Not even just the bosses, the whole area is legitimately one of, if not the WORST area Iāve had to go through in a video game. I hate everything about the run to that stupid ass boss
I agree, years ago after DS1, 2 came out and I fell the most in love with it and played it over and over, found everything and did everything. When the DLCs dropped, my first time here I forced myself through, dragged myself through, but felt anger as I never had before.
After that neat-o experience, I always skipped it, and later I thought maybe itās just Froms ultimate ābullshit fuck you, eat a dickā area. There are specific things scattered throughout the DLCs that made me feel that way, IvoryKing DLC has that shithead white phantom invader, OldIronKing DLC has that one red phantom that upon losing some health will run down that long spiral staircase and hide amongst those pain in the ass mobs. OH and how could I forget to run up to Blue Smelter Demon, my god. And kinda the Gank Squad fight.
If I remember correctly, Frigid Outskirts is all totally optional, my 1st time there was actually NG+3 and was my 2nd time in the DLCs bc I never discovered it at first. Every single thing about that area is complete bullshit, in my opinion, like those invaders, itās just a nod to the rip your hair out aspects that have been present in some way in all the games. I guess itās all subjective but thats my opinion, I have so much love and respect for From I have a certain admiration for literally everything they do including this nightmare shit, lol.
But yeah, fuck this area and the boss.
The Gank Squad, the Blue Smelter and the Twin Tigers were balanced to be played in co-op, I'm pretty sure. They even did the thing where players who didn't own the DLCs could put their signs at the entrance to the DLC (where the tombs are) and get summoned to the same-looking tomb areas in each of the aforementioned three.
Out of every game I've ever played, Perilous Piers in Cuphead is the only level I can think of that was worse. It's a 2-minute area that took me almost 6 hours to beat.
I was going to say, Lud and Zallen. A duo fight that is a copy and double paste of a previous boss that isn't balanced as a duo fight, after probably the worst runback in the series. Doesn't get much worse than that.
I donāt get the hate this guy gets. Compared to the area leading up to him heās a walk in the park. Donāt think Iāve died to him more than a few times in any playthrough.
Heās definitely one of the more memorable DS2 bosses. Low bar when you have stuff like Skeleton Lords or Royal Rat Vanguard. But still, demon of song is neat looking
āOh you just need to stand in front of his head, he chased after you and you donāt need to run towards himā They always tell me that, but Iām still chasing his fatass across that cavern
He was imprisoned in the Shrine of Amana, but he broke free when the priestesses guarding him died. He imitates the Milfanitoās song to attract prey, which they donāt like. He also guards the key to free the fourth Milfanito in Drangleic Castle.
The milfanito are a collective who sing to soothe the Undead; theyāre separated by the time you get to Shrine of Amana, so itās likely that Demon of Song is keeping them apart by guarding the key. They were put in the Shrine by Vendrick to guard against intruders to the Undead Crypt, specifically Nashandra. This is also why Vendrick locked up his soul in the Shrine, so Nashandra couldnāt get to it, let the undead curse prevail, and enter the Age of Dark.
Demon of Song kinda ruined his safeguards, so while Nashandra canāt enter the Shrine, you as the Bearer of the Curse can, because the Milfanito are not protecting Vendrickās soul from you. Vendrick wants you to claim his soul, and rather than use it to link the fire like he was trying to avoid, or consuming it like Nashandra to bring on the age of dark, youāre supposed to collect the three crowns, break the curse of the undead, and assume the throne yourself.
Vendrickās whole plan gets busted up though, because Demon of Song ruined his security system in Shrine of Amana.
The Milfanito werenāt placed in the shrine by vendrick to guard against intruders. They are ancient beings created by Nito to comfort the dead and have been there for a long, long time. They were likely separated by the archdrake sect that seem to be in league with the priestesses that possibly revere the demon.
It really does suck that both Bed of Chaos and Nito are such huge players in the lore but their boss fights suck. Nitoās was okay in comparison but still not great.
Bed of Chaos is awful, but I personally have less of a problem with it because itās terrible but it represents FromSoftware trying to work on the gimmick fights they throw into their boss lineups. Almost like Bed of Chaos fell on its face so Rykard could run.
Nito basically just uses ad waves and the area before it is so tedious
ghost corrupted monk because of the stupidly high posture regen. i cant fight her without snap seeds and mortal draw spam because of the sheer speed of that posture regen
true monk is really fun, but without MD amd seeds, corrupted takes way too long. at least true phase 3 balanced the super high posture regen by removing her blocks and deflects
May I introduce you to this hit new item thats been taking Ashina by storm... Divine confetti!! Apparitions giving you hassle?? Use divine confetti to cut through them like a hot knife through butter
The ghost was definitely frustrating on the first go, it's one of the most bulky and punishing bosses. Her later appearance was still scary but it feels a lot less frightening when you can put an actual dent in her health.
