10 Hardest Soulsborne Bosses - Ranked

The most unrelenting boss in ALL of Soulsborne is undeniably this fight. Orphan of Kos looks like he will be a painless fight to end the Old Hunter's DLC for Bloodborne but don't be deceived. He will DESTROY you. Imagine all of the hardest things about bosses, put it together and you get this abomination. He is highly aggressive, moves dangerously fast, deals tons of damage with each attack, has brutal combos and that's just his first phase.

He will also delay some of his attacks and is very unpredictable with his wide range of attacks. When he gets into his second phase, he grows some wings and begins to two-hand his shrimp weapon. That is when the aforementioned becomes even worse as he will fly around and smash down randomly.

I personally had at least 30 attempts on this boss fight before finally defeating him and the best advice I can offer is study every move he makes. You won't be perfect with predicting his attacks and it will take multiple, multiple tries to get this fight down or sometimes you can get super lucky.

I recommend parrying 75% of his attacks in the first phase as you will eventually get the timing spot on and it makes the fight less stressful. The second phase on the other hand, I recommend attacking after he finishes smacking down from his aerial attack, there is a good half-second to get a good hit in and sometimes there will be other opportunities like that. Stack up on those blood vials too because you will absolutely need them all for this fight.

Once you have slain this shrimp man, take a deep breath and revel in the fact that you have slain the hardest Soulsborne boss ever.
