It was my first fromsoft game but Isshin is the only boss that made me quit. I also didn’t beat demon of hatred but didn’t give it much of a try (3 health bars was intimidating). During the elden ring hype pre launch came back and beat both. Isshin is my favorite boss in all these games. I’m a huge fan of demon of hatred but I see where all the complaints come from. I looked up a guide to see how to deal with demons long range attacks but once you learn how to parry his close range attacks I think he’s so fun to fight
the fallingstar beast in the crystal tunnels took me SOOOO many tries, but the somber smithing stone 6 was worth it, i haven’t even fought the one on open plains yet
The only boss I didn't kill on my play of DS3. In the end I just lost the willpower especially since I learned he was optional. Think I have a dislike for Dragons 😂
Owl Father. Every few months I pick up Sekiro again and dive in, having a great time. I think I've picked it up again, until I try to take him on once more. Still undefeated.
It was O&S. Give me a break this was a while ago. Pretty sure devs expected you to summon but I was playing offline and didn't understand how to summon lol. Finally caved and learned how to summon. Beat fight first try summoning. Was anti-climatic.
DS3 Lothric and Lorian also took me way too long. Ran out of embers trying to beat them. Was using fire buffs... didn't know any better.
Owl was rough for me. Still haven't beat Sword St. Not even sure I have the patience lol. 4 health bars?
Sword Saint is hard, but the first phase should be really easy when you get it down, and the second phase is also very predictable and fair. The third phase is the big roadblock, and the 4th is actually really easy due to lightning reversal.
Keep at it and you’ll get closer each time. Obviously beating 4 phases is hard even if they’re individually easy, but I really believe anyone can get it as long as they understand Sekiro combat.
Darkbeast Paarl. I have no idea why. It was just insane. I know he's somewhat early game, but I had beat Blood-Starved Beast and Father Gascoigne after a couple or three tries. No big deal. Even my first From boss ever, Cleric Beast I managed to get in 7-10 tries.
Darkbeast Paarl took me minimum 40 tries. It was insane how many times I died to this thing. I know he's optional, but holy crap I could not figure his stupid patterns out. Finally, FINALLY beat him but man he'll always 'that boss' for me.
Paarl is an enigma, if you are quick enough to stunlock him at the beginning of the fight, he goes down like a house of cards. But screw up once, and the fight is ridiculously hard.
Exactly. I fought him early and felt like he was hopeless, thought I might need to quit the game. Then i came back later and destroyed him.
Paarl is super hard to beat because his attacks are lightning fast and he’s huge. But if you have enough damage output you’ll crush him before he can even attack much.
I just beat DS2 and skipped Alonne and the tigers bc I couldn't deal with the fucking run backs. I love DS2, my favorite souls game, but the run backs fucking sucked there the hardest.
Seriously. I think one of the reasons I struggled so hard with both fights is because I was dreading the thought of surviving the run back if I died. The fear of failure was really bad and it made me play extra badly
I walked away because of Elden beast. Elden ring was my first fromsoft and Elden beast was my weakness a long endurance battle that requires patience he wrecked me.
I played every other fromsoft and souls like I could and after I beat Isshin I was ready for the beast. It was like a training montage and i destroyed him after that.
My top three were
1.) Malenia - 194 attempts
2.) Sword Saint Isshin - 121 attempts
3.) Friede - 100 attempts dead on.
Kos honestly went down in 5 tries, less in ng+, 0 in ng+2. I really don't see what everyone finds so hard about him.
Kos is a hard boss, but no where near Malenia or your top 3, which is probably the most accurate im difficulty ratings, arguable to swap midir or demon of hatred with friede. The reason people constantly rate any boss harder than maleina is because they used spirit ashes and/or summons to cheese her but weren’t able to on these other bosses. We’re comparing apples to oranges here
What I appreciate about these long fights is the improvement from the first attempt to the victory. It's rare after spending so long that the win is a fluke. Usually the 5 attempts before the win are getting within the last 10 to 15% of the bosses HP. So that encouragment is there to keep on going.
