  • Halo 2: Tartarus - Halo in general: Truth and Regret. - Call of Duty Ghosts: Rorke. He was a cool, cool bad guy. He wore his hat backwards, used cool slang and always acted cool when he was in danger. - Call of Duty Advanced Warfare: Irons. This is the typical bad guy. Somebody that rose to power because of war and economy collapse.

Serious Sam in general, although some of them tend to be more miniboss than boss (looking at you, Major Bio-mechanoid and Khnum).

And then there’s Final Fantasy.

Can I say bowser for the lols. Na the hardest boss fight is not screaming and uninstalling when Jul M’dama doesn’t get to be a boss fight.

In regards to Halo, I would say Regret is the hardest. Especially on Heroic or Legendary. You have to dodge his Killer Beam of Death and predict where he will teleport to all the while dodging fire from Grunts and avoid being impaled from Elite Honour Guards.

With the Tartarus fight, you can just cheese it with a Banshee.

Nope. I’m not joking.

I don’t even remember tbh since it’s been forever since I’ve played a good amount of games, but I wouldn’t say it’s in Halo. If I could remember, it would probably a game from the NES or SNES days.

Best boss fights are definitely not Halo’s forte… the best ones are the one’s you barely recognized as boss fights until they were over. The Chieftain at the end of The Ark in H3 being a very well done fight. It’s really a mini-boss, but it required far more effort than the actual boss fight with GS anyway.

I love this fight because it can be handled two different ways. Either you fight all the henchmen first (and at some point the main guy will just berserk and attack you), or you challenge the main guy to a one-on-one match and then have to fight his henchmen afterwards. It’s an interesting dynamic and a very underrated mechanic that the devs inserted in H3.