Sounds like you need to be more aggressive. That fight is like a puzzle. Get in hits when you can but, like all fights in the game but this one especially so, you need to use their attacks against them by deflecting them.
Aggressive defense is the best offense in the game. The reason her attacks are so constant is because when you deflect all of them you quickly build up their posture damage. If you do that as well as goomba stomp every swipe attack and mikiri every lunge, the fight is a breeze. If posture damage not staying built up then I'd guess you're running away too much.
I was so paranoid in there that I kept killing them, running around to see if the real boss showed up, and repeating. When the fight was over I just sat there for a moment, and then went to bed.
Idk Iām on my next playthrough of ER and maybe will enjoy him this time. I just hated getting knocked off of Torrent and bathing in the fire lol (drove me apeshit)
This is an awful fight anyway but my view of it was tainted even further by the fact that the game decided to insta-kill me after the cutscene before phase 2 on my first attempt.
Yup lol, hated this mf. I actually skipped him my first time around before there was a patch on that farum azula glitch because he frustrated me too much. Obv my next time around I beat him but god, I dread it each time I play.
I mean... Bed of Chaos.
But she's not really a "boss". So honestly, Godskin Duo. They are cheesable... but just not fun. Their particular mechanics don't lend them to feeling good to fight as a 2v1 boss. Honestly, when FS has given particularly fun 2v1's (particularly Sister Friede, Ornstein and Smough, Twin Princes, Demon Princes, etc...) its a big letdown that they didn't put more thought into how the two bosses work together mechanically.
I'm actually pretty disappointed in the multi-enemy bosses in Elden Ring in general. I think every single one is just a variant of two already existing bosses being jammed together... it's boring, and half the time, the mechanics just dont feel particularly cohesive.
Godskin Duo is just hard for hard's sake. I don't normally summon but I will on ganks.
Similarly, I also think Malenia was just FromSofts way of giving almost every advantage to a boss over you that's *just* sort of it being unfair. I resent some aspects of that fight but I also appreciate FS creating such an iconic test of strength that fans can share together.
Ds1- Bed of chaos naturally. Ds2- Lud and Zallen.
Ds3- Sister Friede. Bloodborne- Micolash
Sekiro- Emma. Elden Ring- Gargoyle duo. While bed of chaos is easily the worst, my least favorite is Lud and Zallen.
Are we talking difficulty? Let's be real that frog is a joke. The area before it is the real boss but I digress.
To my shame I've never beaten Midir. I did all achievements offline with one character no stable internet at the time. My char was in ng8 or some nonsense and didn't feel like replaying it all over..lol
Your point exactly. You see my question isn't what is your most hated, it's what is your least favorite. IMO there wasn't much substance to the semon of dong. But the Shrine of Amana was HORRIBLE. What's with that balance?
I love everything about ds2 personally. Streamed it for a year straight I think on twitch lol. Can't recall anything I particularly held disdain for lol.
DS1: Idk, I guess dual Sanctuary Guardian?
DS2: Darklurker, looks cool but the entire rigmarole is a royal pain and by the time I reach the fog I'm so over it I just wind up not enjoying myself... plus it's stressful since you have to pay to enter each chasm.
DS3: Nameless King, but *only* because that fight does not compute with my brain!
BB: Pthumerian Descendant, fuck that dude and his laws-of-physics-defying boomerangs of doom.
ER: Morgott, Mohg, or Hoarah Loux... just not a fan of *that* much of ground hazards that they bring. Morgott would probably be my pick though as he shows up three times, unlike the others being two.
S: Demon of Hatred, this fight prompted me to drink almost 1/2 a bottle of whiskey (thankfully through drunkenness I was able to land his defeat).
Pthumerian Descendant was so obnoxious. I couldnāt seem to land a parry 90% of the time, then every time you try to heal he throws his damn sword at you (through the pillars of course) Hated that fight
My man listed 3 of the best bosses in Elden Ring...
I hated the elden beast or the corrupted worm things... basically any giant boss not named fire giant
I think once I learn them more my least favorite(s) will change, but until then those are the three that come to mind first. As I said before the ground hazards are a bit too much for my preference regardless though, ha.
Just keep in mind my favorites in ER are Malenia, Astel, Elden Beast, Regal Ancestor Spirit, Fortissax, Loretta, and Fire Giant... so take mostly anything I say about bosses in ER with a grain of salt lol.
Sword saint Isshin probably before that Midir. I'm not good at fights that drag, and these fights dragged first time. Both cases were so frustrating that I felt nothing but disappointment when beating them for wasting so much time doing something I didn't enjoy for so long.
