I didn't find him too hard, but some people have difficulty with certain types of fights, and others not as much. I personally found the mini bosses in the Haligtree that slam down and spit scarlet rot out to be more difficult
It’s interesting the way different builds have different experiences. I spent the whole game afraid of Malenia’s reputation, focusing on maximising a bleed build and high level mimic ashes before I finally confronted her. She ended up taking only 3 tries because of all the damage she was taking; both the mimic +10 and I were wailing on her with the Polearm +10. OP right? Well you wouldn’t have thought so watching me fight Maliketh with the exact same tools. He was awful. I died so many times I lost count. I just could not get his moves down, as he always suddenly did something I hadn’t seen yet. He is the only boss in the whole game I resorted to shouting the move-set of, out loud.

A good chunk of these bosses are optional and can be made trivial if you know what loadouts are broken. As for the Tree Sentinel you need to kill to get into Lyndell, just use the poison cheese method and it’s stupidly easy xD
You can run past fallingstar beast

Hihihihi, always want to welcome my guests the way Mohg did. Anyway, @MojoPlays, do you have videos about the hardest monsters to fight from Monster Hunter Franchise? If not, can you make one, please?
IMO, the hardest fight is the final boss. But that’s mostly because I have a build meant specifically for Malenia. Powerstancing straight swords, rotten winged sword insignia, dragoncrest great shield talisman, two other talismans of your choosing, Lionel armor, Med load, min level of 140, and mimic tear. Also, gank her. It’s not perfect, but it’s reliable.
Only if it had reverse time ability like prince of Persia we didn't have to go all the way back to respawn location when we die😂
Radagon/ Elden beast took me 17 tries untill I finaly won, funny is Malenia took only 7 tries.

the first three he named are the current ones im stuck on
Yep, when facing too much of a challenge, go for rivers of blood or blasphemous blade...Also mimic tear upgraded to max
Dragonlord Placidusax has entered his arena...

melania was honestly quite easy for me, the hardest fight for me was the duo you get the ruined greatsword from at radahns
Like you beat ‘em all 😉
Tree sentinel duo solo is brutal
i did a full bleed build with leveled up mimics and smoked malenia but couldn’t kill the final boss to save my life dude
Malenia is only hard because of her fowl ability Radahn is hard because of ambition of taking him on before you’re ready Radagon is hard because of endurance of taking on elden beast right after But I’ve always found the first boss, margit to be the most annoying because of how different he was as a boss and small arena Def a difficulty spike that I enjoyed
Man, radagon and the beast, gave me much more trouble than malenia.
Using a bleed build with just the starting katana leveled up I struggled a little but I only really got stuck on the fire giant, then malekith (mainly because i wasn't leveling hp until then) for like 20 tries and then I got to Hoarah Loux and I was stuck on him for literally 2 days until I leveled hp again radagon and the elden beast only took me like 3 tries tho but mainly because I had ptsd from Loux grabbing me constantly
It’s crazy how worried I am for the DLC! The regular game kicks your butt so this is going to be crazy.
Godfrey was one of the easiest bosses I fought in the game. Had him beat in less than a min. That was after coming back to the game in over a year. I’m not even that good at souls games. Malenia will always supremely be the most difficult boss. Still haven’t beat her to this day. Luckily you can skip her and go straight to the elder beast.
Seems Ricky got a hug
Melenia was hard; I won't argue that. Fromsoft's hardest boss, though? That I will disagree with.

Mailketh took the most for me

For me it was fire giant. Mf really isn’t that hard but took me three days. He’s weak but his hits are omega damage
for me the final boss was the hardest it just took way to much endurance and mental clarity that no other boss requires
It took me longest on Radagon. Longer than Malenia
Malekith took me like 3 hours if fighting him while malenia died 1st try on my first play through. Friends in discord lost their minds
I'm over leveled in new game plus so all of my fights are easy. I would say Rhodan wss my hardest fight during my first play threw
😂 godfrey snatched me threw me in a spiral and power slammed me...
The tree sentinel was more annoying than it was difficult
Yeah yeah. We all know the Bell Baring Hunter in Caelid is the hardest enemy in the game.
mohg is the hardest and idc what anyone says. insane moveset, unbelievably high damage, a crap ton of health, and his second phase will heal him back up to 75% health unless you kill him fast enough. insane fight.

The game gives you tools to lessen the difficulty of fighting Mohg. If you get his shackle from the Subterranean Shunning Grounds, you can pin him down twice during his first phase. If you fought and defeated Eleonora at the Second Church of Marika, you will be able to mix the purifying crystal tear is the physick flask, which will negate the effects of Mohg's curse. Why waste 3 flasks during Mohg's chant when instead you can wail on him if you use the purifying crystal tear?

@@gojigiante How did you heat borealis first try? You must have had some OP weapons. I defeated Malenia with the Bloodhound Fang Sword, fully upgraded. Malenia is the most overrated boss ever in terms of difficulty. The only real hard part is the fact that she is fast and she heals after every hit. Isshin was also much much harder from Sekiro.
For me when it comes to soloing, most of these bosses are easy except black blade kindred, Maliketh and Malenia , the gargoyles don’t get bleed or frost and I was mostly running bloodhound fang and dragon halberd, Maliketh I fell in his first phase hardly gave openings and I had to trade hits with him, and waterfowl for Malenia Dragon lord placid is tough if you’re not using envoy longhorn bubble shower or ancient dragon lightning strike, I’ve never beat this boss without one of those two on solo, with mimic or tiche it’s easy and I’ve beaten it with other weapons Godskin duo is tough if you fight fair, but sleep pots and fight is cheese All bosses are easy if you summon mimic, or tiche, or Oleg and are appropriately leveled, don’t need to be over levels at all if you have a decent summon whose a decent level and you can switch aggro
Beat about 90-95% of bosses in my first ng and they weren't too difficult
I wish Godfrey had three stages and not two, first as Godfrey, then Serosh and after that Hoarah Loux to bad we didn't get that
Lowkey, the decaying dragon for me was light work, didnt fie once. The draconic tree sentinel fucked me for like a hour or something... But well, I guess its my fault since I play bleed build with no armor basically and just the nagakiba and uchigatana (I just like this build)
Honestly maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think maliketh is #2 hardest without a mimic tear. Some of my friends did no summon runs (I didn't cause I'm ass it took me 12 hrs to kill malenia) and it looked like maliketh gave them A LOT of trouble. The first phase has very specific openings and without a tear to distract him it's super difficult
