For me it was almost all of the bosses because all of them took me 10s of tries. But that game is memorable for me because it gave me a bragging point against my friends. I managed to learn parry and be good at it and they couldn't so I could beat the final boss and they couldn't. They were forced to use cheats to beat him but even than the QTE part destroyed them😂😂😂.

The Annihilation fight was insane. Learning the moves and then the second stage flips that on you with the world swapping. It was an exhilarating fight that I wish I could experience for the first time again.

[@Dreznin]

It was hard as hell while still learning it and I know people that swear, just like this video says, that it's pure luck if you can live through it or not... it's not though, there are only certain attacks that will transition and it gives you just enough time to see what's going to come at you that you can dodge it just fine if you're not button mashing. The amount of salt that Annihilation caused when the game was still new was incredible, especially when Nightweaver and Venom existed.

[@harroWynndubz]

Should have mentioned that the guardian ape boss in sekiro also has a second optional boss fight if you passed the area first and man that boss fight is hard as a second ape comes to help the headless ape

About Malenia. I suck at Souls games, and it was the second evening I tried to beat Malenia. Eventually I put Blood Tax on the Great Épée, and called the Mimic with this same equipment. In the fight I had to heal only the damage I got from calling the Mimic, and the Mimic, which was present from the first second of her first phase, finished her second phase on full health. Malenia's got severe allergy to Blood Tax.

The guardian ape’s second phase in Sekiro is definitely easier, because it’s now using a sword which is easier to time with parrying. Parrying its claw swipes in the first phase was harder for me.

Kicking it off with Midra, the Lord or Frenzy! My absolute favorite boss of the DLC! He's so cool looking, I always wanted a piece of him from the original game, and now I got it, literally! lmao

[@rusgabriel1]

I'm glad Remnant 2's final boss made the list. It's literally the first boss I thought of. The trick to surviving isn't luck or even your build, though of course that helps. It's SOUND CUES! the sound in Remnant 2 can be very informative. I've beaten the game twice on the hardest difficulty and that's what helped me most. That and getting gud 😁

[@ItsJustRyansChannel]

I'm kind of sad the Rat King from TLOU2 didn't at least make #20 or 19. I mean.. anyone who remembers playing that for the FIRST time as you're exploring that dark ass hospital knows what I mean. And it DOES count as a transforming boss. It technically has 3 stages, with the final stage being when the stalker peels off of it and you still have to find your way out and get past it. For some, it may not have been a "hard boss", not damn Elden Ring level hard or anything, but it was still scary and still counts.

[@RagnarokMic]

I made it through all of DS3 without putting any points into life, Sister Friede broke me, every move one hit killed me, and the 3rd phase kept getting me. Finally went back and respec’d enough life to survive an attack and beat her.

I’ll add the final boss in Pepper Grinder, which is an amazing Indy game that came out earlier this year. It took me a while and so many tries to beat the final boss, way harder than anything that came before. Highly recommend it.
