*I just had a nightmare with this brand new enemy called Hell Rebounder.Basically, he would leave potions, delicious food, and swords or potions specifically on a ground.When you touch those cursed 🤬 and deceptive items you summon a small Hell Rebounder.He has the power to multiply by 5 within seconds and continue multiplying by 5 until all those Hell Rebounders throw rocks and/or poison daggers to kill you.The best way to deal with such enemy is to Cast a Fire 🔥 Ball Spell right onto the items that Summon Hell Rebounder or to throw bombs on items that are on a ground that summon Hell Rebounder.Hell Rebounder looks like a Small Zombie Clown 🤡 or a Small Zombie Joker dressed in Mideval Clothing.*
😂😂
Honestly as I said Shadows die twice I did 100% that took me a year and change and I'm trying to do bloodborne my girlfriend ordered me a physical copy so yeah I'm going to be breaking controllers probably😂
The first one you played is the most difficult.
No
Not for me
No. Sekiro forced you to learn how to parry. Other games did not force a mechanic on you at all. Hell, you could roll around in most and be fine.
Sekiro was the 4th one I played and I definitely struggled way more on that game than any of the others
Nah I played ds 1 and 2 but blood borne and sekiro were much harder
"If you have beaten Sekiro that means you earned it" real talk
Obviously.. Sekiro is way way harder.. And some people still don't accept the fact.. 😂😂 Sekiro literally tells you to Get Good or Get f*d... There's no way around unlike other souls game where you can be overleveled af.. And you can SUMMON NPC ( I completed ds 1-3 recently).. Summoning NPC, Felt like a cheat for me 😂😂😂.
Platinumed it ❤
Got all the achievements for it on steam most satisfying feeling when you’re on the fourth play through for the fourth ending and you get two or more achievements at the same time
That statement is true of Senior and none of the other games if for no other reason that there’s no multiplayer. Co-op makes soulsborne games easy mode.
@@NikhilGupta-lf4yu I'm about to platinum it as well, all I got left is the return ending achievement :)
Sekiro was the steepest learning curve, but once you git gud you get really good and it’s such a joy to play.
It's by far the easiest when it clicks and the hardest if it doesn't.
@@BenedictVoall the games are easy
Fr that’s why it can’t be the hardest. Because it’s hard to learn but easy to master. Once you get it you get it. Other games are harder because there’s more variables depending on builds and the games can still cheese you unlike sekiro
Sekiro's always a joy to play. Even when you're mashing deflect because you don't have the rhythm down yet, the process of trading blows is so cathartic
@@acey8274there's always that one guy.. which games do you find difficult?
I have played every Souls Game, even the original Demon's Souls on the Ps3, but never have I ever struggled that much on a game like on Sekiro. It was so satisfying to master the mechanics.
Idk why but i found it easy as hell i only struggled against father owl, maybe its because it was my first souls game
LoL I had a similar experience, took me like 30 tries to beat owl father and then went off to beat Demon second try and Ishin first try. I also think that if you skip optional bosses the game becomes massively more difficult.
I have played it and I CANNOT get to grips with the combat. I’ve beaten every fromsoft soulsborne game. Except sekiro. It’s like my brain just can’t. Can’t parry
@@UniverseGlider2 thats the problem ive played it with no prior experience of souls games so i learnt the main mechanic of deflection very easily, you got used to dodging instead of deflecting
@@Shadow-kz9fb That’s what I’m saying my guy. Having a hard time retraining my brain. I wanna roll so bad
Spot on with the list. Sekiro definitely has the steepest learning curve of any game I have ever played. I was stuck on Genichiro for a week. Some 50+ deaths. lol. But once you get past him the rest of the game becomes easier. With each subsequent boss you suffer less and less deaths to learn them. Both father fights and both Isshin fights are super fun.
I haven't played Sekiro, but the combat mechanics remind me almost exactly of the Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor games. I'm sure that's where the Jedi games got their idea for the guard meter and all the fights essentially being about learning an enemy's timing and slowly breaking down their guard until there is an opening. The difficulty is lower than a Souls-game, but the mechanics remind me so much of Sekiro from what I've seen and heard.
