For 45 mins straight
Holy shit no way. Btw this is my favorite vid of yours by far, but my second favorite might be this one th-cam.com/video/VZrDxD0Za9I/w-d-xo.html@@bizlychannelYT
I saw it irl I lost
Ahhh skeet skeet y'all
editing in these videos is so entertaining and top tier

More people need to sub this guy has earned it

Masterpiece
Its literally nakeyjakey without the ball
The mantis lords from hollow knight will always be a favourite for me. Music, lore, the reward, the flow of the fight, all fantastic
i think youd enjoy the sisters of battle fight
I love the mantis lords! I was stuck on them for a while (cause im shit at games) but theyre such a rewarding fight. once you figure out their attack patterns you can get them down easily but I dont think them not being the hardest takes away from it at all
The whole time i was thinking abt hollow knight gameplay, good to know i am not alone lol
I mean like, NGK
Glad this is in universal agreement. Still shocked how everyone just so happened to be talking about hollow knight the moment I picked it up 2 years ago.
This is the best edited video I’ve seen all year! How hasn’t this already gotten millions of views??
ONE DAY
The final boss fight of Omori is something that I was not prepared for at all. That shit destroyed, put me back together and then did it again. the symbolism in physically fighting the past version of yourself to move on is something that will forever stick with me.
Yeah i agree,
Omori did not do that for me sadly I’m glad the boss was cool for you
same I typically am not that huge a fan of turn based combat but everything about that fight was so perfectly set up and executed
ye the story of it was amazinh but the actual gameplay was meh
What an INCREDIBLE video, you and everyone who worked on this truly knocked it out of the park! The editing is fantastic and each section was so fascinating. Hearing how much love and appreciation you all have for these games was such a wonderful thing to listen to.
Thank you for letting me design the screen title. This was one of the coolest commissions I got to work on that allowed me to be an absolute nerd over my own favorite game of all time :)
Saturn this shit would not be the same without the title screen bro I’m so glad you did it based on your own favorite boss. We will do this again :)
Which part did you do exactly?
@@overnightavenger1470 I'm the artist for the title card at 1:36
Oh awesome
How did he find you to design that, or are you guys friends ?
Totk's final fight was mindblowing. It wasn't neccessarily difficult, but the way the story ties up at that moment and the magnitude of the final moments really made the game feel amazing
been seeing a lot of comments about this one
For real. One of my favorite moments in video games is seeing Ganondorf’s healthbar expanding to the edge of the screen simply because of the pure fear I felt in that moment
On my first play through, I went down to the final fight with no sunflowers, and only 2 hits worth of life because I was already gloom damaged. It took like 20 tries to beat the first phase, and my mind was blown when his healthbar almost went offscreen. It took about 40 total deaths and it was the most fun I’ve ever had in a game, they improved a lot more since BOTW
I died like 9 times which i entirely didnt expect from a nintendo game
the boss fight for me is 100% the final fight in little nightmares II. I don't really know how to explain everything I like about it, but something about using a mechanic that was previously used to communicate with your friend, to stun and lead them away as an enemy. Love it so much.
i love when people making a commentary or analysis video include the perspectives of other people. it adds a lot to the conversation you make with such strongly opinionated topics, additionally with them being ur bros it makes it feel very personal. you clearly have so much to say about video games and im always eager to hear more. love ur vids bebo!! keep up the great work :3
I love video games but I’m not the most knowledgeable. I figured having everybody share some love while providing different insight/perspectives it’d make this a true banger. Appreciate you!!
@@bizlychannelYT appreciate YOU!!! who cares if ur not a video game genius, you’re passion driven and i respect that a lot.
As someone who loves the idea of content creation and expressing your feelings toward niche things, I genuinely think you have an amazing channel. The amount of work in your scripts and editing is awesome and it makes me think that anyone (including me) can just talk about the things they love in confidence and have doing it.
