Oh mojo, how sometimes you get it so wrong, not only is it bad that not even 1 Ninja Gaiden boss was mentioned, you can't even count correctly, when 2000 is to 2024 its 24 years, and you say "hardest each year, meaning there can only be one each year, I'm really starting to think that you guys are so bad that you asked TMZ to help you with content, and they just laughed and gave you all a bunch of sugar high monkeys instead😂😂 #suspensionofdisbelief
@@rexwest4532Yozora is harder than any Dark Souls and Elden Ring boss, I've beaten all of them easy and Yozora took me 80+ tries, same with anyone I know who beat him. Kingdom Hearts should be on this list more it has way harder bosses than the Souls games tbh lmao
if you played both gow and hollow knight, you 'd known sigrun is a cakewalk compared to absolute radiance. Sigrun is hard for casual players. AR is a nightmare for even the best of HK Pros
Agreed, and for 2023, Lu bu from so long fallen dynasty was way harder than laxasia. Also for 2019, I think blade bearer and canonneer from code vein was much harder than isshin
@matteomalerba1952 Do you mean from monster hunter world iceborne fatalis. But the gameplay is slow and that makes it so hard the roll in the game is not serious a roll. Why this game has a suit for become a automatically damage reduction not normally dogde roll it is not normally developed for mhw. You can not compare with two so different games. But I think when fatalis a boss in a soulslike would it be not so hard his attack pattern a not so really hard. But Mhw make it hard with his slow movement. But both game a can not compared with each other there are too different. But I like Mhw but the slow gameplay is not my type with little bit better gameplay I mean more direct is would be better only my opinion.
@@thestarkiller1997 I've seen a guy playing monster hunter world iceborne His really addicted to it even reaching MR999 early on His followers suggest Him to play bloodborne his first ever souls game He quickly beats it clearing content dlc included later on He takes on several souls game He beats out sword saint Isshin not even lasting an hour in His first encounter later on when Fatalis drops on MHWIB He got wreck quite literally from morning until midnight He fights the dragon all day no break all sorts of curses runs out from His mouth, the next day He finally overcame Fatalis, He says it's just skill issue if you find it hard in monster hunter not like in the souls game they provide you that with that autolock mechanic that tracks your opponent all you have to do is sidestep or rollover side to side, forward/backward and your attack will automatically lunge towards your target wherein the monster hunter you'll have to predict and analyze where your attack will land His using the Greatsword in monster hunter
@zandatsu5345 I don't say Fatalis is hard, but the slow pacing makes him hard series. A friend of mine plays the complete game only with Canon bow how the weapon names is I tried one time on Fatalis he was seriesly not really hard for me but I say for other is he hard but he is the slow game makes it hard but I say like the game but it need a better directed Contols not so cluncky. I hate this cluckyness in the game, but like the combat with long Katana or with Hammer. And your friend has talent for harder games, but bloodborne is not hard but a masterpiece. Thx for the explanation. But i think midir and Namesless King are not really hard. Ds3 i mean. I forgot the lock on the mechanic is really not heavy to play without it. I play a lot dmc in many fight situations. I switch with on and off many times but is not lock on like souls game is with R1 on pad you must hold it when don't use the button you has no lock. But thanks.
Don't forget. On Final Fantasy XII on the PS2 in America, the boss fight Yiazamat (I think I spelled that right) that had like 6 or 7 million health and all your characters can only do 9999 damage because the English version of Final Fantasy XII didn't have the damage limit break. So I saw it took gamers on average 4-6 hours to beat it. Final Fantasy XII was awesome on the PS2 way back in the day. But Yiazamat. That was a grind and a half.
I was coming on here for this too. It literally takes hours to beat this guy and the status effects he could put on you were so frustrating. Great game.
Fatalis is easily one of the hardest bosses in history while being one of the fairest of all, not even mr999 hunters could lower their guards for 1 second against him
Where is Monster Hunter in general? MHGU was released in the west in 2018, yet somehow Nameless King earns that spot? Bloodbath Diablos is way harder. This channel is just a massive glaze fest for Fromsoftware when ever it’s a difficulty tier list.
