I love the demon prince fight because it's less like a normal gank fight and more like a tag team wrestling match where the tagged out wrestler is allowed to throw rocks at the guys in the ring
I hated that fight lol. Played the game 50 plus times through and i always dread it. They just have way too much hp and resistance in my opnion
@@theluluexpress8528 if you’re doing a strength build, use the Black Knight Great Sword. You will stagger them very often
@@ShadowDemon2228 yes ive tried it all. Any boss fight that takes more than 4 minjtes is honestly too much for me
@@theluluexpress8528💀
@@theluluexpress8528this is an L take
Calling the old demon king forgettable was very surprising to me. His final stand before he gives up is legendary. It's also just a tragic fight. Idk. The ranking is fine, but still
Lots of people forget about him because he's tucked away and his moveset isn't stellar
He also drops what is arguably the best Pyromancy in the game
@@orgixvi3 arguably? It's objectively the best pyromancy and one of the best spells in the game overall.
I get it why he is ranked so low but i still kinda love this fight, fighting him with ultra greatsword makes him way more enjoyable and the ending scared the shit out of me.
@@afinoxi what about great chaos orb?
The old demon king is actually the last of the demon race after the bed of chaos was killed no more demons could be created. Which is why he may seem out of place great vid
But I never understood; if he‘s the last demon, then why didn’t he become the demon prince upon death, and why did there still exist 2 demons at firelink shrine eons later (Demon in pain and demon from below)? I never got this
@@zigsynx5364 Lore reason would likely be that the Demon Prince was presumed dead, killed by Lorian before he took on Lothic's curse. That also probably has something to do with the fact that the Demon got split into two weaker Demons.
Real reason? The Demon Prince was a cut/unfinished boss from the base game. It was called Great Bat in the files and they reworked it into the DLC, which Fromsoft does alot for the DLC's in Souls Games.
this video’s production value is WAY more than i’d expect from a channel with less than 1000 subs, great work!
thanks man! :D
Until you mentioned this I thought this was another big souls CZcamsr that I’ve just never seen before, keep going bro the subs will eventually catch up with your effort
Slave Knight Gael was around since the age of the Gods and have fought the most bleakest of battles. Years later Gael needed a new purpose. His next goal was to help the painted girl create a new world, which soon to be called "Ash" a cold, dark, and very gentle place. But the girl needed 2 things, one to see flame witch was completed during the fight between sister Freide. And other was the Dark soul of man to use the pigment for the canvas. Gael journey's through the ringed city and leaves messages for you to follow. Gael knew he would not have a safe return. So his plan was for him to find, kill and consume the Pygmys lords and every one that wields a piece of the Dark soul cause the dark soul splits and divides to many souls and to people. Gael needed to make the soul hole again and make the blood his own. Gael knew by leading you through the ringed city and you cracking the egg would take you to the end of time to take the soul from him and bringing it back to his lady. Cause he knew this task would take countless of years and by time the he would have the Dark soul everyone will be dead. So he wants the Ashen one to take the Dark soul back to his lady cause the Ashen one can just travel back in time through the bonfires. In the fight once the player injures Gael, Gael's blood drips on his sword. Gael realizes it's not red but black. Witch shows that the player was the only one strong enough to wound him in countless eons. Once Gael realizes that he's completed his noble goal to resemble the Dark soul he hollows and the 2nd phase he stands for the first time in who nos how long. And the 3rd phase he looses further control and all the death and souls spew out.
In my opinion it's the best boss fight from any of the Soulborne games.
you should have made script for gael lol, i know like nothing about him
Enter Isshin Sword Saint.
I feel like he is the best boss in any game not just Soulsborne, played countless games cant think of one that is better than Gael. Not just gameplay and mechanics but music, lore, arena, atmosphere, animations are all amazing.
@@Emulator833 totally agree
Agreed
the reason why you can hear ocelot cry is because in the first version of the game, the consumed king actually kills the baby in phase two, but because it was so brutal they had to censor it
oh wow
He is still here, in his arms, invisible
So he really do smash it on the ground during the transition phase
He still does, in p2 his smashes the invisible baby in the ground, and it explodes, and Oceiros turns more of a beast.
You deadass ranked Aldrich lower than Wolnir, Gravetender and Deacons.
yup, i guess i learned i got some hot takes after reading the comments on this video lol
@@critterfarts7018Deacons are fantastic in my opinion. Yes they’re a gimic fight, but they’re sooooo thematic and their score is magnificent. Awesome fight.
