Sister Freide from Dark Souls 3 transforming a SECOND time was absolutely shocking to me. I for sure thought beating her and her father would've been the last phase, but then she powers up again 😂
The Annihilation fight was insane. Learning the moves and then the second stage flips that on you with the world swapping. It was an exhilarating fight that I wish I could experience for the first time again.
It was hard as hell while still learning it and I know people that swear, just like this video says, that it's pure luck if you can live through it or not... it's not though, there are only certain attacks that will transition and it gives you just enough time to see what's going to come at you that you can dodge it just fine if you're not button mashing. The amount of salt that Annihilation caused when the game was still new was incredible, especially when Nightweaver and Venom existed.
I recently dealt with that *THING*. It kept smoking my main AC until I ultimately made an AC based on Emerald Weapon from Final Fantasy. The T-Posing Green Demon from my nightmares stomped Mecha-Malenia good.
Sister Friede is my all time favorite boss by FromSoft. Everything is beautifully haunting: the music, the story, the arena. She just wanted you to leave and you destroy her entire world.
Should have mentioned that the guardian ape boss in sekiro also has a second optional boss fight if you passed the area first and man that boss fight is hard as a second ape comes to help the headless ape
For me it was almost all of the bosses because all of them took me 10s of tries. But that game is memorable for me because it gave me a bragging point against my friends. I managed to learn parry and be good at it and they couldn't so I could beat the final boss and they couldn't. They were forced to use cheats to beat him but even than the QTE part destroyed them😂😂😂.
Remember when sword saint isshin pulls up a spear on his 2nd phase, then starts firing shots at you with a gun? Lol. That was, for me, one of the most memorable transformation of a boss.
About Malenia. I suck at Souls games, and it was the second evening I tried to beat Malenia. Eventually I put Blood Tax on the Great Épée, and called the Mimic with this same equipment. In the fight I had to heal only the damage I got from calling the Mimic, and the Mimic, which was present from the first second of her first phase, finished her second phase on full health. Malenia's got severe allergy to Blood Tax.
Number 11 from EDF5 is a monster, that deserves all the hype. And it's second phase is soul crushing on the highest difficulty. (Not to mention the first time everyone reaches phase 2, you can feel them reenacting the Dafoe looking up meme.)
For those who are still struggling with Malenia, use dual wield great stars with 1 that has an ash of war with poison and the other with a cold ash of war. You will have the healing benefits that Malenia has and will proc frostbite and poison too.
Biggest gripe is with the remnant 2 boss. You 100% were making it harder on yourself. That boss is incredibly easy. Every time you need to dodge you get a distinct sound. You don’t even have to watch for anything. Just wait for the sound and roll
My number one is the Gatekeeper from Dynamite Headdy. Might be nostalgia talking but that transformation with the soundtrack kicking in is so badass. It turns from a joke fight to one of the hardest bosses in the game.
I think Guardian Ape was the most demoralizing one. Took me while to down the first stage, then he comes back up and moves so fucking weird it’s like “what the fuck nooooooo!” 😂
As already hard as Sister Friede is in DS3, I can assure you she's even more difficult as a spellcaster. She *will* dodge 9 out of 10 sorceries thrown her way.
I'm on my 1st playthrough of ER and my goodness what a game, I am in love with Souls Likes after playing Lies of P last year, so I'd say most of us don't mind seeing some of our favorite bosses in this list.
Don't forget about Radahn's second phase grab attack, in which he grabs you and Miquella whispers to you, which does no damage. But, if he succeeds in grabbing you a second time, you stop fighting and worship Miquella and you instantly lose.
Earthbound was super eerie, especially due to its abstract nature, overall atmosphere, timing, and all the context. Playing it at the age of 11 truly had a unique impact!
The guardian ape’s second phase in Sekiro is definitely easier, because it’s now using a sword which is easier to time with parrying. Parrying its claw swipes in the first phase was harder for me.
I'm kind of sad the Rat King from TLOU2 didn't at least make #20 or 19. I mean.. anyone who remembers playing that for the FIRST time as you're exploring that dark ass hospital knows what I mean. And it DOES count as a transforming boss. It technically has 3 stages, with the final stage being when the stalker peels off of it and you still have to find your way out and get past it. For some, it may not have been a "hard boss", not damn Elden Ring level hard or anything, but it was still scary and still counts.
I'm glad Remnant 2's final boss made the list. It's literally the first boss I thought of. The trick to surviving isn't luck or even your build, though of course that helps. It's SOUND CUES! the sound in Remnant 2 can be very informative. I've beaten the game twice on the hardest difficulty and that's what helped me most. That and getting gud 😁
I made it through all of DS3 without putting any points into life, Sister Friede broke me, every move one hit killed me, and the 3rd phase kept getting me. Finally went back and respec’d enough life to survive an attack and beat her.
Kicking it off with Midra, the Lord or Frenzy! My absolute favorite boss of the DLC! He's so cool looking, I always wanted a piece of him from the original game, and now I got it, literally! lmao
2:42 The Grime black hole head guy anyone?! He really looks like you're character in grime which is maaaaad. Elden ring keeps on giving even when it's not intentional.
Having the summoner archetype can really help with the final boss in Remnant 2. If you've got a friend with the Engineer archetype is can get even easier.
5:33 bro!! My wife bought me this for my birthday and oh boy the anxiety I had watching him transform and it was so amazing. My whole household was watching me fight. I die like 10 times but they stuck through and watched until I beat him. 🎉
Gannon from TotK, he doesn't get all that more difficult but the first time you phase him and watch his health bar try to leave the screen is an epic boss fight moment.
My all gatling gun tetrapod build solved most Armored Core 6 problems. Including the "Mech Melania" boss...or a similar build I had to switch to did for that. 🤣👍🏻
#19 he is weak from his right side. For some reason he doesn't have that many moves if you stay on his right side. You also interrupt his fire chain attacks if you disrupt when he is charging it
I’ll add the final boss in Pepper Grinder, which is an amazing Indy game that came out earlier this year. It took me a while and so many tries to beat the final boss, way harder than anything that came before. Highly recommend it. It’s only $15 and pretty short being only a few hours long, but it’s a lot of fun.
I think the most scary one is when the video cuts to a new number and the WHITE SCREEN flashes my eyes then proceeds to tell what number were on and me waiting for the inevitable next one 😂😂😂😂 I love the vid enough to voluntarily blind myself
The original Mortal Kombat came to my mind, there was a tricky transformation at the end. Also Forspoken worth to mention, from a magical friend to the final boss, that's a big transformation.
The one for Elden Ring is the first one that came to my mind too. Mostly that dang screen filling attack that surprised and hurt me in real life. My eyes burned that first time and had to basically close them each time after that. (Ps, was talking about number 20. Had commented before watching the whole video because was about to drive and didn't want to forget.)
In Ultrakill, after fighting Flesh Prison in P-1, you expect a reward. Instead, Minos Prime beats your ass red. They then also released P-2, where you first battle a really HARD gauntlet of enemies. Then you fight Flesh Panopticon, before Sisyphus Prime beats you so hard you`ll be shaking after finally beating him. There will also be P-3.
to be honest i think these are the times when second phases are the best, when you don't expect them and filled with dread that you just barely beat the first phase just to arrive at a tougher fight
Being good at any bullet hell game like gungeon or similar skill there actually translates pretty well to flying levels in cup head, the hard skills of locking your eyes on your character and not the boss and the fine weaving in between projectiles helps
I thought for sure the first boss in Wo Long was one you're supposed to lose, it kind of baffled me when it wasn't. And then in the second phase I thought this time you're supposed to lose for sure. It was actually a super fun boss to learn and very satisfying once you get through.
For some reason I had an easier time with the second form than I did the first. Wasn't used to how the parry mechanic functioned and constantly wiffed it on his human form. Parrying the demon arm slams and stabs were much easier because of the windup time
Not even an honorable mention for the horrific experience of fighting Giratina in Legends Arceus? Right when we were thinking it's finally down after it wiped almost our entire team, the mad boss just charges up and changes it's form. That was quite the experience, and a first for Pokemon games, which I was really expecting to be somewhere in this list.
I have never died to Yunalesca. I struggled against the guardian dragon thingy, so I restarted the game to grind a bit. As a result, when I first encountered Yunalesca, I completely curb stomped her.