Am I the only one who feels like Sekiro is easier than souls games? I'm still trash at all of them but Sekiro just clicked for me, whereas souls games I'm running around like a headless chicken.
@@Shane-sf9pv being objective, sekiro has more going on and faster than the souls games including having to use a different input for different perilous attacks, there's also no op weapon in sekiro to carry you through.
@@Shane-sf9pvbro ishhin and the demon of hatred have been kicking my ass for a week now
@@logicaldude3611 I started Jedi Fallen Order a day ago and yes, that's definitely where it took it's inspiration from. But Sekiro feels much more crisp and precise in my opinion. Jedi Fallen Order feels somewhat clunky to me compared to Sekiro, but I still like it.
My only complaint about Dark Souls 3 (it's my favorite of the souls series) is that the stat "vitality" exists I think Elden Ring did it right by getting rid of it and allowing endurance to raise your equip load like the original Dark Souls did.
No seriously, fuck having 9 different stats to level up, 8 is the sweet spot
@@kevinnigins9488 yeah it really took away from the armor in the game for me
Honestly lies of p and having 6 is so good
@@HotPocketEnjoyer I bet! I need to get it soon!
The way DS works makes stamina the most important resource(to extreme extend I would say) and most of players will max it anyway. Add ANYTHING meaningfull(like equip load) extra to the same stat and that ends as "no brainer". They could try to find other way/mechanic to balance it making builds more diverse and intresting. Right now we just have yet another stat that EVERYONE have maxed anyway. It's basically same case as from 7:45
Elden Ring can either be the easiest game here or the hardest depending on how you want to go about it, to a certain degree.
elden ring without summons and a pretty "average"(no buffing up for five minutes) build is the hardest alongside sekiro if you look at the main bosses and the mechanics it expects you to deal with.
@@Ghorda9actually i think its harder than sekiro having played both multiple times. Sekiro has a steep learning curve, but once you mastered the basics, most bosses, including the ultimate test, ishin, are not that difficult for an average player like me. Elden ring is very easy up till mountaintops the second time around, but the late game bosses never feel easy, no matter the number of times. Malenia in particular. Due mostly to waterfall dance ofc, but slip ups are harshly punished.
@@popkhorne5372the bell bearing hunter is a very difficult boss, i started as a wretch, got my twinblade and did have basic gear, then to him, i think it was 50 tries until i learned him, he is so difficult but also it makes so much fun zo fight him
I dont get why this argument is only used for Elden ring... Try DS2 with caestus - it's gonna get quite hard
@@isais207 ds2 bosses don't get as hard and for navigating areas you have alluring skulls and fog gate speed runs.
Love the fact you’ve been covering these games
One of the best videos I've seen on this topic, ever. Liked and subscribed
It's so difficult to be objective with these lists because how you perceive a game's difficulty changes so much over time. On my first playthrough of DS3 Nameless King probably took me around 30 attempts, I found it really tough and nearly gave up on it because it's an optional boss. A few years ago I did an SL1 playthrough of DS3 which really forces you to learn the game inside and out and it was incredible, my best experience in a Souls game hands down. This week I went back to DS3 to tidy up remaining achievements and get the 100% on Steam. To do this you have go all the way to the end of NG+2, requiring 3 fights vs Nameless King in total. In all 3 NG cycles I beat him without getting hit on my first try. My perspective of his boss difficulty has warped so much since the game released that I honestly don't know how to categorise it.
Did you give all the other games the same kind of attention? What I mean by that is yeah, of course the game is gonna be harder when you’re a beginner vs after you’ve mastered it. Did you learn all the other games in the same way? If you haven’t, I don’t think how good you are now should really factor in. 30 attempts is a lot, he kicked your ass until you learned his moveset and patterns. Before you got good, you got stomped, and that’s an indicator of solid difficulty
Dammmmmn ChOpper!!! Back at it again with the rank vids 😅
Fantastic list, and great arguments behind each placement that I really found myself agreeing with. This is pretty much exactly my own list, except I would swap DS3 and DS1.
