Imagine if after beating Pinwheel, his coffin starts collapsing until it's the size of a narrow alley, two giant skeleton dogs jump down, and pinwheel attaches a giant wheel to his body and becomes Capra demon V2, now with an actual wheel instead of Capra

I never used any divine weapons in any dark souls game so far and the catacombs (or any area with resurrecting enemies) are far from the worst areas in dark souls
There was one time, a few of the Deacons hit me with some spells in a row, and my health was really low. I was so shocked. I have never died to this boss, and I was telling myself "Holy shit, will it happen? Will the deacons get one on me finally!?" No, they died shortly after, but that was still the most shocked I've been with a Souls game in recent memory. Edit: They finally did it. I was doing a Paladin RP run (mace faith build, no estus flask, could only use miracles to heal) and they hit me a few times in a row, couldn't use my estus and didn't have time to cast my miracles. I'm so proud of them.
I die to them because I dient pay attention ans got cursed, I had too much fun throwing fire bombs (although I only needed 1 try for almost every other boss)

Yes, King Allant was easy to the point of being pathetic, but that was the point. Even if you ignore most of the lore, you get the twist with Allant, and the true price of playing with powers you do not understand.
King Allant shouldn't count for these kinds of lists in my opinion because he has clearly been intentionally designed to be an easy "boss" for story telling purposes.
He said everything y’all are saying Case in point is that he has the health bar. He is CONSIDERED a boss. So he will be on boss lists. He’s good quality wise and lore wise yes. But if he’s on one boss list he HAS to be in all technically
@@sirmcafee2365 True, but he *did* say Allant was a poor excuse for a challenge, which he isn't, because Allant wasn't meant to be a challenge. The lack of difficulty was meant to stand out and highlight the fall from grace.
I remember my first playthrough of DS, it was about a year after my friends beat it and they sometimes dropped comments about bosses to me. The Capra Demon in particular, but when I went to fight him I killed both dogs a few seconds after going through the fog gate so the fight was trivial and I never really understood why they said it was a hard fight.
In DS3, the Deacons of the Deep become really difficult for me in NG+ as there seem to be more of them, they do a lot more damage, heal quicker, and start curse easily.
I have a confession to make... i struggle at beating the curse rotted greatwood. Ive beaten bosses that are considered to be much harder by the community, but i cant handle its shit gimmick and im starting to hate trees because of this boss.
suggestion use either a ultra great sword or a machete. You can beat it really quickly if you do so. Also you should not go for the minimum strength required to one hand but the minimum strength required to two hand allowing you to save souls to use for other things.
For phase 1, get rid of as many of the mobs as possible before you fight the boss. For phase 2, avoid the hand entirely and focus on the spores on the back, then on getting it to roll back so you can get the spores on the arm
@@danieleasterling5325 How fast were you able to defeat the cursed rotting great wood because my strategy with the weapon is not to play the long game against the boss but to blitz the boss.

Also on the deacons fight, if you use that ring that gives life when you kill enemies, if you do one broad swing and kill a bunch of deacons you heal pretty much full health
I remember a time when I died to the Witches of Hemwick 3 times in a row and I was like "WAT" and decided to just sleep. The next morning I beat them in one attempt. :^)
If I hadn't known about Pinwheel beforehand, I wouldn't even know his name. I walked in with a Crystal Homing Soulmass and he died *instantly* Also, fun fact: Wolnir is not immune to poison. The Poison Spores from the Storyteller's Staff can kill him in two applications without even waking him, and of course you could just use Pestilent Mist. Or both, if you feel like being especially cruel to poor defenseless skeletons.
I thought the number 1 spot was actually gonna go to someone like leechmonger, but true king alant definitely deserves top honors, or I guess dishonors in this case. Glad you brought back the Moonlight butter doesn't fly clip, 10/10 still.
