7 Videogame Bosses So Massive They’re Almost Unfair

- We love a big boss fight, but can a boss be too big? Here are 7 videogame bosses so massive they’re almost unfair. From giant robot boss fights to huge mechanical men, this week’s Friday Feature is about the boss fights that blot out the sky and make us weak and puny. How many of them have you defeated?
We made a video about giant boss fights a few years ago and in the time since then, these fights are only getting bigger. Have you seen the Strider? It’s an Armoured Core 6 boss fight that takes up the entirety of the horizon. Or the Horus boss fight from Horizon Forbidden West DLC, the Burning Shores, or the Guardian Gigantus from Dragon’s Dogma 2. For those with a retro sensibility we’ve also got an Ape Escape 2 classic that reminds us of a famous God of War 3 encounter. You’ll be amazed by the similarity.
You can watch our classic list on 7 videogame bosses so massive they shouldn’t be allowed here ( • 7 Videogame Bosses So ... ) and see how they stack up to the new list. And if you haven’t been watching our new Friday Features, what’s keeping you? Check out our recent videos on cunning kills where someone else did all the work ( • 7 Cunning Videogame Ki... ) and 7 dumb deaths we totally deserved ( • 7 Instant Deaths We To... ).

In reference to the latest pod, Dave I tried Balatro and wow it's so damn addictive!
"I've talked about big bosses 8 years ago"
DANG it really hits home how long this series has been going (and how long I've been watching it. I WATCHED THAT EPISODE WHEN IT CAME OUT).
Same mate, mad isn't it! It is so nice this series is still going. It feels like a lovely warm hug watching these ❤
"So on monday im writing the Friday feature, and you're fighting the adamantoise."
"Yes."
"Tuesday I'm recording the Friday feature, and you're fighting the adamantoise."
"Yes."
"Wednesday I'm editing the Friday feature and you're fighting the adamantoise."
"Yes."
"This is ridiculous! Im just doing your work!"
"Yes!" 😊
It's funny how 12 years, marriage and children can change someone.
The restraint of not adding a single Metal Gear boss. Well done, Rob.
Probably because there's not one bigger than sahelanthropus. I hope. 🍀
@@cloverandanais Oh there is don't worry but you don't have to fight it, only between 6-23 standard Metal Gear units (depending on the difficulty level) that are guarding it
@@NineBreakerUIXB And there's Metal Gear EXCELSUS from MGS Rising: Revengeance.
That backup Dr Pepper! 🙌
The Dr. Pepper in the suit case lmao!
Rob running back a classic list ya love to see it
Hello, you've caught me enjoying another Friday feature 😊
Rob, you brave man. Packing only one backup Dr. Pepper.
Im surprised that none of the Shadow of the Colossus made the list at all. I loved that entire game, its not new or flashy but that was such a fun game.
I agree, especially the Biggest Boi: Malus!
@@LadyLeomon Maybe its just the perspective but yea he felt so big to fight against!
I'm guessing it's because he put SotC in the first video.
I’m pretty sure they did one several years ago with shadow of the colossus
@@connorpfeifer9143 You are probably right and I completely forgot about it, there have been to many Friday features to remember what he has talked about, unless its water physics or FF
Ben Starr needs to join the PlayStation access team lol.
And be Robert S. Pearson’s best mate of course!
I would love to see someone from PS Access make a guest appearance on Natural Six!
Demon Souls Dragon God and Spiderman 2 Sand Man were pretty big recent bosses for me. Great video as usual Rob. Thanks for being one of the best things about Fridays again :-)
My favorite ‘future’ bosses that are way too big: The Ruby, Emerald and Ultimate Weapon from Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3!
Seriously how are they going to pull these monstrosities off!?
They better add them in Part 3
I have no idea why, but seeing Rob rub his head against that monitor had me laughing my head off! It was just so random and unexpected.
An enormous boss that comes to mind for me is the Icon of Sin from Doom Eternal. That's what the development team for Doom 2 Hell on Earth wanted to do, but the technology of the time and their inexperience with programming stopped them from doing that.
