- When it comes to hardest final bosses in video games, these villains stand taller than the rest. For this list, we’ll be looking at the toughest boss fights that are the last in the main stories of their respective games. That means we won't be including post-game bosses or those from DLC. Since many of these bosses are story important, some spoilers lie ahead. Our countdown of the hardest final bosses in video games includes Raven Beak from “Metroid Dread” (2021), Sans from “Undertale” (2015), Shadow Queen from “Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door” (2004), Wily Capsule from “Mega Man 7” (1995), and more! If there’s a brutal last boss we’ve left off, share your experience in the comments!

Zuk at the end of OSRS's Inferno
Honorable mention king dice I literally a new game on cuphead and now I’m getting better at cuphead.
Imo radagon was the hardest final boss in gaming history. Second is Isshin sword saint or demon of hatred.
God of War, Bayonetta, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy XVI. Forgetting these franchises now that's just stupid.
I’m not surprised Senator Armstrong is on this list, he played college ball y’know
It's because of his nanomachines, son
At some cushy Ivy League school!
Try "University of Texas"
@@7heart476could’ve joined the navy
He is at 13:36
For me, Isshin was easier than expected, especially during the spear and the lightning phase. I struggled more with Demon of Hatred, but literally just remembering when you can attack and which side to strafe makes every fight easier, and of course, memorizing attack patterns
So using the same strategy since the beginning of video game bosses is your secret?
cant beat demon of hatred to this day, and i love it
F*** demon of hatred. That boss was absolute monkey aids.
It’s phase two, that’s really difficult. As I mastered the lightning attack pretty fast, it was all about getting him to that phase. Nowadays I usually first try him easily, as the possibility to fight him just randomly makes it easy to learn him. Therefore I’d rate slave knight Gael,higher than Isshin
I unironically struggled with regular Isshin from the Shura ending more than SS Isshin
15:30 Vergil's voice echoes over the next pick 🥶😳
In Zelda The Minsh Cap, Vaati was a huge difficulty spike.
I Thought It Was A Pretty Fun Fight …………….
I never could beat it as a kid.
The Nameless Puppet from Lies of P DEFINITELY deserves a spot on this list, gosh that was brutal!
Definitely!
100% agree! I think he was way harder than Radagon and Isshin, those 2 only took me a couple tries. Nameless puppet is absolutely brutal.
@jeffholweg3171 lol Nameless puppet was a joke compared to isshin for me. In fact lies of P as a whole was easy compared to fromsoft games.
honestly is very easy to cheese that boss
@@forwardmoving8252 agreed, it was a pretty tough game, but none of the bosses took me more than 10 tries. can't say the same for pretty much any fromsoft game.
Isshin is probably the hardest final boss I've beaten. Another (not mentioned in the video) that comes to mind is Dracula from Castlevania: Dracula X (1995). This particular fight was primarily difficult because of the horribly designed arena, which consisted of narrow columns over bottomless pits. This meant that if you got hit by any of Dracula's attacks, you'd be knocked into one of the gaps and insta-killed unless you were crouched at the time. The first phase wasn't too bad as long as you were patient and didn't get greedy, but his second demonic phase is much tougher because he's more aggressive.
Dark Fact from Ys I (1987) is also very difficult because you either kill him quickly or he'll annihilate you. He zooms around the arena like a DVD screen-saver, firing projectiles at you, and each time you damage him it destroys the part of the arena you were just standing on. If you're not careful, you can end up trapped in a corner of the arena, which is certain death.
Finally, I'll give a shout-out to Minax from Ultima II: The Revenge of the Enchantress (1982). That fight can be infuriating because each time you damage her, she teleports to the opposite end of her castle, forcing you to track her down. If that's not bad enough, her Balrons are constantly attacking you the entire time, and Time Stops are paramount to putting some space between you and them. Ideally, you can cause them to get stuck in one of the chambers in the middle of the castle, but, even then, you still have to deal with Minax pelting you with spells.
