I just realized I've been watching since like 2014 , I'm impressed at how relevant u guys still are all this time later , thanks for the 10 years of entertainment !
16:30 What's interesting about the Mr Freeze boss fight is that the higher difficulty you chose the more tactics you have to use against him. If you have the game set to hard mode you have to use every single strategy you've learned up to that point to take him down. Since the rest of the game lets you choose what moves you want to do, stealth or direct, having a boss fight where you're required to use different tactics each time because Freeze learns and adapts is honesty really cool.
I loved playing that boss. It didn't seem that challenging because all you had to do was do everything you learned at that point. Pretty unique compared to typical bullet/damage sponge bosses in other games.
Wanted to add something about the Mr. Freeze boss fight so basically if you first take down freeze from behind (the silent takedown which you generally use on goons) and then run for the nearest statue of Nora and destroy it then it creates a small window for you to do the silent takedown from behind once again. Its difficult to do since you have to be real quick but you are gonna feel like a total boss for using the same move twice in this boss fight.
You can also get Intel on all possible ways to damage him as you do the normal story by pressing the map button (need almost all of them in NG+). Just went back through on NG+ and managed to leave Detective Vision on too long, so it got shut down. Thankfully I was on the last hit or two for him.
The Freeze fight in Arkham City was so much fun! If I remember right, you had to exploit every technique available in the room to take him down on the hardest difficulty.
Actually you can take him out early in the game, and never do the sniper dual. But I do agree it's an extremely satisfying back and forth. Kojima really out did himself with 3.
Cthun in World of Warcraft. The 40 man raid coordination, and mechanics were insane. And that doesn't even take into account what had to happen to even unlock the fight.
The mister freeze boss fight never gets enough credit. Very happy to see it made this list, it’s the best boss fight to actually feel and think like Batman
Just wanted to add, the most effective way to beat the end, is use Thermal Goggles it allows you to see footprints left behind, so when you hit him, you can see the direction he went and even see where he ended up once he posts himself up again
OMG , I love the Boss fight in Arkham City , where Batman and Mr Freeze go at it .Cause one those fights where you have change your tactics , in order to defeat him .Yup , one the sweetest fights in Arkham City .But there is a lot great things about Arkham City , that's pretty sweet .
Remnant 2's final boss deserved to be on this list. Not only very complicated with a horrid graphical nightmare arena, the fight was such a departure in difficulty from anything else in the game that it was stunning when first attempted. Took a couple days to learn, to get lucky, and to defeat it.. and ensured that I was not going to touch the DLC through fear of something similar....
Not many people touched this game but for me personally, The flower final boss from Drakengard 3 would be the most ridiculous and hardest boss fight ever. It really deserves a mention here.
I want to mention Duma from Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia on 3ds. Throughout the game you have two parties: 1 for Alm and 1 for Celica. In the final fight besides having to go through a whole dungeon, you now have to choose units from both teams to to form a new party to take on Duma. Duma(dragon) and his followers constantly spawn minion after minion (6 at a time every time they cast) and you need to defeat them as you reach duma. There is even poison on the ground ticking at you're health...It's a slog of a battle and Duma can easily obliterate your team. For a FE it's easily the hardest Boss ever.
The last boss of Nine Sols was indeed very time consuming. At the beginning doing non-stop perfect parries to all incoming attacks was hard enough, but the last phase was especially unfair to be honest :D When Eigong was doing those hypersonic combos from left to right my tactic was to hover above as much as possible to avoid those attacks all together. I don't remember exactly, but in took me about 3-4h in total to beat her :)
Gilgamesh was my favorite boss this year! Like 15 attempts at like 15 minutes each. Dude was super fun I was smiling the whole time. Difficulty wise he’s a joke though compared to some of the NG+ optional fights. Like he was hard, but they were HARD.
After I found out that the secret boss from the first Octopath Traveler game came back in Octopath Traveler 2, I just didn't try to beat it this time around because it took me years just to beat it in the first game just so I could be prepared for Octopath Traveler 2. When I played Super Mario RPG, I had to plan out an entire strategy JUST to get ready to beat Crulex the second time around in that game. I was so happy that I finally beat him that I cried because I know that his second form is harder compared to the final boss in that game. I remember fighting against Spamton Neo in Deltarune Chapter 2, it seems like each chapter of the game has one secret boss. In Chapter 1 there was the Jester and in Chapter 2 there's Spamton (aka Spamton Neo after he has gain so much power). It took me longer to beat Spamton Neo than it did the Jester and with both of them I used the pacifist run with trying to make the Jester tired and cutting all the wires that Spamton Neo has. It took me months to beat Spamton Neo and I did it.
