So I found Demodcracys channel while he was amidst his entire souls series boss ranking. I was lucky enough to count down the best bosses of the series along side him and it absolutely changed the way I obsess over these games. I've been a huge fan of his ever since and always craved more series rankings of the bosses as more content was added. I'm so glad to have found your channel while you are still growing (subbed to you when they were under 1,000 subs) and love this new series with the DS3 DLC, Sekiro, and Elden Ring added in. Keep the content going! You're doing great!
I was hoping someone would do this and I'm glad it's you. Just found your channel and really enjoy the content. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
controversial take: I love living failures Probably my favourite gank fight in the series. The music is ameazing and the arena is beautiful and wierd at the same time. If you have low dps this fight is extreamly tense and satysfying. I know it's terrifying but on my first playthrue I enjoyed them much more than lady Maria because I just parried the shit out of her
@@Nightwalk2 yeah but just because one boss is better doesn't mean the other is bad. Also I would argue that failures are better than shadows. Shadows have very annoying third phase and are generally far less cool than failures. The only problem with failures is their low difficult for most builds
Mist noble would be a mini boss and would be a separate enemy type in my book. Same reason why soldier of godrick won’t be in the rankings. Maybe I can clarify that in the next one for people!
To this day I haven't bothered fighting the Ancient Dragon, it really should bother my OCD - after all I fought the unnecessary unique chalice dungeon bosses purely out of a feeling that if I didn't it would be like an itch inside my brain! - but based entirely on everything I know about the boss it just doesn't. Maybe one day after I get the plat for Demon's Souls and it's literally the only From boss I haven't killed. Maybe... EDIT: First time I ever tried to play DS2 after doing all achievements on DS1 I actually gave up after dying to Royal Rat Vanguard multiple times, didn't touch the game again until I'd already plat Bloodborne and DS3 as well lol When I went back to play Scholar of the First Sin it was so laughably easy I can't even work out how I ever died.
I've seen a lot of people give it praise! That's why I had to give a lengthy explanation for that one. I don't really need to explain why the deacons are low for example lol.
if malenia is not on top 5 just because of the flurry attack i swear to god its been like three months since the game's release and its enough time to learn how to dodge it
What an original video idea that’s never been done before! I cannot think of a single youtuber who has ranked all the bosses from worst to best! Truly a groundbreaking video
I would've ranked the monkeys above the Witches myself, but that's mainly because I love the Illusion Hall as an area and I love swinging through it, much more so than the Witches' arena (points for the multiple levels tho). That said, this is a solid list so far!
If I had to actually do the puzzle aspect I would’ve put the monkeys many places higher. Too bad, cause the ideas are so cool! Witches at least has a combat component to it still which is nice, but you make fair points.
I agree with your placement of Covetous Demon - he is bad, but not as annoying as many other bad bosses. One thing I disagree - I like the Last Giant, I would put him higher.
So many of DS2's bosses would have been great if they had, like, twice as much HP. Covetous Demon's fight has actual mechanics! You can knock the bodies hanging from the ceiling down to distract him as he compulsively eats them, but there's no reason to do that when you can already just kill him in under a minute.
The thing I hate most about the Living Failures is that after managing to best Ludwig, taking out Ebrietas, and absolutely demolishing Logarius on my first attempt, I still cannot kill those fuckers.
bro me too i bought the dlc on ng3 after ludwig absolutely ripped me a new one, i went to living failures and now i feel like a living failure still haven’t beat them
Fair enough, though like I said I give leeway to first bosses as they're meant to teach you how to play rather than necessarily just be an "awesome" boss - and I was really really disappointed by Corrupted Monk. In isolation, Corrupted Monk is a better fight though.
The Ape Gank Duo below the Folding Screen Monkeys??? At least you fight the two Apes with actual skill and the AI is better than the AI for the Godskin Duo or the Gargoyle Duo in ER. The brown ape is also decimated by firecrackers before the other Ape can even do much. Plus, they are almost optional, as you can circumvent having to fight them. I do not agree with this, like at all… I can see why, but I don’t think they’re objectively this bad. Still, great job at literally ranking ALL major bosses!
I actually prefer the corrupted monk over the true monk, she's one of my top favorite sekiro bosses. The true version has the same awesome flow in phase one but phase two is just a free stealth blow and her final phase is really annoying due to her unpredictable moves and the terror buildup. Corrupted monk is just her best phase without the BS and although it's sad that she's one of the easiest bosses to cheese if you fight her honestly she one of the most fun bosses in the game.
I'm surprised how many people didn't see this! The first video of the series was the top 10 worst bosses of the series found here: th-cam.com/video/i3cDnSJgRR0/w-d-xo.html
I have 2 main disagreements here: I don't see what's a chore about corrupted monk more than any other boss and imo he should easily be top 100. Valiant Gargoyles on the other hand imo should be around 20 spots lower.
Capra Demon boss stage is absolutely terrible, feels like an unfinished prototype. Hate that part, it throws me out of the game, as last stages and last boss, absolutely rushed development. Worst parts of DS1.
