Is this the most difficult boss fight in the souls series?

I'm actually stuck on this. Upgraded to lighting halberd and it takes me so many fucking hits to kill Ornstein.

No.
You were new to the series back then, thats why you remember it as being really hard.

>>387366793
This is how I did it:
1. Got Zweihander +5
2. Summoned Solaire
3. Spammed Ornstein with running R2 attacks with Zweihander (he can stagger)
4. Finished off big Smough with lightning Spear.

>>387366793
>>387366793
>lightning
>on Ornstein
I found your problem. Use lightning on Smough only.

not even the most difficult boss fight in its own game

I looked online for strat for this one :( just to ruin it for everyone else just focus skinny guy and you can kite fat guy around a pillar. just put fat guy on opposite side of pillar and attack when he does jump move and he will never hit you

>>387367664
>Summoned
might as well watch a lets play instead of spending your money senpai

>>387367734

maybe Artorias or Manus are harder 2bh

>>387367375
is there a game where that doesn't apply?

Gargoyles are objectively the hardest boss
Once you upgrade your gear, every other boss becomes a pushover except Four Kings on NG+++++++ who becomes literally impossible

It's fucking up there.

and yes, part of the reason is because of the camera and getting blindsided by whoever is out of sight. And that wouldn't be all that bad if they didn't hit like trucks.

>>387366712
Darkeater Midir took me the most tries but now that I know how to cheese him he's a bit easier.
Dark souls 2 gargoyles can go fuck themselves though.

The first time I played DS I made an absolutely shit build and died to them 50-60 times. I gave up cause I wanted to advance the story so bad and used a trainer. Second time I beat them with a pyro blade build.

Third time I went with a high strength Zwei build. I beat them the first try, with no Solaire (refused to cause I cheesed it first time)

Think it really depends on the build. Ive had no problems with any boss with a strength Zwei build.

If all soulsborne then oprhan of kos, without a doubt

Kill Smough first, Super ornstein gets easily stuck on pillars

what is considered the easy mode build for every souls game? I say
DeS - Int
DaS - Str/Piro
DaS2- Str/Faith

Havent played 3 yet.

>>387368674

I found Kalameet easier than Artorias or Manus.

Artorias took me a week of taking adderall and playing 3-4 hours a day just dying over and over. Manus took me 2 weeks. Kalameet took a couple days.

O&S were extremely hard too though

>>387366712

idk... but i beat them but ragequit against the last dude after getting instantly fucked like 30times

>>387371968
I didn't say they're hard. I said they're irritating. It's not a fun boss design when the whole fight is spent chasing after a dragon, getting one hit, and then having to chase it again

For whatever reason I can handle this fight with any weapon EXCEPT halberds.

Really? I found it very intense. Had to learn his patterns just to avoid the one-hit-KO:s.

this thread in a nutshell

>>387368674
I like Kalameet and Midir. My problem with Sinh is he flies around more than the other two and breaks your weapon after a few hits.

>>387376328
>Dark Souls 3 was incredibly easy, regardless of when you play it.
Nah. If the average "gamer" played DaS3 before any other souls they'd say it's difficult.
More forgiving stamina consumption? Sure, but to a newcomer the game is still going to be challenging.

>>387377074
>if you don't drain the poison
Why even do this? It's like fighting Kalameet without Gough shooting him down. Or Yhorm without using Storm Ruler. Just tedious and boring.

>>387376851
artorias is really predictable

>>387377087
I get what you mean. I guess I can't say exactly why I love the Kalameet fight so much.

>>387377243
All Dark Souls threads are like this

The only real hard boss in DS1 is Stray Demon

>>387376851
Sorry most people find that to be the easiest boss in the DLC

>>387376851

"Hardest boss" discussions are pointless.

But I'd say Artorias is arguably the best fight in the entire series.

Kalameet and Midir are fine, Midir's only problem is how massive his healthpool is

>>387376651
the zweihander can stagger both ornstein and smough with it's two handed R2. strength is just as viable as any other build, until you run into the four kings in NG+. for that i used ricard's rapier.

STR weapons are fine, but the damage scaling for STR is not worth the stats investment when you can get better damage out of Chaos or Lightning weapons and put the points into more useful stats

This is what I mean by STR build

>>387379232
so what does that mean nobody should ever build a STR character? not everyone plays this game specifically for pvp.