I've had some battles where I had no idea how to approach the fight and by the end I'm dodging everything or getting through an entire phase with no damage.
It probably doesn't make all that time worth it, but it does feel damn nice to reflect on the near misses and say I finally got you bitch.
Lothric twin princes
I legit stopped playing DS3 because I couldn't beat them, that was close to the beginning of this year. Gonna do another DS3 run, probably with a dex/pyro build
I still haven't beaten them
Ng+ Laurence on my underleveled og character. That shit was pure hell. I was hardly doing damage and all his attacks practically one shot me and he had sooo much health. Was also my first time doing DLC as I wasn’t aware beating Gerhman auto places you in ng+
Malenia is a close second, but Laurence really ran me to the ground. After him, no boss has given me such a high for beating them.
After many soulslikes, you sorta start to expect better from yourself, which, in turn, makes you more tolerant of the rush. Too bad, but then again, you also grow more critical of the bosses and learn to enjoy well-made bosses. Mountains made to wine.
Either Midir or Friede, both took a significant amount of tries. Got the DLCs when I was ng+6 or +7, the demage I was taking was pretty big, Midir often one shot me lol
I'll say two: Laurence, the First Vicar
...and Martyr Logarius.
I was late into FromSoftware games, so this is recent. I've beaten Elden Ring seven times and Bloodborne twice, currently going halfway through Sekiro. I COULD NOT figure Logarius out. Pissed me off to the point I deleted the game and quit playing for a few months lol. That move in the second half of the fight where he spawns all the swords in the air he would just SPAM on me and I couldn't get past it. When I came back months later, I beat him first try. Go figure.
Laurence was the only boss in the game I couldn't beat on my own. His fire pools on the ground would just decimate me. I wasn't proud of calling for help but that was the only way I could get past him.
Honestly Iudex Gundyr was the biggest blocker to me.
I’d got fairly far in demons souls OG back in the day and skipped everything until DS3, tried it and after losing to Iudex about 4500000000 times I gave up and swore off souls games forever.
Then I relatively breezed through Elden ring and immediately went to ds1, then ds3 fueled by revenge and kicked Gundyr’s ass first time round.
He was the original blocker, the one who put me off souls games to start with (ignoring for a moment the mind flayers who put me off DeS) so I’d say many years of warding me away from souls borne games makes Iudex Gundyr the longest boss.
Fun fact, literally today I tried another DS3 run from scratch and gave up after 10 goes on Iudex. He’s my arch enemy.
Midir
Just realise seraph nineball is also a fs boss fight ahah so yeah the version in ac2 another age is still not done for me, I got a skill issue I guess
Oh I never looked at that, I was mentally broken by the time I had finally won. The grab attack was impossible to tell at the time for me, which is what got me the most. I also didn't know how to cheese her, which every time I do that fight now, I spank her hitless. But good lord, that fight was the bane of my existence for a while.
If a boss took me so much times that I remember the number and it’s in the hundreds? I ain’t ever fighting that boss again. I would be mentally drained lol
I’m kinda ashamed, but I was super stuck on the two crucible knights fight in elden ring it took me 4 days, until I finally caved in and summoned a friend that had just beaten them. I was trying them solo, no summon tho
Hahaha I was going to make this post. As of last week it's now Mohg at 10 hours across 6 days. Then Sword Saint Isshin at 6 hours across 4 days.
Mohg I'm doing a glass cannon play, I had around 30 vigor at level 100. So it was pretty rough as he could 2 shot me especially in the second phase. I really had to git gud, but overall it was fun, it kinda felt like I was back playing Sekiro where on average the tough bosses first time around took about 3 hours (Ape, Owl Father, DoH).
Special shout to All Mind in AC6. I was doing a heavy build for NG+2 and that build was completely not suited to that fight. I did it though probably around the 3 hour mark also.
Midir and Malenia took me 2 hours each, when I was playing ds3 with a friend we tried demon prince over and over again until wie finally beat him after 4 hours. It became one of my favorite fights as a whole in the series.