Glad to see Stray and Firesage Demon so low. Awful fight. Surprised you (or anyone else for that matter) haven't mentioned the abysmal AOE attack it does with staff swing. Such a horrendous move.
Fias champions over guardian ape? Really? Arriving at that place and seeing guardian ape again Is an awesome setting that you don't even mention, fia's champions is just terrible. Edit - just saw covetous demon and pinwheel ahead of the guardian ape and got even more outraged, also saying the corrupted monk is disappointing because he appears later in the game is ridiculous, how would you know he appears later in the game at the time?
Just discovered your channel and it's cool, nice vids, subscribed! However, moonlight butterfly is underrated (beautiful, atmospheric, not hard but so what)... Fia's Champions overrated!
You can say anything you’d like, it’s the internet! I am new to doing these so feedback is useful but it doesn’t mean I’m always going to implement it.
@@Nightwalk2 ok! I was thinking maybe if you have the time and money get a better mic? It doesn’t bother me it’s just a little noticeable. Love the content though man!
Gonna post before watching whole thing. Does this not cover every boss? like I can tell it does not by the fact that there only 152 of them and elden ring itself got like fucking 80+ of them or something. Reason why I ask it is cause deacons of the deep, while not the best boss, but also not shit. What they are for fact however, are better than DS2 magus congragation boss, which is way shitter deacons boss lol.
The first video in the series is the top 10 worst bosses, found here th-cam.com/video/i3cDnSJgRR0/w-d-xo.html And I’m only including what I would call main bosses. Not mini bosses, so things like soldier of godrick or twin tree sentinels will be absent.
What was your criteria while ranking these? Difficulty? Concept? How cool it feels to fight them? It feels like... you're just shoving them up there. Some of them doesn't make sense... it's like... I don't know, men, something is missing, not gonna watch all of it.
I said in the first video, it’s my personal enjoyment. This includes arena, lore, music, design, mechanics, etc. After I’m done fighting a boss, how I felt about it. I think I explain why I feel the way I do about bosses pretty clearly, but I guess not enough for everyone! Sorry you didn’t enjoy.
He explained it in the other video, it’s the “Top Ten Worse Soulsborne” video, figured the tell would be pretty obvious considering he mentions these picks being above others several times.
@@Nightwalk2 lol wait there is another video?? When I first saw the title was just 'Ranking Every Soulsborne Boss' and the numbers, it didn't have the words 'from worst to best'. I was kind of 'wtf is happening' because you started the list with a totally random boss, that's why I was totally lost. I'm so sorry! I didn't know there was another video, please forgive me! The title from this video I'm commenting was just 'Ranking Every Soulsborne Boss'!
Yes - your comment helped me add that. It had worst to best in the thumbnail but I added it in the title just to make it clearer. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the support! I love his videos too, I've been missing him making regular content...
I was hoping someone would do this and I'm glad it's you. Just found your channel and really enjoy the content. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I would have put Ruin Sentinels higher, as I personally think they are one of the better balanced gank fights in the series
Been waiting for the next part for this for a while now
Such a legend for making a series like this. Love your content recently keep up the great work
Seeing Nitto in a low position hurt me. At the time when only Demon Souls and Dark Souls had been released, he was a great symbol of the Souls series.
I’ve been watching all your new elden ring vids and had no idea you only had like 5k ur content is rly good man
Bro u are so dam underrated, your videos are insane and i love them, thanks for the dedication, keep up the good work🔥
Great video, looking forward to the rest of the ranking!
Living Failures' theme is top stuff though
Gotta say, though: Halflight's boss theme absolutely slaps
controversial take:
I love living failures
Probably my favourite gank fight in the series. The music is ameazing and the arena is beautiful and wierd at the same time. If you have low dps this fight is extreamly tense and satysfying. I know it's terrifying but on my first playthrue I enjoyed them much more than lady Maria because I just parried the shit out of her
living failures is fun as hell and the soundtrack fucking slaps
I could see not disliking them - but in bloodborne alone there is a much much more interesting gank fight (shadows ftw)
@@Nightwalk2 yeah but just because one boss is better doesn't mean the other is bad. Also I would argue that failures are better than shadows. Shadows have very annoying third phase and are generally far less cool than failures. The only problem with failures is their low difficult for most builds
What an exciting project You've just set yourself to begin and for us to tread alongside. Hope this content brings more curious souls to your channel
Id put Living failures higher simply because my their ost is god tier...literally in the top 10 of the series imo
In my top 20 souls soundtracks video they did make the list. Absolutely insane sound.
I have absolutely no idea how The Mist Noble hasnt been brought up yet
Mist noble would be a mini boss and would be a separate enemy type in my book. Same reason why soldier of godrick won’t be in the rankings. Maybe I can clarify that in the next one for people!
@Nightwalk 2 How can the hardest bosses in all of gaming be considered "mini" bosses??!! Smh /j
I rarely find up-and-comer TH-cam channels as good as this one. You earned my sub!
Awesome! I'm so glad to have you!
To this day I haven't bothered fighting the Ancient Dragon, it really should bother my OCD - after all I fought the unnecessary unique chalice dungeon bosses purely out of a feeling that if I didn't it would be like an itch inside my brain! - but based entirely on everything I know about the boss it just doesn't.