I defeated Isshin(shura ending) and Isshin(Severing Immortality ending) in a couple of tries. My hardest has to be the Demon of Hatred. That 🦧 was way too hard.
@@Mr.Arcade10 I definitely agree with Demon of Hatred being the toughest, as that was the most difficult FromSoft boss I've beaten to date. As far as final bosses go, though, Sword Saint was probably the toughest for me. Honestly, a lot of the hardest bosses I've beaten aren't final bosses: Nightmare King Grimm from Hollow Knight, Sisyphus Prime from Ultrakill, Sendai from Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, Sigrun from God of War (2018), etc.
Isshin took me like a 2,5 hours, but I'm glad because I learned him and now I'm able to kill him hitless on NG+7. Isshin is the best boss I've ever beaten and I still fight him every once in a while.
@@_AlbertWesker_ Yeah, Isshin has a very well-designed boss fight that builds on everything you've learned over the course of the game and becomes significantly easier once you learn his patterns.
the final battle with Vergil in DMC3 ALMOST made me lose my sanity back then, and still to this day, I can't beat it on the first attempt...
I had to switch difficulty to beat him
Same
It was tough as Dante, took me many tries to finally beat him.
Fighting him as Vergil though (sits on a plastic chair) that is a different story...
before the final confrontation with Vergil, there's also the Arkham one, which is so damn hard for the first time, and when you get to the 2nd phase, Vergil helps you beat his blobby cheeks, but in exchange of your style button...and that's what made that bossfight so hard, imo
In some games, the camera is the hardest boss to fight
Ahem* Fromsoft dragon fights lol
nameless king first phase is camera torture
@@applygoo6861just don't lock on lol.
@@cmwa5608 i know now but damn it took me way longer to come to that conclusion than it shouldve 😭
The Devil from Cuphead was the hardest final boss I've ever played and the fact i keep dying during the game all the time
Beating him was satisfying.
Who doesn't to be honest. Even the first levels are tough
Dr. Kahl's Robot was worse
@@Im_leavingThe frog level was too hard in my first playthrough.
I thought king dice was hard as hell
Amazing video mojo plays of the hardest bosses in video games ever,fantastic job.
The fear you get from Nyx Charming a party member and having them attack you is NOTHING compared to the sheer terror of your Charmed party member opting to just fully heal Nyx instead, lol.
Beating isshin was so satisfying omg
I was literally shaking after i beat Isshin the first time. Took me almost 2 months and that says a lot. Hardest boss i ever faced in decades playing videogames. Radagon is difficult too, but after beating Malenia solo, melee, no spells, bell or ashes he was not that tough. But still a very challenging boss.
Armstrong is insane too. When i see Isshin and Armstrong in the same thumbnail i know the list is good 😂
Honestly. When I got to him the first time, I just felt like I couldn't beat him. I wasn't talented enough. I missed too many skills. Didn't master enough. So what did I do? I restarted the game. That's how hard I felt he was. So I completely understand.
@@CrazeeAdam beating Isshin is the proof that you learned how to play Sekiro. You won't beat him if you don't mastered the game mechanics. Simple as that. Before Sekiro i already had got the platinum trophies in almost every fromsoftware souls like (except dark souls 3), and still this game kicked my ass. Nothing could prepare me for this. The game is full of difficult bosses like owl father and the guardian ape. I'm very proud to own the Sekiro platinum.
@@BigBossBr4z1ltook me a long time but I eventually beat Isshin. There are 3 straw hat enemies w/ spears you encounter at the temple grounds, I could never manage to beat those guys
As someone who’s beaten the game twice, Isshin is probably harder on the bad ending, he can literally dodge your attacks and he gets fire based attacks on his second phase and the boss before him is much tougher than Genichiro is in the good ending
@@tuttiman55 i got the platinum trophy years ago. Beat the game 3 or 4 times (can't remember right now). Emma is tough, but i find this version of Isshin easier than the other one. Some of his attacks are easy to dodge, specially the flames. The sword saint using that spear, thunder and even a effing gun is brutal.