Can't believe Sin from FFX didn't come to my mind
Wow, this throws me back. Your original video on the topic was my first ever PSA video and what got me into the channel. Nice to see an part 2 of it.^^
Super happy to see the checklist videos making a comeback !
Asura's Wrath boss was the size of the earth.
Bigger actually
Which one? Wyzen or Chrakravartin?
The only reason it didn't make it here was it featured in part 1.
I just posted this. If anything, that game deserves a remake. It was ahead of its time.
@@deathbykonami5487 Wyzen became planet sized. Asura had to become planet sized to even fight Chakravartin who was big enough to throw entire galaxies out of his hands.
I've been blessed with 2 Delsin appearances in one video, 3 if you count big Delsin. What a great feature!
I love your Friday Features! I forgot how long I've been watching them until you mentioned a list from 8 years ago. Guess I am old now
I love that you literally have to run away from Strider's explosion. So epic.
Tidal Wave in the PS2 transformers game, I mean he's so big he makes the regular transformers look like toys.
So big that the boss was pretty much the entire level itself until he transformed for the fight itself.
"At least I hope it's Ribena" 😂😂
Christmas Maze…such happy memories
Legend of DRAGOOOON. My god.
I ground for days to get my HP to 250 K to take out what I thought was an End Boss just to find out that Noooooo, you need a Minimum of 500 K HP for the Final Boss. Minimum.
300 hours well spent!
Wish that game would get a remake.
@@kevinanderson4036 Rose in 4K? Yes Please.
The boxing dancer, name slips me, would fully fund the kickstarter from the Wai /Wu crowd.
I want Ben Starr as a friend as well, he seems like such a lovely human
I am playing FF16 now. But I learned how fun Ben Starr is thanks to the channel. The problem now is I struggle to take Clive seriously because Ben Starr is such a lovable dork while Clive is so serious. I keep seeing Ben starr in my head acting all serious and it cracks me up.
Another suitable entry is Rob......from Delsen's POV.
I love the Friday Features!
9:25
Delivery driver:
Ahh! I think I know what address you're on!
Wasn't on the same road as Mordor past the eye of sauron?🎅
These features are always so well written and performed by Rob!
I know it's silly but i actually cried as a huge wave of nostalgic emotion rocked through me watching this weeks friday feature. i've truly missed these.
The first time my jaw dropped at the sheer size of a boss was the Spider Mech in Jak 3 on the PS2- chasing that thing as it lumbered across the desert was a blast, and an incredible testament to Naughty Dog getting everything they could out of the hardware!
Another lovely friday feature! Just lovely! Please keep 'em coming! 😍
Love the entries and the humour, these PS Access Friday vids are good set up for weekend gaming!
Regarding big bosses, wouldn't the biggest boss be, technically, Loc Station 13 (Closure Satellite) from Armored Core VI?
Though, technically, that is more of a stage, but it is the final objective, right?
Surprised you didn’t include the Phase 3 form of the Act 2 boss fight from Baldur’s Gate 3. Puny compared to some on this list, maybe, but immense in the context. I remember thinking “Fighting a multi-phase god-like being? What is this, Final Fantasy or something?”
Wyzen from Asura's Wrath could easily eat all the bosses on this list lol
He was already on previous video ua-cam.com/video/pKYWtqPwSAg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=PlayStationAccess
What a fun entry! Great Friday feature entries recently! Well done, Rob! Well done, my boy.
The 1st boss Dominion from Sundered. That game did a great job showing off the scale of this boss. I was completely blown away by that fight and the game. Very underrated.
Better not be poking my weakpoints with a big key 🤣🤣 haha that fking hilarious rob lol
My first thought was the oil rig boss from Nier: Automata, but... Yeah, these ones are probably a few magnitudes bigger than even that.
(That said, I do wonder how tall the final boss of FF6 would be in total.)
If only we could fight the Bahamut in his size that emerged from Dalamud on FFXIV. He is estimated to be 6.6 km long with a wingspan of 24 km. He could be entire duty just running on his body similar to Cronos or the Horus. One of the binding coils has a raid where the arena is the palm of his hand. The version we do fight is substantially smaller.
