    Climbing the tower on the way to fight Hyperion, with the organ music getting louder and more ominous, and then arriving to where the fight takes place is an amazing setup to hands down the most beautiful fight in the game. 100% agree with you here.

      For me the worst was 1 biome, I have died many times. Alien with red bullets and thoese trees were insane. My health bar was small and there was not to much health to recover. At second bime I have died 4 times. And in third I only die two time only on boss. I took wrong gun. After I kill 3 boss I have compleeted game in one run and do not even use astronaut or reconstructor also this electro gun is OP

  • @benbridges21
    @benbridges21 2 года назад +15

    Ixion stood out as the most difficult. All the rest could be in any order. Ixion's 3rd phase felt so much more difficult than his first 2 that had some similar patterns you could get used to. Coupled with the tight fight area and his movement. Beating him felt like more of a grind because I had to really scavenge Biome 1 and 2 to max Selene out before taking him on. I think when I finally beat him I went in with a large silphium vial, 2 smaller ones, a parasite that grants an extra life and an astronaut figure just t make sure.

    • @M9_Prime
      @M9_Prime 2 года назад +1

      Also the first time you fight him you have very limited weapons. No Rotgland Lobber and no Electropylon Driver. I think the best gun you have at that point is the hollowseeker but it’s low level so no cool traits like void beam or void turret. He is the boss that almost made me quit the game, after failing like 7-8 times I beat him in co-op. The rest of the game I got through pretty well. Trying to get the platinum now but Crimson Wastes won’t give me the Ciphers which is annoying. From act 1 I have the survey for the ruins and the tower. Seems like the wastes have the most variety of maps so it’s hard to get all the rooms.

      I do not understand How this Ixion Boss is harder than Nemesis. I never have an issue with this one. Just so ya know, I just got Returnal and have been playing for about a week now. It took me a bit to get everything ready and beat the first boss, but after I finally succeeded in beating him, I just plowed through the crimson wastes. No deaths not even to the boss. However, Biome 3 and Nemesis were my bane for a few days. I finally beat Nemesis last night. took me 4 tries. ugh lol. Ixion can be a little overwhelming with how fast he moves, but I Felt he was a lot more easier to dodge literally everything he throws at you.

    Phrike definitely is the easiest boss, but I think it was the one I died the most to for the reasons you mentioned - I was scared shitless seeing him and really had no clue how the game worked at that point, so it was hard to breathe and focus. The game really does teach you to think smarter through play.

  • @creepingandhealing
    @creepingandhealing Год назад +3

    Everyone seems to have a different experience with this game. I struggled immensely with Biome 1, and Phrike was tough for me. I spent more time in the game prior to beating Phrike than the entire rest of the game combined. Hyperion was the other big sticking point, but the rest of the bosses I beat on my first or second try. I'm always shocked to hear people talk about how hard a time they had with Biome 3 because I played all the way through it on my first try, and didn't even find it that hard on Act III. I hope if Housemarque makes any kind of successor to this game they find some ways to balance the difficulty a bit more across the experience. It did feel good to get better at it, but the first Biome was so hard for me I almost had to put the game down and the finale was a bit underwhelming in comparison.

    I found Nemesis remarkably easy tbh, you're invulnerable during grappling and you're doing it a lot so I took barely any damage. In the third phase you get up close and personal and for some reason the minions don't target you and you just have to dodge the 'bullet hell' until he blows you back again.
    I agree Ixion is the most difficult

  • @jbroughton2666
    @jbroughton2666 2 года назад +3

    I'd absolutely agree with your list. 2nd boss caused me the most stress. I was screaming at the TV when I finally beat it. Final boss is easy once you have the electropylon driver. I've tried other weapons on it and got beaten up badly.

  • @Rasioks
    @Rasioks Год назад

    I found it really funny than I was able to defeat both Ixion and Nemesis in on the same run and first try, only to be killed when reaching the echoing wastes by a parasite that I forgot to read properly, that immediately got triggered and killed me. This game has been consuming my time and thoughts lately, it is such an amazing experience.

  • @M9_Prime
    @M9_Prime 2 года назад +1

    You are right. That Hyperion fight was so fun.
    The Electropylon Driver is a great weapon however when fighting Nemesis (3rd biome) boss I couldn’t beat him because his hit location didn’t allow for those beams to damage him. The Rotgland Lobber makes short work of most of the bosses.also the 3rd phase is so fun, you can’t really die by falling.
    I also 100% agree that Axion that is the hardest. It also doesn’t help the first time you fight him you don’t have any good guns unlocked. Also that 2nd biome sucks for finding the Ciphers, for the survey it’s the trophy with the lowest completion rate.

