Players Cite Top Challengers
For Demon's Souls, one player noted that while they didn't struggle, Allant was a frequent mention, stating, "I didn’t find anyone hard, but Allant is a placeholder."
In Dark Souls, Manus received praise for being particularly unforgiving, with one comment highlighting, "Manus gives you less time to breathe and mistakes feel more punishing."
Meanwhile, Dark Souls II spurred debate, with Fume Knight and Ivory King emerging as two frontrunners. "Ivory King is harder because you have to unfreeze the knights," noted a commentator. Others reached out to support Fume Knight, calling him an unforgettable experience.
Commenters unanimously agreed that Sister Friede from Dark Souls III is exceptionally tough, with one player lamenting, "I feel like I messed up in phase 1 and that really gets in my head." Notably, the Nameless King and Midir are also referenced for their all-around difficulty.
Bloodborne and Sekiro Perspectives
Bloodborne brought forward the Orphan as a standout challenge, as one player remarked, "The most consistently hard challenge is the orphan you either learn to parry or get messed up.”
In Sekiro, the Inner Father was highlighted as particularly challenging, with mention of the struggles navigating tight spaces: "Great Shinobi can still mess me up something about him swinging that big sword like it was nothing throws me off my game."
Interestingly, Elden Ring's Malenia and Radhan sparked heated debate. While some consider Malenia not too tough, others think Radhan's many moves make him extremely difficult. One player humorously claimed, "Radhan does not feel right even after nerfs."
"The Orphan is easily the hardest for me, no question about it!"
