I'll tell you what boss gave my wife the most trouble -- the dragon from Spiritfarer. You can't "die" or "lose" or anything, and to anyone who's played ANY platformers it's pretty simple. But watching her "battle" this thing was one of the most nerve-wracking experiences I've ever had.
Wait, do Spiritfarer has the Bossfights? @@niveketihw1897
I'm interested of playing Hollowknight, is there the Hard Boss fights? 😮
@@Leo-pd4fc Not entirely, but there is a section toward the beginning that sort of feels like a boss fight. Big creature several screens large, screen turns dark, menacing urgent-sounding music, patterns to learn and techniques to use. Like I said, you can't actually lose or die but you can take forever to beat it and get frustrated and quit before then -- if you're very very new.
This was literally the first videogame (other than Solitaire and an iPad-based puzzle game) my wife had ever played in her life, so without the decades-long experience playing all kinds of games, it was all new -- and she struggled A LOT. And it was a nail-biter to watch -- will she persevere and beat the boss or will she give up and quit playing either temporarily or permanently? She did end up beating it but it was tense.
Dang, I really thought any radiance 3.0 would make the list
The hardest part about Absolute Radiance is getting to Absolute Radiance.
No, the hardest part is beating Absrad after getting to her (after doing all of P5)
Nah, the hardest part is not choking like hell after 40 minutes of other fights. So much of PoH is just muscle memory and overpowering the hell out of early/mid game bosses until you get to the last set, then it's just a nightmare - Markoth, Zote, Failed Champion, NKG, a tiny breather then Pure Vessel and AbsRad.
@@Centyme no doubt it’s a stupid hard fight. It’s all the more difficult because you can’t just jump back in to it. You have to slog through the entire gauntlet full of hard fights. I can’t count how many runs I lost on nightmare king Grimm just trying to make it to the end.
The worst part of radiance is doing white palace as a requirement. My god I got so infuriated trying to get through there
If you couldn't practice in Godhome it'd be close to impossible
The Lost Crown is crimnally slept on. Such an amazing game.
So glad someone besides me thinks that
Bummer that it's epic games exclusive
I have it on the Nintendo Switch, haven't played it yet, but yes I believe it's an amazing game and the Best 2D Metroidvania and POP Game ever! ❤
@@4kpng it's an ubi game, it isn't an epic exclusive (its not on steam tho)
@@DiuContreras yeah that's what I meant ,it's not on steam.
Absolute Radiance was the end of me in Hollow Knight. I had been trying to clear every boss on Radiant difficulty, and I actually succeeded with every other boss, but I couldn't even beat Absolute Radiance on Ascended difficulty, so Radiant was out of the question.
I was only able to defeat Absolute Radiance 3 times
Only ascended, not even radient. Good luck.
That was a good move. It took me 570 tries to beat it on radiant. I was losing it after the second day of attempts. It hurt even more because I fell off before the final hit on my first attempt at radiant. BTW, the most attempts any other boss took for me was 101 for soul tyrant.
Idk I think that radiant Markoth was way harder than abs rad, bc markoth is just a terrible boss imo, so doing it no hit was kinda hard (took me around 3 hours), while I got radiant on abs rad in around 2 hours, bc its actually a better boss (totally not a perfect one) and if you build yourself right you can make the fight alot easier
Markoth: I'm about to end this man's whole career
As a (casual) dread speedrunner, it was painful seeing the number of wasted missiles in ravenbeak’s 1st phase
I’m no speed runner but I loved Dread so much when it first dropped that I played it like 5-6 times in a row, which I never do with games. I 100%’d hard mode in like 11 hours and was so proud I screen capped it on my Switch and sent it to my phone haha
@@surestrangerelatable,I loved the game so much I %100’d it on every difficulty except rookie mode.i even %100’d the game on dread mode.
When you keep spamming missiles into his shield it decrements the counter till the next parry sequence
@@khaledahmed8242 Samus Returns remastered on the 3DS was pretty good too. Played through and 100%’d that one multiple times also. Assuming you’ve played but if not its a must
No one cares bro
Glad to see Aeterna: Nocits on the list. It's an insanely challenging game.