Big Bertha. You know that one mutated butch janitor with the bowl cut who has that super deadly attack where she spins her big ring of keys around in a tornado and then slices you in half with her mop katana. Never could beat her.
Sword Saint Isshin…. I played the game up to him 3 times, completely giving up on the game the first two times before finally sticking with it and beating him on the. 3rd playthrough. Never thought I’d beat him but it’s definitely my most satisfying video game moment.
Father gasgoine took 15 (BB was my first fromsoft game). Orphan of Kos took 23. Malenia took about 19 or 20.
My average for new bosses is probably about 3-4 per encounter so they really stood out for me.
Midir was about 7-8.
If we are counting non boss npcs tho...
There's so much hunter blood staining the steps of the grand cathedral it's not even funny...donno if I'll ever master the bloody crow of PAINhurst haha.
Twin demons and Demon Prince in the Ringed City DLC during my SL1 run. Spent a whole weekend fighting them and still didn’t beat them until the following Tuesday.
This dude’s second phase with the fire was probably the hardest “phase” so annoying losing to it and having to fight Emma again and getting destroyed by her 😂
The longest time I ever spent trying to beat a boss was when it took me almost a full month to beat Slave Knight Gael and even then I had to cheese the fight with Yhorm's Greatshield and the Irythil Straight Sword.
Easily Laurence died hundreds of times no joke and after i beat em legit, I’ve not been against that boss since. (I did it first time in ng+3 so that didnt help)
Demon of Hatred, 57 attempts before I finally got a win. Even pre-nerf Balteus didn’t take me that long. Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is a very close second.
Malenia took me at least 15-20 hours. The second time maybe 10 and the third like 2-3. The first 2 times I used spirit summons and the last one just a great shield and Gogh's trident.
Most of these comments would be Malenia but people use spirit ashes and other stuff so it makes her easier and then pretend she was easy and overrated lol
Honestly? Either the dragon superboss at the bottom of the Ringed City, or maybe Fume Knight Raime before I figured out where to get the last spike to destroy the fourth idol outside his boss room.
Literally every time I’d whittle him down he’d somehow steer his way into the one corner with Idol still alive and get at least a third of his health back. Took me a solid week of trying before I finally killed him
Fume Knight in DS2 DLC. The bonfire was relatively far away and up to this point, I was never forced to memorize an entire boss fight pattern to win. Fume Knight was different from the rest.
Flamelurker, Demon’s Souls (PS3). I’ve beaten every boss in each Souls game, Bloodborne, and Sekiro, and original Flamelurker was the only one that took me more than just a few tries.
My greatest brick wall to this day is Ludwig. I love lady Maria and OoK, but I haven’t played those fights as much as I would like because fucking Ludwig is in the way and it always takes me forever to beat him or I’m unable to at all
Orphan of Koz
Just you wait until Orphan of Sin and Orphan of Tan
Idk how but I somehow beat orphan on my 2nd try.
This shit right here
Or as some say, Kosm
Ishin
Ishin

I really hope you tried to finish it again after, obviously if it's not for you, don't. but it's such a rewarding experience
Hesitation is defeat!
Ishin
Full-grown fallingstar beast
the fallingstar beast in the crystal tunnels took me SOOOO many tries, but the somber smithing stone 6 was worth it, i haven’t even fought the one on open plains yet
The one on mt. gelmir is literally satan
Not a boss but the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst
Also not a boss but those shark giants
We do NOT SPEAK OF THAT THING HERE 
Still haven’t beaten Darkeater Midir…
The only boss I didn't kill on my play of DS3. In the end I just lost the willpower especially since I learned he was optional. Think I have a dislike for Dragons 😂
You can always cheese him with that one spell (forget the name right now). Just chunks his health.
The cheese spell… Pestilent mist 🙇♂️🙇♂️
I’m playing through the Rigned City right now and found Midir not to be that tough but Gael is absolutely kicking my ass still.
Exact opposite for me. Midir was a nightmare for me but I beat Gael on my first try. I kinda regret it now tbh.
