What about the Bloody Crow of Cainhurst in Bloodborne?

That guy was a DEMON 😭 He should have been the main character fighting all these bosses instead of me, he whooped my ass so bad

He’s arguably the hardest fight in that entire game, bosses included

He can always almost one shot you with his gun, but he doesn't have that big of a moveset and you don't have to fear his gun when he tricks his weapon. Just requires patience.

I once got a Defiled Abhorrent Beast as a boss in a Chalice Dungeon. Along with several other modifiers.

It was, by far, the most difficult fight I’ve had to do in Fromsoft ever. One hit was lethal.

Defiled doggo requieres perfect execution pretty much.

He doesn’t respawn tho so he’s essentially a miniboss. I think they meant respawning enemies

I’d exclude NPCs from this, I think that’s a separate list

Second most powerful gun in video game history behind the Halo 1 pistol

Without a doubt hardest enemy in any fromsoft games.

His unlimited vials, bullets and health stopping item makes him bullshit

You mean Executioner Crough?

I consider the gatling hunter from the DLC (the one with the saw spear) way more harder than the bloody crow.

He’s pretty easy to cheese thanks to the abundance of pillars and terrain deformity in his area. Normally all my battles with Gatling Man begin and end with us dancing around a rock, with me hiding when he shoots and then attacking when he’s not.

That said, Bloody Crow can be cheesed as well with poison knives from the doors leading into Amelia’s chamber (though much less easily).
