Really struggled with midir at first, coming from elden ring as my first soulsborne game i was hard coded into fighting dragons in a certain way . When i stopped locking my camera on his head it actually became a lot easier since i gained a better view of him and therefore could predict moves easier. But even with what i saw as a really hard boss, it was a super fun fight and felt really rewarding to beat. A great boss in my opinion.
@@m00nbutter7 I always stayed infront of him, never behind or below him. Problem is when you lock on and he starts swinging that phat head it really fucked my positioning and perception of the boss and arena.
Mine would be(also excluding Sekiro): 10. Gael 9. Morgott 8. Maliketh 7. Orphan of Kos 6. Midir 5. Mohg 4. Malenia 3. Ludwig 2. Radahn 1. Godfrey/Hoarah Loux - tied with Isshin for the best boss fight in any video game.
Ludwig better than malenia, gael, oprhan of kos, lady maria, gehrman, mohg, owl? that is crazy. Ludwig is overrated as fuck. Second phase is easy, and first phase is not tha difficult, his moveset in general is not funnier than many other bosses, the only remarkable thing is cinematic and ost (best ost ever, yes), but the fight is not that great.
Brilliant video bru. Definitely agree regarding the excellence of Gascoigne, though the lore surrounding him and his family elevated the experience for me even further, especially with how it's implied that he butchered his own wife as he gave in more to the beasthood, and how both of his children die. Brutal but beautiful. Massively agree with your #1 pick too. I think Gael is pretty much the perfect boss in literally every way.
Gael is so freaking good, and I was happy to put Ludwig at number 2. Gascoine is a classic. I was happy to have a decent amount of Bloodborne bosses on my list as that has risen to my favorite of fromsofts batch. Hopefully the little trailer of the DLC is awesome :D
Midir is on the tougher side of the boss roster for a first run, however on subsequent runs he becomes incredibly easy. I've beat him SL1 a couple of times and he never gave me any difficulty unlike Gael, Freide, Soul of Cinder and Demon Prince
@@ZeikerYT Yea, they are both in my top 30, Pladusax has a slow first phase then pops off after and Radagon gets dragged down a little by Elden Beast (which is also a banger but it kind of affected my impact if you get me)
I hate Gael so much, because when I beat him, I just wanted to fight him again, but I'd have to play through the game again to do that. So I did do that, and when I beat him again, I must wanted to fight him more. Gael is a bad boss, because he makes you spend too much time wanting to fight him again, he s bad for you.
godfrey and morgott is better than any dlc boss from the older games in everything but maybe lore and music imo, although godfreys soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks ive ever heard, much better than ludwigs or gael, i think nostalgia has alot to do with these souls veteran rankings tbh but my most fav soundtracks in the series are usually hub area and ambient music, so elden ring has the best soundtrack for me by far.
Elden ring definitely has the best sound track. But Gaels theme will always be my favorite souls game theme. Well maybe not always but currently. It’s not really nostalgia either that theme just literally slaps. But Elden ring has soooooo many bangers. Fortisax, placidusax, radahn, maliketh, mohg, malenia, fire giant, renalla, godrick, morgott, Godfrey, the final battle, and my personal favorite the god skin theme. Oh and the ancestor spirit them is also divine. No other game comes close to this amount of insanely good tracks. And this is only boss themes. Elden ring also has creepy ambient music in catacombs, peaceful music in open world, eerie music in legacy dungeons. It has it all. Elden ring soundtrack is the GOAT
Mohg's Bloodboon Ritual doesn't bother me because it does a percentage of your health, and he can only do it once. It's not a stat check, it's just a healing flask check, and you start the game with enough flasks to tank through it.
The only thing about Mohg that really holds him back is how much a ranged build can really trivialize the fight. Doing Mohg melee is an incredible experience, but on my Bolt of Gransax run I decided to give it a "fuck it why not" attempt without the purifying tear or shackle and I did it first try with over half my healing left. And sorcery builds can just one shot him in phase 1. Bit underwhelming for an otherwise incredible boss. I also think his phase transition is incredible, and the most cinematic transition ever without a cutscene
@@CosmicEye597 it’s mainly that pontiff is the boss I’ve had the most time with from the fight to the lore and it honestly feels rare to see anyone speak his praise
he said so many times he isn’t including sekiro and is going to make a separate video on it. And soul of cinder is great but i think it’s a bit too easy for a final boss, but it’s a great sl1 fight
We are going to have an even harder boss than Malenia in the DLC, namely Miquella. Messmer is shown way too much in the trailer for it to be the final boss of the dlc.