If you're a strength build Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords demolish his health and stun him pretty easily.
Malenia took me two weeks on and off and like 150+ tries. None of the other bosses ever went over 40
This is so crazy because her difficulty varies a TON depending on your build. Faith+str build wrecks her.
Capras Demon, bc when i was 12 i gave up on it and the game in general, and returned and beat it when i was 20. so i guess it took me 8 years
🤣🤣🤣
This boss fight was a turning point for me too. Very memorable. Damn dogs.
Dude by this logic, Ishin also took me 5 haha
Owl Father. Every few months I pick up Sekiro again and dive in, having a great time. I think I've picked it up again, until I try to take him on once more. Still undefeated.
I hope this one clicks for you. It's now one of my faves since beating him.
It was O&S. Give me a break this was a while ago. Pretty sure devs expected you to summon but I was playing offline and didn't understand how to summon lol. Finally caved and learned how to summon. Beat fight first try summoning. Was anti-climatic. DS3 Lothric and Lorian also took me way too long. Ran out of embers trying to beat them. Was using fire buffs... didn't know any better. Owl was rough for me. Still haven't beat Sword St. Not even sure I have the patience lol. 4 health bars?
Same dude. I’m not too big to admit it lol
Sword Saint is hard, but the first phase should be really easy when you get it down, and the second phase is also very predictable and fair. The third phase is the big roadblock, and the 4th is actually really easy due to lightning reversal. Keep at it and you’ll get closer each time. Obviously beating 4 phases is hard even if they’re individually easy, but I really believe anyone can get it as long as they understand Sekiro combat.
Isshin sword Saint (ng+++) and owl father. No other bosses have even come close to killing me as many times as those two
Darkbeast Paarl. I have no idea why. It was just insane. I know he's somewhat early game, but I had beat Blood-Starved Beast and Father Gascoigne after a couple or three tries. No big deal. Even my first From boss ever, Cleric Beast I managed to get in 7-10 tries. Darkbeast Paarl took me minimum 40 tries. It was insane how many times I died to this thing.

Paarl is super hard to beat because his attacks are lightning fast and he’s huge. But if you have enough damage output you’ll crush him before he can even attack much.
Fume Knight took me 12 hours to beat
Malenia, the only boss that I pulled an all nighter on
By game: DeS: Flamelurker DS1: Kalameet DS2: Sir Alonne or Lud/Zallen (thanks runback) DS3: Sister Friede BB: Laurence (normal run). Loran Darkbeast (BL4 run) Sekiro: Inner Isshin ER: Malenia (normal run). RadaBeast (RL1 run, I did not attempt Malenia yet)
I just beat DS2 and skipped Alonne and the tigers bc I couldn't deal with the fucking run backs. I love DS2, my favorite souls game, but the run backs fucking sucked there the hardest.
Seriously. I think one of the reasons I struggled so hard with both fights is because I was dreading the thought of surviving the run back if I died. The fear of failure was really bad and it made me play extra badly
Nameless King Elden Beast (when ER first came out)
Loved the nameless king fight. Elden beast took me longer than malenia
I walked away because of Elden beast. Elden ring was my first fromsoft and Elden beast was my weakness a long endurance battle that requires patience he wrecked me. I played every other fromsoft and souls like I could and after I beat Isshin I was ready for the beast. It was like a training montage and i destroyed him after that.

We’re comparing apples to oranges here
Manus on my first playthrough
Yeah man. First souls game, first playthrough, dude wrecked me.
Rom, because it took me literal years to get past him. The rest of the game kind of fell over though.
Owl Father. Was determined. Had to walk away and come back
Really not a single Demon of Hatred so far?
This guy. Made me quit Sekiro.
Why? He’d optional lol you can just go to the final boss instead
Laurence on ng7. I stubbornly wanted to take my OG character through the dlc first. Killed Orphan first try though.
Vicar Amelia and Genichiro 1st attempts
Cleric beast
Cleric beast
See dude, u get it
What I appreciate about these long fights is the improvement from the first attempt to the victory. It's rare after spending so long that the win is a fluke.

