions won't reach you =)
" at the right moment to the ass you get a good window to plow"

BB and Cannoneer were my favorite bosses in the game despite their extreme difficulty so I absolutely understand why they're at the top. Their track is also one of my favorites from the entire game.
SPOILERS!:
In the Depths: Zero District; a depths map you unlock in the Provisional Government Center, you run into the Blade Bearer and Cannoneer fight again, but this time they go full reference and whoever you kill first gives their power to the surviving member, it's a very awesome moment that gives a nod to one of the best fights in any soulsbourne and probably my favorite moment so far in the game.
Sounds like a nightmare -_- Well hopefully not another boss fight I'm stuck on for hours =P
Codey Vehmeier it was a great boss though
Yeah, that boss fight was annoying. Luckily I only had to try that one 4 times. In the original fight, the goal was to take out the melee first, but I found in the depth version, taking out the caster first was much better.
@@joeericestrada3175 I was running a min maxed bayonet ranged build so the blade bearer was always the one giving me trouble, once she was dead the rest of the fight was a cake walk.
@@misakisatou2499 I ran a speedy one handed build. She wasn't the problem for me. It was her on top of having to dodge all the shiit the caster was throwing at me.
As hard as he was for me to fight, the Skull King was absolutely my favourite boss in the game.
The skull king is easy tho the only part when hes hard is that last phase where all of his dmg can get you
Main strat for gilded hunter in my experience was actually keeping close during the powerup state. It felt like running back was the worst thing to do, and once I stayed close on him I could handle the attacks quite easily. Maybe this’ll help someone having trouble on him, just keep a cool head and ration out that stamina well, and as mod said when he gets out of the powerup dps the living hell out of him
Yes, this is definitely the right strat for him. I noticed in the recording of this fight in this video he was back dashing a lot. His up close attacks timing is really easy to get used to and is almost always 2-3 attacks. Minus the explosion.
In general, I feel like there isn't much reason to back far away from most bosses outside of getting away AoE.
I like how he put music matching the most similar Souls boss fights for each boss.
The Ice and Fire duo remind me of Friede and her Father honestly in some aspects
The rib cage boss is a woman.
Just saying.
@Soda Ramen that doesn't make sense. Given he just showed EVERY boss.
There's no spoiling the story; the Ribcage is very clearly a female by the design. Everything he said spoils the boss names and their fights themselves. He shows a little bit of things, like with Judo, that are very small spoilers, but the lack of the rest of the context and speech make them negligible. I say this as one who is short of beating the final boss and is very much against spoilers.
Also, I'm here now to see how tough he thinks all the bosses are and he actually is giving good logic behind everything.
o ye big brain time
@@StellaBorneWatches honestly Invading executioner needs to be a little lower, you can cheese her dash by rolling foward and it'll barely hit, along with that, if you've got a high damage weapon like a GS/hammer or a +3 sword or halberd at around level 40, she can be combo stunlocked into up to three staggers if you get real lucky.
good ol' gank sqaud boss is where they belong while mido should be one lower, Dark Knight is still harder.
and the Cat successor (forgot name and not checking) should be WAY lower, she's prone to heavy weapons and staggers all the time
Should be obvious from her giant gape
Months later and I finally finished the game so here's my general opinions on all the bosses after traversing through this post-apocalyptic scape with the Halberd-Wielding She-Demon Io by my side. Long comment incoming! (Seriously though Io is best girl, fight me.)
--
Oliver Collins: I feel like even if Louis hadn't been a mandatory partner for the level that fighting Oliver would still be really easy. I consider him basically to be the game's equivalent of the Asylum Demon.
Butterfly of Delirium: Oh good grievance, fuck this Cronenberg-esque bug hybrid and her poison. This was the first time I genuinely struggled and I had to change my strategy to wielding a Bayonet while Yakumo tanked the hits. On repeat playthroughs though it's just more of a speedbump.
Invading Executioner: Hatsune Miku sure let herself go and it shows. That slow-debuff has given me nightmares and fighting her again in the Depths nearly broke my spirit... and then I found out that she was weak to the Stun debuff and I basically got her to 30% HP before phase 2 started.
Insatiable Despot: Honestly I forgot this guy existed. The entire area that is the Trenches was way harder than the Despot, which is a shame because the boss itself has an interesting design. I'm just used to fighting big-ass bosses I guess.
Argent Wolf Berserker: All bark, mostly no bite. And then he hit me with the hammer and I started reconsidering my decisions to taunt him. Also bringing Mia to this fight made it helluva lot easier than it should have due to her Bayonet.
