00:00Welcome to Watchmojo and things are about to get massive.
00:19Today we're looking at the numbers on my bathroom scales.
00:25Also we're ranking the top 10 biggest giant bosses in gaming or something.
00:30From big to JESUS CHRIST it's coming right for us.
00:33These monsters are massive.
00:35We are focusing this list on monsters that you can actually fight, so if you're expecting
00:39the Brethren Moons from Dead Space, don't.
00:42Malus, Shadow of the Colossus In a game centred around traversing a vast
01:01empty world ruled by towering giants, it's fitting that one of them ranks among the largest
01:05bosses in video game history.
01:07Nothing quite compares to that moment in Shadow of the Colossus when you know you're going
01:11to face the final colossus, when you expect it to be quite large.
01:14As you climb the mountain and ascend the pillars, you see the glowing eyes of Malus, and the
01:19true size of this behemoth settles in.
01:22It's spine chilling.
01:23Malus stands as the tallest foe, towering more than twice the height of any other upright
01:28colossus in the game.
01:29Despite being low on this particular list of large bosses, Malus' immense size, estimated
01:34at about 65 meters, completely dwarfs players, making the battle feel overwhelmingly daunting.
01:40I'll never forget the words of my brother when we first saw this boss way back in 2005.
01:44He laughed like a maniac and said, oooh, here we go.
01:59Titan, Final Fantasy XV Titan, the Archean of Earth in Final Fantasy
02:23XV is a colossal and ancient astral entity revered for his immense strength and connection
02:29to the land.
02:30Technically, I stole that description from wiki, but if I described him, it would sound
02:33like this.
02:34Titan, the big fella from Final Fantasy XV, is f***ing huge, RUN.
02:38He appears as a towering colossus that from a distance looks absolutely massive, but it's
02:43when you get close that you truly understand his size.
02:46Titan plays a pivotal role in the game's story, particularly during the Trial of Titan.
02:51He does become a useful ally after this, but even then you can't help but think, good lord,
02:56I hope he doesn't turn on me.
02:58His size is staggering.
02:59Estimates suggest he stands several hundred meters tall, making him one of the largest
03:03beings in the game's universe.
03:18Red Eye, Lost Planet 2 Lost Planet 2 is packed with massive boss
03:33encounters but Red Eye takes the crown as the largest.
03:37Admittedly, when you stand Red Eye side by side with the past two entries, it's gonna
03:40look shorter, but it's girth, as well as it's length, stop laughing if you are, is what
03:45makes it far larger than either.
03:47This colossal worm-like creature spans over 300 meters and burrows through the ground
03:52with unnerving speed.
03:53Its grotesque body is covered in hundreds of spikes that aid its rapid underground movement,
03:58and it's jaw is lined with unsettling red eyes, creepy looking for it, perfect targets
04:03for us.
04:04During the second encounter, Red Eye matches the pace of a speeding train, creating an
04:09intense chase.
04:10Fortunately, a railgun is conveniently nearby, giving players the firepower needed to take
04:15down this monstrous behemoth.
04:17It's worth noting the design of this creature is pretty damn cool.
04:20Great work Red Eye.
04:27The Riftworm, Gears of War 2 The Riftworm's first appearance in Gears
04:41of War 2 is among gaming's most unforgettable and terrifying moments.
04:45Revered as gods by the Locust Horde, these immense creatures shaped the Hollow by burrowing
04:50through Serra's crust, creating an underground world teeming with life.
04:54Imagine that, it sounds like the tales of an ancient tribe, except in this world, it's
04:58true.
04:59While as many as three Riftworms are believed to have existed, only one has been encountered
05:02during the Locust War.
05:04This colossal worm estimates at 8-10 miles in length, and ranks among the longest creatures
05:10in gaming history.
05:11Instead of a traditional boss fight, players navigate inside the beast in a gripping sequence
05:15to locate and destroy its heart.
05:17This guy is a real turning point for us, because it's getting difficult to measure sizes now.
05:22So grain of salt and all that.
05:37Laviente Monster Hunter Frontier A franchise teeming with massive creatures,
05:55it takes something truly extraordinary to stand out, and Laviente does just that, stand
06:00out.
06:01In Monster Hunter, where even towering dragons are routine foes, hunters earn their victories
06:05by methodically breaking down colossal beasts.
06:08I for one have been playing this series since the first entry on the PS2, and I was still
06:12blown away by the Laviente.