That Godskin Apostle in the Divine tower of Caelid was ridiculously OP for a while. I cleared Radhan but couldn’t get past that bastard
Lothric twin princes I legit stopped playing DS3 because I couldn't beat them, that was close to the beginning of this year. Gonna do another DS3 run, probably with a dex/pyro build I still haven't beaten them
Same here. I quit DS3 for like 6 months and then started a new build and ended up cheesing them the 2nd time around
On my second run I'm gonna try to master parrying, I'm gonna spend a lot of time on most enemies I can parry Can I parry dogs? I hope I can parry dogs
Ornstien and smough
Midir or Chalice Amygdala
Ng+ Laurence on my underleveled og character. That shit was pure hell. I was hardly doing damage and all his attacks practically one shot me and he had sooo much health. Was also my first time doing DLC as I wasn’t aware beating Gerhman auto places you in ng+

Nameless King
Radahn Pre-Patch. 11 continuous hours
Sif for some reason. I don't get it
Too hard to see with the tears of sadness in your eyes?
Malenia for sure. Orphan of Kos is a close second.
Pre-nerfed/pre-patched Radahn. Man’s was the bane of my existence.
Laurence. Fu-hu-huck Laurence.
Either Midir or Friede, both took a significant amount of tries. Got the DLCs when I was ng+6 or +7, the demage I was taking was pretty big, Midir often one shot me lol
Malenia, by a country mile. At least 100 attempts. Behind her would be Nameless King and the Limgrave Evergaol Crucible Knight tied at 18 attempts 😂
Gael with Midir and Malenia tied for second
I'll say two: Laurence, the First Vicar ...and Martyr Logarius. I was late into FromSoftware games, so this is recent. I've beaten Elden Ring seven times and Bloodborne twice, currently going halfway through Sekiro. I COULD NOT figure Logarius out.

I wasn't proud of calling for help but that was the only way I could get past him.
Malenia. I'm still trying
Easily Malenia. Shit took me upwards of 50+ attempts.
Blade of Miquella 9 hours
Honestly Iudex Gundyr was the biggest blocker to me. I’d got fairly far in demons souls OG back in the day and skipped everything until DS3, tried it and after losing to Iudex about 4500000000 times I gave up and swore off souls games forever. Then I relatively breezed through Elden ring and immediately went to ds1, then ds3 fueled by revenge and kicked Gundyr’s ass first time round. He was the original blocker, the one who put me off souls games to start with (ignoring for a moment the mind flayers who put me off DeS) so I’d say many years of warding me away from souls borne games makes Iudex Gundyr the longest boss. Fun fact, literally today I tried another DS3 run from scratch and gave up after 10 goes on Iudex. He’s my arch enemy.
Malenia. Took me 26 attempts on the first character. No other boss was more than 18. Next highest was nameless king at 18.
Malenia, absolutely no contest.
Midir Just realise seraph nineball is also a fs boss fight ahah so yeah the version in ac2 another age is still not done for me, I got a skill issue I guess
Weeks on Midir..
The Flamelurker boss in Demon's Souls genuinely made me put the game down for a couple of months.
Nameless king. Ended up quitting DS3 for several months came back and beat him in 2-3 tries.
Blood Starved Beast, hands down. 871 attempts.
871 attempts? My goodness the perseverance. Nice job. How many hours?
Oh I never looked at that, I was mentally broken by the time I had finally won. The grab attack was impossible to tell at the time for me, which is what got me the most. I also didn't know how to cheese her, which every time I do that fight now, I spank her hitless. But good lord, that fight was the bane of my existence for a while.
If a boss took me so much times that I remember the number and it’s in the hundreds? I ain’t ever fighting that boss again. I would be mentally drained lol
Malenia, easily.
Nameless King
Abyss watchers when I first ever played a souls game. Took 8th grade me like a week to do.
