So about 12:48... Messmer the Impaler is definitely up there, but not entirely sure I like him over Godfrey yet. Pretty even for me right now.

My favorite all time boss will always be Slave Knight Gael. I know that's the most cliche pick for a lot of people but man that fight is just so good from top to bottom and I always get a feeling of sadness when I beat him because I have to go through the whole game again just to fight him

Isshin is still my favourite boss of all time, Sure his moveset ain’t as complex as say inner father, but its just pure fun for me, His deathblow too is one of my favourite moments in any game ever Also vergil and allmind are up there with him

My favorite is Fatalis from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. It's a beautiful finale. You've put in the hours. You've tuned your playstyle to what you'd consider perfection. Many of the monsters you had to take down in this game challenged you. They all had their quirks and gimmicks. You alongside your closest friends get the call and voyage for a long-forgotten castle on the other side of the world. Then, this single dragon whispered in legend rears its head. It hardly looks like a "monster" at all. The castle quakes under its anger for humanity. Nothing else thus far has shown any sign of higher intelligence, so it's strange indeed this creature shows a particular desire so strongly. So the stage is set. The orchestra is chaotic. The battle is ferocious. You and your fellow hunters are hurting. The flames are burning hotter than ever all around you, and the smell of ash follows. Time is ticking faster and faster before all is lost. Then… silence. The music picks up again, and it’s YOUR theme. The dragon is finally reeling. With renewed hope against desperate anger, you fight on. An arrow from your companion brings the winged reptile down and you open its skull with one last slice. The adrenaline slows and everyone celebrates together. It's over. I like this boss fight a little bit if you couldn't tell.

Outside of Fromsoft bosses, I'd like to shoutout to Romeo from Lies of P who altered my brain on so many levels. Stellar OST, fantastic fight, very compelling lore and story.

Pure Vessel was a slow love for me At first I thought they were great but didn;t love them But on my most recent playthrough they surpassed NKG for me they were so amazing

One of my favorite bosses ever is The Burst in Furi, a game that I feel like is weirdly underplayed considering it's literally just 9 awesome bosses in a row.

Slowly revealing All minds plan until finding out that Iguazu was the final boss was one of the most shocking and favorite moments in the game!! Only topped off by "I will not miss" moment, if you know you know!!

Seeing Pure Vessel on this list was cool. I think parrying him is just really cool and he attacks much faster than NKG so I think he’s just a better boss (+it’s more complex)

Seeing some morgott appreciation makes me happy and a really good video. Allmind looks freaking amazing

Guys, I haven't played/finished Monster Hunter World, Final Fantasy 16 or Devil May Cry games. I know everyone loves bosses from those games but I have yet to fight them. I'm sure they're great. You can now stop asking why I'm such a dumb butthead to have excluded them.

My favourite boss/es are the Prime Souls from Ultrakill. Since the game is still in early access though, only 2 of 3 have been released. I love their soundtracks, their lore, their designs, and how their movesets work perfectly with the combat of Ultrakill. Nothing more to say really they’re just the peak of FPS boss design. I have a feeling though that the final boss of Ultrakill is gonna be even more memorable than the Prime Souls so I’m eagerly awaiting the games full release in 2050.

Seeing Nioh 2 and especially Tate Eboshi even above Gael honestly makes me so happy. Nioh 2 is so incredibly underrated and she’s such a great fight to display the games amazing combat. Awesome stuff :)

I adore monster hunter: world fights almost as much as fromsoft ones these days. The almost explosive tempo of later game fights makes me cream a hole into my drywall every time

Allmind fight is so goated

The best part in armored core 6 or even 4th gen is the dodge has no I frames, those dodge was more depth than just "100% completely dodged by just pressing one button" like soulslike games

For the longest time it was Lady Maria after this year it is easily Bahamut from FF 16..holy mother of god was that an insane spectacle.

So glad I’m not alone in absolutely loving Odin’s battle in Ragnarok. Between that and the INCREDIBLE OST for the fight, definitely lived up to Baldur’s final battle in GOW4 and exceeded it in its own ways for me

In terms of pure story, by far my favorite is Asriel Dreemur. Never will there be another fight that perfectly caps off it's story the way Asriel did. No other fight to date has made me cry the way Asriel did. I think Sans is peak boss design, don't get me wrong. I also think Sans is the better boss fight in so many ways, but Asriel's fight had so much emotion in it that I can't help but love it more.