Radagon didn't have to be that overwhelming. If a person did the side dungeons and extra things on the map along the way (there are a lot of them), by the time you get to him your character is really juiced and you have some leeway in the battle.
True, he was a mid diff boss. There are insanely hard bosses in Elden Ring depending on your build and at which level you encounter them.
Isshin took me soooo many tries before I finally beat him, one of the most satisfying victories ever!!!
Isshin is the peak "one mistake you die" phrase. you literally cannot make mistake against him especially in his second phase or else you'll meet Genichiro again lmao. Isshin taught me how to do a no damage fight in any FromSoftware games I've touched. he's the hardest final boss ever but he's the funnest one as well.
proud to beat isshin ashina on charmless NG+9. probably my greatest achievement in gaming.
savo from midnight club 2 was so hard to defeat even with a good car and give me many nightmares of not sleeping in many days
Octopath, Nioh 2, Metal Gear Revengeance and Sekiro mentioned. Good list
Ninja Gaiden's final boss on the NES is simply impossible
Senator Armstrong is probably Alistair Duncan’s best role
Wow, this channel just popped up on my timeline and I read the bio and it’s some powerful sht 😂, .. I just subscribed by the way
I love how you describe master hand as "a literal glove" when in context it would have made more sense to say taboo "pimp-slapped master hand, who is normally the outright final boss of the series." Describing him as a glove kind of reduces the significance of how easily taboo brushes him aside 😂
Demon of hatred is a much harder boss than isshin
100% agree, but the video IS top 20 FINAL bosses!
Armstrong boss fight was hard af
Nanomachines son
Just parry the attacks
*STANDING HERE, I REALIZE*
*YOU ARE JUST LIKE ME, TRYING TO MAKE HISTORY*
@@ThrillerXeroits way more than just parrying
@@BaxterAndLunala BUT WHOSE TO JUDGE THE RIGHT FROM WRONG
Isshin broke me to the core 2 grueling months it took me to get to him. This was my first from software game I beat, once I beat him I deleted the game and cried myself to sleep due to the how much it took from me lol
Radagon and the Elden Beast do not deserve a place in this list at all
Nice! I would see one including dlc too. Dark Souls 3, Nioh 1 and 2, Elden Ring etc are some examples.
I've been playing video games since 1985 and I can say with complete certainty that Cuphead's last boss, "The Devil" is one of the hardest to kill I've seen in years.
Out of all the bosses on this list why Mr. X?
Fr. He wasn't that hard
Anubis from Zone of The Enders: The Second Runner, hardest final boss that I’ve ever beaten (I’ve probably come across harder final bosses that I haven’t beaten). He is easier than he was in the first Zone of the Enders, in that game he can’t even be beaten, you’re supposed to lose.
The therapist from Katana Zero can be stupid hard on his final phase but the other phases before that can still catch you off guard
Senator Armstrong from *Metal Gear Rising Revengeance* is definitely and totally one of THE Most Toughest and Hardest Video Game Bosses I've ever seen
Guy was super easy.I am surprised that he is on the list. Beat him from second time as i did not know how to time that last move. There are tons of FF final bosses which are harderto beat
@@romeolajh1602you lying
@@romeolajh1602 he wasn't insanely hard but he was pretty challenging, he had a ton of health, hit like a truck, and he healed himself. The rocks he throws also one shot you I'm pretty sure
@@Sam-vz8pm the spider robot we fought before was way harder for me
Senator Armstrong was a very memorable fight and challenging one! Nice memories!
Bro the Ball stab against otakemaru, was personal
GD WizPig from Diddy Kong Racing!
i feel no shame not being able to beat the final boss fights in Sekiro and Metroid dread. absolutely brutal.
I went back to sekiro 5 years later after giving up on Isshin, restarted the whole game and did so much better. It clicked so much better the second time.
Nanomachines, son!
