"This land is peaceful, it's inhabitants kind." Bitch PLEASE, I had to wade through hordes of hollows (some of which were fucking diseased; whilst toxicing me with the equivalent of the Black Death, and some phalanx looking abominations who proceeded to turn me into a human pin cushion); proceed to get run over by a nest of cocaine driven, bone-wheeling undead trolls/gankers; and flocks of bird-woman amalgamations who continually kept skull-fucking me to death. Not to mention the giant undead dragon and big fuck-off bodyguard outside your arena, who had no problem sending my ass back to the bonfire! P.s. I'd like to clarify this is more of a joke comment then anything, and is meant to represent more of the collective Souls fandom's opinion of the painted world of Ariamis. After I read r2mico373's comment I was reminded of Vati's joke video about the painted world, and I do actually like Priscilla as a pretty WAIFU/NPC. But in all seriousness, FUCK THE PAINTED WORLD OF ARIAMIS!
Fun times as always in the comments my friends. I'm off to work a bit on the Overwatch rankings (which barring any setback will be up around this time tomorrow!) and then I'm gonna play some games. If you haven't already added me on PS4, you are welcome to: PSN: theDeModcracy. I'll be getting Dark Souls 3 on steam soon as well, ID: theDeModcracy. One other thing I want some input on. I'm going to need to do playthroughs of all the Bloodsouls games very soon to get footage for more rankings/top 10s. Would you all be interested in me streaming my playthroughs? If so, I'll look for a way to record and stream at the same time, and then I can upload the streams in their entirety for anyone who can't be there. Let me know your thoughts, and thank you all again for supporting this series!
The Shit Dark Souls 2 got on its story always pissed me off. Vendrick's story and how it parrallels the journey of your chosen undead was really cool. And the surprise of fighting a Shard of Manus instead of King Vendrick himself was a sweet twist. Finding such a powerful man reduced to a broken Hollow was a great moment that left me thinking...wait..He's totally gone? then who is the Bad guy?
James Loucks the bad guys are the Four Queens *(Three Queens since of them turned good thanks to my man the Ivory King)* which are all shards of Manus in different ways. They want to take over the wold and let the Abyss consume it all, destroying it in the process.
@@testrun2985 They weren't motivated by the abyss and they happened to be queens by pure coincidence. Each shard of Manus was driven by a singular emotion, one of the parts of Manus that caused him to go absolutely berserk. All of them sought to fulfill their desires, but that happened in different ways: Nashandra was the soul of Greed. She was the smallest of her sisters and desired power more than anything else, power to make up for her weakness. She sought the mightiest king of them all, Vendrick, who was the closest to obtaining the Throne of Want, and took his power for her own. She couldn't tolerate sharing power because it HAD to be hers alone. Elana was the incarnation of wrath, but it is not known what she sought from the Sunken King. All we do know is that when Sir Yorgh of the Drakeblood Knights showed up and skewered Sinh while attempting to get his blood, the toxic plague that swept forth from his body killed everyone except Elana and pissed her off, so she accompanies Sinh and gathers souls in preparation for her revenge. Alsanna was the shard of Fear, and initially sought out the Ivory King to use him to protect herself, like a parasite. But the Ivory King gladly accepted to protect her without saying anything, and made sure she was safe. So valiant, proud and powerful was the Ivory King that eventually Alsanna overcame the primal fear inside her through the help of his courage. When the Ivory King made his final sacrifice for his people, and left to hold back the Old Chaos himself, Alsanna dedicated herself to honoring his wishes and remains in Eleum Loyce to keep the Old Chaos at bay forever. Nadalia was the final shard, but we don't know what emotion she was based on. She was seeking out the Iron King, who ruled a vast and powerful kingdom in his prime, but when she arrived, she was too late. The kingdom had fallen ages ago and the Iron King had been corrupted beyond recognition. In despair, she lost her physical body and her soul clung to the rusty relics of the Iron King's era. Eventually, Raime, the Fume Knight, arrived at Brume Tower in his exile from Vendrick, and fell in love with her, dedicating himself to her. I don't believe it is known if Nadalia even knows he is there.
@@OGXenos Im gonna say Nadalia probably represents image as she cloned herself all throughout the tower buffing the enemies and Raime. Since she scattered throughout she probably doesn’t want to be forgotten.
+theDeModcracy Seriously Man Troll 2 was my favorite "bad movie" in high school. Actually watching the movie blew my mind with how hilariously awful it truly is.
+Jake Rose oh and I honestly can't remember laughing as hard as I did when you made that booty joke lol especially the "too sexy" warning. Your videos are beyond entertaining.
