For me it's Mr. Freeze from Batman - Arkham City

You literally have to use all the skills you learned through the game to beat him.

 

[RPGamer92]

Stallord

 

[Chamber]

Jeanne (Bayonetta)

That was an easy one.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Pretty much anything from Bayonetta and many of the boss battles from DMC4, provided the difficulty is up higher.

And, well, fuck, pretty much anything from Platinum Games in general. Those dudes rock.

Take your pick from God of War 3.

 

[KillerIsJed]

Best boss: Guilty Spark from Halo 3

Can we also discuss the worst boss battle? That was clearly the final boss from Gears of War 2, the lambent brumak. You literally just hold the RT with little to no aiming, explosion, ending, credits.

2nd worst: Halo 4

MGS4 final battle, so simple yet so meaningful.

 

[Kyleripman]

Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls for me. So intense.

Hades

Kalameet

from Dark Souls DLC.

My favorites were all in NMH1 and 2.

Margaret a best.

 

[Modedude]

For me it's Mr. Freeze from Batman - Arkham City

You literally have to use all the skills you learned through the game to beat him.

Also you can't make use of the same attack strategy twice, forcing you to use all the options you have.

I'd also put out the final boss from Sin & Punishment 2. Purely for it's insanity, doing several difficult attack patterns then eventually doing 3 or 4 of them at the same time.

I really think the last boss of Twilight Princess (the whole thing) was super rad.

It actually seems like a boss from Dark Souls.

God, I fucking hated Monsoon. The only boss in the game I didn't like.

Y'know, the overall game may not have been very good, but Final Fantasy XIII did have some good boss fights in my opinion.

Dark Souls, Ornstein and Smough. The most intense boss fight from that game.

Anything from Bayonetta or Metal Gear Rising or Vanquish.

The Augus boss fight from Asura's Wrath! The visuals and music were just damn perfect.

Ornstein and Smough

Metal Gear Solid 4 Final Boss. epic

For me it's Mr. Freeze from Batman - Arkham City

You literally have to use all the skills you learned through the game to beat him.

I think it was a little too easy. You have to use a number of skills you learned but there was no danger of defeat. You land one attack then just run to the next one, without any buffer or fight sequence between.

 

[Hayabusi]

Dark Souls, Ornstein and Smough. The most intense boss fight from that game.

Thought something like that. Still haven't come around to really playing it. My gpu is just too weak to play it in hq and high fps...

 

[BY2K]

I'm gonna throw in the Final Boss of The Wonderful 101 as well.

(I'd put in the last 2 hours of the game, but not all of that is a boss fight.)

EDIT: Wait, that's Wii U though... well, still awesome!

Probably should widen that tag a little.

Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls for me. So intense.

This would probably be my second choice, it's so amazing that they can combo their attacks sometimes killing you extremely fast. If you beat these guys, you basically won the game because nothing else is harder than them except maybe

Yeah, I don't know. I almost thought it was a little annoying..

Yeah. What I like about this boss battle is that the boss is adapting to your patterns instead of the opposite which is so common in other games. More studios should try the same.

 

[btags]

Man, fighting Freeze in Arkham City was awesome. I remember running around that small room for a good fifteen minutes, legitimately scared, because I could not find a way to attack him.

 

[Steel]

Artorias of course

Of course. I play with no shield and fighting this guy while dodging by the skin of my teeth and only getting occasional hits was absolutely epic. It was a damn nice adrenaline spike.

Honorable mention to this guy(The Dullaharn) on tier 10 difficulty in Soul Sacrifice:
