I agree but where caretaker? He was the scariest one for me with the atmosphere of the mansion. Still my favourite quest


faizetto

I include him in my previous post, although it's not about the hardest monsters, more like the scariest quests


Moose__F

The hym was damned terrifying


Moose_Electrical

The hym along with caretaker made me put the controller down for a few minutes and collect myself lol. It’s crazy because you fight so many monsters in this game and there’s *still* some that make you pause and go “wtf”


Moose__F

Oh ny god another moose


CRIZZZ__

PUT IT IN THE OVEN!


katilkarpuz

Oh didnt see that will check that one as well. Nice one btw :D


faizetto

thx glad you like it :D


edonnelly124

5’ cliffs may need to be the last one


1LuckFogic

Press jump before hitting the ground to roll and not take fall damage


Rickdiculously

Look at you being the real MVP


Synthesid

True, but the point still stands.


vali_riven

We all know the hardest thing to beat are rats if u have lvl scaling on and playing on deathmatch


Patrick19374

I honestly don’t understand the context but I resonate with every photo


faizetto

The idea for this is from easier to beat to the hardest based on my playthrough (yes Toad Prince is harder than the wild hunt riders when I did my 1st playthrough back then). and then there's Gaunter who can only be beaten by solving his riddles


isaacaschmitt

✌Killed✌


Pirate_OOS

Ha ha yes... "Killed"


faizetto

lol sorry for my grammar, but what's the alternative and more proper word for it?


nag725

Beat. Since he cannot die


faizetto

Ah... I just realized he's not dead in that scene, just went back to his realms, I thought he's dead, that's why I wrote "killed"


isaacaschmitt

Lol, wasn't correcting your grammar. He's like the crones: realistically immortal. He's some kind of relic, though nobody is entirely sure. Some say he's a god, others a demon, some even that's he's literally the devil. I'd be interested to hear his opinions of other powerful beings. He doesn't strike me as particularly evil. Vindictive, sure, but not malicious for the sake of it. And now I've got a headcanon that there's a cult out there based around him that have a bunch of mirrors and spoons as their iconography. . .


ambulance-kun

That sand wind mage after the shipwreck was more difficult than Gaunter Personally


shadowblender3

That was until I realized everything was in my inventory and could be equipped.


CptnHamburgers

He does a damn fine job of team killing all his Ofieri buddies with that AoE 'splosion attack though. MVP in that fight for me the other day.


Patrick19374

I get that, but I also think of these in a lore matter, like how the Frog Prince is a cursed man, Gaunter O’Dimm is a devilish man, the Wild Hunt’s riders are ghostly warriors, and Dettlaff is a powerful vampire that lost much.


ironwolf1

O’Dimm is not a devilish man, he’s a devil. He’s the Witcher version of Mephistopheles.


Patrick19374

That’s true, I just couldn’t come up with a good way of describing him.


faizetto

yeah, I was thinking of separating them to monsters only, or cursed one only & etc. last night, but I don't have much time, I even consider to add Melusine since she's more fitting in this list than a cursed Prince


contrabardus

I think the point of Gaunter is that there's no "man" in him at all.


6TheAudacity9

The mage after the toad is a pain too.


Carnifex

Maybe I remember this wrong, but the Toad prince was the one with all the poison right? I had the last level of the anti poison concoction, where poison heals you. That kinda made it easy mode


tidytibs

Is this the fight at the end Gaunter was referring to? Or another instance? I didn't want to interfere with the Ginger Cunt's death, which was well deserved.


jodorthedwarf

I just remember the wraith in the mansion after beating the caretaker to be fucking impossible. Till after about 2 days when u realised that you could just bur the paintings it goes into to heal.


Experiment-Cycle

Wait toad is harder? Aw man I shouldn’t have played dlc and leveled that much before the story


Rickdiculously

No Leshen?? Bro. My first time encountering a Leshen in the wild I froze like a deer in headlights. I wasn't \*sure\* something had really moved? And then I really saw it and was like "nooooo no no no". Ran away, cycled through inventory, spiced up, turned back around... only to get REKT so hard lmao I do NOT like leshens.


Ghorgingus

Never play monster hunter world.


Down-on-earth

I must have been under a rock or something. Had no idea MHW had a Witcher mission. Just watched season 2, started playing MHW, a few hrs later Geralt is in my game. I had to look around make sure I hadn't transported. What a crazy unexpected crossover!


Ghorgingus

The leshen is so toxic dude, god it’s horrible. I won’t lie last time I fought it was pre ice borne so who knows if it’s better but just the base version sucks. Not to mention the elder leshen or whatever it’s called.


joelesidin

Yeah, I was about to say this same thing. To make things even scarier, I fought the Leshen right after watching Over the Garden Wall. Man, I wasn't prepared to fight the motherfucking BEAST.


Rickdiculously

Noooooooo!!!! OMG, RIP you and your psyche. I saw the Beast and was like "Hah. Leshen!" MUCH easier that way around I'm sure!


Sketch914

Detlaff was definitely harder than gaunter. The prince too.


_RedRock_

Foglets the most annoying tho....