"Reindeer F*CK land!" Lol, that should be the official name for that area. Also with Freja if you hold a torch its as if those baby spiders dont exist since they just run away from you if you have one out.
I actually think Gaping Dragon is my #1 favorite boss in Dark Souls... I love the creature's design and lore so much. It really is a stunning, super bad-ass, and unique boss design. Also, the arena is gorgeous and the soundtrack for the fight is EPIC. The fight itself is lacking in variety and intensity but I still always find myself wanting to fight it over and over again.
I definitely wouldn’t call it my favorite but I definitely like it because it’s one of the few bosses that I really feel proud taking down in this series. Most of the really hard/more famous bosses tend to have pretty tragic lore which weighs down the fight a bit. The Gaping Dragon is simply a powerful foe you need to take down to continue your quest and that’s what I love about it! It’s no Artorias, but it’s not depressing either!
I still always thought John, Paul, George, and Ringo was one of the easier bosses in the game. Though, that's just my high DPS talking, but I always found it boring.
These are so well made. Every time one part is over I want to immediately jump into the next one. But alas, these videos take time. Keep up the great work man. Can't wait for the next one.
+theDeModcracy No, thank you for the awesome content. I must ask you something though. Would you agree with me that Four Kings looks like a Final Fantasy villain? I can't be the only one who thinks that.
Yo, big fan of your work, but can it be that you fucked up the Difficulty raiting at a lot of bosses? 10/10 on the last giant and then like 3 seconds later you say that the boss is easy.
Appreciate it MMOGrind. The difficulty rating is based on fairness of the challenge and if it makes sense in the context of the fight. Last Giant is perfectly balanced for a first boss, so he got a perfect score.
it took me about 6 hours to beat chariot, mainly because of that shit ass run up. too this day i hate him the fucking most of any boss in any souls game, thought DS2 being my first ever souls game might hve been part of it.
Great series man, I wonder who your top 10 are! mine are 10. Pontiff 9. Sir Alonne 8.Abyss Watchers 7.Lydwig holy blade 6.Kalameet 5. Lady Maria 4.Twin Princes 3. Ornstein and Smough 2. Artorias 1.Nameless King Just my opinion
+theDeModcracy Hey, I really hope this isn't a typo or something but the last giant is 10/10 difficulty which ends up giving it a score of 50/100. If it was 1/10 like it's supposed to be his score would be 41/100.
I really love this kind of videos, its just interesting for me to see how you speak of each of the bosses. Waiting for the second part of the overwatch ranking and for this next entry. Thanks a lot man!!
Shtine. Most surnames containing "stein" are either German or Austrian, where "st" is pronounce "sht." Names like Einstein were Americanized and lost the "sh." So Ornstein can be pronounced "orn-stine" or "orn-shtine." That "orn-steen" crap is just straight up wrong.
Really surprised there hasn't been a comprehensive list like this yet. You're doing a really great job presenting the material. Finish that uncharted series!!
There is more to the Executioner Chariot. You can actually attack the chariot as it passes and when it gets to low health the chariot misses its jump at the end of the track and is hanging off the edge, then all you have to do is walk down to the end of the track, hit it once and it falls to its death.
He has been doing it only for about 6 months (dont quote me on that) and has only made "darkborne" content for about 2 months. I expect him to reach 100,000 within a couple months
i am always super excited when a new video is coming up. I really love your rankings especially cause i never played demon souls or dark souls 2. Keep up the good work and much love
The Four Kings are my favorite "spectacle" boss in the franchise. I believe the environment is a huge reason because of this personally. The bleak black, empty world adds this oddly powerful pressure to the Four Kings that hasn't been seen in any boss before that point. The mechanics are also nice and all, so it's not like it's complete shit in terms of gameplay. It's a set of bosses that deserve the title of a "Lord" because just how unfathomably powerful the beings are presented, because of this environment. It's a boss that would be higher on my personal list because of the feeling it potrays, and how it does it so well.
Here's my take on the souls games. Demon: Didn't play it, no opinion. Dark: Great story, way too hard for me. (Yes, I know that was the point.) Dark 2: More bearable to play, but not as good a story. Blood: Great story and Amazing gameplay. Dark 3: Right up there with Bloodborne.
Harry Guidotti demon souls is probably the worst in the series, but that's only because it wasn't as well developed as the rest (however you can make an argument ds2 is the worst)
Glad you're enjoying it Victor! It depends. I made save states so I could go back to certain bosses if I needed a particular piece of footage, but some of it is from previous playthroughs. I'll be playing through the games all over again very soon though!
