What are some of your favorite final bosses?

Deleted · September 05, 2017, 09:50:17 PM

Yall know how much I fucking complain about Dark Souls 3, but even then, Slave Knight Gael is probably the most fun I've ever had fighting a boss in any game period, solo or co-op. And honestly I do feel bad for complain as much as I do. I know you all are sick of it, but I just feel I have to vent some times.

The Raids in Destiny are all unironicly great too, except for Crota, and the final bosses for them are all some of the best Co-Op segments of any FPS, which is a shame considering how lackluster and uninstpired the rest of the game's level design is.

Mother Brain in Super Metroid is honestly not the best fight mechanically but for what it did in terms of storytelling it earns one of my top spots.

Gwyn from Dark Souls 1, not because of how hard he was (he wasn't), but just the kinda sadness that goes with it

Wind Waker Ganondorf. Guy had a backstory that actually developed and I legit felt for him, and he simply lost all that kept him going at the end (Verb understands~)

Cynthia from Pokemon D/P. One of the few highlights in an otherwise meh game. Amazing music, and one of the hardest, if not the hardest champion in the entire series.

Kefka and Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 6 and 7 respectively. Easily the two best final boss themes in the entire game and the buildup to fighting them feels so great.

Aside mentioned Armstrong and Gwyn, I guess I like Undertale all final bosses on all routes. Thats all what comes to my mind.

Solaris from Sonic '06. Granted, the music does most of the work in that scenario.

The final battle with Ripto waa p. damn lit, yo.

Verbatim · September 06, 2017, 04:12:30 PM

Your rival (Blue/Green) in the original Pokémon games

Not only is it a hell of a fight where you're up against some of the strongest and most OP Pokémon in the game, it's his declaration that he's "the most powerful Pokémon trainer in the world!" before the fight itself that sends chills down my spine. Even though he's your rival, he still beat the Elite 4 before you, and you can't take that away from him—he really is the best, until you beat him.

Another is Majora, but for relatively unorthodox reasons

It's well-known that in Majora's Mask, there are three masks (out of the ~20 that you can get) that transform Link into a Deku Scrub, a Goron, or a Zora. But if you collect all the masks in the game, it gives you access to a fourth transformation mask—the Mask of the Fierce Deity. It can only be worn in boss rooms, and it's essentially used it to curbstomp Majora. It fires powerful and unstoppable beams of energy, and it only takes a few seconds of mashing to slaughter him.

It turns the fight into an absolute cakewalk, but it's just so satisfying after all the shit you were put through in the game.

What do people find sad about Gwyn? Lore-wise he's a supreme cunt who deserves far worse than the smack down that you give him.

Aslo thanks for bringing up Pokemon, I forgot to include Red in Gold and Silver on my list.

I dunno, I thought Necron had the best final boss theme out of them to be honest. Had this really eerie otherwordly feel to it that also gets me pumped up for the final battle against death itself.

Also Kuja >>>

Big Boss · September 06, 2017, 04:54:26 PM

I'll just put this as its own post, I thought FF9 had great final boss(es). I thought Kuja was a great villain, I actually felt kinda bad for him in the end. While Seph and Kefka were cool in their own right, I found Kuja to be much more interesting as a character. I mean how would you feel if you were created as a weapon, then your creator basically trashed you in favor of a newer model? I'd be pissed too, and then on top of that, finding out that you have been packaged with an expiration date just so you'll die quicker? Nah, FUCK THAT MATE, I'm taking you all out with me.

Plus his theme was cool too. Not as grand or as epic finale sounding as One Winged Angel or Dancing Mad, but still awesome as it is.

YouTube

Now Necron... I mean yeah he just kind of showed up, but I guess he was always there, with death itself being an ever present theme throughout. I got such a rush fighting him, from his habit of inflicting every fucking status effect on you to his bizarre and ominous appearance, it all just added up to climactic final boss that was enjoyable as hell. Plus his music was awesome, I usually find myself listening to it.

It's not really "OMG SAD!!!" What I meant is it's just kinda deflating to see someone who was once basically a god (Zeus) and talked about all game, end up just being this husk of a person who's mindless and wandering around. The tone is that of a tragic hero who sacrificed himself to just try and not let things go to shit.

I'm speaking from him perspective, not getting into the lore of it all and all that.

Slave Knight Gale from Dark Souls 3 comes to mind. Great atmosphere, great soundtrack, great fight, and a fitting boss to end the series on.

Gwyn literally ruined everything and doomed mankind to be eternally cursed.

Still a very thematic boss, though.

I was about to ask if that was DLC. To be honest, base game Dark Souls 3 music aside from like 2 or 3 bosses, is just not very good to me. Funnily enough, the best boss themes to me are early in the game and they're Vordt and the Abyss Watchers.

Midir is not a final boss, he's an optional super-boss.

Which I fought last anyway so he was the final boss for me.