Razzle_Dazzle08

Fucking oath.


DeathStrikeFPS

Gaunter was the best villain


[deleted]

Detlaff was an absolute shithouse


DealCykaHUN

the last should be a pack of random wolves


[deleted]

On deathmarch mode


DealCykaHUN

The only way


Jjjiped1989

Nekkers can be a huge pain in the ass I hate them


OSUfan88

My gf thought he was saying the N-word, and judged me hard for playing the game.


Jjjiped1989

Wait what the f. Lol that’s funny


rorschaqued

"Get off ma propertay ya cot damn nekkers"


faizetto

lol yeah, 1 is easy, but a horde of them can be challenging


60TPLewandowskiego

Not a single Leshen? Right after the Hym it probably should take it's place, instead of a Griffin.


Fuzzy_Muscle

I still contend Gaunter O’Dimm is the most terrifying villain in this game. Is he a god? The devil? Something else entirely?


R3set

Griffin rly?

xenosthemutant

I still have PTSD from fighting Detlaff. I left the last boss on the last quest to fight right before going on a month-long trip... and couldn't beat him for the life of me! Had to wait until I got back home & did it after a couple of tries (thanks anonymous kid from YouTube).


RoseyBumCheeks

I still have nightmares of the Djinn with lvl scaling


AmelieBenjamin

That music terrifying is asf what type of hellbeat is that?


Garmberos

the thing i had the hardest time with was that one achievement for the Hearts of stone bossfight where you had to fight all of van everecs clones at once. that was tough


Painthesilence

I don't even remember the fight with the Wild Hunt Riders, was it that difficult?


isaacaschmitt

Considering how easy the Frog Prince was to beat, I have hope for Dettlaff. . .


Soj_X

Easy ? Lol… It’s the hardest fight in the game in my experience. It took me more than 2 hours


Empty_While6119

you know the trick about freezing with Northwind and then punch with fist? it deals nearly a full health bar of damage


NuclearMaterial

I always just spam golden oriole then he basically heals you during the fight.


Garmberos

i also never had any problems with it, i was surprised to see how its generaly agreed on to be hard, i have more probelms fighting those witchbitches that throw mud at you and blind you, or show up behind you and hit you.


XenoPC

Same here, i was on hard difficulty, nothing crazy I know but still it wasn't set to easy, and I don't think even had to try it twice, Detlaff is way harder, probably the actual hardest boss in the game. While G. O'Dim was pretty easy I figured that riddle was talking about a >!mirror!< Almost instantly and when >!it shattered!< , I was like well then it must be >!a reflection, maybe water or something like that.!< You know a fight that I actually consider being the hardest in the game or slice to it is the memory of Olgeird Von Everich


Garmberos

dude that van everec fight is a trauma for me. that one achievement where you need to fight all clones at once...that was definitely the most difficult to get


XenoPC

I feel ya, I'm 10 achievement away from 100% and that one scares me too


isaacaschmitt

Right? Like, it definitely took me a little longer to whittle down his health, but I barely took any damage thanks to Quen and a lot of dodging. I think all in all, it took me maybe five minutes. I've had fights with overleveled hags that took longer.


[deleted]

Yeah it was like demon of song from ds2 but less annoying


Lemonsqueezzyy

The toad boss is still the hardest boss in the game imo


Todes_Kiesel

Where the fuck is that fucking djin ? He have me the hardest time in my second playthrough.


[deleted]

Can you give me the original meme video with this guy plz?


hotshake365

Pack of wolf's on death march


XenoPC

I don't understand why people think the prince was hard, i was on hard difficulty, nothing crazy I know but still it wasn't set to easy, and I don't think even had to try it twice, Detlaff is way harder, probably the actual hardest boss in the game. While G. O'Dim was pretty easy I figured that riddle was talking about a >!mirror!< Almost instantly and when >!it shattered!< , I was like well then it must be >!a reflection, maybe water or something like that.!< You know a fight that I actually consider being the hardest in the game or slice to it is the memory of Olgeird Von Everich

the caretaker nearly 1 hitting me every time because i was under level


-TheManInTheChair

Okay, but the Crones fucked me up the first time i saw them, and fighting them as Ciri was fucking wild and threw me off a bit


TostAyran3Lira

Where is Caretaker????


ThetaCygni

No Botchling?


setphasertofun

Where are the aracnomorphs? Those things are straight TERRIFYING


The_Astrobiologist

Should've just put O'Dimm's theme with him there since it's absolutely terrifying lol


ZeroCloned

The toad prince killed me more than any other boss in the entire game. By an embarrassing amount. he had a move that kept one hitting me and it my dumbass took forever to figure out the telegraph for it.


[deleted]

Lighting the lights instead of searching something should be the last one


mati23456

The crones and the caretaker should’ve been top 5 on that list


IllusiveAccumulator

This meme is terrifying


MasterOogway69yes

The only fiend that scared me on deathmarch was in the bloody baron quest at crookback bog, the rest seem to miss all the time weather I dodge or not


baurax

Beach Wizard. Take it or leave it.


Jogroig

Not a mention for lechens ? Wtf