I played all week after school for hours and all through the weekend till I finally beat The End for the first time. At the time it was incredibly frustrating but looking back now.. easily the most epic boss fight I've ever had. I'm so so glad I resisted looking up how to beat him.
Save the Runepowder Bomb, put your party in Globe of Invulnerability, detonate the bomb - wipe out all 4 pillars - the rest of the fight is attrition. An Open-hand Monk can permanently lock down Raphael while his team deal with the other remaining enemies - who are still reeling from the massive explosion. If you managed to convince Yurgir to join you, the fight is even easier - but better not, because the f*cker has a tendency to detonate the Bomb immediately when he sees it, and he has so much DEX that his initiative always overrules yours, giving you no chance to shield up. Instead, wait for Yurg to do his thing, then pop a Globe, and just for effect - throw the Bomb at Ralphy just when his song was starting.
Izax from Star Wars the Old Republic Online is also pretty complicated. As far as I remember it has 8 phases, with 2 of them being insta-wipes if you screw up, and also several puzzle phases. You need at least 8 people with perfect understanding of all phases and completely maxed out gear to stand a chance. As far as I can remember, it took my raid team at the time around 2-3 hours to beat it the first time we attempted it, and that was even after spending hours reading guides and having notes available while we were fighting the boss.
In Octopath Traveler 2, there are some optional fights that you can access from the title screen after the final boss that are even more difficult. You can use Partitio Sidestep / Magic Reflection + Seal of Diffusion to negate all forms of damage, trivializing the boss mentioned in this video.
Destiny raids seem tough but breaking down each part one at a time makes it simple. There is usually always 1 to 3 people who know what they are doing that are willing to help everyone like myself. Riven was one of the most memorable raids to beat and was cheesable for so long people just by passed the mechanics for years if they wanted to.
I probably did around 70-80 runs and not once have I been in a group that did it legit lol. Which is a shame, because learning and mastering the mechanics are what compelled me to do raids in the first place.
@@exiaxzero same brother. If it's cheeseable I cheese. Its the guardian way. Kinda why Rhulk was such a cool fight, you had no choice (other than that weird Winterbite cheese) to fight him like a man.
One of my proudest gaming moments was sneaking up to The End for his dogtags, no idea how long it took me but it's the kind of gameplay i hope they don't neglect in Delta.
The infected brood mother from grounded should have made the list. It took me forever to beat her since she is resistant to most damage, has 3 phases and gets stronger each phase, heals from explosive damage, and applies a debuff to you every time she hits you which reduces the effect of healing items. So you basically have to master blocking.
Final boss of Ninja Gaiden for the NES. The preparation you need to do: learn to speedrun the 3 stages that come before that boss battle, cause you'll be forced to replay them A LOT.
Trema from Via Infinito in Final Fantasy X-2 was complicated, hard, and greets you with his one-hit kills immediately after the Paragon boss fight with no ability to save the game in between. He required the right jobs, equipment, and hopefully an hour or two of your free time, or you weren't taking that bastard down. I remember needing the official physical Bradygames strategy guide (remember those?) to finally beat him and it took more time out of my life than I care to admit.
Psych mantis is my all time favorite videogame boss, I will never forget that moment before the year 2000 when the PS1 controller was seated in the Player 2 slot and the three friends beat that boss together, epic.
two old-time bosses come to mind, the first one will take some explaining: in Runescape 2, there's a complex minigame, if i remember, it's called "Barbarian assault". the game requires players to take one of four specific roles. note that it requires 5 players, which means one role will always have two players, but you can only change roles between waves. the four roles are: -Attacker. he can attack SOME enemies directly, BUT he has to use a specific "style" of attack, out of three possibilities, or his attack will hurt HIM! -Collector. he picks up the eggs that are dropped by monsters, BUT only one color at a time is "safe", picking up the wrong type will cause them to explode! he also loads the eggs into a cannon, which ANYONE can fire. blue eggs will stun or slow enemies (if forget which), green eggs will poison enemies, and red will simply hurt them. -Defender. he has to lure some type of enemies into a trap, by using different types of "bait", BUT only one type at a time will work... -Healer. he can restore other players health, and also needs to eliminate some type of enemies by feeding the poisoned food, BUT, again, only one type at a time is safe. he also need to runs to a specific spot to refill his healing items. *for all four types, everything changes every 30 seconds, BUT EACH PLAYER HAS TO TELL ANOTHER WHAT THE CORRECT ONES ARE* ! AND the 10th wave requires you to fight a boss ON TOP of that! and, if i remember, the boss also requires specific types of attack, which change every 30 seconds, AND it has ranged attacks!
