Our countdown includes Metal Gear RAY from “Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance” (2013), Toriel from “Undertale” (2015), Ghirahim from “The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword” (2011), The Engels from “Nier: Automata” (2017), and more!

      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

    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.

      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 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

    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.
