I'll tell you what boss gave my wife the most trouble -- the dragon from Spiritfarer. You can't "die" or "lose" or anything, and to anyone who's played ANY platformers it's pretty simple. But watching her "battle" this thing was one of the most nerve-wracking experiences I've ever had.

@Leopez02 4 месяца назад

I'm interested of playing Hollowknight, is there the Hard Boss fights? 😮

@niveketihw1897 4 месяца назад

@@Leopez02 Not entirely, but there is a section toward the beginning that sort of feels like a boss fight. Big creature several screens large, screen turns dark, menacing urgent-sounding music, patterns to learn and techniques to use. Like I said, you can't actually lose or die but you can take forever to beat it and get frustrated and quit before then -- if you're very very new. This was literally the first videogame (other than Solitaire and an iPad-based puzzle game) my wife had ever played in her life, so without the decades-long experience playing all kinds of games, it was all new -- and she struggled A LOT. And it was a nail-biter to watch -- will she persevere and beat the boss or will she give up and quit playing either temporarily or permanently? She did end up beating it but it was tense.

Nah, the hardest part is not choking like hell after 40 minutes of other fights. So much of PoH is just muscle memory and overpowering the hell out of early/mid game bosses until you get to the last set, then it's just a nightmare - Markoth, Zote, Failed Champion, NKG, a tiny breather then Pure Vessel and AbsRad.

@cullenreeves3108 4 месяца назад

@@Centyme no doubt it’s a stupid hard fight. It’s all the more difficult because you can’t just jump back in to it. You have to slog through the entire gauntlet full of hard fights. I can’t count how many runs I lost on nightmare king Grimm just trying to make it to the end.

@silentx6644 2 месяца назад

In a normal playthrough, i would argue that dracula is a little harder (because of the wolf + beam combo). However, when I was playing a no-hit boss playthrough, Blackmore was probably the hardest boss (excluding Eligor, trash boss). Dracula second phase can be cheesed using Volaticus, Albus was basically sliding -> hasta -> sliding over and over again. Barlowe was probably the second hardest, Globus can be absorbed, the ice attack was easy to dodge, and the fire attack was basic dodging patterns. Blackmore first phase was easy with Nitesco, but the second phase took some time for me (the hardest part was definitely the meteor + lunge attack, the gap for jumping was less than comfortable)

Never mind the last boss, I started playing the other day, I am struggling with the first boss. It requires precise parrying, but the animation feels a bit clunky to me, probably because it is hand-drawn. It feels like the animation is skipping frames which makes things extremely complicated. Sekiro was super smooth, so it was easier, or fairer is a better word, to find the exact moment to parry.

@beanzthumbz Месяц назад

Abs rad is just a ridiculous boss. Because not only do you need shit loads of repetition to build the muscle memory to dodge het attacks, but the way she chains her attacks together creates an element of chaos that is absent in other fights. The fight is therefore way less deterministic than PV or NKG and requires a bit of improvisation. Then you have to do the climb, which I swear my reaction time is just not fast enough to get consistent. Then you have to pogo her while dodging the death balls. It took me literally weeks of fighting her every day to get my win ratio to 3:4. Then I slaughtered that damn moth at the end of p5. Never again

For the record ravenbeak never slept with anyone. The chozo are infertile anyways. I feel like people who aren't familiar with the series take it ultra literally She has his DNA, it's the DNA they infused her with to make her badass enough to survive the cruel atmosphere and gravity on planet zebes as a child

I guess MojoPlays aren’t familiar with the lore of Metroid. But I’m kind of annoyed that Raven Beak is on every single list about video game bosses. Sure he is hard, and it was cool to fight an evil Chozo, but people will just not stop talking about him and he is overrated because of this.

by the time i got to shriek i had a monster health bar cuz i thought it would end the game for me so i wanted to get completion first. Only problem was that i robbed myself of a great fight by accidentally being able to tank like the whole fight.

