A personal list on the ten hardest bosses I have ever faced in video games. This list is entirely my opinion. If you feel there's another boss that should be on this list, feel free to shout out. But keep the negative comments to yourself. You'll just get a negative comment review anyway. Anyways, enjoy the video!

Update: 60k views?!! Thank you all so much for watching! I had no idea this video would become so widely watched. I hope that when I make the revision to this list, it will be even BETTER! Thank you all for the support!

I will not tolerate criticism of this list simply because they are for the most part not from games that are rated T. And Omega is from Final Fantasy, so PLEASE stop saying "where the hell is _____ from Final Fantasy _?"

And I now have Final Fantasy 7 and 12, as well as Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. I hope to include bosses from those games in my future update.

ADDITIONAL INFO ON BOSSES ON THE LIST (DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED)

10: The Shadow Queen (Paper Mario: TTYD)
Length of Battle: Long
# of different attacks: High
Annoyingness: Low
She's on this mainly due to the fact that her AND her hands attack you, and she has high HP.

9: Omega (Final Fantasy 5)
Length of Battle: Very Short
# of attacks: A lot
Annoyingness: Very High
This thing can remove party members from battle PERMANENTLY (until the battle ends) and has wicked powerful other moves. Too bad you can kill it in one hit.

8: The Biolizard (Sonic Adventure 2)
Length of Battle: Medium
Variety of attacks: A lot of difficult-to-dodge attacks
Annoyingness: High
The final few attacks this thing uses are obscene, especially the final attack. You can't get back any rings you drop when floating in the air, so two hits from the floating eggs, and you're screwed.

7: Bouldergeist (Prankster Comet, Super Mario Galaxy)
Length of Battle: Short
Variety of attacks: Quite a few once it gets hands
Annoyingness: High
You only have ONE HP to kill this thing. And its flying rocks home in on you. Talk about a disadvantage.

6: Elite Four (Pokemon Emerald)
JUST BEAR WITH ME. I found the Elite Four hard on the first playthrough, so please, don't go complaining about how you find them to be easy.
Length of battle: Drake and Wallace take a while to defeat
Variety of attacks: Each member of the Elite Four has a crapload of different Pokemon
Annoyingness: Starts Low, getting progressively harder.
Drake's dragons all have high stats (especially Salamence) and Wallace just has powerful Pokemon like Gyarados and Milotic that take a while to beat.

5: Weldar (Banjo-Tooie)
Length of Battle: Short
Variety of attacks: A few
Annoyingness: High
After it loses 3 HP, the floor becomes electrical, so you have to focus on doging its fiery blasts, AND the floor! Trust me, that's harder than it sounds.

4: King K. Rool (Donkey Kong 64)
Length of Battle: VERY long
Variety of Attacks: Has five different phases, so has many attacks.
Annoyingness: High
If you lose to K. Rool once, you have to restart the whole match from DK!

3: Culex (Super Mario RPG)
Length of Battle: Long
Variety of attacks: Huge amount of magic
Annoyingness: Medium
This thing's magic is a killer. It has attacks like Corona and Dark Star for killing you, and that Wind Crystal can turn you into Mushrooms! And you have to kill everything on the screen, too.

2: Cackletta (Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga)
Length of Battle: Very Long
Variety of attacks: Insane variety of attacks, gets more powerful attacks as it loses HP. All attacks are hard to dodge.
Annoyingness: Very High
This thing has a ton of HP and cheap attacks. Heal when necessary and PAY ATTENTION to Cackletta so you can dodge her!

1: The HAG 1 (Banjo-Tooie)
Length of Battle: VERY long
Variety of attacks: A large amount of attacks. Speed of Grunty's spells is lower if you get a question correct, but is always fast in the final stage of the battle.
Annoyingness: VERY High, mainly due to the fact that her spells become very hard to dodge later in the battle.
This thing has immense HP, a huge variety of attacks, and what do you have? a few honeycombs worth of life, and maybe cheats. Without cheats, this is probably the most frustrating thing I have ever faced. Especially in Replay Mode... no cheats and only 5 honeycombs!!! This thing isn't THAT hard with good dodging, but beating it in replay mode could take a LONG time, hence why it's #1.

  • Totally agree with ...

    Totally agree with Bouldergeist, but Elite 4 are pathetically easy. If you catch Raquaza, the whole of the elite 4 are a cakewalk.

  • A nasty hard boss ...

    A nasty hard boss that I faced was the rather evil Bongo-Bongo from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Bongo Bongo's evil because you can only see him via Lens of Truth, which S**ks away your magic power. The bongo-hits sometimes make you get out of your arrow shooting mode due to so much movement, his attacks take multiple hearts, and if you make a missed shot at his eye when he sweeps for you, you get hurt there too AND his hands revive! I've only beaten him with the biggoron sword. Bleh...

  • Lol, you need to ...

    Lol, you need to play some harder games.
    Rpg games don't count as super hard bosses either. If you fight pretty much everything you see, the bosses will be a cinch.
    And Grunty is your top? She is an amazingly fun battle!
    Only one I agree with is Weldar, I hated that bastard.

  • well, if u include ...

    well, if u include bosses from other than nintendo games, theres lot of bosses who r pretty tough, like seromus, sephiroth, and my favorite: abyssion from tales of symphonia on mania mode, this is one tough boss which use most technique and hi-ougi from all ur characters and has lot of hp, and worse, u cant use nebilim weapons on him, the best way to beat him, is to use an all-divide, to let time to raine to heal you

  • i agree, the ...

    i agree, the bouldergeist is no problem normally but when you only have one hp..yeah x.x if it wasn't the pillars of rock coming out of the ground it was the homing rocks...i ran around in circles for several minutes before i would attack it..
    and the elite four..i don't think i had too much problems with the others but Wallace...he murdered most of my pokemon and that Milotic..so annoying to kill!

    you make an interesting point. i suppose the last bowser from super mario 64 qualifies as a challange. i might take this into consideration for the revision to this video.