Even after Edlen Ring Midir is still the best Dragon From ever created ... but i am what you can call a Souls Vet cause i started 2009 with OG Demon Souls and i struggled a lot with him
After beating Dark Souls 1 and 3 at level 1 and I am currently at Morgott in Elden Ring level 1 I can still say Midir is one if not the hardest boss I’ve ever fought. Dude is a beast, he hits so hard and has such a large health pool. Such a great boss
I tend to have a hard time on ‘easier’ bosses and breeze through some of the bosses the community deems as hard, but Midir is insurmountable to me. He’s the only boss in DS3 I’m unable to beat.
Midir is literally not difficult. Just stay in front of him. My guess is you find it so hard because you are staying under him and hitting his legs right?
@@tehCostHD I don’t quite recall cause it’s been a while, but I remember always dying to his laser and fire breathing attacks. And he always flies away whenever I’m close enough to hit him
In DS3 demon prince was the only fight that I didn't like. Second phase with one big demon is good and mostly easy, I beat him 4 try (of 4 times I saw him at all). But first phase is random and just bad in general. Two demons can accidently both turn melee and you won't come close to them by 10 meters because if you do they will stunlock you to death with spam. And if they decide to turn both range you won't come close to them too because all the space around them is covered in poison mist. In the end I just decided to burst one down quickly and fight with the second in melee 1v1. After this decision I won instantly. But as a gang fight it is just yet another failure. And it's considering that there were only 4 bosses that weren't killed out right or within 3 tries: Nameless King (7 tries), Gael (7 tries) Friede (something around 1 hour because I was underleveled) and those 2 demons (1,5 hours).
I don't understand how you've played through any of these games and not looked into the lore at all.. you're missing out, and honestly doing an injustice to yourself. Baffling that you never once were like "huh, I wonder why I'm killing all these bosses?"
I respect your wrong opinion, but, my top: 1-Inner isshin 2-Gael 3-Friede 4-Inner owl 5-Godfrey 6-Malenia 7-Gehrman 8-Radagon 9-Orphan of Kos 10-Morgott I know Lady maria is S tier but not better than these 10 (even though morgott is easier, his moveset is cooler than lady maria imo), and Ludwig is overrated, he is A tier.
@@CosmicEye597not suprising considering bloodborn is a fan favorite witch is also my ps if you hah to play bloodborne or hollow knight witch would it be and witch fromsoftware story is your favorite
I always thought that mohg was just unnecessarily hard, but not in a fun way. Much like it shown in the clips you cannot get a hit off on phase 2 without him hitting you back which I think is never fun
I enjoyed the video, good job, keep it up, however, you keep saying you wish some bosses had more health, you’re either flexing or maybe I’m just insecure about my own video game ability, either way it’s annoying.
Nah he’s right Malenia is mid as hell and literally breaks the mechanics of the game because of how her hyperarmor makes it so that she can’t be staggered when she should be able to. She’s only hard because of her bullshit hyper armor and her stupid super move that’s nearly undodgeable without prior knowledge/ a guide
@@rigorm136 Also sister friede and lady maria, both bosses that are similarly designed to Malenia also have moves that have hyper armor. Their only problem was that it wasn't nearly enough to stop them from being easy to R1 stunlock. Now that Malenia fixed that problem people like you are now mad that you can't R1 stunlock her.
Orphan is not really a good fight,his hitbox attacks are just bullshit and he hits u even if u are behind him and even if u dodge,he is the hardest boss ive faught in souls but i dont think its one of the best
It's his opinion so it will be bias. I don't think this video is to be objective but subjective. Just like if you would do this list from what I am reading you would have more elden ring bosses which would be your opinion. It's not possible to have an objective answer to the best bosses in a franchise because everyone will have different takes. So I don't see the need to bash him for liking DS3 bosses more than ER bosses. Nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree on certain takes. At the end of the day it's just games we all play for fun
Elden ring base game can fill a good 5 or 6 spots on lists like these if you like mechanically challenging boss fights. But if you like light attack spamming, choosing this many ds3 bosses is understandable.