One of my favourite channels where I can put it on in the background and sit and stare for 10 minutes
I can completely agree with your stance on Sekiro. I got absolutely annihilated by every boss my first playthrough but now that I’ve beaten the game multiple times, even the hardest bosses in the game feel like pushovers. The learning process is rough for the game but it’s so satisfying to see all of your knowledge come together and help you!! One of FromSoft’s best and one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in recent memory
What I always find interesting about soulsborne games is that everyone has a different opinion on what games and what bosses are the hardest. I hear people often say they struggled immensely with bosses that I had no trouble with, but then I still have my own trouble with other bosses. I think it says a lot about the variety of play styles and strategies available, and I love it.
What I loved about both Demon's Souls and Elden Ring is if you're stuck on one boss, there are always multiple other places you can be and other bosses you can try instead. The Dark Souls series and BB tend to have a very clear 'order' to the bosses, with only a few exceptions and if you're stuck at one, you just have to keep trying till you beat it, which can get frustrating
Not really considering at least for ds2 which is the only one I’ve played it’s very free roam from my gameplay expeirnce
@@tristenatorplaysgames6833 It's non-linear but it was my experience that if you were stuck on one path/boss there was maybe one, sometimes two other paths you could go that were typically even harder than what you were stuck on. DeS has five branching levels that are designed to be mixed and matched, and Elden Ring is stocked to the gills with optional side content
@@carrot708 true I would say ds2 with the dlc feels very free flow and elden ring if you stumble into the wrong boss you’ll have it rough man
Ehhh. There were usually bosses you could go to instead if you were stuck on one. If your stuck on abyss watchers go fight crystal sage and deacons plus the two demon mini bosses. Stuck on pontiff go fight yhorm or double back and try dancer.
It wasn’t always an easier choice but it was another option.
DS2 is super open-ended from the start what do you mean.
No idea why everyone thinks Bloodborne is so hard, I haven't played the dlc but base game Bloodborne is a joke and nothing outside the chalice dungeons could kill me more than 2 times on my first playthrough
Finally someone who actually knows what's up I literally beat the Wet Nurse, The original hunter, and the moon presence all in a row on my first try.
I had the same experience. Father gas. killed me 6 times and then there wasn’t another boss that even managed to get me 3 times.
Honestly, I agree with most of this list.
The only thing I would probably change in my own list would be Bloodborne's positioning. I would have put it between DS1 and 3.
The hardest part of base game was the very beginning, when I had to learn the combat. After Gascoigne, it was fairly smooth sailing for me, with most of the bosses being between 1 and 3 attempts for me. The DLC was a bit harder, but I don't think I would put it above DS3's DLC in difficulty for me.
Same
Tbh new game plus makes you one tap so 😭
@@GhostCakes in bloodborne only dlc is hard the base game is easy
@@aganbraganca4156 yeah I’m talking abt dlc
Ngl this video is so bang on its unreal. Everything you said from sekiro being the hardest because of the learning process more than anything, to ds3 having technically harder bosses than some but in actuality it’s easier because of the options available to kill them, are all absolutely right bro
Bloodborne was my first of the Soulsborne series and I always find it interesting how it gets ranked on the difficulty meter. Me personally for the most part it's actually easy. Like all the games I've played so far; it seems to me once you figure out how the game works and where the good stuff is, you can break the game. And recently playing Dark Souls 2 & 1, I can see where the reception comes from. Like for the most part why people would go to Ds1 over Ds2
man that's a rough start
Yeah I think bloodborne is probably the middle of the road but I kinda find all the games apart from sekiro and elden ring kinda easy.
Elden Ring is easy af doe. @@logiclunacy606
Demons’ Souls definitely isn’t their first game in this style. It’s just the first to get popular. You can see the inspiration from King’s Field in these games.
The difficulty of DS1 is on the level design, but the boss fights are easy, because of the limited move set
Never thought i'd see my render in a thumbnail. Great video!
