    Demon's Souls Remake was rumored for ages and has finally released at the dawn of the new geneation, so of course I was hyped to play through a reimagined version of From Software's earlier modern roots and do a Demon's Souls Remake boss ranking. It's been over 4 years since we started our very first rankings with the Souls series. However, this time, I only plan to do this single ranking, and instead have a video essay planned for the Demon's Souls boss quality.
    Today we'll be ranking the Demon's Souls Remake bosses from easiest to hardest, including Maiden Astraea and Garl Vinland, Tower Knight, False King Allant, Dragon God, Flamelurker, Maneater, Adjudicator, Phalanx, Leechmonger, Fool's Idol, Old Monk, Old Hero, Storm King, and more. I hope you enjoy, and be sure to subscribe for for more rankings, top 10's and gaming content.

    • @karabirb
      @karabirb 2 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      I honestly think it might be intentional! Every boss in this game is so satisfying to kill, regardless of their difficulty, because it feels like you’re triumphing over the whole level. Like, sure, Adjudicator is a pushover. But, I still popped off when I killed him first try, because it meant I wouldn’t have to make the long, hard trek through 4-1 again. Every boss is like this, more of less! I think it’s a really interesting approach to the bosses that I kinda wish would get revisited

    What I really like about Demon's Souls is how certain bosses are the hardest, for certain classes.
    In my OG DeS play, Maneater was tough, but I died only once with my Bow focused character, and that death was my own a slip(off a ledge). And in the Remake, well. I went mage, and flame-broiled them. But for melee focused characters, Maneater is a tear eater. False King in contrast, is much harder for my ranged characters, as he covers distance like a Flash villain.
    I like this, as this plays into one of DeS's greatest strengths, in that, you choose your path, and boss order. And everyone's ends up being slightly different as they play towards their character's strengths.

      Demon's Souls better split the RPG paths than Dark Souls. What I mean, is you can main a spell caster or bow, and actually mostly spellcast or bow. Dark Souls in contrast, started to focus it's combat much more on being a shield & "sword" fighter first, and your "class" just augments that. Magic is still strong, but with its limited casts, you rely on your magic scaling weapon more. And the bow is just a support weapon for a dex build.
      And Bloodborne is its own beast. Focusing much more on aggressive gameplay, and is more defined by the weapon you use, than the skill tree you focus on.

He destroyed me three or four times in a row, making me think he was a truly challenging boss. Then I realized that all you need to do is stay medium to long range, let him do his dash attack, dodge it and hit him in the back a few times. There is literally no danger fighting him this way since you only have to contend with one attack.

    It's awesome seeing you back at it DMOD, the thing with Demon's Souls I think sets it apart from Dark Souls has always been and will always be it's world design. The choice to go with stages rather than an interconnected world allowed them to create some of the most intricate levels in all of gaming and I never get sick of it. I think 4-3 was definitely the best looking stage in the remake, the storm effects and the way Storm King moves is breathtaking.
    Hardest boss for me? Flamelurker this time around, I think the updated frame rate actually made it a lot harder for me to respond to his attacks and he kept piling damage though it was still a great boss fight.

I went into it blind and chose a magician and used magic with the falchion crescent. When I went back, I used the big fire spell (firestorm?) And I had put so much into magic at that point that it did just about a full health bar (like 95%). I liked using magic, but it really limited me in terms of what shield I could have since I had like no strength and the false king boss was brutal since I did so little damage using a falchion.

So I went and played all of the x-1 levels, came back to Flamelurker and he was still kicking my ass. I got so good at getting down those platforms from all the times I died.

    I finished my first "blind" run of Demon's Souls a week ago and was actually surprised and at the same time somewhat disappointed by the overal difficulty of the boss fights. The only boss I died to multiple times was Armour Spider (got stuck on the permanent spider webs left and right of the spider a lot) and I fell of the bridge in the Maneater fight once but I "first tried" every other boss in the game. There are so many fights you could potentially cheese or were there is an easy kill method once you figure it out. Flamelurker, Penetrator and False King Allant were the only fights were I felt like I had to actually give my best in an honest 1v1 duel against the boss.

    After months of waiting, stock finally dropped online when I wasn't at work, was a happy night, it comes in 3 weeks before elden ring, so I have 3 weeks to beat demon souls before hand, can't fucking wait!

    This list is pretty accurate. If only because it was easiest for me to get summoned for the top 7 or so. Always happy to lend a hand in jolly cooperation.

    Love how he uses the leechmonger spot to literally make a guide for players meeting demons souls by the remaie

    Gotta say, I found the Armor Spider extremely tough. Granted, this is my first time playing DS but sometimes dodging the webs can be tricky and the fireballs can wreck your shit.

    So far the old King Allant is the one giving me the most pain, I've been running a Battle Mage build and my Crescent Falshion is doing very little damage to this guy, I can take him down with about 3 Firestorms, but since this is a move with a long animation he often catches me in between those.

    Actually they DID increase leechmonger and dirty colossus’s defense and health, so both last longer than they did the original. Sadly this only matters if you defeat them earlier than DeMod did.

    I did not know the level progression worked that way, I played all the way through Archstone 2 after fighting tower knight and then went back to finish 1. Flamelurker and Allant took me ages.

    I had problems with the Maneaters too till I stayed on the round middle platform. They constantly ran against the middle and I could pick them off 1 by 1.
