14 Most Difficult Boss Fights of 2021 So Far

Apex Rathian – Monster Hunter Rise

While not having as many attacks as Allmother Narwa, Apex Rathian is no less of a threat. Along with tons of health, her poison and fire attacks can be near-lethal, especially when dealing with the thorns she leaves on the field that deal damage over time. Couple this with her constant movement and tail swipes, and Apex Rathian feels like the Dreadqueen of old (though slightly more forgiving).