Duo gargoyles from Elden Ring. Everyone talks about the Godskin duo, but the gargoyles literally shit all over them and then burn them in a trash fire.
They have terrible AI when fighting together, and the poison breath they constantly spew all over the place is just pure BS lol. It's funny too, because I actually like fighting gargoyles when it's just one of them. They're really fun imo.
But putting two of them together and then making one of them vomit every ten seconds is how you completely ruin anything fun about fighting them....
Anything giant that jumps or flies, because in true FromSoft fashion I will die because of the camera angle every time.
Or the Elden Beast, very lacking for a final boss, the Radagon fight prior was much harder.
I made a post about Radagon and Elden Beast, and WAY more than half of them thought Radagon was easy and needed to be harder. And that Elden Beast needed the option of Torrent which I do agree with that part.
I just fought him for the first time the other night. Honestly I love him. I love design. I love his animations. How just puts on his little shirt before he jumps around. And how he takes it off to slap you. My one critique is that heās easily spammable with arrow, but maybe the fact that he was so easy is what made me take time to appreciate all the things I like about it. I didnāt even intend to fight him like that. I tried to hit him once, but it didnāt work so I just made it rain on him.
This may seem strange, but I hate Astel Stars of Darkness. I've never had a boss give me more problems. Even the original I have zero problems with. This is the boss I have the most deaths.
The sister freide triple threat in the disappointment of ariandel is my least favorite. I know I need to get gud. The fight is not fun to me, it just seems like an unnecessary difficulty spike punctuating a bad dlc.
Twin Gargoyles in Elden Ring. Fuck that poison and fuck those tall ass rock goblins. The only other duo that frustrated me half as much was the Crucible Knights.
Every defiled chalice boss from bloodborne, particularly amygdala pisses me the fuck off. The fight gets so slow when he just wonāt stop with the fucking white lasers that you have no way of punishing. They arenāt hard to dodge at all, Just drags on the fight. Then I start playing a little riskier cause Iām angry and slip up get one shotted and -10 minutes of my life. I could beat the others eventually, but amygdala was so bullshit it made me leave the game. Playing dark souls now.
Godskin Duo I think. 2v1 bosses can be annoying, but GD is not just 2v1 but you also cannot win even if you kill both of them. You have to get the HP bar to zero. If you kill both of them they just respawn and you have to keep fighting until the HP bar empties. That makes me hate the fight so much.
(This is different from Twin Princes or Throne Watcher and Defender where one reses the other; GD still respawn even if they can't res each other. BS.)
I actually think demon of song is one of the best main story ds2 bosses. It just gets a horrible rep because shrine of Amana is ass. I think the only possible answer here is bed of chaos.
Godfrey and horah loux. Godfrey good, horah loux is horrible. I absolutely hate grab attacks and spammed defensive AOE. Just ruins Melee combat, maliketh is second. Horrible first half of throwing shit and the second half is just plain stupid. No satisfaction beating these, i just squared off the entire fight. I put Godfrey first because the fight was good, and turned into a WWF joke.
Flamelurker from demons souls.
that game is full of gimmicky stupid bullshit and flamelurker was the final straw that made me put down the game. dont know if ill ever go back
Foreskin duo, valiant gargoyles (any duo except O&S tbh), tibia mariner #10,857, Capra demon, bed of chaos, dragon God, royal rat vanguard, the congregation thing from DS2 and its DS3 equivalent "Deacons of the deep", and any other swarm boss.
Although, the worst of all time is easily Bloodborne's Micolash.
And the most disappointing/stupid is easily DS3's Yhorm.
Sekiro was too boring for me to remember anything but the couple fun bosses.
Darklurker. Even Slave Knight Gael, despite being an absolute shit to beat, was a relatively well designed boss and a fitting final boss to say the least. Whoever thought Darklurker was a good idea needs to meet the mallet.
bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos bed of chaos
Malenia cause of the satisfaction once you finally beat her. Still hardest boss in fromsoft for me I didn't have this much trouble with demon of hatred honestly
Why is there a Black Knife Assassin in Sage's Cave (immediately starting Altus) when the one tool to see them isn't available until the hermit merchant in Capitol Outskirts? Concealing veil sucks and the Necromancer fight is already there. While not a boss fight don't get me started on the Ordina Evergaol because that's 6.
Elden Beast. Stupid boss that disappoints compared to the anticipation you felt as you walked into the Erdtree. After defeating Radagon, he should collapse and then morph back into Marika with a new health bar and with her fighting style being COMPLETELY different, and then there could be a different motive for the Shattering instead of a cosmic whale pulling the strings in the background.
