A looooooooot of final fantasy entries 😂😂😂. Before I even watched I was about to say I know there's gonna be at least a few entries. Great watch as always 👊🏿
👍🏼
@@gameranxTV an honorable mention would be minerva from ff7 crisis core reunion. That boss can take anywhere from 2-4 hours (77 million hp, single character party)
@gameranxTV Ganon from the legend of zelda twilight princess took me 4 hours to beat
@@Mr.Z.Rex.44Z What? There's no way. Like, one attempt took 4 hours? If that's true then I'm shocked you were even able to get that far. That fight takes like 30 minutes max
@Skaftholu I got stuck on the second forum for 4 hours I kept healing
Play 1-2 hours daily, waste all that time on one boss and die. Repeat that everyday until you uninstall the game. Boss defeated.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
You didn’t defeat anyone but yourself by uninstalling
@@DOC_951 Are you sure about that? Motherf*cker don't know what hit him.
@@DOC_951it is called valuing your time.
Player 1=Hey bro i beat dmc 1-5 and ninja gaiden 1 2 3. Can you recommend me new games
Player 2= i have yet not beaten ds 1 and elden rings 😢😢😢
Exactly. These games are not made for us working/family people
That ultima boss fight was incredible
Happy to hear it😅about to finish the game now
Love the bosses and theme songs of FF16, best parts of that otherwise crapfest. Ultima was a beast to fight!
@@e.0912enjoy it. imo ff16 perfected final bosses and endings. just bring tissues
Dude I finally beat leviathan that first tsunami is so stressful on the countdown!!
One of the best final boss fight imo
That FF16 Bahamut fight from start to end is one of the most epic things there is
The game peaked on that level
Bahamut is up there when i think of my favorite bosses ever.
The only good part of that trash heap of a game.
@@SilverDreamweaver cry more
@@SilverDreamweaver the game was really great but its flaws were just extremely extremely flawed. The progression system was abysmally bad.
This is why I love the bosses in FromSoftware's games. You can usually beat them in a minute or two, but it might take you hours of practice to do so (at least when you're new to the games)
Unless it's Malenia. It always took forever to beat her unless you were "Let Me Solo Her."
It is not about practice. It is about luck. Pure trial and error.
And it is nonsensical to boot. You are essentially dying, then going back in time, and rinse and repeat.
A good boss fight would be one where you would struggle at first, observe and learn the boss's behaviour and weaknesses, then learn to exploit them - all within a reasonable amount of time, in a single attempt with no dying & reloading i.e. cheating involved.
@@KK-fi6mssounds like you gotta get good.
True. Malenia beat my ass for days before I finally took her down lol😅
@@KK-fi6ms😂you are just wrong. There is zero luck involved. Zero. You just suck at the game
Ultima was great, didn't feel long at all to me, just epic.
As a city of heroes vet, those hami raids were hell.
Yesss omg I was confused when they mentioned Ultima, I don't remember it being long and that me crying cuz of what happened before that, I did it just fine it was an epic fight but not long and it too hard.
The key word from SE was legitimately beating absolute virtue in that time. I was in a guild that equipped kraken clubs on off hands to all DPS so you could outspam him before he could go through his phases. We did it in 10 minutes which led to SE patching him in a way where he couldn't be beaten so easily.
Thanks to That I stopped wasting my life on online games.
A buddy of mine told me about a time he and his friends tried to take absolute virtue on ps2. He said they would sleep in shifts cause it took so long. When they got a quarter of his health bar down, he healed back to full. That was after 72 hours, he said fuck it after that.
“Do people know the energizer bunny anymore?”
Damn😭 am I old?
They make current commercials with the bunny.
Yes, people know the bunny, and, yes, you are getting old.
Is that like the play boy bunny?
The bunny was a cool mascot
sorry but ain't that the Duracell bunny? not Energizer?
I used to play Final Fantasy XI and I remember when Those 2 bosses dropped. My god. If I remember correctly when they finally Beat Absolute Virtue by basically having everyone in the alliance (36 players) except one who would have a re-raise spell on them. Re-Raise allowed them to get back up on their own after being KO'd. So when the party wipe attack was about to hit, everyone except the one with Re-Raise Forced DC'd (forced a disconnect from the internet) , I'm not kidding. Everyone in the Alliance was in whatever chat program that was being used back then I have no idea what it was. The dead player Raised themself and told the rest it was ok. so when they logged back in since it was due to an internet issue they were still part of the alliance, then they finished the fight. Square was a bit upset about this to say the least.
