10 Hardest DUAL Boss Fights In Gaming History

4. Godskins - Elden Ring

Because Elden Ring is regarded as Hidetaka Miyazaki's crown jewel, it's easy to see why it's been lauded with every gaming award imaginable. But since this is a Soulsborne title we're talking about, it's no surprise that it's really, really freaking hard.

Although there are many bosses who will ensure you become well-acquainted with the Game Over screen, two that stand out are the Godskins. By utilising his powerful magic, Godskin Noble can decimate your health bar with ease. With his unparalleled speed and lethal rapier, Godskin Apostle can end you in seconds.

As daunting as it is to challenge the Godskins separately, facing them together is a whole other ordeal. Since conventional tactics aren't particularly effective against this couple, you'll have to use your Spirit Summons to stand a chance. You'll also need an unrealistic level of precision and timing to avoid the ghostly pair pinning you down with their combos. Because you can't risk being exposed for too long, you can only deal a tiny amount of damage to the duo at any one time.

The worst moment during this fight is the first time you successfully kill one of the Godskins. With one less target to worry about, you assume the battle will be twice as easy.

Unfortunately, the deceased Godskin will resurrect itself within moments, unless you slay its partner in quick succession.