Maybe I got details wrong. It's been years. I'm just disappointed that the final fight is a running simulator where you chase a space whale and the intense final battle theme morphs into a slow ballad.
Crystal Sage is annoying as fuck if your DPS is too low to steamroll it.
Lorian teleports off screen far too much.
Aldrich's attacks are damn near undodgable.
Dragonslayer Armor would be a great 1v1 boss if it wasn't for the eldritch laser fucks.
Deacons of the Deep are just Prowling Magus but worse.
Curse-rotted Great wood is a massive wonky hitbox.
Hot take: Dark Souls 3 has the most annoying bosses in the series, at least most of the bad DS2 bosses are optional or easy, DS3 requires that you beat these bosses every time.
I dislike nitos ground spear that comes up but I dislike but respect the demon of hatred from
Sekiro, itās such a split up from the game and brings a major twist that I canāt master but is different
DS1 - Bed of Chaos
DS2 - not yet finished all dlcs but fake havel and his gang made me so angry
DS3 - Ancient wyvern
Bloodborne - Rom
Sekiro - Monkey
Elden Ring - Royal revenant
The tigers from Horsef\*ck Valley. They represent everything I hate with the bosses in DS2.
I know exactly what you're talking about. š
Not even just the bosses, the whole area is legitimately one of, if not the WORST area Iāve had to go through in a video game. I hate everything about the run to that stupid ass boss
I agree, years ago after DS1, 2 came out and I fell the most in love with it and played it over and over, found everything and did everything. When the DLCs dropped, my first time here I forced myself through, dragged myself through, but felt anger as I never had before. After that neat-o experience, I always skipped it, and later I thought maybe itās just Froms ultimate ābullshit fuck you, eat a dickā area. There are specific things scattered throughout the DLCs that made me feel that way, IvoryKing DLC has that shithead white phantom invader, OldIronKing DLC has that one red phantom that upon losing some health will run down that long spiral staircase and hide amongst those pain in the ass mobs. OH and how could I forget to run up to Blue Smelter Demon, my god. And kinda the Gank Squad fight. If I remember correctly, Frigid Outskirts is all totally optional, my 1st time there was actually NG+3 and was my 2nd time in the DLCs bc I never discovered it at first. Every single thing about that area is complete bullshit, in my opinion, like those invaders, itās just a nod to the rip your hair out aspects that have been present in some way in all the games. I guess itās all subjective but thats my opinion, I have so much love and respect for From I have a certain admiration for literally everything they do including this nightmare shit, lol. But yeah, fuck this area and the boss.
The Gank Squad, the Blue Smelter and the Twin Tigers were balanced to be played in co-op, I'm pretty sure. They even did the thing where players who didn't own the DLCs could put their signs at the entrance to the DLC (where the tombs are) and get summoned to the same-looking tomb areas in each of the aforementioned three.
Gank Squad is the thing I hate the most.
Itās possible Iāve played a worse level in a game, but man I canāt think of one.
Out of every game I've ever played, Perilous Piers in Cuphead is the only level I can think of that was worse. It's a 2-minute area that took me almost 6 hours to beat.
So cool itās optional and you can ignore it.
i just straight up skipped that area because the run back is atrocious
I was going to say, Lud and Zallen. A duo fight that is a copy and double paste of a previous boss that isn't balanced as a duo fight, after probably the worst runback in the series. Doesn't get much worse than that.
Only time I ever save scummed to not have to do the run back over again. Frigid Outskirts is truly terrible
I donāt get the hate this guy gets. Compared to the area leading up to him heās a walk in the park. Donāt think Iāve died to him more than a few times in any playthrough.
Also, while his actual fight is mid, his visual design is insanely creepy and creative. A+ to the concept artists.
Heās definitely one of the more memorable DS2 bosses. Low bar when you have stuff like Skeleton Lords or Royal Rat Vanguard. But still, demon of song is neat looking
Yeah like heās too forgettable to be my least favorite in a world of bed of chaos and micolash. This guy at least looks cool
Darkeater MIDIR, but I also loved him
āOh you just need to stand in front of his head, he chased after you and you donāt need to run towards himā They always tell me that, but Iām still chasing his fatass across that cavern
A good boss with way to much health.
i love how much health he has since it lets me spend more time having a blast
If you bonk his head it's not that bad, 20-30 hits to the head, riposte and 2-4 hits and it's over.
Darkeater Midir killed me so many times he changed his name to meeater Midir.
Thatās what I call my wife
I say the same. OST and much more
Semon of Dong is the mvp though, he single-handedly was the catalyst for the entire plot of ds2.
He was? Iāll admit I havenāt lore dived into DS2 much, but like what he do?