My favourite boss ever is split between malenia from Elden ring and fatalis from monster hunter world. Both are extremely difficult fights with amazing aesthetics and visuals and everytime i fight them it gets better and better.

1. Vergil (Dmc series) 2. Soul of cinder 3. Gael 4. Walter (ac6) 5. Burnt ivory king 6. Abyss watchers 7. Isshin 8. Morgott 9. Elianne the starved (lotf) 10. Twin princes Edit: Runner ups are allmind, pretty much every boss in ds3, urizen and the despair embodied from dmc, and the dark lord from doom eternal

artorias and midir will always be my favourites, artorias was the most satisfying boss to learn and figure out the roll timing and directions its like a trial and error dance and the satisfaction from cracking it and no hitting it is amazing plus his story is one of the best in souls

A recent addition to my favourite bosses of all time is Raphael from BG3. The music is so incredible even compared to the rest of the awesome soundtrack at other points in the game, he is a character you meet at pretty much the beginning of the game, its hard, you have to strategize, etc. just 10/10

Armored core 6 getting the love it deserved I am happy

My favorite boss of all time is Malenia. I have fought her more than any boss and I enjoy her so much that I truly don’t mind dying to her. It just makes me happy that I get to fight her again

Great list! My #1 slot definitely goes to Malenia. Like Sword Saint Isshin, I never get tired of fighting her. I'd love to see the DLC top that fight, but I don't expect it to

Not bad! My personal top 10 is something like: 1. Slave Knight Gael 2. Darkeater Midir 3. Twin Princes 4. Owl (Father) 5. Nameless King 6. Annihilation (Remnant 2) 7. Genichiro Ashina 8. Lu Bu (Wo Long) 9. Mohg, Lord of Blood 10. Darth Vader (Jedi: Survivor)

Sisters of battle also has one of my favorite soundtracks. Hollow Knight is the best metroidvania.

My favorite "boss" would probably be Bloodbath Diablos in MHGU, because of similar reasons to Allmind. It tests everything you know, and since it's the last unique monster you unlock in the game, it's the real final boss. Not many things in Monster Hunter are as fast and aggressive as this thing, and the music for it is spot on. You have to learn its attacks and when you can go in, it's never clear what it's gonna do next. It also has one of Monster Hunter's best designs IMO, the red trails across it and the steam look so damn good.

Remember commenting on your bloodborne weapon rankings vid 6 years ago. Didn't think you'd blow up this big. Great work!

Armoured core is a criminally underrated game

Platinum Games used to make top tier bosses in action games as well, like Monsoon and Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising or Balder and Final Jeanne in Bayonetta. Other than that I think Nioh 2 has maybe the best boss roster of any game I've played, potentially tied with Sekiro which is also amazing.

3 inner boss versions of Sekiro are beyond epic.

14:32 you don't have to beat the game twice in the same save file to unlock inner father boss fight, I did it on my first playthrough. You just need to do a bunch of basic things in game to unlock him, a yt guide will be helpful

Love the Lubu mention. That fight took me hours to play but I loved the fight the entire time. Very hard to do. My most recent favourite boss is nameless puppet from LoP

It’s a testament to from software’s quality to have this many of their boss fights on this list, and I 100% agree

My #1 would have to be Soul of Cinder, its animations are telegraphed enough so you see them coming and have enough time to react but then they're so different to previous bosses' that you're caught off guard. The multiple movesets add even more depth by multiplying the amount of attacks you need to learn while an amazing theme plays in the background. Then, once you think it's over, it gets back up with a very familiar sword as 3 distinctive piano notes increase the difficulty by impairing your vision with tears. 10/10, never gets boring

I'm going to throw in a curveball. Yozora from Kingdom Hearts 3, stands toe to toe with the FromSoft bosses in my opinion

the Bahamut fight in Final Fantasy XVI might be my new favorite boss fight of all time

ACVI getting the attention it deserves thank god.

