    DMC3 Vergil DMD. Once he DT's he'll start healing faster than you can damage him

      DMD is optional though, Ishin filtered the absolute frick out of people on the lowest difficulty (ng w/charm). I realize branching routes make Ishin “optional” too but I think bringing selectable difficulty level into the discussion misses the point.

        I usually think it's a stupid meme, but if you went for the bad ending you literally didn't beat the game. Also I really need to replay Sekiro some time.

          I agree. Shura ending is like waiting 10 minutes in the starting room in far cry and saying you beat it.

            So you're saying it's the objectively better ending?

        Difficulties below DMD are the tutorial.

          I don’t disagree, but the fact remains those lower difficulties exist and nearly everyone would say if you beat the game on normal you beat the game, which means in context of OPs question you should use the easiest possible version of the fight to compare. The point is bosses *you can’t skip*, and picking an easier difficulty is skipping. The equivalent would be Ishin NG+7 charmless and I never bothered getting to ng+7 so I have no idea what that difficulty is like.

          >DMD is optional
          lol fromdrone filtered by DMD and coping, how typical

          What the frick are you talking about, it literally is.

          So you're saying it's the objectively better ending?

          From a story perspective yes because the other endings are stupid, from a difficulty or gameplay perspective it’s obviously not.

      How do people find the monk hard, it is on the easier side for me

        he's got a couple combos with delayed attacks that would probably catch out people who mash L1 with no timing.
        I consider those weird giraffe centipede assassin guys as good practice for the monk

    Probably nobody is going to be able to relate because this game wasn't even really popular when it came out, but the final boss of "Prinny: Can I Really be The Hero?" is a fricking NIGHTMARE. I'm not even joking when I say that I gave me mild carpal tunnel syndrome and I lost the sense of touch in 3 of my fingers for about a month.

    he is optional, if you go for the bad ending.

    Hardest last boss in my memory was Shinobi on PS2. Holy shit

    I recall Castlevania Lords of Shadow Forgotten One being surprisingly very brutal and one of the harder bosses I've ever fought. Dark Fact from Ys comes to mind too.

      I consider that a DLC boss. He's not that hard, but the fight is really long so it's one of those "war of attrition" type boss fights.

      I literally never dodged for the entire game, I never knew that dodge roll existed.
      Armstrong wiped the floor with me for an entire day before I finally looking it up.

        You can ninja run around everything that can't be parried. What makes Armstrong hard is that he's the only boss that actually requires real precision and speed with blade mode. You can be extremely sloppy in the blade mode segments for all the other bosses, if you even need to interact with them at all.

    did people seriously struggle that much with this guy? i downed him in like 15ish attempts and i'm fricking shit at from games. took me far longer to kill guardian ape and demon

    • 3 months ago

      He definitely doesn't have as many obvious opens as demon does, although I found demon harder aswell, guardian ape easier than demon. Took maybe just under 10 attempts for me, not including genshiro who i started fricking up massively after easily doing it the first two times.

      Most people would say 15 attempts is struggling very, very hard. They want to win in 2, 3 tries max and that’s how most souls bosses work: fight them once or twice until you learn THE MOVE that kills you every time and learn to counter it, throw on whatever cheese item you saw on reddit, then smash the boss without ever really learning its moveset.
      Not counting stuff like forgetting to buff or gravity, I think you’ll find the average player beat most bosses in less than half a dozen tries.

    he's extremely easy if you mastered the basics of combat and play aggressive instead of passive
    just like genichiro

    In terms of a raw test of the player's skill, he sure as hell is from all the games I've played. What's even better is he's fair.
    Mastering Isshin and Inner Isshin by beating him as stylishly as possible without needing to heal feels so damn good.

    >that guy
    >hard
    At that point in the game I was so bored that I just ran behind him and poked him till he died (thanks, patented fromsoft AI)

    Like other people said though, Vergil3 was pretty nuts. Baal in D2 can be pretty rough if you aren't playing online and grinding levels/gear before you even tackle him. Probably just me, but every single Touhou boss kicks my ass too.
