From the games you have played, which boss battle was the most intense? (List more if you can't decide)

Pre-Nerf Consort Radhan: Elden Ring (This broke me. I felt nothing but relief...and honestly, It may have killed my interest in video games)
Defiled Watchdog: Bloodborne (my build was just not geared toward him)
Seikro: Isshin (just for how freakin long one had to be perfect to win).
 
Intensity I guess that Sekiro has a lot

But I can say that when I got into Sam in Metal Gear Rising... Wasn't just about difficulty but the whole situation in their world
 
In no order and just to list some really cool and epic ones.

RE1/RE1 Remake - Tyrant the Ultimate Life Form
RE2 - Super Tyrant/G3/G4/G5
RE3 - Nemesis in the Clock Tower with Carlos and later at the dead factory with Jill
RE Outbreak - Thanatos 2nd form
Final Fantasy IV - Zeromus as well as most bosses
Final Fantasy IX - Trance Kuja and Necron as well as most bosses
Final Fantasy X- Final Aeon as well as most bosses
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - Ganondorf/Ganon
The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask - All the Bosses
Ratchet and Clank Up your Arsenal - Bioblitorator
Warcraft 3 - Archimonde
Starcraft - Overmind
World of Warcraft - Lots and lots of bosses
Stellar Blade - the non robot final boss choice
Elder Scrolls 3 - Modded Dagoth Ur and Almalexia
Elder Scrolls Skyrim - Modded Alduin, Harkon, and Miraak.

Many more but can't remember at the moment.
 
Sekiro: Isshin.

Not the most difficult (I had more trouble with the Demon of Hatred), but the most fun and intense for me.


Noteworthy many Khazan bosses, this game has so many intense boss battles, specially the last one the true end.

Also, Lies of P at launch. The bosses were strong and the playable character was quite weak, one mistake and he was dead.

In the context of me playing at the time as a small child:

IG-88 in Shadows of the Empire on N64. Absolute sweaty palms nightmare fuel. The music leading up to the battle, the crazy sounds he makes, the clunky controls. My relief upon finally defeating him washed over me like a wave.
 
Khimaira FFXI - As a tank this was fun, intense and sometimes a long battle due to its location and getting the back up when it spawned, If stunners were not paying attention Tourbillion said hello, When Hauteclaire dropped chat filled with OMG OMFG 😀 amazing times take me back.
 
Has to be smart in my opinion cause souls bosses are all about memorizing their moves and their counter attacks, that just takes time but not smart. Something from Platinum or Capcom like Metal Gear Rising, Monster Hunter Wild or id, Gearbox, Raven like Doom, Hexen, Duke Nukem.

For anyone who played NES in the 80's it was an achievement, celebrated around the block and school yard. You became a legend 'Hey that Kid little Jimmy just took down Mike!' VHS recording for evidence. intense times.

Damn, that was quite something. Infuriating. The previous one was also a bastard.
 
Not a final boss per se' but Warmech in Final Fantasy 1 was a 1/100 encounter on this small bridge toward the end of the game. It may not actually have been the case but I remember this being harder than the actual game bosses.
 
Flamelurker from Demon's Souls, that mf has no patern, it just jumps around and set everything ablaze while hunting you, first time till I won fighting against that boss was intense as hell
Orphan of Kos from Bloodborne The Old Hunters, that mf has attacks straight out of anime, really crazy, satisfaction of beating it after a few tries (only because I was way overleveled) was so good, amazing boss battle I'll never forget
I know it's not "hard" in comparison to many other games, but the fight with the minotaur in the first GOW was so epic to me, not only because of the fight and the satisfaction of finally defeating it, but because of the disrespect thrown at you everytime you fail, asking to change the difficulty when you keep dying lmao
 
Lud and Zallen from Dark Souls 2, the run back is the worst I've ever experienced and as a pair they are relentlessly frustrating.

Fatalis in Monster Hunter World is also really difficult, especially if there is a large skill differential in your party. I haven't defeated him alone yet, haven't tried that much but still.


Nemesis from Returnal was very high stakes and cinematic, had my blood pumping give the roguelike nature of each run and how difficult it was getting to the fight, plus all the ways you could get killed in a loooong fight.


Promised Consort and Melania from Elden Ring also high on the list, if only for their second phase and how quickly things can devolve.


The final battle in 13 Sentinels was also really intense, not a traditional boss battle but it had me on the edge of my seat.


From my childhood I would also throw in there Phantom Ganon from OoT's forest temple, and Lance/champion elite 4 battle from Pokémon RBY.

I came here to say this. Nameless King is so, so good.

Really? Back in the day I though was bullshit. Is an optional boss right? Meh, even if it is I was using a heavy slow build and a upgraded weapon that the boss was resistant to. All that plus the shitty camera. Not worth my time learn the moveset.
 
I could pick any boss fight on Devil Survivors or Shin Megani Tensei Strange Journey or IV but Mem Aleph. Got squashed many times before I eventually beat her.
 
Most people have mentioned some of my picks, but I would also say Adam Smasher post patch 2.1 is finally a good and intense boss fight. They finall gave him Sandevistan.