For me nothing can beat original Isshin. I've never been so stuck on a boss. But that feeling when he forced me to embrace how all of the other bosses had been hinting was the way to play the game, being aggressive and keeping constant pressure, was unreal. He even tells you: "Hesitation is defeat!" Exactly the philosophy necessary to overcome him. He got me to engage in every game mechanic, in the way they were intended to be used, and it all finally clicked on my first successful kill. I will never forget that feeling. It is the most exhilarated a game has ever made me feel. He made me feel like I didn't just grind out a kill, he made me feel like I had truly mastered the game. Which in my mind is what the best final bosses should all do.

I loved Odin, but Thor is just another level Overall 10. Avatar(Ghostrunner 2) 9. Ice Worm(Armored Core 6) 8. Higgs Monaghan(Death Stranding) 7. Godfrey(Elden Ring) 6. Soul of Cinder(Dark Souls 3) 5. Mr Freeze (Arkham City) 4. Hardest place...Ludwig/Gehrman/Inner Father 3. Thor(God of war: Ragnarok) 2. Hyperion (Returnal) 1. Vergil( Devil May Cry V)

My favorite boss in a game is xemnas from kh2. The music, the epic QuickTime events, the sound of xemnas’ awesome voice echoing across the void, the tag team with riku, chasing him down through the fractured city and tossing buildings at his dragon, the final desperation move with the hundreds of lasers shooting at you at once. Another thing I like is how most of the game you’ve been learning about the organization, nobodies, and the collective goal of the group itself. And in the final phase of the boss, with xemnas saying “we shall go together” I believe implies that he has accepted that he cannot win, and that all he cares about now is returning to the void as long as he takes Sora and riku down with him.

I'd say my top 3 is 1: Dark Eater Midir. To this day its the only boss that gives me the sense "holy shit I've just done the impossible, And it was awesome." Not just because he's a dragon and dragons are cool. But also because his moveset is both expansive and completely fair. Most dragon fights especially in Fromsofts games tend to be shit cause the boss has insanely massive hit boxes. But with Midir the hitboxes are so tight that if you know what you're doing you can easily get away without getting hit. And his massive size add to making him seem incredibly difficult to defeat further enforced by his massive health. You'll be clawing away for hours if you didn't upgrade your weapons. But I don't mind going through thousands of mail breakers cause it just adds to the sense of pulling off this impossible feat. Its a spectacle fight without some dumb gimmick or a weapon that you need to use to win. 2: Deathstroke Arkham Origins: Partly why I keep saying Arkham Origins is my favorite in the series is because of the fight with Deathstroke. The bosses in Arkham City made you rely on your gadgets to succeed, but Origins does something different. Outside of Firefly and Deadshot, all of them make you rely on countering the enemy with more than just your gadgets. And Deathstroke shows up as the second boss not just for story reasons but to fully enforce the idea of countering the boss to win. After all at this point in the story you don't have many gadgets, and most of them can only stun Deathstroke so you need to be active and attack him. And yet he's the only boss in the series that is able to counter Batman that's insane. 3: Dante DMC5: Not many people talk about this fight mainly cause hardly anyone bothered to cover the Virgil dlc for DMC 5, but for anyone like myself who dares to sit through the painfully mediocre retread of playing through the whole story again with no cutscenes or context but as Virgil than you are given a fun as hell fight to end off on. I remember thinking that the only way this dlc can redeem itself is if it ends with me fighting Dante and Nero. And there was that doubt that was pestering me saying "nah they're not gonna do that". And then when I finally reach the final 2 levels I was blown away by I not only get to fight Dante but he turned out to be the best boss in the game. Still No Nero fight but who cares. Everything Dante can do when you control him is replicated in his fight. He has four different modes that he can transition through on the fly. He can counter your attacks. He's got guns, nunchucks, the motor cycle, a shotgun, the rocket launchers, he punches, kicks, dodges, goes super sayian and tries to pelt you with meteors. So much is happening at a fast pace which messes perfectly with your moveset. Cause you've seen what Virgil can do in his fight and now you can do that in this fight. Its like Capcom completely flipped the perspective and I love it.

Good list. I did mention people being generally nit picky about lords of the fallen bosses but I wasn’t referring to what you said. I didn’t agree with everything in that ranking but it was overall pretty fair.

odin is kinda crazy pick. thought he was one of the most underwhelming bosses for an otherwise amazing. great list though.