Its because people don't realize how hard they are. All they know is fromsoftware makes hard bosses and they never realize Yozora and Lingering Will are harder than 99.9% of bosses
@@itsblademaster9019 Lingering will was 2007, so it'd be against Zeus from God of War 2, and Yozora was 2020 so it was against Tyrant from RE2 so your souls argument doesn't fit. However People have pointed out that RE2 was actually from 2019. So that's a mistake on Watchmojo's part.
@@GreatQuestionFran I meant more so as a general statement for when hardest bosses come up. But also those are definitely still both harder in their respective years lol
13:03 i still remember doing this one SOLO! I tried to make people join me to fight him for hours! but stil could not win! some players even just left! some even just were trolling around! But after many MANY tries i beat him on my own!
For me the biggest challenge of 2024 was Eigong, the last boss in Nine Sols. Just like in Sekiro you needed a ridiculously huge patience and sense of timing to not screw yourself in 1-2 hits. To spice things up a true ending route also had an additional boss stage where some attacks were totally unparryable, but without prior knowledge you had to die and repeat previous 2 stages from a beginning :D
Yozora from kingdom hearts is definitely the hardest boss fight in gaming for me, he is harder than all these bosses mentioned. He took me about 40ish hours to finally beat.
Finally a gamer of culture 🙏🏻 I couldn’t agree more. Consort Radahn, Sigrun, Isshin… I’ve beat them all, but Yozora took me literally a full week to take down 💀
Skyrim is amazing. When it comes to it, I have played it on the Xbox 360 and PS3. But if I were to get it on the switch, it whould be 3 times. When ever I did my Xbox and PS3 playthrough. I remember having high levels and great weapons.
I remember gogandantes the sword Master from onimusha 2 being a pain, same with the white gold tower adjudicator in eso, party members could never pick locks fast enough.
If MMORPG bosses count, I'd say Mythic Jaina was the worst to fight on account of how she'd spam a 2 minute stun move that results in an instant kill move, and the attack can't be negated.
Sorry but Midir isnt harder than Fatalis from Monster Hunter World Iceborne. Calling Midir the hardest dragon boss in all gaming is a disrespect to the true black dragon.
@@sakuranohana1014Exactly but these videos really never have anything about it. They might have Fatalis once in a blue moon, but they never have the deviants, or 140 apexes or even the lv 300 risen elders.
I agree with some of the stuff in the lists. Here are my own personal challenging experiences playing some games: 1) Pretty sure elizabeth is way harder than nyx, needed a lot of prep just for her battle 2) This is just me but golden hippo was one of the laggiest fights in ER lmao, i guess cruscible knight duo was one of the more miserable fights unprepared 3) I think the armored core boss the one that shoots like a damn qubeley was annoying to deal not to mention multiple phases 4) I don’t think a lot of people would know this but one of the gundam vs games there’s a mission the defeat the alvaron boss but the issue was the minions that were on permanent burst and instant kill you and your ai partner before the boss even spawns. Took me a whole week to clear and cheesed it with zz. 5) Extremoth with hr gear was a nightmare that’s all i gotta say about that
Dr. Nefarious in Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, the first time through the game. You gotta dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge, use all your ammo, and get a little lucky. Then once you beat him the first time nothing is ever difficult again, because you can keep all your weapons and just nuke everyone into oblivion.
@@mattklein7155 I've played it through a ton of times, lol. The trick is to be efficient with your ammo, try to only use one or 2 weapons in the level leading up to Nefarious, that way any ammo you pick up from boxes will be for those 2 weapons only.
Best bosses of the bunch (in my personal opinion) are Malenia, Radahn, and Raven Beak. Great fights, great presentation, and I’m glad that I got to experience them (I honestly think I have more ptsd from Raven Beak than I do from Radahn or Malenia). I’m glad to know that Ornstein and Smough are the hardest from that year, because now I don’t feel so bad about losing to them so many times now.