First of all I want to thank you for the work and time you have spent on this content. I really enjoy this well thought list. For me it is one of the best dark souls content. Still I have to disagree on the Four Kings rank. Difficulty 3,5: The fight for me feels really fair and different what you faced before in Dark Souls. The concept of fight aggressiv or you will punished on a open field (not like Capra Demon) was something different, especially supported with an easy moveset. I think this one of the fairest difficulty for the first playthrough. Lore 13: Can´t argue with that. Design 16: I think you did not include how you encounter Four Kings. You drop in nothing and did not know what happened and suddenly there is an epic looking out of nowhere. The first time I faced against this boss I was thrilled and electrifyed. Entertainment Value 27: It is hard to argue with that, because it is a very subjectiv opinion, but every time I dodged the lateral hit of him I feel like a badass who flys over a gigantic sword. Sorry for my english. P.S.: Oceiros is better than every boss on this list besides the Four Kings. Great work, looking forward to your next video
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the vids so much! I never really looked at the difficulty from that perspective, you definitely make a good point on the openness of it in contrast to a boss like Capra Demon. You might be right on the design as well. Maybe the boss has lost a bit of the luster for me over multiple playthroughs. I can't totally see why you would have it higher up on your list. Your english is very good and thanks for the insightful comment!
Four Kings, fun? Dear God, what drugs are you taking, where can I get them, and how much do they cost? Seriously though, I love you rankings and can't wait to see more of your content.
I swear, the best is when you accidentally knock off one of Freja's faces- it just rolls around on the floor as you roll, dodge, and try not to get swarmed by spiders to death, like a soccer ball.
It's not very clear but the difficulty rating doesn't represent just the difficulty of the fight but also the fairness of the difficulty. That's why the Last Giant is 10/10 in difficulty. It's not a hard fight per say but considering the point of the game in which you fight it and the mechanics behind the fight itself it's a very FAIR fight.
It's not how difficult the fight is, it's how appropriate the difficulty is for the fight. A 0/10 would be a boss that's either unfairly ridiculously difficult or disproportionately easy, wherein a 10/10 would be perfect for its role in the story and point in the game.
four kings? harder than manus? ok. simple strat. Stone or Havels armor with 20 estus and any weapon, poise and out dps them for an easy win. the kings are a joke
The four kings are probably one of my favorite bosses in souls. How do they get half the difficulty rating of the phalanx and the last giant? Those bosses are laughably easy and the four kings are always a thrilling challenge.
Right as I was hankering for a new video, this comes up. It's like you're reading my mind or something. So anyway, should be some interesting stuff in this one.
I think it's more likely that Priscilla is the daughter of The Nameless King and a female dragon. Why would Gwyn be ashamed of her if she was Seathe's? Also, this would explain why the Nameless King sided with the dragons, he fell in love with one of them
Great video man! Keep up the good work! Also, I decided on getting Bloodborne and I'll be playing it in the next couple of days, thanks for recommending it!
Fun Fact. There's actually 5 'Four Kings' If you take too long a 5th one shows up. However if you have really high DPS and a katana you can actually make the real Four Kings take bleed damage as you kill the underlings. Since the Four Kings health bar is linked to an invisible boss and it mirrors what damage the Four Kings take. (If you use a Chaos weapon you take 40 damage every time you hit instead of 20 because of the simultaneous damage.) I actually only killed 3 'Four Kings' and hit the fourth a couple of times to kill him the first time I fought him.
I think you may need to start explaining the scores at the beginning of each video since half of the comments are "last giant 10/10 difficulty wtf". Anyways, I thought gaping dragon was one of the easiest bosses ever. I was so scared when I first saw him but he just sat there and let me destroy him lol
He has, the difficulty rating is for how fair/challenging the fight is and if it makes sense with the lore, the higher the rating the better designed the fight is.
+HEROD Masta but they haven't been explained. He doesn't explain it every video so they have no idea. Anyone who checks out these videos but hasn't seen the first in the series is gonna be like wtf this guy is crazy.
I just baited his charge attack, walked out of his way (because once he stops he will go in that direction regardless if you're there anymore) and then chopped his back.
he means its perfectly scaled in difficulty for where you fight it, it doesnt mean its too hard, he has explained that several times across this series
Phalanx will always have a place in my heart, my first real boss in the souls series and he taught me how to think in the game because I played demon Souls when I was 12 and I had no real knowledge of strategy or learning game mechanics and Phalanx kick started me helping me find enjoyment in games beyond the Souls series as well
it's context sensitive, he's a future version of the giant lord who you already killed, since you bested him before, and he's weak after being impaled, plus his will for vengeance makes him very weak, I still agree 10 is a bit high but it's not just straight up how hard a boss is.