Just talking about shit you love is the best way to do it. GO FOR IT!!!
havent left a comment before but you quickly became one of my favorite youtubers to sit down and listen to. I love your editing style and your production quality is very reflective of the effort you put in. Def deserve more subs, keep up the good work!
The editing put into this is phenomenal and so entertaining Bizly my guy you are doing a great job
every video is better than the last, this was absolutely delightful to watch because the editing is top tier and everyone clearly cares so much for this. onto my list of favourite videos ever keep up the awesome work bizly will be watching again
Appreciate it!!! Glad the love comes across in the video.
The boss fight that left the longest impression on me has to either be the mantis lords/sisters of battle or the radiance from hollow knight. For the mantis lords, they are one of the only bosses in the game that gives you a “challenge” option and they are the only boss where you are warned how difficult it’s going to be, with an npc recommending that you get a weapon upgrade. For the radiance, the fact that you need to do a checklist of stuff never specified to be able to fight a secret boss that you can’t even fight in the boss rush mode until you’ve 112% the game let such an incredible impact
Mantis lords is defff a top tier fight. And dung eater has so many good elements. I think all of hollow knights bosses have a lot of story implications
Pure vessel was always my favorite as it destroyed me so hard I had to actually get good at the combat though thankfully it made me get so much better that the pantheon of hallownest wasn't absurdly difficult as after unlocking abs rad to train against I beat it the very next time I attempted it. Hollow knight has so many great bosses though with fights like grey prince zote, nkg, or radiance all offering wildly different types of challenge as well
The final boss of ori and the will of the wisps is my favorite boss I’ve fought. She’s a 100 foot owl that hatched deformed with dead parents. And was pushed away from the rest of her species because of her monstrous appearance. She grew up alone fending for herself and ended up being bitter and cruel. The fight is hard but fair, and combines the two core elements of the game being the smooth platforming and snappy combat in the final boss to make it really feel like a test of all your skills. You fight her on the ground in the first phase, then there’s a chase sequence in the middle to test your platforming, and the last phase she bit by bit destroys the entire arena, leaving you to do the last third of the boss fight entirely in the air. By this time in the game you’ve accumulated a wide variety of movement abilities that you need to utilize constantly to quickly maneuver around the bosses barrage of attacks while dealing your own. And if you make a single mistake you fall to your death. When you finally kill her she uses the last of her strength to fly back to the dried out remains of her parents and dies crying under their wings. The music for the entire sequence is also great, oris theme slowly works it’s way into the music as you’re getting close to finishing the fight, it overpowers the bosses theme as you overpower the boss. This comment is already really long and I couldn’t even begin to cover all the nuisances and story connections that the game subtly builds up for this boss. I highly recommend the game to anyone who hasn’t played it. (But not really the first game, just the sequel. The first has a terrible save system and feels lifeless by comparison)
Bro my heart
I disagree, the story for the first game sets up the emotional payoff for the 2nd game to be even better.
@@Nichrysalis oh it definitely does 100%. But I've tried recommending the series to people and they end up quitting the first game because of the saving and combat systems. So now I typically just tell people they should play the second game because that way they won't drop the series entirely over problems that the sequel fixes
King Minos from Ultrakill. Not only a fun and challenging boss fight, but a boss fight with great lore and backstory that the game gives you if you find even before ever fighting him. And in life, Minos was a generous king who was a good person. But the people he fought for are dead. And now he wants revenge on the things that destroyed humanity. (It makes more sense if you play Ultrakill)
The thing he described with killing the Abyss Watchers is the EXACT thing that happened to me, I think Dark Souls 3 is my favorite game ever, and I think it’s very close to what a perfect game could be. Especially the final boss, the feeling you get when you hear that “plin plin plon” in his 2nd phase is UNMATCHED. Literally every time I hear it the memories from the entire series come flooding back, and when you realize that this boss is the culmination of all the people who have linked the fire, including you, it HITS. I don’t think anything will ever match that…
HAVENT MADE IT TO THE FINAL BOSS YET IM WORKING UP TO IT
I couldn't agree more with soul of cinder and I think its incredible that the second phase was a showdown with basically the first boss from dark souls 1. I think its the best "final boss" because it gave alot of the topics Bizly touched on and cranked them up
@@bizlychannelYTI don’t know where you are in the game, but buy the dlcs if you haven’t the bosses are amazing
@@bizlychannelYT Weird that you included some of the best bosses in gaming in this video when you HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED THEM. Go push yourself and experience dark souls 3. Also... like others have said you gotta go grab those dlcs
Ds3 is brilliant. Not really ‘very close to perfect’ tho
I'm so happy I watch Bizly, the editing is genuinely some of the best on TH-cam. Not only that but the way he plays/runs ttrpgs is some of the best shizz ever, Rand is art
One of my favorite bosses narratively has to be Von Karma from the first Ace Attorney. I know it’s not like a traditional fighting boss type game, but it gets me invested every time and that ending is so good because of how well it ties it all together and how rewarding it is to defeat him.