Man, the cinematic of Louisoix facing off against Bahamut is still one of my favorite scenes. When they show the sheer scale of Bahamut towering over Louisoix and the battlefield, it still gives me chills. I think I need to go watch the "Answers" video again now. ❤
@@madalice5134 it never gets old, right?
That Strider explosion is so big I wiped the first time because I thought I was at a safe distance
And Number 1… Doctor Robotnik’s Mustache 😄
The final boss of Persona 5 Royal was pretty massive
Vanquish and Haze spring to mind...
Rayman 3's final bossfight against Reflux, blew my mind as a kid
I absolutely loved the Titan Lost boss fight. It's one of my all-time favorite boss fights.
Yes! I've been hoping you'd revisit some of the old list topics. You mentioned my favorite, which was Adamantoise in FF15, beating them was the last trophy I needed for the platinum.
For my Build in Nioh 2 I had to get a perfect drop of Lady Osakabes soul- she’s both a hard as nails boss, AND at the end of a really annoying, hard and long level…..it was a real slog.
If you need more, the mining mech in Star Wars Jedi survivor is incredible, and terrifying
The Horus boss battle was just glorious. Still cant believe Guerrilla did it!
Another week another classic Rob Friday feature. Keep it up!!!
I missed out on the gigantous boss fight the first play through of dd2. I took a different route not knowing that the soldiers would end up fighting him without me.
I love Rob's narration😂😅 One of my favorite huge Bosses is the final Colossi in Shadow of the Colossus.
1:06 i’m so very sad that there are a lot of people too young or not as well versed in gaming to get this reference. MG saga is so underrated. And Snake Eater is a masterpiece, the final scene with The Boss having to sacrifice herself…..😢 I can’t even type it out I’m already tearing up.
For me Dagon and Mother Hydra from Dark Corner of The Earth.
They aren't too massive but the stage and camera angle makes them so menacing and threatening.
Classic episode, excellent picks! Mine would be JENOVA Lifeclinger and Alexander from Rebirth, Kala from Indivisible, Metal Gear Cocoon from Peacewalker, the Genie from Dark Cloud, Tate Eboshi from Nioh 2 (because she's too fast for that size) and Lavos from Chrono Trigger.
thank you for 4pm fridays
My pick is the fittingly named Giganto from Sonic Frontiers. All of the bosses are enormous, but Giganto is the first one you fight, and he gets the honour of setting the tone for Sonic's most dangerous adventure yet. To put things in perspective, Sonic needs to transform into Super Sonic, which is usually reserved for the final boss of each game, just to touch him!
A good recent addition to this list could be the demogorgon boss in Stellar Blade. You spend about 2 hours of the game going up an orbital elevator to find it taking up the entire end of it in space, and you have to hit it multiple times with an overcharged rail gun while already falling back into Earth's atmosphere
A great sequence!
"I talked about big bosses, no not that one." Made me laugh.
Shadow. Of. The. Colossus.
So glad these are back. 😊
I nominate Zorah Magnaros from Monster Hunter World. An elder dragon with a volcano on its back, and in the opening makes the ship you arrived in look like a bath toy.
You forgot jubileus from bayonetta. She fought god, in space, while trying to dodge galaxies and black holes and, could only defeat God by punching her across the solar system into the sun 😞
I bet that Jar- Jar figure if not opened, is worth some money.
I'm a little surprised that Gongen Wyzen from Asura's Wrath isn't on here. Dude was literally bigger than the planet itself, and he tried to kill Asura by simply poking the world XD
He was on the previous video that Rob did on this topic
The human-Reaper hybrid thing from Mass Effect 2 is of a size similar to Leviathan from the first video.
Never forgetting Quadraxis of Metroid Prime 2. Not even Kraid or Mogenar in the sequel was that gargantuan. Samus does a cool pose when landing from destroying it- even she knows she's just set a new record for 'the largest thing I've ever killed'.
That HORUS Boss fight was beyond INSANE!
Absolutely amazing.