I was thinking of inventing of a legendary pokemon but things got complicated so I waited later to allow pokemon to be created and invent the platypus earlier
I just thought a few minutes ago: "I think I'm gonna check DeModcracy's channel to see if there's any new video" and there was none. Back to the TH-cam Home, there it was. Gonna watch it now, but I'm already sure that I'll have a lot of fun. Hoping to see more of DS 3 bosses from now on
IMHO the Four Kings are the worst boss in DS after the Bad of Chaos. Lore sucks - Gwyn had just given them shards of his soul. Not to his four knights, not to his children, but to some random fuckers from random city. Mechanics is OK, but could be way better. And the worst thing - you can't efficiently beat them as a Giant Dad, because the Abyss takes away one of your rings. It makes me a filthy casul.
Despite my hate for starting anywhere but the beginning of a series, I feel really good for starting with DS3 because of how well it's doing. The bosses left will be quite high on the list, I imagine, and maybe even a DS3 at number 1. Love you DeModcracy, keep up the good work!
+theDeModcracy welp love the vids and seriously cant get enough of this series right now. i figure ill go back and do souls 1, maybe do demon souls even though the gameplay amd graphics kinda kill me. i just finished bloodborne and currently on lady maria. theyre all just so good. i only wanna go back because i wanna do as many bosses as possible. its just so addicting
Another great video man, I swear i'm addicted to your videos. Anyways I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series and maybe for your playthroughs you could make a let's play or stream them or something.
Thanks Gruntmaster, appreciate the support. I have to play through all the Bloodsouls games again soon for footage and I'm looking into streaming at the same time!
a cool thing with the executioners chariot: if you shoot it with poison arrows as it does its run around it DOES get posioned, and if you do that and get him to about 30% health, he will fail the jump and fall, you can either hit him off or beat him down then
D mod your videos are some of the best souls videos ever, but just personally I would like to see more games like overwatch, you should definitely expand your games that are on the channel.
Well yknow, he tried doing overwatch lol. Seriously though, this list seems like quite a time investment, so I imagine when he's finished with it, he'll branch out a bit
Well if you look back at his older videos, he's played Skyrim and Fallout 4. I agree with you though. He's one of the best youtubers that I can think of.
For The Duke's Dear Freja, if you were paying attention to the spider's behavior to the torches, the mechanic carries over into the boss room. I was kind of surprised that the spiders become passive provided you kept your torch lit, and I kind of appreciate parts of DS2 where flame mattered (see the tar pits in Black Gulch with fire arrows). I think that was a neat mechanic, and once you lit the sconce in the web descent before the boss fog (or kept a flame butterfly jar handy) that you could trade damage for a safer, way easier fight. That 8 out of 10 drops pretty quick once the gank element is removed, and it's something abusable by anyone. In comparison, giving the Last Giant a 10 and the Four Kings a 3.5 is highly confusing. Hell, Four Kings consistently kicks my ass, even with an optimal build, buffs, whatever edge I try to get on them. And at least Vendrick killed me a few times.
Correction - there are more 'four kings' than four. If your dps is low then you can see more than four at once. Also, each 'king' has his own HP and total 'boss' HP is roughly 4 times each king's HP. But, depending on how you deal damage to them (IRRC 'boss' doesn't get increased damage for counter hits and similar things), killing 4 kings can be not enough to kill the boss.
The four kings is probably one of my favorite bosses in all of gaming and not just in soulsborne. It literally took me 4 tries to beat them and I felt like I was getting better and learning something every time. The first try I used the dragon tooth and didn’t put my shield up once and beat the first king but was then killed by the second. The next try I used the dragon tooth again and used my shield and made it through the first two but was killed by the third. Then I tried again using the black knight sword and got through the first three but was then ganked on by two others and learned I should be more aggressive than defensive. And it all payed off in my fourth try when I won. It was a satisfying feeling because I felt like I had actually learned from the boss instead of just trying until I won. Also, their design and attacks are some of the best in the series in my opinion. But you did make a good point about them being unique and having a different move set. It would’ve made the fight more interesting but to me it’s fine the way it is

Yes yes yaaaaah
Make top10 boss lore
It's will be fun to watch 😆

I had the same realization after seeing him do it lol.

nobody had the balls to try it before 0.0
+José Joaquín Delgado Pizarro yeah cuz no one wanted to run back
it took me about 6 hours to beat chariot, mainly because of that shit ass run up. too this day i hate him the fucking most of any boss in any souls game, thought DS2 being my first ever souls game might hve been part of it.