Actually Chakravartin is a Sanskrit word meaning Ruler of the Universe... chocolate bar reference was epic LOL
Ruler of the universe… chocolate bar… I’m sure there’s a connection there somewhere.
Thought it was Chakravarti.
@@GamingNationShm chakravartin is the root word for chakravarti
@@GamingNationShmChakravarthi is derived from the Sanskrit word Chakravarthan
Ultima was an amazing fight. That music keeps you in it!
I remember grinding to get every ultimate weapon, including Tournesol, and getting every character to max level just in preparation for Yiazmat only for my save data to end up getting corrupted. An entire summer break ruined.
I feel that pain
Seitengrat
@@confusciouspuff5701 Seitengrat wasn't in the original NA version of the game on PS2.
Those are the absolute WORST things. I cant remember what game it was because I deleted it and never went back to it. But I had put in months on top of MONTHS of hard work. Got to about level 85 or something like that. One day I turned it on, ready to play, and suddenly "Save file corrupted" I tried for the longest time to try to fix it and nope, "Save file corrupted" I was still a teenager so I sat on the edge of my bed in silence for a minute.... then my controller was raised above my head and soon after it met the floor with great force. Deleted the game and I aint played it since. I wish I could remember what game it was lmao.
Oh man, tournsol was the worst to get. I avoided it. On the plus after you beat yizamat you get the worm hero blade which is a real combo machine in FF12
This question comes to mind with very long boss fights: "Is this your final form???"
Hey guys congrats on 8 mil subscribers!! You’re doing something right :) first TH-cam channel and only channel I turned on notifications for. Always excited to wake up and catch up on new games and everything. Keep it up!!
Random bonus: 24hr races from Gran Turismo.
Not technically a boss fight but making multiple 24hr races a part of beating the game. Almost lost 2 playstations trying it
I have a faint memory of a racing game that allowed (or maybe even required) you to do 24 hour races *in real time*.
It's actually crazy how good FF12 looks considering it was back on the PS2.
Wouldn't be surprised if they used the HD versions, but yeah, the models hold up pretty well
Until you cast holy and had to wait 8 seconds while the ps2 loaded the spell and the computer ai kept attacking you.
Great fucking game
that is the very high HD version. The original game looks nothing like that. (I still played the original, I don't care too much about it)
Game is sooo much better on the Zodiac Age with the fast forward option
I know Yiazmat would be on the list
I prepared a comment about Yiazmat before clicking on the video. 50 million HP, 50 health bars. 🤣
@@El_Duderino83 Bro.... I saw the title and came to make this comment. Got beat not just once, but multiple times.
I didn't beat Yiazmat because he got me with his Reflect trick. He went from 3 health bars left back up to 50. I almost cried.
Meh. With the right set up, he could be beaten on autopilot like every battle in that shit game. Just had to cross your fingers he didn't heal.
SCREAM LOUDER, I WANT TO REMEMBER THIS
The real pronunciation for ‘Chakravartin’ should be Chakra-Varti it is take from ancient Indian title for a king with huge kingdom
I'm too old for long boss battles, I don't have the time or patience anymore.
Maybe you just don’t have the attention span anymore
@@danieldukette5321 I don't know what you said because I got distracted by a squirrel halfway through reading.
@@aliasfakename2267 love love it 🤣
The Ur Dragon in Dragons Dogma is worth mentioning. It had some online mechanics, but I never did see that thing at low health.
Yeah the whole playerbase online played a part in chipping its health away over time if im remembering right. I never saw him killed
@@mikec5400 After a dozen or more tries, I got lucky enough to be there when it died. Since it was absolutely the most endest of endgame content, the rewards were totally not worth the effort.
Nyx Avatar always comes to mind even if its not as long as some of these. Particularly in the original.
Phases for days then night queen in the final phase so you get to watch your party heal the boss and wipe itself (yay charm...)
Not sure if a full Destiny 2 raid counts as a "boss fight" but some of the day 1 raid races took 18-19 hours to complete
Darn it Falcon! Now I want me a chakravartin bar. It surely sounds delicious!
Boy it brings back memories to hear BtL again. The pure *chaos* of these fights back in the day, the near *anger* that we were paying to do that stuff.
Eventually it got to the point where PW and AV were farmable if you had good people, but the absolute trolling and disrespect from SE in this game for its playerbase at this time was insane.