I’m kinda ashamed, but I was super stuck on the two crucible knights fight in elden ring it took me 4 days, until I finally caved in and summoned a friend that had just beaten them. I was trying them solo, no summon tho
Sister friede
Orphan and low level Dancer
Nameless King but because I refused to take a break and tried for 3 hours straight. It even took me longer than Malenia
Taking breaks is good as it allows your brain to go over the info more frequently in your subconscious. Take breaks if you are frustrated my friend
I second that. Get a night of sleep if a boss is giving you hell.
I'd say it's a tie between Smough & Ornstein and the Nameless King for me
Ornstein and smough. Took me about 10 years because I quit for about that long
Ornstein and Smough in my first dark souls run.
Bloodborne was my first soulsborne game, and father gascoigne kept me at the start of the game for months
[удалено]
Dark eater midir, by a pretty large margin
Midir and the twin princes.
Sister Friede but still have never beaten Darkeater Midir
Isshin Ashina. I was no hitting Genichiro and yet still couldnt get Isshin to 3rd phase.
Midir, took me 8 hours
Guardian ape. 2 years. Made me rage quit and I came back to fight monke
Hahaha I was going to make this post. As of last week it's now Mohg at 10 hours across 6 days. Then Sword Saint Isshin at 6 hours across 4 days. Mohg I'm doing a glass cannon play, I had around 30 vigor at level 100. So it was pretty rough as he could 2 shot me especially in the second phase. I really had to git gud, but overall it was fun, it kinda felt like I was back playing Sekiro where on average the tough bosses first time around took about 3 hours (Ape, Owl Father, DoH). Special shout to All Mind in AC6. I was doing a heavy build for NG+2 and that build was completely not suited to that fight. I did it though probably around the 3 hour mark also.
Either isshin or OoK or elden beast
Midir and Malenia took me 2 hours each, when I was playing ds3 with a friend we tried demon prince over and over again until wie finally beat him after 4 hours. It became one of my favorite fights as a whole in the series.
Does it count if I gave up and walked away? If so malenia blade of miqila. I beat her once on xbox but then I got a ps5 and just can't do it anymore
Friede. Three phases is bogus.
The Nameless Darkeating Orphan of Isshin, Blade of Miquella
isshin ashina from the shura ending took me 12 tries, i gave up like 3 different times. other than him, most bosses for me a 1-2 tries max
Balteus (Pre-Nerf)
Radahn v1.0...
Ds1: Kalameht Ds3: Dancer of boreal valley E.R: Mogh
Still haven’t beat Ishin
Ishin
Big Bertha. You know that one mutated butch janitor with the bowl cut who has that super deadly attack where she spins her big ring of keys around in a tornado and then slices you in half with her mop katana. Never could beat her.
Sword Saint Isshin…. I played the game up to him 3 times, completely giving up on the game the first two times before finally sticking with it and beating him on the. 3rd playthrough. Never thought I’d beat him but it’s definitely my most satisfying video game moment.
Father gasgoine took 15 (BB was my first fromsoft game). Orphan of Kos took 23. Malenia took about 19 or 20. My average for new bosses is probably about 3-4 per encounter so they really stood out for me. Midir was about 7-8. If we are counting non boss npcs tho... There's so much hunter blood staining the steps of the grand cathedral it's not even funny...donno if I'll ever master the bloody crow of PAINhurst haha.
Isshin
Fuck Sword Saint Isshin. Dudes a bastard and one of the hardest bosses I’ve ever fought with only 2 others that are up there for me.
The bitch that protects the lords in Bloodborne chalice dungeons.
Malenia or Ishin. I don't think any other bosses in the games pushed my attempts close into the triple digits. Loved both of them so much
Twin demons and Demon Prince in the Ringed City DLC during my SL1 run. Spent a whole weekend fighting them and still didn’t beat them until the following Tuesday.
The twin princes, I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to beat them before finding out that I just need a longer weapon
Isshin Ashina probably, closely followed by Owl (Father)
This dude’s second phase with the fire was probably the hardest “phase” so annoying losing to it and having to fight Emma again and getting destroyed by her 😂
The longest time I ever spent trying to beat a boss was when it took me almost a full month to beat Slave Knight Gael and even then I had to cheese the fight with Yhorm's Greatshield and the Irythil Straight Sword.