Aldrich is a bad fight tho
I agree with it, id you get a bad run those arrows really drag out the fight
Aldrich fight absolutely sucks. He just runs away, jizzes magic all the time and don't even get me started on that bow attack. EIther you steamroll him or he spams that bw bs and makes you throw the controller...
Dragonslayer Armor is so underrated. It's unfortunately sandwiched between 2 other great bosses, Dancer and the Twin Princes, but it's such a fun fight.
Edit: also, Dragonslayer Greataxe is by far my favorite weapon in the game, maybe even the whole trilogy (sorry, DS1 Zweihander)
agreed lol
eh its so easy bro lamo my first playthrough i beat it first try without even knowing whats happening
Same for me. Dragonslayer greataxe is my fav weapon out of all fromsoftware games
@ObviousPrototype I really hope the DLC for Elden Ring adds a lightning Slam ash of war. I tried to recreate the DSGA by infusing the Executioner Axe with a lightning ash, but they all feel pathetic compared to the absolute SLAM we get in DS3
@@the_bee_is_methe weapon art makes me feel like he-man by the power of grey skull SLAM 😂😂
The old demon king is not that bad. His attacks are clearly choreographed. If you kill him directly before/after Wolnir his scaling is ok.
Midir also becomes very readable if you fought him often enough which makes him a lot easier.
The rest of this list is pretty spot on.
By the way, the painting of ariandel DLC is not so bad it also has cool weapons :(
Also, the quality of the video is awesome. Well done.
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Follower torch is mad underrated fr
@@dantetouchdown9030mad respect
The Viking enemies would have been awesome to fight, if they weren't placed in the most inconvenient places
Ashes of ariandel would be the worst dark souls DLC if not for sister friede. The corvian settlement is actually pretty cool, but everything else sucks. The first area with the followers, wolves, and millwood knights is really just annoying. But my least favorite part is the gauntlet after the corvian settlement. Oh and don’t get me started on the champions gravetender. Possibly my least favorite fight in the game.
23:15 pontiff is actually less aggressive when his shadow is alive,this makes the fight much better since as long as the phantom is alive he isnt nearly as agro and it lets the player decide if he wants to fight poniff with or without the phantom, a gank fight that is less agro or a 1 target boss fight that is more agro. I love the duality of the fact, and on top of that, you can also double parry the boss (the phantom and then him) making it so satisfying if you pull it off.
Oh man! I've never attempted the double parry, but once did dodge the phantom move and then nail a backwards parry on the real one for the kill. That felt amazing.
@@matthewfera2954 yea it feels good, I strongly suggest to try to parry both aswell, it feels insanely satisfying
So glad to see the Twin Princes so high up. I never see people gushing about their fight. The moveset, the soundtrack, the lore, it is my favorite fight in DS3
yea, i agree. twin princes are soooooo good
One thing I find overlooked in Gael’s battle theme is that in phase 3, you can hear a leitmotif of the title screen! It’s much faster, and the lead choir has only one voice which sounds much more desolate, but it is there. What an excellent final boss for the entirety of dark souls. Not a god, not a dragon, just a man who never stopped pursuing his goal.
Did you know the dark souls 3 menu music was originally the final boss theme? Who was originally Pontiff Sulyvahn! It makes sense why the menu music is so grand and intense considering that lol
@@user-ns4zm8qe9p I did know that actually, it’s very cool! I will say though, the Soul of Cinder feels so much more cinematic and interesting than the Pontiff. I mean, come on, the thing changes combat styles in the middle of the fight, looks awesome, and then becomes Gwyn but better for phase 2. And I do mean, Gwyn but better, lightning attacks, the ability to not be parried, just, good.
@@anwd8646 oh yeah I adore soul of cinder, I wish I could’ve seen my own face when he back flipped on me just such a neat idea. Having what could be interpreted as all your own dark souls characters being manifest into the last defender of the flame is something wholly unique and phase 2 speaks for itself. I mean how perfect
I like how in the.. I guess modern world of ds3 Sulyvahn is narratively most like an arch antagonist, he’s the mastermind behind Aldrich, the cathedral of the deep and subsequently both Irithyll and Anor Londo, so having him as a final boss is fitting for the more localized story of dark souls 3. Regardless I think the right choice was made and this is just a fun tidbit to chat about how much plans changed throughout development
Whats great about Gael is that he feels so cinematic but still is one of the hardest fights while most cinematic fights like the divine dragon are always way too easy
This was very entertaining and pretty informative! Also your editing is *SMOOTH*
You realise when people said nameless king was hardest boss they meant in base game cos that was the opinion before the dlc came out right?
now that you said that, i just realized that lol
This was a very good video, I'm impressed by the level of effort that went into it especially considering the size of the channel, hope you get more attention soon
thanks man!