Queen's Knight: I honestly would've had less issues with the Knight if it wasn't for the forced co-op with Jack, who has the tendency of being ridiculously aggressive while also not having the best defenses. (Seriously, Heimdall is not meant for tanking Jack.) So yeah, I had way more troubles with this guy not because it was a hard fight, but because he hits like a truck and Jack Rutherford has confusing AI.
Successor of the Ribcage: I destroyed her maybe a little bit faster than I should've simply because of my experiences as a Bloodborne veteran. Her teleporting was a pain though, bah.
Successor of the Breath: Again, might be because I had AI partners with me throughout the game, but I had less troubles with this one than expected. The goddamm rocket jump is a pain in the ass though.
Gilded Hunter: I got so angry fighting this guy that I just equipped a Zweihander when he was buffed and blocked all of the hits. Yep. That was how annoyed I was.
Successor of the Claw: Around this part of the game I wound up having my build be almost finished and I noticed that I did a helluva amount of damage as a result. She did put up a bit of a fight and I almost died a few times, but thanks to the old-fashioned booty smacking and the Cleansing Light buff (restores 70% of your HP if you get damaged) I didn't really have both feet in my grave.
Successor of the Throat: Oh jeez, this one gave me way more trouble than the other Successors combined due to one thing - THAT GODDAMN LEAK DEBUFF. I swear, in the end I panic-slapped her to death because I didn't have much else.
Blade Bearer and Cannoneer: I was very surprised that I defeated them on my first attempt? It was a super cool fight and Bladelady almost destroyed me, but she went down a lot faster than I thought due to me using a Fire weapon. Meanwhile Pyrough was just... there. (And then the Depths rematch kicked my ass.)
Juzo Mido: I hate this old man, I really do. Inhibit is the most annoying debuff and because I used the Queenslayer bloodcode I was dead in two to three hits, and so was Io. I legitimately had my hands shaking after I finally killed him.
Queen's Knight Reborn: This teleporting bastard nearly had me at the edge of insanity. Not only does he hit like a freight train but the teleporting and the Leak-inducing aura just made him even harder. The second I defeated him I just went "Thank god, it's over" and he's the only boss that made me feel that way.
Attendant of the Relics: I'd say she's more of a Maiden Astraea that can actually fight than a True King Allant expy, but eh. I did underestimate her damage at some point, but yeah she's probably one of the easiest bosses alongside Oliver. Quite the breather though.
Skull King: Never underestimate old men in Soulslikes, seriously! I legit got Gehrman flashbacks on multiple occasions with how I easily got wombo-comboed into the abyss.
The Virgin Born: I actually wound up dodging the lightning barrage simply by getting behind him. It wound up making the fight way easier and almost reminiscent of the Moon Presence in a way.
My hardest fight IMO was definitely Guilded Hunter. There would be times where I whittled the bastard down to 10% HP only for him to go Super Saiyan again and melt both me and my partner. Then the immediate attempt after would see me completely throw it out before I even got him below 60%. Blade and Cannon took me maybe 7 tries. Gilded guy on the other hand. I remember spending a day on this guy and still failing miserably
Um, Jack is an aggressive fighter and his blood code does fit his fighting style. Hell, his Communal Gift plus Final Journey, the boss fights would be over quickly. Don't underrestimate Jack, he is a good guy.
@@MrsCutieeCake Oh now I definitely can agree to that (I've even used Jack as an AI partner in later Depths maps and he's been really good), but during the whole flashback level it was VERY common for me to have him suddenly just run off and get surrounded a bit too quickly. I also didn't have either Final Journey (and the blood code it belongs to) or his communal ability since you don't get that until after you've defeated the Successor of the Throat.
Maybe I just gotta give him another proper chance, wouldn't be against it.
I beat C BB on my first attempt too. I was a cosmetics person so my blood veil and weapon are suitable for dealing with BB. I just baited BB to the ends of corridor (fat C doesn't move) and beat her normally. Run out of healing and was left at 84 HP out of my 3.2k HP cuz I kept getting baited by C fire splash not on purpose. Skull King and Gilded was pretty hard I hardly feel anything getting clobbered by both. Skull King almost broke me with near clutch moments I wanted to cry.
You know, if I heard correctly, they nerfed Cannoneer and Blade Bearer. It used to literally be like Ornstein and Smough where if you killed one, the other would get buffed back to full hp with new attacks and both elements. Go to the Void Depths. One of them has it
