The Doom Dragon from Golden Sun 2 was a Awesome Boss.

Fast Paced, Challenging, awesome theme, it made me work.

But it was nothing compared to Star Magician which was extremely hard.
And iv yet to fight Dullihan but i hear he is murder.

My vote goes to the Star Magician, hard as hell and has an awesome battle theme (which he "stole" from the Saturos boss battle)

- and yes, Dullahan is pretty hard, just like the way to unlock acces to him (collect all Djinns)

I liked Dead Space 1's boss, too bad it was somewhat easy.
Andross from Starfox 64
Meta Ridely from Metroid Prime is also awesome

Team but once i got all of his Star Balls to Thunder Balls, i just had Sheena Buff my teams Res every other turn and focused attacks on the Star Magician.

And for the Djinns...ugh....
I was missing two....TWO.
But the world is so big there was no way i would spend the next week looking for them...

I was missing only 1 Djinn, and i had to ask around between my friends (had no internet at the time) to find it.
But after Dullahan you get the most powerfull summon so it was worth it

And who said vengeance doesn't pay?

What do you get when Goro and the Devil have a freakish love child, mixed with some crazy off the wall spectacle fighting?

Champion Cynthia from Pokemon Diamond.

She was so damn difficult to beat but so satisfying.

The first time I ever Battled Red on Pokemon Gold way back when...

A battle of EPIC proportions it was!

Honourable Mentions:
-Brock (Dead Rising)
-Bid Sisters/Big Daddies (Bioshock)
-General RAAM (Gears of War)
-Pretty much any Ninja Gaiden II boss

GLaDOS. Not exactly the greatest bit of gameplay for a boss battle (I like Big Daddies in that regard, too), but her monologue is amazing. The second time I played through the game I let the neurotoxin kill me so that I could hear everything she had to say.

 

[ShatterPalm]

In order from greatest to least, Phalanx (SotC), Nitros (BomberMan Hero), Molgera (LoZ: WW), Dulahan (GS: TLA), and Alden (InFamous)

Phalanx was astounding, Nitros was just nuts, Molgera was fun and challenging for me, Dulahan was brutal was exetremely satisfying to take down, and Alden was challenging.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Final Boss in Omega Boost. While it wasn't challenging, it felt epic just because of where you were and the fact the Dreamer by Cast was playing.

 

[AvsJoe]

I love a boss battle that takes a while to beat and is a real challenge without being stupidly hard.

My two favourite boss battles are both from the Final Fantasy series: Yuffie's father from FFVII and the Abaddon from FFX. Both took tons of effort and skill to beat (I was underleveled on both occasions).

My third favourite was the final boss from Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits. A sub-par game but the final boss battle was excellent.

Can you tell I enjoy JRPG's?

Well Vergil from DMC3 cuz i loved the theme, and the brother fighting, and it beying "the last battle".

I loved fighting breene in halflife, cuz i love the whole tension of trying to rush and beat him, and having the hair up by beying nervous....

i loved tzar last level because it united nations worldwide to defeat one common enemy....

i loved killing the last boss in kingdom hearts, because when everything seemed lost, sora arose from the shadows and fought till the last breath...

i loved fighting the boss in snake eater, cuz the song, the moment, the tension, fighting your mentoy, a person that isnt evil, but that sacrificed everything for her country (it was a very honorable fight)...

i loved defeating Zeus in God of War 2, the rage i had, i could figure out what to do and when i did, i went onwards to one hell of a fight... and i won...

i loved DeusEx because of the philosophy it teached, and the last moments of the game create a tension that will make you follow one of 3 endings.... i became a god...

i loved beyond good and evil ending, i think it was a very powerfull game and fighting that boss that made your keywords backwords was a pain in the ass... beating it was a great moment...

I loved beating pokemon blue when i was a kid... i felt like i achieved something, listening to that elite 4 music was epic, and i trained really hard for that...

i loved beating every single spyro and crash bandicoot cuz they are classics ill never forget...

i loved banjoo kazooei and problably every single n64 game, i loved that generation...


But allas after so many adventures, rescuying princesses from giant turtles, saving zelda over and over, defying armies in my metal slug tank, going through heaven and hell, fight aliens, mummys, zombies, nazis, zombie nazis, monster nazis, demons and creatures of the unknown, i will say nothing beats my first gameboy game i ever beaten in those days.. zelda dx... it was not the best of game boss battles, but i felt good because it was my first that i beaten, and i worked on that game for so long...

General Ram in Gears of War. Jesus Christ is that guy hard to kill, even on easy. But oh is it satisfying.

Wait really? I never got why people thought that dope was tough, even on the higher difficulties.

Grab sniper rifle, hide behind the initial barrier, shoot in face when krill fly at you, repeat. The you're too far away from the krill for them to hit you, and the idiot pretty much just takes in the face with sniper bullets.

Ok maybe if you didn't wanna take the easy way and be all manly and junk he could be hard. But for the most part he's a joke.
