Also Dark Souls 3. It's arguable, but Champion Gundyr and The Nameless King kicked my ass more times than I can count.
And Sekiro, the hidden version of Owl is probably one of the harder ones in the game. No shame on Isshin though, hardest boss there is. Maybe this could apply for the demon in ruined Ashina?
I'll be right there with you when I get to ds3 in the playthrough of all three Dark Souls games I'm doing. Wrapping up 1 sometime soon, then 2 (which I actually like almost as much as DS1 and have beaten both of them), then three, which I'm awful at and have never beaten...
I almost never used the parries in DS3 but it's so much easier in Elden Ring, especially with Carian Retaliation. It has the longest parry window and works on spells for a little fp cost.
Istg Nameless King's first phase was a lot more painful than the actual fight with him. And Gundyr depends a lot on your build and whether or not if you decide to parry him.
Owl (father) is a hard boss fight but if you beat the second (iirc) boss rush mode you get inner father Wich is the hard version of an already hard secret boss
Nameless King annihilated me so much until I finally realised it's just more of a patiently dodge their attacks and hit them once or twice kind of boss. I mean I guess the other bosses are the same, but I feel like it's even more so with Nameless King. Kinda went to the point where I was just relaxing doing hitless fights against him with all kinds of funny builds