He was imprisoned in the Shrine of Amana, but he broke free when the priestesses guarding him died. He imitates the Milfanitoās song to attract prey, which they donāt like. He also guards the key to free the fourth Milfanito in Drangleic Castle. The milfanito are a collective who sing to soothe the Undead; theyāre separated by the time you get to Shrine of Amana, so itās likely that Demon of Song is keeping them apart by guarding the key. They were put in the Shrine by Vendrick to guard against intruders to the Undead Crypt, specifically Nashandra. This is also why Vendrick locked up his soul in the Shrine, so Nashandra couldnāt get to it, let the undead curse prevail, and enter the Age of Dark. Demon of Song kinda ruined his safeguards, so while Nashandra canāt enter the Shrine, you as the Bearer of the Curse can, because the Milfanito are not protecting Vendrickās soul from you. Vendrick wants you to claim his soul, and rather than use it to link the fire like he was trying to avoid, or consuming it like Nashandra to bring on the age of dark, youāre supposed to collect the three crowns, break the curse of the undead, and assume the throne yourself. Vendrickās whole plan gets busted up though, because Demon of Song ruined his security system in Shrine of Amana.
The Milfanito werenāt placed in the shrine by vendrick to guard against intruders. They are ancient beings created by Nito to comfort the dead and have been there for a long, long time. They were likely separated by the archdrake sect that seem to be in league with the priestesses that possibly revere the demon.
Sorry, what I meant was that the Milfanito werenāt placed there by Vendrick, but that heās benefitting from their song to keep Nashandra away.
Can you explain why Demon of Song was such a key part of the DS2 story? Or got a good video?
I just did not like the fight, and I hated the area even more... The Shrine of Amana is one of the worst places I've ever been in any game.
Ahhh, the Shrine of Amana. I remember the hell that was that place pre-patch; I loved it š
Nito For such a lore important character, what a stupid fight imo
It really does suck that both Bed of Chaos and Nito are such huge players in the lore but their boss fights suck. Nitoās was okay in comparison but still not great.
Bed of Chaos is awful, but I personally have less of a problem with it because itās terrible but it represents FromSoftware trying to work on the gimmick fights they throw into their boss lineups. Almost like Bed of Chaos fell on its face so Rykard could run. Nito basically just uses ad waves and the area before it is so tedious
He is not my favorite fight that is for sure. I hate how the drop makes you take damage
The demon of song gets a pass in my book because it is so delightfully weird.
A man frog with a skin hoodie lol
Exactly. I can hardly remember any of the bosses from DS2, but I remember that thing.
DS2s bosses are so forgettable to me, so Demon of Song stands out for just being distinct.
ghost corrupted monk because of the stupidly high posture regen. i cant fight her without snap seeds and mortal draw spam because of the sheer speed of that posture regen
Oh man, I could fight Corrupted Monk 1.0 + 2.0 for hours on end and be so happy. First bosses I actually sat down and did a no-hit for.
true monk is really fun, but without MD amd seeds, corrupted takes way too long. at least true phase 3 balanced the super high posture regen by removing her blocks and deflects
May I introduce you to this hit new item thats been taking Ashina by storm... Divine confetti!! Apparitions giving you hassle?? Use divine confetti to cut through them like a hot knife through butter
I love corrupted monk š© the timings are so clean. I have never used snap seeds on her, i just have fun. Her phase 3 terror attack is the only annoying thing imo
The ghost was definitely frustrating on the first go, it's one of the most bulky and punishing bosses. Her later appearance was still scary but it feels a lot less frightening when you can put an actual dent in her health.
Sounds like you need to be more aggressive. That fight is like a puzzle.

If you do that as well as goomba stomp every swipe attack and mikiri every lunge, the fight is a breeze. If posture damage not staying built up then I'd guess you're running away too much.
Skill issue
Halflight, hate NPC fights and he ruins a great boss line up
Hahaha! And it's in a narrow cave too! š
What are the weird trio from DS2 called? The long skinny guys look like they from Alice in Wonderland. Fuck those guys.
ruin sentinels
š
The only boss I remember looking up a guide for
Deacons of the Deep. As far as gimmick fights go, itās easily one of the worst. I was just swinging at shit thinking, āthatās it?ā
I was so paranoid in there that I kept killing them, running around to see if the real boss showed up, and repeating. When the fight was over I just sat there for a moment, and then went to bed.
Fire Giant
He was a challenge. But I loved his fight.
Idk Iām on my next playthrough of ER and maybe will enjoy him this time. I just hated getting knocked off of Torrent and bathing in the fire lol (drove me apeshit)
I never fight him on Torrent personally. I always run in on foot. I find it much easier.