I want to make a case for Vordt belonging on this list and quite high up as well. Even an un-upgraded weapon on a base level character can melt through him and as soon as you get him down to half health, you dodge three times then run a bit and the fight is over, since the ice breath takes forever and if you don't use R2s to hit him during it he won't stagger out of it, you can just keep on draining his health bar while he attacks the empty air in front of him.
The only thing that makes the covetous demon slightly hard is if he manages to eat you, but you only fall for that if you aren't expecting it, and as you said, you're talking about experts!
@@femboygodblankkcu284 I ran back to the locarion of the set and back but he wouldn't follow me He just used his OP fire beams Did that for about 15 min Came back later to kill him the old fashioned way
@@chaptermastertatolord9327 Make sure you grab the gold hemmed set first. This will activate the boss fight. Then run all the way to the fog gate but do not cross the gate. Then hug the side of the gate. he will then get his arm stuck I believe. Just run up and attack the arm it will first look like you are doing an average amount of damage but after a few hits his health bar disappears. This makes him easily beatable even after you just defeated Quelaag. Though if you do not do this strategy you will have a bad time. Also there is a path that is quicker and safer to get back to the fog gate.
We aren't losing anything with the release of Sekiro! Miyazaki and From are working on three titles at the moment (not including Deracine). One is Shadows Die Twice (which we now know is Sekiro), another is a reboot of an older series, and the third and final title is a dark fantasy rpg like the ones we know and love from Miyazaki. Personally I'm really hoping it's Bloodborne 2 but I don't know how likely that is. Regardless, with From's track record I'm looking forward to whatever it is.
Michiel Kootstra But this is from the perspective of a veteran, and most veterans are able to skip the man-serpents by doing a jump-attack off the stairs.
Dreadshot01 Well, that assumes you know you could do that, and even if you’re a veteran in terms of DkS1&2 you might not know that you can do that. It kinda did get an honorable mention though.
Demod forget to mention one thing about the Deacons fight: if you have the Left Eye of the Pontiff ring then you don’t even need to worry about healing if you get hit! If you come in with a big sweeping weapon like the Exile Greatsword then you’ll hit 5 or 6 Deacons in the swing and that restores a lot of health with the Left Eye!
I have to agree with how easy Wolnir is, on my most recent playthrough I was backed all the way up (his arms were clipping through the back wall of the arena), yet I STILL DIDN'T DIE SOMEHOW. I've only died to Wolnir once on my first playthrough, and despite my 4th and 5th playthroughs having me playing poorly in the fight I have yet to die a second time to Wolnir. Ancient Wyvern is the next closest at a total of 4 deaths over the 4 playthroughs I've fought him in so far. For me the Decons of the Deep have always been one of the harder bosses for me, though on my most recent playthrough I finally managed to beat them on my first go. I'm not joking when I say that on my third playthrough (Luck/Dexterity Hollow build) I died more times to the Decons of the Deep than I died to DARKEATER MIDIR (Died twice to Midir). Yes, the Decons of the Deep killed me more times than what is considered by many to be the hardest boss in the game. I summed Sirris just to get past the Decons of the Deep that playthrough. I don't find Midir to be that hard (I mean on my two most recent kills I died a combined total of three times), but the Decons, fuck them.
My first souls game ever was dark souls 3 and I killed the vape lord in one try mainly because I soon as I ran for the shiny and got jump scared I immediately ran all the way up the hill and when he got there he didn’t do his poison attack so i destroyed him
Amazed you included the Deacons and not the Whack-a-Rat Vanguard, I literally don’t think I’ve had an easier time with a boss. Also as personal preference I find Oceiros and the Wyvern from DS3 ridiculously easy, every time I fight Oceiros he just kept on missing me like he didn’t know where the hell I was.
I like the way you did your old top 10 videos better with the little intro graphic to each boss and show some stats on it like votes or your opinion I hope you bring that back and future top tens
So my speed bump in Dark Souls is always the gaping dragon. I consistently get him stuck in a cycle of doing the easy to dodge and punish charge, which is why I always make a point of killing it in early game because of the massive boost in levels I can get from it.
