[General Discussion] Favorite Boss Fights

Eventually realizing to freeze him with the nitrogen tanks, the final shot completely took me by surprise. I expected him to die in the typically boring overexaggerated and lumbering fall to the ground, but seeing him shatter to a dozen pieces while frozen brought about an excited whoop from me.

What the holy crap? I didn't know you could kill him. I always figured jumping into the elevator was the only way to finish the fight, and just leave him hangin' up in the power room. Well, you learn something new every day, i'll have to remember that for my next play through.

I love the lake boss in RE4 (name escapes me). I'm creeped out by lakes, i don't know why, i just am. Part of it is cause i have an over active imagination, and seeing stuff like that boss, and jaws, and whatnot kinda makes me edgy when i'm in the water. I know i have nothing to worry about, but it just really gets me every time i go swimming. This boss really played off that fear, especially when Leon gets knocked out of the boat, i always tap A as fast as i humanly can to get back into the boat.

Another underwater boss i really like was the fight with Ursella in Kingdom Hearts. Her second form is huge. I think at that point, you're about the same size as her eye. It just creeped me out, which made it memorable.

Pretty much any boss from any Zelda game has great memories for me. My favourite over all would have to be Odolwa in the Woodfall temple in Majora's Mask. I still remember the first time i fought him. My sister was watching, and she hates video games. In the end, even she said wow, with a genuine look of awe on her face, as i finished him off with one quarter of a heart left.

I really like the fight with Bull in the castle centre in Castlevania 64. You never stop moving, always running, and attacking in the prescious few chances you get. It makes for one intense fight.

I really like alot of the bosses in Metriod Prime 1 and 2. I really like the big Rock boss in the first one (can't remember the name). I remember having so much trouble with that one, but after i got the hang of it, it was still challenging, but adrenalin pumping.

How ya doing, buddy?

I remember Yunalesca. I also had massive amounts of trouble with her. She's the reason i was so powerful when i finished the game. After i found out that Holy did 9999 damage, i went on a quest to get Yuna to learn Holy, but didn't even end up using it cause of it's MP cost. But along with that, came everyone's levels shooting through the roof, and i was able to just barely scrape by, and breezing through the rest of the game.

Qwarky: I remember one fight with him when i had tipped over every nitrogen tank, and shot him each time but he didn't die. It might've been cause it was with my shotgun and not my magnum (i have an obsession with saving magnum ammo).

After i didn't kill him, i figured he just didn't die, and you just had to run away from him. On my next play through, i'll go all the way.

How ya doing, buddy?
