    Trying an early upload (by 1 hour) to see if it's better for the video/channel. Enjoy my takes on the Soulsborne Final Bosses, and remember to stay civil and debate with kindness in the comments ^^
  • @darianclark3980
    The Moon Presence would been a great boss fight. . . . .if it had 25% more HP than Gehrman and had Arcane, Blood, even Elemental Attacks.
  • @cecefuss
    'Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt' - is this the best line in all of Soulsborne? Yes, yes it is
  • @s.w.4409
    In the end, Gwyn was just an old man afraid of the dark...😢
  • @lyokochaeyeon
    I would be down for a like a 10 part lore ranking between all the soul series games

    For myself I love Isshin the Sword Saint as a final boss. The arena and the lore for fight are amazing. I remember when I beat him I'd actually turned off the music so it was just the sound vfxs and I feel like it challenges you to use everything you've learnt. My ranking 11: True King Allant 10: Aldia 09: Nashandra 08: Moon Presence 07: Mergo's wet nurse 06: Elden Beast/Radagon 05: Gywn 04: Soul of Cinder 03: Shura Isshin/Emma (I consider Emma phase 1) 02: The First Hunter (forgot how to spell his name) 01: Sword Saint Isshin

    honestly you do not know how much I respect the Old king placement just for SPITE towards "Uhm Ackually I'm better at souls than you!!!" mfs in the last videos comments hahaha

    It's actually possible to dodge the Wet Nurse's desperation move. You just need to dodge the moment she casts the ability and it won't happen. I've pulled it off myself before.

    Gehrman is my favorite bossfight of all time. Almost everything is perfect. Moveset, arena, music, lore behind the fight. Everything is the best of the best. The only small gripe I have with this fight is that it could have been a bit harder for a final fight.

    First off, based Sword Saint enjoyer, for making him your #1. I'd even say it's among my favorite final bosses in gaming as a whole. After not playing Sekiro for some years, I decided my first thing to do on this revisit was fight him right away. Absolute thrill. Second, I personally would put Radagon a bit higher, maybe #5 cuz of its mechanics after getting better at ER. Something I learned about post-nerf Elden Stars is that if you wanna avoid it without a hitch, run under the arm casting Elden Stars as its sent out, and sprint like mad. It ensured I didn't have to deal with it, making the fact it can act with impunity a non issue. Third, I'd personally put Gwyn lower cuz of how the fight feels. The parrying can make him an absolute joke, but if you can't or choose not to, his attacks are pretty janky, and unreliable to negotiate with. Still very doable, but it doesn't feel satisfying mechanically. Narratively, very satisfying though as it makes perfect sense that his fight is anticlimactic given the state of the world, and the amount of time that has passed since his efforts to prolong his age.

    Found your channel today and have embarked on a binge while drawing lol, you've earned yourself a loyal subscriber. keep up the great work!
  • The best way I've found to deal with Elden Stats is to circle around EB to get it between you and ES, then do running jumps until ES goes away. A YouTuber called LupineO shows it off well in a challenge run he did recently.
  • @jonmann4980
    You should do a boss ranking for lies of P Also putting Isshin Glock Saint as #1 is extremely based 🔥
  • @ThIQ84
    I love how you did Nashandra justice, it’s not a great fight but I love the lore and everything surrounding it
  • @DoubleX2Dave
    I searched for this exact video yesterday. Glad to see you post it!
  • @justwhatever5226
    The soul of Cinder may be the end of dark souls 3, but my boy Gael will always be the final boss of the dark souls franchise

    The first time I heard someone say “On fleek” was in 6th grade, i graduated highschool 2 years ago😭 i got a license, a first job, moved states, entered and left my first relationship, and am legally allowed to drink now, and yet the word Fleek haunts me.
  • @minerman60101
    I think Radabeast would be better if Radagon stayed dead, and the cutscene for entering the arena shifted so that you teleport in to see his corpse and then the usual phase transition cutscene happens. Give him a bit more health, and don't give any boss kill banner ceremony until you've slain Elden Beast. Also, use Fan Daggers against Elden Beast. They make such a satisfying quintuple clink against its glass body and let melee players not feel as left out when they aren't close to the boss. Finally, when it does the rings attacks, it always resurfaces directly opposite to where it began the attack, so you can catch up to it consistently. A couple days ago I was able to first try the duo on my level 147 character, with a little help from the Divine Fortification incantation, and the fights work quite well when you know what you're doing and don't need to slog through Radagon a dozen times to secure your Elden Beast kill.