Yea watching one of my favorite streamers play through DS1 remastered for the first time (his first soulsborne game) I realized the series gives you some of the best bosses in gaming history and some of the worst as well
Михаил Пашковский unmmm whAT? If you don’t let the rider kill himself he could still one shot you if you’re not careful. The deacons on the other hand, you could just spam light attack to bulldoze through the deacons to easily kill the pope. You.are.
I think a lot of these bosses are more boring than they are bad. To me, a bad boss is a boss which has been made with unfair and un-fun mechanics. In my opinion, a boss like the capra demon is a terrible boss because it is so poorly designed. It is not fun to be stun-locked by hard-hitting enemies while backed into a corner.
Damn I'm realizing that many people had trouble with that boss, I only died once to the fucking dogs but otherwise I found the boss really easy. *in my first playthrough*
@@MrPatrickbuit I almost beat smough and ornstein on my first try, i had killed ornstein and then due to one shitty dodge I got one hit by electric big mama Then I started failing and was stuck for a week.
Surprised to not see bosses like Ancient Wyvern and Ceaseless Discharge on the list. Sure they could potentially pose a threat but so could any of the bosses on the list. You only really get hurt if you stand there and take it
PM and congregation were one of the few bosses I beat first try in ds2, granted I had an npc phantom, but even then that provides even more of an example of how easy it is if the npc doesn't die
By accident, I entered pinwheel by equipping a new shield with better resistances to his attacks and as a result went over my equip load without realising. I went on to still beat him with just 4 flasks left on my first play through thinking he put a spell on me that made me go slow xD
I actually found moonlight butterfly harder than O and S, harder than kalameet, and harder than Manus on my first playthrough. I died twice as many times to it as I did to those three fights combined. Why? I somehow thought it was the progression path and was extremely low level having not even killed the gargoyles. Not only was I weak enough to die in two hits, I had no humanity to kindle the bonfire and my barely upgraded weapon necessitated four rounds of hitting the damn thing. I nearly quit souls forever when i beat it and found it was optional.
I find it impressive that you even got there. I found the area before the boss fight much harder than the actual boss. Hate those stone knights and their tranquil walk of peace.
Same here! On my very first playthrough I was even fatrolling, was really low level and still used the bandit knife. Despite being pretty easy I like the Moonlight Butterfly fight. The music is awesome and even today I find the enemy modell really fuckin cool. Just looks beautiful and mystic, so out of place in the area... Actually this got me into reading the lore much more.
I agree, it looks quite majestic and mystical. I didn't see at first though. I was too fixated on its staff head to really think more about the butterfly part. I find most of Seath's creations to be majestic but at the same time they're grotesque and disturbing. The dichotomy makes them even more interesting, in my opinion.
I think these things make DS1 the best in the series. DS2 was really generic with the enemies, I cant really recall anything original or interesting. DS3 is better in this regard, but doesnt have the "Whoaaaaa" factor as DS1 had. Moonlight Butterfly, Seath, Priscilla, Kalameeth, even Artorias despite being "only" a knight. Hell even the Bed of Chaos is impressing on the first glance just as a sight to see (until you realize this is the shittiest boss of all time). Even some minibosses. Seeing the armored boar for the first time I thought it was the coolest enemy ever.
For Wolnir did anyone else have him run so far up his arms would actually clip through the wall so you can’t hit him? For me he also summoned enemies that legit can’t take damage.
Aron 2018 remastered isn’t better than the original with DSFix and SweetFX, could run that at 60 FPS just fine and it looked better than the remaster, only problem was the ladder bugs really. The remaster was pretty pathetic, I was honestly expecting them to make it look like DkS3 which would’ve been amazing, but it was just a quick cashgrab aimed at console players really.
you know what makes the covetous demon even easier? if you shoot the hanging vases hanging from the ceiling, they will fall and the boss goes and eats them, he doesn't even attack
I’ve noticed a lot of my friends struggle with the Four Kings from Dark Souls Remastered but it was a literal cake walk for me. They do little to no damage and don’t move hardly at all. Am I the only one who feels this way?