I love how everytime one of these lists happens everyone debates all the entries except No. 1 where nobody disputes that it's Sekiro lol
Sekiro is not a souls game, so the discussion is moot.
Sekiro doesn't belong in Souls discussions, they're not even the same genre.
I haven't watched this yet, but I want to know if every game on this list was played without using a guide. It makes such a HUGE difference.
Getting a platinum trophy in Sekiro is one of my proudest gaming achievements
Something else about Dark Souls 2 that no one ever mentions is that Rings of Sacrifice are repairable. Pairing that with having 4 ring slots and death also carries no penalty once you have a few.
I find it interesting that DS2 is almost always viewed as the 2nd easiest or 2nd or 3rd hardest. It's never really in the middle
@mswerkmeister It was the easiest for me. Weapons were typically more powerful and progression was way faster.
Ds2 dlc was a fucking animal. Two tiger fight, great dragon fight, sir alonne, smelter demon 2, and fume knight.
It was pretty obvious that sekiro would be the top but my experience is a bit different. For me the hardest of these games was probably dark souls 3, out of all these games it was the one that took the longest to really pull me in. With Sekiro there was this "ah-ha" moment some three or four hours into the game that really gave me a good idea of what the game was about. And I think the reason why so many people see it as the most difficult fromsoft game is because they approach it like dark souls or Elden ring. In fact, it's almost like you have to relearn a lot of the combat mechanics, things that would help you in dark souls get punished heavily in Sekiro. For example in all the other dark souls games, you have stamina, whereas in Sekiro you don't. It's also much easier to reset fights because you can quickly retreat and get back into stealth. Then you learn about the flow of combat, that in most fights you should open with some sort of stealth strike and then push offense until the boss starts to deflect you at which point you switch into defense. There are bosses in the game that do kind of flip this on its head too which is cool but once you've got that flow down, it's just a matter of grinding things out. Imo, Sekiro is almost the easiest of all of these games once you understand what it wants from you. It's difficulty kind of reminds me of Celeste, both games are extremely difficult games that anybody can beat with enough perseverance and practice. It's why the game is much easier once you've already beaten it a single time, you already understand how you can push the rules of the game to your advantage and the RPG elements are so minor that most good players can beat the entire game without them.
FR dude, I’ve been thinking about this for such a long time. Sekiro is not that hard of a game, people just go into it as if it was a traditional souls title. You just get into the rhythm of the parries and your chillin.
And yeah bro idk how people can say sword Saint compensates for the difficulty of Midir, Friede, and Gale.
Professional yappers
In Sekiro, I have to watch youtube guides many times to beat some bosses, but Owl father fight is very very satisfying when you memorised all the attack pattern.
love you Ch0pper
I played the Demon Souls remake and it has been one of my favorites mostly because of how unbelievably beautiful it looks. Blue Point created something special, now do Bloodborne!