Mr Freeze really stands out as a boss fight. Initially I thought it would be laughably easy - just keep repeating my favourite takedown. I soon realised that was not the case...
Thank you for giving Destiny some recognition, too many people focus on the negative aspects and don’t realize how many things they do right and the raids and bosses are legendary
Agreed. I'm playing less than ever now, but that's because the post-Final Shape story just isn't that compelling right now, not because of the core of the game itself. I do wish Bungie would bring back all the vaulted content though.
10:09 Booster No. 2 is definitely not the most complicated boss in the OG Super Mario RPG... Not sure about the remake Nintendo did recently. At least originally, it was Culex in Monstro Town.
In Act 2, if you take out the Dark Justiciar rat boy in the Temple of Shah before encountering Yurgir, Raphael will appear in Yurgir's area, tell you the deal is off and send him back to Avernus. You will only have to fight the adds. Discovered that in a co-op playthrough with my wife, who turned the other way... Then in the Raphael fight, Yurgir automatically sides with you - no persuasion rolls needed. Art of War/lvl 6 Magic Missile can take the pillars down in 2 turns, and Hope can banish 3 of the adds. Much easier fight then.
There are two other bosses from the BG series that deserve at least honorable mentions, and they’re both from the same game. In BG2: Throne of Bhaal, one of the mid-game bosses is a drow cleric named Sendai, and she throws everything she has at you in a multitude of waves. Between the 7 statues of herself that animate one or two at a time (each being a different class or dual-class), the summons, and the endless waves of drow warriors storming through the only door in the room, you have a ton to manage here. Then there’s Sendai herself, and she’s no pushover! But Sendai is just a taste of what awaits you with the final boss. Amelyssan the Blackhearted fights you a total of four times with brief pauses in between, during which time you must fight some of the most difficult monsters in the game (including a fallen solar and two marileths simultaneously, on just one platform!) in order to cut off her access to her power source. Each time, she’s fully healed and recharged. You and your party are not. She deals and tanks damage like a truck, plus she’s accompanied by tons of high-level enemies that absolutely swallow your party whenever you face her. This is an endgame boss you have to spend the entire game preparing to fight, just to have a chance at winning.
You can probably fill the list with Square Enix games. You see most on this list have a common problem - you Have To do x and y and z, and only so you can get through. There’s either not enough tools, or you have to use certain keys in a certain way. The more “complex” the boss is, the less ways you can use to beat it. This is why The End sits above all else, there are just too many ways and tools you can use to solve the puzzle with all the freedom (that Kojima gave you)
9:54 I cannot be the only one who had zero problem with Gilgamesh…!? I’m not that good at video games and I found all the bosses from FF7 rebirth pretty easy, I brut forced pretty much all of them… outside of BG3, any CRPG I’ve played has harder bosses!? I’m the guy who abuses any and all cheese methods whenever I can…
The hardest things about FF7-debakes is watching them torture and abuse a beautiful story with marvel kingdom hearts multiverse and having to endure hours of boring filler.
Gilgamesh was the easiest part of Gilgamesh island; beat him first try with level scaling while I just picked the game back up for the first time since release. It was the dual-Eikon fights that had me temporarily activate easy mode. Seriously, screw those fights; even if you do everything correctly in a couple of them, you still lose to some bs.
One of the bosses that really messed me up was that crazy last boss in that Avatar Kora game that boss was so strong that I stopped playing the games for weeks but later came back and finished what I started
Regarding Mr. Freeze: You can also get Intel on all possible ways to damage him as you do the normal story by pressing the map button (need almost all of them in NG+). Just went back through on NG+ and managed to leave Detective Vision on too long, so it got shut down. Thankfully I was on the last hit or two for him.
Hate to tell you this, but Riven has a bug that lets you skip the entire setup stage and go straight into the DPS phase as a full team of 6, completely removes the 'Complicated part' ... Bungie is aware of this and have never fixed it.