@surestrange 4 месяца назад

Funny how hard some of these bosses are, and then you put the time in and can then practically do it in ur sleep. I’ve played just about every Castlevania game so many of them are mixed up in my head but there were a few bosses on the handheld games that were ridiculous. The goat head boss in Circle of the Moon and one of the Dracula fights that was on pillars where one hit would knock you off..Among a few others

Another one in hollow knight while I am well aware of absolute radiance's difficulty from the other hallow knight dlc come nightmare king grimm the dream version of Grimm and boy if you don't have perfect timing he will eat you alive within seconds to this day beating him is my proudest gaming achievement and it took me so long that I didn't even remember what I needed to do afterwards

@PerritoGG 4 месяца назад

Nightmare King was amazing but he was instantly replaced when Pure Vessel arrived.

@ridleyrage5283 4 месяца назад

Interesting list, but I mean, these bosses are more "tough on a first playthrough" than anything, not consistently hard. Shriek from Ori 2, I took down on my 2nd try with ease; the sandworm chase for me was way, WAY harder, that thing took so many lives with its bs timing. And I mean, Eviterno from Blasphemous 2? What about Isidora from Blasphemous 1? I'd argue she's much, much tougher to master

@jesusvera7941 4 месяца назад

Isidora? i think crisanta was harder imo.

@PerritoGG 4 месяца назад

@@jesusvera7941 Agree, the only problem with Isidora is that she has a gazillion HP, once you learn her moveset she becomes quite manageable. Crisanta is harder. Eviterno was a cakewalk with Sarmiento and Centella, his 3-hit combo is parryable and you can just eat his HP.

@Toxoplasmosis679 Месяц назад

Smh they didn’t even mention grime. Also as far as Aeterna Noctis, I beat the emperor on my 1st or 2nd try. Fear however, was the boss that took me the longest, maybe 3 or 4 hours of attempts, and that’s a generous estimate.

@LoganLoux 4 месяца назад

I can't believe F.IS.T. Forged In Shadow Torch isn't mentioned in this video. That is a GOOD metroidvania styled game.

@VlasiosSokorelosTheDarkwavist 4 месяца назад

Don’t forget the final two boss encounters in the tower. It was a nightmare and a half, and I manages to finish them before they added the easier mode. Also, the combo trials almost made me break my controller. But it was an amazing game. Punishing at times, but loved it a lot.

@alpenglow7046 4 месяца назад

Out of the 3 of these I've beaten (Shriek, Raven Beak & Absolute Radiance) I'd say Absolute Radiance is definitely the hardest.

@kerke4639 3 месяца назад

Absolute Radiance does have some bullshit moments at times with it combining attacks here and there with the beams and the flying swords. If you haven’t beaten it before, you really should save your soul for the 2nd phase to heal before it starts. The 2nd phase at first glance is very difficult if you chase it constantly but waiting on the bottom platform does make it pretty easy. The balls that follow you constantly hit other platforms while trying to chase. The hardest part for me is the climb. While it is easily doable without taking damage, you do have to find the right rhythm and if you don’t you could easily get hit by a ray it sends 3 or 4 times. And the final phase is pretty easy. Stay on the left platform and pogo on it three times every time it comes to the middle or the left. It really is a very tough fight to beat for the first time, especially with it being double damage so a couple mistakes ending your run which is devastating on P5 but once you beat it once or twice, you really get super comfortable with it and the hall of gods really makes that super easy since you can fight it over and over.

@patrickmichaelis1783 4 месяца назад

Have you played it? Its different than the other MegaMan Games it has a interconnected Map, you need the Boss Skills for Exploration to get New Upgrades and uncover Secrets. In my eyes it's a true Metroidvania und many agree with that.

@e.mcallister2444 4 месяца назад

I can think of one you missed, but I don't blame you for not having footage of it. Dead Cells' true final boss on the highest difficulty setting, The Collector. I've beaten Absolute Radiance, and I'm still afraid of that thing. Dead Cells doesn't mess around.