By the way, it should be said that to even *spawn* PW, you had to go through an extremely extensive tiered farm of different NMs to collect their drops until you could farm your way up to the key item to spawn PW. You could only hold one at a time, of course, being a key item. The reason to kill PW was ostensibly to get the drop to make a mythic weapon, some of the most powerful weapons in the game at the time (and probably still, considering what they are). PW dropped 1, maybe 2 of this item upon death. You needed 3. The eventual final Afterglow version would cost you 150 (though they didn't put this in until well after PW was, you know, killable).
Should do a video on the longest raids in games
Great video❤
I played FFXI when it came out and I remember grinding up levels and then once I hit a new level, I bought all new armor and weapons and then I got killed. Back then, dying made you lose XP and I deleveled and couldn’t wear my new gear and I had sold all my old gear and that was when I quit FFXI.
i quit when i died on the 30 minute boat ride
An honorary should go to Adamantoise from FFXV. I know its not a boss per say, but it is kind of a boss for the hunt side quests. The first time I fought it it took about 2 hours.
Ugh, that fight was so bad. So incredibly boring and it took way too long. Though honestly that describes most of FFXV, that game was such a disappointment.
I'll never forget absolute virtue. I heard rumors from the server that this thing was the thing to beat. I never got a chance to fight it. But it was so hyped up, I always wanted to. Unfortunately the Gil sellers made it too difficult to play the game. And I had to retire. RIP Heiyu.
12:05 YES. I watched my friend at the time fight Yazmat for 8-9 hours to beat it. I went over to his house at around noon on a Saturday, had enough time to nap there, and he was still going at it at 8:30 that night.
I love when they do ones like this. Keep up great work guys.
Yo love you Falcon and Gameranx... Always look forward to watching your videos...💛
You made me cry at 4:50 ish area bro! Can't believe Zophar from at least Lunar Eternal Blue for Sega CD wasn't mentioned and that was a tiered/storyline final boss (not counting post story)
how am I so early to the last few of these just wanted to say you guys make the most entertaining lists on youtube thank you for giving me something to shut my brain off to
I had no idea there were bosses that take that long. That's an eye opener.
Great video, people are crazy! There’s always someone and amusing to see what they’ll willingly suffer through in video games 😁😵💫
started my first FF game with the FFX HD recently and yeah I am not used to those loooong boss fights.
Dark yojimbo is brutal
I remembered beating Yiazmat back in PS2 era. I beat it around 3+ hours. The key is to always have Hastega cast to your party.
I've been in my share of long raids but those kind of hrs are crazy!
Just to add on the City of Heroes MMO. the Homecoming server officially got licensed by NC Soft this year, so basically it's back again, it's no longer a private server and that makes me happy. I'm also stoked that you guys even covered it! Sorry, my CoH/V fanboying is showing. And yeas, old Hami was a pain in the ass in the olden days for sure but it was worth it.
It's wild how much more powerful we are now in FFXI. I've soloed both of those fights.
3:35 "Bigger than a galaxy!" -Shows something a small fraction the size of Earth.
I remember spending over an hour fighting the final boss of Star Ocean The Last Hope. I had a healer and had to have my mage set to healing as well and even then my two melee fighters would go down from time to time. They would get resurrected and then back to hitting the thing and over an hour later it finally died. They had to be resurrected over a dozen times.
we always made up stories in school of obscure MMO fights that needed 50 people to fight for 20 hours straight. no idea if they were ever real
Sure ff11 at one point had a boss guilty of this
Nah ask any classic WoW or Everquest player. These fights were ridiculous
EverQuest Luclin had some ungodly boss fights. The longest one that I remember was roughly 4 1/2 hours for a guild of 40 people fighting a single boss. But that doesn’t take into account the 15 to 20 hours it took to get to that boss.
And then there are the aberrations: I was once on a plane of fear corpse retrieval that took three days, working in shifts 24 hours a day. That was just stupidly long.
WoW's Alteric Valley could take over a day to finish, though it's a PVP encounter. It has boss battles though and while the final one was tough, it was the defense from other players that really made it take an eternity and a half.
Asura's Wrath is one of the greatest cinematic games of all time. The Chakravartin DLC did NOT disappoint with how nuts the fight was. You fistfight GOD bro.
JRPG final/secret/true bosses in a nutshell
Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits - final boss took me easily 7-8 hours. Stupid eyeball.