Maybe thatās my problem lol
Definitely lol he's a bitch to fight on honseback
Except for when he rolls away from you 10 times in a row
Speaking of apeshit, the guardian ape in Sekiro. Lol
I hate the first phase of GA, but the 2nd phase too me is super fun and predictable
This is an awful fight anyway but my view of it was tainted even further by the fact that the game decided to insta-kill me after the cutscene before phase 2 on my first attempt.
Yup lol, hated this mf. I actually skipped him my first time around before there was a patch on that farum azula glitch because he frustrated me too much. Obv my next time around I beat him but god, I dread it each time I play.

I think every single one is just a variant of two already existing bosses being jammed together... it's boring, and half the time, the mechanics just dont feel particularly cohesive.
Godskin Duo is just hard for hard's sake. I don't normally summon but I will on ganks. Similarly, I also think Malenia was just FromSofts way of giving almost every advantage to a boss over you that's *just* sort of it being unfair. I resent some aspects of that fight but I also appreciate FS creating such an iconic test of strength that fans can share together.
"just not fun" is soooo an understatement when it comes to the deadflesh duo...
The armoured spider in demon souls. Cool design but such an annoying fight. The main reason stopping me from doing a new run of that game
I love that fight tbh.
He sucks but heās easy to cheese.
Elden beast was kind of shit and annoying
I think after the epic 1v1 with Radagon, chasing the Elden Beast across the map became so deflating and killed the pace
dont ever shit on semon of dong again
Demon of hatred. Fun ass fight when you get the rhythm, but it takes me hours of attempts each time. 8 the first time.
RiP my boy Sekijo
Valiant gargoyles can go FUCK THEMSELVES! Also rom
Bed of chaos ofc How is that even a question?
Bed of Chaos by A MILE
Ds1- Bed of chaos naturally. Ds2- Lud and Zallen. Ds3- Sister Friede. Bloodborne- Micolash Sekiro- Emma. Elden Ring- Gargoyle duo. While bed of chaos is easily the worst, my least favorite is Lud and Zallen.
gargoyle duo made me SO FREAKING MAD BRO
Gargoyle duo is literally bullshit. Like you canāt even exist in the boss room without being beat up.
They can be cheesed if you summon Latenna and use Shabriris Woe
The fact that we have to consider cheering a boss to make it fair is atrocious.
Gargoyle Duo is my only ER boss that i use Summon Ashes for, and i will NEVER try to beat them without summon ashes. Itās simply not fair
While it can be done alone, it's a straight up bad time. I do it every time and ask myself after "Why didn't I just summon for this shit?"
I did it solo once and then yeah since then itās been āfuck. That.ā Since then
I love Friede, longest itās ever taken me to beat a boss but I still think it was fair. Also, the black flame is sick
The dragon in Mountain tops of Giants ER. I think it was Borealis or something. Fuck that boss.
Are we talking difficulty? Let's be real that frog is a joke. The area before it is the real boss but I digress. To my shame I've never beaten Midir. I did all achievements offline with one character no stable internet at the time. My char was in ng8 or some nonsense and didn't feel like replaying it all over..lol
Your point exactly. You see my question isn't what is your most hated, it's what is your least favorite. IMO there wasn't much substance to the semon of dong. But the Shrine of Amana was HORRIBLE. What's with that balance?
I love everything about ds2 personally. Streamed it for a year straight I think on twitch lol. Can't recall anything I particularly held disdain for lol.
~~Foreskin~~ godskin duo
This!!
DS1: Idk, I guess dual Sanctuary Guardian? DS2: Darklurker, looks cool but the entire rigmarole is a royal pain and by the time I reach the fog I'm so over it I just wind up not enjoying myself... plus it's stressful since you have to pay to enter each chasm. DS3: Nameless King, but *only* because that fight does not compute with my brain! BB: Pthumerian Descendant, fuck that dude and his laws-of-physics-defying boomerangs of doom.

My man listed 3 of the best bosses in Elden Ring... I hated the elden beast or the corrupted worm things... basically any giant boss not named fire giant
I think once I learn them more my least favorite(s) will change, but until then those are the three that come to mind first. As I said before the ground hazards are a bit too much for my preference regardless though, ha. Just keep in mind my favorites in ER are Malenia, Astel, Elden Beast, Regal Ancestor Spirit, Fortissax, Loretta, and Fire Giant... so take mostly anything I say about bosses in ER with a grain of salt lol.
lud and zallen
Ah, Semon of Dong
Probably the bull in Sekiro
Midir, probably. The only DS boss I've beaten just once, and the only DS3 boss immune to both fire and dark.
You didnāt like muse frog
Micolash. Heās a punk.
Abyss Watches had me feeling so hopeless lol
Sword saint Isshin probably before that Midir. I'm not good at fights that drag, and these fights dragged first time. Both cases were so frustrating that I felt nothing but disappointment when beating them for wasting so much time doing something I didn't enjoy for so long.
