The final battle against Gruntillda (sp?) in Banjo-Kazooie. After years of stuggeling throughout the game, finally confronting her at last made soo pumped and feeling of "today you are finally going down!" I soon learn shortly how wrong I truely was, but man that was one hell of a boss battle. Finally defeating her gave me the must satisfying joy.
And while her boss battle in Nuts and Bolts while nothing compared to the original, it did have an amazing remake of her theme song.

I know I'm probably going to get flack for this, but I really liked the Ancient Rock Wraith from dragon age 2, what I really liked about it was two things: there were some really cool mechanics involved in fighting him, and that whole zone you go through to get to him seemed like something right out of Metroid to me (the Ancient Thaig reminded me of Bryyo from Corruption and the boss reminded me of Thardus from MP1) that's probably why I still have good memories of the game because of that awesome boss fight that had some (unintentional) allusions to a very treasured series of mine
here's a link to what he looked like if anyone interested:

EThe Emerald Weapon from FF7 because you really had to plan your tactics to beat it and even then, a lucky blow could destroy you.
I'm trying to get a few from a few genres. I love making lists!
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Legion (don't remember what they called him there)
Conker's Live and Reloaded (haven't played the original, sue me) - Great Mighty Poo
Guitar Hero 3 - Lou
Marvel Ultimate Alliance - Galactus
Mass Effect - Saren (not actually fighting him but, talking him into shooting himself)
Star Fox 64 - ANY and EVERY level wherein you fight Star Wolf and crew
Zelda 2 - Barba

...Well damn, when you put it like that...I never actually thought of it like that before, even when I did it.JEBWrench said:
I loved that one due to it's awesomeness but it felt way too one sided, I mean come on. A pissed off Assassin Vs an Un-armed Pope.JEBWrench said:
Assassin's make killing an art.
Pope...is pope.
It felt too easy for me. :S
OT: For me I guess it would be the final Battle in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
I mean a one on one showdown with a bad ass in an awesome environment and also the final hit...I loved that.
Deathwing is pathetic compared to The Lich King.miketehmage said:
Of course, Pre-Nerf Heroic Lich King is the only boss from Wrath that was actually better than Zero-Light Yogg-Saron.
More OT:
I always feel bad finishing off Sif. The way she limps at you is just heart wrenching. On the other hand, before I tag-teamed her with a Souls-buddy, I had no idea how to win, but holy finagling hog-monkeys! Her AI is not set up for two people, that's for sure.MrShowerHead said:
But what makes it worse was when I fought her without a strong melee weapon, so I crossbow-ed her to death. On the one hand, it was a fairly safe battle-style (dodge and chip, dodge and chip), but it meant that when she started limping, it takes FOREVER to end it.
OT: Sif is pretty cool. Mt Gagazet Seymour is painful. Alduin is fun because it is 4 vs 1, and dragon rend + shield makes him stagger ALL THE TIME!
1. Reliquary of Souls (World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade: Black Temple). A brilliant fight for showcasing how to work as a team. Phase 1 requires precise positioning, and an extremely tricky aggro switch, phase 2 all player damage is reflected so the DPS needs to learn to carefully do as much DPS as possible without killing themselves, phase 3 is a really tense DPS race.
2. Illidan (same as above). I got to be one of the flame tanks, which I'd very much dreaded yet looked forward to at the same time because everyone who had done it said that it was the hardest part to tank in the whole game. I managed to pull it off perfectly, and that made me so damn proud.

I'm always fond of The End from MGS3, but then again, mostly everyone is. All of the giant robot battles from Mystic Ninja starring Goemon are hilarious and fun as well.
You mean Ozzie, Magus' wacky second in command. It's even better in the second time, once you hit all the switches (one of which drops your party into a pit) and start the fight again, a random cat shows up and flips the final switch. Cue Ozzie falling down the pit.Vern5 said:
From Chrono Trigger again, the final form of Lavos was also really neat as the obvious target wasn't actually the one you needed to hit. Instead of the body you had to attack the innocuous looking blob next to it.
Ok let me think...Dark Samus from Metroid Prime 2, Ganon from Twilight Princess, Red Eye from Lost Planet 2, half of the bosses from Dark Souls. That's all I got.