Content like this that reminds me of the dungeons from Mabinogi (Online MMO still up today). The bosses themselves weren't always super long, but the DUNGEONS could take FOREVER if you haven't memorized the entire thing, even if you did memorize them, many of them were randomized so they were never the same unless you used the EXACT same item to open the dungeon, every single time. Even something as simple as 1 gold instead of 2 gold could result in a totally different dungeon layout.
Many of the dungeons required LOTS and LOTS of backtracking through multiple floors if you happened to forget to grab a key that you missed along the way. Add on to that the ridiculously slow nature of your character's running speed and most people just said F*** it and purchased a fast mount using real money to run or fly through dungeons faster.
Because of how annoying it could be to die in the game throwing money at this actually quite enjoyable game was and still is a big part of the game even today 16 years after it launched in the USA(20 years if you count the original Korea release) and it still has a very loyal fanbase.
I still find myself jumping into it every now and then because they CONSTANTLY add more and more content. Voice acted scenes and just gorgeous visuals have become a relatively new part of the game and the art style of the game still looks GORGEOUS to this day.
But it's fun when we're the Boss!
The Sniper one from Metal Gear Solid
Its not long, when i beated him the first time it took me longer to figure out where was the exit them deafeating him, and i was out of ammo and went with punch him in the face ( or in this case kick) tecnic ( i assumed you talking of the mgs3 one, the only mgs game i havent play his mgs4 so if it as longer figth thats on me)
MMOs are the worst type of games that don’t respect your time or well being at all. I should know. Played a handful of them my whole life.
Newer mmos are a lot better at letting you work towards something and keep your progression, like with FF14 or Guild Wars 2 for example
Love it when Falcon gives these old references 😂
You should have given honorary mention to Kojima wanting to make the fight with The End in MGS3 last two irl weeks.
This ain't a "what if" list.
@@marianrucareanu8802you’re fun at parties i bet
@@marianrucareanu8802 Do you know what an "honorary mention" is?
@sppl623 why are you booing me? i'm right.

I wonder if he's gonna mention Absolute Virtue?
"and at number 01 ..."
oh. of course.
Yo his commentary was crazy that break me off that piece of chakravartin had me rolling
It's funny how both FFXI and WoW came out in the same year (at least in the US, 2004, XI came out in 2002 in Japan), especially when looking at the boss fights on this list (and other MMOs that came before). Where they had bosses that would last over an hour, most vanilla WoW bosses were, at most, 15ish minutes. And you can cut that time down even further because of WoW Classic and the obscene amount of knowledge players had, it's mind boggling how WoW basically changed what was seen as 'acceptable' in the MMO scene.
Square even took the gameplay style and structure of WoW into account when FFXIV 2.0 released.
I Liked the vid strictly for the Asura's Wrath shoutout, love that game.
The candy bar joke had me dying 🤣
RE: EQ it was not the orignal version of EQ. It was during Scars of Verilous (sp), expansion. This was the first expansion of the game.
Man, i remember the old school Hami raids. Painful and insane.
Good to see Yiazmat on the list.... that damn dragon took me 6 hours to beat, good old traumas... I mean memories yes memories.
Congrats on reaching 8m @Gameranx!
I kinda knew what some of the entries were gonna be, great times as a gamer facing these iconic bosses at least me😅
I remember having to deal with the secret final boss in the first Octopath Traveler game and when I realized that I had to fight it again in Octopath Traveler 2, I just didn't bother with it because it took me years just to try and level up everyone just to be prepared for it in the first Octopath Traveler game.
The longest boss fight I ever played was The Dark Lord in Doom Eternal's 2nd DLC. The first time I fought him and before I learned the rhythm of it, it took me almost two hours because he healed on every hit he made. If you didn't use that stupid Sentinel Hammer, you just weren't going to beat him. Plus, he has 3 forms that are exactly the same just with a different background and faster attacks. I can beat him pretty quick now but that first time was a nightmare and the worst part of Doom Eternal.
Hellblade Hela fight, didn’t realize you were supposed to let yourself die lol
I used to run the Phantom Army team for Hamidon on Protector. Not sure if its a method that others servers developed, but I was the one to start it on mine, Good times.
Dude. I never knew there was boss fights that took a long time. The max i knew is FromSoft hard bosses. This is on a whole new level of hard. 😮
I would love to see a video like this withOUT MMO raid bosses.
Like what are all the longest single player bosses
funnily enough Falcon you said exactly what my comment was going to be about Yiazmat, to the point my friend and I would watch anime for hours and go back and see how the battle was going.
