Pontiff Sulhyvan of Irithyll of the Boreal Valley has been kicking my ass. The dude is too quick. He's forcing me out of my comfort zone. So far, whenever a boss is kicking my ass, I back up and fall back on pyromancies (I beat Watchers my first try like this lol). This guy is too quick. My fireballs are useless. He barely gives me enough time to drink estus before knocking me back down to 1/3 health. I've realized he's easier if I 2-hand my uchigatana though. Blocking his attacks is a death sentence, so you have to go full Bloodborne mode on this fight. I can now get him down to his second phase relatively easily, but then I have two of him raping me which sucks. I try to focus on his phantom to wreck it, but he is always an attack behind and phucks me up as I'm hacking at it. Cool boss fight, and I'm slowly figuring him out, but its been rough.
On a side note, that skeleton lord boss scared the **** out of me when I first saw him. Jesus @ that reveal
Champion Gundyr at 9? My ass. Easily harder than the sage, greatwood tree, voidt, pontiff, or the watcher. This dude was rough. Took me hours to beat him today
I just beat Nameless King after 6 tries by myself. I try to beat all bosses without summons my first playthrough. Kinda odd, I had MUCH less difficulty with Nameless King than I did with The dancer. She kept kicking my ass over and over. Took me 10 tries to kill her. Honestly the 2 hardest bosses for me were Dancer and Pontiff Sulyvhan.
That being said, The Nameless King so far has been the MOST EPIC. Seriously, that fight is maybe the greatest boss battle in the series.
EDIT: For reference, my build is pure melee. I'm currently SL 90. 50 Strength, 22 Dex, 25 Vigor. Don't use any miracles or spells.
Using a max +5 Black Knight Sword (it's like the Claymore on steroids)

Can't wait to fight him. Currently, I've gotten up through Dragonslayer Armor. I’ve taken a few days break after beating him. Anyway, I too refuse to use summons (though I often help others) save for that one guy who gives you “By my Sword” gesture. Though we both died to the Pontiff anyway and I ended up having to solo him. So far he is easily the most difficult boss and really the only one who frustrated me.
Yah, Pontiff was really the first boss that I was like....Holy shit how am I gonna beat this guy? Lol. The thing I love about the Souls franchise is how frightened and weak it can make even the best souls players feel.

As far as Champion goes, yah. I killed him on my second try. Really fun boss though, relentless as hell once he gets to that second stage. I had 15 estus and maxed out bonfire by then tough....kinda made it easier.

Really? Damn man, start burning those undead bone shards... Your life will become much easier. See, I don't summon people but I sure as hell use all the rest of the in game tools to my disposal.

Well, consider your first playthrough a challenge run of sorts. Well done to make it this far considering.
To be honest, the main reason I like maxing out my heals is due to pvp. Especially since I do a lot of invading I need as much healing as I can get...constantly getting 3 and 4 v1'd.