  • @ArcienPlaysGames
    @ArcienPlaysGames Год назад

    So cool to find videos about ranked returnal! I sorta agree with this list and I sorta don't. I think in my case I'd rank these bosses throughout my entire playtime, because of the experience you get throughout the journey teaches you a lot.
    5. Ophion. Never lost to it, easy to figure out what to do and how to avoid the patterns since they're relatively slow, and you're always overprepared if you've gone for the whole run. That, or you have the Electropylon Driver unlocked ... or both lmao.
    4. Hyperion. Big agree. Quite a bit harder, almost got me once, but I've never lost to Hyperion either. Was close to put Hyperion as number 3 just because of the lead-up to the fight. It's so epic, and Hyperion is easily my favourite boss in the game. Easily. And that's saying a lot imo, because all the bosses are just really fun and/or epic.
    3. Nemesis. Never lost to Nemesis either, but it's still a tanky boss, the soundtrack is so sick, and the fight is incredibly theatrical, fun and VERY unique. And most importantly, the bullet hell is VERY bullet helly. Now before you say you've noticed a pattern in the way I list the bosses...
    2. Phrike. I've died to this boss more than any other, and I've lost more times than I've won against it. The patterns took forever for me to learn and remember, and I was stuck on Act 1-1 for the longest time. For the first many hours, the fight felt nerve wrecking. When I finally beat it, I was on the edge of my seat, and with critical HP. And it just made me fear what was to come, since I went in blind. It was so sick.
    1. Ixion. Large agree. The switch-up from Phrike here, hit me directly. Like I felt like I was hurt by Ixion. The fight is SO awesome, but for a long time, I was never prepared for anything Ixion did. Even with a good build and healing items on standby, Ixion was melting me. Such a great boss fight, and it still very much is.
    All of this said though, most malformed minibosses, automatons, severed and turrets will end my run more often than any of these bosses could ever dream of doing.

After Ixion, I one shotted the third and fourth biomes and their respective bosses in their entirety and in one go.
    And then came that freaking room!! You all know which one I'm talking about and on top of that, we had to get all the Hadal keys in one go. After that, no sweat!

  • @michaelschlichenmaier730
    @michaelschlichenmaier730 3 года назад +4

    You have to differentiate between real difficulty and how difficult the boss was for the player at the according stage of the game. I still have to beat Ophion (only got to him once with minimal health) - but besides that, I'm pretty sure I would beat Phrike now easily. However, when I had to beat him for the first time, it took me 10+ attempts. More than ANY other boss. I beat Ixion at ... fourth attempt? Nemesis at second attempt. And Hyperion at first attempt. So if I'd use the amount of attempts, I'd say Phrike is the hardest and the bosses got easier every time. However, that's not the case. If you managed to even get to Nemesis, you're trained A LOT more (Biome 3 is evil!) than you were at earlier bosses. And Hyperion has the advantage, that you can get to him a lot easier, because you can always restart at Biome 4 and quickly learn the challenges of this Biome without running through a ton of other Biomes. By the way ... if I had to rank Biomes i'd say Biome 3 - most difficult - followed by Biome 5, Biome 6, then Biome 4, Biome 1 and Biome 2.

    I think Hyperion is probably the most difficult for me. I expected it to be more of a close quarters fight, but he has an attack that can really mess you up if you go close. I've probably struggled the most against Hyperion and Phrike. I've yet to die against bosses 3 or 6. I think I'm around 5 of 5 against each. I would lose if I tried to use the pistol or Spitmaw and TRIED to lose I guess, but they just aren't very difficult compared to other enemies. My favorite is probably the boss of the second biome, which is also my favorite area. The battle is a spectacle to behold, and he puts up a pretty decent fight in the last phase.
    Hyperion
    Phrike (partially due to your gear at this point being awful; otherwise I would probably bump him down one spot)

Till this day I can't believe I beat him. I got lucky. My ammo was causing him damage over time, he died before I did. But Ixion and Phrike are the only bosses thar I'm still petrified of. Fortunately didn't have any need to fight them again so they are just a frightening memory like the bogeyman 😂

    For me, the hardest was Nemesis, followed by Ophion, Ixion (what was the most fun for me cause it emulated fighting ridley in metroid prime), hyperion and the phrike.

    Beat this game past week, and to me Hyperion was definitely the hardest as there are so many object flying about!
    Ophion and Ixion were surprisingly easy, but Ixion only because I had a good build.
    Nemesis was very fun and a pretty difficult, just like Phrike on my first encounter.
    On a rerun I ran with Dreadbound for a full act 1 run.. and boy, that weapon is extremely bad against Nemesis phase 3!