This is genuinely my favourite bizly video, you could tell that there was so much love and effort put into it. It's actually so enjoyable and each cameo (I love the inclusion of other CCs to explain the different factors that make a boss fight good using their own gaming anecdotes btw) made me smile just as much as the last! I was trying to sleep to this video but I honestly kept picking it up to watch the screen every 5 minutes because I could just tell that whatever was on screen was something I had to see. And the editing didn't disappoint!!! I'm so sleep deprived that I don't have the vocabulary to describe how good it is but make no mistake - this is actually the best bizly video I've seen and it deserves way more views than it already has
EDITING IS INSANE IN THIS ONE
17:47 love the Slimecicle minecraft cursed mod video reference! Your videos lately are amazing, keep up the good work man!
WE LOVE A GOOD REFERENCE
I'm not gonna lie, the final boss fight in DMC3 always hits me so hard. I grew up with the franchise so i do adore it but the fact that you're chasing your brother through this entire tower, his pursuit for power and your will to save humanity, both of you teaming up together only to be hit with the fact you have to fight each other in the end with the most beautiful rendidtion of the main theme. Bro brings me to tears, and the fact that Dante in the end still wants to save him... RAAAAAAAAHHHHH
For the narrative the one that resonated with me the most is Sif's fight in DS/DSR the way the fight makes you feel like the bad guy at the half way point when you realize he just trying to protect his owner's grave hits different and had me shedding a tear
sif after dlc
Fatalis from Monster Hunter: World has to be one of my favorite boss fights of all time, and after watching this video I feel like he hits just about all of the elements mentioned.
There isn’t really all _too_ much in terms of dialogue, but the overall lack of dialogue in and of itself showcases the gravity of the situation.
In terms of narrative, you are fighting a dragon who is spoken about like a legend, a nightmare, a _god_ - something much greater than anything you’ve faced this far. He has incinerated an entire kingdom with ease and now it’s up to you to stop him before he decides to wreak havoc again. *Countless* lives are riding on your victory, in a fight that calls upon just about everything you’ve been through up until this point, the culmination of your journey.
Fatalis pulls out plenty of surprises throughout the fight, unleashing new devastating moves with every phase.
The fight is _very_ challenging since you’re fighting to kill him within the time limit while you’re just trying to survive _and_ you’re fighting to break his horns before phase 3 so he doesn’t get even _stronger_ than before, but I rarely felt that the fight was difficult in a way that was unfair. The battle tests your skills and your gear in a fair but devastating way.
