10 Most Brutally Hard Levels In Dark Souls History

9. The Ringed City

From Soft really upped its game for Dark Souls 3's last hurrah as far as difficulty is concerned, and even attempting to make your way through its meaty runtime on New Game can be an agonizing learning curve due to the sheer number of new ideas being thrown into the mix.

It's mildly disappointing that it took two sequels and a bunch of DLCs to get those creative juices flowing once more, but as a self-contained microcosm of ideas, Ringed City feels nothing like what came before it, and you will truly need balls of steel to come out on the other end unfazed by the challenges it provides.

I'm hesitant to gush about the finer details that make Ringed City so compelling in case there's still some out there yet to play it, but just know that brute-forcing your way through its inhabitants will never work. Think carefully about every move you make.