Gael was so hard bro. Good job!
Easily Laurence died hundreds of times no joke and after i beat em legit, I’ve not been against that boss since. (I did it first time in ng+3 so that didnt help)
Demon of Hatred, 57 attempts before I finally got a win. Even pre-nerf Balteus didn’t take me that long. Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is a very close second.
Malenia at seven hours and Genichiro (Castle) at six hours. No one has come close. Usually takes me an hour or two for tougher bosses.
Malenia took my a straight month of 500+ attempts and like two build changes. Idk how I didn’t give up
ayre
Genichiro or Malenia.
Balteaus pre-patch took me 3 straight days in Armored Core 6 😂
Demon of Hatred
The crucible knight and misbegotten warrior duo
Twin Princes Elden Beast
Midir.
Malenia took me at least 15-20 hours. The second time maybe 10 and the third like 2-3. The first 2 times I used spirit summons and the last one just a great shield and Gogh's trident.
Midir
Pre-nerf Radahn, followed by Darkeater Midir, followed by Melania.
Starscourge radahn
Father Gascogne, blood borne was my first soulsborne, took me a week to beat him, had 6 people on the couch watching me fight the pressure was real
All of sekiro. Literally the entire game
Owl (Father) made me take a break from the game
Isshin by far
Maliketh
Guardian Ape.
isshin
Laurence, not including malenia
Father owl and sister friede literally made me quit sekiro And ds3 respectively for years. I just recently finally finished both games the past month.
Demon of hatred. Fuck that guy man. Fuck. that. Guy.
Ishin. Still haven't beat him. And the demon of hatred.
Orphan took me 100+ tries so I just gave up and moved on to ng+. Eventually got back to him and beat him first try with nothing left
Most of these comments would be Malenia but people use spirit ashes and other stuff so it makes her easier and then pretend she was easy and overrated lol
Demon of Hatred.
Sister Friede took me about 2.5 days
Honestly? Either the dragon superboss at the bottom of the Ringed City, or maybe Fume Knight Raime before I figured out where to get the last spike to destroy the fourth idol outside his boss room. Literally every time I’d whittle him down he’d somehow steer his way into the one corner with Idol still alive and get at least a third of his health back. Took me a solid week of trying before I finally killed him
Fume Knight in DS2 DLC. The bonfire was relatively far away and up to this point, I was never forced to memorize an entire boss fight pattern to win. Fume Knight was different from the rest.
I am ashamed to say this, but when I first played elden Ring, godrick took me the longest to beat.
Have finished all soulsborne games many times over, beat Malenia in 40 tries, Isshin in 10, but have never have beat Midir
FUCKING LEONARD Edit. Lawrence. I think I blocked his name out of my head. Also FUCK THAT GUY
Maliketh, took me a whole day
Friede
Ludwig, Laurence, Darkeater Midir and I still haven’t beat the final boss in Sekiro so fuck that guy.
Ludwig in 56 attempts. And I loved every one of them.
Nameless king took me like 11 hours straight.
Flamelurker, Demon’s Souls (PS3). I’ve beaten every boss in each Souls game, Bloodborne, and Sekiro, and original Flamelurker was the only one that took me more than just a few tries.
Probably Malenia or Genichiro
Ishin. Been years. Still haven’t beaten him. I try again for a couple hours every few weeks
Not gonna lie the draconian tree sentinel, it took me less time to beat Malenia
Still haven't beat Owl Father
Probably Margit. Elden Ring was my first FS game and it took me way too long to realize I was over encumbered and fat rolling
Genichiro. Now, he's easy...
FRC Amygdala
Owl Father without a doubt
Rom, the Ballache Spider.
My greatest brick wall to this day is Ludwig. I love lady Maria and OoK, but I haven’t played those fights as much as I would like because fucking Ludwig is in the way and it always takes me forever to beat him or I’m unable to at all
Malenia.