I never felt the ultima bos fight(s) took that long
Legend of Dragoon's Final Boss was quite something.
I was surprised he wasn't on here as he easily took longer than the first 2 entries.
The ultima boss fight is amazing and incredibly fun.
Chakravartin was such a fun fight it didn't feel like it was very long. We definitely need a remaster for Aura's Wrath, that or a legitimate anime of it
The real final boss of FF 11 was making your account and figuring out how to actually register your game and play the damn thing
Honestly didn't notice the time in the Ultima boss fight, felt like it flew by.
I know it's technically not a boss fight but the endless setlist 2 in rockband 2 has you play all 84 songs of the base game. It takes about 6 hours to complete with no breaks, and if you pause and take a break or fail a song you cannot get the steel bladder achievement.
Absolute Virtue will never be topped. As a XI player in that era, everything about AV (as it was called) was cheap. There was so much more to this boss than the video even gets into. AV was truly enigmatic, but fortunately players eventually beat him using a glitch which was quickly patched.
The flippin' burgers for minimum wage, game, man that was dope 😂
I was a FFXI player. AV and Warden was skipped by most LS. It was a bloodbath.
Remember ppl used to think Adamantoise was a long fight..gameranx called it a 72 hour fight till we jus had a decent setup n killed him in about 9 mins.
I hear what he’s saying about lengthy battles, but it kind of puts you in the characters shoes. I imagine they must be running on empty if they were real. It’s an interesting way to make the victory feel that much better.
Love you guys! Hope all
Is going good
God! And I thought the last four bosses in Stellar Blade was long.
I remember the energizer bunny.
The energizer bunny joke at the beginning reminded me of a similar joke from two and half men all the way back in the day (wow I feel old)
Switch around ff16 and 7 rebirth my man. At least we had pretty cinematics and cutscenes between phases. 7 rebirth is exhausting, takes for freaking ever, and when you're finally done it throws you into a surprise battle! and if you're not prepared for it, good luck clicking the correct button to restart it without wasting hours of your time!!
When I fought yazmat I just turned on auto cast reverse on party so his attacks healed and everyone else kept hammering away. I feel asleep for a few hours and they were still fighting.
Not one boss fight but the Zack VR mission in VII Rebirth took me like 2 days.
Malenia Blade of Miquella really deserves a spot on this ranking. It took me 4 hours to beat her and I was covered in sweat and completely drained when it was finally over.
Unfortunately, this list isn't taking into account the time it takes to learn how to fight a boss. Lol If you know what you're doing, she takes like 5 mins give or take.
"Chakravarti" is a sanskrit word meaning ruler of world kinda, it was a title given to some kings. Just fyi.
This looks fuckinnggg goodddd ! Damn i can’t wait it’s been awhile a game has made me this hype and i only got into this game with the last one
Dragon Quest 8 Draconian Armor quest was an insane fight as well.
"Does anybody know about the energizer bunny"? Bro made me feel old asf....lmao
interesting list, gotta say that ive never played any of these games
I fought Yazmat for a combined 16 hours back when FFXII first came out almost 20 years ago. I didn't want to give up until I died fighting, and that ended up prevented me from progressing through the rest of the game. Months went by. Sometimes I'd get drunk and decided to go a few more rounds, which contributed to total completion time. It was otherwise such a slog to go through, but I eventually did it! There were no trophies for PS2 games at the time, so the only reward was completing the hunts along with rare equipment.
My honorable mention is the Dark Lord in Doom Eternal Ancient Gods part 2. Not as long as the others, but it’s just the same exact boss fight for five different stages, dodging him long enough until you get an opening to deal damage. If you make a mistake, he can heal his health back and prolong the whole fight
Almost nothing changes in the 5 entire stages until you beat him, it took me about 45 minutes to beat him the first time
City of Heroes mention! Wooooooo!!!!!
This is a list of developers that don't respect players, and players that don't respect themselves. I can't imagine doing hardly any of this. If a fight takes more than an hour, it is definitely not worth doing.
When I was fighting Ultima. I don't remember it being that long. Probably because i was playing on Easy mode. 😂
I managed to beat Yiazmat on the PS2 original disc in roughly 4h and a half, switching to windbreaker armor when he used cyclone, and gambitting so reflect wouldn't be healing it. Took me 7 attempts to work it out, but I did it.
Never played it again. LOL
