I know my normal upload day is a Tuesday, but after being sick all weekend, and practically fighting to get the script for this video done, I kinda just want to see it uploaded and public. Thank you to everyone who participated in the vote, I always enjoy doing these, and if you click on the link below, you can participate in the Chalice Dungeon Boss Community Poll, the video which will be coming out next week! forms.gle/WhwUHmZNTW3GLpKL7

Mikolash is like the Joffrey Barantheon of soulsbourne. He’s irritating, pathetic, sadistic, and the feeling you get when he falls choking on his own blood is incredible.

Hey man, I’m the guy who wrote the final review for the orphan of Kos! Words cannot describe how happy I was to have found that blood gem only for all that to be crushed after a quick Google search lmao

People signing the witches a lot but I think we need those easy bosses in the game to occasionally give you a moral boost. The witches, the deacons, and the four monkeys all give you a chance to feel better and more confident.

fun fact: sometimes after defeating living failures, one failure still stays due to some glitch. you can actually take this failure into the maria boss fight for a really cool double battle- the failure will even use the moon attack during the fight which can’t hurt the player but makes maria’s boss room have a dark sky effect.

Bro that witches story had me on the floor

every time i fight micolash, i do the poison knife cheese and i don’t feel guilty about it 💀

Fun fact:The amygdala that you fight isnt evil she just wants you to overcome your fear and free her of this plane so she can return to the cosmos

Ah, sweet child of Kos. I love that boss, terrifying when I met him, not even Malenia felt the same. Best boss in my opinion alongside Logarius and Maria

Time for the monthly bloodborne playthrough again😅

Idk why but I always had a tough time beating Lawerence. I of course struggled with the likes of Orphan and Ludwig but was always able to get their move sets down and get the better of them. However with Lawerence Every time i beat him it was basically me just fighting to my life praying I could get lucky lol

Y'all really make me feel stupid. The Living Failures are harder than any base game boss for me :(

I look up your channel and you drop this literally a minute prior that's wild

So happy to participate in this vote this time

i enjoy watching these bloodborne difficulty ranking video's and comparing them to my experiences, mostly because i feel my experience of difficulty was wierd, like against the one reborn it takes me multiple attempts to defeat it yet against father gascoigne i consistently beat him first try, even on my first run

Congrats on 20k! Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your content, and you deserve more views for sure!🙌

Maria is honestly my favourite Bloodborne boss and character. Her and Gehrman are the only bosses i refuse to parry. I love how her story is rold during the fight

i beat father gascoigne on my first try in my first playthrough of bloodborne. my ass was hella prepared for the ferocity this boss has. i dropped the game after beating blood-starved beast, because i didn't know where to go after killing him.

i love how different opinions on who is the hardest bloodborne boss. some people say ludwig, others say lawrence, and everyone else says orphan but billy just says gascoigne just for being an early game difficulty spike. oh yeah and a video idea: soulsborne DLC final bosses ranked worst to best (and we all know that the top 2 are from Ds3)

Vicar Amelia is my favorite boss almost purely because of her design. The transformation cutscene and the grand cathedral arena have always been so cool to me.

Hey Billy S! I posted the longer Gehrman comment. Thanks for the highlight. Great content as always!

wake up billyS droped new bloodborne video

I started bloodbornes DLC on NG+, and when I got to the living failures with my barely upgraded moonlight Greatsword, I barely scratched their health bar and they did half of mine, so im traumatized from those guys and now consider them an underrated boss in terms of difficulty

Amazing video you got a subscriber! Has me wanting to platinum BB all over again. You have to do a Sekiro community rank

the camera shifts against the the cleric beast got me the first time i played bloodborne aha

i did a bl4 playthrough without any papers or pellets and it was some of the most difficult stuff i’ve ever done, including cursed gem farming. lady maria and orphan took me days to beat, and living failures was extremely difficult and time consuming.

I will never get why gascoigne and orphan of kos are considered hard, only rayed orphan 10 because I died like 14 times to ludwig and expected insane difficulty, but I first tried him, only ludwig, logarius, and rom are above a 7.8

It took me about 4-5x longer to beat the living failures than orphan of Kos, Laurence, + Maria all combined. Even after knowing where the safe zone was within a fight or two. I am ashamed, but also so proud of how good I did the hard fights.

