Final bosses appreciation thread

Final bosses should be the climax of the entire game, making sure your experience ends on a high note. Every game should consider having one, even a game that had no enemies beforehand. This thread is not only to talk about your favorites but also to discuss what makes them so remarkable.

What’s the most novel Boss you’ve fought?

Novel doesn’t necessarily mean “best”, but it means something different in a cool way. For me, no other fight in any game I’ve played sums up that idea more than the “Computer Virus” in Kirby Super Star. The entire fight is a huge homage to classic RPG’s, being a hybrid between console and...

I know i have to defeat this boss, but my heart can't take it

Difficulty in bosses comes in lots of forms, from healing, to lots of deffense, to being too sad you don't want to defeath them...¿Wait what? A boss that you need to kick down, but due to story you know had a rough deal or become a tragic boss, say that dragon that murdered millons, in game is...

Metal Gear Solid 3, anyone else absolutely love The End's boss fight?

On my fourth or fifth replay of MGS 3 and I've really come to appreciate The End, probably one of my favorite bosses in the series and one of my favorite bosses of all time. In a lot of games I like to keep a save right before a moment I really like, in MGS 3 I have saves for: The End's fight...

Why is Twinrova (Ocarina of time) considered such a great boss fight?

I replayed this game recently and I can't stop being confused about this. I've seen this constantly listed as the best boss fight in the game and while I don't think Ocarina of time has particularly great boss battles to begin with, this one felt especially poor even though as I said its often...

Spherical final bosses [potential spoiler]

Either as the regular last boss, the true last boss or even an optional (often post-game) boss, which one do you like and why are they often strange yet interesting to see? I am genuinely interested in them like that one from FFIX, the Kirby ones being often like that or even being one.

Charming bosses that you want to beat up.

I just played Resident Evil Village a second time, and I had a lot fun with the ridiculous bosses. They were adorable but at the same time I wanted to beat them up, so I coming with this idea: Bosses you like because are charming and/or funny, but at the same time you want to beat up.

Yeah apologies for the mixup man, I saw your comment while I was dealing with other stuff on the side, one guy in dms (on two accounts, no less), been pestering me about off-site stuff and I tried explaining we can’t do anything about that but it wasn’t registering I guess, some people have no sense of boundaries. Some people forget theres person behind every screen. It’s been very draining being on this place at all. In any case, I’m glad @Guinea sorted out your report. :)
