Are we assuming that they are guided by grace and thus get infinite respawns and never lose it like the player? If so, lots of them probably could. Infinite attempts basically guarantees the win no matter how bad the odds are. But if we assume that they can lose their grace after giving up hope or losing their sanity then… Gael for sure. And possibly Artorias. Including Bloodborne, Maria might could pull it off. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameless would definitely kick some serious ass, but Radahn would obliterate the King of the Storm. Being that gravity magic in general does enormous damage to flying enemies.

If anyone gets salty about a five hundred foot warrior-pyromancer taking advantage of their massive size to roll away and try to flatten the player, then they're a hussy. Fire Giant moves, fights and evades like how I'd expect a living mountain of a warrior to. Losing a leg hardly dampered his spirit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say whatever rules they had to follow in Dark Souls remains the same, or translates as best it could. That said, I'd agree Artorias and Maria would have good chances. With no dark to weaken and corrupt, or primordial dark-superpowered man to pummel him, Artorias might just be damn near unstoppable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radahn would beat him, but wouldn’t lose his resolve and would keep at it. Plus, he presumably gets an army of summons for that fight. Nameless might actually fair better than anyone besides maybe Gael. If he breaks, it’ll probably be Malenia who does it. He’ll have to watch her kill his dragon again and again and again, painfully, with the Scarlet Rot. I think that could be his breaking point. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameless is also horrifyingly fast, faster than Malenia even in some attacks. I can see him running his swordspear through Malenia with relatively good effort, but struggles against her final blooming form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s essential for beating Malenia since her great rune heals her with every blow landed. She will be at full strength by the time she kills his dragon. And her phase 2 obliterates basically anyone who’s not a twenty-foot-tall demigod warlord or a Tarnished who is too stupid to die. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager it would be a Godskin Apostle that does him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Actually, Malenia is optional, so I guess they could theoretically just choose not to fight her. Actually, can’t you beat the game only killing three demigods (Morgott + two of your choice)? If they aren’t going for 100%, then that probably opens the door for several more potential victors. Though I honestly think everything from Horah Loux onward would still stonewall the vast majority of Soulsborne bosses. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Here's one for just me and Balrog since y'all forsook Sekiro. @BigBossBalrog How well do you think Isshin would have faired against Malenia? Both Sword Saint and mortal? It'd be the absolute extreme end of the spectrum of badass for Isshin to sidestep and perfectly deflect her entire waterfowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 It really is a shame only me and Balrog best Sekiro here. Isshin really is one of the coolest characters From has made. Easily up there with Gael. The more mundane of the two final battles against him is when your character is being possessed by Shura. This man is literally dying from an illness at his advanced age and yet he wills himself to live a little longer. Because he's the last man with enough power that has the slightest hope in hell of putting you down. Here he's so fucking skilled and determined that not only can he effortlessly dodge the players best attacks, but in phase 2 when Sekiro is just about fully consumed by Shura and the whole arena erupts into flame. Isshin redirects your own flames against you in the coolest way possible When you're not about to plunge Ashina into a hellscape worse than it already is and he passes away from his illness. Isshin later gets resurrected beyond his prime. And fights you as a demigod, it's lit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