Man, great ranking! Adding Krausser is totally based. Certainly a great boss. I have to fight All Mind Iguana again. I didn't like the first phase that much, and I barely made it alive the first time I beat him (Although, after seeing many different fights against him, now I know what are my mistakes). On a side note, Have you played the Kingdom Hearts games? I would say that many of the optional super bosses are as hard or even harder than the hardest bosses made by Fromsoft. Roxas, Xemnas, Marluxia, Xehanort from KH2 and 3 are incredible. Lingering Will is probably the hardest boss fight I ever played that isn't entirely bullsh*t (although some of his moves slip to the bs territory), and Yosora is a f*cking amazing and hard boss without any kind of bullsh*t. Took me over a 100 tries and I admit that I needed to watch some videos to learn a couple more openings to be able to beat him, but it felt so damn good when I finally got him.

1. Isshin (Sekiro) 2. Ayre (AC6) 3. Godfrey (ER) 4. Vergil/Dante (DMC5) 5. Xemnas (KH2) Isshin is just the peak of what a final boss can be; Ayre is just a bittersweet fight with the most thought put in AC6 and not many flaws like Allmind; and I highly doubt there would be a better boss than Godfrey/Hoara Loux in ER (I'll be more than happy to be wrong). DMC5, for me, is the most polished action game in the market and KH2 was such a great title, even if the story was complete nonsense. So both deserve the 4th and 5th place.

Nameless puppet was top tier for me, probably would’ve placed it near #8

Bahamut from ff16 is somewhere in my top 10 for sure. I dont see enough people talking about it

Here's some of mine: Favorite boss "experience" of 2023: Bahamut of Final Fantasy XVI Game with best bosses of 2023: Armored Core 6 Most Satisfying Boss to defeat of all time: Sword Saint Ishin of Sekiro

Solid list. I can't find myself disagreeing with any spots here. It's probably not a boss you've encountered in your gaming endeavors but "Primordial Malzeno" (especially the hazard version) from MHR:Sunbreak is an absolute masterpiece too... The speed runner "Phinx" has a great long sword solo if you want to see a very short example of the fight. Otherwise, Peppo (the GOAT) showcases the fight with no build as part of his "the only thing you need is quick sheath" series. It takes a lot longer but you get to see the fight in all its glory. I personally think it's the only boss in the Monster hunter series that deserves to be included amongst the other bosses mentioned here so you aren't missing a large array of additions by not playing the series. Though, you should still try the games because they're incredible (if not a little hard to get into).

My own list would be: 10. Vergil (featuring Dante from DMC5; sorry, had to do it) 9. Otakemaru - Nioh 2 8. Ayre - Armored Core 6 7. Avion (5th Colossus) - Shadow of the Colossus 6. Ludwig, the Holy Blade - Bloodborne 5. Alatreon - Monster Hunter World: Iceborne 4. Slave Knight Gael - Dark Souls 3 3. Inner Father - Sekiro 2. Nanomachines, son - MGRR 1. Starscourge Radahn - Elden Ring 10 Honorable Mentions: Maliketh, the Black Blade - Elden Ring Orphan of Kos - Bloodborne Odin - GoW: Ragnarok Gna - GoW: Ragnarok Inner Isshin - Sekiro Balteus - Armored Core 6 Nightmare King Grimm - Hollow Knight Lu Bu - Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Tela Vasir - Mass Effect 2 Nergigante - Monster Hunter World

Final xemnas from kingdom hearts 2 will always be my favorite boss. Slave knight Gael is a close second

I can't believe Daimon from Dragons Dogma didn't make it on this list? What a wicked and punishing fight, I don't think I've had anything so epic in any other game.

