#10 - Third Colossus
Kicking off our list is the Third Colossus from Shadow of the Colossus, a game that redefined what boss fights could be. This towering creature, known as Gaius, stands in a half-submerged circular arena, surrounded by a serene lake.
#9 - Red
Pokémon isn’t exactly known for brutal boss fights, but Red, the silent trainer atop Mt. Silver in Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver, is a different beast.
#8 - The Edge
Furi is a game that’s a love letter to boss fights, and The Edge is its shining star. This guy doesn’t mess around.
#7 - Rhulk
Okay, Destiny 2 fans, this one’s for you. Rhulk, the First Disciple from the Vow of the Disciple raid, is a boss fight that captures everything that makes Destiny raids so special.
#6 - Raven Beak
Metroid Dread is a masterclass in 2D action, and Raven Beak is its crowning jewel. This Chozo warrior is Samus Aran’s ultimate challenge, a boss who tests every skill you’ve honed throughout the game.
#5 - Genichiro Ashina
Sekiro is a game that demands mastery, and Genichiro Ashina is the perfect embodiment of its brutal philosophy.
#4 - Radiance
Hollow Knight is a masterpiece of atmosphere and challenge, and Radiance, the true final boss (or Absolute Radiance in the DLC), is its shining star.
#3 - Ludwig, The Holy Blade
Bloodborne is a gothic nightmare, and Ludwig, the Holy Blade, is its most unforgettable boss.
#2 - Ganon
Ganon, the iconic villain of the Zelda series, gets a breathtaking reinvention in Breath of the Wild. Calamity Ganon is a force of nature, a swirling mass of malice and machinery that’s been terrorizing Hyrule for a century.
#1 - Fatalis
Topping our list is Fatalis from Monster Hunter: World, the ultimate dragon and the ultimate boss fight.