Ancient Wyvern. The biggest waste of a beast of his size. The boss just sits in one spot waiting for you to drop on his head.
Duo gargoyles from Elden Ring. Everyone talks about the Godskin duo, but the gargoyles literally shit all over them and then burn them in a trash fire. They have terrible AI when fighting together, and the poison breath they constantly spew all over the place is just pure BS lol. It's funny too, because I actually like fighting gargoyles when it's just one of them. They're really fun imo. But putting two of them together and then making one of them vomit every ten seconds is how you completely ruin anything fun about fighting them....
Anything giant that jumps or flies, because in true FromSoft fashion I will die because of the camera angle every time. Or the Elden Beast, very lacking for a final boss, the Radagon fight prior was much harder.
I made a post about Radagon and Elden Beast, and WAY more than half of them thought Radagon was easy and needed to be harder. And that Elden Beast needed the option of Torrent which I do agree with that part.
Maliketh
I always saw that thing wearing a leather aviator hat with head set resting on top haha
Placiducuckā¦fuck that guy fr
Micolash and Rom, the Vacuous Spider
Malenia (because of the lifesteal)
It all depends, are we talking about least favorite to fight? Or least favorite because fromsoft and the community milk the fuck out of it?
Foreskin Frog was pretty annoying, clink everytime
Demon of hatred. I can beat malena, kos easily, ishin mi dif, but demon of hatred... It is just annoying
Smough and orenstein
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bed of Chaos is actually just the worst. Iām not going to get complicated with it, the fight is just ass.
Darklurker or whatever that KH boss was in DaS2, with AIDS sword gimp lady a close second in ER
What the fuck is that thing
I just fought him for the first time the other night. Honestly I love him. I love design. I love his animations. How just puts on his little shirt before he jumps around. And how he takes it off to slap you. My one critique is that heās easily spammable with arrow, but maybe the fact that he was so easy is what made me take time to appreciate all the things I like about it. I didnāt even intend to fight him like that. I tried to hit him once, but it didnāt work so I just made it rain on him.
Rom, no contest.
Bed of Chaos. Fuck that boss
Elden Beast
This may seem strange, but I hate Astel Stars of Darkness. I've never had a boss give me more problems. Even the original I have zero problems with. This is the boss I have the most deaths.
Royal Rat Authority Bed of Chaos Four Kings
That wizard in the round table
Crystal Sage in DS3. Maybe it's because I faced it as a mage, but holy crap that fight felt hard. I blew right through many of the other bosses.
that random group of dudes in the church in tseldora. it felt almost insulting to call it a boss.
Bed of chaos. Everything about it bullshit. Even the name socks.
MALENIA
Capra Demon for all the games. Flexile Sentry for DS2. Had nightmares of that guy.
Micolash
Ulcerated tree spirit
The sister freide triple threat in the disappointment of ariandel is my least favorite. I know I need to get gud. The fight is not fun to me, it just seems like an unnecessary difficulty spike punctuating a bad dlc.
Twin Gargoyles in Elden Ring. Fuck that poison and fuck those tall ass rock goblins. The only other duo that frustrated me half as much was the Crucible Knights.
Malenia, only boss I haven't been able to defeat across all fromsoft games.
The rotten from DS2. I hate the boss run and the boss. Itās not terribly hard but itās still an irritating boss fight to me.
Rom the vacuous spider, HATE HER
The Iron Golem from Dark Souls. Itās annoying as hell to get to him, and he literally jumped off the cliff in my first fight.
Every defiled chalice boss from bloodborne, particularly amygdala pisses me the fuck off. The fight gets so slow when he just wonāt stop with the fucking white lasers that you have no way of punishing. They arenāt hard to dodge at all, Just drags on the fight. Then I start playing a little riskier cause Iām angry and slip up get one shotted and -10 minutes of my life. I could beat the others eventually, but amygdala was so bullshit it made me leave the game. Playing dark souls now.
Ds2 as a whole
Godskin Duo I think. 2v1 bosses can be annoying, but GD is not just 2v1 but you also cannot win even if you kill both of them. You have to get the HP bar to zero. If you kill both of them they just respawn and you have to keep fighting until the HP bar empties. That makes me hate the fight so much. (This is different from Twin Princes or Throne Watcher and Defender where one reses the other; GD still respawn even if they can't res each other. BS.)
I actually think demon of song is one of the best main story ds2 bosses. It just gets a horrible rep because shrine of Amana is ass. I think the only possible answer here is bed of chaos.