This is roughly my top 10 currently but my opinion changes often 1. Yozora (KH3) 2. Vergil 3 (DMC3) 3. Vergil M19 (DMC5) 4. Malenia (Elden Ring) 5. Alatreon (MHW) 6. Inner Father (Sekiro) 7. Isshin (Sekiro) 8. Inner Genichiro (Sekiro) 9. Morgott (Elden Ring) 10. Data Xemnas (KH3)

Inner Genichiro is probably my favorite. Genichiro himself is the first real wall in the game. After him the game kinda opens up, so even if you never beat another boss you get to see so much. But he is the first boss to demand you use EVERYTHING You've learned. Inner Genichiro is that times 100. Far more precise, far higher risk. But, when you finally click, the dance you do together is perfect.

even after the pain someone like promised consort radahn gave me, i can’t help but absolutely love the fight, after figuring out his gimmicks, directions to roll, etc. its honestly amazing

What makes me love the allmind fight so much is mainly for 2 reasons. First, iguana manages to break free from a hivemind from pure spite. And secondly, in deleted dialogue it's said that an agitated human mind functions similarly to coral, which means that same spite from iguan is powering IB-02 sol-644.

Inner Isshin and Genichiro are without a doubt my favourite bosses of all time. Inner father never clicked as much for me but its still Sekiro so I still loved it.

I can completely understand why you would pick Godfrey and horah loux, but I cannot pick anyone in elden ring above dragon lord placidusax, The first time I saw that enormous ancient two headed dragon dissappear into the air only for him to come CRASHING DOWN AT THE SPEED OF A FIGHTER JET. I knew he would be my favorite

Lotta people are surprised by Nioh 2 placement, and though I can agree that the game is total fire, don't forget that it has a much (and I mean, much) higher barrier for entry, than your typical "souls-like". It is much harder than anything From Software has done in their games. Pleased to hear praises to ALLMIND, I have only vague memories of the boss, possibly because I was getting tired of the game by the point I got to him, so he's definitely on my list of challenges I should return to at some point. If I were to contribute my favourites from the titles you've covered: Hollow Knight - not played GoW Ragnarok - Gna RE4 - Salazar Bloodborne - Orphan / Lawrence / Ludwig / Maria DS3 - Midir Nioh 2 - Minamoto no Yoshitsune

The fact that boss responds to your action mid attack, and changes his animations is what solidifies for me, Sekiro combat is untouchable so far. Really wish for sekiro 2 or similar combat system.

Man watching this video makes me want to refight Allmind that fight really does get better on refights And tbh it is a fight I still struggle on

Nightmare king Grimm and lady Maria are 2 great bosses imo

I fucking love Sisters of Battle

top 3 bosses oat #1 Ludwig/Gael #2 Vergil (DMC3/5) #3 Data Roxas (Kingdom Hearts 2.5)

correction regarding nioh 2: the big booba boss is kasha. also a nice fight. tate eboshi has cool yams but kasha has s tier milkers.

In 2023 some of the FFXVI bosses absolutely blew me away with their presentation, music and gamefeel, even though only one of those fights was kind of difficult and the rest quite easy.

Here to represent the Lady Maria fans (my fav boss). Ty for the love 👍

Inner Father solves the issue of the pillars by letting you at any time throw a shuriken at him to have him go right to your location with mist raven into an overhead strike. This lets you easily keep the fight in the center of the arena and lets you up the pacing to how fast you can do the fight. Mohg for me is my favorite Elden Ring boss, but I'm curious how things will shake out after I've bested him and Godfrey on RL1. Pure Vessel is definitely my favorite from Hollow Knight, fully agree there. I came in to this video wanting to know if there existed a boss better than Inner Father and it seems like instead of finishing the video I need to sacrifice another $60 to From Software...

My #1 favorite boss of all time is Starscourge Radahn from Elden Ring. The entire fight is a spectacle from the attacks to the arena, to the phase transition to the beginning cutscene. The concept to be able to summon a bunch of allies to help in the fight is just amazing!

1. Daimon (Dragons Dogma) 2. Raphael (Baldurs Gate 3) 3. Ludwig (Bloodborne) 4. Morgott (Elden Ring) 5. Hyperion (Returnal)

yes, Inner father is the best boss in my opinion, glad to see it get the recognition it deserves.

Crazy to see nobody mentioning Gehrman, the first hunter..... He's got a tragic backstory , iconic design along with iconic lines, his fight is quite fun and the stage is gorgeous (and holds alot of meaning lore wise), mix that with the jaw dropping and sad soundtrack that plays, and we got a tragic and poetic end boss. The first hunter fights against the newest hunter each trying to save each other from this nightmare.....

