Yes guys, I'm talking about the Pledge of Demon from Yakuza 0. This is one of the best original musics for a boss fight that I've heard in years!

Just listen to this amazing track.
Yakuza 0 - Daisaku Kuze theme (Pledge of Demon ~怨魔の契り~)

 

[PorygonVandal]

Giga Baby Bowser theme from Yoshi's Island 2

Being 10, watching Baby Bowser turn Giga and then that songs starts, was hype as hell

 

[allintospace]

I always think Dr. Robotnik's boss theme in Sonic 3 is slept on. It helped define boss music for me, love it to bits.

 

[xkramz]

Megalovania the thread

 

[The Artisan]

the final boss in Yakuza 3

That's pretty damn good.


Every time a boss fight music comes up I post the current GOAT
Hopes and Dreams - Undertale

STANDING HERE

I REALIZE

 

[HK-47]

Abyss Watchers

The greatest.

 

[MegaSackman]

My mood today is:

Bloodborne - Blood Straved Beast Theme

 

[klabautermann]

Persona 3's final boss fight is up there for me, as well as the hilariously bad but amazing What I'm Made Of from Sonic Heroes.

Probably some stronger ones, but I can't think of them right now.

 

[Mister X]

Dancer of the Borreal Valley (Dark Souls III).

 

[Astarte]

Drakengard has a very nice, soothing theme with beautiful bells

Spoiler

imjokingfuckthissong

Shenmue 2's Earth and Sea Remix is also very nice. It was also a very easy to cheese fight.

 

[AlexBasch]

The Smough and Ornstein battle is a true test to see if you have been paying attention to how shit works in Dark Souls.

 

[jennetics]

Final Fantasy XV - Hellfire


Hoo boy...gets me hyped every time I listen.

 

[thefil]

All the Final Fantasy XIV primals.

Found this one really weird at first but now it's my favourite.

Lufia 2 - Sinistral Battle Theme

 

[Brian_FETO]

Megatron theme - Transformers Devastation

The moment when I truly fell in love with the game. This wonderful track that sounds like At The Gates got way into Mega Man during the songwriting process

Game is full of killer music but daaaaang this track. Perfectly complements the aggressive AI, plus the first Megatron fight is an electric fence cagematch. GOAT

 

[greelay]

I have always enjoyed the gym leader battle music from the pokemon games.

 

[OniBarubary]

There is literally no better boss music than Ludwig the Accursed -> Ludwig the Holy Blade in all of our Earth's history, from Bloodborne

I'm not kidding, as someone who generally was indifferent to Bloodborne's and most Souls soundtracks I will fist-fight anyone who did not hear this shit when fighting him and go "HOLY SHIT" and lose their mind.

This is easily the #1 Souls song that exists. Meet me with guns at dawn if you disagree.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Every 3D Zelda boss fight imo.

 

[Team Filler]

One of the very best:
Clash on the Big Bridge - Final Fantasy V

 

[JaseMath]

Xenosaga - U-TIC System

This is single greatest boss theme. It's astounding even today.

Truth. Fight was worth the price of admission for the DLC

Spoiler

also the only part I really enjoyed

 

[dcx4610]

The correct answer is Metal Gear Rising.

Yakuza 0 - Daisaku Kuze theme (Pledge of Demon ~怨魔の契り~)

I love the version they use when

Spoiler

Kiryu fights him in the sewers.

The buildup to the theme is fucking amazing, it got me so hype.

Not even the best song in that DLC, hombre. Living Failures is the hypest shit.

Choose your weapon, we meet when the sun comes up.

At least pick Orphan of Kos, hombre.

[PeakPointMatrix]

Final Battle with Bowser - Super Mario Galaxy

I hope Odyssey lives up to the epic-ness of the Galaxy score.

 

[reKon]

That fucking FFXV Irifit battle theme is lit.

 

[The12thGripper]

Ys: The Thread

Vacant Interference - Ys Seven
Crimson Fighter - Ys VIII

 

[HK-47]

Choose your weapon, we meet when the sun comes up.

At least pick Orphan of Kos, hombre.

Orphan is my least favorite of the five boss themes in the DLC.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Devil May Cry 3 OST - Vergil Battle 3 and Drakengard 3 - The Final Song are pretty incredible as well.

 

[Draft]

Metal Gear Rising, the thread.

I sometimes queue up the intro The Ornstein and Smough theme before attempting PRs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX51T-EipOo

SOTC has one of the best boss themes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQAgLFdHiC0

The Japanese fell off in a big way making games, but they can still write an exciting boss fight soundtrack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5FmC35GIOk

Rules of Nature is honestly the best boss fight song in gaming.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I've always liked the Yakuza 5 against

Spoiler

Aizawa

Battle for the Dream

also

Bloodborne - Ludwig the accursed and holy blade and the first hunter

 

[LotusHD]

This is technically cheating, but for Nier Automata:

Other than that, some recent stuff:

Gravity Rush 2 OST:

Angel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lmVg-EXmfI - One of the final bosses
All Fires Burn to Ash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mejigdzgWDc - Another final boss

And the Imperial Boss theme from FFXV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWJNLFpg3Og

EDIT:

Oh shit, almost forgot Undertale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPCMJC1Ig6s (Battle against Undyne)

The context under which this music appears is amazing lol

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Brandish 2 SNES- Gadobardorerr

Brandish 2 PC98- Gadobardorerr

Brandish 2- Midi Collection Remix- Gadobardorerr

Cool Falcom final boss track I doubt many are familiar with.

 

[OniBarubary]

Orphan is my least favorite of the five boss themes in the DLC.

Alright, I get a gun, you get a dueling glove and we do this on the hour.