In DS1 STR doesn't offer any useful effects besides damage scaling on some STR weapons, so it's a weak stat to do a build around. Not gonna say you shouldn't do strength if you really want but you can just as easily make builds where you wield the same weapons, do more damage, and have more versatility from magic or higher VIT/END

>>387377059
Halberds have that penalty animation for missing attacks. Can leave you in bad position in S&O fight

>>387380307
I had no problem with Gwyn. My main issue with that bossfight is how Gwyn is really aggressive but at the same time it's an easy fight. It forces you to kill him fast and you can't enjoy the best song in the game.

>>387373219
But then you'd basically have no reason to unhollow yourself besides boosting bonfires. This is one of the most retarded design decisions in the game, there is no disadvantage to being hollow as that just wastes soft humanity which can be recovered from your bloodstain anyway.

>>387366712
I haven't even played through all of 2 and 3 or DaS, and I'm like %40 sure they're not the hardest. There's enough cheese strats you can use against them and all things considered, they're pretty tame compared to the other 'multiple-enemy' bosses in the series

>>387368010
>Gargoyles are objectively the hardest boss

Without weapon upgrading, easily. I mean, going down to Blight-town and defeating Quelaag off the bat isn't that much harder, they have by far the hardest moveset relative to where you are in the game and are only manageable because of their relatively menial HP compared to how fast you can damage them. Their attacks can fuck you over way more easily than O&S can.

"hardest" is BoC on a blind run. But even from a combat perspective id give it to kala/artie/manus before id give it to drake and josh.
Also flaming pupper in defiled chalice is by far hardest if we are including BB. If not then probably friede or midir on a blind run. But again, once you know what to do most bosses arent hard.

>>387379690
it offers useful effects like granting the ability to wield cartoonishly large weapons such as the dragon king greataxe and smough's hammer. like i said not everyone plays this for pvp, i really just like walking around with a giant fucking sword on my shoulder. also END is a vital part of any build.

That would be Sonic

Fetid, Rotted, Cursed chalice dungeon Loran Darkbeast is the hardest in the entire series in terms of optional bosses that exist without going to NG++++++++ etc..

>>387380307

Compared to DS3 Gwyn is remarkably slow, akin to just a standard silver or black knight. Back then he was a tough cookie but now it's amazing going back to it.

I had trouble with Soul of Cinder because of how relentless and fast he was.

>>387381670
Could just be a case of Bogey bosses, but I found Friede and Midir pretty standard in terms of difficulty. Took a few tries to get used to their patterns, now I can one-shot them pretty consistantly.

Meanwhile, to this day, words cannot describe the sheet fucking rage I feel even thinking of fighting the Unnamed King, to the point where I've only beaten him solo once and refuse to ever again out of fear of breaking something.

>>387381827
Nah, hotdog is easily exploitable. You can just wait it out until it vomits for a few cheap hits, you can just boop its nose consistently or cheese it with bow blade and ARC. Only way to really beat darkbeast is to have high DPS with a serrated weapon to knock it down, which is hard with half HP and how jumpy it is and how fucked the camera is.

Maybe laurence too purely because he has a hugeass hp pool

>>387366712
I never really thought dark souls was hard. It had some harder moments but overall it was alright. But yes, Ornstein and Smough was the most difficult when i played.

>>387382145
The loran darkbeast you fight going through the chalice dungeons for the first time is pretty easy. I'm talking about making one with FRC offerings and fighting the bastard. To make it even more bullshit, you can get a fight with it in an arena with a giant hole in the middle. I've seen screenshots of it, but never fought it myself.

Don't get me wrong magic can wreck anything since the patch. But I actually found it more challenging and exciting to smack things in DaS3 since enemies became faster.

>>387382698
>>387382518
Magic is OP in DeS and DaS, but it was nerfed for DaS2 and is utter shit, like you can rape Manus with 4 crystal souls spears in DaS, while most bosses can tank 20+ crystal soul spears in DaS2, hell most end game common enemies can tank 4+ soul spears in DaS2. Fucking Fume Knight have magic resistance and only take like 200 damage per crystal soul spear. You deal way more damage with a magic weapon than using spells.