Don't fuck with this senator!
I know she's an optional boss, but malenia will remain one of the if not the hardest boss I've ever fought, even after playing elden ring multiple times ... she still broken af
I suppose the CEL 240 IBIS is not really a final boss in Armoured Core 6, but it probably the toughest boss I ever fought in a game. You have to not only beat it, but you also need to avoid having your brain melt through your ears with all the flashing images and how fast it is.
Hades isn’t too bad. His attack patterns are well telegraphed and once you know how to make a strong build, winning against him is easy at least in low heat runs.
Where's GOW Valkyrie Queen? It took me a long while to defeat her
It's more of an optional and post game boss. Baldur is the final boss of GOW 2018
@@HkNigel ok I get it, still hard though
fr
The boss at the end of warrior within was difficult as hell imo
Colonel Radec from Killzone 2 was really hard too... Especially on the Elite difficulty.
God of war 4, the Valkyrie Quinn on new game plus difficulty was my greatest gaming achievement
100% sigrun was insufferable
Not the final boss
Swear y’all did this like 3 times lol but ima still watch
For Senator Armstrong - get in his face, spam your dodge between attacks, and run away for his AoE attacks. You'll cut him down surprisingly quick.
The sword Saint is one of the best bosses in any game, definitely tough fight and his inner Isshin version is even more difficult, no other boss made me work for the kill like he has
Shriek of Ori and the Willof the Wisps, 2nd half of battle is in the air!
Genichiro killed me more than 50 times. Hardest for first playthrough followed by Aivory Action.
Nice argument but there is one small flaw...
You've mentioned the wrong radiance.
While the final boss of Nioh 2 is indeed difficult, ask any Nioh player who the most dreaded boss is, and it'll usually be the transformed Shibata Katsuie. He's arguably tougher and more all out aggressive than Otakemaru.
Devill may cry is finally getting recognition
Due to stop playing PS after 3 and casually playing Switch I’m only familiar with Vergil I replayed that fantastic game so many times I confirmed the best weapons against him are firestorm blades and ice one.
Nyx Avatar is a Classic BadAss Final Boss and 1 of my Favorite of All Time
Finally, Galdera gets recognition.
Where is Vaati from Minish Cap
Armstrong isn't hard. You just gotta know his patterns.
"My nanomachines are the best nanomachines, they are the smartest and most nano nanomachines available, and they are also bigger than anyone else's nanomachines. No other pres- I mean senator has ever had as many or as good nanomachines."
17:44 "Brutal platforming segments" **Proceeds to jump on 3 platforms**
Laxasia the complete and nameless puppet. My top 2. Laxasia alone took me as much time as malenia and isshin combined (4 hours to figure her out)
Lucifer from Dante’s inferno should definitely be on here. That guy gave me hell “no pun intended”
Bar none the most casual list I've ever seen
Yeah Vergil had me standing up and screaming at my tv
I still say Vergil is one of the hardest Bosses Period, also Liquid from MGS1 and Gruntilda from Banjo-Kazooie should have been on this list 😸
Reminds me it's high time I replay ff 9. Still waiting on the remake that was leak a while ago (along with a ff tactics remake).
I am very surprised Gehrman the First Hunter didn't make the list.
The Sword Saint is def worthy of the top spot. Solid list
the top 3 should be FromSoftware bosses. Gehrman, Radagon, and Isshin.
@@TheGamingStorage69420 Orphan way before Gehrman tho Gehrman ain’t hard at all
@@miki49 is Orphan the final boss of the game?
I'd put Nameless puppet is well.
One name : Lucifer from SMT Lucifer's Call (or Nocturne if u want). "Secret" Final Boss. He's so unbelievebly hard that the fight itself is just pure luck 😅
I would add Yiazmat, from FFXII. He has over 50 million HP and it took me 3 days fighting him to end that HP (since his HP is so big you can save mid fight). Also, when at low HP, he buffs and basically one shots characters each turn.