Never played a souls game but always loved watching people play and the aesthetic. Just started Sekiro and I’m getting DECIMATED but I can’t put it down the challenge keeps me stuck to it! I keep replaying boss combos in my head lol it’s tricky but it’s the best feeling when u get that final deathblow 😂
Hang with it, just know that unlike the others... you have to adapt to how sekiro wants to be played. It took me a minute to get out of the roll away mentality, and once i embraced deflecting, it made parrying in the other games easier
@@mswerkmeister Thank you, I hung in there and made it through all the way to the end. Defeating Sword Saint to wrap it all up was really the icing on the cake. I loved that it didn’t let up and forced me into learning to dictate the combat by repeated failure. It couldn’t be said better with the roll away mentality, it almost feels like a rhythm game when you get the hang of it! The posture gauge was such a brilliant mechanic too. My experience with this game is so cherished and led me to go out and purchase Bloodborne the same night I finished it, I just had to sink my teeth into another Fromsoftware masterpiece 😂😂
@@hellomnm sword Saint is such an amazing fight. It took me forever to get past the spear phase
Great list, you're right Demons Soul is the easiest however NG+ is probably the hardest NG+ out of the soulsborne. Your commentary on sekiro was spot as well. It was by far the hardest game on list when referring to 1st playthrough but after beating isshin and starting NG+ plus i was now a true Shinobi and i blasted through the game, there was no better feeling than beating isshin1st try 😂
DS2 and Bloodborne:
I’d actually say ng demon souls is the 3rd hardest soulsborne. It’s got the horrible runbacks for bosses, world tendency that adds a level of tension and levels that sometimes feel just unfair. Iframes on rolls are the lowest in any soulsborne game along with the janky combat and the unclarity of where to go in the beginning. If we’re talking abt magic build then yeah it’s the easiest
I think most of us forget just how much we struggled on our first game
Great video! For me, It’d probably be Demon Souls, DS2, Dark Souls, Blood Borne, Elden Ring, DS3, then sekiro. Elden Ring is tricky because it’s completely different with/without summons. I was a little upset with how easy I found Blood Borne because I think it’s too easy overall (after blood starved beast I think it gets easier). You should do a ranking based on platinum/trophy difficulty because it’s night and day differences between games
Dark Souls 1 for me was harder, cause at that time I had no access to internet, so no guides at all (yes, I got lost in tomb of giants without the lord vessel and had to travel it back - almost soft locked myself xD)
I played DS2 also without internet but it was easier to navigate, plus the fact that you can warp from the beggining, made it much easier. Getting platinum on DS2 was more time consuming than DS1, farming those falconers for Sunlight medals took me a LOT of time, more than Souvenir of reprisals from harpies in DS1.
I fell like ds1 is the hardest out of the triology, and it was the last i played, yes, i know the bosses are easy overall, but the areas are just soo cheeky, one wrong step and gravity will do the rest, and considering that a lot of areas has narrow paths, is not hard for that to hapen, some enemies are tough as well, the dark sorcerers on ooacile can easily 2-3 shot you, as well as all those monkey like enemies in the same area and the numerous crystal hollows on duke archives hiting like trucks, plus areas having other hazards/condicions ( like the traps in sen's fortress or the complete darkness of tomb of the giants )
@@jajasking9652 i think dark souls 1 has the easy bosses with some exeptsions here and there but most bosses are pretty easy,
i think it is the most cryptic of all the souls games, like how are you supposed to know that you have to wait in a birds nest for 30 seconds or that you have to connect the item's description to an obscure, off-the-beaten-path location that has a giant painting. Assuming you even noticed the painting the first time you were there, i will say it does make the discoveries you make more satisfying when you do find them but it can get annoying sometimes and i don't blame anybody who doesn't like it .I think if they added some more clues about the cryptic stuff would have helped it.
it can be difficult to traverse the levels the first time you play them, i died more to traps or annyong enemy placement rather than any boss, blighttown is still the most annoying level i have ever experience in a souls game, yes you have the annoying levels in the other games like dark souls 2 like the forest where you have to fight invisible enemies or the way to the rotten boss, the rotten boss is easy but the way to ge to him is annoying as hell but i died less there that i did in blighttown,
that being said dark souls 1 did teach me to pay more attention to my surroundings and what to expect in a DS game and how to approach it better and as a result i had an easier time in the later games in the series.
Ir is all subjective but I think Elden Ring is probably the easiest. I did not play demon souls but all other.
For months now, I regularly go back to Sekiro and fight The three inner versions of Genichiro, Father and Isshin in one session, just to stay sharp, even long after getting the platinum. Soo good. Demon of Hatred though is a hard pass.😅😅
It’s interesting how different people view some of these games. I just finished bloodborne for the first time and it was a breeze. But I remember struggling so much with various DS2 & DS3 portions. I understand that is seen as backwards to many others. Great games regardless 👍
Wow I'm amazed by individual differences in perception of difficulty. I've played every soulsborne including sekiro and I have to say I found demon's souls the most difficult one: it has the longest run back to bosses and those are also difficult areas. I kept losing souls. Also I needed to go farm herbs every two or three attempts.
