Top 10 Greatest Metal Gear Bosses


you didn’t think you’d be able to sneak
and choke your way through the whole
game did you the guys you stole my stuff
prototypes are in there with you
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be counting down our picks for the top
10 greatest Metal Gear bosses I’ve been
waiting for you stage for this list
we’re taking a look at the boss battles
from the iconic series and ranking them
on a mixture of popularity fan boats and
our own personal choices this list isn’t
just limited to the Metal Gear Solid
titles alone so be sure to look out for
a few spin-off characters as well oh and
it should go without saying that this
list is bursting at the seams with
spoilers so spoil alert number 10 Sniper
Wolf Metal Gear Solid didn’t you know
that two-thirds of world’s greatest
she may be beautiful but make no mistake
this sharpshooter will snuff the life
out of you with the pull of a trigger
and without a second thought a member of
font town she makes her rather gruesome
introduction by putting a bullet in
Merrell and forcing snake into a battle
on her terms I can see you perfectly
Vermeer I told you I never quit not
after a couple of fierce cipher tools
one of which she probably had to handle
with a Stinger missile she laments her
life and gives us a powerful death scene
one thing’s for sure she was no dog but
a proud wolf
set me free
goodbye number nine Metal Gear Sahul
anthropos Metal Gear Solid 5 the phantom
pain vo today is the day weapons learn
to walk up the metal gears themselves
have always been a highlight of the
series walking tanks with unique designs
and armed with world-ending weaponry
make for some of the best boss battles
out there this latest addition is
definitely no exception a bipedal
monstrosity armed with everything from
flamethrowers rail guns and even a
friggin sword simply put you don’t find
many weapons crazier than this
the sheer scope of his second battle in
particular is incredible and really
shows how epic a boss fight on an open
world map can truly be
number eight liquid snake Metal Gear
Solid Nicollet sibling rivalries don’t
get any bloodier than this much like his
solid counterpart liquid was a clone of
Big Boss who possessed all the skills to
make him the perfect soldier
unfortunately he suffered from a
horrible inferiority complex which led
him to arming the titular Metal Gear
with nuclear weapons and assembling the
Foxhound unit
she stole everything from me oh you did
fine
needless to say the battle against him
atop a burning metal gear racks with
nothing but your fists is an epic boss
fight not to be ignored and damned if
that over-the-top British accent isn’t
hilariously awesome
we have no past no future and even if we
did it wouldn’t be truly ours you and I
are just copies of our father number 7
Metal Gear RAY Metal Gear Solid 4 guns
of the Patriots
players first encountered the Ray back
in the second installment of the series
where it was revealed to be a sleeker
looking Metal Gear supposedly able to
crush its predecessors while it was a
thrill to layer a trio of raised with
Stinger missiles later in the game we
feel its crowning moment comes in guns
of the Patriots where it took on Metal
Gear Rex in a battle that fanboys had
only dreamed of bullets missiles and
mashed metal galore ensures that this
was one hell of a battle it also goes to
show that newer
doesn’t always mean better
number six solidus snake Metal Gear
Solid 2 Sons of Liberty race yourself
you thought there were only two snakes
well say hello to solidus leader of
these Sons of Liberty and the former
President of the United States
this third clone of big boss is the
ultimate freedom fighter as his mission
revolves around the destruction of the
Patriots Dai that control and govern the
entire world is that so that’s not to
say he’s a good guy
anyone who crosses him is a dead man and
he’s not above act of terrorism the fact
that he was also the one who adopted
protagonists riding when he was a child
soldier adds that extra edge that made
him an iconic male here boss you know
this fellow you remember me don’t you
you’ve grown high concentration of
cerebral implants have they altered your
memory to number five the end Metal Gear
Solid 3 Snake Eater do you hear me snake
I am the end while the stylet sniper
known as quiet made a hell of an impact
in the game’s latest installment we had
to go with the older generation a member
of the Cobra unit and hailed as the
father of sniping the end is constantly
bordering on the brink of death due to
being over a century old
let me linger in this world just a
little longer he’s often regarded as one
of the most clever boss battles in
gaming history and it’s not hard to see
why he can heal himself via
photosynthesis snipe from anywhere at
any time hide from thermal imaging you
name it he can do it however those who
are patient with this fight know that
time is the one thing that isn’t on the
inside
pager I found the end he’s dead what the
hell happened maybe it was from old age
number four liquid Ocelot Metal Gear
Solid four guns of the Patriots revolver
ocelot and liquid snake are two of the
greatest villains to ever step into the
Metal Gear franchise so imagine our
surprise when the two of them physically
and mentally became one thing what’s
unique about this fight is that not only
is it an emotional and raw climax but
how a nostalgic the gameplay is as well
the battle has four stages to it each
mirroring the styles of the previous
games mechanics included yet if you
aren’t a fan of the revelations and plot
twists post fight there’s no denying
liquid Ocelot was truly worthy of being
called snake’s equal this is only a
beginning snake number three Steven
Armstrong Metal Gear Rising revengeance
well if it isn’t saucy jack
just a little too late as usual
politicians are an easy target when it
comes to billions of video games but
we’re struggling to think of one as
entertaining and as manly as senator
Steven Armstrong all right I think we’re
about done here
Armstrong is the final boss that the
highly successful Metal Gear spin-off
that he’s ridin hacking and slashing his
way to the top of a world ending
conspiracy the Senators motivations may
seem slightly one-dimensional but we
dare you to find a better example of
testosterone-filled insanity be careful
you play football in college play
college ball you know that’s a cushy Ivy
League school ooh number two Psycho
Mantis Metal Gear Solid ah not only is
this gas mask wearing telepath an iconic
Metal Gear antagonist but he also stands
out as one of the defining boss battles
of all time one of the pioneers of
fourth-wall breaking in video games
newcomers were blown away when this
telekinetic read their memory cards
vibrated their controllers caused their
television screens to go haywire and
forced the player to switch controller
slots so he couldn’t predict their
attacks I can see into your mind
like suing a memorable villain in both
aesthetic and function we don’t need to
be psychic to say that Psycho Mantis
won’t be soon forgotten I before we get
to our number one pick here are a few
honorable mentions and kids are cruel
all people are by nature they just lose
touch with it as they get older start
thinking they know Rag wrong fancy
meeting you here you knew I’d come I
suppose I should thank you for not
killing everyone at the launch site well
not if you say it like that it’s just
you and me now I’m going to enjoy this
this is the end of the road for you
right my friends listen
Green number one the boss Metal Gear
Solid 3 snakey gosh you’re a soldier
finish your mission prove your loyalty
no battle has held a greater emotional
impact than that between mentor and
student this would have made the top of
our list purely for the
edge-of-your-seat battle as you
desperately tried out class the boss in
a field filled with beautiful white
flowers while the amazing soundtrack
plays in the background the one who
survives will inherit the title of boss
and the one who inherits the title of
boss while facing existence of endless
battle but then it goes a step further
and gives us one of the most tear
drinking death scenes in all of
videogames where you the player have to
pull the final trigger and then to top
it all off there’s a heartbreaking twist
which we’ve already spoiled on other
lists so we don’t have to do it here
emotionally exhausting on every level
there really is no better Metal Gear
boss than the boss herself do you agree
with our list what’s your favorite Metal
Gear boss yeah pretty clear pretty good
good for more solid top 10s published