It's always so worth it to wait for these video to come out :) I love your editing and the commentary ! Awesome video.
Glad it's worth the wait Gypsy, thanks for watching this one!
Great series man, I wonder who your top 10 are! mine are
10. Pontiff
9. Sir Alonne
8.Abyss Watchers
7.Lydwig holy blade
6.Kalameet
5. Lady Maria
4.Twin Princes
3. Ornstein and Smough
2. Artorias
1.Nameless King
Just my opinion
That's a really good top 10 nightwish! I'd love to reveal mine, but we'll have to a wait a bit longer :)
+theDeModcracy Hey, I really hope this isn't a typo or something but the last giant is 10/10 difficulty which ends up giving it a score of 50/100. If it was 1/10 like it's supposed to be his score would be 41/100.
Damn this is one subscription I do not regret.
Happy I'm living up to your sub Sherif!
I really love this kind of videos, its just interesting for me to see how you speak of each of the bosses. Waiting for the second part of the overwatch ranking and for this next entry. Thanks a lot man!!
Glad you're loving the vids Steve. Overwatch part 2 should be coming tomorrow, thank YOU for the kind words and support!
My "stein" is the same as Albert Einstein's.
lmfao
Like "shtyn"?
Shtine :D
Shtine. Most surnames containing "stein" are either German or Austrian, where "st" is pronounce "sht." Names like Einstein were Americanized and lost the "sh."
So Ornstein can be pronounced "orn-stine" or "orn-shtine." That "orn-steen" crap is just straight up wrong.
How cute.
Really surprised there hasn't been a comprehensive list like this yet. You're doing a really great job presenting the material. Finish that uncharted series!!
I'm confused. Last Giant gets a 10/10 on difficulty but you spend half the segment talking about how easy it was?
I believe that's a rating for appropriate difficulty, as in It's appropriate as the first boss you (or at least most players) should face in DSII
Last Giant is very easy.
Last Giant is very easy.
Yet 4 Kings get 3.5 lol I'm terribly confused by his criteria for difficulty.
The rating is based off how appropriate the difficulty of the fight is considering where you encounter it and the lore associated with it.
There is more to the Executioner Chariot. You can actually attack the chariot as it passes and when it gets to low health the chariot misses its jump at the end of the track and is hanging off the edge, then all you have to do is walk down to the end of the track, hit it once and it falls to its death.
how do you not have more subs? your videos are so good!
Agreed
He has been doing it only for about 6 months (dont quote me on that) and has only made "darkborne" content for about 2 months. I expect him to reach 100,000 within a couple months
He started like 6 months ago on f4 mods dude.
I like how you not only offer your opinion but also tell how the boss could be improved. 10/10 would watch again
Vicar Amelia: you pronounced my name wrong
Demod: wait till I spank you in bloodborne then we’ll see who’s talking
i am always super excited when a new video is coming up. I really love your rankings especially cause i never played demon souls or dark souls 2. Keep up the good work and much love
I would love to see a top ten video on the best areas across the games. I don't know how you would award points but I'm sure you could figure it out.
really love this series, thanks
The Four Kings scared the shit out of me the first time i fight with them.
You kinda mentioned it in this video, but I personally would love a top 10 lore bosses video. Great vid as always!
7:06 Or in Sotfs just use a torch.
3:02 from personal experience i can tell that you were oneshot. hence the cut
Do you not think my waifu is pretty?!?
The Four Kings are my favorite "spectacle" boss in the franchise. I believe the environment is a huge reason because of this personally. The bleak black, empty world adds this oddly powerful pressure to the Four Kings that hasn't been seen in any boss before that point. The mechanics are also nice and all, so it's not like it's complete shit in terms of gameplay. It's a set of bosses that deserve the title of a "Lord" because just how unfathomably powerful the beings are presented, because of this environment. It's a boss that would be higher on my personal list because of the feeling it potrays, and how it does it so well.
Here's my take on the souls games.
Demon: Didn't play it, no opinion.
Dark: Great story, way too hard for me. (Yes, I know that was the point.)
Dark 2: More bearable to play, but not as good a story.
Blood: Great story and Amazing gameplay.
Dark 3: Right up there with Bloodborne.
Harry Guidotti Bloodborne and DS3 are easily the best in the series
Harry Guidotti demon souls is probably the worst in the series, but that's only because it wasn't as well developed as the rest (however you can make an argument ds2 is the worst)
Demon's Souls is a better game then Dark Souls, in my opinion. Dark Souls 1 is not great tbh.
Oh crap, didnt know the last giant was actually supposed to be the giant king, thats so much more awesome! Great video man .
