Hardest Elden Ring Boss, in Your Opinion
- Thread starter aiswyda
- Start date
Maliketh. Although with half health, the beast was too quick for me. Radagon The Golden ofcourse. Malenia and Radhan weren't difficult for me as I was quite levelled and geared for them. Used Bleed Builds to nuke them. By then, my mimic tear was also max so not much of a problem.
I no hit Malenia with ROB and my mimic on the first attempt.
Hardest boss for me hands down was probably Godskin Apostle or Godskin Spirit Duo. Arguably two of the most frustrating times I've had in the game at various stages of my play through. Godskin Duo was a walk in the park though.
Another boss I defeated just because of pure luck and stubbornness was Elden Beast. Pre patch he would fly away like an asshole and he is weak to nothing, so imagine me as a ROB player trying to make up all that ground. That was hard.

On my first playthrough as a melee-focused build, Elden Beast took me more tries than anything else, but on my second playthrough as a sorcerer I did it on my first it first try spamming rock sling so idk
Godskin Duo was the only boss I summoned a human for (spirits weren't cutting it), so maybe that

That's the problem with her: she feels like a bug after playing the game for so long.
I complained a lot about Radahn when the game came out, but in truth he was only difficult if you got to him too early, which I suspect most people did. Once you overlevel even just slightly, Radahn becomes a pushover.
Malenia is the only I couldn't be arsed to beat.

No, she was the best boss for me regardless. And it's not even close.
definitely i am malenia blade of miquella
took me around 5 hours to beat her with my strength character without player or spirit summoning

Fire Giant as it took me the longest to beat him.
Elden Beast a close second, hated chasing after it!!

that might be true for you, but she feels like an alien boss that From created for a different game. Does not fit this game at all imo
The two I had most trouble were Malenia and Godrick.
A combination of being under-leveled and average at the game ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I beat Malenia in my second try. Took me 30 seconds max. The combination of Azur comet while the boss is busy with my Mimic Tear ashes is just too OP. But the Elden Beast was a different err... beast altogether and took me a lot of tries to beat. So that's no doubt my choice of hardest boss
Malenia is easily the most challenging one, as pointed out by many already.
Since I think that Radahn is meant to be a gimmick fight with the whole summon thing I never found him unfair even before pre-nerf.
Maybe it was just me in how I first tackled the game but I found the draconic tree sentinel at the entrance of leyndell capital to be a huge wall. Second stage it was easily one shooting me with a pretty difficult to dodge attack.
The duo crucible knight was also a challenge but then I grabbed the mimic summon and it became more tolerable.
Elden beast did leave me a sour taste as a final boss, specially with how enjoyable fighting radagon is. One of the few bosses with a complete different approach on how to avoid a deadly tracking attack. Even with that out of the way, the whole running away just dragged on too much for what should be a glorified victory lap.

Interestingly enough, I don't think she would be such a difficult boss in Sekiro, it's just that your tools are very different here lol
Right. There's this prevailing logic elsewhere that if someone complains about bosses, or certain enemies in this game feeling like they were transplanted from another game, then that person doesn't know what they are talking about and simply needs to...you know what. The aggression factor on many of the elite types in this game is just over the top at times, and while they can certainly be overcome, don't feel like they were particularly balanced well for this game.
This is the only boss (well okay, also the first tree sentinel in Limgrave) I had to try again later on, as I tried a million time after beating Radhan and I was always beaten.
I'm happy to try help out but I've only ever beaten it with mimic tear.
Message me and we can sort something out.

I didnt even make it to malenia because the areas before her made me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon - final bosses weren't difficult at all imo.
I've watched vids of that fight and it certainly looks harder! Not sure I'll ever bother to go and do it though

Apparently it's nails because it's meant to be tackled after the main story is done.
I hated the bit on the tree and section after it equally.
When I read what most people were doing to beat Malenia (ROB, respec, etc etc) I noped out of that boss battle. It just didnt feel a balanced fight if you ask me. Will try her again on NG+ lol
That being said, I think Maliketh took me too many tries. The crucible knight duo was also some bull lmao

Most bosses can become easy with the right build, even Malenia. I knew Malenia was hard, but with bleed and Mimic it was over within a minute on my third try. It was one of the easiest bosses on my first playthrough!
I spent the most time on Radahn, which I felt was very random pre patch. When I finally beat him after 2-3 hours, it was just luck. I somehow was able to take down his health bar in phase 1.
But I think the final bosses are the hardest. They require the most skill, even with Mimic. And with all the running, the Elden Beast even tested my patience.
On my no summons playthrough, Malenia was the only one I gave up on.

Reminds me how someone on YouTube held a vote on the most difficult mobs in Elden Ring and drew up a extensive list to be voted on... and then proceeded to not include the Lion Guardians!!
for some reason this is the hardest mother fucker for me: Fire Giant
I think it could be due to getting to him about 20 levels under level... his fire would just 1 shot me
I want that helm.
where is this ? behind and down the cliff of death starved beast temple ?