I’m about to get my first ever Souls game experience with Elden Ring. Wish me luck 🤞🏻🍀
how’s it going/how did it go?
@@bumbism5124 I’m about 80 hours in, level 90+ and approaching some of the tougher areas now, and the game has honestly been amazing!
@@GreatJoey91 glad to hear it, what’s been your favorite boss so far?
@@bumbism5124 Margit, the Fell Omen was great because I felt like I actually learnt his move set and beat him with skill.
Other than that I enjoy the crucible knights.
Still got a lot of the big bosses to go, so looking forward to those.
@@GreatJoey91 yeah margit was such a great boss, he’s one of my favorites
i hope you continue to have a great experience playing the game
Bloodbourne was my first souls game. It toke a while for me to understand what a souls game supposed to be played.
Bloodbourne was my first souls game and i still feel that it's the hardest for me , i always come back to play it from time to time because it's my favorite and still struggle sometimes
1 thing that i dont think he directly mentioned for Sekiro is that the game rewards u being aggressive and the more u learn about how to play the more aggressive u can be. On a first playthrough u are likly to beat alot of bosses be almost completely depleting there hp, however the better u get that hp bar dosent mean mutch atall anymore and if u can keep up the aggressive playstyle u will beat bosses with half of there hp still remaining. Sekiro is also the only game where u actually start the game on easy mode and u can make it even harder in 2 ways. U have the Demon bell in the mountains that u can get to right after beating the Chained Ogre that makes enemys harder but is most noticable on bosses. U also got the option to give away Lord Kuro´s charm on a NG+ run or a fresh save after u beat the game once. That will make u take chip dmg if u miss time a deflect and end up blocking instead.
If for some reson u think the game is getting easy then start up a fresh save and give Kuros charm back to him at the moonview tower and ring that Demon bell after beating the Chained Ogre. That small amount of chip dmg adds up really quick.
That Orphan of Kos fight was stressful to watch
Got platinum on Sekiro last week now I've got platinum in all the soul's games. Was not easy!
Simply the addition of the open world and omni directional rolling makes ER easier than ds1 and ds2.
Sekiro kicked my ass I never really got the hang of it. I beat it twice and never picked it up again
You should do soulslikes next. I wanna see how you feel about the likes of lies of p, lords of the fallen, mortal shell etc
I played all souls and I had the biggest troubles when I first played demon souls after completing them all
Wow a souls video I actually completely agree with for once!
2:09
Tell me your snoop dog without telling me your snoop dag
Damn. Am I the only one feels that Demon soul is really hard? I’ve beat Bloodborne and Sekiro hundreds times but I didn’t even finish the first map of demon souls and I didn’t even want to continue. No check points from beginning to the boss is kinda nuts and stupid to me
My first souls game… was also Elden Ring. I have no shame. It is a challenging game but definitely not the hardest. If you think of it as you can come back to any boss, it is easy. There are also op rune farms that get you hundreds of levels in a couple minutes. This game can even go in fourth or fifth, it just depends on your play style.
Hardest to traverse through the levels (including boss run backs) - DS2 - BY FAR
Hardest Bosses - Maybe Sekiro all things considered
Hardest overall from the perspective of a new player with ZERO online help (wikis - guides etc.) - DS1 and DS2. They are extremely chaotic. You can't even find weapons, upgrade materials or even the blacksmiths easily.
RPG mechanics are a double edged sword in terms of difficulty. Personally, the hardest for me was DS1, which i played back in 2012 with no guides. Being in the depths CURSED with basically an unupgraded weapon was a nightmare and far harder than anything i played later. In DS3 for example, progression is right in front of you. Upgrade materials come in plenty and in your way, and everything you need is in the hub area.
And of course difficulty is very subjective. EG. For me that i played all the previous games without a shield, Bloodborne was a cakewalk, since it was the same playstyle, but i felt 3 times as powerful, with the increased speed and the rallying system.
Sekiro certainly has the steepest learning curve as you have to truly learn the mechanics and not simply overlevel or summon. That being said, once it clicks, it goes from being the hardest to one of the easiest.