This is such a great series! Can't wait for the next one! Did you play all the games again for footage for this series? :)
Glad you're enjoying it Victor! It depends. I made save states so I could go back to certain bosses if I needed a particular piece of footage, but some of it is from previous playthroughs. I'll be playing through the games all over again very soon though!
First of all I want to thank you for the work and time you have spent on this content. I really enjoy this well thought list. For me it is one of the best dark souls content.
Still I have to disagree on the Four Kings rank.
Difficulty 3,5: The fight for me feels really fair and different what you faced before in Dark Souls. The concept of fight aggressiv or you will punished on a open field (not like Capra Demon) was something different, especially supported with an easy moveset. I think this one of the fairest difficulty for the first playthrough.
Lore 13: Can´t argue with that.
Design 16: I think you did not include how you encounter Four Kings. You drop in nothing and did not know what happened and suddenly there is an epic looking out of nowhere. The first time I faced against this boss I was thrilled and electrifyed.
Entertainment Value 27: It is hard to argue with that, because it is a very subjectiv opinion, but every time I dodged the lateral hit of him I feel like a badass who flys over a gigantic sword.
Sorry for my english.
P.S.: Oceiros is better than every boss on this list besides the Four Kings.
Great work, looking forward to your next video
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the vids so much! I never really looked at the difficulty from that perspective, you definitely make a good point on the openness of it in contrast to a boss like Capra Demon. You might be right on the design as well. Maybe the boss has lost a bit of the luster for me over multiple playthroughs. I can't totally see why you would have it higher up on your list. Your english is very good and thanks for the insightful comment!
Four Kings, fun? Dear God, what drugs are you taking, where can I get them, and how much do they cost? Seriously though, I love you rankings and can't wait to see more of your content.
I thought the four kings was fun...
ah vordt of the orchestral valley. your 2nd phase musical was magnificent.
Really? The Gaping Dragon was a dragon that got so hungry it became a mouth. I always thought it was Seths fuck buddy
The wait is over.At last a Dark Souls Video
I really think sanctuary guardian should have ranked higher than Nashandra. It's a really fun fight.
I swear, the best is when you accidentally knock off one of Freja's faces- it just rolls around on the floor as you roll, dodge, and try not to get swarmed by spiders to death, like a soccer ball.
four kings difficulty: 3.5/10
really? They were literally harder than manus for me.
He put the last giant as a 10/10 difficulty so idkk
Look at this guy, still doesn't understand how the Difficulty Score works.
It's not very clear but the difficulty rating doesn't represent just the difficulty of the fight but also the fairness of the difficulty. That's why the Last Giant is 10/10 in difficulty. It's not a hard fight per say but considering the point of the game in which you fight it and the mechanics behind the fight itself it's a very FAIR fight.
It's not how difficult the fight is, it's how appropriate the difficulty is for the fight.
A 0/10 would be a boss that's either unfairly ridiculously difficult or disproportionately easy, wherein a 10/10 would be perfect for its role in the story and point in the game.
four kings? harder than manus? ok. simple strat. Stone or Havels armor with 20 estus and any weapon, poise and out dps them for an easy win. the kings are a joke
Yay new video. Anything starting 69 always ends in a good time.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The four kings are probably one of my favorite bosses in souls. How do they get half the difficulty rating of the phalanx and the last giant? Those bosses are laughably easy and the four kings are always a thrilling challenge.
Its not only about difficulty. Its also about fairness.
Right as I was hankering for a new video, this comes up.
It's like you're reading my mind or something.
So anyway, should be some interesting stuff in this one.
Glad I could deliver just in time. You never know, maybe I can read minds... ;)
Fighting Vendrick and winning with no giant souls was probably my biggest accomplishment. Broke 5 weapons in the process, but he died nonetheless.
Dang I was a little late to this one. The four kings sure get way harder though after the first time through. Like way harder xD. Keep it up man!
I think it's more likely that Priscilla is the daughter of The Nameless King and a female dragon. Why would Gwyn be ashamed of her if she was Seathe's? Also, this would explain why the Nameless King sided with the dragons, he fell in love with one of them
RadTicTacs But she's still a product of beastiality, it's just that it's now gender swapped. Still weird.
RayzeTheDragon Well the dragon's were sentient so I wouldn't really consider it bestiality but yeah, it's weird
Great video man! Keep up the good work! Also, I decided on getting Bloodborne and I'll be playing it in the next couple of days, thanks for recommending it!
four kings 3.5 difficulty. Vordt 6.5..
what?
Difficulty is a rating of how fair difficulty feels and not how hard it is.
Four Kings with low dps becomes a nightmare.
