First, you have to use a cannon the size of a train to breach the outer wall/shell, then, fight your way through a city drowning in its guts, fighting tentacles of itself the entire time, then you either use a laser cannon on a floating battleship that was hijacked by sand pirates, or do a direct assault on the heart, before moving to the core, fighting a battle against time, and winning at the last second by crashing a whole freaking orbital dockyard station DIRECTLY into the three heads of the Over-G

    Devil May Cry 5 is a great game but what's greater is (at least in the Special Edition or if you bought the Vergil DLC) that it's one of those rare games that you unlock the final boss as a playable character and that playable character ends up being much more powerful than the actual boss itself.

    'The Ultimate Being' from 'Parasite Eve' should be on this list. It was the first multi-stage, end game boss battle I had ever encountered. That thing had four forms (or 'evolutions'). Then, after defeating the fourth form, there was yet another section where you had to run from it, and explode the ship, before it caught up to you.
    First time I fought that thing, I remember thinking "You have to be kidding me!" when that fourth form was revealed. Then "Oh, come on!" during that chase sequence. 🤣

    I'm surprised you didn't put *Chakravartin* from Asura's Wrath on this list. He has 5 forms in total, but you only fight 3 of them. And they only get bigger and crazier from then on.

    • @VeritabIlIti

      Yeah but the difference there is that the fight can be really, really frustrating, while most of the ones on this list are punishing but fair. Asura's Wrath is just mean sometimes

    Borderlands Pre-Sequel's Eridian Guardian. The fight doesn't change much but you have to drain his health bar six times. The first phase is normal, the secon phase his attacks are Ice infused, the third is Fire, and I am not sure if the third one was Corrosive or Shock.
    After beating the first, you have to go against him when he becomes giant and smacks the terrain and shocks it. The second time is shock phase where he pulls you up and if you don't pound the ground you will get your shield evaporated. He does the same the final form which is him in Corrosive again with the exception he also pukes toxic waste all over the floor and is better to avoid falling on that as it will likely shred your hp bar

    @Knightess Před rokem +6

    Great list. Just here to point out that I guess you could say Urizen has four forms. Throne Form, where he doesn't even consider you a threat enough to stand up; Tentacle Form, where he stands up because he considers you annoying enough now to use his tentacles on; Shedded Form, where he gets serious and sheds the tentacles because Dante is actually finally a real threat; and Vergil, who is the usual excessive pain in the ass he has always been.

    If there's ever a part 2 of this, I'm sure there are many bosses that transform a lot, but I'd suggest Melbu Frahma from The Legend of Dragoon. Each form represents a period of time and I believe there are four of them.

    Urizen, 3 fights? Try 4 and just for Dante. 8 if you include Nero. Urizen sitting, thrice (2 for Nero). Urizen standing with tentacles about first as Nero then as Dante. Urizen standing without Tentacles, Dante only. Vergil, then Vergil again with Nero. The forms at play here are Urizen sitting, standing with tentacles, standing without tentacles, Vergil, and Vergil in DT.

    You said something that I actually agree with, the final fight against Virgil in DMC5 is the best boss fight of all time. When they clash in the cutscene I screenshotted that and made it my PS5 home screen wallpaper, it remains to this day.
    But if you want to talk about boss transformations, you should have included Bayonetta 2's final boss. There's like 5 levels/forms, and you fight them back to back, with no checkpoints until the third part.

    Geez Kingdom Hearts 2 was so long ago for me that I don't even remember that final boss fight like at all. The only thing that stuck with me was when Sora was trapped and I had to run my slow butt over there as Riku to save him which I failed at so many times ending the fight. That and the first time I killed the boss, I didn't realize I had to button mash for Sora AND Riku so I ended up losing and having to do the whole fight over xD

    Special shoutout to Albert at the end of Mega Man ZX Advent. You get your typical boss rush type deal where you have to fight the 8 main bosses all over again, but with all your transformations unlocked, and it's heavily implied that all of these rematches are actually all just the final boss himself, Albert, transforming into all of them by using the same power you have except stronger. Then he has 2 more forms, a giant robot dragon form and then a much smaller form reminiscent of Iron Man. Totaling out to 10 whole forms you have to fight this guy in.

    Hi for the part two probably Azel from God Hand would be a good candidate. He meets Gene for the first time in the Kilo-Crab of Dr. Ion, where Azel introduces himself as the devil hand. When Gene finishes almost half of his health he Azel forfeits the fight.
    At the final level on the top of the tower of Angra, Gene confronts Azel for the second and final time. In the fight on the half way through Azel unleashes his devil hand.. although it is not a transformation of appearance but it surely a huge upgrade in power.
    Finally when Gene defeats him then Azel finds out that he was the true conduit for Angra and transforms into Satan itself for the third phase.

Then my PS1 memory card went bad completely. Had to mow a bunch of lawns to save up for a new Mad Catz Multiple Card in one. Finally almost 2 months later I was able to defeat him. Can't believe that was soo long ago.

  • @nesoukkefka1741
    @nesoukkefka1741 Před rokem

    All I say is.... Psaro in Dragon Quest IV that guy has 7 FORMS (well technically more phase than forms per say) :
    -Base form
    -One Arm
    -Disarmed
    -Body change (change colord and a face grow on the remnant of his body)
    -New Arms
    -New Legs
    -Second Head
    You may technically count this as 2 forms with the first 3 phases being you destroying the first form little by little and the 4 remaining phases being the second form slowly getting create, but each phases has it's own health bar and moves.
    And for Dragon Quest series we can also mention Orgodemir from Dragon Quest VII who has 4 forms (and this time they are proper forms) in total.
