00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for this decades toughest final
00:16boss fights so far.
00:18Be warned, spoilers ahead.
00:27Number 10.
00:28Renoir.
00:29Clare Obscure Expedition 33 just came out but it quickly became an instant classic, solidifying
00:47itself as one of the greatest turn-based RPGs of all time.
00:51This is thanks in part to its unique and brutally difficult boss fights.
00:54We're going to overlook the fact that Mael can deal literally millions of damage with
00:58the right build but even then some bosses take real effort.
01:01The final boss, Renoir, is no exception.
01:15He hits like a truck and if you deal enough damage, the axons you fought previously heal
01:19him fully and give shields.
01:21His second form has him summon his family canvas, powering himself up and dealing massive damage
01:26to your party.
01:38Number 9.
01:39Sephiroth Reborn.
01:40Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
01:42Just as worlds unite, so too do they part.
01:49The final boss in the second of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy is quite the spectacle,
01:54and also quite the challenge.
01:56When you reach Sephiroth and the Forgotten Capital, some big stuff goes down that we won't
02:00talk about here, but if you know, you know.
02:02And at this point, how do you not know?
02:17Anyway, it leads to Cloud and the gang facing off against the white-haired heartthrob for
02:21the umpteenth time, fighting through multiple forms in increasingly impressive cinematic encounters.
02:26The Sephiroth Reborn section sees Cloud taking him on one-on-one, which is where the real
02:30challenge begins.
02:32This massive forms attacks take up most of the screen, so you'll have to do your best to
02:36dodge and block strategically to get a chance in to hit.
02:46Number 8.
02:47Raven Beak.
02:48Metroid Dread Metroid Dread was in development hell for years,
03:03but we were finally treated to the newest 2D entry in the beloved series in 2021.
03:07The Nintendo Switch exclusive is one of the most challenging in the entire series, with
03:11borderline horror elements as Samus scrambles to escape the terrifying Emmy robots.
03:16The final boss fight with Raven Beak, however, is easily the hardest part of the game.
03:29Reminiscent of the Sigma fight at the end of Mega Man X, fighting Raven Beak is the ultimate
03:33test of your skills and reflexes.
03:35He moves fast and packs a punch, and his patterns can become somewhat unpredictable as you whittle
03:40away his health.
03:41In his final form, Samus fuses with the Metroid for an epic final confrontation.
03:53Number 7.
03:54Hades.
03:55Hades.
03:56If you wish to have your mortal-colored blood spill once again upon this bed of snow, then
04:01fine.
04:02Let us proceed.
04:03The literal big daddy at the end of Hades is Hades himself.
04:06This groundbreaking roguelike features a ton of difficult boss battles you'll encounter
04:10throughout countless runs, but protagonist Zagreus' father is the toughest of the bunch,
04:14especially as you complete more and more runs and increase heat.
04:26The God of the Underworld can cover the whole screen with massive area-of-effect attacks,
04:30testing your dodging prowess and reflexes.
04:32He also shoots seemingly endless projectiles and attacks with his spear in a sweeping circle,
04:37making it almost impossible to get in close to land your own attacks.
04:40You'll be dashing and blocking for almost the entire fight.
04:43With the right build on later runs, you'll come out on top a bit easier, but that initial
04:47fight is hard as hell.
04:49Pun intended.
04:51Number 6.
05:00Radagon and the Elden Beast
05:02Elden Ring
05:03We all know by now that the most popular and iconic boss from FromSoftware's masterpiece
05:15Elden Ring is Melania Blade of Mickela, but the final main boss Radagon and the subsequent
05:20Elden Beast are nothing to scoff at.
05:22The fight with Radagon is a tough duel where your dodge and parry skills will be put to
05:25the test.
05:32The second phase of this fight is against the Elden Beast, a monstrous eldritch horror that
05:37moves quickly and attacks with heavy swings of its sword.
05:40Dodging is tough, and it'll both dive under the water and fly above you, so knowing how
05:44to maneuver around the arena is the key to victory.
05:57Number 5.
05:58Ozma
05:59The First Berserker, Kazan
06:00Ozma, the Master of Chaos, is a powerful mage and an old friend of our titular hero Kazan.
06:13In this Sekiro-inspired Souls-like, the boss fights throughout are as brutal as you'd
06:18expect, and the final encounter against Ozma is the toughest of them all.
06:27The fight is broken up into three grueling phases, each giving their own unique mechanics
06:31and attack patterns.
06:32The third phase sees Ozma fully transform into his demonic appearance, flying around the
06:36arena and attacking you with his massive sword.
06:38This will likely take you more than a few tries to beat, but once you do, you get to enjoy
06:43an extremely satisfying ending cutscene that's well worth your trouble.
06:57Number 4.
06:58Nameless Puppet
06:59Lies of Pee
07:08The true final boss of the Pinocchio Souls-like Lies of Pee is one of the toughest boss battles
07:12of all time, let alone of the 2020s.
07:14To fight it, simply refuse to give Geppetto your heart at the end of the game.
07:18The first phase is relatively tame, but it's when you finish this part that the Nameless
07:22Puppet breaks free of his strings and is let loose to take you on at full power.
07:33Now dual wielding swords, he moves and attacks significantly faster, easily covers more distance,
07:39and deals incredibly high damage with a single hit.
07:41In typical Souls-like fashion, you'll have to dodge and parry strategically to survive.
07:54Number 3.
07:55Allmind
07:56Fires of Rubicon
07:58The second FromSoftware game on this list, 2023's Armored Core 6 is one of the hardest
08:12entries in the franchise thanks to its bosses, and the Allmind fight at the end of the game
08:17will definitely give you hand cramps.
08:19To experience the true Allmind boss fight, you have to get the other two endings, then
08:23finish New Game++.
08:25Once you do, you're in for the hardest fight in the game.
08:36Allmind comes at you with an overwhelming arsenal of lasers and missiles, moves extremely fast,
08:40and dodges your attacks with ease.
08:42You eventually get an ally in the fight in air, but even then beating this boss is hands
08:47down one of the hardest bosses of the decade.
09:01Number 2.
09:02Gloctopus
09:03Exit the Gungeon
09:06To fight the Gloctopus in Exit the Gungeon, you'll first have to complete two runs with
09:14different Gunjoneers, which is a challenge in itself.
09:18Once you do, a bounty appears in the keep of the Lead Lord, allowing you to face this eight-legged
09:22big bad.
09:29The fight itself will overwhelm you fast, as the boss lives by its namesake quite literally.
09:34Each of its eight tentacles is holding, you guessed it, a gun, and it'll fire at you non-stop.
09:40Being able to dodge and jump at the right time is crucial for surviving its onslaught of bullets,
09:44ricocheting skulls, and missiles.

10:10Number 1.
10:11Luis
10:13ReFantasio
10:14Behold, and I will reveal the secrets still beyond you.
10:21The final encounter against Luis in Metaphor ReFantasio can be a lot less difficult with
10:25dozens of hours of grinding and building out your archetypes accordingly, but in an already
10:30120 hour plus game, we wouldn't fault you for just trying to get through it.
10:34The overall fight is spread over multiple forms with narrative dumps sprinkled in between
10:38encounters, and if you die, you'll have to do all of this over again.
10:47The clever mechanic of targeting a specific mask with the required element during the Destroyer
10:51Charadrius portion makes it crucial for the player to understand the ins and outs of
10:55the game's battle system, and will likely be where you'll meet your demise.
10:59Once you beat it, sit back and enjoy the ending.
11:02You've definitely earned it.