In terms of stage, you fight him in the scorched ruins of a castle in a kingdom he burnt to the ground, showcasing his immense power and the potential stakes of the battle. But the stage isn’t only cool, it’s crucial to the fight. Littered around the stage are ballistae and cannons, siege weapons with limited ammo that you can use to damage Fatalis and knock him down or bind him for a brief time with special ballista ammo you only get _two_ of. There are destroyed pillars scattered across the area that can be used to block some of his devastating fire attacks, there are various ledges that you can jump off of to mount him to perform your aerial attacks. Between each phase he unleashes a massive blast of flame that you can only survive by hiding behind specific objects, and when you finally unlock the dragonator, a limited use pair of massive drills that deal massive damage to Fatalis, you don’t get to aim them, you have to get Fatalis to move into their path. As a whole, you’re required to take control of the stage in order to beat Fatalis, taking note of your cover, your resources, and the positioning of both you _and_ Fatalis, making the stage a vital part of the fight.
Although you’ve fought much larger monsters before, the _true_ scale of Fatalis lies not in his size (though he is pretty damn big), but in the scale of his power. Fatalis’s massive fire attacks as he moves between his phases engulf the entire stage and _beyond_, tearing apart wood and stone and turning the very steel you hide behind red hot as it melts before your very eyes. Those watching a distance away from the camp can see Fatalis’s flames devouring the entire area as he floats in the air without even flying, held aloft by the sheer power of his flame.
In terms of design, Fatalis is one of the most dragon-looking dragons in all of monster hunter, but the solid simplicity of his design also shows that there is no silly gimmick, and this is a _grave_ battle. His appearance and his movements do well to show Fatalis’s malice, since he isn’t just some beast: Fatalis is intelligent, and he *hates* humanity, so much so that he melts the armor of fallen hunters onto his chest in mockery of their own hunting, something that he _actually does_ once he reaches his third phase and his chest glows red-hot with flame.
And the music…
Fatalis’s introduction and his first phase evoke a feeling of pure terror, choirs calling out in horror at the hellish power of Fatalis, the destruction he has caused, and the many lives he has ended. At first, the battle is given a tone of terror and almost hopelessness - if Fatalis is so powerful, so _horrifying_ how can you possibly face him and live, much less defeat him? But once you reach the 2nd phase, the music shifts. Though the music still evokes the horrifying hatred and power of Fatalis, the music also begins to grow heroic, egging you on and calling upon the memories of your journey with leitmotifs from the game as well as previous Monster Hunter titles. The stakes have not really changed. You’re still fighting Fatalis, but you’re not just some bothersome insect for him to burn to ash anymore. He’s taking you seriously now. He is hurting. You aren’t just annoying Fatalis anymore - this is a battle.
His 3rd phase continues with the same music… until you use the dragonator. When you release that dragonator and score that devastating hit on Fatalis, badly wounding him and knocking him down, the music cuts out, and new song starts playing.
The main theme.
Not the main theme of Monster Hunter: World, or the main theme of the Iceborne expansion.
But the main theme
Of the very
First
Monster Hunter.
The track rises and begins blasting heroically, egging on your victory and calling for you to give everything you’ve got to finish the fight and defeat the black dragon of nightmare. At this point in the fight, you might not have many chances left, you might be running out of time or resources, but the music tells you that now is not the moment to stop. You can defeat Fatalis. You can win. Now is your time - go be a hero.
And when you finally beat him, and that special rendition of the quest complete _finally_ announces your victory…
My God. What an amazing fucking boss.
I got a heart from bizlychannel himself and then I edited my comment and it went away.
It’s so over…
And the fact his quest is called "Fade to Black", being the final quest in the entire game... the devs went all-out to give us such an epic finale.
As a non-gamer who only knows all these games through Let’s Plays, this genuinely entertained me. I absolutely ADORE content like this. Amazing job Bizly!
I really feel like you can see the care in this video, and through this, it helps me understand why i like some bosses so much, and i feel like i can see a lot of these elements in the trickster, between the story elements behind the lost friend, the music choices, and the surprise you get every time he does what he wants, plus the insane design behind the trickster and how it shows he has a split mind.