Riven is weird, because doing it as designed is definitely complicated, but I've only ever done it that way once in many years of play. There is a much easier unintended way of doing it that basically everyone does. Oddly, for me, the intended way, was far more fun an interesting to me as it felt like a team puzzle that required cooperation and communication to do and that felt rewarding. Basically no one does it that way anymore, though, and i think the player base would lose their minds if it ever got patched to force the intended way.
Riven is too much of a hassle to do the right way, that I don't recall ever being in a group (of randoms) that did it legit. To this day, I don't know what the "right way" is, because veterans would rather teach you the cheese than explain the mechanics. Probably did at least 70-80 runs of that back when I was actively playing Destiny.
The most difficult boss for me in any game was the Draconic Eerd Tree Sentinel from Elden Ring, took me 187 attempts in the span of 2 days but I wiped nearly everything else. Burned through 2 controllers
I kinda expected to see wall or flesh from terraria. I remember having to carve out a path in the underworld and laying planks and traps and healing shrines. Definitely the most preparation I ever put into a single boss fight
Excellent list! However, I personally believe one of the spots should have gone to Amon from Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon. The true final millennium tower version were you basically have to max every character in your party, and your job classes. Then you have to run an insane gauntlet with the hardest regular enemies in the game as well as a few rehashed bosses. Once you clear that you then have to fight Amon and his fight has a ton of crazy moves including, you guessed it, summoning MORE reused bosses! Lol in almost every other instance that would be a really lame tactic. However for Y7:LaD, the specific bosses, how they're used, where and by who, all have various levels of fan service and nostalgia for series fans. That actually makes it awesome to see "a reused boss". But yeah, super hard fight.
Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 5 in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It’s been nerfed some since the early days but ten years ago it was a horribly complex fight and even if you knew what to do it was difficult to pull off. Every party member needed to be in sync, and nobody could miss an assignment or it was over fast.
Dude! Devoth in Doom Eternal’s AGpt2 is so difficult on Ultra-Nightmare. It took me three weeks to defeat him. Because if you die you restart the story all over again.
Riven is still to this day the most difficult boss encounter that Bungie has ever done. This is why most people just do the cheese instead. I've only ever beaten Riven the legit way once and it took WAY too long. Whereas the cheese only takes a few minutes if you do it right.
Eigong is a lot more forgiving in that the fight itself is not that long and you can try again fast (second phase being the hardest imo). But Galdera is just pain
If I remember correctly, didn't the Mr. Freeze fight list all the takedowns to beat him with in the pause menu? (except on new game plus, which you have to beat the game 1st to unlock) Kind of kills any complexity.
The game is awesome, really worth it. Yes the final boss is difficult, but very satisfying. It's not unfair, it's rewarding. You learn the boss, every boss and enemy has a learning curve in this game, it's never unfair. This video made it look unfair, but I think the idea was to say how insanely awesome it is. Winning against this boss feels incredible
I've never done riven legit. Always just did the cheese method and beat him quickly. That's why I like playing destiny to begin with. I like the power fantasy, I don't like super complex mechanics. Just like to have good fun and not play an activity that if one person screws up, everyone has to start over. That's also why I like dungeons the most now.
12:40 training to get good is not called too-much-planning. it's called training. planning means you can prepare ahead and the boss has some gimmick that needs to be solved with brains and not brawn, which this is not
I love facing the bosses. Ever heard of Immersive Translate?? It is a tool with expertly crafted prompts for the gaming industry, that ensures that translations are accurate and resonate with gamers.
I took the End very easily In Metal Sold Gear 3 , I bought a book from Blockbuster at the time .And someone found a easy trick to take him out , which do is go the map , there is location on the map .Which you can find him , well use your Sniper rifle to take him out .And does work too , then the End is toast .And don't have the book anymore , but I still remember how take him , well with a remastered Metal Sold Gear 3 coming out soon .There is a major tip to use .
I just realized I've been watching since like 2014 , I'm impressed at how relevant u guys still are all this time later , thanks for the 10 years of entertainment !
Wow! Thanks for sticking around! :)

Mr. Freeze in Arkham City is my favorite. Just the concept of being Batman and slowly having the Batman stuff being taken away from you was brilliant
why rocksteady never did another boss fight like that is a mystery we'll never know
Solid point there friend! :D
The End is among the very best boss fights ever, not hard, just requires patience😊
Actually you can take him out early in the game, and never do the sniper dual. But I do agree it's an extremely satisfying back and forth. Kojima really out did himself with 3.