Definetly the hardest of the genre still.
Beating AbsRad on Radiant difficulty was truly one of the most impressive things I’ve done in video games as a whole, I’m glad that damn moth got on this list.
And somehow Dreamshield was the charm to get me the win.
how was dreamshield the one
dreamshield sucks
@@CarrotMeow3981 Good question, but it got me the win after 2 months of attempts so I am now Dreamshield’s #1 supporter
Dreamsheild is ASS I did this amazing achievement aswell
I consider dreamshield evil as Markoth has TWO of them. Markoth is Markoth.
same, that and a perfect score in wii bowling.
In Ori And The Will Of The Wisps, I found Mora the spider to be more challenging than Shriek (both are still amazing)
Saw the title and said Aeterna Noctis’ Emperor, and last boss of Dread.
But damn was it satisfying to defeat them.
I shouted in triumph when I defeated The Emperor
I didn’t take on the emperor, AN’s final boss was plenty of hassle enough for me
Hardest boss of the list imo. Absrad wasn't that hard in comparasion
Glad to see Order of Ecclesia on this list Shanoa is very underrated.
Agreed! Though Blackmore isnt really what I would call a very hard boss fight. I had way more trouble against Barlowe or Albus when I first fought them.
Blackmore isn't a hard boss fight. I don't know where they got this idea though. It's good to see Castlevania OE right around this part but they picked the wrong boss for their category.
@@therealdeeves I guess they didn't want to add Dracula considering he is the final boss almost every game.
Nightmare King Grimm in Hollow Knight. GOAT
ABS Rad is harder
@@N_Tertainment7he is, doesn’t make him a better fight though
@@trypticon8619 yeah, but this video is about the hardest metroidvania bosses, not best metroidvania bosses
@@N_Tertainment7 the first comment was saying he liked nightmare king, how does that mean he’s saying the boss is Harder than abs rad
@@trypticon8619 my guy, I advise you to look at the title of this video first
I'm so happy that Shriek made the list, she was very tough but once you get the patten down its a super fun fight.
Yeah, the mid air section caught me off guard
Personally, I'd say mora the spider was harder.
Great video made me remember some of these guys falling.
2D Metroidvania is one of my favourite Video Game Category and the Best Metroidvania games in my opinion what I've played are Shovel Knight, Ori games defienitily Will of the Wisps and Prince of Persia the Lost Crown, defienitily Prince of Persia the Lost Crown is the best and the most Greatest 2D Metroidvania action platformer game! 😮😊
Shovel knight is not a metroidvania
Haven't played Hollow Knight have you ?
We’re all forgetting about any radiance, the modded boss fight.
That sign actually is the game, bro. It’s a mod. Plus, I’m willing to bet that there are at least 10 modded bosses in other metroidvanias that are harder. Plus, any radiance 1 is outdated. Try looking up any radiance 2.0, 3.0, or 4.0
@@Mono-.-.-Any Radiance is a completely different boss from Absolute Radiance, and was literally designed to be unbeatable. Only 100 people have beaten Any Radiance. It IS the hardest boss ever.
@@Agent-ym8ke wrong. I find immortal to be harder. I also find chef saltbaker and glumhouse giant from cup head to be harder.
@@Mono-.-.-You’re telling me you’ve gotten farther into the Any Radiance boss fight, something only 100 people have beat, than you have Chef Saltshaker?
@@Agent-ym8ke yes. Hell, even getting to the hard bosses in cuphead is harder than any radiance.
I must say, I’ve seen a few of these bosses because either me or a friend played the respective games. The only one I’ve been able to beat was Menelias from POPTLC, but that was because I had difficulty on everything lowered (I have low vision). I played a few of the other games and never got even close to the encounters in this video.
the final boss of Trash Quest was surprisingly tough
Galamoth from Symphony of the Night deserves to be on this list, as do bosses from Ender Lilies, as each one is a roadblock to progress
But if you have the shield rod+alucard shield combo, you can take care of him quite easily
No one ever mentions Enders lilies. I loved that game. I’m very much looking forward to the sequel.