Gotta say that I love the Moon Presence, even if I wish it was harder. The idea that it's scared it can't control you cause you munched on some umbilical cords is really cool to me. The unrelenting OST sounds like it's more for the hunter, who's hunting their ultimate prey, rather than for the cosmic god that got trapped in its own cage.

"Ooh, what's that smell... The sweet blood, ooh, it sings to me! It's enough to make a man sick." Currently im doing my first playthrough. I defeated Gascoigne on my first ever playthrough first try and somehow it brought me more satisfaction then fights in other souls games that i had to deal with. This 6 minut banger of a fight felt so much more real then in different games, feels like you're fighting the opponent that you outclassing in his profession, you're a prodigy and he's an rusty old wolf that once was great hunter but now he just can't keep up with protagonist. And the qoute up there☝️? Man...I regret that Bloodborne wasn't my first or at least second souls game because then when i would hear this qoute i would shit myself and loose quadrillion times but now when I gone through Ds3, sekiro, half of elden ring and a bit of ds1 (not that impressive but still some experience) when I heard this quote from the old man, in my head i was like "let the blood flow, then!" And i just started maniacally laughing and entered some kind of focussed, cold ... professional...one could say, bloodlust. Well, then i killed him and what's the best part is that this fight was so fair and square, without bullshit attacks that you must die few times to learn them, that I can't even be mad. I'm just impressed that first try fight designed for new players to learn importance of parry, can be so satisfactory. Congrats Fromsoft. Because turning on this ps4 that i didn't use for like 6 years was made by you, one of the best decision I ever made in my gaming history. Ah yeah and f*&k Laurence man. He gave me ptsd with those cone of hitboxes at his every sweep. And in third phase he becomes basically becomes dmg sponge. This fight broke me and I've decided to use the summon for this fight. The soundtrack in this fight tho? Well i couldn't experience it during the actual fight due to Laurence's constant yapping xD But when i killed him and was able to hear the tune, I was like:"Well that sounds neat. So I've looked it up on yt and man this track literally made me cry and now i feel obligated to fight him in the next playthrough and live through this the torment... Good ol' 1v1 hatefuck with a unfair boss is a classy feeling indeed 💀

I recently replayed the game yesterday with dlc and I have to say that the hardest fight is orphan of kos, second place is Ludwig, third place is Maria. The rest of the bosses I beat in 1-3 tries. Bloodtinge build using chikage

Looking forward to watching this. When it comes to hardest bosses, I've always had an interesting experience with Bloodborne. Lawrence gave me so much trouble before until it clicked on day. Still not easy for me, but I understand the fight so much better than before. When it comes to main game, I would probably give it to Martyr Logarius. Number one would probably have to goo to Orhpan of Kos. The first time I played Bloodborne, I took him out on the second attempt. In my most recent playthrough, the son of a bitch took me two hours. Probably because of how aggressive he is and how much I kept trying to get distance. He's great at punishing. Oh, and the camera is the biggest FromSoftware boss. I recently replayed the Cleric Beast. The camera was wildin' out.

Martyr smashed me on my one attempt at lvl 4 playthrough... didn't expect it.

If i remember correctly, there was a second Phase plant for the moonpresence. I dont now if it still exists, but there is a chalice dungeon code who you can fight it. And holy s..., that was a tough one. Downside is, i was Stuck in that dungeon and couldnt leave it. So if this still works, remember to put a safe, i didnt😅

Souls games are so interesting because different bosses are harder for different people. I was so scared of logarius (only fought him on ng+) and beat him in one try. But I ALWAYS struggle with Amelia for some reason. My top 3 fights are (in no particular order) Lawrence, gehrman, orphan

I agree with the first voter comment on Laurence, I tried to fight him for the first time in NG+ (don't remember my level off the top of my head) with a mostly full healthbar and he one-shot me immediately

