† The Joker Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Inspired by a recent battle on Dragon Age origins, I want to know what boss battles for you have truely been incredible, and are head and shoulders above anything else that you would've expected.A few of my personal favorites are:The EndGame - Metal Gear Solid 3 - Snake EaterAs a lover of using a sniper rifle in games, The End was one of the best opponents I have ever encountered. Although an old man, The End was an amazing sniper, and when facing him, battles against him would easily go well into 2 or more hours, as we both used tried to find each other in the huge battle are spanning 3 zones.Liquid Snake / Revolver OcelotGame - Metal Gear Solid 4 - Guns of the PatriotsA truely epic final battle to end a truely epic game series. Squareing off against Liquid on top of Haven, in a battle of pure fists and endurance. A brilliant final battle, with references to all the previous games in both characters actions, and the fighting music.So, those are a couple of my favorites, be interesting to see what everyone elses are!

twadog123 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 beest boss fights are the ones that you have been trying so hard for so long you are just about to give up but then you winand feel so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† The Joker Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah, I agree that the most challenging always feel the most rewarding. Black Phantom Satsuki on Demon's Souls was the proof of that... the strongest foe in the game, unlimited max healing items, and a guy who only needed to land 2-3 hits at most to kill you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MABFanForLife Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 Out of the games I've played, I gotta go with Sephiroth from the first Kingdom Hearts game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renovalentine Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 your right about those MGS boss fights they were pretty fun. Sephiroth was pretty tough and so was either emerald or ruby weapon i forget which ones which these days lol. Also what was that thing in the basement on resident Evil 4 the one you had to freeze then shoot it or run until the lift arrives he was a bit tough too.

Which one was that? Lol. I remember I got one of my powerful katanas from slewing a phantom during the very very very first pure white or pure black tendancy events (I think it was during Halloween so it must've been PBWT). Arguably I haven't had anything as challenging as the various bosses & even some of the regular monsters from Demons Souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowtheman Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have to say that mettle gear solid had some awesome boss fights, I really enjoyed playing them even if I suck at the genre as a whole. Yoshi's Island, I played it when I was little and I loved it. I also loved playing the bosses of Grandia and Star ocean III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaishin19 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Guys try Dead space 2... yeah i know it's not anime but the boss fights are pretty awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fair Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 My Toughest boss, is the hellgates in The Last Remnant, I still cant beat him, and I don't really wanna start again,that or the end bosses of ninja gaidain 2but im all time favourite boss fight is going up against Wesker for the first time in Resi Evil 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_teddy Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I always loved the boss fight from MGS. I stopped playing after the third installment, due to lack of game time.I also enjoyed the boss fights from Onimusha series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasoivc Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Actually, lurking through the forums - the best boss fight imho is from Earthbound. Final Boss is defeated not through the player's raw strength but it's actually part of the game that you succeed. (Basically your party's healer prays to the people that they helped & they all pray back for your party's safe return) and that's what kills the boss =O Man, they should remake the Mother Series for newer gen consoles.

ChrisDodge Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yeah Dead Space 1 and 2 boss fights are awesome but arent the toughest boss fights ever. Right now all i can think of RE5 being chassed by Wesker and Jill lol. it was funny how wesker just casually walks around looking for you while your holding your stomach and crawling away lol, and scary at the same time. Exciting non the less. And the final boss with Wesker was indeed exciting and tense since i had no ammo what so ever lol and took a few atempts to finish. Talking about this makes me wanna play RE5 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hafinisteam Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 For me is Duhallan from Golden Sun - The Lost Age, this guy has some serious deadly attacks, Ninja Gaiden 2 bosses are hard too (on Master Ninja) and really cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nantris Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've never had much problem defeating bosses in single player console games. I might have failed a couple of times, but usually it only takes that many tries to conquer a tough one. Now, I'll be honest with myself and admit that possibly the toughest boss I've ever encountered in a video game was Twinrova in Ocarina of Time (master quest). The difficulty of it could have been attributed to my terrible controller, which was slightly broken at the time, but aiming the mirror shield just right in that small window of time was aggravating.Now, games that I feel pose a bigger challenge? Some of the raid bosses in WoW were just downright mean!!In original, the Four Horsemen in level 60 Naxxramas. The mechanics of the encounter take a lot of patience and timing to execute, and while that sounds like a simple thing for one person to master, try getting a whole 40-man raid to get it down just right. First world kill took a whole two months after the raid was released!! A shame the encounter was removed in the level 80 remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazer127 Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I loved the final boss in IKARUGA, even though was it a hard as nails fight...The last boss in Sin and punishment was fun as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, speaking of failing numerous times - has anyone played the surgery games from Atlus called Trauma Center? I would like to nominate the "boss" operations as several of the hardest sequences I've encountered. Regardless of whether you're using the Wii/DS to play the games - you have to be really quick with your hands and know exactly what you're doing or you'll screw everything up real quick lol.

rog92 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 ok got a new one its not a boss fight but the 200 foot turtles from ff13 are harder than the bosses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxy100 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hardest boss I ever faced would have to be Ganondorf-Ganon from Ocarina of time If only for the reason that I think I spent about a month not knowing what to do to hurt him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