Pinwheel's big attack is literally filling the room with pinwheels and making it so it's impossible to dodge his fireballs. the only way that happens is if you're at a low level, don't know to kill the adds, and soloing the boss with an un-upgraded weapon.
10: Living Failuires 9: Witches of Hemwick 8: Moonlight Butterfly 7: Deacons of the Deep 6: Celestial Emissary 5: Pinwheel 4: Wolnir 3: The One Reborn 2: Micolash 1: Mergos Wet Nurse
Something I never see mentioned about covetous demon that makes him even EASIER is that you can shoot the cages on the ceiling to drop some fodder guys to distract him so you can attack him without him even noticing you. He literally doesn’t fight back.
I just went up against Pinwheel in my first NG+. I had forgotten how easy he is to the point where I thought that he had teleported after I hit him a few times because he was starting that animation. Quite a shift from the brutality that was ascended Ornstein.
Beating demon souls back when it was newish was one of my all time feel good victories in gaming! It didn’t matter that the end game boss was not a threat-it made sense and fit in perfectly with the depressing souls tm atmosphere-getting to allant in the final run was the challenge for sure, so i would have thought you might include that run as part of his difficulty. Just my opinion; pinwheel was just a btw joke! Awesome video @theDeModcracy-keep up the awesome work!
Admittedly, I did die to Pinwheel once even though I came to fight him mid game. That was due to me being unsure about which was a clone and which was the real Pinwheel and I got spammed by Pinwheel’s clones’ (and likely Pinwheel’s) fireballs all within the span of three seconds. That was what killed me. I killed him the second time (and no, I didn’t summon Leeroy, I still don’t know where his summon sign is).
There are several bosses in the series you don't even have to fight. You can summon an NPC to do it for you and they'll win every time. You can get to Witch to kill the moonlight butterfly for you before it lands (sometimes. Her AI is pretty bad.) We also can't forget his majesty Black Iron Tarkus beating the Iron Golem for us. In Dark Souls 2, Jester Thomas kills Mytha on his own, assuming you drain her room of poison so you don't die yourself. I'm sure there are other bosses in the games beatable by NPCs but those three are off the top of my head.
theDeModcracy I agree the fight is extremely boring but yea it definitely makes sense with the lore but I am not going to lie I wish one or 2 of these boss would have been either improved or removed
What makes Pinwheel in my oppinion even easier is that you can summon Paladin Leeroy for assistance, who will happily beat him for you with no input on your behalf required in about 3 Hits.
I recently fought pinwheel after beating quelag and ringing her bell and all I'll say is that going through the through the area to reach him is way harder. I was about lvl 40 with a divine morning star and +5 etosc, I let a few clones gather, I gave him a fighting chance, I still bent him over.
Abyss demon. First boss of Dark Souls. Only time I ever dies to him was practicing parties above him. And than seeing what would happen if all those pillars were destroyed.

The goddamn meme wizard
Csúb - Az Űrmedve o god the nightmare that that buffer made me do
To be fair they are probably only a boss to give you a titanite slab and not have one just randomly there.
The Channeler and the hollows are unironically harder than PM & C.
The Bonewheel pit before Pinwheel is the true boss of the Catacombs
That's exactly why Pinwheel is so easy.

Even an un-upgraded weapon on a base level character can melt through him and as soon as you get him down to half health, you dodge three times then run a bit and the fight is over, since the ice breath takes forever and if you don't use R2s to hit him during it he won't stagger out of it, you can just keep on draining his health bar while he attacks the empty air in front of him.
The only thing that makes the covetous demon slightly hard is if he manages to eat you, but you only fall for that if you aren't expecting it, and as you said, you're talking about experts!