Probably for the best. I killed many bosses with just 2 soul geysers

>>387383507
>soul geyser
Souls Geyser deals like a third of its original damage with the latest patch. Also casting speed was doubled.

I think it's either Demon Prince or Artorias. Both bosses just don't let up and Demon Prince has two health bars with the second being extra long. Even with all the iframes you get in ds3 it was a challenge.

>>387383313
While magic was nerfed to the ground in DaS2 (which is only applicable on all DLCs). For me I think it's a good call to have magic as a support tool rather than your bread and butter for every situation. But I do get it that it screwed over the pure mage build in general and the people who ran with it in other playthroughs, which includes me. But I had fun with DaS2 because it felt like I utilized every tool in different situation even if it sometimes mundane.

Screw ADP though

Why do I have to stand around like a retard and wait for my laser to recharge if there's a bonfire in the next 2 meters. Plus the crowns are ugly with the armors I'm rolling with.

In the proper chalice he sure as fuck is. But of course this is comparing him to the other 'bosses' in the game so.....

>>387385686
Hotdog is probably my favorite FRC boss desu

Feels so satisfying to kill him without taking damage. But, the hardest boss to me is easily Orphan of Kosm

>>387366712
No, that's probably Midiri or any boss with an orphan operating the camera. Not easy by any means though. Probably my favorite boss of the series.

On first playthrough sure he can be a bitch but he only gets easier with each run. Parry, backstabs and overleveling can make him a joke, most of the chalice bosses dont have those cheeses.

Abuse pillars retard

>>387366712

It's hard, especially when you're using a keyboard and mouse. I only won by charging Ornestein with a two-hand greatsword, and smacking him down by spamming attacks. After that, 1-on-1 was easier.

>>387367375
it took me hours my first run after having beaten Demon's Souls twice

>>387385914
I was using HMLS against him so that's probably why he kicked my shit in so many times. I consider his first phase to be much harder than the second phase, only issue with his second phase is that he won't stand long enough for me to get a hit in.

I've poured so many hours into this and out he souls games, but the Four Kings boss fight is the stuff of my fucking nightmares to this day.

>>387385686
I'd say the Amygdala fight right after is even harder. Unless you get lucky and get some viscerals in, the fight is insanely long, took me around 13 minutes of not getting hit more than once (by a regular attack, some attacks will one shot you). Headless Bloodletting Beast is also a massive pain in the ass with that one punch that has no safe zone, and the retard hitboxes that put DaS2 to shame

>>387366712
flamelurker from DeS will absolutely wreck you in a blind run, doubly so if you never played anything else from the series. he has a ton of cheeses but if you don't know them then it's a lot harder.
False King Allant is also pure adrenaline without cheeses and a beast. i feel proud to have beat him legit in my first run through the game.

amy has a pure cheese that turns the fight easy. And bloodletting is pure rng, so i wouldnt call them harder.
>>387386612
Honestly the closer quarters really helped me trip up the spiders so i could have more alone time with rom. The more open classic areana gave the spiders too much space to move between one another.

I think you're right. Given just a little time to back away and strategize, I can kill anything. But Bloodborne's bosses never let up so I'm pretty fucked. My reaction time is just not good enough.

No, I beat it on my second try blind solo. Wasn't overleveled/using magic or anything like that. Literally the hardest part of that fight was getting to the damn room where those fuckers stand guard.

Now the taurus demon is another story...

Never tried the driver.
How many times you practice in order to know exactly where to stand and when to charge r2?

Manus was the hardest boss for me

>>387387307
Not long, when you have to farm Amy for gems, time stops being a factor really. You learn the fight like the back of your hand.
Did it first time on my lvl 4 run without getting hit because of how much farming I've done on it

Is it agreed that playing dark souls series as a dickass thief with a bandit knife is hard mode for a noob?
I find that I get absolutely rekt by all the bosses, but can parry, riposte and backstab my way through normal pve.
(and killed gwyn so easily! Ha!)
It's like I played darksouls and demons souls like they were bloodborne, way before bloodborne was even a thing.

>>387387395
Haha fucking badass!
I still spazz out and just panic as soon as boss music starts.
No matter how many times I've played the souls games and bb, I just can't stop panicking during boss fights.
It's crazy.