@@Bravelonelypeople721 That would be 2007 since he was from the Final Mix game. So his contender was Zeus from God of War 2. Never played that one so I'll leave others to argue that lol
Have played and beat both on hardest mode..... Honestly, the gauntlet before Clotho in GoW II took me longer to beat than either, but that's not a boss. Hm........................................ hard to say, it's been a while since I did either, so I don't remember how long either took me. I wanna say...... Zeus was at least broken up into sections, while losing to Lingering Will means starting entirely over from a save point. Reflaga is god-tier, while Zeus has unblockables. I'd say.... Zeus was harder, because often you're trading damage, while Lingering Will you could wait out and bait for opportune moments in the terrain, run from some of his attacks easier.
I did not think any of the bosses in the KH series or God of War series were that difficult. But i don’t know right off what other games came out in the same years with more difficult bosses 🤷♂️. I’m pretty sure i beat Sephiroth in KH1 first try. Unless you’re purposely handicapping yourself, you have so much at your disposal(potions, abilities etc) it’s not too bad despite being the hardest boss in the game. I do think Unknown from KH Final Mix was a bit more difficult but still not bad.
Still gotta love how soulsborne difficulty is not just BS, except O&S and Radahn, but just a hard-to-beat boss design. You don't need to evade the fight, but to embrace it and dance with bosses so you can beat them.
@@dsuable_I mean i don't believe O&S is a bs boss fight. I honestly prefer the Ancient dragon boss of ds2 as a legit bs boss even though technically he's an NPC if u don't attack him. But yeah, ancient dragon's fire attack is just bull sh*t lol😂
i came here cuz i saw Darth Malak on the thumbnail, heres a little trick i used, before you start the fight with him, set up some land mines in the path you come in, mostly frag of plasma, once you use up his heal sources, run, he'll follow you so run back to the mines, he' sometimes force jump right into them
No surprise Radahn 2.0 is on the list! Only just beat him this past week and that was only due to having summoning another player who tanked him while we both applied bleed damage...and even then it took two tries xD
I'm amazed I was able to beat Malenia & Promised Consort Radahn. Elden Ring is my first Fromsoft game. I'm not great at high difficulty games. Malenia took me 43 attempts in my first playthrough (10 on ng+ 1) Consort Radahn took me at most 30 attempts in my first playthrough (At most 15 attempts on ng+ 1) Didn't keep track of Consort Radahn, but I'm pretty sure I took longer to beat Messmer, who I beat first try ng+ 1. Wondering how long it will take me on ng+ 2 to beat them.
@@97alexk Yes, in my first playthrough. Black Knife Tiche for Malenia (Tiche usually died immediately in phase 02) Commander Andreas for Radahn (Andreas managed to survive the entire fight originally, but he kind of got wrecked in Ng+)
@@prc1410 Malenia overall is pretty easy, it's just Waterfowl Dance that is so hard, all her other attacks I can dodge quite easily, even Scarlett Aeonia. I'm pretty sure 90% of my deaths to her were because of Waterfowl Dance, I have no idea how to dodge it. Consort Radahn is a whole other beast, his first phase isn't to bad but his second phase is ridiculous, you get no chance to do anything and little to no punish windows. Honestly his fight felt rng based to me at times, but it's likely just a skill issue on my end.
Yep the Sword Saint from Sekiro was hard, but nothing compared to Sirus, Awakener of Worlds - Path of Exile, introduced 2019 to the game, 5 Years old this guy, and up today still only 3% of all PoE Gamers have beaten it yet.

For 2015, i would have put Skolas from Destiny House of Wolves DLC. The Orphan of Kos is very hard, but Skolas was on an entire level. Skolas was so hard that many people thought he was impossible to beat. Only like 15 people worldwide beat him, so Bungie had to nerf the boss fight so much he would finally be able to be killed

The only game you've mentioned in this video that I liked are (regardless of the hard boss difficulty): Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Devil May Cry Series (I don't like the remastered version), God of War Series, Bayonetta Series, & Metroid Dread
I remember it took me forever to beat Ozma. The final bosses were pretty easy, but he was a menace. Love FF9, probably my favorite 8h the series (6 and 7 are close).