Definitely a different genre but Sans from Undertale is worth mentioning. To culminate your genocide run, you get a heart pumping fight with comedic effect, great music, and an ever lasting impact on your game files for any future playthroughs

I'm a degenerate and choose Absolute Radiance for my favourite boss I've fought.

I could not have agreed more than with the line “the Godfrey fight made me feel like I was playing GOW more than Ragnarok ever did”. Well said.

11:34 Something I love about Godfrey is you already fought Pissfrey before. And he tends to start with the same moves that Pissfrey had so he lulls you into a false sense of security before switching his move set up and completely taking you off guard. Also sad as hell Inner Father was dethroned, he still is my favorite boss ever but I don’t disagree with your choice for 1. The fact Allguazu is canonically fueled by Iguana’s salt is just peak fiction to me.

My all time bosses are King of the puppet(includes Roemo) and Nameless puppet. Both are such a well made boss, honestly it rivals fromsoft's bosses imo.

Fun fact about pure vessel. The roar at the beginning has no sound unlike many other bosses in the game. It is because vessels are stated to have no voice to cry suffering.

It's increadibly difficult for me to limit myself to 10 specific bosses as there are so many fantastic bosses out there. That said however my top 3 as of now are probably the only ones I feel safe about, that being: 1. Malenia 2. Maria 3. Isshin the Sword Saint These bosses so far have offered the best balance between gameplay/mechanics, challenge, enjoyment factor and presentation imo. Easy 10/10 in most if not all categories to me. There are a billion other bosses I could name as contenders for the following 7 places honestly, but even among these there are a few that really stand out to me like Godfrey, Alatreon (his Iceborne version) and Ganandorf (TotK). These 3 are just among the first I think of when the topic of bosses in videogames comes up and I don't quite know why exactly tbh.

The fight with inner father is in fact, impactful to the story, you're actually living the true memory at Hirata, through the eyes of the Owl. The first time you go there, it's a fake memory granted by the sick woman that gave you the bell and didn't remember what actually happened

My favorite boss fight is Pardoner Fennel from Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight. It's a rather challenging boss fight, but what elevates it is Pardoner's Dance, which plays during this boss fight. Pardoner's Dance elevates Pardoner Fennel from simply being a great boss to feeling like a duel among equals, elevating it beyond a simple boss fight. Furthermore, Fennel has very grounded movement and attacks, which makes her feel powerful for reasons that aren't brute strength, and elevates the feeling that you're fighting an opponent on equal footing. For some reason, a boss that follows the same rules as you feels so much more intimidating than a boss that's built to look and/or feel intimidating because you know they have to be just as strong, if not stronger, than those monstrous bosses you fought before, and Unworthy is full of examples of this in action, especially amongst the early bosses like Narcoss and Gaston. Their grounded movement, attack patterns that slowly build upon their existing movesets with absolutely no fanfare, attacks that gain combo attacks as the fight goes on that punishes players for the most common dodge patterns makes most of Unworthy's bosses feel extremely threatening without relying too much on spectacle. Furthermore, its black-and-white aesthetics contrasts with a juicy level-up animation that plays every time you beat a boss to provide an unparalleled feeling of triumph upon beating its bosses. Unworthy's best boss, in my opinion, is Dancer of Thorns since she makes the fight feel more like a dance than a fight, as she never stops moving except for a handful of attacks that use her feet. In addition, she provides a very interesting use of the Spirit Bow, as the fight requires you to use said Bow to dodge an attack that will otherwise instantly kill you. Gaston and Father Amandil are also standout fights for how they provide interesting applications for the Hammer and the Spirit Bow, respectively, and Frayed Knight Dominic is a personal favorite of mine for his sheer charisma and its opening sequence. Grime similarly has some standout bosses, although its bosses have a lot more spectacle. The Final Performance would be #2 on my list after Pardoner Fennel, because even though it's a challenging boss fight it's less of a fight and more of an act or performance designed just to make you look good. It starts with a platforming challenge built around avoiding some dancers, then a fight against the Performer that combines patterns that are fairly difficult to dodge and/or parry but also provide the graceful dancing movements throughout. One of the standout moments is that when you parry him twice, he bows to the crowd, because again, this boss fight isn't about beating you, it's about making you look good. Shapely Fidus is up there too, as she has some difficult to dodge attacks and perhaps the coolest attack I've ever seen, where she grips her sword with her whole body, ignites it on fire, and plunges it into the ground, creating a ring of fire that expands outwards from her position and retracts to said position, indicating the start of her second phase where you can't parry her attacks anymore. Amalgam also is worth mentioning just because it's a first boss with a theme that in many other games would fit a final boss and is so much more of a spectacle than any first boss has any right to be.