@@darnellhagood1052 or the ring that instead of taking damage from electric attacks, you gain health, then it's a cakewalk
Ender Lilies is a Hollow Knight ripoff
@@CZcamsknight50 everything is a ripoff of something else. What a dumb pointless comment lol. Things take inspiration from all sorts of various things.
Raven Beak is not her father. He’s just the source of her DNA. He didn’t contribute to her birth
I don’t think MojoPlays are familiar with the Metroid lore. Like I’ve not played every single Metroid game, as the only ones I have played are Metroid 2 Samus Returns, the 3DS remake of Metroid 2 Return of Samus, Metroid Dread, Metroid Federation Force, Metroid Prime Remastered, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and the original Metroid 2 Return of Samus due to the latter three being on Nintendo Switch Online, and even I know the lore of Metroid.
Most of these bosses took me longer than the whole game to beat
Alfred was certainly no picnic, but I had a harder time with Bloodless and 2nd Zangetsu.
Awesome list
It's horrible.
Shriek from *Ori and the Will of the Wisps,* Vahram from *Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown,* Alfred from *Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night* and Raven Beak from *Metroid Dread* are all definitely and totally one of THE Hardest Metroidvania Bosses I've ever faced throughout the years.
I don't know, I found Raven Beak quite easy, his moves are quite predictable
@@MetroidFusion5044 Yeah, I guess Raven Beak isn't actually that hard to beat
Absrad is on a completely different level from those other bosses
@@user-wu7lc9gb6g She is not too bad either , just heavy on the RNG side . I have beaten her with all 4 bindings at the same time dozens of times when I was playing HK daily .
How about Absolute Radiance from HK ?
Witch of the Lake in S&S was an absolute brickwall for me in my first playthrough of the game. Took me weeks to beat that boss. Then for whatever reason, in subsequent playthroughs I've barely struggled with that boss.
Funny enough, my first time fighting the Witch of the Lake in SS was an absolute cake walk. Then every single other playthrough in NG I did after that I got absolutely destroyed by her way too many times.
I think Summum from Worldless deserves a spot here. Hugely underrated game, and insanely skilled combat.
Glad to see la mulana, but it's hard to pinpoint a particular difficult boss, being a game in which losing your way and sequence breaking is the normal. I fought bahamut much later than when you are supposed, so he was a piece of cake. I believe la mulana 2 has hardest bosses too
id like to add Summum from Worldless
Me in Ori when I accidentally used the shard that deflects projectiles and beat Shriek’s final phase in one hit 😮
I don’t remember Shriek being nearly that hard, but that’s just me
a good number of the bosses listed (from the games i played) aren't hard they are actually very easy you just need to know how to use abilities and read attacks something i think these guys lack in ability to do. if you want a boss that's "Hard" play GRIME and fight Dreamborn Terror a superboss with 6 phases and is not slow despite it being a combat metroidvania, the only way i killed the boss on it's last 3 phases was by abusing a ability with a consumable (think of using a healing spell or on an undead enemy)
It's not just you, Shrike was a joke of a boss. But still fun to fight.
I feel like I initially struggled more with Orod my first playthrough of POP TLC
Like Mendolias was a rough fight because he moves so fast but Orod has ridiculous reach with his Anchor Chain things.
I am surprised the final boss from luna night was not on this list.
To my surprise I've actually fought 4 of these, agree with all of them being here. Love the SpongeBob reference.
Fellow Hollow Knight gremlins, am I the only one who thought base Radiance was a push over (like first attempt kind of push over), but spent ages fighting Absolute Radiance?
a particular boss fight in Salt and Sacrifice almost made me break my xbox controller because they have an ability to fill an instant death meter when hitting you with certain attacks. When that meter is full, you either die instantly or your health is massively drained (if you're lucky)
Galamoth or the Zombie Dragons not being the Castlevania pick is wild
Zombie Dragons is the craziest out of a whole litany of crazy difficult Circle of the Moon bosses. I've been stuck at Carmilla in the Advance Collection version for over a year!