I don’t know about Zeus being on here twice. Maybe I just play those games too much, but I’ve beaten both games on the hardest difficulty and I didn’t think he was that bad. You do have to learn how to use L1 to block, but on medium I don’t even remember him being hard.
I owe Malenia a rematch. I took her out with a mimic tear and the rivers of blood katana, and that combo kind of trivialized her. Next time we square off fair and square.
Wait, in 2017 it should have been The Devil from Cuphead!! It has 3 to 5 phases (depending on your parry timing) to roll the dice, go into random matches with other bosses BEFORE you even have the chance to fight him. Oh and it has permadeath so you go back to the beginning on the chapter
Melania has been beating so often, that I just wanted to quit Elden Ring but after countless of tries, finaly beating her felt so nice. Now seeing what the DLC is about, just makes my more exited.
As soon as it was clear that DLC bosses can appear I knew for a fact that Manus, Fume Knight, Orphan of Kos, Midir and Promissed Consort Radahn will appear on that list LMAO
Sigrun has to be an honourable mention imo, she's absolutely brutal. Though having beaten both her and AbsRad I do agree with them putting AbsRad as a harder boss. That stupid fking moth is still to this day gatekeeping me from beating P5 even tho I've beaten her in Hall of Gods many times. Sigrun is a much more enjoyable fight though imo, I don't like the randomness of some of AbsRad's attacks whereas Sigrun can actually be learnt.
Shout out to Zeus from God Of War 3 in 2010 that managed to beat all the bosses from Demon Souls including Flamelurker, Maneaters and Allanat (I think Allant is harder unless you play GPW3 on very hard) and to Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance in 2013 that managed to beat all the bosses from vanilla Dark Souls 2 including Smelter Demon, Darklurker and Ancient Dragon (I think Darklurker was harder unless you play MGRR on Revengeance mode)
Sigrun lost to Absolute Radiance in this list, so this has nothing to do with fromsoft games... Now, I've defeated both and I really can't tell which one was harder, just that both were two of toughest bosses I've ever fought.
2018 should've been Sirgun, to this day no other boss has put me through so much pain, she's one of the very few times that i felt that i just couldn't beat her no matter what i did, she totally destroyed me
Yozora from kingdom hearts is the hardest boss in gaming history for me. He took me over 30 hours which is ridiculous and i got lucky on the attempt i won on too. He is definitely one of the most broken bosses in gaming history.
In your hardest borres from 2000 to 2009 you had gow aries as 2005 and in 2010 to 2019 you had gna as 2018 Oh how i love you guys alight your bosses accurately whith the different list (in sarcasm for the last sentance
Bro have you played Final Fantasy 12? Yiazmat was INSANE about 20x harder than any other character in the whole game, and ~50x harder than the story final boss
I played Radahn for six hours with no success. I finally only won due to some weird glitch where he died right as I did but just in time for his glitch death to register so I didn’t have to do it again. Pathetic victory? Absolutely. But I’ll take it!
Haha i change my build for killikg him. In the first part i avoid and hit him, but in second phase i use a shield to protect me of some attacks. It is a crazy battle
True monster hunter players know that endgame monsters from monster hunter series are always harder than any soul bosses. Those apex monsters and hyper monsters from 4th gen work the same as tempered/AT or afflicted/risen monsters from MH World and Rise.They have the power of one shot hit, and test your endurance and skill because fights don't last less than minute like soul bosses.
@@sakuranohana1014 I mean to be absolutely fair they can last minutes in MH but you need 1000's of attempts and perfect RnG but your point is 100% valid
While I understand that there are good choices for the most difficult bosses, Cuphead and Kingdom Hearts series shouldn't be ignored at all. The bosses from those games are nothing to scoff at. Data Battles from KH2 and KH3 alone are hilariously harder than most bosses from Soulsbornes. (I love soulsborne series). Let alone Yozora who is IMO easily the hardest boss I ever played (PC Radahn is there with him too).