After playing Wo Long base game I haven't gone back to play the DLC. Nioh 2 was just so good and I agree Lu bu was the best roster in base game

15:20 The final battle with Ayre was the moment I began to warm up to aim-assist/hard lock, as her insane speed made hitting her with soft lock extremely difficult, and even then it took me about ten tries to finally beat her.

Now make like a top twenty or thirty except you can allow multiple from different games, I need more magic cat content dammit, I don’t care how redundant

I've never actually gotten around to doing Inner Father and Inner Isshin. Maybe this will motivate me.

5:14 "Deflection porn" reminds me of that video YT randomly recommended to me: "You Can Parry Nukes In This Game"

After 100% completing AC6, I found a flight sim joystick at a thrift shop nearby and it made me decide to erase my save file and play the whole game over again. Best decision ever! It was a whole different experience playing with a flight stick and mouse, let me have the precise movement with the joystick and the fast camera flicks with the mouse, best way to play the game by far. For reference it was just a Logitech attack 3, and my mouse had 2 side buttons for the shoulder weapons

My list goes (also limiting to 1 boss per game): 1. Tate Eboshi - Nioh 2 (Close with Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Otakemaru, Shibata Katsuie, Toshimitsu Saito... sht this 1 game limitation really hurting Nioh 2) 2. Shadow Prince - Divinity: Original sin 2 (Close with Adramahlihk, Lucian, Alexandar in Fort Joy) 3. Ketheric Thorm / Avatar of Myrkul - Baldur's Gate 3 (Close with Raphael, Ansur, Cazador) 4 . Larry "Solo Wing Pixy" Foulke - Ace Combat Zero 5. Technically not a boss fight in the traditional sense of the word, but sure felt like one to me, first encounter with CSAT Chinese spec ops - Arma 3: Apex Protocol 6. Owl (father) - Sekiro (got bored halfway through NG+ so never met inner bosses, close with Isshin Sword Saint, Genichiro) 7. Soul of Cinder - Dark Souls 3 8. Artorias - Dark Souls 1 9. Jetstream Sam - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 10. Rockbreaker (The Claws Beneath) - Horizon: Zero Dawn

My favorite bosses are: Marika, Miquella, Goddess of Rot, Godwin of Deathroot, and the Greater Will. Sadly, they don't exist yet.

The saddest thing is how inner father doesn't use smoke screen or poison. I feel like a massive smoke screen into an ambush where you have to deflect through sound alone is gonna feel like the most badass moment ever.

I love your videos man please keep it going. Your boss ranking bids are fire o

I tend to suffer greatly from recency bias with boss fights. As such, right now Titan Lost from FF16 is my favorite boss fight. Its not mechanically very interesting, but i dont think any game has equalled the spectacle and presentation. It is absolute bombastic isanity

No Lingering Will or Yozora? No Azel from God Hand? No Angelo Credo, Dante let alone Vergil? No Sans Undertale?! What is this?! It's almost like you play different games or something!

also idk if you ever heard of the series but if you ever want some nice action games with fun bosses to learn I reccomend Ys Origin and Ys Oath in Felghana. the rest of the series and Falcom's ARPGs in general aren't as consistently great with boss design as these two games. but they're still a decent time overall, at least they appeal to me but at the very least I confidently reccomend those two to any Souls/ARPG fans because they got pretty good boss rosters of monsters and humanoids to learn. Ys Origin especially has such a fun set of humanoid boss types

When ALLMIND crushed the other ac under its foot I jumped up and yelled. That fight cemented AC6 as my goty.

Allmind is the goat

8:15 is what makes me still consider Tate Eboshi she is the only boss that I feel really encourages stance swapping in the game as more than just the optimal way to play
