      I'll tell you what boss gave my wife the most trouble -- the dragon from Spiritfarer. You can't "die" or "lose" or anything, and to anyone who's played ANY platformers it's pretty simple. But watching her "battle" this thing was one of the most nerve-wracking experiences I've ever had.

      @@Leo-pd4fc Not entirely, but there is a section toward the beginning that sort of feels like a boss fight. Big creature several screens large, screen turns dark, menacing urgent-sounding music, patterns to learn and techniques to use. Like I said, you can't actually lose or die but you can take forever to beat it and get frustrated and quit before then -- if you're very very new.
      This was literally the first videogame (other than Solitaire and an iPad-based puzzle game) my wife had ever played in her life, so without the decades-long experience playing all kinds of games, it was all new -- and she struggled A LOT. And it was a nail-biter to watch -- will she persevere and beat the boss or will she give up and quit playing either temporarily or permanently? She did end up beating it but it was tense.

      Nah, the hardest part is not choking like hell after 40 minutes of other fights. So much of PoH is just muscle memory and overpowering the hell out of early/mid game bosses until you get to the last set, then it's just a nightmare - Markoth, Zote, Failed Champion, NKG, a tiny breather then Pure Vessel and AbsRad.

      In a normal playthrough, i would argue that dracula is a little harder (because of the wolf + beam combo). However, when I was playing a no-hit boss playthrough, Blackmore was probably the hardest boss (excluding Eligor, trash boss). Dracula second phase can be cheesed using Volaticus, Albus was basically sliding -> hasta -> sliding over and over again. Barlowe was probably the second hardest, Globus can be absorbed, the ice attack was easy to dodge, and the fire attack was basic dodging patterns. Blackmore first phase was easy with Nitesco, but the second phase took some time for me (the hardest part was definitely the meteor + lunge attack, the gap for jumping was less than comfortable)

The goat head boss in Circle of the Moon and one of the Dracula fights that was on pillars where one hit would knock you off..Among a few others

      Whether or not Dead Cells is a Metroidvania is a matter of debate (personally, I consider it a roguelike but not a Metroidvania, as part of Metroidvanias are collecting “keys” (abilities) that open “locks” (areas you can’t access or transverse without the requisite key.)
      I agree Dead Cells’ final boss is tough as any on here, but I suspect it was excluded for the same reason I would exclude it.
      Side note- the same argument would go for Hades from Hades once you get to 64 heat on the Pact of Punishment.

      a good number of the bosses listed (from the games i played) aren't hard they are actually very easy you just need to know how to use abilities and read attacks something i think these guys lack in ability to do. if you want a boss that's "Hard" play GRIME and fight Dreamborn Terror a superboss with 6 phases and is not slow despite it being a combat metroidvania, the only way i killed the boss on it's last 3 phases was by abusing a ability with a consumable (think of using a healing spell or on an undead enemy)

      Use Sarmiento and Centella for the fight, the second hit from his 3-hit combo is parryable and you can smack the hell outta him. When he loses his mind and starts with the AoE attacks, just run in a direction and don't dash instantly after he appears, just wait a few steps before dashing and he won't hit you. I killed him on the 4th or 5th try in my first playthrough, I was lucky to choose S&C as my first option 😋

      Eviterno is honestly vastly overhyped on his difficulty, he's fast but you can literally just slide for most of his attacks, and he has no contact damage making him very forgiving for a Blasphemous boss, I personally found Odon much harder in B2, and Isidora as the hardest overall in the Blasphemous series

    Absolute Radiance does have some bullshit moments at times with it combining attacks here and there with the beams and the flying swords. If you haven’t beaten it before, you really should save your soul for the 2nd phase to heal before it starts.
    The 2nd phase at first glance is very difficult if you chase it constantly but waiting on the bottom platform does make it pretty easy. The balls that follow you constantly hit other platforms while trying to chase.
    The hardest part for me is the climb. While it is easily doable without taking damage, you do have to find the right rhythm and if you don’t you could easily get hit by a ray it sends 3 or 4 times. And the final phase is pretty easy. Stay on the left platform and pogo on it three times every time it comes to the middle or the left.
    It really is a very tough fight to beat for the first time, especially with it being double damage so a couple mistakes ending your run which is devastating on P5 but once you beat it once or twice, you really get super comfortable with it and the hall of gods really makes that super easy since you can fight it over and over.
