these are the best of the best when it
comes to the biggest and baddest welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
finishing off our series of the best
video game boss battles with our
definitive list featuring the best of
all time in case you haven’t been
following along we’ve been counting down
the best boss battles of the 80s 90s
2000s and 2010’s in separate videos now
that those are out of the way we’re
taking a look at you made the cut on
those lists and whittling it down to the
very best of all time in order to make
it onto this list a boss battle will
have had to placed very high earlier on
in the series but if you think
something’s missing here be sure to
check out those videos to see if your
favorites still made the top ten in
their respective decades I was tasked by
the gods to kill Harry number 10
Chronos God of War three we’ve seen
villains that can claim to be larger
than life but none can even hope to come
close to this Titan literally he’s a
Titan
serving is both a boss fight and a
living level kratos not only has to cut
his way through hordes of smaller
enemies but also has to try to bring
down the most you mungus creature in all
the Greek mythology I will make you into
a bogey sting the ever-shifting layout
not only keeps the tension high but also
shows just how insignificant you are
compared to the father of the gods which
only makes the final QuickTime event all
the more rewarding as you grant him a
rather gruesome death
number nine Dracula Castlevania
every villain has his beginning and
while his later appearances in the
franchise arguably packed more of a
punch
Dracula’s first clash with Simon Belmont
in the original Castlevania is still a
classic boss battle worthy of praise
able to teleport across the screen and
continuously cast Hellfire players would
find themselves frantically using the
whip like there was no tomorrow
later assuming a more demonic form
Dracula would rain down fire from above
and try to pin players in a corner
[Music]
his greatest moments as a boss can be
debated but no one can deny that this
was definitely a great place to start
[Music]
I’m rate Jubilees us the Creator
Bayonetta
who woulda guessed that God would have
turned out to be something of a jerk as
this almighty deity plans to spread
paradises dominion over both earth and
the inferno the only thing standing in
its way is the most kick-ass witch to
ever grace video games
players not only have to avoid being
impaled but they also have to constantly
adapt their strategy as du Bellay is
transforms the environment around them
ranging from lava to ice thunder clouds
and even outer space
of course the crowning moment comes with
the final blow as Bayonetta plays her
trump card and summons the demon Queen
Sheba who then proceeds to punch God so
hard she sends him flying into the Sun
there are no words for how epic that is
[Music]
number seven Virgil Devil May Cry 3
Dante’s awakening this is what they call
us
one of the two sons of the legendary
Dark Knight Sparta
Virgil turned his back on his humanity
unlike his brother Dante pursuing the
power of his demon heritage no matter
the cost
as any true DMC fan will tell you Virgil
is as tough as they come in terms of
challenge and will lay the smackdown on
any unprepared player on multiple
occasions
able to deflect gunfire teleport all
across the stage and even have access to
his own devil trigger should he manage
to catch you in a Jain combo you can
kiss your ass good-bye despite the
difficulty spike the reward of claiming
victory and the bittersweet ending that
comes with it was worth all those
inevitable losses number 6 Ganon The
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
[Music]
in what many considered to be one of the
greatest video games ever created no one
can deny that the final battle against
the villainous Ganondorf more than lived
up to the epic standards that had been
set before hand after activating the
Triforce of power the king of evil is
transformed into a monstrous beast
wielding two gigantic swords and one
hell of a murderous hitch initially
lacking a master sword players had to
rely on their alternative weapons such
as the hammer or big or on sword in
order to keep him at bay before
reclaiming the legendary blade and
finally slaying the dark Beast
although kalach dopes from Skyward Sword
was also a fight for the ages we think
you’ll agree that Ganon is still that
much more legendary number five Mike
Tyson Mike Tyson’s punch-out have you
ever wanted to knock out a former
heavyweight champion well in this
surreal gaming experience you got your
chance as little Mac’s final opponent
Mike Tyson is dead set on a brutal fist
exchange the first 90 seconds of this
fight aren’t infamous due to tyson
launching a series of uppercuts that can
immediately knock you on to the canvas
survive that and you’ll be able to
navigate your way through a series of
lightning jabs and unpredictable blows
until you eventually connect with the
head of your own
[Music]
despite the ridiculousness of actually
fighting Mike Tyson there’s no doubt it
made for the 80s most rewarding boss
battle all right Chris ABB
ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba get up here you grew
up there you go fight come on back in
number four Ornstein and Smough
darksouls no other boss in this
unforgiving franchise has ever come
close to matching the acclaim of this
infamous duo Ornstein is Swift with the
power to unleash lightning charged
projectiles while Smaug is slower but
the breadth and strength of his swings
can easily crush you depending on which
boss you choose to focus your attacks on
first you had better be prepared for the
second phase of the fight as the enemy
that’s left standing will absorb their
fallen comrades abilities
while blood borns Germann is also worthy
of praise for the challenge he provided
the nature of this battle and the
dynamic between the two ensures that the
dragon’s lair and the executioner have
set the bar really high for end to fall
number three Psycho Mantis Metal Gear
Solid it’s useless I told you I can
rejoin every thought
never has breaking the fourth wall left
such a profound effect on video games as
a whole
what can you feel the first member of
the Foxhound unit that snake encounters
on his mission this telepath made it
very clear he was unlike any other boss
that the nineties had ever seen
he wasn’t just able to possess other
characters he was able to possess your
PlayStation
I seem to enjoy able to predict your
movements unless you switch to your
control report even making you think
your television and crashed Psycho
Mantis truly took us on a mind trip the
likes of which many have tried to
replicate but none can really hold a
candle to
[Music]
[Music]
number two Mr Freeze Batman Arkham City
impressive Batman I doubted you would
actually return we already knew that the
Dark Knight had one of the greatest
rogues galleries in Annie media but who
would have thought that one of them
would make for such an exceptional boss
battle I believe I do players found
themselves presented with an unexpected
challenge here as after landing a hit Mr
Freeze made it impossible to repeat that
same move forcing you to switch motifs
and use the environment around you to
break apart his ever adapting power suit
oh whether its stealth takedowns or
using various gadgets you’ll barely find
a moment to breathe as it won’t be long
before Gotham’s coldest villain is hot
on your heels in the end though we never
felt more like the world’s greatest
detective than we did right here please
find Nora she’s all I have left before
we get to our pick with a number-one
boss battle of all time here are a few
honorable mentions
[Music]
ever happy today
[Music]
[Music]
number one avian v Colossus Shadow of
the Colossus every one of the colossi
could take a spot on this list due to
the variety in both environments and
mechanics but ultimately it was v
Colossus that just nudged ahead of the
rest
[Music]
we had just about gotten used to
climbing gigantic beasts and exposing
their multiple weak points both on foot
and atop our loyal steed Argo but that
all got turned on its head when we had
to slay a Colossus midair with the ever
shrinking gripmeter accompanied with
heart-stopping aerodynamics the result
was a boss battle that was as
exhilarating as it was nerve-racking
throw in a pang of guilt for killing
such a marvelous creature and you have
what we believe is the best boss battle
of all time
ten entries is painfully limited when
talking about the great bosses we’ve
overcome throughout the years so be sure
to check out the other videos in this
series to see more after that if you
still think we forgot something
be sure to let us know in the comment
section and for more great videos
published every day be sure to attack
the weak spot on the subscription button
for massive damage
