What boss/enemy fight sticks in your memory the most?

Mass Effect

@commandernici • 23m

This post contains a spoiler.

when you pass the charisma challenge and think you got your way out of the fight and then BOOM next round

Donkey Kong 64

@just5moremins • 13d

My brother recently reminded me of how awful this guy was to play against. I probably taught him some cuss words back in the day.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2

@thunder • 13d

You just had to be there

Elden Ring

@aerialapostle • 38d

Malenia is just so iconic. Even though I struggled more against the final boss in the game, Malenia's design, how the fight plays out, and even the journey through the haligtree to get there, is thoro...more

Monster Hunter: World

@youngloganyoung • 51d

Alatreon was added in the 4th title update for Iceborne and it was brutal. The fight had a dps wall and required players to use elemental weapons for the fight during a time where the meta was blast. ...more

Final Fantasy IX

@suromike • 54d

The final boss I prepared for absolute hours grinding through monsters & even then was an absolute mammoth slugfest to finally beat him down

Fallout 4

@quinnvortex • 54d

Deathclaws...

Red Dead Redemption 2

@jpegmario • 181d

This post contains a spoiler.

Fighting Micah at the end was a long time coming

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@dennis • 259d

Thunderblight Ganon was one of the hardest enemies in the game. He far outmatched Calamity Ganon in my mind.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

@themadbombchu • 261d

Just thinking about it still gives me chills.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

@mikboy018 • 333d

That first wave of attacks he throws... Insanity!

Kingdom Hearts II

@wiifu • 359d

This fight right here. I only play critical on kingdom hearts and this boss right here is the only one i could never beat. There’s cheese where you can infinite combo but that’s no fun. Lots of su...more

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link

@infocynic • 360d

Thunderbird, the penultimate boss, is still hard for me these days. after an extremely hard dungeon, in the old school days where there's no save point before the boss, beating him was a cause for cel...more

Kingdom Hearts

@evolvixon • 360d

Fighting Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts definitely. I had just turned 18 at the time and I hadn't seen FFVII yet. So I was like, whoa this guy is a babe 🤣

Bayonetta

@uxorcist • 360d

This mofo was so frickin' hard. This fight STUMPED my high school ass. It took days because I would not go down in difficulty. Until I did. T___T Jubileus got the best of me. Ending of this game was f...more

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero

@jklein8383 • 360d

It's been this way for a long time and I don't know why.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

@jaimecitoamor • 360d

The fight with just Micaiah taking on the Black Knight. The fog. She was alone. It took me like 47 tries and made me wonder if I needed to start over to strengthen her for that battle. It was amazing ...more

Super Mario Bros.

@joob • 360d

Like a few others have said, beating Bowser in level 8-4. I was 5 at the time and immediately called my grandma to tell her the good news that I rescued the princess! That was the first game I owned,...more

Skylanders: Trap Team

@bammonty • 365d

I love all the fights but the one that was the hardest and will always stick with me was the one against the golden queen

The Legend of Zelda

@nasko0406 • 471d

It was the first game that caused rage fighting the final boss.

Super Mario Bros.

@seenitcoveredit • 489d

Too many failed attempts as a 6 year old.

Metal Gear Solid

@shartbus • 511d

Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid. He's already one of the creepiest villains ever, and 16 year old me freaked out when he starts telling you the other Konami games you play (by reading the memory car...more

God of War (2018)

@roorl • 528d

Beating Sigrun using just fists and shield and runs on Give me God of War difficulty (No axe, blades, or BOiii!)

Star Fox 64

@ottozone • 529d

Beating Andross only to for his head to explode and beat his brains and eyeballs in this nightmare fuel boss battle and escape the explosion in a race out of the planet to have your late father's ghos...more

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@zonkedwheat9999 • 535d

loved just fighting calamity ganon 6 times?

Super Mario 64

@justsayingsoican • 581d

I love tossing Bowser by his tail. It's also easy to recreate with my Mario toys

Gears of War

@cweezee87 • 600d

The final boss on the hardest difficulty co-op/split screen with a buddie of mine. OMG the number of times we wiped to finish this.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@qmoran87 • 604d

Calamity Ganon was such a tough boss even with the Divine Beasts getting him down to half his HP

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

@daddymang • 619d

Every boss in this game was memorable. The giant Goran boss in Majora's mask was also completely unforgettable.

Super Mario 64

@mariomaestro • 629d

There was just something about Bowser stomping aroung in 3D and spinning him around by the tail with that soundtrack raging. Close runner up is definitely the one that started it all (SMB).

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

@whitethunder • 638d

The end fight with ganon was probably one of the most exciting things I did pre 9/11.

Super Mario Bros.

@jedijohann • 639d

Beating world 8-4 Bowser was and is my greatest gaming achievement. It is the first game I ever beat. I went into 8-4 with 99 lives and beat it on my last one. No gaming victory will ever overtake tha...more

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

@mistermez • 655d

Ganondorf fight. Spent so much time getting to him, it was so sweet finally taking him down.

Super Metroid

@mmccormick80 • 657d

Definitely the dinosaur thing that sinks into the lava and then attacks you again as a skeleton before dying.

Chrono Trigger

@mcitaly • 664d

Lavos

Pokémon Gold and Silver

@thebrute07 • 672d

After clearing Kanto you can find Red and battle him. Pretty epic conclusion to everything. Still wish they would revisit the way they set up the endgame for this generation.