Yeah but if you set your gambits right, you really don't have to do anything
Not the final boss
I’ve only gotten to Hades once and I’ve had the game over two years. Was pumped when I depleted the first health bar and then the second phase started and I was so mad🤣
Radagon is badass as gold
Sifu's final boss broke me...
Finally, WE GOT NYX FROM PERSONA 3, yes its hard as hell, now can't wait how bs will it be for Persona 3 Reload
Yaldabaoth and Izanami having 2-3 phases: We're the toughest Persona bosses
Nyx: *T pose to assert dominance* THE MOMENT MAN DEVOURED THE FRUIT OF KNOWLEDGE HE SEALED HIS FATE. ENTRUSTING HIS FATE TO THE CARDS, MAN CLINGS TO A DIM HOPE. Yet the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
Also 13 phases-
No Nameless Puppet from Lies of p or Annihilation from Remnant 2?
Last bosses in Kingdom Hearts Birth by sleep (psp) & The world ends with you (nin ds) are very hard. Final form of the final boss in Hard Corps:Uprising (ps3) is also completely brutal.
I've beaten 9 of these guys... Sword Saint is definitely #1.
It took me over 6 hours and my neighbors heard me swearing.
I noticed that Hades is called the god of the dead in the Hades game. That isn't correct. Hades is the god of the underworld, not the dead. That would be Thanatos. There is a difference.
Samuel Hayden Seraphim Boss from Doom Eternal ancient gods part 1 was also one of the toughest final boss to beat on a higher difficulty level.
The Shadow Queen was a pushover, but I always completed the final boss battle.
Yeah, especially if you stack, Power Rush Badges, Close Call Badges, and set yourself to have max HP as 5
I think some of their choices are questionable.
Using attacks that linger also work, like Fire Drive
9:29
Oh my 🫢
Absolute Radiance from the Pantheon of Hallownest in Hollow Knight was one of the hardest accomplishments in gaming I’ve ever done
Queen of valkyries from GOW 4 was a mention id have expected.
Not the final boss
Final boss of Shinobi for ps2 should be on this list
I just beat Isshin 2 days ago. It took over 50 tries to nail it
Jun Kazama/Unknown Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (2012) Still haven't beat her I've tried but I still got my butt kicked
Saddler from RE4R is infinitely harder than Mr.X. In fact, out of my 20 playthroughs, I only bothered beating him legit once. The other 19 times I used a rocket launcher. And assuming you play on the highest difficulty, Nemesis at the end of RE3R is the hardest boss fight in Resident Evil history.
I start feeling a lot better about myself when I struggled on these bosses, I wasn't going crazy 🤣🤣
Tons of hard final bosses
Hm, how very interesting, i wonder what could be added?
That lady with lightning on Lies of P should be in here. She was the hardest boss in the game
agreed, but they're going for hardest final boss. I think the nameless puppet was harder
The death egg in sonic 2 and sonic 3 and knuckles
Surprised our boy Fatalis didn’t get mentioned 😢
Had way more trouble with Radagon and Elden Beast. Took forever to beat them but beat Isshin on my first try.
Vergil Devil May Cry 3
Hades, RE 2, Persona 3, MGR, DMC3, Hollow Knight, Elden Ring, and Sekiro. They were all phenomenal final bosses though I'm surprised Radagon was number two as he wasn't really that difficult. Started Persona 3 Reload and I can't wait to take on Nyx again, it was such a fun boss
Radagon + Elden beast is a tough fight considering you do them back to back without any pause. Radagon alone prob wouldn't and shouldn't make any hard lists.
ive been stuck on radagon for so long ive beaten ever other remembrance boss
i can say that i feel really proud that i was able to beat isshin, but man it was hard, i fought him for 6 hours straight until i was able to beat him
For me some of the hardest that weren’t on this list was
Pir'Oth Ix from Sonic Chronicles and Murai from Ninja Gaiden Black (since you have to fight 3 bosses in a row from the last shop, including an ass parkour part)