The fact that a boss like Prowling Magus and Congregation even exists in itself is fascinating to me.
pls do your top 10 favourites
It'll be coming in the next few big videos!
tnx i am excited as i just started watching your demodathons and am enjoying them heavily
Thanks for the support on them bat!
You’re the one who inspired me to attempt challenge runs on the Souls games.
I owe my dedicated Level 1 character, Bluetiful Joe to you.
When it comes to pinwheel, you’re the boss
On my first play through of DS1, I had more trouble with the stone knight outside the Moonlight Butterfly boss room than the actual boss
Surprised Ceasless Discharge isn't on here. You can 1 shot him basically. Great vid though!
That thing killed me more times then any other boss in the series, except midir, i have not killd that thing yet...
But If you miss that oppertunity it's one of the hardest bosses in DS1
Jonathan N. you can't miss the opportunity

I ran back to the locarion of the set and back but he wouldn't follow me
He just used his OP fire beams
Did that for about 15 min
Came back later to kill him the old fashioned way
@@chaptermastertatolord9327 Make sure you grab the gold hemmed set first. This will activate the boss fight. Then run all the way to the fog gate but do not cross the gate. Then hug the side of the gate. he will then get his arm stuck I believe. Just run up and attack the arm it will first look like you are doing an average amount of damage but after a few hits his health bar disappears. This makes him easily beatable even after you just defeated Quelaag. Though if you do not do this strategy you will have a bad time. Also there is a path that is quicker and safer to get back to the fog gate.
We aren't losing anything with the release of Sekiro!
Miyazaki and From are working on three titles at the moment (not including Deracine). One is Shadows Die Twice (which we now know is Sekiro), another is a reboot of an older series, and the third and final title is a dark fantasy rpg like the ones we know and love from Miyazaki.
Personally I'm really hoping it's Bloodborne 2 but I don't know how likely that is. Regardless, with From's track record I'm looking forward to whatever it is.
I still think that the One-shot Wyvern could've made it's way on here, but good ranking nonetheless.
Dreadshot01 you're forgetting axe and chain there my friend
Michiel Kootstra But this is from the perspective of a veteran, and most veterans are able to skip the man-serpents by doing a jump-attack off the stairs.
@@michielkootstra3427 Even as a Souls virgin, it was the only boss I beat on my first try
Dreadshot01 Well, that assumes you know you could do that, and even if you’re a veteran in terms of DkS1&2 you might not know that you can do that.
It kinda did get an honorable mention though.
Ceaseless discharge is also one shot and you just have to run back at the beginning.
Demod forget to mention one thing about the Deacons fight: if you have the Left Eye of the Pontiff ring then you don’t even need to worry about healing if you get hit! If you come in with a big sweeping weapon like the Exile Greatsword then you’ll hit 5 or 6 Deacons in the swing and that restores a lot of health with the Left Eye!
Honestly thank you for this list, it's so entertaining even if I have only beat dark souls 1
I have to agree with how easy Wolnir is, on my most recent playthrough I was backed all the way up (his arms were clipping through the back wall of the arena), yet I STILL DIDN'T DIE SOMEHOW. I've only died to Wolnir once on my first playthrough, and despite my 4th and 5th playthroughs having me playing poorly in the fight I have yet to die a second time to Wolnir. Ancient Wyvern is the next closest at a total of 4 deaths over the 4 playthroughs I've fought him in so far.
For me the Decons of the Deep have always been one of the harder bosses for me, though on my most recent playthrough I finally managed to beat them on my first go. I'm not joking when I say that on my third playthrough (Luck/Dexterity Hollow build) I died more times to the Decons of the Deep than I died to DARKEATER MIDIR (Died twice to Midir).
Yes, the Decons of the Deep killed me more times than what is considered by many to be the hardest boss in the game. I summed Sirris just to get past the Decons of the Deep that playthrough. I don't find Midir to be that hard (I mean on my two most recent kills I died a combined total of three times), but the Decons, fuck them.
