Brutal Boss Battles

This is the final part of this boss battle mini series. Short and sweet, not all of these are truly brutal as a boss battle, but it's another B word, and the ones below are interpreted differently each in their own kind of ways.

Isshin The Sword Saint

An awesome satisfying finale with an opponent technically consisting of 4 phases, switching between swordplay and gunplay. Patience and waiting for the right moment here really is the way to acquire victory and be done with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice!

Yatsu No Kami

I actually hate this snake boss, for it represents the crushing difficulty spike inside Nioh 2, and is the reason I dropped the game last month. By now, I have defeated it, and it most likely isn't the hardest boss in the game, but it did broke me in a way, so yeah, it had an impact.

Giygas

A fascinating final boss with a creepy presence, a unique way of defeating it, and several theories as to what the heck Giygas is all about in terms of motivation, form and it's connection with the rest of Earthbound.

Lavos

Another classic final SNES boss that just exists to consume up worlds literally, bound through different time eras. First you fight it in an unwinnable way, then you fight segments of it, and then you technically fight 3 entirely different phases of it each being  intriguing in their own ways.

Dr.Weil

My favorite Mega Man villain, I love how hard you can hate this Dr.Wily look a like, the way his psychotic personality and manipulative motives are so messed up, and the buildup towards finally being able to face off in part 4, he really is Zero's arch nemesis. Sure, the battles themselves aren't that special, but the way he reasons and shouts out stuff as ideals being nonsense makes him very memorable.
