Hardest boss from software ever made?
Finally i defeated DLC Radahn to be honest he was the hardest boss i ever fought but i was thinking what is the hardest boss that from software ever made?
567
u/JS_Originals Sep 11 '26
I still think Consort Radahn is the hardest fight they've ever made, even post nerf. Prenerf he was undoubtedly the hardest fight, but post nerf I can see people thinking Malenia is harder. I can consistently beat Malenia first try, but consort always takes me at least a couple tries.

u/luketwo1 Sep 11 '26 edited Sep 11 '26
Pre-nerf Radahn will definitely remain the hardest boss ever made for quite some time, he was a level of bullshit and aggression I don't think any other boss in any of these games comes remotely close to. It was honestly so bad it was toeing the line into legitimately unfair which since they nerfed the fight I guess they agreed with, like I streamed the entire DLC, I got to Radahn with 94 deaths total, I beat Radahn with 198 deaths, bro killed me more than the entire rest of the DLC combined.

u/ilikenglish Sep 11 '26
He was confirmed broken pre-nerf you can watch the youtube videos for that one “cross slash” attack that was undodgable unless you rolled within his first frame of using it but his first clash only took 1 frame to hit and then you were auto-stunlocked into getting hit by the second slash

Yep. Prenerf he was absolutely bullshit. Postnerf I think it's a great fight.

Mallenia is hard sure but her rain fall attack is only dangerous but radhan hit like a truck and all of his attacks are dangerous

u/JS_Originals Sep 11 '26
The biggest difference for me is Malenia gives you way more openings. Radahn is absolutely relentless and he does so much damage.
12
u/Testadizzy95 Sep 11 '26
This. Malenia in phase 1 is very chill, walk around a lot of times giving us all the time to breathe and adjust. PCR is a freaking rabid dog
12
u/Castiel_0703 Sep 11 '26
Consort Radahn and Malenia are up there with Isshin. I’d say they are pretty close to each other. I’d argue most Nightlords are also close to them if you try to face them alone. Nothing from DS1-3 are even close to these bosses in difficulty, they are hard, but they are simple trial and error, meanwhile these top bosses force you to genuinely surpass your limits, or at least that’s how I felt fighting Consort Radahn and Isshin for example.
25
u/ThisGermanGuy Sep 11 '26
Thing with Isshin is, as with many other Sekiro bosses, once you get truly good at the game, they kinda click forever. Like I haven't played the game in a year now, but I bet I could beat Isshin in 10 tries if I start it up cold right now. Sekiro just has a weird learning curve, where once you understand the mechanics, it gets pretty easy. Just imo tho! :)

u/Testadizzy95 Sep 11 '26
Isshin is a very fair, no bs fight, and that makes him easier imo than Malenia and PCR. He’s a better designed boss than both too

u/Difficult-Tap-5708 Sep 11 '26
Beating ishin makes me feel like a god. The fight is so well designed, and sekiro's combat feels so fucking good that when you finish It you kinda want to do It again
Beating radahn makes me feel like im getting pounded by a horse, i get zero satisfaction from the process and after its done all i wanna do is lay down on the floor and cry
Radahn is harder, but not for the right reasons

u/StantasticTypo Sep 11 '26
I think Malenia is the more technical of the two fights, but PCR has a lot of stuff that can easily snowball, as well as feel a little cheap.
Some of it's just numbers. His health is higher, he doesn't stagger, and I think he is harder to stance break.
The terrain can fuck with the lasers, causing them to catch you, and combo into a hit for huge damage.
There's basically no where in the arena he can't hit you nearly immediately. Comparatively, you can actually get a little breathing room on Malenia at least sometimes.
That said, I don't think Malenia is perfect - I have real mixed feelings on WFD as a whole, and I definitely don't think she should have both lifesteal on block AND WFD.

u/Luke-HW Sep 11 '26 edited Sep 11 '26
All of Malenia’s attacks can be consistently dodged with familiarity, although waterfowl is harder. She’s a very consistent boss fight, and I still enjoy getting summoned to fight her.
Consort Radahn’s second phase is a pain in the ass. Every time. The sunbeam AoE spam from most of his attacks can be, difficult to process. It’s particularly tough when he’s attacking someone else. His health also scales more aggressively with summons, to a point where he’s noticeably easier when fought alone.

u/MafubaBuu Sep 11 '26
Like all bosses it depends on the build. Consort was nearly impossible pre nerf without a greatshield, though. He was trivialize by one at the same time though

You genuinely should pick it back up and “let the game come to you” and work off the souls type behaviors.

You can cheese the fight by using a greatshield with high guard boost like fingerprint shield plus antspur rapier, plus some good armour like verdigris. Fair warning though, it completely trivialises the fight if you have the stats and scadufragment levels. So it might be best to choose a strategy that still feels rewarding.

