I think the perfect boss fight is one that feels like it was worth the steps it took to get to it. The orda boss sucks because the Easter egg is painful to complete. The voyage fight feels like a reward because you finally beat the hard egg and fight that went with it. Valentina in my opinion is the perfect balance of challenging, fun, and worth the time it took to get to the fight
@@TrapKarteX yeah. You could cheese the boss fight to your liking if you get helicon and phd. I still think the fight was one of the best in conjunction to the steps it took to get to it
@@cadere3605 well worth in my opinion is if the boss fight feels fun and you can enjoy yourself. If you spent a decently long time doing an egg then the boss is meant to give you the final taste of it. The fight needs to feel worth all the work it took to get to that point
Hey Lex, my fellow lore buffs might be able to correct me, but pretty the Nine were a group of people across the globe who banded together in ancient times to protect the usage of Prima Materia (the black goo stuff) so it didn’t get abused by people like the Cult of Chaos. They created the Sentinel Artifacts and IX is likely the first trial to be created as it is set the earliest in history (before Ancient evils original activation by Perseus)
@@findlaymurray397 what’s funny to think about is that that reaction is exactly why it wasn’t continued lol. I wish it continued as well. Hopefully one day soon we can get actually characters and not operators.
I love Forsaken, the map, the boss fight, the mini bosses, the wonder weapon, the story and most importantly, the gorgeous visuals in the map overall. Also it was my first easter egg ever in cod history and I've been playing since bo2
Eh... the map layout is trash, they couldnt think of a better way to link the map but with tps, it dosnt look good, the art direction is inexistant is barely different from the campaign/multiplayer map. The map is way too easy the wonder weapon is absolutely broken, the boss is piss easy and gets deleted in less than 2 minutes tops. The steps are not good the egg itself isnt interesting. However there is many small easter eggs that are really really good. The forsaken looks sick and zykov was a good concept and the dark aether is interesting.
I absolutely loved the dead of the night boss and the map itself. It's the most underrated map in cod history and it gets massively hated on because of noahj and his followers.
I believe it gets hated due to all the parts and their locations. And the complicated steps to get pap. Might be fun for the more hardcore players but it wasn’t really fun for casual players
@@patrickm1 I love those maps too, but something about dead of night makes me hate it when I play. Might be the vampire or wear wolf that I just don’t like fighting. Could be the bo4 engine, perk, and point system. Could be all the parts that blend in with the environment. Could just be the setting in general. Something about it makes me not like it.
*The map is called IX because in the Chaos story, the order that you fight against, the people who keep activating the artifacts are part of an organization called “The Nine”. Basically when whatever this stuff is made of, it was found a long time ago and it was deemed to be too unsafe for humanity, so 9 individuals formed together to protect it and keep its existence a secret. Inevitably though, they would become corrupted with this power. Milo has a really good video explaining why, but that’s just a brief explanation!*
I just got to the the voyage boss fight and I remember the night I did this with my friend, this for us was our hardest boss fight, as attempted it 4 times before and lost, but at 5:22 in the damn morning we finished the ee and we were so damn happy to go to sleep
The fact shadows isn’t dead last is crazy to me. Most got shit on for bein to easy. Shadows doesn’t even have a health bar, you just gotta shoot enough till he moves.
I just recently soloed the Dead of the Night and I can say, with no Homunculus and no Hellion Salvo, the werewolf bossfight is really fun! In part due to how broken the Alistair’s Annihilator is, but very rewarding for a first try solo run.
If you're going to into the beast from beyond boss fight without the mauler sentinel, you're asking to torture yourself. It's easily one of the easiest boss fights on top being the worst cuz of the certain exploits, also you kill the mammoths even before they spawn with the mauler.
@@simonballs2838 you get the mauler sentinel variant with the ego trip card and fmj. The crate that they spawn in. Yeah you can shoot through it and hit them both. Look up the boss run Speedrun for beast from beyond to get a better idea on how it works
You don’t need hellion for any of BO4 bossfights at all. Watch the speedruns lol even though I’m mainly casual (though I like to speedrun) I’ve never HAD to bring hellion in the fight. And now I rarely ever bring it in unless I want to ensure my survival. But at that point that’s like saying GK is bad because you need near death. But you don’t, just like you don’t need hellion 🤷♂️
valentina and lesion are both super good bosses..Cold war is overall such a solid zombies game. Other bosses kinda mid/bad but all maps on this game are fairly fun...worst map firebase cause of defend rounds though.