@@Nrzpokrter I'd put morgott here for sure if the fight wasnt so damn short and id also put ancient dragon lansseax as well as fortisaxx oh and also-; you know now that I think about it... ds3 and bloodborne bosses are so iconic that theyre overshadowing really good elden ring bosses completely, in my head at least
I wonder where he will place Messmer on the list. Imo he is the best boss in terms of moveset and lore yet. He isn’t so hard that he seems impossible, but his challenge is similar to Malenia’s while also being fair. Plus, his lore is pretty easy to understand just by the two cutscenes of him we see
He is really hard but not as hard as Melania in my opinion. Their movesets are of similar difficulty, but Melania is much more of a endurance test than Messmer. Although I completely agree that Messmer absolutely fucking slaps (I still like Melania a bit better though)
I think Midir is the best Fromsoftware dragon Elden Ring dragons are cool, but ironically the ancient dragons feel kinda lamer to me. Placidusax is really cool but he just feels kinda lackluster. So much flair. To me, his model is a bit unappealing, and the way he moves is kinda boring
I'd say Midir is one of the hardest bosses in the series. Or at least is on your first couple fights. I've beaten DS3 probably 5 times now, so I have his moveset completely memorized. But it's a pretty huge moveset. Even still, it's a long fight, and even experienced players like myself start to sweat a bit, espcially into phase 2. Extremely rewarding fight.
@@tehCostHD They are awesome, it's just that they may be too complex for some people, and they punish DS3-style playing. You need to find your own openings, and that is why I love ER's bosses.
Though I disagree with a lot of your takes, this was a great video! Keep it up On a side note, it pained me to see you buff dragonslayer's axe with fire, split damage in DS3 is messed up and dsa always needs lightning. Ggs on SL1, more challenge runs some time? 🤗
Bruh give an honorable mention entry to Sekiro at least dude... Its a from game idk why people refuse to catergrize it as such just bc you cant roll through everything.
I love the idea of Midir, fighting head-on rather than DS1 tail chopping, but I'd expect that to involve moving forwards. Instead you have to keep the analog stick yanked backed half the time, like how at 10:03 we see several dodges going straight away from the boss, toward the camera.
midir is actually pretty easy once you get the mechanic, I have a video of my boss fight with him on I would just slam r2 attack with the dragonslayers weapon to staggered him & for kos the stance switch attack always stunned him for me so that helped
So... Here's my hot take: I like Dragonslayer armor more than Gael personally And I love Gael from all points except for a visual design perspective, as the santa-like design kinda made me... Not able to take him seriously? Either way, there's my take slithering out of the woodworks as you predicted! All around wonderful list though!
@@firstorderblade4432they are top 20 for me simply because the top 10 is too stacked. For me it’s 1. Gael 2. Ishin sword saint 3. Owl father 4. Ludwig 5. Nameless king 6. Friede 7. Malenia 8. Mohg 9. Demon prince 10. Placidusax 11. Godfrey 12. Maliketh 13. Twin princes 14. Midir 15. Artorias 16. Radahn 17. Soul of cinder 18. Maria 19. Gehrman 20. Fume knight
@@tehCostHD The ones that I specifically disagree with a lot from your top 20 are Malenia, placidusax, and artorias Malenia is a fun boss but she has several glaring issues to be better than twin princes or soul of cinder for example Placidussax is genuinely bad in my mind, visually awesome but the fight sucks. It feels like smacking a motionless rock until it dies. There's no flow to it. Midir is far and away better Artorias is a great ds1 boss, but a mediocre series boss. Enough said. He just has too few moves and too much age to be that amazing
Awesome list and I'm glad you didn't put a bunch of elden ring fights in the top ten, that game has some stinkers. My list would be 1. Ludwig 2. Gael 3. Demon Prince 4. Maria 5. Lorian and Lothric 6. Orphan 7. Gascoigne 8. Pontiff 9. Soul of Cinder 10. Abyss Watchers
@@rigorm136 it’s completely whack, having to look up how to counter one attack is garbage. The rest of the fight is bearable but the comically delayed attacks are annoying and illogical, and the lingering blood flame is just irritating. imo just a bad fight

This is all I can offer

Other than sekiro bosses my favorites are Godfrey, Demon Prince, Gael, Mohg, and Orphan (Radagon by himself would be up here too)
Not a bad list, but not a single boss from DS1 and DS2 is wild. For me, Artorias, Sir Alonne and O&S are top 10.

But it's a pretty huge moveset. Even still, it's a long fight, and even experienced players like myself start to sweat a bit, espcially into phase 2. Extremely rewarding fight.