My first souls game ever was dark souls 3 and I killed the vape lord in one try mainly because I soon as I ran for the shiny and got jump scared I immediately ran all the way up the hill and when he got there he didn’t do his poison attack so i destroyed him
Mate, I LOVE your terminology! Blue Goobers? Your phrasing is great!!!
I just turned 17. Thanks for the gift DeMod
Happy Birthday Eli!
Thanks mate!
Eli Idk Happy birthday! Welcome to the 17 club!
eyyyy I turned 17 2 months ago! welcome to the club.
I love when vaati acts like hes angry. I know that sweet succulent voice could never be mad at anything.
For some reason i thought democracy was vatti vidya lol
I never clicked on a video so damn fast
Amazed you included the Deacons and not the Whack-a-Rat Vanguard, I literally don’t think I’ve had an easier time with a boss. Also as personal preference I find Oceiros and the Wyvern from DS3 ridiculously easy, every time I fight Oceiros he just kept on missing me like he didn’t know where the hell I was.
Praise the soulsborne or demon dark blood 3 or soulsshadowborne idk anymore 😂
call it Souls-games- thats it
The Febo nah that’s too boring
Daniel Fletcher don't you mean dark blood soulsborne.
Jordan Groves yes...maybe it’s confusing idk what’s going on anymore 😂
Soulsborne: Shadows Die Twice
You deserve many, many more subscribers. Great videos man!!!!!!
Lol love seeing my twitch name scrolling in the chat, in the few clips that show the text lol
I like the way you did your old top 10 videos better with the little intro graphic to each boss and show some stats on it like votes or your opinion I hope you bring that back and future top tens
Love your vids dude literally my fav you tuber
Thanks for the love Josh!
That's okay dude your videos actually helped me beat alot of bosses on bloodbourne so even more thanks 😂
Mine to
Josh Ley his videos were the reason I got into the series
sealdog derp that's awesome tbh I love you series before I found his vids but he's helped me improve on the games
Surprised One Reborn from Bloodborne wasn't mentioned. It's amazing how quickly it will die and how easy it is to combo.
soldier of godrick:
So my speed bump in Dark Souls is always the gaping dragon. I consistently get him stuck in a cycle of doing the easy to dodge and punish charge, which is why I always make a point of killing it in early game because of the massive boost in levels I can get from it.
Yea watching one of my favorite streamers play through DS1 remastered for the first time (his first soulsborne game) I realized the series gives you some of the best bosses in gaming history and some of the worst as well
Awesome vid Demod, keep up the good work
I would argue, that Deacons are harder than Dragonrider. At least Deacons dont kill themselves.
Михаил Пашковский unmmm whAT? If you don’t let the rider kill himself he could still one shot you if you’re not careful. The deacons on the other hand, you could just spam light attack to bulldoze through the deacons to easily kill the pope. You.are.
Михаил Пашковский wrong
The hype is real, Good to see you Demod
I think a lot of these bosses are more boring than they are bad. To me, a bad boss is a boss which has been made with unfair and un-fun mechanics. In my opinion, a boss like the capra demon is a terrible boss because it is so poorly designed. It is not fun to be stun-locked by hard-hitting enemies while backed into a corner.
sam hobson The Capra Demon is so terribly designed that it almost feels like a joke
Damn I'm realizing that many people had trouble with that boss, I only died once to the fucking dogs but otherwise I found the boss really easy. *in my first playthrough*
PepeZeFrog Everyone has a different experience. I had a relatively easy time with Ornstein and Smough, but Capra Demon kicked my ass.
@@MrPatrickbuit I almost beat smough and ornstein on my first try, i had killed ornstein and then due to one shitty dodge I got one hit by electric big mama Then I started failing and was stuck for a week.
PepeZeFrog Super Ornstein is a lot easier than super Smough from my experience, so maybe you were making it a lot harder than necessary
Love your videos! You are the reason I got dark souls remastered!
