10 From Software Bosses EVERYONE Hated Fighting

10. Lone Shadow Longswordsman - Sekiro

Sekiro took the Dark Souls and Bloodborne formula that players had become so accustomed to and said, "Hey, remember everything you learnt from playing our previous games? Well forget it all if you want to live."

The first few encounters of Sekiro put an emphasis on timing and patience, making you carefully manage your posture whilst slowly breaking down your enemies. That all changed when you drop down into the very well you start the game in and encounter the Lone Shadow Longswordsman.

The trick to defeating this samurai is pure aggression, which is more akin to the likes of Bloodborne. If you can just keep striking him fast enough, he won't even have a chance to kick you in the face.

But the biggest issue in this fight isn't the Longswordsman with his flurry of kicks. It's the camera. Being stuck in this tiny well means you have to deal with both this overly aggressive enemy, and making sure you don't get backed into a corner where you can't even see you or him.

And yes, he is more of a mini-boss than an actual boss, but that doesn't stop him from kicking you to death when your camera is stuck in the wall.