I completely agree with your point that Ludwig is much easier in phase 2. It feels like such a weight off my shoulders when I get there because hes much more predictable. In challenge runs for me personally it feels like a race to get there before I die. As for Laurence and Orphan I always go back and forth. On one hand Laurence, especially in NG+ cycles has a lot of one hot moves or combos he can grt you into and his fire after effects always seem to clip dodges. The crawling charge in the final phase, if you miss 1 dodge that initial counter damage plus the stun just spells instant death. Orphan despite being parryable I dont feel like it even makes it that much either. Ive played enough that I feel like ai can stand in front of Maria parry every attack never dodge, and kill her eith ease. The different timing of his attacks mixed with the fact he can swap between moves mid combo it feels like he always has something to catch you off guard and no matter how many times I play this game it doesnt feel like hes gotten much easier than the first time I fought him.

I have found a somewhat consistant way to dodge Ebriata's charge attack. Remove lock on and roll twice to her side right as she is about to hit you

I'm surprised there was no mention of pungent blood cocktails that can attract her attention. I learned years after getting her fight down, but goddamn does it make her absolutely trivial.

Billy... you beat orphan of kos FIRST TRY? I hope you know when you said that my mouth was wide open. Bro you are the true hunter

Good list, respectable and reasonable choices by the voters. I must now return to the bloody streets of Yharnam, as I have forgotten to do the celestial emissary fight lol. Have a nice day. 👍

Throughout my entire first playthrough of bloodborne i always played with lock on, Orphan of Kos made me realize that sometimes playing without look on is better for very aggressive enemies, phase 2 without look on is so much easier, not to mention that you get rid of the orphan´s worst attack: The god damm camera.

In my opinion what makes laurence the most difficult boss for me is the fact he was a dark souls boss in bloodborne. You have to unlearn alot of what bloodborne taught you and relearn classic dark souls to fight him. It's the same thing with how the demon is hatred is a bloodborne boss fight in sekiro. It's a boss that goes against the grain. Meanwhile I beat Orphan on my first attempt. Spent all of my healing items to do so but I did beat him on my first ever try. Laurence was already the hardest boss for me and for me personally it is because he goes against alot of the philosophy of bloodborne.

struggled so mutch with the nurse boss. its final attack were she spams the teleports damn

0:38 impossibly difficult... If Malenia without cheese is a 10, no other boss by FromSoft ever, even in Sekiro, is even a 6. Witches of Hemwick: Not actually the easiest, but can be with 0 insight obviously. Funny story, the trap spell once hit me and while my eyes were wiped out, the second witch spamed the magic AOE and this team up killed me. 26:08 "there is no way to cheese bsb"... Well there is... When I first played Bloodborne, I was super overwhelmed by many starter bosses, bsb included. He was really difficult to me to a point where I just ran through the arena and cried for help, prayed for some hits to get in. My praying was heard though. I spotted an item in the back of the arena, some antitdotes. I was not super happy about this but thought these goodies will come in handy. And then, the tragedy happened. When I turned around, I realized bsb is right behind me, already charging the attack. There was no time for me to dodge due to camera issues... and then bsb jumped......... A loud noise, a loud scream and then, silence. I turned around in shock, Bsb was... gone. Several seconds later, the death screen appeared... I was blessed by the Great ones that day. Turns out bsb is so buggy with his moves, he can actually use some Skyrim like glitches to go through walls... then he just died. Although I had a pain of a time, I was sad. Bsb will be remembered. I actually still have the recording and this is now on my Yt. Sorry Billy S if I ad myself. I can delete this path if you want. For Rom, I have never understood why everyone don't kill the spiders first. Rom is fair, but absolutely annoying. Don't lock on to her and kill the baby spiders first and you will be fine.

The best way I can compare Ludwig's difficulty for me is that phase 1 is objectively harder than 2 but easier to master and phase 2 is objectively easier but harder to master because you will need to be good at phase 1 one to consistently reach it.

Im trying to beat Laurence on NG++ and im struggling so much because the scaling is terrible and i do such little damage. Funnily enough I beat orphan first try on this run, because i could parry him. Laurence is just so tedious.

Best way to kill Rom: Either a big hammer or the bow so you can get as far away as possible from her kids Edit: And to be fair, Laurence is the one boss people underestimate on first impressions. Cus on one hand he appears to be a "generic Cleric Beast Copy/pasted but he's set on fire". Its when you actually fight him is when you realize that fire .... makes things harder. Cus now you gotta worry about getting burnt even from brushing up against him.

