  1.Elden Ring <br>2.Bloodborne<br>3.Sekiro<br>4.DS2<br>5.DS3<br>6.DS1<br>7.Demons Souls<br><br>8. Elden Ring<br><br>Elden Ring can be the hardest game in the series but it can also be the absolute easiest which is why it’s at #1 hardest and at the bottom. And it was also my first souls game and it was really hard for me. The same thing is kinda with Sekiro too it can be the hardest in the series. But once you learn the combat system (it doesn’t become easy) but it sure does become a lot lot more manageable.

  Insanity that Elden Ring can be both on last and first place xD

  It’s obviously Sekiro. No summoning, no farming, no op builds. Just you and your ability to execute

  Sekiro is the one game that has people quitting before they really get started, so it’s worthy of that number 1 spot. <br><br>Once you master the combat it’s also one of the most rewarding and satisfying games to play. In no other game would I happily be stuck on the same boss for days and enjoy replaying and learning the move set until I succeed. It’s a masterpiece!

  Elden Rings bosses are by far the most mechanically difficult, input reading, delayed attacks, insane damage, long combos, roll catching, undodgeable moves which can only be dodged by exploiting tracking like waterfowl etc

  Sekiro to me was a game that once I mastered it and beat all the bosses and mini bosses in my first playthrough I was able to defeat them all again and again easily but! That damn first playthrough was the most difficult experience I’ve ever had with a game I haven’t died as many times in any of the fromsoft game as I have in Sekiro. Sekiro may always be my favourite game. Nothing has came close to topping it for me.

  Bloodborne never felt difficult for me because I guess I was so immersed by it because of how much I loved the environments

  People don’t understand that Demon Souls was extremely difficult because it was the first of its kind… I played it on my PS3 and let me tell you, it was the most hardcore experience. Only someone who played it in the original PS3 can actually share the challenges we overcome.

  Ds1 was maybe the hardest but in a different way. Because there are a lot of thing that the game doesn&apos;t tell you, like how to upgrade your number of estus flask (I beat Nito with 5 flask and it was very not funny) or others obscure mechanik. And in the time, this type of information were lot harder to get. But this applied only for the first playthrough

  Thank you friend, this was a very well compiled list and I agree 90%

  I finished all of the FromSoftware souls games except Sekiro. &nbsp;I just couldn’t get the “Deflect” skill down- and probably only finished 25% of it. &nbsp;All the other games offer multiple ways/strategies to win if weak in a particular skill set. &nbsp;But Sekiro is unforgiving. &nbsp;Regardless of the other tools the game provides you- if you cannot master the &nbsp; <br>Deflect- you won’t finish the game.

  I suck ass at parrying so you can imagine how much of a hard time I had on my first Sekiro play. I decided to go for platinum and I realized dodging and jumping is underrated in this game and almost never mentioned, it definitely adds to the fun factor in my later playthroughs.