Thanks Gameranx!

Delta is supposed to be a shot-for-shot remaster of the original, so the mechanics should be unchanged.

Morning!!!❤
Final Fantasy music is so great overall, and that remix of "Battle on the Big Bridge" for the Gilgamesh fight is no exception. Truly epic.
two old-time bosses come to mind, the first one will take some explaining:
in Runescape 2, there's a complex minigame, if i remember, it's called "Barbarian assault".
the game requires players to take one of four specific roles.
note that it requires 5 players, which means one role will always have two players, but you can only change roles between waves.
the four roles are:
-Attacker. he can attack SOME enemies directly, BUT he has to use a specific "style" of attack, out of three possibilities, or his attack will hurt HIM!
-Collector. he picks up the eggs that are dropped by monsters, BUT only one color at a time is "safe", picking up the wrong type will cause them to explode!
he also loads the eggs into a cannon, which ANYONE can fire. blue eggs will stun or slow enemies (if forget which), green eggs will poison enemies, and red will simply hurt them.
-Defender. he has to lure some type of enemies into a trap, by using different types of "bait", BUT only one type at a time will work...
-Healer. he can restore other players health, and also needs to eliminate some type of enemies by feeding the poisoned food, BUT, again, only one type at a time is safe.
he also need to runs to a specific spot to refill his healing items.
*for all four types, everything changes every 30 seconds, BUT EACH PLAYER HAS TO TELL ANOTHER WHAT THE CORRECT ONES ARE* !
AND the 10th wave requires you to fight a boss ON TOP of that!
and, if i remember, the boss also requires specific types of attack, which change every 30 seconds, AND it has ranged attacks!
5:13 unless you use the thermal goggles
Mr Freeze really stands out as a boss fight. Initially I thought it would be laughably easy - just keep repeating my favourite takedown. I soon realised that was not the case...
Thank you for giving Destiny some recognition, too many people focus on the negative aspects and don’t realize how many things they do right and the raids and bosses are legendary
Agreed. I'm playing less than ever now, but that's because the post-Final Shape story just isn't that compelling right now, not because of the core of the game itself. I do wish Bungie would bring back all the vaulted content though.
10:09 Booster No. 2 is definitely not the most complicated boss in the OG Super Mario RPG... Not sure about the remake Nintendo did recently. At least originally, it was Culex in Monstro Town.
In Act 2, if you take out the Dark Justiciar rat boy in the Temple of Shah before encountering Yurgir, Raphael will appear in Yurgir's area, tell you the deal is off and send him back to Avernus. You will only have to fight the adds.
Discovered that in a co-op playthrough with my wife, who turned the other way...
Then in the Raphael fight, Yurgir automatically sides with you - no persuasion rolls needed.
Art of War/lvl 6 Magic Missile can take the pillars down in 2 turns, and Hope can banish 3 of the adds.
Much easier fight then.
There are two other bosses from the BG series that deserve at least honorable mentions, and they’re both from the same game. In BG2: Throne of Bhaal, one of the mid-game bosses is a drow cleric named Sendai, and she throws everything she has at you in a multitude of waves. Between the 7 statues of herself that animate one or two at a time (each being a different class or dual-class), the summons, and the endless waves of drow warriors storming through the only door in the room, you have a ton to manage here. Then there’s Sendai herself, and she’s no pushover!
But Sendai is just a taste of what awaits you with the final boss. Amelyssan the Blackhearted fights you a total of four times with brief pauses in between, during which time you must fight some of the most difficult monsters in the game (including a fallen solar and two marileths simultaneously, on just one platform!) in order to cut off her access to her power source. Each time, she’s fully healed and recharged. You and your party are not. She deals and tanks damage like a truck, plus she’s accompanied by tons of high-level enemies that absolutely swallow your party whenever you face her. This is an endgame boss you have to spend the entire game preparing to fight, just to have a chance at winning.
Hellow everyone! Morning !
Hey
🔥🔥Jakey’s on fire🔥🔥
Assassin Girl for Chained Echoes is probably my most rewarding complex fight more cus i managed it with a presonal strategy instead of a guide
Maybe we’ll do a part two for this video :D
Astral ancent has so many good fights but last boss is so good and challenging!
Same can be said about Ember knights.