Dark Souls 2 is the true example of a team that did not understand the essence of a souls game. And what happens when Miyazaki is not involved.
Elden Ring is absolutely brutal and the bosses hit like freight trains and can 1 shot you even if you have good armor and are at a decent level. I went back to DS3 afterwards and the damage output of enemies was was noticeable lower. I feel like Elden Rings bosses and some enemies damage output needed to be nurfed just slightly.
Elden ring was my first souls game, just saw that sekiro is 50% off on Xbox and right when I get home from work I’m installing that and I’m excited to die a lot
Most of these lists seem to always have BB and/or Sekiro at the top.
Those are the two games I've played the most out of any Souls type games... I've played through BB probably 10+ times fully and countless other characters I've messed around with and when I finally got around to playing Sekiro, I liked it so much that I beat it four times in a row with different ending lol.
"If you beat Sekiro that means you earned it" 🔥✍️
I feel like part of the reason why Sekiro is seen as one of the hardest if not the hardest game is the fact that the combat is so much different from the rest of the fromsoftware games. the combat from Sekiro forces you to be aggressive at almost all times; while the rest of the games you go on the defensive and wait for an opening to strike. which is what I believe threw almost every person (a soul veteran or not) for a loop. Everyone was in the same boat, experience with the other games didn’t help you much when it came to sekiro.
Yeah Elden Ring is definitely the hardest one to rank lol. Depending on your build, it's either the hardest souls game, or the easiest one. You can literally kill bosses in a single hit with certain builds, or cheese them with almost no difficulty.
Hey I had an idea about the shadow of the erdtree what if the shadow is a reference to the eclipse or what I really think is since the erdtree gives off most of the light maybe the eclipse needs to block out the light of the erdtree and that’s why they couldn’t get it to work at castle sol. there might be holes in this but just a thought
I think sekiro has been the hardest so far from the ones ive played for sure. Also nothing can replace the thrill of the mikiri counter.
I can go up to two hours without dying in ds1 and 2, but I constantly get bodied in Sekiro. It's brutal
I think you severely underestimate how much the lack of shortcuts, World Tendency, and the Soul Form health penalty impacts the difficulty of Demon's Souls. I would have placed it above DS1 AND DS2 in terms of difficulty for new players. Life gems are both way easier to get and more stackable than the grasses ever were, and DS1 is a pretty easy game by Souls standards IMO.
Sekiro is not a Souls Game. Having said that, whichever one you play first will be the hardest and they will get progressively easier from there.
I don't really agree that the first is the hardest. Ds3 feels different enough from ds1 that I found ds1 harder than ds3 when I played it second.
No sekiro sequel is the most grim criminal offense fromsoft has done in recent memory
I think I am the only person on the planet that finds Sekiro to be the easiest and Demon's Souls to be the hardest 😂.
Sekiro definitely hardest to learn but my second playthrough was a breeze for the most part except Isshin, who I haven't defeated on ng+ yet.
The only reason Demon Souls is considered easy is because we have 15 years of hindsight. Trust me, when that game came out and we had no points of reference on how to play a Souls game it was harder than all the others for that reason.
In the sense of using every tool you have sekiro being the hardest makes sense as the prosthetic tool can only take you so far. But sekiro really didn’t seem as challenging as I thought it would be watching others play
DS1 was real easy on my second run through the game.
This was not the same feeling I had in Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Elden Ring or Sekiro.
I would argue NG+ DS2 is the actual game. There are so many differences that it feels like NG is more of the tutorial run through
as a sekiro player who has beat inner isshin without getting hit. i can confidently say that elden ring was harder.