I gotta say, Ludwig’s battle from Bloodborne really hits all of these marks. It’s one of the most absolutely mine blowing battles of any video game
Awesome video, I especially related to the music section seeing how I have been greatly impacted by the mood and feel a certain song can give off at the right moment This is not a “boss fight” but I resonated more to the ending of RDR where you work for your freedom and then in the end have it all be taken away from those you worked for, betrayed, then later have someone impacted by it take revenge. It really left an impression to me and brings me to tears when I reach that end and the final dual that comes to it.
Music is some powerful shit man
This channel is golden, and it only gets better with every video. I'm so glad I found this channel thought JRWI.
One of my favorite boss fights of all time is Asgore Dreemurr from undertale. I love everything from his cool design and character, the music that plays during it, and especially the story and dialogue. Asgore truly does not want to fight you, and he does not want to win the fight. Him destroying your mercy button is the most impressive example i've seen where the game uses something related to its gameplay in order to add to the narrative of the game. He removes the mercy button as he does not believe he deserves mercy, which i find incredibly compelling. He could have easily destroyed the fight button in order to not die but he did the opposite. A truly amazing boss fight which is not talked about nearly enough
holy shit you really cooked. one of the best video essays i've ever seen,kept me engaged all the way. hope this one gets recommended to many people because you deserve it
for me, the boss that makes me feel, is ds3's lord of cinder. its not the hardest fight, and its not the fan favorite of many, but when the 1st phase music fades into gwyns meloncoly theme, it reminds me of the struggle. the pain of the first trys, the determination of getting though the challenges, and the feeling of accomplishment. I will forever remember this boss.
Bebo has been on a streak of crazy good videos and this is no exception.
My favorite channel ever recommended by the algorithm. The collabs in here are just flawless. Keep that good stuff comin!
Honestly I'd love an entire video about video game music in general, you definitely nailed that topic in this video (and every other topic in the video, but I think there's a lot more video game music to talk about)
The mixture of physical (almost slapstick??) comedy and traditional comedy within Bizlys videos are definitely what keep drawing me back. I adore video essays, but the additional editing and time put into these videos are what make me excited for his uploads- i love storytelling in video essays, and even though their jokes done through editing, the storytelling element is always there to aid his point (ie the edited scenes in puppet history). I can see he’s definitely embracing that side of his content creation more and I think it’s only going to get better-
Keep it up, bizly! (Eating mud)
This video is truly like a movie!! Each portion of it had its own story arc and the way you described everything was so good! I also really like the guest appearances talking about their own favorite games, that was a very cool thing to add into the video!
Bizly saying "fighting a god" and showing the god room from the Minecraft video so many years ago was awesome.
One of the most well edited, polished, presented, & thought out channels I've seen in awhile. So happy about this channel, amazing work Bizly!!
King is back
Sussy baki
@@swagmaster6686Baka sussy
Nah its the return of the king
He only just joined 4 months 😂
Gabriel from Ultrakill in both acts has always stuck with me
just the fact that he starts as this honourable angel warrior who becomes enraged at your victory over him, only for him to realize that you're the only thing that's really challenged him, which causes him to love fighting you, and i cannot wait to see what happens in act 3
I love the editing in this video. Makes me feel inspired to do more with my green screen! And even just listening is a treat too, honestly!
The change bizly made between this and last year is genuinely so amazing
Imagine where we gon be next year
@@bizlychannelYT and I can’t wait to see it bro, cause my dude man dawgingtan like life and like wine it only gets better with time
I hope this guy keep this great content coming
Bizly: struggles against abyss watchers
Charlie: kills the impossible boss in demon souls you fight in the start
I’d say for me the boss that covers all of the criteria that Bizly has talked about for what makes a great boss fight, would be Gael from Dark Souls 3 in the Ringed city DLC.