For me, the SoE boss fight is easier than revelations simply because you can control the amount of margwas and zombies. You can have a nice chill boss fight if you save like 2 or 3 zombies and then be very careful when shooting around them. Then if you mess up and a margwa spawns, just focus on the margwa before doing anything else. This can help just not make you panic. I also got into the boss fight round 14 solo with classic gobblegums
Every time I see Tags final fight I just remember my first time beating it… I survived the whole thing Took the zip line fell into lava, couldn’t find the stairs.. and died…
So true bro, I literally think bo4 had the best map ideas ever they were just so poorly executed. Put any of those maps in bo3 and they all become A or S tier maps
As embarrassing as it sounds, I've failed the firebase boss because i never fought the ordas before, and I ALMOST failed the zetsubou fight... but I got lucky with having a clone pod when i had the dire wolf, the kt4 AND all my perks thanks to a perkaholic i popped earlier, all i had to do was get the masamune again and get back to the fight
I'm surprised he didn't include mob in this list it would 100% be my number 1 because it depends on how good the player(s) are and you don't really need a meta gun and it's really different in that case
@@alteredizzy it kinda does though it depends on who you're playing take sal for instance you're playing against a buffed weasel depending who is playing the weasel it can be a difficult boss or an easy one
I remember doing the firebase z ee with my dad and we were so worried for the boss fight and took so long to get set up for it but it was just a disapointment
9 is called 9 cause it’s the ninth and final map of the epic streak treyarch started w mob. Mob, buried, origins, shadows, de, zetsubou, gk, rev and then 9 u could also say it’s the ninth map after blundell came in which probably makes sense either u don’t count the giant cause it’s a remake or u don’t count buried cause blundell didn’t make it
A nice thing is about iw is if you suck at ee like me someone can beat it then you can join them at the end before they get the soul key you still get the achievement
Beast From Beyond is the worst, doesn't help I tried doing solo Mephistopheles to beat Directors Cut so I had to do this Easter egg about 10+ times to finally beat him down
Yeah beast is not the greatest, but i think meph makes it worth it. and its not like the Beast from Beyond ee is that hard, so you don't waste a lot of time on the map itself
*I almost feel shame saying this, but I've been playing since 2009, Verruckt was my first map... I've never done a boss fight and the only EE I've ever done was CotD solo* 😢
When is the last time lex made an original video it's insane that everyone just pretends this is okay I can't believe people still allow him to react to their videos
Rev & shadows were terrible boss fights. All the miscellaneous running steps only to get super disappointed boss fights was a massive L. Really thing some of cold wars terrible bosses were influenced by the amazing responses the community gave to some of the bo3 maps
No sorry but the best gun in BO4 is the strife pistol that thing slaps, it carried me to high round all the time, everytime I played 9 I get the free pack version
I don’t even remember the Voyage Boss because of how bad everything leading up to the fight is. Kinda sad. I honestly prefer Blood of the Dead, I think Voyage is that bad.
I would rate orlov way lower, simply because he can't die. Makes the fight easy and feel like there's no stakes. I do like the navigation bit at the end.
True, the "treyarch" only map lists doesn't have the same standard of quality anymore. It used to be that Treyarch only basically just meant the best maps only...
None of the bosses on BO3 are anything close to difficult compared to CW. They're all dogshit easy, under 4mins easy. The great thing about BO3 is the EE steps to get the fight.
I never got to fight Meph because the stupid fucking alien boss fight is impossible unless you have the specific weapon variants because they're so fast and so numerous, then the big blues are so tanky. Worse than the actual extinction bosses.
No specific varients are needed, its just the mauler varient can cheese it because of how broken it is. doing it properly is much easier on solo, its only hectic when there is more people running around making it seem like they come from everywhere
It should be known that if you don't have a shield in the BoTD boss, when the carpenter would spawn, it spawns a shield for you to pick up.
Wow that’s actually fucking sick
Sick

AE IX and DotN are too low on too many people’s lists. They’re top 10 caliber
A parkour aspect to a boss fight in BO3 would not work lol. SoE, DE, and Rev's wall running is so finicky with plenty of bs downs.
Sometimes wall running just didn’t work.
I’d jump on the wall and I’d fall and die.

that's only the beginning of the fight really
there's a lot more steps after that
its because shadows bossfight is lackluster, but is isnt bad. It doesnt ruin the maps ending and make the easter egg unfun to run
It’s not even a boss fight 💀💀

For me Gorod was hard since when it released on Xbox, the Samantha glitch appeared and was unplayable for a good while till it was patched

I really hate how bullet spongy some of the bosses are.