@@sakuranohana1014Exactly but these videos really never have anything about it. They might have Fatalis once in a blue moon, but they never have the deviants, or 140 apexes or even the lv 300 risen elders.
I can only imagine how many controllers gamers destroyed in anger while fighting these bosses
I agree with some of the stuff in the lists. Here are my own personal challenging experiences playing some games:
1) Pretty sure elizabeth is way harder than nyx, needed a lot of prep just for her battle
2) This is just me but golden hippo was one of the laggiest fights in ER lmao, i guess cruscible knight duo was one of the more miserable fights unprepared
3) I think the armored core boss the one that shoots like a damn qubeley was annoying to deal not to mention multiple phases
4) I don’t think a lot of people would know this but one of the gundam vs games there’s a mission the defeat the alvaron boss but the issue was the minions that were on permanent burst and instant kill you and your ai partner before the boss even spawns. Took me a whole week to clear and cheesed it with zz.
5) Extremoth with hr gear was a nightmare that’s all i gotta say about that
Dr. Nefarious in Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, the first time through the game. You gotta dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge, use all your ammo, and get a little lucky. Then once you beat him the first time nothing is ever difficult again, because you can keep all your weapons and just nuke everyone into oblivion.
I been replying that on my PS2. It's such a fantastic game . You are right about that.
Lol, I agree with this. I recently played it on PS3 and he had me raging at the end.
@@mattklein7155 I've played it through a ton of times, lol. The trick is to be efficient with your ammo, try to only use one or 2 weapons in the level leading up to Nefarious, that way any ammo you pick up from boxes will be for those 2 weapons only.
Best bosses of the bunch (in my personal opinion) are Malenia, Radahn, and Raven Beak. Great fights, great presentation, and I’m glad that I got to experience them (I honestly think I have more ptsd from Raven Beak than I do from Radahn or Malenia).
I’m glad to know that Ornstein and Smough are the hardest from that year, because now I don’t feel so bad about losing to them so many times now.
Lingering Will from KH2 didn’t make the cut how??
Honestly, true
@@Bravelonelypeople721 That would be 2007 since he was from the Final Mix game. So his contender was Zeus from God of War 2. Never played that one so I'll leave others to argue that lol
Have played and beat both on hardest mode.....
Honestly, the gauntlet before Clotho in GoW II took me longer to beat than either, but that's not a boss.
Hm........................................ hard to say, it's been a while since I did either, so I don't remember how long either took me. I wanna say...... Zeus was at least broken up into sections, while losing to Lingering Will means starting entirely over from a save point. Reflaga is god-tier, while Zeus has unblockables.
I'd say.... Zeus was harder, because often you're trading damage, while Lingering Will you could wait out and bait for opportune moments in the terrain, run from some of his attacks easier.
I did not think any of the bosses in the KH series or God of War series were that difficult. But i don’t know right off what other games came out in the same years with more difficult bosses 🤷♂️. I’m pretty sure i beat Sephiroth in KH1 first try. Unless you’re purposely handicapping yourself, you have so much at your disposal(potions, abilities etc) it’s not too bad despite being the hardest boss in the game.
I do think Unknown from KH Final Mix was a bit more difficult but still not bad.
@@danielward8645 the secret boss in kh bith by sleep and lingering will from KH2 are harder than any boss in the souls franchise
Pretty much just Soulsborne bosses from 2011 onward.
so you are mad that they have hard bosses or?
@@itachileesan No. Just the list would've been a lot different if it were excluding Soulsborne bosses.
Still gotta love how soulsborne difficulty is not just BS, except O&S and Radahn, but just a hard-to-beat boss design. You don't need to evade the fight, but to embrace it and dance with bosses so you can beat them.