My list:
Honorable mentions:
Godfrey/Hoarah Loux
Ornstein and Smough
Pontiff Sulyvahn
Sister Friede
Demon of Hatred
10. Sir Alonne
9. Manus
8. Midir
7. Placidusax
6. Nameless King
5. Radahn
4. Morgott
3. Mohg
2. Gael
1. Maliketh
Finally some respect on Elden ring bosses
@@tehCostHD They are awesome, it's just that they may be too complex for some people, and they punish DS3-style playing. You need to find your own openings, and that is why I love ER's bosses.
Though I disagree with a lot of your takes, this was a great video! Keep it up
On a side note, it pained me to see you buff dragonslayer's axe with fire, split damage in DS3 is messed up and dsa always needs lightning. Ggs on SL1, more challenge runs some time? 🤗
i agree with all the list except i would put gherman at 1 (yes im a bloodborne simp) and gael 2
Bruh give an honorable mention entry to Sekiro at least dude...
Its a from game idk why people refuse to catergrize it as such just bc you cant roll through everything.
I dont know why, but gael disapointed me in terms of dificulty. needed way more tries for pontif demon Prince sister Friede Soul of cinder etc
Its your opinion but idk i dont think mogh is the best eldenring boss
Why did I think number 6 was gonna be mikolash 😭
Sad to see no nameless king 🥶
I love the idea of Midir, fighting head-on rather than DS1 tail chopping, but I'd expect that to involve moving forwards. Instead you have to keep the analog stick yanked backed half the time, like how at 10:03 we see several dodges going straight away from the boss, toward the camera.
Hi would you wanna do a collaborative video or live stream together if not I wish you great success
midir is actually pretty easy once you get the mechanic, I have a video of my boss fight with him on I would just slam r2 attack with the dragonslayers weapon to staggered him & for kos the stance switch attack always stunned him for me so that helped
So... Here's my hot take: I like Dragonslayer armor more than Gael personally
And I love Gael from all points except for a visual design perspective, as the santa-like design kinda made me... Not able to take him seriously? Either way, there's my take slithering out of the woodworks as you predicted! All around wonderful list though!
based af take
me personally
1. soul of cinder
2. gael
3. abyss watchers
4. Isshin
5. burnt ivory king

10. champion gundyr/pontiff/midir/nameless/dragonslayer armor TIED
twin princes is f tier fight, you’re high
@@kabahentosis1718 your high if you think the twin princes are bad. They are a top 10 boss on anyone's list
@@kabahentosis1718bro never fucking cook again.
@@firstorderblade4432they are top 20 for me simply because the top 10 is too stacked. For me it’s
1. Gael
2. Ishin sword saint
3. Owl father
4. Ludwig
5. Nameless king
6. Friede
7. Malenia
8. Mohg
9. Demon prince
10. Placidusax
11. Godfrey
12. Maliketh
13. Twin princes
14. Midir
15. Artorias
16. Radahn
17. Soul of cinder
18. Maria
19. Gehrman
20. Fume knight
@@tehCostHD The ones that I specifically disagree with a lot from your top 20 are Malenia, placidusax, and artorias
Malenia is a fun boss but she has several glaring issues to be better than twin princes or soul of cinder for example
Placidussax is genuinely bad in my mind, visually awesome but the fight sucks. It feels like smacking a motionless rock until it dies. There's no flow to it. Midir is far and away better
Artorias is a great ds1 boss, but a mediocre series boss. Enough said. He just has too few moves and too much age to be that amazing
You don't know how to avoid Mogh's transition Damage?
Hi
Gael is so garbage 🤦♂️
L take he’s definitely overrated but not garbage
@@A-ALUCARD-D I haven’t played the game lmao I’m trolling I have no idea who this guy is
@@A-ALUCARD-Dhe’s not even overrated lmao he’s perfectly rated. Greatest boss fight in all of video games
Awesome list and I'm glad you didn't put a bunch of elden ring fights in the top ten, that game has some stinkers. My list would be
1. Ludwig
2. Gael
3. Demon Prince
4. Maria
5. Lorian and Lothric
6. Orphan
7. Gascoigne
8. Pontiff
9. Soul of Cinder
10. Abyss Watchers
Mohg is garbageeeee
you have tumor 🙂
Nah he’s good it’s just that unavoidable damage is cheap
@@rigorm136 it’s completely whack, having to look up how to counter one attack is garbage. The rest of the fight is bearable but the comically delayed attacks are annoying and illogical, and the lingering blood flame is just irritating. imo just a bad fight
@@kadenmaguglin392 I respect your opinion but I disagree
@@rigorm136 use one (1) estus flask