16:20 today I learned that there are Giant Skeletons in Nito's boss room. So glad I never aggro'd them lmao
I like your gentle sarcastic personality clashing with Dark souls dark personality
Dude your channel is exploding!! Your so underrated!! I’m rooting for you!
The middle section on the demons killed me 😂😂 "same shit but I guess different? Cool."
Hell yeah! Living Failures take based.
Dragonrider taught me how to count to six I won’t let you slander his name
Thank you for putting Ruin Sentinels this low. I sometimes feel crazy for hating that fight so much. I can do it, but it isn't good.
I've seen a lot of people give it praise! That's why I had to give a lengthy explanation for that one. I don't really need to explain why the deacons are low for example lol.
if malenia is not on top 5 just because of the flurry attack i swear to god its been like three months since the game's release and its enough time to learn how to dodge it
Controversial opinion from this particular list 😂. I really enjoyed Valiant Gargoyles. They were actually my pick for best gank fight in Elden Ring.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this series thanks man.
Glad you're enjoyin!
You are so underrated, great videos

@@Nightwalk2 And fair points on your own end as well. Cheers!
Aww, I love the Folding Screen Monkeys! I think I'm in the minority though 😅
I don't hate em either! All my hates are gone in the top 10 worst bosses video lol.
I agree with your placement of Covetous Demon - he is bad, but not as annoying as many other bad bosses. One thing I disagree - I like the Last Giant, I would put him higher.

@@TehCakeIzALie1 Yeah, Pinwheel comes to mind... He has great theme and backstory, but it doesnt matter as the fight lasts few seconds...
False corrupted monk so low is insane lmao
The thing I hate most about the Living Failures is that after managing to best Ludwig, taking out Ebrietas, and absolutely demolishing Logarius on my first attempt, I still cannot kill those fuckers.
bro me too i bought the dlc on ng3 after ludwig absolutely ripped me a new one, i went to living failures and now i feel like a living failure still haven’t beat them
fia's champions have other player created npcs randomly spawned so it's different everytime you do itm
Corrupted monk below last giant is insanity. Otherwise fun video
Fair enough, though like I said I give leeway to first bosses as they're meant to teach you how to play rather than necessarily just be an "awesome" boss - and I was really really disappointed by Corrupted Monk. In isolation, Corrupted Monk is a better fight though.
I respect you’re opinion but I actually really like the ruin sentinels great video otherwise
The Ape Gank Duo below the Folding Screen Monkeys???
At least you fight the two Apes with actual skill and the AI is better than the AI for the Godskin Duo or the Gargoyle Duo in ER.
The brown ape is also decimated by firecrackers before the other Ape can even do much.

I cheese capra demon every time. Fuck that fight.
Are you still going to post the elden ring dungeon/mini-areas ranking?
Yes! That might be my next video. Not 100% sure though.
Prowling Magus and Congregation
That's in the top 10 worst bosses video! th-cam.com/video/i3cDnSJgRR0/w-d-xo.html
the one reborn????? he’s not good but he’s not that bad jeez
the ruin sentinels are actually great though, git gud
Even the bad bosses in the games after DS2 are semi-alright by the nature of their game's respective gameplay. To an extent.
Capra Demon boss stage is absolutely terrible, feels like an unfinished prototype. Hate that part, it throws me out of the game, as last stages and last boss, absolutely rushed development. Worst parts of DS1.
U put fias Champions over guardian ape duo?!
Glad to see Stray and Firesage Demon so low. Awful fight. Surprised you (or anyone else for that matter) haven't mentioned the abysmal AOE attack it does with staff swing. Such a horrendous move.

That is ornstein in ds2 different cycle
Just discovered your channel and it's cool, nice vids, subscribed! However, moonlight butterfly is underrated (beautiful, atmospheric, not hard but so what)... Fia's Champions overrated!
Fair point! I Also don't hate moonlight butterfly as much as others, though I get why they do lol.
You hate what 🤨 12:21
Hmmmmm...... very well
Join the serpent king as family
Together we will devour the very gods
Nito deserves better
Perhaps. He kinda pissed me off on my last playthrough lol
dude what is up with this new trend where people log on to the internet and be wrong?
Bed of chaos is the absolute worst
Hmm i feel similiar jokes/segments from demods rankings.
It’s certainly possible! I’ve watched his videos multiple times each over the years so some might have melted into my brain unintentionally.
Do you take honest feedback?

And malenia?she is the worst
She is a flawed great boss. The worst boss is actually the Bed of Chaos.
Definitely not the worst to me. You may be very upset to see where she ends up.