Thank god someone shares how hard La Mulana 2 is. Trying to tell people about this game but most never heard of it.
Lol I love that Riven is on here. I’ve beaten every Destiny 2 raid boss and I’ve STILL not beaten Riven the way you’re supposed to
Hey thanks for watching! :)
You can probably fill the list with Square Enix games.
You see most on this list have a common problem - you Have To do x and y and z, and only so you can get through. There’s either not enough tools, or you have to use certain keys in a certain way. The more “complex” the boss is, the less ways you can use to beat it.
This is why The End sits above all else, there are just too many ways and tools you can use to solve the puzzle with all the freedom (that Kojima gave you)
Yeah but did MGS3 have Quiet? (0)(0)
Kojima that bastard lol
9:54 I cannot be the only one who had zero problem with Gilgamesh…!? I’m not that good at video games and I found all the bosses from FF7 rebirth pretty easy, I brut forced pretty much all of them… outside of BG3, any CRPG I’ve played has harder bosses!? I’m the guy who abuses any and all cheese methods whenever I can…
The hardest things about FF7-debakes is watching them torture and abuse a beautiful story with marvel kingdom hearts multiverse and having to endure hours of boring filler.
Raphael in BG3 was tough BUT HE WAS SINGING! Great part of the game.
Anybody else beat the Demon of Hatred in SEKIRO without cheesing him over the edge of the cliff?
13:45 lol you don't get that feeling in games much anymore. But when you over come that, its feels good.
If you know your abilities well the Mr Freeze fight is a load of fun and doesn't need all that much planning at all.
Gilgamesh was the easiest part of Gilgamesh island; beat him first try with level scaling while I just picked the game back up for the first time since release. It was the dual-Eikon fights that had me temporarily activate easy mode. Seriously, screw those fights; even if you do everything correctly in a couple of them, you still lose to some bs.
One of the bosses that really messed me up was that crazy last boss in that Avatar Kora game that boss was so strong that I stopped playing the games for weeks but later came back and finished what I started
sneaking behind the end to take his camo is the only way to go for me
Regarding Mr. Freeze: You can also get Intel on all possible ways to damage him as you do the normal story by pressing the map button (need almost all of them in NG+). Just went back through on NG+ and managed to leave Detective Vision on too long, so it got shut down. Thankfully I was on the last hit or two for him.
Hey there from Albania 👋🏼👋🏼
Hey
Hate to tell you this, but Riven has a bug that lets you skip the entire setup stage and go straight into the DPS phase as a full team of 6, completely removes the 'Complicated part' ... Bungie is aware of this and have never fixed it.
👍🏼
Typical modern bungie
@@KingOfhearts72Majority of people only run that raid for nostalgia at this point anyways
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
The Destiny boss was dope I never knew! Ty Jake
Hey thanks for giving our video a watch! :)
@@gameranxTV thanks to you guys
Riven is weird, because doing it as designed is definitely complicated, but I've only ever done it that way once in many years of play. There is a much easier unintended way of doing it that basically everyone does. Oddly, for me, the intended way, was far more fun an interesting to me as it felt like a team puzzle that required cooperation and communication to do and that felt rewarding. Basically no one does it that way anymore, though, and i think the player base would lose their minds if it ever got patched to force the intended way.
Riven is too much of a hassle to do the right way, that I don't recall ever being in a group (of randoms) that did it legit. To this day, I don't know what the "right way" is, because veterans would rather teach you the cheese than explain the mechanics. Probably did at least 70-80 runs of that back when I was actively playing Destiny.
GUYS GUYS HE SAID IT!
'Feel Like Batman'
The most difficult boss for me in any game was the Draconic Eerd Tree Sentinel from Elden Ring, took me 187 attempts in the span of 2 days but I wiped nearly everything else. Burned through 2 controllers
Why did you bother? Did you feel like it was worth it after? This is not a troll post, I'm really interested because my life is too short for that!
That octopath traveler 2 boss was absolutely maniacal haha
LOL
14:56 The atmosphere, time, and methods needed to beat Mr. Freeze really made this boss fight enjoyable.
As someone currently playing Octopath II.. I can't say I'm looking forward to that fight lol
lol good luck!
Good night from Thailand😊
Good Morning!
