Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Each Metal Gear Solid game has a unique cast of bizarre bosses, but Snake Eater has some of the most memorable. The End nestles between the blades of grass, dying with each second he hunts you down. Volgin, on the other hand, is full of bravado, electricity coursing through his massive fists as he lays into you, giving no quarter. And while the Shagohod isn’t necessarily a Metal Gear, the nuclear tank still packs a punch.

Commanders, deities, demons – no matter which game you play, a boss fight is seemingly inevitable. That’s the proper thrill of it though. A boss fight is meant to be the culmination of your hero’s journey, an epic encounter to cap off the experience. Games like Shadow of the Colossus handle this trope deftly by featuring nothing but bosses and building to a dramatic climax.

However, there are some boss fights which rely on tough nuts and cookies to crack as often as they do mobs that endlessly spawn. Are they annoying? That depends on you but there are a good number of battles on here that could be irksome if you didn’t dispose of those endless minions during the fight.

Before he was nerfed, Skolas was one of the single most frustrating bosses to face in Destiny. Not only was a level higher, thus increasing the damage he dealt while decreasing your own damage, but he had a near endless supply of minions around him at a time. The mechanics of the fight were also extremely stressful with mines, the devouring essence and, oh yeah, Solar Burn and Arc Burn modifiers. A patch would make Skolas much more manageable along with having enemies appear at fixed intervals.

But once he’s out he isn’t too keen on going back. And that’s where you come in. His attacks seem similar to those of standard frost giants, but they pack quite the punch.

Cronos

As Kratos steps into the Pits of Tartarus he is greeted by Chronos, the titan banished to the deepest regions of the underworld. But to Kratos he is just another obstacle in his quest. So he fights the towering being, working his way up his leathery skin, ripping out his fingernails, pulling out his organs, and killing him in a suitably gruesome manner. But the mere size of your opponent is hard to comprehend, making it one of the most memorable fights in the entire series.
