Sandman from spider man 2
My favourite video gamefirst boss is Knuckledragger from Borderlands 2 because he has a chance to drop the legendary Hornet pistol, which is one of the best op pistols in the game, especially at the start of the game if he drops it.
“You challenge me mortal? A GOD OF OLYMPUS!” this line has been stuck in my head since 2010 and to me it’s action games at its finest… a lot came close but nothing matched this iconic line and the bombastic buildup of this fight… it’s eternally peak and will forever be my fav prologue ever
Especially when posedon raises his trident in action
@ peak personified
Moment when Thor kills you and brings Kratos back to life is pretty epic even if he's not the first boss in GOWR
No Kamoshida from Persona 5? While it's from an RPG, it does make a good impression in a narrative point of view. This is a boss that you hate since you came face to face with him and the ongoing beatdown with him is so satisfying.
The Sandman fight in Spiderman 2 was crazy. Maybe it was just how cinematic and stunning the visuals were.
Not a big fan of the whole game but I 100% agree
starting of gow 3 w/ taking out one of the greek pantheons trinity will always be peak 😂😭
Dracula from Castlevania Symphony of the night is also an iconic boss fight at the start.
Shadow of the Colossus for feelings.
Metal Gear Rising for action.
God of War 3 for impression.
Dante's inferno first boss fight was literally death .. it was insane
Before I clicked this video, I said, "Metal Gear Rising BETTER be in this one." It was lol.
Amazing video mojo plays.
Sandman from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is one of the best opening missions/bosses of all time
Every first boss that looks really intimidating, remember, it’s the tutorial boss. It’s gets worse from there!
Also that scene, 11:11, still gives me goosebumps today!
“So it’s the final boss?”
“No, it’s the tutorial boss.”
“So who’s the final boss? A bigger giant robot?”
“No, the guy controlling it.”
The Stranger in God of War (2018)
Baldur
@@earlmoore7003 but in the first fight he’s referred to as “The Stranger”
Thor in ragnarok was better nice try diddy
@Bxrry125 lol nah, they basically did the same thing but less impact full.
@@earlmoore7003 how could you even say that? You like some skinny dude over fuckin Thor? That’s actually the most crazy thing I’ve ever heard. Thors fight was so much better. It was bombastic, mechanically good, more cinematic. It’s better in every single way. That comment actually pissed me off shut tf weirdo
The sandman fight in Spider-Man 2 and Deathstroke fight in Batman Arkham origins were good ones too
Killer Croc was the first boss in Arkham Origins, not Deathstroke. Croc is still fun though, escaping from his bite and making him drop fuel canisters on himself.
@WhiteFangofWar oh yeah but the Deathstroke fight is so memorable
The Parasite Queen is just the perfect build to a first boss fight, and also the theme is just SO ICONIC, Im beyond hyped for Prime 4
GOW 3 has always been my favorite in the franchise. 💪
Thor in GOW Ragnarok was also one of the best
Kamoshida in Persona 5 Royal.
SPOILER
SPACE
Taking him down,
Taking him down, after everything he did to Ryuji, Ann, Shiho, Mishima, and Joker, is peak catharsis, and it pretty much ensures you'll be cheering on those kids to the very end.
My favorite Boss is Parasite queen from Metroid prime on GameCube.
While I’m not the biggest fan of the whole game, Sandman from Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 should’ve really been on here
For me Colgera from Zelda:tears of the kingdom was peak first boss! Especially the music for the boss battle
It’s a great boss, but the issue is that it’s not a “first” boss. It certainly can be, but by the nature of it being an open world game, people could have also fought the Gibdo Queen, the Marbled Gohma, or the Mucktorok first, even IF the game incentivizes you to go to Rito village first
I think Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village should have been on the list
I remember in Ninja Gaiden, the first boss was this jacked dude who had nunchucks. And he wasn't easy, even as a first boss. It was from there that u decided to keep playing or that the game wasn't for you lol
Epic since from the intro
Killer Croc in Batman Arkham Origins when you reach the roof of Blackgate Prison
One lesser known but memorable first boos is the Kiselev Aggressor in The Red Star.
Iudex Gundyr deserves a spot on this list.
I honestly think wyzen from asuras wrath should have been number 1. Between asura remembering his past and his imprisonment during the fight to the simple fact that it just keeps escalating and wyzen grows to the size of a freaking planet in his final moments, to the “come at me bro!” Gesture of Asura as he stops wyzens finger and proceeds to punch him into oblivion. Sheer epicness on a scale I’ve never seen from any game before or since
I hate That guys GHIRAHIM from the legend of Zelda skyward sword on the Wii.