I kinda expected to see wall or flesh from terraria. I remember having to carve out a path in the underworld and laying planks and traps and healing shrines. Definitely the most preparation I ever put into a single boss fight
Can't say I've ever fought a truly complicated boss. Maybe Hag 1 from Banjo Tooie, but that's about it. Plenty of hard bosses though.
Excellent list! However, I personally believe one of the spots should have gone to Amon from Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon. The true final millennium tower version were you basically have to max every character in your party, and your job classes. Then you have to run an insane gauntlet with the hardest regular enemies in the game as well as a few rehashed bosses. Once you clear that you then have to fight Amon and his fight has a ton of crazy moves including, you guessed it, summoning MORE reused bosses!
Lol in almost every other instance that would be a really lame tactic. However for Y7:LaD, the specific bosses, how they're used, where and by who, all have various levels of fan service and nostalgia for series fans. That actually makes it awesome to see "a reused boss".
But yeah, super hard fight.
You guys should do a list for MMO bosses if you waant to know real pain. Or just a video for WoW bosses ranked.
they did i believe, i think that crazy boss from FF online was in there, that they had to change because it gave ppl health issues lol
Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 5 in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It’s been nerfed some since the early days but ten years ago it was a horribly complex fight and even if you knew what to do it was difficult to pull off. Every party member needed to be in sync, and nobody could miss an assignment or it was over fast.
The freeze fight is my most memorable
Suprised we didn't see any Hollow Knight in here but I'm glad there's a plethora of indie games
Number 5 gave me Vergil vibes🎉❤I wanna try😅
gameranx top 10 background is such a flashbang to my eyes I'm watching video in dark room
Dude! Devoth in Doom Eternal’s AGpt2 is so difficult on Ultra-Nightmare. It took me three weeks to defeat him. Because if you die you restart the story all over again.
That would be too challenging for average players😂
As a final boss, Bowser eats the rest of them for breakfast 😈😈😈
Riven is still to this day the most difficult boss encounter that Bungie has ever done. This is why most people just do the cheese instead. I've only ever beaten Riven the legit way once and it took WAY too long. Whereas the cheese only takes a few minutes if you do it right.
Eigong is a lot more forgiving in that the fight itself is not that long and you can try again fast (second phase being the hardest imo). But Galdera is just pain
If I remember correctly, didn't the Mr. Freeze fight list all the takedowns to beat him with in the pause menu? (except on new game plus, which you have to beat the game 1st to unlock) Kind of kills any complexity.
And I was considering trying Nine souls 😂. Thanks for the heads up 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
The game is awesome, really worth it. Yes the final boss is difficult, but very satisfying. It's not unfair, it's rewarding. You learn the boss, every boss and enemy has a learning curve in this game, it's never unfair. This video made it look unfair, but I think the idea was to say how insanely awesome it is. Winning against this boss feels incredible
On my first playthrough of BG3, I had someone with a throwing build and a few crates to climb on. He laid Rafael down in 3 turn it was so hilarious
See that's why in destiny 2 you have to do those 10 headshot rocket launcher quest without reloading and then the 50 melee hits with being hit.
I've never done riven legit. Always just did the cheese method and beat him quickly. That's why I like playing destiny to begin with. I like the power fantasy, I don't like super complex mechanics. Just like to have good fun and not play an activity that if one person screws up, everyone has to start over. That's also why I like dungeons the most now.
12:40 training to get good is not called too-much-planning. it's called training. planning means you can prepare ahead and the boss has some gimmick that needs to be solved with brains and not brawn, which this is not
Yeah for Riven, she is cheesed out so bad nowadays. But the legit way is like 5D chess.
I love facing the bosses. Ever heard of Immersive Translate?? It is a tool with expertly crafted prompts for the gaming industry, that ensures that translations are accurate and resonate with gamers.
Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out!
I took the End very easily In Metal Sold Gear 3 , I bought a book from Blockbuster at the time .And someone found a easy trick to take him out , which do is go the map , there is location on the map .Which you can find him , well use your Sniper rifle to take him out .And does work too , then the End is toast .And don't have the book anymore , but I still remember how take him , well with a remastered Metal Sold Gear 3 coming out soon .There is a major tip to use .
Hollow Knight-Sisters of battle gave me PTSD and aggravated some serious carpal tunnel 😅
10:40 wait they finally released the SM RPG? I completely missed that. When did it come out and what system
Nine Sols boss made me think of Phantom Aqua from Kingdom Hearts. Insane boss fight.
What about Ghost Runner? There’s some crazy bosses in that.
