Dificilísimo is the absolute superlative of difícil, formed with the suffix -ísimo, intensifying to 'extremely' or 'incredibly difficult'. Note that the written accent on difícil shifts in the superlative: dificilísimo, stressing the third-to-last syllable of the new, longer form. It is never comparative — use más difícil for comparisons.