Probably because Galamoth is From Sotn, there are sooo many op tactics in that game more than any other metroidvania. Crissagrim, Muramasa, shield buff stacking, beryl circlet, rune sword. Heaven's sword. And lastly Shield rod + alucard shield.
Blackmore? I think he is way easier compared to Eligor or Jiang Shi, but I'm still glad we get to see Order of Ecclesia in a video!
I didn't have a problem with Shriek, that Chozo bastard though...
Galamoth from Symphony of the Night.
The true hardest part of Hollow Knight isn’t AbsRad, but simply that damn Markoth on radiant difficulty
may markoth's ascended arena get deleted from the game
@@SUSSYBOGUSBRABOBUS Amen
i’d say pantheon 5 collector on all bindings is the hardest thing in the game tbh.
@@pilkmaster I just said amen because markoth is more iconic. As someone who has attempted p5AB before collector is the biggest piece of shit I have ever come across in gaming period.
@@ZayanRahman-nm2xg respect, i haven’t tried in like a year but i can’t even get past p3ab
should play grime and fight Dreamborn Terror might make you reconsider putting Raven Beak on the list as his attacks are Childs play to read
Any metroidvania video would be incomplete without some mention of hollow knight.
and it's good like this
Web of Shadows DS. The Symbiote Leader.
The Emperor from Aeterna Noctis was so difficult, he literally crashed my game and corrupted my data which ultimately filtered me. Poof! 70 hours and I didn't beat the game.
That sucks , the Slime Queen and I mutually killed each other and I couldn't get the 100% so I had to play again and make save states just in case . Heck now I have beaten all the Mythic bosses and all the gauntlets even on hard more .
Another one in hollow knight while I am well aware of absolute radiance's difficulty from the other hallow knight dlc come nightmare king grimm the dream version of Grimm and boy if you don't have perfect timing he will eat you alive within seconds to this day beating him is my proudest gaming achievement and it took me so long that I didn't even remember what I needed to do afterwards
Nightmare King was amazing but he was instantly replaced when Pure Vessel arrived.
I've beat Absrad in a handful of attempts. It took me about 3 hours to beat the Emperor of AN haha.
I can think of one you missed, but I don't blame you for not having footage of it. Dead Cells' true final boss on the highest difficulty setting, The Collector. I've beaten Absolute Radiance, and I'm still afraid of that thing. Dead Cells doesn't mess around.
Whether or not Dead Cells is a Metroidvania is a matter of debate (personally, I consider it a roguelike but not a Metroidvania, as part of Metroidvanias are collecting “keys” (abilities) that open “locks” (areas you can’t access or transverse without the requisite key.)
I agree Dead Cells’ final boss is tough as any on here, but I suspect it was excluded for the same reason I would exclude it.
Side note- the same argument would go for Hades from Hades once you get to 64 heat on the Pact of Punishment.
@@chloemchll3774You do collect abilities in Dead Cells which allow you to access new areas, though, so maybe it would be best considered a roguelike with metroidvania elements?
Funny how hard some of these bosses are, and then you put the time in and can then practically do it in ur sleep. I’ve played just about every Castlevania game so many of them are mixed up in my head but there were a few bosses on the handheld games that were ridiculous. The goat head boss in Circle of the Moon and one of the Dracula fights that was on pillars where one hit would knock you off..Among a few others
I beat P5 in hollow knight! and absolute radiance is... well... quite tiring
That giant head in blaspheme 2 for the second ending I still can’t beat. Eviterno was easy compared.
the worst part of absolute radiance is that to get to her you have to beat 40 bosses, and the best part is that in this group of bosses there's also NIGHTMARE KING GRIMM AND THE PURE VESSEL
and if you die to her, you have to beat the 40 bosses (including nightmare king and pure vessel) again
You forgot most unhinged Boss of Castlevania: Death of Ária of sorrow
Eviterno's 2nd phase made me give up on Blasphemous II, also did Zangetsu for Bloodstained (2nd fight), I just can't keep up with their fast movesets. Other bosses that should be on this list (and I managed to beat) are Medeya from The Last Faith, Black Virtue, Sserthris or Dan'nuhrr from Elderand or the NG+ boss; Dreamborn Terror from GRIME.