ナナシさん Yeah it's a DPS test, that's just the mechanic of the boss.
I once played a straight sorcerer in ng+ and was mostly fine until the four kings.
I ran out of ammo. XD
Stray demon as the best badonkadonk had me dying from laughter.
Wait how tf does anyone mispronounce Vicar!?
Fun Fact. There's actually 5 'Four Kings' If you take too long a 5th one shows up. However if you have really high DPS and a katana you can actually make the real Four Kings take bleed damage as you kill the underlings. Since the Four Kings health bar is linked to an invisible boss and it mirrors what damage the Four Kings take. (If you use a Chaos weapon you take 40 damage every time you hit instead of 20 because of the simultaneous damage.) I actually only killed 3 'Four Kings' and hit the fourth a couple of times to kill him the first time I fought him.
I think you may need to start explaining the scores at the beginning of each video since half of the comments are "last giant 10/10 difficulty wtf".
Anyways, I thought gaping dragon was one of the easiest bosses ever. I was so scared when I first saw him but he just sat there and let me destroy him lol
He has, the difficulty rating is for how fair/challenging the fight is and if it makes sense with the lore, the higher the rating the better designed the fight is.
+GOAToki I know. I'm just saying people always are fighting over it in the comments cause they don't understand
if people are stupid, they stay stupid, no matter how often you explain them shit
+HEROD Masta but they haven't been explained. He doesn't explain it every video so they have no idea. Anyone who checks out these videos but hasn't seen the first in the series is gonna be like wtf this guy is crazy.
I just baited his charge attack, walked out of his way (because once he stops he will go in that direction regardless if you're there anymore) and then chopped his back.
These videos give me life man.
the last giant 10/10 difficulty lol wut, who the heck even died to it
Ikr
he means its perfectly scaled in difficulty for where you fight it, it doesnt mean its too hard, he has explained that several times across this series
Ohhhh ok thx, i got that scale completely wrong then, my bad :P
These are very entertaining, I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one
Glad to hear it Gobul, I'll work hard to get the next one out as fast as I can!
is it pronounced golem or golem?
is it garage or garage?
is it pecan, pecan or pecan?
I don't know anymore! lol
+Ian Byrne Golen, Guerage and Pecam
Phalanx will always have a place in my heart, my first real boss in the souls series and he taught me how to think in the game because I played demon Souls when I was 12 and I had no real knowledge of strategy or learning game mechanics and Phalanx kick started me helping me find enjoyment in games beyond the Souls series as well
last giant difficulty 10 out of 10 Wtf?
And then he talks about how easy he is lol
it's context sensitive, he's a future version of the giant lord who you already killed, since you bested him before, and he's weak after being impaled, plus his will for vengeance makes him very weak, I still agree 10 is a bit high but it's not just straight up how hard a boss is.
if we killed the giant in the past,how can he still be there(btw i just found out he is the giant lord,i thought he was just a random giant
was just about to comment that
+MrDexter probably because when gwyn lit the flame everything became undead
great video man! but I've always been so confused by the fact that it seems you almost never lock on in fights?
Number one gonna be soul of cinder, or me
CHECK MATE ATHEISTS GOD IS REAL
Only God knows.
Literally.
So while I have you here, quick question. The fuck were you smoking when you invented the platypus?
I was thinking of inventing of a legendary pokemon but things got complicated so I waited later to allow pokemon to be created and invent the platypus earlier
I just thought a few minutes ago: "I think I'm gonna check DeModcracy's channel to see if there's any new video" and there was none. Back to the TH-cam Home, there it was. Gonna watch it now, but I'm already sure that I'll have a lot of fun. Hoping to see more of DS 3 bosses from now on
There's gonna be a lot of DS3 in the top 50! And I'm glad I could deliver just in time for you to be here early Gustavo
IMHO the Four Kings are the worst boss in DS after the Bad of Chaos. Lore sucks - Gwyn had just given them shards of his soul. Not to his four knights, not to his children, but to some random fuckers from random city. Mechanics is OK, but could be way better. And the worst thing - you can't efficiently beat them as a Giant Dad, because the Abyss takes away one of your rings. It makes me a filthy casul.
those outros are so hypnotic!