Hope you've been liking the game!
Prepare to CRY
All love and respect to DeMod the list king!!!!!!
I'm still waiting for Hollow Knight boss ranking. I assume who's going to be #1
It'll be the next big video!
theDeModcracy yes
Only a little while ago I spent ten minutes at wolnir waiting for him to stop using his sword
Surprised to not see bosses like Ancient Wyvern and Ceaseless Discharge on the list. Sure they could potentially pose a threat but so could any of the bosses on the list. You only really get hurt if you stand there and take it
I definitely would've gotten my ass kicked to Ceaseless, but I looked up strategies on the Wiki page first to prepare, so he was a breeze
The Deacons are my favorite on this list. It was just so much fun to strike them down with my huge sword.
*cough* "Dark souls" *cough*
*Shows footage of dark souls 2*
Dark souls 2 is good as well m8, may not be the best but it’s still good in its own way
He was coughing over the 2 part.
The Fantastic Paul he clearly doesn't say 2
I think he was talking about the entire Dark Souls series, or he forgot to say 2
You mean dark hack and slash 2.
PM and congregation were one of the few bosses I beat first try in ds2, granted I had an npc phantom, but even then that provides even more of an example of how easy it is if the npc doesn't die
maiden astraea?
By accident, I entered pinwheel by equipping a new shield with better resistances to his attacks and as a result went over my equip load without realising. I went on to still beat him with just 4 flasks left on my first play through thinking he put a spell on me that made me go slow xD
Easiest boss was final boss of dark souls 1. 3 parries.
Amazing vid ! you should make Nioh video too !
I actually found moonlight butterfly harder than O and S, harder than kalameet, and harder than Manus on my first playthrough. I died twice as many times to it as I did to those three fights combined. Why? I somehow thought it was the progression path and was extremely low level having not even killed the gargoyles. Not only was I weak enough to die in two hits, I had no humanity to kindle the bonfire and my barely upgraded weapon necessitated four rounds of hitting the damn thing. I nearly quit souls forever when i beat it and found it was optional.
I find it impressive that you even got there. I found the area before the boss fight much harder than the actual boss. Hate those stone knights and their tranquil walk of peace.
Eventually I stopped trying to fight them and just ran past. I didn’t think there was anywhere else to go.
Same here! On my very first playthrough I was even fatrolling, was really low level and still used the bandit knife.
Despite being pretty easy I like the Moonlight Butterfly fight. The music is awesome and even today I find the enemy modell really fuckin cool. Just looks beautiful and mystic, so out of place in the area... Actually this got me into reading the lore much more.
I agree, it looks quite majestic and mystical. I didn't see at first though. I was too fixated on its staff head to really think more about the butterfly part. I find most of Seath's creations to be majestic but at the same time they're grotesque and disturbing. The dichotomy makes them even more interesting, in my opinion.
I think these things make DS1 the best in the series. DS2 was really generic with the enemies, I cant really recall anything original or interesting. DS3 is better in this regard, but doesnt have the "Whoaaaaa" factor as DS1 had.
Moonlight Butterfly, Seath, Priscilla, Kalameeth, even Artorias despite being "only" a knight. Hell even the Bed of Chaos is impressing on the first glance just as a sight to see (until you realize this is the shittiest boss of all time). Even some minibosses. Seeing the armored boar for the first time I thought it was the coolest enemy ever.
8:11 i can't believe it took me 3 years to finally get that joke/reference
Yes
For Wolnir did anyone else have him run so far up his arms would actually clip through the wall so you can’t hit him? For me he also summoned enemies that legit can’t take damage.
Yeah if he lives long enough to summon skeletons he can pose a greater threat
Dark Souls Remastered is inferior to the original.
Aron 2018 remastered isn’t better than the original with DSFix and SweetFX, could run that at 60 FPS just fine and it looked better than the remaster, only problem was the ladder bugs really.