Very impressive and well planned out video, The inclusion of soundtracks being part of the rankings is such an important feature that many people miss out on so great job :D Commenting so this goes on everyone's recommended page, this video was great
thanks, that means alot! :D
You just appeared on my recommendations and im very satisfied, def subbing for more. And yes it was worth it to read for 1 frame.
Your editing is on point bro! Excited to see more from you in the future 🔥
thanks! :D

thanks man!
Wicked sick video editing, Sir Critterfarts!
I think champion gundyr is confirmed to be in the past since the whole reason he was trapped was he showed up to firelink late and there was no fire or bell and was killed by an unknown warrior (arguably you when you go back to the old firelink) and basically he waits as a judge in the tutorial.
ahhh yeah i guess so
If you talk to the handmaiden in dark firelink shrine first the one in your firelink will recognize you. Confirming without a doubt that its in the past
It’s kinda sad really. He expected to become the literal champion but then he was forced to become just a judge for whoever
@@amirferdhany3177 bro thought he was him
@@Goatdir what? I genuinely don’t understand
Absolutely wild that you only have 500 subs, was expecting 100k off your editing and formatting. Great work man!
This editing was superb!! Hope you keep making these bangers for me and the boy's to enjoy ! :D
Give it to me. You know what daddy wants. :steamhappy: :D
Your editing is absolutely amazing. Easiest sub of my life
I personally think that Aldrich is one of the best mage/sorcerer type bosses. He is not that easy and also uses some interesting close range attacks.
Tbf he feels like he exists as an anti-mage due to his insane magic resist. Very, VERY not fun due to that for me, who played a pure caster build
same bro im doing beating dark souls only with magic challenge video and is so terrible aldrich and oceiros is so bad
rn im suffering in lothric and lorian basically u need to kill lorian 4 times to kill lothric cuz i only can attack him 3 times @@sythrus
@@dout3716 i don't remember off the top of my head but you may be able to get great deep soul for oceirus, hes manageable at the very least.
The real issue is champion gundyr. Phase two attacks wayyyy too fast for casters to be able to take him on well, only thing i can think of working would be the fast magic sword spell.
Its especially hard since he goes for attacks as soon as he notices you preparing a spell
@@dout3716 oh, and when you get to dlc 2, great soul dregs is really good if you end up with spare points to put in faith. Its very close to where you first enter the dlc. Its also suprisingly good in pve, since everyone in the souls pvp community sleeps on casters.
Pestilent fog (or whatever the mist of percentage health damage is called) can be used to cheese quite a few bosses as well.
Brilliant infusion caestus is probably one of the better offhands you can get, as its just a nice QoL to have mana regen, and you can still try parrying with it.
Yhorm is actually just a regular, non gimmic boss with casters, as it appears that he takes normal damage on his head, so just target there for maximum damage.
For sister friede phase 2, you can use soul stream to shred their healthbars at the start of the phase, as they will be lined up for you
The large horizontal magic sword sweep and the small fast one are both amazing to have depending on situation, with the smaller one even being both extremely mana efficient and good dps, at the penalty of very short range
hello man already finished the challenge @@sythrus
Holy shit your editing is amazing for a channel of this size! Hope you keep making videos in this style. A video like this for Bloodborne would be sick.
Insanely well edited video!! Hope this channel blows up soon, good luck 🫶
Man I love the effort put in with the editing and overall commentary of this video! Can you do a video like this one for ds1 and ds2?
thanks. i was thinking about that since this video did so well!
@@critterfarts7018 you better ... 🔪🔪🔪
most interesting dark souls boss ranking i’ve seen, you’re editing is great, I really enjoy your style of editing.
thank you man!