@chloemchll3774 4 месяца назад

Whether or not Dead Cells is a Metroidvania is a matter of debate (personally, I consider it a roguelike but not a Metroidvania, as part of Metroidvanias are collecting “keys” (abilities) that open “locks” (areas you can’t access or transverse without the requisite key.) I agree Dead Cells’ final boss is tough as any on here, but I suspect it was excluded for the same reason I would exclude it. Side note- the same argument would go for Hades from Hades once you get to 64 heat on the Pact of Punishment.

@DelProv 4 месяца назад

@@chloemchll3774You do collect abilities in Dead Cells which allow you to access new areas, though, so maybe it would be best considered a roguelike with metroidvania elements?

@CheddahSlammer Месяц назад

Isn't dead Cells a Rouge Like Platformer with Metroidvania elements. While the game has ability gated abilities, the game is less about exploration and more about getting better gear and getting to that next boss to beat.

@e.mcallister2444 Месяц назад

@@CheddahSlammer If we're being very picky about definitions, sure, it doesn't belong here. I personally consider a Metroidvania roguelike to be in both genres (they literally just got a Castlevania DLC), but if it's got to be one or the other, makes sense to leave it out. Also a tad personally biased; I like tremendously difficult final bosses that are very, very hard to reach.

@mdegast 4 месяца назад

Eviterno's 2nd phase made me give up on Blasphemous II, also did Zangetsu for Bloodstained (2nd fight), I just can't keep up with their fast movesets. Other bosses that should be on this list (and I managed to beat) are Medeya from The Last Faith, Black Virtue, Sserthris or Dan'nuhrr from Elderand or the NG+ boss; Dreamborn Terror from GRIME.

@PerritoGG 4 месяца назад

Use Sarmiento and Centella for the fight, the second hit from his 3-hit combo is parryable and you can smack the hell outta him. When he loses his mind and starts with the AoE attacks, just run in a direction and don't dash instantly after he appears, just wait a few steps before dashing and he won't hit you. I killed him on the 4th or 5th try in my first playthrough, I was lucky to choose S&C as my first option 😋

@N_Tertainment7 4 месяца назад

Eviterno is honestly vastly overhyped on his difficulty, he's fast but you can literally just slide for most of his attacks, and he has no contact damage making him very forgiving for a Blasphemous boss, I personally found Odon much harder in B2, and Isidora as the hardest overall in the Blasphemous series

Shahraman was way tougher than Menolias - The Lost Crown

@chloemchll3774 4 месяца назад

Menolias is there I think because his fight represents what is likely to be the first difficulty spike (and arguably the largest jump in difficulty) in the game. I cruised up to his fight and then was stuck on it for a bit until I figured out how to deal with his attacks and deal some damage while I’m at it. It is definitely not the hardest fight in the game, as several later fights force you to really use all the movement and combat skills you get throughout the whole game.

@dude071297 Месяц назад

I dunno, I felt Menolias was still the hardest fight even after finishing the game. The major bosses before him weren't a big deal (Forest Queen, Azhada, Orod) and the bosses after were as tough as Menolias, but as they're later in the game, you're better, so they go down easier. I think after Menolias, Darius and Vahram are the only bosses I even lost to, and fewer times than I lost to Menolias. YMMV, of course.

Unpopular opinion: Raven Beak is easy (except for on Dread mode).

@fire-man7866 2 месяца назад

I just managed to beat the radiance and do the "dream no more" ending but i can say she is like 10% from NGK

@dude071297 Месяц назад

That's because you beat Radiance, not Absolute Radiance, which is a tougher version of Radiance that's in Hollow Knight's DLC. Radiance is free, Absolute Radiance is hell on Earth.

@buusinhojr.9555 3 месяца назад

I don’t know why, but Absolute Radiance wasn’t that hard to me… it still took me 9 tries or something to beat it but hey, it took me less tries. I would say that Nightmare King Grimm is harder considering he’s faster, harder to hit, shoots fire from the ground, and does 2 masks of damage on ANYTHING. You have the SLIGHTEST PHYSICAL INTERACTION with him and get 2 masks of damage.
