What's your top-5 favourite boss list in the games from Demon's Souls to Sekiro?
For me: 5. Ivory King, Dark Souls 2. >Love the fact that you and a group of NPCs band together and gang up in a mini battle for phase 1 4. Highlord Wolnir, Dark Souls 3 >Here's a weird but, but it's the spooky atmosphere and a huge, creepy skeleton crawling out of the darkness that makes me really enjoy it 3. Lady Maria of the Astra Clock Tower, Bloodborne >Just a really fun, balanced boss fight 2. Ludwig the Accursed, Bloodborne Again, the music in phase 2 really makes this fight great for me, together with it being fun to fight with his erratic movement in phase 1 turning into a controlled, focused knight in phase 2 1. Owl 1, Sekiro Now, I haven't finished Sekiro yet as I'm stuck on Demon, so my opinion may change but this fight is pure kino for me. You are fighting your equal and it's so much fun
Haven't had Sekiro for long so I can't say any bosses from that yet but 1. Ludwig 2. Gael 3. Champion Gundyr 4. Orphan of Kos 5. O&S
David Lee
> In no order >Amygdala >False King Allant >Ludwig >Artorias >00-ARETHA
Ayden Stewart
sword saint demon of hatred orphan of kos champion gundyr lady maria
Robert Collins
1. Demon of Hatred 2. Ornstein and Smough 3. Dragonslayer Armour 4. Laurence 5. Darklurker
Kevin Wright
>Laurence Fire cleric in the small room? Yeah what a great fight
Carson Green
>00-ARETHA Was that really such a great boss? The only memorable thing was his ridiclous dash. I don't think any AC boss was good or memorable. Maybe Leos Klein from AC2.

By game:
DeS- Maneaters DaS- 4K DaS2- Fume Knight DaS3- Twin Princes Bloodborne- Ludwig Sekiro- SS Isshin
DeS: Either astraea or allant DaS: Sif or O+S DaS2: Alonne BB: Orphan DaS3: Either lorian and lothric or demon prince Sekiro: Too early to make a call but i'm leaning towards sword saint or genichiro

5. Phalanx For some reason I really liked it. Thought it's probably because it's a climax of the best first area in Sekiroulsborne. 4. Ancient Wyvern DS3 bosses are samey and boring as fuck so finally fighting something that wasn't just a dude in armor doing some stupid anime combos was actually a pleasant change. 3. Orphan of Kos 2. Owl 1 1. Fume Knight
Jose Evans
5. Storm King 4. Ludwig 3. Khalameet 2. Orphan of Kos 1. Rape ape
Thomas Diaz
sekiro ss, owl, demon of haterd, ape, fountainhead dragon cause its just fun. bb ludwig, cos, maria ds3 gael, tnk, friede and dancer cause set and hot. ds2 alonne, ivory ds artorias, manus, gwyn and priscilla cause she killed millions millions and I haven't harmed her once. just got ps3 with des, so I don't know who I will like
I'm low iq, I never had top list of anything cause low iq I guess. top is prolly priscilla cause she caused char wipes.
Jackson Myers
forgot to mention actual favorite, abhorrent in dungeon bb
Landon Ward
5. O&S 4. Sister Friede 3. Slave Knight Gael 2. OOK 1. Ludwig
Nothing in Shitkiro comes close. Not even Sword Saint.
Cameron Parker
5. Ludwig 4. Storm King 3. Manus 2. Isshin The Sword Saint 1. Owl (Father)
Fuck guys, if you would make a top 20 or even 30 boss fights in this decade more than half of them will be made by From Software. What could compete with memezaki's mind? DMC5 got few very good bosses, what else would you put on that list?
Grayson Martin
Gael is #1, that's all that matters.
Parker Williams
lunastra, vaal hazar without stun memery.
Hudson Gonzalez
5. Divine Dragon 4. Lady Maria 3. Maiden Astraea 2. Artorias 1. Sif
Daniel King
i didn't fight lunastra, only teostra, but yes, those fights were good too, i think i can put them on this list
Nathaniel Jones
gael lothric n lorian abyss watchers champ(chad) gundyr twin demons
DS3 bosses were by far the best fromsoft ever did
Ayden Diaz
I agree I'd give an honorable mention for Midir for being the only good monster boss they've made, also sick music
Gavin Ramirez
Here are my favorite bosses 5. Pinwheel 4. Deacons of the Deep 3. Prowling Magus and Congregation 2. Folding Screen Monkeys 1. Witches of Hemwick
Jaxson Sanders
monkeys were actually fun, and you get rice waifu for spanking them.
for witches they should have used chalice ones.

>Maiden Astraea >Sif >Ebrietas >Orphan of Kos In no particular order. Still digesting Sekiro though, would probably include Isshin or Guardian Ape
>gael based, gael is by far my favorite boss in ds3, he is challenging but not in a way that feels unfair, every phase of the fight was enjoyable imo and the setting is perfect.
>lothric n lorian might be my favorite non dlc boss in ds3 desu
>abyss watchers abyss watchers was the first boss i really struggled when when i was playing ds3 for the first time so they do have a special place in my heart but overall it's kind of a meh boss imo because of how easily he is to stagger and parry
>champ(chad) gundyr really easy boss once you learn which attacks to parry, still kind of a fun boss fight i guess because he is very aggressive
>twin demons i fucking hate this cancer boss, the first phase is only difficult because you are forced to juggle two enemies at once. also the second phase is easy af as long as you aren't too greedy.
Top 5, in descending order: >Abyss Watchers, DaSIII >Allant, DeS >Rooftop Genichiro, Sekiro >Sif, DaS >Champion Gundyr, DaSIII By games since DeS: >DeS: Allant >DaS: Sif or O&S >DaSII: fuck if I know >BB: Logarius or Maria, maybe Ludwig for the music >DaSIII: Abyss Watchers, literally the only good part of Farron Swamp and the fight I look forward to the most >Sekiro: Rooftop Genichiro, followed shortly by SSI
1. Ludwig (OST and phase transition was stellar, great lore build up, great dialogue) 2. SS Isshin (great build up, and mechanically fantastic) 3. Orphan (mechanically complex, great lore reveal, most grotesque boss intro) 4. Gwyn (a great emotional high point, felt like you climbed the world, best boss OST) 5. Gonna cheat, Maria or Owl 2 (both were balanced and fun bosses)
Honorable mentions: Gehrman, Genichiro, False King Allant, Twin Princes, Great Ape, Maiden Astrae, Gael (in that order)