Yr'ouer*
I will watch the top 10 later bc I have to go now, but I am amazed!! High quality throughout 37 minutes, actually funny jokes, such good editing. Definitely subscribed, you deserve to blow up man
Holy shit dude what a great video!! The production is insane and idk how u dont have more subs. Im literally playing thru ds3 (beat the main game but havent gone to soul of cinder yet cuz i wanna do the others too ) and yeah i did get a little spoiled on the dlc bosses but slave knight gael was entirely worth getting spiiled on. Keep it up!!
thanks! hope you enjoy dark souls 3!
something i always thought was interesting about the gael fight is that it’s essentially 2 nobodies duking it out at the end of the world
edit: i wrote this comment before he literally said the same exact thing in the video 💀
haha lol
But he isn't! Wth he literally gains the title of the red hood. Well know and feared by the pilgrims. "Nobody" lol
Great video man!! Surprised to find you in all the amounts of dark souls videos out there but I’m loving it and love how you also rank their phases and soundtracks. Now I wanna see you do one for Bloodborne hopefully
sorry i have no clue about anything related to bloodborne, but i am currently making one for elden ring rn. :D
keep going man this was a great video
This is truly one of the boss rankings of all time. Good video too
You certainly have not enough subscribers for the quality of editing and overall entertainment. Keep up the great work!
I loved this video, the bad rats part was gold lmao. Keep it up!
Dude your production value is insane, keep it up! :D
Probably the most unique tier list I've ever seen,great editing too!
This vid is really good honestly, it's a shame you're not making more videos
Im currently making an elden ring one right now, sorry it's taking so long lol
Bro decided to have the best editing for a small Chanel good job dude wild
Some insane takes on there but your editing is great
lol thank you
Damn bro your editing is incredible, keep it up!
I’m a bit late to this video, but I just wanted to let you know how good this is. Super well paced and the editing is fast and eye catching. Just followed 🙏
the fact that you only have 1k subs should be illegal, you’re funny asf
Very well edited and made video
thanks! :D
I love the editing here, keep up the good work!
thanks!
love the editing, ZAMN
Nice video and some hot takes here where I disagree myself but totally see your points! As a little critique/tip make sure your microphone doesn't clip/distort when recording the voiceover :D
man, how do you have so small amount of subs? your montage is so good with humour, definitely deserve more.
thank you!
the quality is so good, love it!
thanks :D
14:58 no as a matter of fact I did not pause the video, I put it in 0.25 speed and had to screen record cuz it was so hard to catch 😒 all that for nothing
Dang ur editing is good
your editing is incredible
thanks haha
503 subscribers is not fair considering how high quality this video is. Great job dude!
I like your editing I don't agree with your placements but I love ranking videos so I will subscribe
This is some of the best editing I’ve seen. ❤
thank you
Just commenting to help with the algorithm 🤙🏼. Good vid!
great editing my dude! ranking these game bosses is hard because except for the wyvern and greatwood, i enjoyed so hard the other fights. Even if i dont completely agree with the ranking, as i said, this game makes it so hard and almost every ranking is valid. keep it up
I liked and subscribed!
hey man, i really like the video, nice edition, nice music and transitions (that last one i don't know if was a reference to the transitions of Equals tree, but it it's not it's fine)
Dark souls 3 have some of the best bosses of the trilogy in my opinion and we may no have the same order but I think in general you described them quite well 😀
I hope you continue to make this type of content and your channel gets more attention.
Prise the sun y saludos desde Perú.
🔴⚪🔴
(yes, sorry for my english xD)
Great video man
Love the editing style
otk at second last is most insane placement i'd change a few things around in my ranking but going off yours id put him between oceiros and yhorm. obviously I'm not right and neither are you that's the beauty of opinions. also great production quality for a small channel you deff got potential.
0:48 You got my Sub with the Gran Turismo SFX i fucking love you
Another little tidbit of lore that I also find really cool is that this entire game is Prince Lothrics fault because he was a wuss and didn’t wanna link the fire, and as such didn’t, causing the resurrection of the old lords
As such, they’re technically not Lords of Cinder, only carry blood worthy to be Cinders, which is why they at no point get any new fire attacks or that embered aesthetic the other Lords get (yes Lorians sword is on fire but that’s due to the Chaos flame eternally scorching the sword after he slew the Demon Prince, not the First Flame)
bro ur editing and commentary is that of a channel with like a million subs but ur not popular somehow!? what a great video i’m praying for ur success so u can make bank 🙏
Pretty sure champion gundyr is in the past because if you kill the shrine maiden there, when you return to firelink ahe says something along the lines of remembering you and then charges you more souls to buy things.
yeah i guess i made a mistake there lol
@@critterfarts7018 nah not a mistake, there's so much to these games it's hard to know all the things, still a very enjoyable watch and great list!