One of my favorites was Colossus of Rhodes in God of War 2. First thing you fight in the game!!! What a banger!!!
The last fight in Lollipop Chainsaw was big too.
You brighten my Fridays.
We really need another series of helping a noob. We need Rob back in Elden Ring with his friends to help him.
Arch Bishop in Lies of P. It's big to the point that you can't always see his attacks until he attacks you because you can't see the whole character model.
"Chekhov's Ballista" is a joke that I never thought I would appreciate.
Loved the GoW bossess mentions👍
Ya I was expecting Kronos to pop up
I totally forgot there was a DLC to Horizon Forbidden West! I should play it!
Super old one but the last boss in Xenon 2 was (at the time) amazing! Yes... I'm old. Also the last boss in Shadow of the beast, was basically a toe...
ngl, I thought Wyzen from Asura's Wrath would be number 1 since he does become a planet size monster in his final phase
I can’t remember the name of the boss but in resistance 2 I remember leaping around buildings and mostly running away from something destroying the city. That was a great game.
Oryx is definitely my one of top bosses but I can understand why he wasn’t on the list because the he’s a raid boss.
Hello all. Love your Chanel.🎉 I love my PS4, my 1st open world experience was horizon zero dawn. I was blown away by it. Enjoyed fenyx rising. Please can you recommend some third person open world games.🙏🙏🙏
Vegnagun
*Deep Spoilers for Grandia 2. The HD Remaster was released recently on PS and the game's one of my all time faves so go play it now if you haven't then answer me in a week when you're done, it's really worth it, honest*
Valmar, it looks to be the size of a modern city the first time you fight it and the only way to fight it is to blow a hole in it and complete a rather difficult to navigate level before killing it's 'core. Then ofc later on you fight it two or three more times after you find out that it is literally the freaking moon
Star trek Online finally got around to adding V'Ger to the game... and you get to fight it's alternate universe counterpart... C'Qer... oh man.... C'Qer is every bit as huge as V'Ger was in the movie.
Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army...if I remember right isn't the final boss here a literal battleship?
Some of my favorite big bosses are: Amygdala (Amy for short) from Bloodborne, Orochi from Okami, and Del Lago from Resident Evil 4
My biggest boss is myself when time comes to do chores knowing my sweet games are waiting for me.😶
You forgot about the boss on Asuras Wrath that literally is the size of Earth and attacks by using is index finger.
Start with Armored Core 6...and end with Horizon.... Hell yeah
Yon mon from Asura's Wrath who's finger is like a meteor when he pokes the planet
surprised you didn't mention any of the mechs from Metal Gear 😂😂
Dave missed the mgs reference when Rob said big boss in the intro 😢
Chakravartin - the final boss from Asura's Wrath. He's so big that he uses entire galaxies as projectiles iirc.
Thank you Rob once again 🎉🎉🎉
The demogorgon in stellar blade is huge.
i really loved the Scarecrow boss fights in the Arkham games, especially asylum, in Arkham Knight it felt more epic that Johnathan Noble was the voice of scarecrow belittling Batman and the fact that the fear toxin was warping the landscape of the city whilst having to take down a monstro-city sized Scarecrow. A pun worthy of Rob 🤣
Excavallion in Granblue fantasy relink was a decent fight too I enjoyed. Can't forget the BT boss fight in death stranding at Edge Knot city. A small piece of comic trivia, injustice 2 with darkseid he can actually change his size on a colossal scale which was shown in his special attack how he grabs them in outer space. Pretty sure in the comics he could alter his size to basically be the size of a galaxy, he's also present in the fourth dimension and basically unkillable so that's kinda unfair 😅
Spoilers for stellar blade but that boss in the satellite was also pretty damn huge.
The lady of the castle looks as though her mission was to affect the castle’s resale value.
That fight with Horus was _insane_ !! I didn’t think I’d be able to finish the game (the machine certainly gives you “you’re-not-going-to-finish-this-game-vibes”) … but in the end -- it’s just another machine.
Dunno if anyone else remembers but the rtype game on master system had a gigantic spaceship boss u had to take apart section by section.
