welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 dragon battles in video games for
this list we’ve gathered up some of the
most deadly fire breathers that we’ve
gone up against in video games be warned
that many of these fights are set during
the climax of the games in question so
you’ve been warned
number 10 ancient dragon dragons crown
starting off our list we have the final
boss from this 2d fantasy RPG after
journeying through this action-packed
adventure you’ll make your way to the
illusionary lands where you come
face-to-face with the humongous ancient
dragon you step forth into the
illusionary lands the goddess’s powers
and resurrection of cannot reach to here
everything in this battle is a visually
marvelous experience thanks to the
stellar animation and sheer scope of the
Dragon itself from his fire blasts to
his use of magic to his constant
movement in and out of the background
every detail makes this a real
nail-biter of a finale but hey at least
you don’t have to go it alone
number nine say synthesis The Witcher 2
assassins of Kings protect the king
when it comes to a series about slaying
mythical beasts it’s no surprise that
Geralt of Rivia would find himself
fighting one of these bad boys first
appearing in the game’s prologue this
toothy monster only adds to the mystery
surrounding Geralt quest to prove his
innocence it’s only in the game’s climax
where the dragon reappears now one of
the control of the sorceress Phillipa
the Dragons back in the end Geralt makes
his stand on the top of a tower fighting
the dragon as it flies and crawls around
and breathing fire and taken swipes at
him in true Witcher fashion the Dragons
fate is ultimately left up to you and
the decisions you made beforehand
number eight see the scaleless darksouls
[Music]
while the ancient dragon from Dark Souls
2 and the nameless King from Dark Souls
3 were both valid picks in the end we
felt that the miss shapen seat should be
given this font to represent this much
beloved series though your first
encounter ultimately leads to your death
it’s only during your second meeting
inside the crystal cave that you get
your second win to really show him who’s
boss
while his appearance is very different
from your usual garden-variety dragon he
makes up for his lack of legs with his
devastating crystal breath and
regenerative health it’s only when his
crystal is destroyed that you can turn
the tables on him and add another few
hundred souls to your collection
number seven the Ferelden frostback
Dragon Age Inquisition come on is it
really surprising to see this series on
the list while the Archdemon from the
first game gave us a truly epic climax
we decided to go with another in the
form of the Ferelden frostback located
in the hinterlands this angry mother
starts off by using a mix of fire and
wind to cover her sides as you attack
her limbs after a while she can take off
and summon her dragon legs to overwhelm
you as one of the first fights to really
force you to strategize your whole party
as well as giving you your first taste
of dragon slaying in a game called
dragon age it more than justifies its
spot on this list number six our gerak
The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess
on this epic quest to save the kingdom
of Hyrule from the power of the Twilight
Realm
Lincoln Midna find themselves at the
home of the oka tribe located we up in
the sky in the hopes of finding another
piece of the Twilight Mirror the only
problem is the shard has turned into a
dragon of sorts and is now terrorizing
the city utilizing both his Iron Boots
and his newly upgraded dual clutch shots
the player must do whatever they can to
maneuver around while avoiding the
dragon’s fire so that they can
eventually bring him to his knees it’s
easily a highlight for the game and
maybe even for the whole series
number five gormogon Monster Hunter 4
ultimate
next up we have one of the deadliest
hunts against this game’s flagship
monster what’s special about gourmet
Gala is that it carries what’s known as
the frenzied virus which can leave the
players attack and defense severely
weakened if the infection isn’t treated
the gormogon is also technically blind
but you won’t really notice when he’s
barreling down on you
while it starts out mostly firing dark
projectiles towards you soon enough it
pulls out the big guns by utilizing its
extra limbs so it can crush you into the
ground he’s really quick for a big guy
and the fight is brutal but hey he
didn’t get to be in the opening cutscene
by being a pushover now
number four Glamour bayonetta – it’s a
battle that takes place while surfing
along the side of a giant waterspout
need i say more okay
well out of all the dragons on this list
this angelic design stands out by being
one of the most bizarre with what can
only be described as a dragon wearing
gold jewelry with a human base on its
chest
of course the waterspout section only
turns out to be a warm-up as Bayonetta
eventually finds herself flying through
Paradiso skies fighting three of these
golden dragons at once that is a lot of
bling flying at you
[Music]
number three all the dragons the
elderscrolls v skyrim
good the world of Tamriel is filled with
so many wonderful creatures from
minotaurs to Giants to even a tommy-toms
so it’s really not surprising that
Dragons would turn up at some point the
only question is why it took five games
to get there no signs of any dragon
right now as the main focus of the fifth
entry to the series the Dragons are
arguably Skyrim’s biggest high point
thanks to their mostly random encounters
and the challenge they can put your
character through whether you try your
luck with a bow or go in for a much more
up close and personal approach there’s
sure to be a struggle awaiting you here
number 2 Onyxia world of warcraft while
we could have gone with the humungous
Deathwing from the game’s third
expansion Cataclysm we decided to go
with his daughter on Nikia instead
located in the dustwallow marsh
onyxia slayer was one of the online
games hardest dungeons at the launch due
to all the preparation and involvement
required for you and your 39 other
teammates yep you needed 40 players to
even think about trying this while her
attacks are devastating if you’re not
properly buffed up the real challenge
comes from avoiding getting knocked off
to the side thus awakening her whelps
it’s one of the most tactics heavy boss
fights in the game and still remains one
of the most memorable for players who
tried it many will handle it before we
unveil our top pick here a few honorable
mentions
it is as they say your own
number one Grigory Dragon’s Dogma what
is your purpose here arisen if you saw
to live you had not but run and hide
yourself from way taking the top spot we
have this behemoth from the fantasy
inspired RPG developed by Capcom upon
our first encounter with Grigory he
manages to quite literally steal our
heart leaving our protagonist as an
arisen after a while our hunt lead us to
a temple where he gives us a choice live
forever and lose your love interest or
fight and free the lands from his terror
the decision is yours arisen
now choose going with the ladder you’re
treated to an epic showdown complete
with running fighting shooting and
climbing amounting to a final stand with
you and your pawns it brings together
some of the most epic elements we’ve
seen in other games and leaves you
feeling like the biggest badass in the
room when it’s all over
do you agree with our list what’s your
most heroic dragon-slaying tale whatever
meaning my fold it makes in depth
for more ferocious top 10s published