>>387387187

Slow, defensive, calculated. I recall Biggie and Smalls' ranged attacks being so predictable that I never had any issue simply backing away to heal.

Any boss that gets in my face (including the last boss of Dark Souls) is where I get screwed.

I think this got nerfed, but my first Dark Souls playthrough was built around Poise. I didn't even know what it did at the time (I play all my Souls games 100% blind), but it was a stat that never existed in Demon's Souls so I was curious and decided to stack it.

With so much Poise I was able to deflect lots of boss attacks, including Taurus' melee attacks, which trivialized much of the game while making the rest of the game harder. For example, IIRC, the wolf boss' attacks just ignore shields, so that was a pretty hard boss for me. The Four Kings was also challenging because of my low DPS.

IMO Laurence in Bloodborne is giving me hard time in ng++++... Never really had problem with Örnstein & Smomsh. Even Orphan is more sick than those two.

>>387387624
Turn music off, it really helps to take out a boss you're having trouble with.

>>387387627
How did you manage in Dark Souls 3? I imagine Champ, Nameless, Suli and SoC gave you trouble?

>>387387524
>for a noob
Probably.
Though really, the only hard mode in souls are self implemented gimped runs. Like no estus or level 1 and bullshit like that.

>>387387637
I've never beaten this guy.
Never beaten kalameet or midir.
Never beaten nameless King.

I just gave up after like 60 deaths on each.
But then on the dark souls games I use a bandits knife.
And on bb I use a sawspear and the standard hunter gear so I look like a pirate.
I can't adjust my play style and can never get fucking close enough to hit anything.

Good man, what build you going to run?

>>387380307
I beat Soul of Cinder my first try on my first playthrough, since then he's always fucked me up

I don't really get mad at it since the boss is just so fucking cool

>>387387904
Is that super terrible?
I dunno man, I can ace some bosses.
Hell I rekt smough and ornstein first go, and arseraped gwynn and most of the dark souls 3 bosses.
But anything that just gaps it when I try to slap it with my tiny dagger just makes me too fucking mad to fight.
And I can't change weapons, cos it's like a dumb rule I made, to play as a dickass thief.

>>387387970
I dunno, maybe go for cauliflower?
Never done full arcane before.
No matter what I always end up a skill or a quality build, using either whip or saw spear!

>>387376851
>telegraph all my attacks

No. Most DS bosses are ridiculous with move telegraphing but he was ridiculous

>>387388160
Quite a difficult run. You'll have trouble finding elemental gems early on and you'll have to take out Orphan quite early for Ayy. But it's a fun build. Maybe do 25 STR/50 ARC and run MGS, or wheel, that's a pretty solid build.

Is there a way to respec?
I actually have a character that I rushed the dlc on, so I have the parasite.
But that dude is (like always cos I'm useless at variety) a skill build

double fights done right
>fight ornstein and smough, who have completely different moveset which makes each of them unique
>you only have to kill one of them. They both have little HP during phase 1
>then the one you didn't kill fully restores its health and enters phase 2, with a significant increase to its HP and a new moveset

double fights done wrong
>fight demon in pain and demon from below, who look the same (well, their fire is a different shade of red) and have the exact same moveset
>you have to kill BOTH and they both have massive amounts of health
>then the last one you killed fully restores its health and enters phase 2. once again it's got massive amounts of health and spams projectile attacks which take forever to stop so you have to dodge constantly while being attacked by the demon's overly aggressive physical attacks

Can't respec in BB.
Also, this pic is before the DLC was released, so it's probably easier to rush DLC past Maria and get OP 20% bolt gems from fishmen

I think this is the only boss in the game that is obnoxiously hard the first time facing him but is laughably easy once you know what to expect

All of the dlc bosses destroyed me way harder.

It always kind of amazes me how simple Souls bosses are when you learn the basic mechanics. Most of the time it's literally just walking to the side of them because the hitboxes are usually pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk9qA46AT9c&t=1s

Also if any anons are stuck on Souls bosses, I find that not locking on can make it better since it'll help you feel like you have more control on the direction of your rolling and attacks.

I found it easy as fuck. Probably the easiest after kappa demon