    Phrike took me 2 attempts
    Ixion also 2 attempts
    Nemesis 1 attempt ( i was shocked considering this was the hardest from what I have heard)
    Hyperion around 5-6 attempts. Def the hardest boss for me. The crazy bullet hell really did a number on me for this one.
    Ophion 1st attempt. He was a cake walk lol

    It's funny how everybody seems to have made other experiences! :)
    To me Phrike was the toughest boss, cuz the game's mechanics are still fresh (even after 10 hours of play lol) and because my way to him took so long, the tension that built up to this point was insane. Died the most times and barely beat him after several tries.
    The 2nd boss was also tough. He has that one move especially, where he kinda disappears by flying high above the ground and then comes in. You can see him coming if you're lucky, but 99% of the time I was just trying to figure out where he was, spinning the camera around like crazy and I would always miss him.
    Weirdly enough after that I managed to beat bosses 3-5 first try! But I agree, I got by the last boss mainly on the strength of my stats😅 Watching your video I realize I stood wayyyy tooo close to him, that's why I had trouble reading his attacks and got surprised many times that a laser ring came in from off screen😅😅
    oh and Nemesis: I didn't know where to shoot at, but luckily I had the trackerswarm alt-fire. once I fired that, I could easily see where the projectiles went!👐🙌 also only on my 3rd runthrough have I realized that you can actually shoot down those minion suckers that shoot those yellow lasers at you!!

    The only boss I've died to is my first run in with Phrike, which is pronounced Freaky by the way. After that initial run/death, I've been able to get through all the bosses fairly comfortably. If I had to say one that's the most difficult, maybe Nemesis? I think I took the most damage against him.

    Weirdly enough, I play a lot of Monster Hunter games (like +2000 hours) and I got this game and manage to kill all bosses on my first attempt. My deaths mostly came from locked zones and poor navigation (holes, traps, getting surrounded). Finished the game with 13 deaths (8 from learning zone one, before understanding how to boost your HP bar), 18 death total at ACT 3. Now I'm gathering the stuff I missed for the platinum and since I'm skipping a lot of rooms, I'm always under leveled and the game is brutal when you don't explore as much.

    Yeah for sure Phrike is the easiest looking back at it now…but I personally spent the most attempts on that one out of all of them, I found the learning curve the highest on that boss. Having said that I would pretty much agree with your list though. Ophion is the only boss I beat the first time though but I think a lot of it is getting lucky with weapons.

  • @kilroy987
    @kilroy987 Год назад

    If you know the proper responses and general avoidance patterns, they are all pretty easy.
    That said, I'd rank them:
    Nemesis (hardest) - long fight, general avoidance works here, watch out for the yellow beams, don't take too long in phase 1 and 2
    Ixion - careful with the sword swipes in Phase 3, they hurt
    Hyperion - You might get snared by the red brambles if you get too close
    Phrike - a little rough with only beginner weapons and 1 biome of farming, just know the avoidance moves, and be careful with the purple novas, red lasers and hand swipes
    Ophion (easiest) - especially with an Exploding/Expanding Dreadbound - this weapon will end this boss very fast. Don't take too long.

  • @Dologaming24
    @Dologaming24 2 года назад

    I pretty much agree with this list, although I’d put the final boss as the easiest because of how strong I was and my knowledge of the game at that point. It was really simple. With all the attention to detail, and the movement It takes to get through the biomes, fighting bosses that don’t move were super easy. The 2nd and 3rd bosses were easily the toughest. I flew through the rest of the game because of them. I was preparing for what I thought the bosses could be like after that. 2nd boss was the most difficult because of his movement, being out of sight so much, and the versatility of the attacks. However, the 3rd boss was more stressful because of there was less room to work with while dodging and attacking, and each phase was different. The platforming was awesome. It was super tense and I beat It first try with a sliver of health left. Definitely the most fun and epic boss fight. Highlight of my playthrough for sure. Made the 2nd act pretty underwhelming after a while.

  • @wow956
    @wow956 2 года назад

    The pylon makes every fight so much easier. Other than the first boss I never died again at any other boss. I died getting to them but not during the fight. Its honestly us players that make these fights difficult. We do a lot of unnecessary moving and dodging. Once I realized that I should only dodge/move once I know where its going to land or strike. Things became so much easier and I was so much more relaxed. Even Watching you in this video you were just running around dodging the first attack and hoping it was enough to dodge the next attacks. You literally would dodge the first attack straight into the path of the next and get hit.

    I beat Phrike and Ixion first try all in one go, after dying of course to that one cave mini boss. I was like “wow I thought this game was supposed to be hard”…. But then nemesis came…. Lol I think I got it on my third attempt and only lord knows how many getting back. Hyperion was easily my favorite boss in the game but he was pretty easy no doubt. Honestly one of my favorite bosses ever. Biome 5 is such a cool location, part of me wishes there was a boss there. Ophion was the easiest by far imo. Like you by the time I actually made it to him after many deaths I was really strong with max proficiency. Abyssal scar has some tough ass enemies and getting there was much harder. But I beat ophion in like 2 min. I was like umm, is there another? But nonetheless amazing game.