Where to start? Well, the boss was a surprise since Gael put us on the journey of burning the painting in Ariendel, to guiding us through the ringed city. The dialogue just makes feel both baffled and sad for when he states “for my lady’s painting”. The music slaps with it starting out with this slow somber chorus and dramatic intrumentals then the music goes crazy when he goes into his phase 2 and even more so in phase 3. His design is memorable of a wild dog eating anything and everything that it can, before getting up on 2 legs to fight you hollow to man. The setting is so gorgeous and tragic, and if you know the context of this fight prior and after. You find out that Gael has been around since the beginning, since the first wars against the dragons! And when faced with the furtive pigmy’s that he ate them because their blood has dried up, and he fully knew that he would loose his mind in the process! And having that small glimmer of hope that you might still be out there unkindled ash, who can handle the power of the dark soul, to give to the little girl who is painting the new world which can be named after you or Ash.
Overall Dark Souls 3 has the best boss I have ever faced in my entire time on this earth playing video games!
love how much work obviously goes into these videos they’re SO fun to watch
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!! every single one of these vids is so entertaining from beginning to end, it's so clear how much work you've been puttin in bebo. crossover event of the century with all these guests, but the greatest thing about these vids for me is seeing how much you care about all this stuff, it's infectious. from one storytelling nerd to another you never miss, this shit feeds me. with a side of mud
viper from titanfall2 is my favorite boss fight of all time, the challenge of his constant pummeling with rockets from above and his mocking through the little updates he sends over radio, and after all that you feel even a little bad just because he was so badass.
Speaking of surprises in boss fights, watching the health bar go past its normal limit during the second stage of TOTK's final boss filled me with fear like nothing else.
Demon King Ganondorf is hands-down the best final boss in Zelda, and also one of the best bosses in any game I've played. Demon Dragon is basically just Dark Beast Ganon if it was good, because while both are heavily cinematic and basically impossible to lose, fighting a giant dragon while riding a smaller dragon in the skies above Hyrule is significantly cooler than shooting a giant pig with a bow in Hyrule Field. Also, I was severely underequipped going into the fight, thereby turning it into feeling like a Soulsborne boss instead of a Zelda boss.
Bro this is genuinely my favourite TH-cam channel, alongside Hivemind.
I have no shadow of a doubt that you will blow up and have something special if you keep up with content this entertaining. But regardless of that please do keep creating these bangers 🙏🏻
Another channel very similar to this one is Nakeyjakey, he's a TH-cam GOAT as well
Without exaggeration, the literal second that Hopes and Dreams started playing I began to tear up and I had to pause the video for a minute to regather myself. There is not a single song on this planet that is more uplifting than this one
There's just something so crazy about the Maz Koshia fight in BOTW for me. You spend the entire game just being a little worm going around and getting spirit orbs from crusty dead guys... only for that to lead into them standing up and beating you into a pulp. Love that fight so much
I really enjoyed the Darth Vader fight from Jedi: Fallen Order. The whole concept of you simply not being able to defeat him was amazing. It just made the whole game seem so much more meaningful, as you realize that, no matter how powerful you got, you weren't even close to winning.
Oh yeah, the Devola and Popola fight hit me rediculously hard. It may have been partly because I had a five year engagment that was ended around the same time I beat Neir: Replicant. But it was also all of the build up with the story and lore. Finishing that game wrecked me emotionally for multiple reasons, but it holds a place in my heart nontheless.
The Splatoon endboss fights have definitely made their way into my mind and heart.
Its just so fun, ive beaten them multiple times and it doesnt get boring. The music, the story, the stages its all such an amazing colorful mix
Microdosing on playing ultrakill (I don’t have a good pc to run it but I’ve played the game before) by rewatching this entire video. Noticing the section on scale the background is the lust level of ultrakill- which if you don’t know (spoilers) leads up to the corpse of king Minos boss. A massive guy you have to shoot in the eyes and hands. And then we cut to dead space. Fantastic video
This is my favorite bizlychannel video so far, it’s king but consistently interesting with a lot of cool collars, great editing and really funny. 👍🏻 this channels content never disappoints
You and the team clearly work hard on these videos and they always come out so well! Love seeing a new bebo upload
absolutely FANTASTIC video!! the editing is amazing, and including the perspectives of other people is always an incredible bonus to these kinds of analysis videos!! fantastic job!!!
