Best bosses with a surprising second phase

The bosses are the cornerstone of most games. We would dare say that in some cases the game is just as good as its bosses. And part of what makes the boss good is diversity in their struggle; The feeling when you think you have learned all the head patterns, and then throws curveball.

It's even better if it's a surprise, whether it's a complete change in the boss's line -up, or when the game makes you think that you actually defeated the boss, only for their health bar to fill again.

Shadow Shido

Persona 5 Royal

Masayoshi Shido is a boss who has been publicized all the game. When you finally meet him, it is no push-up, especially in vanilla personality 5. The fight is really epic, thanks to the iconic rivers of songs in the desert playing in the background.

Maybe his second phase is not a surprise, but last one is. Once you defeat its initial forms of human victim, you will face its Samael form and next to its real Samael form, but when you drop it low, you get an epic battle of one on one, just Joker and he.

Chyk

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes

The Metroid Prime series is known for having some average bosses, but also some amazing. Fighter Chykka is one of the good. You will start the fight against Lada, which swims in a poisonous pool with a huge health bar. Nothing too crazy.

But as soon as you beat it, you thought it was it, but out of nowhere, adult chykka flies in and the second phase begins. You are shocked and caught out of sight. This phase is better – much harder and exciting, with a lot of things that need to be taken into account at the same time.

Mother's brain

Super metroid

One of the best games ever ended ends with a surprising struggle for the bosses of the second phase. The fight against the mother's brain begins as you expect, and as in the first Metroid. Just shoot on a one -eyed brain and avoid lava and projectiles.

After the “defeat”, you may think you won the game. But Mother Brain thinks differently, stands up with a brand new bipedal body and is much more dangerous. In fact, Samus himself is not enough to defeat it, and requires the help of his infant – now super -metroid, at the epic and film ends of the game.

Rayvis

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Jedi: Survivor is basically Star Wars meets the dark soul. It is an excellent game that translates all the forces and abilities of the Jedi we see in the movies and the show into the game. The survey and Metroidvania-Esque features create an entertaining experience for every Star Wars fan.

Rayvis is one of the chief bosses of the game and it can be a challenge if you play on the difficulty of the Jedi Grand Master. As soon as you run away his health bar; Now the fight is much harder because it is very aggressive, so the struggle will attack less to attack recklessly and more about patience and parrying, such as real Jedi.

Hades

Hades

The first few hours is the only thing you will see about the chief boss of the game, Hades, his passively aggressive comments and mockery whenever you fail to escape the underworld. Obviously he is not a candidate for the Father of the Year. But things are interesting to reach it.

He just gets enough suffering. Now you have to fight the guy and he will hit you with everything he has. You will have to use all your blessings, synergies and defiance of death. And even then, it may not be enough, especially because once you beat it, get up, fill your health bar and find it even harder.

3

Soul Master

Hollow Knight

Another boss, who is hard to achieve as it is, let alone the fight itself. For the first player, Soul Sanctum is a terrible place, full of mistakes and folies, which constantly responds, not to mention mini-chiefs: Soul Twisters and Soul Warriors. If you survive all this and reach the bench, you are on treatment.

The Soul Master will really make you think that you have beat him: blows out, screams dramatically and flashes throughout the screen, as if he were really dead. But when you are going to continue your adventure, it slams the floor and begins the second phase you never expected.

2

Ludwig, crossing / Ludwig, Holy blade

Bloodborne

Probably the best boss in the game full of good bosses, Ludwig came to a recognized DLC for Bloodborne, old hunters. The struggle begins to cross, a tragic character completely consumed Beastod and attacks with very unbalanced and unpredictable behavior.

In the middle of the fight he regains a large part of his consciousness and turns into a holy blade. This is a massive and unexpected change in battle. With his attacks, he becomes much more rational and much harder, making exciting and hard fighting.

Guardian Ape

Sekiro: Shadows die twice

That's the big one. She never had a game that would suffer so many people and fight one of the most difficult bosses of the game and showed you the “Shinobi Execution” screen, literally tells you that That you beat the boss just to revive a few seconds later with a whole new movement.

Now the headless ape becomes completely erratic and unpredictable, which can be expected. Now he is fighting with a huge sword that covers a lot of reach, making it difficult to approach and personal damage. This is really one of those moments you will never forget, because you thought you had already defeated it and realized you were only halfway.