@@dsuable_I mean i don't believe O&S is a bs boss fight. I honestly prefer the Ancient dragon boss of ds2 as a legit bs boss even though technically he's an NPC if u don't attack him.
But yeah, ancient dragon's fire attack is just bull sh*t lol😂
@@dsuable_ OnS are not even hard. it was just nostalgia trip, they were never hard.
Oh Ishin I probably hold the Guinness world record for number of attempts before I finally managed to get him 😅
Ozma - Final Fantasy 9 This Giant Ball of Death throws everything at you, & even at Level 100, he still won't go down easy.
i came here cuz i saw Darth Malak on the thumbnail, heres a little trick i used, before you start the fight with him, set up some land mines in the path you come in, mostly frag of plasma, once you use up his heal sources, run, he'll follow you so run back to the mines, he' sometimes force jump right into them
Next we need a 1980-2002 list
I'm surprised that Inner Agent 3 from Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion wasn't on this list. That boss is the bane of the existence of many Splatoon players!
No surprise Radahn 2.0 is on the list! Only just beat him this past week and that was only due to having summoning another player who tanked him while we both applied bleed damage...and even then it took two tries xD
Can you do top 25 best Nintendo games of each year?
Ofc it make sense that soulslike bosses will dominant this video
Super Tyrant over Yozora is just wrong disregarding RE2 wasn’t released in 2020
I'm amazed I was able to beat Malenia & Promised Consort Radahn. Elden Ring is my first Fromsoft game. I'm not great at high difficulty games.
Malenia took me 43 attempts in my first playthrough (10 on ng+ 1)
Consort Radahn took me at most 30 attempts in my first playthrough (At most 15 attempts on ng+ 1)
Didn't keep track of Consort Radahn, but I'm pretty sure I took longer to beat Messmer, who I beat first try ng+ 1.
Wondering how long it will take me on ng+ 2 to beat them.
Did you use summons in any way?
@@97alexk Yes, in my first playthrough. Black Knife Tiche for Malenia (Tiche usually died immediately in phase 02)
Commander Andreas for Radahn (Andreas managed to survive the entire fight originally, but he kind of got wrecked in Ng+)
@@YourBestBudFlowey Cool. Now try it solo!
Malenia took me 3 tries. Consort Radahn took me over 100.
@@prc1410 Malenia overall is pretty easy, it's just Waterfowl Dance that is so hard, all her other attacks I can dodge quite easily, even Scarlett Aeonia.
I'm pretty sure 90% of my deaths to her were because of Waterfowl Dance, I have no idea how to dodge it.
Consort Radahn is a whole other beast, his first phase isn't to bad but his second phase is ridiculous, you get no chance to do anything and little to no punish windows. Honestly his fight felt rng based to me at times, but it's likely just a skill issue on my end.
"The one winged angle?"😂😂
Bro this isn’t even a hardest boss list it’s just the ones you like. Zeus? Cmon bro.
Was pretty hard for me when i played on very hard
I almost gave up
play the game on Titan mode then comeback here.
Yep the Sword Saint from Sekiro was hard, but nothing compared to Sirus, Awakener of Worlds - Path of Exile, introduced 2019 to the game, 5 Years old this guy, and up today still only 3% of all PoE Gamers have beaten it yet.
sword saint not even the hardest in his own game
Demon of hatred or the ape and his girlfriend @@Bill_9999
@@Bill_9999Inner Sword Saint is harder than him. Inner Genichiro can be as well.

Maybe it was just me but I thought there were a couple hard ones in the Darksiders series, & unfortunately not many people talk about the series
For 2015, i would have put Skolas from Destiny House of Wolves DLC. The Orphan of Kos is very hard, but Skolas was on an entire level. Skolas was so hard that many people thought he was impossible to beat. Only like 15 people worldwide beat him, so Bungie had to nerf the boss fight so much he would finally be able to be killed
The year isn’t even over guys😭🤦🏻♂️

Do this again without the SoulsBorn series and see how different your list is.