thanks!@@SomeBadBadger
I always appreciate a dark souls boss ranking video especially a ds3 video, but I have to say that I kinda love halflight, he's no abyss watchers (might be my favorite boss in all of souls) but I used to love getting summoned into the halflight fight as the boss
Love seeing this shit. 100subs the video quality is that of a much bigger CZcamsr. Keep it up dude
Thank you so much! :D
I personally really really really love the dragonslayer armor, of what ive played (ive played most of all of the game) hes my 3rd favorite boss. And in my head canon, the dragonslayer armor is the real Ornstein, but after the gods left Anor Londo, he was sent to Lothric castle to protect the twin princes, and act as a sentinel to the grand archives.
this game is truly amazing. Even the Rotted Greatwood has some pros to it
woooow the old demon king wasn’t great but the worst actual boss in the game is still interesting. The attacks are telegraphed, the boss arena is a cool callback to ds1 demons and it can offer a challenge without feeling unfair to me.
edit: I’m honestly shocked the Greatwood made it as high as it did
edit: the nameless king gave me so much difficulty that am of the variety to say it’s the hardest in the base game. Phase 3 Friede gave me more trouble tho overall
What a great first vid, how did you learn to edit like this ? , its really damn good.
thanks! editing (or at least my style of editing) is something you can learn and become proficient on by only using online resources. I've been enjoying editing as a hobby for years now, and everything i learned is off of youtube and reddit. its amazing lol
Ngl this vid had me laughing my ass off at midnight, you earned a sub 😂
25 bosses. 23 absolute bangers! But seriously though, it feels like there are way more than 25 bosses in this game.
Good list!
thanks! :D
bruh how do you only have 250 subs? the video quality is super good
For this level of editing i'd say you're criminaly underrated
thank you so much man!
@@critterfarts7018 looking forward for new videos !
You honestly deserve more subs and you've certainly earned one from me. Keep doing more bosses ranked. Maybe do sekiro next
thanks! i was thinking of doing dark souls 1 next.
This guy's editing deserves more credit. You need more subs my brother.
thanks :D
Would you mind doing this for the other games? I really enjoyed this video
though i personally disagree with most of the list, your editing is amazing, and this video is beautifully made, im imcredibly surprised you only bave 450 subs
How does this chanel just have 300 subs? this is just way to good
thanks :D
Not gonna lie, some pretty fun, semi-hot takes here. Always love to see Halflight and Aldrich slander! Great editing, too, by the way. Loved the video! Personally I would have put Champion's Gravetender MUCH closer to the bottom and I will always be a believer in High Lord Wolnir being a very underrated boss.
Thank you! And yeah, wolnir can definitely be fun and underrated at times. Not a lot of people mention that lol
great video! ds3 is still one of my favorite souls games to this day. :D
thanks! ds3 is my fav game of all time lol
@@critterfarts7018 i just looked at your channel, it was quite a coincidence for me to discover that you play some of my fav valve games as well (TF2 and CS). i would like to see more content from you! ;)
Haha yeah tf2 and cs are some of my favorite games and I've always thought of making videos around those topics (especially tf2 tho)
Fighting Gael with the Farren Greastsword is one of the most epic fights in gaming history.
your editing is insane😭
I subbed because you said "anticlimactic" correctly. Great video, man. Very well done.
haha thanks
Great video, I disagree with the order but an interesting watch
EDIT: Oh yea, forgot to mention, nice Gran Turismo sounds
I just completed ringed city with my brother. It's absolutely my favorite part of the game both for the cinematics and the still strong community presence. I will never forget me, my brother, a complete random that I fought Midir with the day before and Great Door Shield Smough going into battle against Slave Knight Gael. One of my hypest video games moments of all time
Someone has to tell me where y’all got these door shields lol dark souls 3 was my first dark souls been playing it since and I can’t figure it out
I agree, it's amazing
I never thought I would see a Dark Souls video with Hi-Fi Rush music in the background
When i saw that you ( at the time of me writing this ) have so low subs i expected this video to be low tier but holy cow. What an amazing video about amazing game. One of the best videos about ranking DS3 bosses. Also please remember me when you get famous 👏.
lol thank you
this man only has 400 subscribers yet this is the best editing I've seen in a ds3 vid
thank you! lol
amazing video
Very good video.Was really surprised to see that you only have 155 Subs :o
This video's usage of the oculus menu sounds single handedly made me pick up my oculus and start using it again lol
Odk at 24 is wild but great video