Don't forget Scorpion Sentinel Guard because that First Boss of FFVII Remake kicked off with a BANG [as in Mako Reactor Explosion] around New Year 2023
Game came out in 2020, but still a great opening.
Cerberus (DMC3): LEAVE NOW, MORTAL!! THE LIKES OF YOU ARE FORBIDDEN IN THIS LAND! YOU WHO ARE POWERLESS ARE NOT WORTHY TO STEP FOOT HERE!!
Dante: Wow, I’ve never seen a talking mutt before. You know, in a dog show, you’d definitely take first place.♪
You should have put Gorimondo from Kirby and the forgotten land on this list
Parade master from Lies of P should've been on this list imo.
baldur from gow 2018 surely
Thor was better. Nice try diddy
Best? i dont think, but the first boss of Wo Long beat it and you mastered the game
The best first boss in video games. Objectively, Great Mighty Poo takes that cake. Though Ghirahim from Skyward Sword is also amazing.
The Great Mighty Poo isn't a first boss though!
@BigAlvideos101 He is the first real boss in the game. Who you may be thinking is a miniboss not a real one.
@@darkdragonmedeus705 Haybot is the first boss in Conker's Bad Fur Day- he's not a miniboss!
@@BigAlvideos101 Every playthrough I played has Great Mighty Poo being before Haybot. And I played through this game a lot. And in fact, a quick look at NintendoCapriSun's LP; the best LP there is of that game. He encountered GMP before Haybot.
@@darkdragonmedeus705 Haybot is literally the boss of the first world you go to in the game, so unless you can do things out of order (and you can't), then Haybot would be the first boss you face! GMP isn't until MUCH later in the game!
Where's giganto
Is that the boss from The Legend of Dragoon?
@MRWINDYMETHANE lol
What about the first boss from the first Ninja Gaiden reboot, MojoPlays?
Poseidon. The End
@@Rodrigo4391 Thor too
While father gascoigne is the best presented first boss i've ever seen, i think mezuki from nioh 2 is the best first boss mechanically
Between: Iudex Gundir, Gyobu Oniwa, Margit the Fell and Father Gascoigne... you pick asylum demon? Asylum demon is one of the worst possible picks out of any soulsborne (only Vanguard and Last Giant are worse).
I'd go with Gungir.
Nioh 1 onryoki deserves a spot ngl
that isnt the first boss of nioh 1 is the axe guy
@Mixedbeats18 true but its hard to call him really a boss. He is still very cool tough derick the executioner just very easy. But like onryoki god damn.... i understand nioh let you fight him 100 of times 😅
@@finndriessen5829is still harder that bomb king,
You forgot PS1 MGS Revolver Ocelot
What about Thor in god of war ragnarok?
If I remember correctly, the bear was the first boss
@@10640404 I’m sayin
Dimitri from Sly 2
I have absolutely no interest in any of the games on this list; So I give this list a complete 👎🏼; With the exceptions being: Metroid Prime, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Super Mario 64,
i like ds1 better than ds3 but gundyr beats asylum demon in every way
Del lago is not first boss is second real first boss is chainsaw doctor in village. 12:02
Chainsaw doctor isnt a boss, but a very tough enemy.
Iudex Gundyr was better than asylum demon
you called it Nier WHAT
Sandman from Spider-Man 2???
No Asura's Wrath? 😢
Iudex Gundyr (Dark Souls 3)?
Castelveina sempny of night
Hello where's sandman from Spiderman 2
Am I the only one that actually thinks Girahim makes for a weak starter boss in the Zelda franchise? He was boring as sin, his design (in terms of visual and personality) felt like a fashion relic of the time he was in, BEFORE it had even passed over completely and extremely repetitive. I genuinely groan every time his sections of the game approaches cause I seriously can't stand him. The game does it's best to make him come across as intimidating in some sense, but it's more like facing some pre-teen brat who's trying so hard to impress daddy-kins.
First boss fight for me though? The mist dragon in final fantasy IV. Pretty standard on it's own, I suppose, until you learn of the devestating result from it's death.
Where is Wyzen?
Poseidon shouldn't have been first boss 😢😢
No papa g ?
why so many bots
first
Great videos thank you
Why the NPC commentator.