Use Sarmiento and Centella for the fight, the second hit from his 3-hit combo is parryable and you can smack the hell outta him. When he loses his mind and starts with the AoE attacks, just run in a direction and don't dash instantly after he appears, just wait a few steps before dashing and he won't hit you. I killed him on the 4th or 5th try in my first playthrough, I was lucky to choose S&C as my first option 😋
Eviterno is honestly vastly overhyped on his difficulty, he's fast but you can literally just slide for most of his attacks, and he has no contact damage making him very forgiving for a Blasphemous boss, I personally found Odon much harder in B2, and Isidora as the hardest overall in the Blasphemous series
No list is complete without Dark Demon from Demon’s Crest
For me it was heroic endless in deaths gambit. Crazy thing was thing was that I ended beating her without getting hit in other playthroughs
If you learn when to parry her she becomes much easier , but she was definitely hard on heroic no doubt .
Absolute radiance goes brr
I have an example:
Boost Guardian (Metroid Prime 2)
As much as I want a remake of MP2 to match the MP1 remake, I am not looking forward to doing that fight again.
I can't believe F.IS.T. Forged In Shadow Torch isn't mentioned in this video. That is a GOOD metroidvania styled game.
Don’t forget the final two boss encounters in the tower. It was a nightmare and a half, and I manages to finish them before they added the easier mode. Also, the combo trials almost made me break my controller.
But it was an amazing game. Punishing at times, but loved it a lot.
Im a simple man. I see ori and hollowknight, i watch
understandable
Watching this after playing nine sols and I have to say, true ending Eigong clears all of these (even AbsRad)
Kinda surprised that nothing from GRIME made the list.
What about Omega Zero from Mega Man ZX. I needed many tries for this optional Boss.
Isnt considerado a metroidvania
Have you played it? Its different than the other MegaMan Games it has a interconnected Map, you need the Boss Skills for Exploration to get New Upgrades and uncover Secrets. In my eyes it's a true Metroidvania und many agree with that.
the wasp boss in Axiom Verge 👌
Oh man, I had to consult a guide to figure out that one.
Ukhu is defenitly the hardest axiom boss, I honestly just used voranj because hitting him was a real pain
Mother Brain from the OG Metroid is insanely hard too.
People struggle with Shriek? I only had problems with Kwolok
When I Fought against RavenBeak i forgot how to slide. Easy to say that it Took me more attempts of What it should.
Imagine getting to absolute radiance 💀
Only from popular indie games that SHOULD'VE BEEN MINE!
Galamoth
I would say NKG and Pure Vessel should be 2 and 3 but I understand why you didn’t do that
You do know you’re supposed to throw shriek’s projectiles at her right? That’s the intended strategy and the fastest.
Out of the 3 of these I've beaten (Shriek, Raven Beak & Absolute Radiance) I'd say Absolute Radiance is definitely the hardest.
Absolute Radiance does have some bullshit moments at times with it combining attacks here and there with the beams and the flying swords. If you haven’t beaten it before, you really should save your soul for the 2nd phase to heal before it starts.
The 2nd phase at first glance is very difficult if you chase it constantly but waiting on the bottom platform does make it pretty easy. The balls that follow you constantly hit other platforms while trying to chase.
The hardest part for me is the climb. While it is easily doable without taking damage, you do have to find the right rhythm and if you don’t you could easily get hit by a ray it sends 3 or 4 times. And the final phase is pretty easy. Stay on the left platform and pogo on it three times every time it comes to the middle or the left.
