Now,gamers on r/Eldenringhave been discussing the worstElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreeboss fight. While there are many contenders for the title, the consensus is that Senessax is the worst boss, as the original poster pointed out, and several others agree. According to these players, the main issue is not that Senessax is one of themost difficultElden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtreebosses, but that the fight itself is very boring because the boss has a very high amount of health, but is not very quick and has difficulty hitting the player. Both magic users and archers can stand away from it, while melee fighters could just use Torrent to avoid most of the danger. To make matters worse, Senessax is very large and can’t dodge attacks properly, so it’s trivially easy to hit.

Senessax was not the onlyElden Ringboss to be criticized in the discussion, though. Other players also pointed out that the Divine Beast Dancing Lion and the Commander Gaius were pretty annoying fights. However, instead of being easy and boring like Senessax, they are way harder, which irritated some gamers.