Nobody cares there’s already millions of those boring video out there
@@WhySoSeriousSenpai you cared enough to reply
@@MajinK Even then, still don't care 😊
Shut up nerds
Shao Kahn in Mortal Kombat 9, or Galactus in Marvel vs Capcom 3 would have been good choices for the 2011 section.
Putting The End on this list for the same year the Ninja Gaiden reboot came out is diabolical work.
Dude im glad to see Malak here he wasn't a joke back in the day, after 20 years though, hes only a lil easier, just gotta drain everyone else first
It would be fun to see this list if you couldn’t include Soulsborne game
The only game you've mentioned in this video that I liked are (regardless of the hard boss difficulty): Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Devil May Cry Series (I don't like the remastered version), God of War Series, Bayonetta Series, & Metroid Dread
DMC is a remake, not a remaster. Do learn the difference kind sir.
where hollow knight
I remember it took me forever to beat Ozma. The final bosses were pretty easy, but he was a menace. Love FF9, probably my favorite 8h the series (6 and 7 are close).
Wow, some of these bosses gave me a real challenge! 🎮😅
How you didnt even give Fatalis from Monster Hunter World a mention is beyond me. Alatreon was also a far harder fight than many bosses you mentioned.
Armstrong in the base game isn’t much trouble with the quicktime events giving you free damage
Him in Sam’s DLC however
I feel like Blade Wolf was harder, Armstrong was easy to read but fucking Blade Wolf?
I don’t know about Zeus being on here twice. Maybe I just play those games too much, but I’ve beaten both games on the hardest difficulty and I didn’t think he was that bad. You do have to learn how to use L1 to block, but on medium I don’t even remember him being hard.
Fatalis not being here is so stupid
EXACTLY
Seeing the fume knight in the intro made me feel okay😂😂
Isshin, the sword ,spear,pistol saint
I owe Malenia a rematch. I took her out with a mimic tear and the rivers of blood katana, and that combo kind of trivialized her. Next time we square off fair and square.
Golden Hippo from SoET
Wait, in 2017 it should have been The Devil from Cuphead!! It has 3 to 5 phases (depending on your parry timing) to roll the dice, go into random matches with other bosses BEFORE you even have the chance to fight him. Oh and it has permadeath so you go back to the beginning on the chapter
Nameless King VS Malenia VS Ishin. Which of the 3 is the most challenging? Lets hear it!
Melania has been beating so often, that I just wanted to quit Elden Ring but after countless of tries, finaly beating her felt so nice. Now seeing what the DLC is about, just makes my more exited.
Prepare to die before radahm. However, malenia is the most difficult boss so Long.
As soon as it was clear that DLC bosses can appear I knew for a fact that Manus, Fume Knight, Orphan of Kos, Midir and Promissed Consort Radahn will appear on that list LMAO
its funny how a 3 games had 6 bosses with 2 from each be the hardest out of any other in 6 seperate years AND THEY ARE MADE FROM THE SAME STUDIO
It’s pretty easy when you make the bosses the same and make them all hit hard. It’s very repetitive and gets boring imo
Watching watch mojo in 2024 who woulda thought life comes full circle 🤧
I totally cheesed Darth Malak with adheasive grenades and thermal detonators. Could never beat him in a fair fight 😅
Basically once you hit 2010 this just becomes a "hardest boss in each souls game" list.
Sigrun...still cant defeat her to this day
Sigrun has to be an honourable mention imo, she's absolutely brutal. Though having beaten both her and AbsRad I do agree with them putting AbsRad as a harder boss. That stupid fking moth is still to this day gatekeeping me from beating P5 even tho I've beaten her in Hall of Gods many times. Sigrun is a much more enjoyable fight though imo, I don't like the randomness of some of AbsRad's attacks whereas Sigrun can actually be learnt.