Plat sekiro and Bloodbourne was challenge that i love
4 days to beat Gwyn because I didn’t know I could parry him
4 to 6 hours to beat the last boss of OG Dark Souls 2
2 hours to beat the last boss of Dark Souls 3
3 hours to beat the last boss of bloodborne including the moon presence
4 Weeks to beat Inshin the sword Saint with no tools only deflect and reflect
No way moon presence took you 3 hours 😭
i honestly hated constantly foraging for heals in demon souls so easiest could be switched with ds2 (bc of life gems)
I tried playing DS1 when it came out and was so turned off by the lack of direction and how confusing it was. Got elden ring when it came out and was obsessed and put hundreds of hours into it and the game style just clicked. I’m trying to beat DS1 now and boy oh boy is it wayyyyy harder than Elden ring. Satiating but way more difficult.
Wasted so much money on buying Darksiders III, Nioh, Nioh II, Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls III, Bloodborne trying to get into the genre
I've been playing Bloodborne a lot. I finished it multiple times, I think I did everything there was to do.
It was my first FS game, now I'm thinking which one to play next.
I think i will try Sekiro or ER.
Sekiro punishes you for not being perfect.
I have still yet to beat sekiro, but every few months I like to pretend it'll happen one day...
I think Dark Souls 2 is harder then Elden Ring because in ER you can go anywhere you want early to get overpowered quickly. You can’t exactly do that in Dark Souls 2. The only paths you can take early is the fume tower and the forest of giants.
I never had trouble with Dark Souls Remastered😐
The thing about Dark Souls 1 compared to the rest is, unless you have considerable endurance, you roll like a log.
Sekiro was my third and definitely the most difficult for me
I just beat Sekiro today, took me about 2 weeks. I beat all the bosses (including the mini bosses and the secret demon of the hatred boss) and got the return ending. And it’s legitimately “get good or give up like a f****** coward!”
And imo Sekiro is not a SoulsBorne but it’s a SoulsLike. Like Nioh 1 & 2.
You only included the Demon's Souls remake. You didn't include the original on PS3.
And where does Lies of P ranked in between?
Your list sounds like games you like and dislike rather than game difficulty ranking.
Dude said it was hard to die in demon souls. 😮
Maybe it’s because I beat Bloodborne over a dozen times now but I think that game is much easier than dark souls 1 and Elden Ring
Couldnt disagree more. As a player who has beaten each soulsborne game, my list is Demons, DS2, elden ring, DS3, DS1 ties bloodborne, then Sekiro.
U say that elden ring is hard when you take out using summons. But who does that. Summons are overpowered, magic is overpowered, and there are ashes of war that are super overpowered.
And completing 4 soulsborne games before completing DS3, i demolished DS3. I felt the bosses mechanics were the same as previous games which made them extremely predictable.
great video, on point in my opinion !!! i was so bad in sekiro but managed it anyway to beat every hidden boss...somehow🤣🤣🤣
Weird, I had an easier time with Sekiro than with the souls series. Granted I still got my ass kicked and I haven't beaten Isshin yet, but overall the game just clicked for me and I was able to progress at a decent pace. With souls games I will get stuck on some bosses for days, and there's always a mental block I have to push through when starting the game up again.
Yeah you nailed it
Have you played lies of p?
I agree mostly, but Bloodborne can’t be harder than DS3 honestly. Especially not in terms of the enemies and bosses, which are objectively more difficult in DS3. The only way that DS3 can really be easier is if you go the mage route and run a magic build - since obviously you can’t rely on that as much in Bloodborne - but even then Bloodborne bosses on average are so much easier in comparison that it really doesn’t matter. Plus there’s enough items like Beast Blood Pellets to just make the fights completely trivial.
Till this day. I have not been able to Solo Malenia
It definitely depends on the person. I could only get past world 1.1 on Demon souls. I had a hard time with bloodborn, too. Elden Ring has been the easiest souls like game for me. I've been doing really well. Im almost level 80. Im loving it. It's probably one of my favorite games ever.
Sekiro's difficulty is trivialized once you discover that you can't play it like a Souls game and start embracing the parry system. Bloodborne I'd say is the hardest since there is no real broken routing. Every other game you can become completely OP in an hour or less.
Armored core 6 first soulsborne game to truly kick my Ass
I’m aware it’s not a soulsborne technically, but the gameplay and mechanics favor the new games they’ve made since demon souls and beyond than their original AC games
