That's easy.

Pick any boss from The Binding of Isaac. Any of them.

Really, Na'vi? Really? Any boss? Are you sure you're not forgetting Widow?

OT: The final boss from Persona 3. It'll always be a better final boss when compared to P4's.

Mainly because it requires you to change tactics mid battle in order to accommodate to the boss's changing weaknesses. And the boss changes weaknesses PLENTY of times, so you have to be super prepared.

Plus, the battle song wins best battle theme out of everything everywhere in the universe.

I'd say any boss from God of War as a series, they were really memorable and were always impressive. Granted some followed the boss behind a fence design many games abuse but they were still god damned amazing.

Also how about Robotnik from Sonic 3 (without Sonic & Knuckles) he was able to damage Super Sonic. Well THAT's a surprise and a half.

Shadow of the Colossus is literally made of amazing boss fights so you can't go wrong there.


The final battle for Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War one of the best I've dealt with, the greatest 1v1 music helps though.



I loved the Nightmare fights in DMC1 as well as most of the fights in DMC3.


Nier boss fights got pretty damn good, although by the time I got to some of them I had to up the difficulty or I would 1 shot them.

I'm not a hack and slash player! So my bosses are limited...

Dark Souls; Dragon Slayer Ornstein & Executioner Smough.

MGS3: The End...the first time it was a 2-3 hour battle for me because he kept photo-synthesising. The next time I put on headphones and used the sound mic more. Applying strategy and using tools at your disposal (sound mic, camo, thermal vision, light reflecting off his scope, footprints, birds) makes it feels like a real test of skill. A massive forest also doesn't hurt.

MGS3: The Fury- Most under-rated MGS boss fight. Hunting each other in the dark whilst trying to hide from him.

Lylat wars: vs the Star Wolf team. I just love the music and the banter 'daddy squeeled real hard'

MGS4: Crying Wolf sniper battle. Something about a sniper off with rail guns in a blizzard with ninja's. The blizzard was brilliant..what an environment to battle in.

Warrior Within: Does running away from the Dahaka count. B'cos I was sweating like crazy

The first Phantom Fight from DMC1

Really? I thought that fight was kind of crappy and limiting. Then again, my issues with it were likely exacerbated by the awful, awful fixed camera that is thus far proving to be the most sinister enemy in the whole game.

I liked it because it's the first time the game actually challenged me. The promise of more of those kind of bosses is what kept me playing...until I had to fight him during the Nightmare fight.

Biggie and Smalls from Dark Souls

Is that a reference to the rapper?

I would throw my hat in for Kirby superstar Bosses. Great theme, great diversity.

Also, I would choose the bosses of kingdom Hearts series, basically due to the games combat. My focus would be on KH1's first time around Disney bosses because that battle theme is my favorite but all the battles are pretty much the same.

Really? Whoops.

I really shouldn't skim over stuff so quickly. >_<