Shout out to Zeus from God Of War 3 in 2010 that managed to beat all the bosses from Demon Souls including Flamelurker, Maneaters and Allanat (I think Allant is harder unless you play GPW3 on very hard) and to Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance in 2013 that managed to beat all the bosses from vanilla Dark Souls 2 including Smelter Demon, Darklurker and Ancient Dragon (I think Darklurker was harder unless you play MGRR on Revengeance mode)

I’ve platinumed Elden Ring and beaten All dark souls… the Valkyrie queen in God of War (2018) is harder than anything in those games imo
God of War is just a spamming game, press the all buttons bro
It depends on your build in elden ring. My rivers of blood playthroughs were easy but the greatsword and iron balls ones were hell.
@@alp_mez8598 have you ever tried using whips?
Sigrun lost to Absolute Radiance in this list, so this has nothing to do with fromsoft games... Now, I've defeated both and I really can't tell which one was harder, just that both were two of toughest bosses I've ever fought.
Monster Hunter didnt even make the list...
In my opinion the end boss fight is one the most unique and fun bosses in any game
Laxasia was easier than the final secret boss of lies of p.
2018 should've been Sirgun, to this day no other boss has put me through so much pain, she's one of the very few times that i felt that i just couldn't beat her no matter what i did, she totally destroyed me
Yozora from kingdom hearts is the hardest boss in gaming history for me. He took me over 30 hours which is ridiculous and i got lucky on the attempt i won on too. He is definitely one of the most broken bosses in gaming history.
In your hardest borres from 2000 to 2009 you had gow aries as 2005 and in 2010 to 2019 you had gna as 2018
Oh how i love you guys alight your bosses accurately whith the different list (in sarcasm for the last sentance
Bro have you played Final Fantasy 12? Yiazmat was INSANE about 20x harder than any other character in the whole game, and ~50x harder than the story final boss
Yiazmat wasn't actually hard, it just took forever to bring him down.
Final Fantasy 13 was harder than 12
Not having The Edge from Furi for 2015 is crazy
After 2015 only hard boss on your list was ishin the other were a joke
I played Radahn for six hours with no success. I finally only won due to some weird glitch where he died right as I did but just in time for his glitch death to register so I didn’t have to do it again.
Pathetic victory? Absolutely. But I’ll take it!
Haha i change my build for killikg him. In the first part i avoid and hit him, but in second phase i use a shield to protect me of some attacks. It is a crazy battle
Took me 5 days to beat Consort Radahn, the second phase is ridiculous, crazy holy damage, massive AOE attacks, holy beams that mess up ur vision 😂
I’ve been trying for 11 days 😂
@brookejames3781 keep trying..you'll get there..getting the golden braid talisman really helps negate some of the holy damage
the boss spams too much holy lasers
@@prc1410 fr that second phase is like a light show 🤣
i was expecting sigrun to be at the 2018 one, but here we are
Someone remember The Forgotten One from Castlevania Lords of Shadow DLC on hardest difficulty? That was a frikin hard boss
Crazy The End from MGS 3 and Zeus from GoW made the list but not Yozora from KH3 who was insanely murderous
Y'all didn't try solo AT monsters on Monster Hunter did ya? 😂
Or play Yakuza by the looks of it 😅😂
True monster hunter players know that endgame monsters from monster hunter series are always harder than any soul bosses.
Those apex monsters and hyper monsters from 4th gen work the same as tempered/AT or afflicted/risen monsters from MH World and Rise.They have the power of one shot hit, and test your endurance and skill because fights don't last less than minute like soul bosses.
@@sakuranohana1014 I mean to be absolutely fair they can last minutes in MH but you need 1000's of attempts and perfect RnG but your point is 100% valid
Finally found some that thinks Laxasia was the harder in the game... Romeo in close second...
While I understand that there are good choices for the most difficult bosses, Cuphead and Kingdom Hearts series shouldn't be ignored at all. The bosses from those games are nothing to scoff at. Data Battles from KH2 and KH3 alone are hilariously harder than most bosses from Soulsbornes. (I love soulsborne series). Let alone Yozora who is IMO easily the hardest boss I ever played (PC Radahn is there with him too).
