Your favorite final boss in any game?

[Red]

Mine is probably any of the Dragon's Dogma's final bosses.

 

[[McD] James]

Hiruko Ubusuna.

I would imagine Dark Souls will get a few mentions. That series looks interesting.

 

For me I'll have to go with The Spider Mastermind from Doom 2016. It's intimidating, well animated, various attacks but very manageable. Otherwise I don't remember a Boss that sticks to mind.

 

Oh Psycho Mantis! Gimmicky but overall cool and unique.

Dark Souls of course! :D

 

Manus, Father of the Abyss, the final boss from the first game's DLC is probably my favorite. He's just so batshit aggressive and had such a huge health bar (not to mention to awesome lore), I was sweating when I finally beat him (solo no less). One of my proudest gaming moments.

Giygas from Earthbound for obvious reasons. 

 

God from Silent Hill 3 who needs no further explanation

 

Spoiler

 

 

Phase 8 Corbenik "The Rebirth" from .hack//Quarantine. He is the final boss of the entire 4 part series of original .hack games that appeared on the PS2 (not G.U. which came later). This design was...an interesting choice, but it all ties into the epic story so by that point I didn't care and was just finally happy to beat all 4 games. But lemme just say, I don't call him Corbenik, I mean what does that even mean anyway? I just call him Potato Knife for obvious reasons. There's actually several different forms but none of them as interesting as the first.

[CARRiON]

The Boss, from Metal Gear Solid 3.

 

 

Not so much her attack patterns or anything like that. More the implications of the fight itself, Where the fight takes place, and what it does to Naked Snake as a character. It was hard to fight her because of who she was to you, you didn't really want it to come to this. But alas...

[Lila Feuer]

Incubus from Silent Hill



Referred to in-game as Samael, this is the final boss for the good/good+ ending when the requirements are met and thus the true form of the evil that was manifested through the pain and suffering of Alessa from the cult's malevolence is revealed.

Not the most challenging fight in the Silent Hill series, but deals massive damage with its lightning attack only after a few strikes. Shoot when its charging its attack and then run in a circle around it to avoid the deadly thunderbolts.

[Swine & Roses]

Yami, from Ōkami.

 

 

Okay, gotta admit that fighting some robot sphere thingy inside a spaceship seems awkward after spending about 40 hours exploring ancient Japan.

But hell, that fight was epic. It begins with you being stripped of all your powers and ends with you becoming a literal god!

(oh, it's also a tear jerker haha)

Ganon, from the Ocarina of Time

 

While the boss didn't bring anything new to the table difficulty wise, the build-up to, presentation and atmosphere of the fight was top-notch.  

[Mr. Freeze]

 

The final fight against Pious Augustus is amazing. Playing as both the previous player characters and Alex made it feel incredibly epic.

Baal in Diablo II

Probably D'Sparil from Heretic.

Looks funny

[Kirby]

Gotta think more on this, but definitely a fan of Necrom fro FFIX

 

[MFG38]

The Icon of Sin.

 

Okay, but in all seriousness, I don't really have a favorite final boss. I do, however, have a few final bosses that are definitely up there, them being the following:

• Jun/Unknown (Tekken Tag Tournament 2)
• Atlas (Bioshock)
• Spider Mastermind (DOOM '16)
• Abarghus (Super House of Dead Ninjas)

The best dancer in the universe. 

[rehelekretep]

Gwyn from Dark Souls is the only one springing to mind at present. such an awesome subversion of the player's expectations.

 

[leodoom85]

The Bydo from R-Type Delta....

some spoilers incoming...

 

 

[TwinBeast]

Makron from Quake2 is pretty fun if not using powerups, and the first form looks like something that could have been in Doom (icon of sin that's not just a wall). Also liked the Leviathan mid boss in Dead Space, it had a more fun arena than the final boss.

[Agentbromsnor]

Yoshi's Island for the SNES.

Hands down one of the most epic boss-battles in the history of video-games.

Mine is probably queen myrrah and her war beetle tempest in gears of war 3.
