00:10Welcome to MojoPlays, and today we're counting down our picks for the 10 hardest
00:15boss battles from licensed video games. Let's do this!

00:35The Mastermind, Scooby-Doo, Night of 100 Frights.
00:39Ah, yes. Soon it will all be mine. My brilliant plan is working perfectly.
00:46All that remains is what? Impossible.
00:49Now, you might be a bit surprised and even thrown off seeing a Scooby-Doo boss on a list of
00:55hardest
00:55bosses. However, my first question to you would be, have you actually faced off against the menacing
01:01Mastermind? If not, please get to the end of Night of 100 Frights and attempt to punish this villain.
01:07It's a grueling battle of attrition in an otherwise pretty laid back game.
01:11The Mastermind's battle is broken up into multiple tricky phases.
01:14The ultimate goal is to damage him, obviously, but doing so is going to mean
01:19defeating hordes of goons, smashing red buttons, and avoiding electric damage.
01:24It might look easy, but I can assure you it is not.
01:35Emperor Zerg, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.
01:44Another multi-phase boss battle here, Emperor Zerg's fight takes a long, long time to fully wrap up,
01:50and it's pretty easy to get fatigued during this hectic gauntlet. The circular boss arena isn't doing
01:56Buzz any favors here, despite being quite large overall. Mostly because Zerg's robotic minions
02:02constantly hone in on you. Projectiles are simply everywhere, meaning you have to dodge out of harm's
02:07way constantly, occasionally getting potshots of your own off on Zerg. It's one heck of a tricky
02:13battle that will test all of Buzz's skills up to that point.
02:24Oogie Boogie all three phases, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Pumpkin King.
02:36It's honestly so cool that the GBA received a full-on Metroidvania Nightmare Before Christmas
02:41game. It's a fantastic licensed affair that will put you in that spooky mood. Anyone who is familiar
02:47with this property already knows the big baddie is none other than Oogie Boogie himself, the king of all
02:53bugs. This creepy bloke is going to take up a good chunk of your time, since you must battle him
02:59across three distinct and punishing phases. From contending with a large bug-like creature he controls,
03:05to a senses demolishing second phase where you can never stay still, to the final showdown in phase
03:11three where Oogie rides atop his literal buggy. It's one heck of a frantic and crazy battle.
03:25Alec Trevelyan, Goldeneye 007.
03:34Oh boy, this one is a real doozy. This final showdown with baddie Trevelyan is going to test
03:40all of Bond's prowess. Contending with seemingly infinite goons, powerful sentry turrets, Trevelyan's
03:46perfect aim, the winding paths of the antenna cradle, the countdown timer, I mean really the
03:51list just seems to go on and on in this battle. Bond's health can whittle down so quickly if you
03:56don't stay nimble and on the offensive, shutting down the antenna and ultimately catching up to Alec
04:01for the sublime coup de gras.
04:15Ranrock Dragon, Hogwarts Legacy
04:24There were honestly quite a few boss battles we easily could have included from the entirety of the
04:29Harry Potter video game pantheon, but for our money at least, it's the final battle against Ranrock
04:34Dragon in Hogwarts Legacy that truly takes the magical cake here. Well, actually more like hardtack
04:40if we are honest. Like many battles on this list, it's broken into multiple phases, with each one
04:46against the nefarious Ranrock getting even tougher. This is because he is infused with the ancient magic
04:51repository's power from beneath Hogwarts Castle. Every dodge needs to count, every spell needs to land,
04:57and every moment sparring with him forces you to keep a level head, wand aimed,
05:02and dead set on stopping this darkness infused villain.
05:13Monster Auk Spider-Man
05:22Instead of a traditional combat focused boss battle, this one is a pure adrenaline pumping and
05:27heart pounding chase sequence against the carnage that is Monster Auk. Spider-Man must swing,
05:33jump, thwip, and zip through a staggering amount of large vents and corridors, overcoming obstacles,
05:38and avoiding the ever approaching Auk. Oh, and yeah, just for fun, you have to do all of this as
05:44a bar
05:44on the right side of the screen fills up before the whole place just gets blown to smithereens.
05:49Many PS1 Spider-Man fans likely noped out of this brutal boss sequence.
06:02Spawn of Ogdo, Star Wars Jedi Survivor
06:12Yes, yes, we know. We know this one is an optional boss, but hey, we definitely still think it's counting
06:17on this list,
06:18because it's absolutely punishing and grueling, mostly because it comes near the start of Kal's
06:23ominous journey. This sort of alien frog-like bile belching behemoth ain't for the faint of heart,
06:30not at all. You'll need plenty of help from BD as you try to tackle this brute. Despite its
06:35lumbering size and its strength, it's also incredibly fast, able to snap and lunge at Kal with ease.
06:41Even when you do keep your distance, its tongue can grab you like easy prey. Best of luck.
06:55Deathstroke Batman Arkham Origins
07:07Gotta love a good ol' mono-e-mono boss fight, am I right? Fighting Deathstroke in Arkham Origins is equally
07:12fun and intense, a true showdown for the ages. Deathstroke is determined to defeat Batman no
07:18matter the cost, with this point being evident in the way he spams his attacks without ever relenting,
07:24giving you, as Batman, little time to breathe or even come up with a new strategy.
07:28Channeling combos and parrying should give you the upper edge, but only barely,
07:32since Deathstroke seems to swap up his moves on the fly,
07:36eventually pulling out a fresh new weapon once Batman breaks his previous one.
07:40Good luck, Caped Crusader, you will most certainly need it here.
07:55The Technodrome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
07:57Heck, even the final battle against Shredder isn't anywhere near as tough as this very fight.
08:03The Turtles have their work cut out for them as they take on this robotic monstrosity.
08:07Between the electric arcs, the myriad goons blasting their way to you to send you to your early demise,
08:13to the fact that you need to constantly stay on the move,
08:16and yeah, it's pretty darn easy to see why this short but relentless fight is on this list.
08:21Smack, smack, and smack away at that large eye atop the structure if you hope to win.
08:36Sephiroth Kingdom Hearts 2
08:37So that's a Keyblade. And I suppose you must be its chosen wielder.
08:43So what if I am?
08:45Yeah, I mean, no surprise here, right? It's freaking Sephiroth.
08:48This guy is an absolute nightmare for Sora to take on.
08:51Sephiroth can completely decimate your health bar with ease, dropping it down to basically zero
08:57unless Sora manages to heal up quickly. His sword attacks are essentially AOE swipes that can quickly
09:03put you on the back foot, no matter how swift and strong that you think your version of Sora is.
09:08Add in the fact that Sora has to fight alone without the help of Goofy or Donald,
09:12and it's no surprise, really. Kingdom Hearts fans are often just scared off by this intimidating boss.