The soul of cinder has an incredible theme. A great sense of finality
Hollow knight/radiance boss fight is waaay too amazing. The 3 phases, the story implication, the surprise, the way the boss is fighting the second boss within itself. My favorite part is in such a dark game, and where the radiance is describe as an unbearable light, having the radiance loading screen be a flash of bright white was chilling
+ I love how grimms fight actually feels like a dance
These videos are insanely fun to watch and actually pretty informative for a video game nerd like me lol. keep up the amazing work bizly! :)
One hell of a video, and the boss that stuck with me over the years was definitely the end of earthbound. It's just a lot for tiny little me to comprehend, and definitely fostered my love for compelling storytelling ever since I played it with my dad. Love you dad.
Boss fight i love is Ending E in Nier Automata, the music, how you basically kill God, how you have to get help near the end. Its beautiful
Orphan of Kos. The story build up as well as the environment which is previous to the bossfight all lend well to the greasy ass eldrich abomination of kos and his mama. His fight is also the most difficult and has on record the most screams during a bossfight
Every single one of your videos continues to one up itself. Incredible video & mad impressive!
the quality of your videos always amaze me. Keep making the masterpieces bizly, youre the best.
One of my favorite boss fight is definitely soul of cinder especially when you finish dark souls one, hearing that haunting, desperate, and angry ost in the beginning is enough to make you feel like this is the finale battle this is where it all leads up to all the time dying and learning from each of those deaths from all the games brings you here and then when his second phase hits and you hear that beautiful, plin plin plon and it hits so hard then he goes for the grab and it clicks that you’re fighting Gwyn from the first game after you beat him it’s still stuck in your head and you want to know more about the soul of cinder so you look into who he truly was and you learn that not only is it Gwyn but it’s the amalgamation of all the “souls” (the players) in DS1 and you see what’s become of them after all this time they’re still trying to protect the flame
A new one that will stick in my mind for a long time is ffxvi fight against bahamut. The tension that is built up in the cutscenes to seeing the destruction unfold and then flashbacks to the reaction bahamut’s dominant had to these events were just phenomenal
I’ve waited so long for this. Finally, I’ve come to realize the true meaning of art.
The absolute best case of “THERES A SECOND PHASE???” Belongs to Hades
It’s a rogue like where you escape hell, and the final boss is Hades himself (who’s your dad), the first time I actually reached him (you have to restart after every death) I absolutely wrecked him…and then he stood up
Yeah it took me another 7 attempts before I beat him, the best part? There’s a challenge box you unlock after beating him for the first time with lots of stuff, one of them changes every single boss fight throughout the game so they’re ALL way harder…Hades gets a phase 3
One of my favorite examples of surprise in a boss fight was on the Easter egg for Mob Of The Dead, where after surviving with your buddy's for potentially hours, and then having to fight 3 on 1 at the end was so cool
I know this one's a given but Absolute Radiance from hollow knight. Just everything that led up to that point + your original background. Just chef's kiss.
Turning down Melina because you want your "maiden" to be a dude is such massive gigachad energy.
Two min in and i can already tell this is gonna be beyond sick
Nightmare King Grimm from hollow knight hands down my most favorite boss out of any game his boss fight feels like a dance and I love it
Some of my favorite bosses have come from the Kirby series. Sure, many of them aren’t very challenging, but a lot of Kirby’s final bosses (especially in the more recent games) have several phases that progress the fight from form to form in a brilliant end to the game. And the visual absurdity of a tiny pink circle fighting mega beelzebub from alternate dimension super mega hell is insane. And you put up a fight. Like in Kirby and the Forgotten Land you go from dodging the spear of a legendary warrior to trying to pry your friend from the flesh of the evolved wizard form of said warrior to trying not to get crushed by a planet crashing into you while you drive an eighteen wheeler straight uphill at full throttle to show this “perfect being” what it feels like to hug a mack truck. Every experience with bosses like these makes me go absolutely bonkers and then as soon as it’s over want to go again like I’m a toddler that just rode on one of those little caterpillar roller coasters for babies.