The ultimate scary boss transformation is dad taking his belt out.
I have subs 😅
Lmao. Especially when they come home from work during their lunch hour to take a nap, and mid-nap remember they have to whoop you. Then they're extra pissed and that belt is extra scary.
Nah it's after his fifth beer and the shirt comes off

That Midra boss music is some of the best of the entire series.
Absolutely. His OST is definitely my favorite in Elden ring
The cutscene is so brutal, gave me chills.
Why did they call him Midra when he's clearly Peakra
The merchant violin song but all dissonant within that music gave my little musician heart a second wind in that fight
Sister Freide from Dark Souls 3 transforming a SECOND time was absolutely shocking to me. I for sure thought beating her and her father would've been the last phase, but then she powers up again 😂
"[Fromsoft] has never made another 3 stage boss [since dark souls 3]"

Love the name you gave Ibis " Mechalaina", perfect nickname for one of the craziest bosses in Armored Core.
She took me an hour bro of resets😭 I half the time couldn’t even see her

Unless the boss heals when it whacks you, it’s not anything like Malenia (Blade of Miquella)
and I have never known defeat.

Souls likes are my favorite games. Keep em coming

For those who are still struggling with Malenia, use dual wield great stars with 1 that has an ash of war with poison and the other with a cold ash of war. You will have the healing benefits that Malenia has and will proc frostbite and poison too.
Gascoigne turning into that gd beast almost stopped me from playing video games in general
