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).

 

[Rivdoric]

50% of Sekiro bosses to the point that it was exhausting and not rewarding in the end, juste pure angriness.

 

[deriks]

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

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.

My ranking:
1. Solid Snake versus Liquid snake in MGS1 and MGS4.
2. Kratos versus Ares in God of war 1.
3. Eve versus Raven and also Elder Naytiba in Stellar blade.

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.

 

[TaciturnWolf]

The true final boss of Silksong. Good grief that last phase was insane.

 

[Brigandier]

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.

 

[BennyBlanco]

And last but not least...

hilarious how the hardest boss is right in the beginning. at least the boss music is 10/10. smt4 rules.

 

[Ryūtō]

spoilers obviously. Judgment final boss.

That last boss was some of the greatest cinema in gaming.