Metroid Prime

@danioverhere • 676d

The titular Metroid Prime of "Metroid Prime." It/She laid the beat-down on me dozens of time; it was equally as thrilling as it was difficult. From gameplay to visuals, character-design to level-des...more

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

@yattamagnus • 677d

As a kid I saw him on tv and heard grown ups talk about him with such admiration and fear. He is a literal Real Life End Boss. Only legitimately beaten him 2 times…

Pokémon Red and Blue

@madharryrackham • 678d

Elite Four/Rival battles. The peak of your very first Pokemon journey. Little 7th grade me was shaking with adrenaline when I finally won.

Final Fantasy VII

@reverendrekt • 678d

Ruby Weapon. Still one of the hardest bosses ever, but the first time I encountered it I had no idea what I was doing, hadn't saved in awhile and was very, very sad. My arch-nemesis ever since.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

@alecshepard27 • 679d

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance needs to be added to this. And it’s always nice to see Sundowner get what he deserves.

Donkey Kong 64

@froggy • 681d

King Krusha K. Rule. First longer game that I had finished. I also love boxing games and themes so it was extra fun.

Final Fantasy VII

@bayesic • 683d

Jenova LIFE... if you know you know. The only game I've EVER played that's actually made me cry

Super Mario Bros.

@bitzdad • 683d

Beating Bowser on level 8-4 was a moment I will never forget. It was early on a Saturday morning and I woke my parents up to tell them.

Final Fantasy X

@tootslaroo • 684d

Spoiler alert Jecht/Sin I was still relatively new to RPGs and didn't do much grinding. I probably tried 30+ times before finally beating him.

The Legend of Zelda

@rusty6713 • 684d

Aquamentus (the level 1 boss) I chose this due to how easy it has always been. One of the easiest Zelda bosses and easiest boss in gaming. I love seeing him pop up.

Luigi's Mansion

@codyb • 685d

Fighting the bowser costume. Took me awhile to figure out you had to shoot the bombs back at him.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

@ohtwotwo • 685d

the betrayal of General Shepard + the hunt for Vladimir Makarov.

Dante's Inferno

@dosandres • 687d

Cleopatra. I mean what the hell. Freaky stuff. Don’t really want to go to detail on this respectful site. Just YouTube it. The whole game is crazy.

Left 4 Dead 2

@dizzlebot • 691d

The last level in the carnival where you're at the rock concert! My friends and I were playing through this game on expert and I remember trying to go at it over and over so many times until his pare...more

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

@codydavis • 691d

Iron Mike Tyson! Don't think I ever beat this as a kid. This always stuck out to me as the hardest boss in a video game. One punch and your down. The nerves/pressure were high whenever you spent a lon...more

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

@seth • 692d

As a kid I just thought this boss was super cool. Everything about Shadow temple was dope.

Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

@mase • 697d

They didn't have the Super Nintendo Super Punch out, so I chose the first one for now. Nick Fury!!!! Spent so much time trying to beat this guy

Luigi's Mansion

@cknbromein • 697d

The final boss fight, Bowser! It took me forever to figure what the hell to do all I did for hours was run around and avoid spike balls hoping to wear him out and something to happen. It was using the...more

Descent II

@enderphoenix • 697d

This guy right here. In Descent 2, you're used to using your arsenal to obliterate the enemies through sheer force. For this guy, who could not only teleport and go invisible, he was invulnerable exce...more

Dark Souls

@buddhastank • 697d

The Lord of Cinder, Gwyn. I never really parried in the game much, until I met this boss. I became a pro by the end of it.

Super Smash Bros. 64

@alden • 697d

I have to admit this is where my inspiration comes from during before-bed tickle fights with my kids.

Elden Ring

@gargada • 697d

I have to say Margit sticks with me the most. Mostly because all I heard was how tough he was, yet I killed him on my second try. And it would have been the first, had I actually hit dodge when I shou...more

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@joel • 697d

Ganon from @thelegendofzeldabreathofthewild. Wasn't difficult at all. And we put off fighting him for too long. But this was the first video game my kids and I played together. We played for months. S...more

@nanner • 698d

Andross in Star Fox Adventures. It was the first boss fight I beat on my own. It’s such a great feeling to beat your first boss with no help

@laughatbrian • 698d

I remember after defeating Cronos in God of War 3, I put the controller down and just sat on my couch for a few minutes. I couldn't believe how amazing this battle was. I turned the game off and went ...more

@notjosh • 698d

I’ll forever hate this dude, Shao Kahn.

@rey • 698d

There's a few bosses that stick in my head (Malenia, Hades, Cuphead Devil), but the story telling and smart/fun adventure of Will of the Wisps was ended perfectly by the battle against Shriek. The bo...more

@bvr • 698d

Psycho Mantis, Metal Gear Solid. The “technology” in this battle was well beyond it’s time. Switch the controller input? Come on.

God of War (2018)

@geodad • 692d

Sigrun, the last valkyrie boss. Learning the counters and different combos made me really appreciate the combat system... Thinking about replaying before the next one comes out.

@gongshowdad • 698d

If you know, you know…the most absolute Ridiculous boss. As a 10 year old, this was just impossible. I did finally beat it a couple years ago

Super Mario 64

@blockmamba • 697d

Bowser from Super Mario 64. This was the first game I got 100% on and Bowser was the boss in my favorite games growing up. Nothing will ever beat having to spin him around.

Kingdom Hearts II

@dan • 697d

Sephiroth on Kingdom Hearts 2. FFVII? I'll take that chump in any form. Kingdom Hearts II? I got cloooooooooooooooooooose but never finished the job. It haunts me to this day. I'm about to hit up the ...more
