Video gaming has been gaining in popularity over the last few decades and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop anytime soon. More and more people are becoming aware of the joys of sitting down on your couch with a controller in hand and just playing through a lovely story. Some other people still don’t care for the story at all and just want to be challenged with hard bosses.
Luckily gaming has seen a huge amount of difficult bosses. While there’s probably a video of someone beating each of these with just Donkey Kong bongos as a controller, here’s a few bosses that’ll probably trip you up a few times.
Necron – Final Fantasy IX (2000)
Usually Final Fantasy games aren’t that hard, especially when it comes to their last boss. By then you’ve often overleveled so much and have all the best weapons that there’s not much challenge the boss could throw at you. Heck, some FF games even turn the final boss into a huge set piece where you can’t even lose. The Necron fight in the ninth game though – that’s a rough one.
The Radiance – Hollow Knight (2017)
Hollow Knight is known as one of the hardest platformers and if you want to know why, just look at the last boss. The fight leaves so little room for error and has you constantly dodging attacks as you hope to get a few slashes in. This will definitely make your palms sweaty.
Isshin The Sword Saint – Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (2019)
This entire game could be on this list but since we’re only doing final bosses, we’ll just stick to Isshin. Even if you’ve somehow gotten used to the parry-heavy combat of Sekiro, facing off against Isshin is going to be no walk in the park. He attacks with a sword, a halberd, a gun, lightning, jump attacks, … You name it.