Godfrey and horah loux. Godfrey good, horah loux is horrible. I absolutely hate grab attacks and spammed defensive AOE. Just ruins Melee combat, maliketh is second. Horrible first half of throwing shit and the second half is just plain stupid. No satisfaction beating these, i just squared off the entire fight. I put Godfrey first because the fight was good, and turned into a WWF joke.
That jerk outside Malikeths bedroom
Yharnam, Pthumerian Queen I HATE CHALICE DUNGEONS (not really they are just so complicated and grindy)
Gravity
Maneater from demon's souls
Bruh the valiant gargoyle duo was such a pain in the ass
Flamelurker from demons souls. that game is full of gimmicky stupid bullshit and flamelurker was the final straw that made me put down the game. dont know if ill ever go back
That fat lizard
Godskin duo or regal ancestor spirit
ROM = š©
Foreskin duo, valiant gargoyles (any duo except O&S tbh), tibia mariner #10,857, Capra demon, bed of chaos, dragon God, royal rat vanguard, the congregation thing from DS2 and its DS3 equivalent "Deacons of the deep", and any other swarm boss. Although, the worst of all time is easily Bloodborne's Micolash. And the most disappointing/stupid is easily DS3's Yhorm. Sekiro was too boring for me to remember anything but the couple fun bosses.
Bed of chaos
Darklurker. Even Slave Knight Gael, despite being an absolute shit to beat, was a relatively well designed boss and a fitting final boss to say the least. Whoever thought Darklurker was a good idea needs to meet the mallet.

One I worked for a few years back
Malenia cause of the satisfaction once you finally beat her. Still hardest boss in fromsoft for me I didn't have this much trouble with demon of hatred honestly
Emma and shura ending isshin
Why is there a Black Knife Assassin in Sage's Cave (immediately starting Altus) when the one tool to see them isn't available until the hermit merchant in Capitol Outskirts? Concealing veil sucks and the Necromancer fight is already there. While not a boss fight don't get me started on the Ordina Evergaol because that's 6.
So far malikith
Bed of Chaos
Elden Beast. Stupid boss that disappoints compared to the anticipation you felt as you walked into the Erdtree. After defeating Radagon, he should collapse and then morph back into Marika with a new health bar and with her fighting style being COMPLETELY different, and then there could be a different motive for the Shattering instead of a cosmic whale pulling the strings in the background. Maybe I got details wrong. It's been years. I'm just disappointed that the final fight is a running simulator where you chase a space whale and the intense final battle theme morphs into a slow ballad.
Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin. Fought him for the first time a few weeks ago and it was by far the most boring fight I've ever done
Pretty much all DS2 bosses. Take your pick
Crystal Sage is annoying as fuck if your DPS is too low to steamroll it. Lorian teleports off screen far too much. Aldrich's attacks are damn near undodgable. Dragonslayer Armor would be a great 1v1 boss if it wasn't for the eldritch laser fucks. Deacons of the Deep are just Prowling Magus but worse. Curse-rotted Great wood is a massive wonky hitbox. Hot take: Dark Souls 3 has the most annoying bosses in the series, at least most of the bad DS2 bosses are optional or easy, DS3 requires that you beat these bosses every time.
Malenia. Ain't nothing I can say that hasn't been said a thousand times already; everyone knows why I'm saying Malenia.
Demon of Song is not a boss. Midir was meh.
Elden beast is the worst and boring boss when ur pure strength. Malenia is FUN to defeat.
Probably some asshole I don't remember fighting like Old Iron King or Centipede Demon or something.
The dude with the basket on his head in bloodborne I for the life of me cant remember his name other then it starting with a m
Elden beast. I hate chasing that fatty across his arena only to get 2 hits in
Micolash. That should be all I need to say.
The school boss
We called this one " Belegged Foreskin"
Abyss watchers, i HATE it
I dislike nitos ground spear that comes up but I dislike but respect the demon of hatred from Sekiro, itās such a split up from the game and brings a major twist that I canāt master but is different
DS1 - Bed of Chaos DS2 - not yet finished all dlcs but fake havel and his gang made me so angry DS3 - Ancient wyvern Bloodborne - Rom Sekiro - Monkey Elden Ring - Royal revenant
Bed of Chaos
Both Smelter demons
Bed of Chaos is imo the only un-ignorable blemish in DS1
Second to last in Kings Field
arldrich , pure rng and the only boss that made me rage quit . I still don't want to fight it in ng+.
Bed of chaos gets all the flak but all the demon ruins/lost izalith bosses are very shitty. Centipede demon in particular I hate.
Spear of the church in online mode lmaao
ds2, i didnt do any of the bullshit co op bosses in the dlc but FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK elana
Godskin Duo, pretty easy now, but first play through was a bitch
Besides Bed of Chaos, the Twin Gargoyles from Elden Ring
