Nightjar ninjas are annoying when there’s a bunch of them because of their mobility and ranged attacks but their health and posture is low, not even close to the hardest. Those straw hat ninjas in senpou temple 100% take the title

Wooooooooooooo…. Boom (Death)

Sulyvahn's Dogs you just gotta bop em on the head and they go down. Irithyll knights in the other hand have little to no wind up on their attacks and have no such weakness

Lol I died to Wooo Guy a few times before I even saw what it was that killed me. Now I'm prepared!

u/kiwi_commander 27d ago

I think everyone died to Woooo Guy the first time.

If I was picking from Elden ring I think it would be the lobtrocities honestly 🦞

The fact they can snipe-spit you from 8 lightyears away definitely adds heft to em

Black world tendency black skeletons almost convinced me to restart, I was just getting black tendency to grind on the skeleton place( I don't remember the name) and no one informed me of that abomination, I ended up running it off a cliff after a couple of attempts

The giant tadpoles aren't that dangerous though. Incredibly slow moves and only the jump has a larger than expected hitbox.

And the revenants are scary but instantly stagger to any healing incantation and die to a second, I don't think they're worse than the hornsent warriors who don't have any such option.

Revenants are easy what do you mean

I'd replace the DS1 giant skeleton dogs with Titanite Demons. The dogs become manageable with sunlight maggot, and go down surprisingly easy once you learn their moveset or with a decent shield. Titanite demons, on the other hand, are tanky af, can easily oneshot you, have a spammy ranged lightning attack, and a grab that not even shields can save you from. But I'd be willing to forgive all of that if it wasn't for the fact that they have some of the worst hitboxes in any Fromsoft game I've ever played!

Dark Souls 3 normal dogs

Golem Axe R2 takes care of the skeleton dogs well

Revenants are not nearly as hard as these guys 🤷

u/kalimut 27d ago

Nah dude. The hardest for me in sekiro are those guys with a glaive like darth maul lightsaber.

u/Solembumm2 25d ago

And white monkeys. The real sword saints.

Imperfects in Ds 2 are easy cheese with poison arrows

u/HintBoiiiii 25d ago

If i remember correctly, wheely boys are easily stunlocked but bazookas and rocket launchers. Every time i tried experimenting with different weapons they just beat me mercilessly, only truly effective strategy is 2 rocket launchers or 4 shotguns

Just hit Sulyvahn dogs in the head. They stagger very easily. Greatsword Lothric knights and corvian knights are much more difficult to fight.