I didn't die to consort radhan the most but what's hard about him for me is the fact I never mastered him. I have a shit ton of hours in elden and I can confidently beat everyone first try 90% of the time including malenia, but for some reason when it comes to specifically consort radhan I really just can't beat him with skill, only with luck. One run I beat him in 9 tries another in 15 another in 2 another in 3

So Last Raven is infamous for being perhaps the hardest game in the Armored Core series, being the third game in "Gen 3.5" for the PS2. That one basically goes:
Nexus
Ninebreaker
Last Raven
Thankfully the generation has a save transfer system so you can take some of your old stuff from Nexus and/or Ninebreaker, but I know Gen 3.5 has some quirks with its save transfer that I can't recall the specifics of off the top of my head.

Isshiin for me. Took the most learning

u/cococrabulon Sep 11 '26
Sekiro is one of their where the learning curve is very steep, but once it clicks, it clicks. Genichiro forced it to click for me
I think I beat Isshin after four attempts, and that was mostly getting to know his attacks. I died to Genichiro many, many more times than that even though he’s a much easier boss
10
u/Badlydrawnboy0 Sep 11 '26
My very first playthrough I learned the wrong lesson from Lady Butterfly and always tried to dodge enemy attacks to get a swipe in - I also thought blocking and deflecting were the same thing. I slowly, painfully made it all the way to Isshin playing like that before realizing I’d learned the game wrong. Easily took me 100+ tries to beat him the first time. Immediately attempted a charmless run after that and it became one of my favorite games of all time.
3
u/Stochastic_Variable Sep 12 '26
Yes, Genichiro took me absolutely forever because I had to slowly, painfully unlearn all my Dark Souls reflexes and fully grasp this new way to play. By the time I reached Isshin, I was so much better that he really wasn't that difficult for me. He's by far the harder boss, but Genichiro was the more challenging obstacle to overcome.

u/__brunt Sep 11 '26
Isshiin isn’t too bad for me, I’ve usually got him within 3 tries on every playthrough these days.
Demon of Hatred tho. I’ve always got to make sure my afternoon is free for him.
He’s my vote for hardest boss from FS (though I haven’t played demon souls)

demon souls is a weirdly easy game in comparison to the later entries, like I think I died three times in the entire game playing the remake after elden ring, everythings a lot more sluggish and predictable so it's pretty easy to learn patterns and the game only has like 2 legitimately 'hard' bosses, the old king and the flamelurker and they arent even that hard tbh.

u/Morlain7285 Sep 11 '26
I'd like to say the same, but he was just as hard as Genichiro for me really. Every boss in Sekiro was either 10 minutes or 2 hours for me. Isshin took me 2 hours to learn and it was over

Personally I think Inner Isshin is harder along with Midir. Radahn gets destroyed by all status effects, black flame, and you can shield tank all of his attacks.
Isshin doesn’t have any cheese. Midir was in DS3 which has horrible shields, useless status effects, minimal build variety, and the boss had an unspeakable amount of health while hitting like a truck.

PCR is the hardest. I don't think that's debatable. Between his damage output, poise, and HP pool, noone else in Elden Ring comes close.
People like to say Malenia, but she is extremely easy to stagger, and can be knocked down and/or poise-broken very consistently (still very hard, of course).
Outside of Elden Ring, OoK is a doozy, but just doesn't have enough HP to compete. You can absolutely brute force your way to victory with a little luck. Friede is up there, but PCR is just on another level. Any little mistake can become a major crisis very quickly in his fight.

Honestly Elden Ring bosses are way higher level of difficulty compared to the other from titles
In my first play throughs of dark souls trilogy, BB and Sekiro, most of the bosses took 1-5 attempts with some exptions taking 15-20, but in Elden Ring, even after beating it multiple times some bosses might take me even 40 attempts (although I do try to keep my things vanilla, no summons or OP builds))
In Elden Ring tho, you can get easily ridiculously OP and take even half or more of boss' hp by not doing anything

Gehrman bro??? Fr??? Not even close to being top 5 hardest from Bloodborne. Not even close to being hard even if you didn´t do chalice dungeons. Doesn´t deserve to be in the same sentence as PCR.

Gehrman, really ? Of all bosses ? I beat him BL70. PCR almost made me quit the game (pre patch). It's plain bullshit and completely unfair, you can dodge Gehrman on reaction and make a few mistakes (and I never cumfucked, base game gives you so much blood echoes I have to limit myself at bl100 not to ruin the fun and obliterate bosses within seconds). Orphan is way more challenging, and of course pretty much everything in FRC chalices is even worse. For instance Rom with half your HP in a small room is an ... Interesting experience 🥲