Kirby is not what I would’ve expected maybe I need to get on board
This was amazing! I love when content creators pour gallons of passion into videos like this. Theory: eating mud makes you a more powerful youtuber.
Also, I think some of my favorite boss fights would have to be from Hollow Knight or Castlevania: Circle of the Moon : ) .
*Gotcha Force* is such an underrated hidden gem. Loved that game as a kid, I have no clue why we even got it, felt like it just appeared one day but was a ton of fun.
Your channel is awesome, glad I get to be here for the beginning of what will inevitably be a big deal. Keep killing it 🤙🏼
41:24 for me "Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt" is such a cold badass line, cause through all of Bloodborne Gehrman is the first hunter, but he's also now this old guy in a wheelchair, so him saying that, coupled with him standing up and pulling out his big ass scythe is such a cool moment for me (helps that he's a good boss in general too)
this is such a good video, the amount of good examples as well as the insanely good cameos. Very impressed bro 👍
A boss fight I love that surprised and terrified the first time I played it was fighting David in The Last of Us, he got harder to find each time, and the building you were in got more on fire
He would also talk so much smack, it was the scariest game of hide and seek
After learning all the lore, the hollow knight is one of the most heartbreaking and painful fights I've ever experienced. With his dream nail dialogue showing that it's not in fact a perfect hollow vessel, the leitmotifs and the palpable desperation in its attacks and theme leave you with a hole in your soul.
Im not sure if you can exactly call it a boss fight, but the end credits for nier automata (ending e) is by far my favorite moment in all of gaming. Literally perfect
I know it was briefly mentioned in this video but god ULTRAKILL pretty consistently knocks every single thing on this list out of the park. Through every section I was thinking of a boss in that game that perfectly fit the description. Great video, great game.
Can’t describe the feeling of beating the Nameless king in dark souls 3 after a couple of weeks of dying… I jumped and cheered so hard ! What a sense of achievement!!
Wow I really love your editing style, like seeing you sit or walk in a game enviroment is fun and the undertake part actually and me stunned
The scenery in Radahns boss fight in Elden ring was just the best ive seen since i played ghost of Tsushima with its final boss. Its my absolute favorite boss fight
awesome video with top notch editing, great script, and great use of segments to let us hear from a variety of people. great work and if i wasnt already subscribed this wouldve had me
Markoth: "Allow me to introduce myself"
Great video editing, my favorite part of videos like this are the sections where you are edited into the footage :D
Yo that’s awesome!!! I’ve been following this cannel since it’s second vidio and seeing slimcicle who is my favorite TH-camr in one of his videos makes me so unbelievably happy!
this video is amazing! I absolutely love how you put yourself in the game worlds.
My favorite example of a song in boss fights is in monster hunter when you fight the biggest bad in the game it can be a gauntlet especially by yourself and then when that games edition of proof of a hero plays it shows that you just need to grit your teeth and push to be that hero for the people who need you back in the village cause you are almost there
there are so many bossfights i love in games but i think my favorite would have to be between either the hollow knight (from… hollow knight), or dogma from the binding of isaac. if i tried to go into detail id be typing about this all day but i absolutely adore the way they weave into the narratives of their respective games. the sound design, music, and visuals are stunning and every time i replay either of the games i look forward to getting to their fights and having my soul crushed because of them
I am thoroughly impressed with the editing, you make every frame worth paying attention to. Like, you didn't have to make a little beebo sprite for the Undertale section but you did and that shows just how much care and thought was put into the presentation of this topic. I love the green screen as well. This is your best video so far, i'm so excited to see more work from you dude!!! Also, PLEASE YES i'd love a video about the music in Undertale, beautiful soundtrack. That section and the Nier one were my favorite parts. If its possible I think a general video about video game soundtracks would have great material to discuss as well :D
