Between Asylum Demon, Tower Demon, Witches of Hemwick and Genichiro, he probably takes the cake for me.

At first, he’s a huge wall and pretty much impossible to beat for new players. Once you get the hang of the combat, it just clicks (literal shills running down my spine) and you end up appreciating the fight a lot.

What’s your pick?

    Tough. Champion Gundyr maybe? I love the flow of that fight. Tough, but not too hard. Nice rhythm. Feels fair. You can parry him, but you don’t have to.

    Either him, Soul of Cinder or Dancer. For similar reasons on all of them. I’ve said it before but I prefer bosses in that Goldilocks zone of challenging but not too hard.

      Oh yea, I get your sentiment on difficulty. From an absolute cinema POV, Khazan’s or Sekiro’s final bosses can barely be surpassed for me, but even though the latter has become pretty easy for me, the former was just infuriatingly difficult for me. I contemplated just quitting the game right then and there

        Yeah I still have yet to attempt either of those, for good reason. I am not confident I will be able to beat them and I would prefer not to have to give up on a game at this point in my life. And I am not keen on spending days and days grinding a single boss anymore, those days may just be behind me.

        Though I might have painted myself into a corner where I’m forced to try Sekiro at some point anyway. We’ll see…

          Khazan, luckily, has difficulty options. No shame in making use of that. The game will still be plenty difficult :D

          Sekiro definitely is a tough nut to crack, tho. I suspect you still might have to give it a shot sometime 👀