One interesting thing about these lower ranked Bloodborne bosses is that they become very difficult at BL4 - sounds obvious I know, but far more than other bosses at base level in other FROM games. Witches of Hemwick, Celestial Emissary, One Reborn, Mergo's Wet Nurse - they were really painful. Mechanically, I'm not sure why but my best guess is the rally mechanic becomes useless at BL4. Also, numbers 1 and 2 should be reversed in my opinion.

On NG+7 Lawrence is a complete nightmare. It feels like it's fight him flawlessly or die the first time you miss a dodge. His damage scales way too high and his hitboxes are questionable at times.

Main game for me from hardest to easiest: 1) Gherman 2) Ebrietas, Daughter of the Cosmos 3) Martyr Logarius 4) Darkbeast Paarl 5) Blood-Starved Beast 6) Vicar Amelia 7) The One Reborn 8) Amygdala 9) Shadows of Yharnam 10) Moon Prescence 11) Mergo's Wet Nurse 12) Father Gascoigne 13) Micolash (screw you Micolash) 14) Rom 15) Cleric Beast 16) Witches of Hemwick 17) Celestial Emissary DLC 1) Orphan of Kos 2) Ludwig 3) Laurence 4) Lady Maria 5) Living Failures (their theme slaps harder than it should)

Like Billy S, I never really got Orphan's reputation. I played the DLC for the first time in NG+1 and died to Ludwig around 40 times, Living Failures 4 (lol...), Maria 9 and Orphan a dozen. Laurence took me like 100: he's so unfair, completely goes against BB mechanics and his runback is the worst in the game, alone it drives you insane. All of this made Laurence the hardest boss in my FS experience and by far my least favorite of them all. Also, Micolash is a fine gimmick boss. Never died to him and always a treat when I get to his fight in my playthrough!

I got stuck on Living Failures for DAYS, before finally finishing the fight and proceeding to first time Lady Maria with the 3 blood vials I had remaining. I struggled hard with Cleric Beast in my first playthrough but took out Gascoigne with no issues. Rom was one of the hardest fights for me but Paarle, who I fought as early as possible, was a first try victory. Weird how subjective "difficulty" is.

Uuuuhhhhh, I made it into the video! That made me so happy. Yes, my phone is okey. I am using it right now :3

My second emissary fight a scerge beat glitch into the arena and killed my loosing 40,000 echos and I was gonna cry

I always have a bit of trouble with the living failures, there basic attacks always seem to hit me but i suppose that's just a skill issue.

I aways found the orphan quite easy. I generally exploit backstabbing, and run to the middle of the water to escape the lightning. Can't stand the blood starved beast tough, aways have a bad time trying to kill it

How many top 10 Soulsborne lists will it take for me to get tired of them? I don’t know, still haven’t reached that limit

Living failures is the easiest boss fight, UNTIL you want to get the Millions of Echo’s Farm glitch on them.. then it becomes a brutal challenge.

Everyone notice how ALL of the Top 3 are DLC bosses - SO STOKED FOR JUNE!!! I really agree Cleric Beast is a good early game boss, while Vicar and Nurse are firmly in the middle (certainly good bosses tho). But I just Cannot agree on Maria being higher than master Gehrman, she is cool but Not hard (imo)! Logarius is Great tho, really crazy and fast (God, how I love scythes)!! Agreed, I think Orphan is hard, but not the hardest.

OML MY COMMENT ON AMELIA MADE IT!!! THIS MADE MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER BILLY S! Btw thank you for the opportunity for me to say that Amelia was my favorite boss and confirming that I am her only stan lol. For the record, yes, I am in fact a furry, but that’s beside the point. Keep up the great work and keep making goated videos!

I don't know if this hot take but the hardest enemy in the game isn't even a boss , its that hunter with the chikage at the end of Eileen quest , not even kos and Lawrence were that hard compare to him

Maxor seems to have been correct about the games 3 hardest bosses

Cleric beast was easy because the PS4 is so under-powered that the fight was in slow motion.