The remaster was pretty pathetic, I was honestly expecting them to make it look like DkS3 which would’ve been amazing, but it was just a quick cashgrab aimed at console players really.
The Gaping Dragon, literally all you have to do is charge the side of him, dodging the occasional hand swipe and attack is tail.
you know what makes the covetous demon even easier?
if you shoot the hanging vases hanging from the ceiling, they will fall and the boss goes and eats them, he doesn't even attack
I’ve noticed a lot of my friends struggle with the Four Kings from Dark Souls Remastered but it was a literal cake walk for me. They do little to no damage and don’t move hardly at all. Am I the only one who feels this way?
Pinwheel's big attack is literally filling the room with pinwheels and making it so it's impossible to dodge his fireballs. the only way that happens is if you're at a low level, don't know to kill the adds, and soloing the boss with an un-upgraded weapon.
10: Living Failuires
9: Witches of Hemwick
8: Moonlight Butterfly
7: Deacons of the Deep
6: Celestial Emissary
5: Pinwheel
4: Wolnir
3: The One Reborn
2: Micolash
1: Mergos Wet Nurse
I was actually surprised to not see The Old Iron King on here
Something I never see mentioned about covetous demon that makes him even EASIER is that you can shoot the cages on the ceiling to drop some fodder guys to distract him so you can attack him without him even noticing you. He literally doesn’t fight back.
Pinwheel you don’t even have to attack because you just summon the paladin before and just dodge attacks while he does all the work
Elden Souls: Bourne Twice
I just went up against Pinwheel in my first NG+. I had forgotten how easy he is to the point where I thought that he had teleported after I hit him a few times because he was starting that animation.
Quite a shift from the brutality that was ascended Ornstein.
Beating demon souls back when it was newish was one of my all time feel good victories in gaming! It didn’t matter that the end game boss was not a threat-it made sense and fit in perfectly with the depressing souls tm atmosphere-getting to allant in the final run was the challenge for sure, so i would have thought you might include that run as part of his difficulty. Just my opinion; pinwheel was just a btw joke! Awesome video @theDeModcracy-keep up the awesome work!
Admittedly, I did die to Pinwheel once even though I came to fight him mid game. That was due to me being unsure about which was a clone and which was the real Pinwheel and I got spammed by Pinwheel’s clones’ (and likely Pinwheel’s) fireballs all within the span of three seconds. That was what killed me.
I killed him the second time (and no, I didn’t summon Leeroy, I still don’t know where his summon sign is).
There are several bosses in the series you don't even have to fight. You can summon an NPC to do it for you and they'll win every time.
You can get to Witch to kill the moonlight butterfly for you before it lands (sometimes. Her AI is pretty bad.) We also can't forget his majesty Black Iron Tarkus beating the Iron Golem for us. In Dark Souls 2, Jester Thomas kills Mytha on his own, assuming you drain her room of poison so you don't die yourself.
I'm sure there are other bosses in the games beatable by NPCs but those three are off the top of my head.
Personal I agree with your ratings but I definitely think even thought some of the boss are easy their lore is extremely well done
Agreed. True King Allant has great lore and the fight represents it well, but it's absurdly easy as a result
theDeModcracy I agree the fight is extremely boring but yea it definitely makes sense with the lore but I am not going to lie I wish one or 2 of these boss would have been either improved or removed
What makes Pinwheel in my oppinion even easier is that you can summon Paladin Leeroy for assistance, who will happily beat him for you with no input on your behalf required in about 3 Hits.
I recently fought pinwheel after beating quelag and ringing her bell and all I'll say is that going through the through the area to reach him is way harder. I was about lvl 40 with a divine morning star and +5 etosc, I let a few clones gather, I gave him a fighting chance, I still bent him over.
Abyss demon. First boss of Dark Souls. Only time I ever dies to him was practicing parties above him. And than seeing what would happen if all those pillars were destroyed.
I don't think the ds community counts him since he kinda serves as the tutorial