It really is a very tough fight to beat for the first time, especially with it being double damage so a couple mistakes ending your run which is devastating on P5 but once you beat it once or twice, you really get super comfortable with it and the hall of gods really makes that super easy since you can fight it over and over.
Zeus from god of war 3 would have been a funny mention to do
God of War is not a Metroidvania though
@@N_Tertainment7 my bad I got confused, that is a 2d fighter boss fight
Dead cells dracula crying in the corner.
Is no one going to mention Crisanta phase 3 from the Blasphemous DLC?
Bahamut of La-Mulana?
Clearly they never played the sequel as the final boss of La-Mulana 2 wpuld put our fish friend to shame....
As someone who best absolute radiance, I approve
No Grime bosses!? They're almost all very hard...
What about that one modded version of Absolute Radiance that people thought it was impossible to beat. ( Until someone did). I know that its modded and not part of the main game but come on, thats as hard as its getting.
Alfred? Zangetsu II or OD maybe but ALFRED?!?
The hardest boss is the friends we made along the way
Time to add the final boss of Nine Sols to this list🤣🤣
"Hesitation is defeat" ahh bossfight
imagine if absolute radiance had contact damage...
that would just be called bad game design
Shahraman was way tougher than Menolias - The Lost Crown
Menolias is there I think because his fight represents what is likely to be the first difficulty spike (and arguably the largest jump in difficulty) in the game.
I cruised up to his fight and then was stuck on it for a bit until I figured out how to deal with his attacks and deal some damage while I’m at it.
It is definitely not the hardest fight in the game, as several later fights force you to really use all the movement and combat skills you get throughout the whole game.
Julius from ebder lillies definitely deserves a apot here
Julius wasn't even that hard, Ulv was harder
true ending eigong from nine sols - crazy game
Eigong really went "Hesitation is defeat" and proceeded to kick my ass for four hours straight. One of the most fun bosses I've ever fought IMHO
Radiance speedrunners will laugh today
Radiant Markoth
Gremory was much harder than Alfred in blood-stained ritual of the night. Some of his attacks and tactics may have been annoying, but he was not hard.
Absolute Radiance - Just took so many tries to beat
Eviterno - Second phase was so infuriating. I ended up caving and cheesing him with time spell + heavy weapon.
Witch of the Lake - Fuck her. Objectively bad design because beating her was mostly dependent on RNG and not skill.
Nightmare Grimm is harder than all of these except radiance maybe
Interesting list, but I mean, these bosses are more "tough on a first playthrough" than anything, not consistently hard.
Shriek from Ori 2, I took down on my 2nd try with ease; the sandworm chase for me was way, WAY harder, that thing took so many lives with its bs timing.
And I mean, Eviterno from Blasphemous 2? What about Isidora from Blasphemous 1? I'd argue she's much, much tougher to master
Isidora? i think crisanta was harder imo.
@@jesusvera7941 Agree, the only problem with Isidora is that she has a gazillion HP, once you learn her moveset she becomes quite manageable. Crisanta is harder. Eviterno was a cakewalk with Sarmiento and Centella, his 3-hit combo is parryable and you can just eat his HP.
Top 10 easily could be just blasphemous and hollow night bosses
Shriek isnt that hard if you do the ultra bow strat but... Absolute radiance made me almost insanse
Raven Beak was not that bad. I beat him after 3 or 4 tries. I also beat him on hard mode as well.
Actually, just regular Radiance is probably harder than any other boss on the list up to Absolute.
10 hardest soulslike bosses
There’s a ton of that list
Menolias is suuuper easy, just get the void blade amulet and attack from the distance. On the second fase he is fast but almost every time does the same pattern. It won’t be as spectacular but you can beat it without breaking a sweat
I don’t know why, but Absolute Radiance wasn’t that hard to me… it still took me 9 tries or something to beat it but hey, it took me less tries. I would say that Nightmare King Grimm is harder considering he’s faster, harder to hit, shoots fire from the ground, and does 2 masks of damage on ANYTHING. You have the SLIGHTEST PHYSICAL INTERACTION with him and get 2 masks of damage.