26:06 try pungent blood cocktails 🥱

I have no idea why, but I ALWAYS struggle with Lady Maria. Her fight never clicked for me, I guess. Or maybe I just need to ‘git gud’

I didn't find any of BB's bosses super hard; none took more than 5 attempts. But the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst... that guy was a real jerk. Way harder than the bosses unless you cheese him.

Lawrence is easily hardest for me. Ive only done DLC once, but orphan probably took about 10 tries, ludwig probably about 20, and lawrence had to be more like 30

So glad I’m not the only person that struggles with orphan unlike billy mr flex 🤣😉 anyone who reads the comments will know that this is the only fromsoft boss to have truly beaten me well done on reaching number 1 you weeping monstrosity. Great video as always. Feel better soon

no way to cheese bsb? you can just use pungent blood cocktails to lure it to a corner to hit it hard, with a serrated weapon, fire paper and beast blood pellet you can make short work by just throwing blood cocktails to keep it distracted from you.

We are Bloodborne players. We have a bloody good time when getting tortured by brutal difficulty. Our dream is your nightmare. Our easy is your impossible.

Orphen of kos is the hardest after ng+4 he is just insane hard soooo hard But after ng+4❤

Have you seen speed runs, if that BSB Strat is cheese I don't know what is

To this day I still haven't beat the orphan of kos. Harder than malenia for me no doubt

24:02 try numbing mist🥱

Yay bloodborne!

id have to disagree with what you said about BSB, that theres no way to cheese him. theres always the pungent blood cocktail route where you just bash its brains in in a corner

I will say there is a cheese to BSB. Pungent Blood Cocktails in a corner and she’s easy as pie

I beat Malenia on my 4th try. I beat Father Gascoigne on my 26th try. I think you know what's harder

Billy S community common success

Sample size?

Hot take : living failures is a harder boss than maria. In all of my playthroughs, i have never died to maria. I have fallen a few times to the failures though. It sucks for me because maria IS COOL AF. And i understand why everyone likes her. I just wish she was more of a challenge for me..

I honestly don't understand why people think ludwig is hard. I know difficulty is subjective but I just don't get it. I'm like 10-0 against. I know for certain I've never lost to him

I find Lawrence easy, in fact. My worst time on him i died only 3 time 😂 I died countless times on Ludwig, Gherman, Maria and even the living failures but in lawrence i just passed thruogh

That comment is fucking gold 😂

the best game From has made. fight me bout it

Micolash took me two tries in a total of 20 minutes. I cornered him once with the entire second half being hitting him once in a chase, teleporting and repeating it. Truly the worst boss in soulsborne. Still better than most LOTF bosses tho

And then there me a person who played only wo long and made 5 NG+ on lies of P and having a friend with Bloodborne I played the game like three times during his NG+4 and the only thing I did was defeat three bosses: Ludwig who got defeated in 20 tries, Lady Maria who destroyed me 'cause It took more than 30 tries and in the end I defeated the orfan of Kos in literally 2 tries 😂😂😂

Don’t understand Rom at 10. Beat her my first try. Get 2-3 hits in then move. Be patient with the little one and wait for an opening. I never killed any of the small spiders.

Orphan made me lose any will to ever touch bloodborne again. Beat him, felt empty, turned off ps4 did not turn on ever since.

ebrietas on the other hand is a pushover imo... surprised ppl struggle with her

I still feel like Ebrietus is the hardest boss in the entire game excluding chalice dungeons.

Real ones know that Laurence is the hardest boss in the game

lol, Logarius over Maria? No way. If Maria is parryable, so is Logarius and he is much easier than Maria.

Ebrietas at 4 😂. I think I gave her 2/10. Apart from her AOE she's incredibly easy. I'm absolutely baffled!

Yep, Amelia is BB waifu as far as I'm concerned

broooo

Hardest bosses are the bullshit boses in dungeons close to queen yharnam in the chalices

Lady Maria should unironically be 18-19. I have never died against her and I've killed her three times. I've died a few times to the Living Failures and the One Reborn. Nostalgia and lore really clouds people's judgement of her actual fight.

Love you kween notice me
