Spoiler alert, Dark Souls 3: The Ringed City is hard. Very hard.

 

I know this probably comes as a surprise to you all.

HOW. DARE. YOU.

I might get the Dark Souls games eventually, but I'm doing another playthrough of Mass Effect 2 on the hardest difficulty, Fus Ro Dah-ing people off of cliffs (Mostly Lydia), farming for Octavia, and trying to beat the final boss in the Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina DLC on TVHM with weapons about 4 levels too low (Excluding my SWORDSPLOSION.)

Some day...

separately, or all in one game? ^^; because last I checked Shepard couldn't shout people off buildings (though mine did headbutt one off a skyscraper that one time)

I still occasionally replay the suicide mission for the sheer awesomeness. 13 people vs a city sized station of hero killers: the 13 people win. shame about the later iterations of the M-76 though

Fair warning, if you ever get any of the souls games, you should know that Dragons in Skyrim don't have anything on Dragons in Dark souls.

It can't be as hard as the ones you find in monster hunter :s (or maybe it can. I have nothing to compare between the two)

I don't know, MaleShep has his shouty moments  (Next time you hear a MaleShep rant, listen to the voice actor's Canadian accent.)

Considering I one-shot one  with a dagger, I'm going to assume you're right. The hardest Dragon related fight I've ever had was me punching Alduin to (almost) death at level 20 with a stealth character on top of Throat of the World. Sure, I used a Khajiit, but I still punched out a dragon called "The World Eater".

This isn't even a full dragon. If the monster hunter ones are worse, I need to see this.

The link is a random video I found, but I think it gets the point across

just to name a few, and that's not counting the newer ones. Really, the entire premise is beating up kaijuu and carving equipment out of their body parts to beat up stronger kaijuu.

Here, have a size chart

Convincing elderitch abominations to join your fight with your voice and will is not quite the same as literally shouting fire and ice out of your mouth ^^;

I beat Alduin with a level 199 dragonborn. Do you think I'm a bit overprepared?

Considering my above mentioned Khajiit assassin (Who I miiiiiiiiiiiight have named Mittens) punched him (With Fortify Unarmed gloves/ring) to death (I only use daggers with the DB hand wraps for the x30 stealth damage), unless you killed him with a fork, you may have been overprepared.

Legendary dragonbone full armor and weapons sets (yes, I brought the full armory with me), max enchanted, durnehviir summon, all shouts maxed. I honestly think I could've prepared a bit more.

You forgot to get the single most powerful spell in the game: Flames.

But seriously, Dark Brotherhood armor is the only thing that makes stealth good. Unlike Fallout, where you max out stealth, walk up to a non-hostile NPC (I always did this to Caesar when I went Wild Card/NCR), crouch, and reverse pickpocket a pulse grenade into him and his guards, remember you have the Meltdown perk, panic, and watch the entire tent (Including you) explode in a blue/green sphere of death.

Oh, I'm not saying that Dark souls dragon's are the largest (though the one shown is the smallest in the series), but in a game where each death sets you back significantly, even without losing your character's humanity, these guys are horrifying to fight. The devs also place them very strategically, usually on long bridges where they can cook you from afar.

 

And they aren't even the hardest fight in the series. For me, no, that title goes to the fume knight.

Profuse swearing in the video, btw. Props to the uploader though for beating that fight on ng+10 with a broken soup ladle
