5 Hardest Bosses in Dark Souls 3

Hey guys. The only boss on this list that gave me big problems was Abyss Watchers. Took me 20-30 attemps to beat this one. I was very lucky with Pontiff. On 3rd or 4th attempt he just stayed at range and was able to just spam soul spear at him and he went down. The hardest boss in the entire game for me was Audrich. As pure caster i found this boss imposible. I had to respec to malee build just to beat it. Not tried nameless king yet but im too scared to try.

Only bosses that gave me shit was those twins and the Dragon Slayer armor, rest were a cake walk.

With the quality of the people i saw fighting him, im surprised the Dragonslayer Armor boss wasnt on here.

I mean, ffs, short of some of his two handed attacks if youre distracted or staggered, hes super easy to dodge and gives you like 3 seconds to hit him afterward. yet i saw death after death after death.

I found Abyss Watchers to be shockingly simple. Beat him on my 2nd try. The adds really help, because they'll attack the main boss too. The hardest bosses I think is Pontiff and The Twins. If you don't kill the mage brother early during the 2nd phase, the battle can really drag on. Nameless King was an epic battle that did take me more tries than I would like to admit, but I really only ever died to a bad roll and not the boss face rushing me like Twins, so I found him to be a little easier. Long story short, **** the twins, only boss I had to summon someone to help with.

Looking at the comments looks like the hardest game ever isn't actually hard, in fact it's simples! :) you bunch of ledgends.... I'm currently trying to kill the cursed tree, its piss! I've only died 25+ times... will do it next go I promise! ;-)

Old Demon King was frustrating for me, died quite a few times with him. I did the typical Dark Souls technique of slashing his crotch to pieces, but all those flashes of fire and him moving around was painful to my eyes. And targeting him just does not work

Abyss Watchers and Nameless King are the only ones worthy of this list.

Seems to me the rest was added because you just like the boss battles, they're not 'harder' than Abyss. Unless you over level early.

SoC for example (GS 2nd) has generous openings in a pretty straight forward one on one conflict. I enjoyed most the bosses in DkS3 but some of these are not worthy of licking Abyss boots, let alone being over NKs shoulders :P

Did nameless king on 2nd try, with a barbed short sword..... the best cutscene and hardest for me was abyss watchers. Everything else died first try. Thats prolly because i had 15 mitigation and light leather armor.

I have to agree that Nameless King was the hardest, took me quite a few attempts but got him down finally. I have to say the design of Nameless king fight is absolutely best probably any boss I have ever played. Oh man, boss flying on dragon, fight in clouds, absolutely beautiful. great fight all in all.

Only had a mild problem with Pontiff (7 deaths). Rest were disappointingly easy (but entertaining nonetheless). Nameless King really let me down though... expected more of a secret boss, but I easily took him down on my second attempt. That makes him harder than Bloodborne's Moon Presence... but easier than the tutorial boss. :-P

Everyone has Different struggles in Dark souls 3. Some bosses will be harder for you while the same boss might be easier for others. Besides the Nameless King( never fought him yet) The only boss notable on here who is tough is Pontiff Sulyvahn. That boss took me 5+ tries till I killed him. other bosses I found tough was the Old Demon King, Champion Gundyr, Alrditch The Devour of Gods ( I forgot how to spell the name) Was Pure Cancer I hated that fight and I guess, Yhorm the Profain giant

Excellent game so far. Even after playing DS1 & DS2 some bosses still beat the living crap out of me more than 5 times, namely the rotten oak, nameless king and aldrich. The hardest boss for me though was the uchigatana wielder just outside the firelink shrine. That a hole beat me good and proper around 15 times I think. Something about him just threw me off!

Champion Gundyr is harder than almost all of those. I haven't fought Nameless King as I've only just found out I missed him. But I'd put him at maybe #2. But you can parry him and it's apparently easy to do. I never tried though. But you do a lot of damage to him when you parry him.

I would rank them in difficulty by: DS>DS2>DS1>DS3>Bloodborne.

The Abyss Watchers were incredibly easy for me. They literally only have you do half the fight since that third guy comes it to help...I definitely agree that the Nameless King is number one but I think two and three should switch five with Dragonslayer Armour (although he was still easy just less easy than the Abyss Watchers). Overall this game is much easier compared to previous Souls games. I only died four times on the Nameless King and every other boss in the game I killed either my first or second try.

So theres only 5 bosses in DS3?

Strange ....abyss watchers was the easiest one for me....just like lady maria fight in bloodborne....the hardest fight for me was Aldrich.

The first time I attempted the Abyss Watchers I was totally unprepared for that 2nd phase. After killing him I was like "cool". Then the blood lifted and floated to him again. He's not that hard to be honest, but if you go in without anything to temper his flame blade you will get cooked. Literally. When going for him, just make sure to top off something that helps with endurance replenishment and flame resistance and you'll own him quick.

@walidras: he's pretty easy, if you go to the end of the room you can find the storm bringer sword, all you need to do is charge the stormbringer and use the special move on yhorm, you can kill him in like a minute or two, one of the easiest with crystal sage, honestly

soul of cinder wasn't that hard, but it's a really awesome boss honestly... nameless king oh man, that guy is the hardest boss of the game...

I haven't met 3 of those, but Abyss Watchers were very easy. Took me 3 attempts. So far biggest pain was Sullivan

Also I find the difficulty in this game to be much more about luck than it is skill. It seems this game is more about throwing mobs of enemies at you instead of the difficult one on one fights the previous games did.

I found the Old Demon King to be harder then some of these. Mainly because I found the boss fight to be kind of broken.

I just beat the Abyss Watchers and didn't find it too hard, only took 3 tries

I thought Lothric, Younger Prince was easy...I'd replace him with Dancer or someone else. But everyone has their own struggles/play styles.