Priscilla is adorable though... That fluffy tail
Despite my hate for starting anywhere but the beginning of a series, I feel really good for starting with DS3 because of how well it's doing. The bosses left will be quite high on the list, I imagine, and maybe even a DS3 at number 1. Love you DeModcracy, keep up the good work!
why does your guy look...pretty terrible? i guess i get it and its funny but hes just an eye sore. no offense
Which one? lol
The blue ones haha
Haha they're all blue! I just like messing around man, I don't take it too seriously
+theDeModcracy welp love the vids and seriously cant get enough of this series right now. i figure ill go back and do souls 1, maybe do demon souls even though the gameplay amd graphics kinda kill me. i just finished bloodborne and currently on lady maria. theyre all just so good. i only wanna go back because i wanna do as many bosses as possible. its just so addicting
Another great video man, I swear i'm addicted to your videos. Anyways I'm really looking forward to the rest of this series and maybe for your playthroughs you could make a let's play or stream them or something.
Thanks Gruntmaster, appreciate the support. I have to play through all the Bloodsouls games again soon for footage and I'm looking into streaming at the same time!
+theDeModcracy Please stream I would love that so much
Awesome video! I've really enjoyed these
a cool thing with the executioners chariot: if you shoot it with poison arrows as it does its run around it DOES get posioned, and if you do that and get him to about 30% health, he will fail the jump and fall, you can either hit him off or beat him down then
These videos are great! Funny and accurate too. Not to mention the great editing... Thank you DeMod! Your channel is super cool!
Happy to hear you're enjoying the channel so much Francesco, thanks YOU for the support!
Love the video again. Four Kings are absolute hell on NG+ or higher just because of the insane amount of damage they can output. ;-;
I love the vendrick fight. He's one of my favorite ds2 fights.
Oh fuck yes! This is the shit I wait all week for!
Another great video dude!
D mod your videos are some of the best souls videos ever, but just personally I would like to see more games like overwatch, you should definitely expand your games that are on the channel.
Well yknow, he tried doing overwatch lol. Seriously though, this list seems like quite a time investment, so I imagine when he's finished with it, he'll branch out a bit
Well if you look back at his older videos, he's played Skyrim and Fallout 4. I agree with you though. He's one of the best youtubers that I can think of.
+Shadorenify yeah I agree that he is one of the best TH-camrs.
2:11 *gives Last Giant a 10/10 for difficulty*
10 seconds later: "the dissapointing part is that while it's easy this fight is not complex"
Your voice is awesome dude... it's perfect for this type of stuff keep it up
Glad you enjoy it Brock, will do!
For The Duke's Dear Freja, if you were paying attention to the spider's behavior to the torches, the mechanic carries over into the boss room. I was kind of surprised that the spiders become passive provided you kept your torch lit, and I kind of appreciate parts of DS2 where flame mattered (see the tar pits in Black Gulch with fire arrows). I think that was a neat mechanic, and once you lit the sconce in the web descent before the boss fog (or kept a flame butterfly jar handy) that you could trade damage for a safer, way easier fight. That 8 out of 10 drops pretty quick once the gank element is removed, and it's something abusable by anyone. In comparison, giving the Last Giant a 10 and the Four Kings a 3.5 is highly confusing. Hell, Four Kings consistently kicks my ass, even with an optimal build, buffs, whatever edge I try to get on them. And at least Vendrick killed me a few times.
The Giant Lord being the last giant definitely added some cool points.
Correction - there are more 'four kings' than four. If your dps is low then you can see more than four at once.
Also, each 'king' has his own HP and total 'boss' HP is roughly 4 times each king's HP. But, depending on how you deal damage to them (IRRC 'boss' doesn't get increased damage for counter hits and similar things), killing 4 kings can be not enough to kill the boss.
The four kings is probably one of my favorite bosses in all of gaming and not just in soulsborne. It literally took me 4 tries to beat them and I felt like I was getting better and learning something every time. The first try I used the dragon tooth and didn’t put my shield up once and beat the first king but was then killed by the second. The next try I used the dragon tooth again and used my shield and made it through the first two but was killed by the third. Then I tried again using the black knight sword and got through the first three but was then ganked on by two others and learned I should be more aggressive than defensive. And it all payed off in my fourth try when I won. It was a satisfying feeling because I felt like I had actually learned from the boss instead of just trying until I won. Also, their design and attacks are some of the best in the series in my opinion. But you did make a good point about them being unique and having a different move set. It would’ve made the fight more interesting but to me it’s fine the way it is
Very nice list, but 4 kings are my all time favorite ds boss. Keeps them coming.
Great video, as always.
I like the idea of the Top 10 Bosses based off Lore it sounds pretty cool
I think it's one I'll add to my "list to-do list!"
I was waiting for this all day lmao
Almost to the final 50, the hype train has never been so hyped!
I'm hyped to irok! Got your friend request on PSN and accepted by the way. Feel free to invite me if I'm online!
+theDeModcracy you got it man. I'll more than likely be on tonight sometime soon
Good video as always. Keep it up.
