Games with Awesome Boss Battles

Seeing as no one has mentioned them I add both Ninja Gaiden's into the fray, Fucking Murai at the end of the first one and that **** fire fiend thing second time round in Ninja Gaiden 2

I liked God of War's bosses, particularly 3.

Kingdom Hearts 2 as well.

terraria, have you seen the shit they throw at you?

They're not really that difficult. Most just require planning and preparation.

i never said hard, they're just awesome

The old ones were meh, but the new ones are really fun to figure out how to kill.

They're not really that difficult. Most just require planning and preparation.

A lot of planning and preparation, though.

To face the Wall of Flesh Solo, you'll just about want to make wooden platforms across the underworld, flood the underworld even though it evaporates, just so a layer will of lava will turn to Obsidian and not be a danger to you. Get a pair of Rocket boots and Cloud in a Bottle, invest in buying a Minishark, invest in turning a Minishark into a Star Cannon, a Demon Scythe spellbook, hundreds of ammunition for your Minishark or Star Cannon(or hopefully both), all the hellforge items(that includes a boomerang), loads of restoration potions, max health and mp, an ironskin potion, a magic potion, and an Obsidian Skin potion, just in case you didn't build enough bridge.

And it's STILL possible to die. Especially if you don't manage to multitasking keeping both your HP up and keeping distance from the Wall of Flesh at the same time. (You get cornered, you get lots of damage, it's best to keep no pillars hung up high in the sky. Take those Obsidian bricks and add them to your home, and take those hellforges and put them in your home once you get the Molten Hamaxe. You don't have to worry about them being melted in the lava if you make a mistake, and you don't have to worry about those towers jutting into the sky getting in your way)

And all of this preparation takes loads of hours to accomplish.

Personally, I recommend a sandgun. Because sand is the easiest ammunition to get a hold of. But that costs a lot of money to make. If one actually cares to earn it, the quickest way I've found is to face loads and loads of earth eaters and sell their remains. About 20 worm foods should be plenty prepared to have a boss rush and afford the illegal gun parts.

I remember the first time I went up against the wall of flesh. Drank all the necessary potions, unloaded 150 stars with the Star Cannon... then died! I was pissed! I took me quite a while to gather those stars. Ended up killing it using a Molten Fury bow.

Metal Gear Solid in which you have...

The round-n-round cowboy shootout
the man vs tank battle
the Ninja fight
Psycho Fucking Mantis
The sniper battle
Man vs Hind
Sniper Battle part 2
Metal Gear itself
Final battle: fist-fight atop flaming ruins
epilogue: driving off on a jeep with a mounted LMG

Considering the fact that Solid is supposed to be a stealth game, the boss fights are balls-to-the-freaking-wall.

Also Lou. Playing Guitar Hero 3 and having a Guitar Battle against Lou to Devil went Down to Georgia was freaking awesome...on medium and easy that is...on Hard and Hard 2.0 it's just unfair...