06:14Laviente is on another level, classified as a Wyvern, this serpent-like monster inhabits
06:19an isolated island.
06:20Despite its wings, it's more inclined to burrow underground than take to the skies.
06:25Measuring over 400 meters, its height stands high above even the Riftworm.
06:29Even with its limited length, Laviente ranks as one of the largest creatures ever fought
06:33in a video game, which is why it's on this list.
06:36Also, don't know if it's Laviente, don't know if it's Raviente, don't know if it's Lavient.
06:40Either way, big boy.
06:50Kronos God of War 3
07:03When you're fighting a giant monster, you either want to be matching size, or have some
07:07massive weaponry.
07:08Outside of those options, you're going to feel pretty overwhelmed, oh wait, you can
07:11also be Kratos the God of War.
07:13The God of War franchise, especially its earlier entries, is renowned for pitting Kratos against
07:17gargantuan foes.
07:19God of War 3, often hailed as one of the best hack and slush games of all time, features
07:23one of the largest boss battles in gaming history.
07:26Kronos, the titan leader and father of the Olympians, towers at an estimated 487 meters
07:32tall.
07:33Using Zeus to carry a temple on his back, Kronos once took Kratos three days to scale.
07:38The sheer scale of this battle is staggering, forcing the developers to slightly reduce
07:41Kronos' size to make the encounter feasible.
07:54Adamantoise Final Fantasy XV
08:03Congratulations Final Fantasy XV, you have two entries on this list.
08:07And yes, I was originally sticking to one entry per game, and didn't realise till we
08:10hit this entry that I doubled up, but I can't be buggered changing it, so let's talk Adamantoise.
08:14Adamantoise is a super boss in Final Fantasy XV, encountered during the Lonely Rumblings
08:19in Longwithe hunt.
08:20Defeating this massive creature earns the Tortoise Toppler Achievement Orb trophy, and
08:25let me tell you this, it is not easy.
08:27Cid reveals that Regis once attempted to take down the Adamantoise, but failed to finish
08:31the job.
08:32Occasionally, the Adamantoise drops Adamantoise meat, which can be used to prepare Longwithe's
08:36peak, a potent recipe accessible in the post-game.
08:39It also drops my blood pressure.
08:41Or raises it, whatever is the funnier joke for this moment.
08:56Kalross Mass Effect
09:13Thresher Mors are among the most terrifying creatures in the Mass Effect universe.
09:17These subterranean predators spend their lives relentlessly hunting for their next meal,
09:22which could easily beat any one of us.
09:24Unfortunately for Commander Shepard, only about 30 meters of these beasts are visible
09:27during encounters, as the rest remain buried underground, like the world's scariest iceberg.
09:33Kalross, revered by the Krogan as the mother of all Thresher Mors, is a legendary figure,
09:38allegedly larger, faster and deadlier than her kin, coming in at a whopping 3,000 meters.
09:55Leviathan Starcraft
10:03What I learnt when researching this list is that the name Leviathan might be the most
10:07used name in all of video game boss history, but this Leviathan makes our previous entries
10:12look like sidecars to our mammoth motorbike.
10:15Technically these are organic spaceships, but they are still alive, so it still counts.
10:20Leviathans serve as Zerg's equivalent of a capital ship.
10:23Classified as a Class X Zerg Flyer, they are the largest Zerg units recorded by the Terran
10:28Dominion.
10:29Often described as moon-sized, these colossal creatures measure approximately 11 kilometers
10:35in length, according to the Dominion records.
10:37Other online records put this bad boy at 6 kilometers, regardless, god damn massive.
10:41Gongyang Weizen, Asura's Wrath
11:11Asura's Wrath pushed the boundaries of scale in video games, featuring a battle of unprecedented
11:24proportions.
11:25In this iconic encounter, Asura faces Weizen, whose size escalates throughout the fight.
11:31Initially compared to Asura, Weizen's frustration fuels his transformation into his ultimate
11:36god-like form, Gongyang Weizen, a being so massive he rivals the size of a planet.
11:43If my frustration could fuel transformation, I'd be the size of the goddamn Milky Way.
11:46Floating in space, Weizen attempts to crush Asura, and potentially the entire world, with
11:51a single finger.
11:52However, in a testament to Asura's unmatched strength and determination, he manages to
11:56stop this colossal attack, creating one of the most unforgettable moments in gaming history.
12:01Epic, massive, and at the top of our list, great work Asura.
