The Bosses of Resident Evil 4 - Remake Ranked from Worst to Best

I still find Ashley to be way more annoying and rage inducing than any boss in this game. She’s constantly in the way…will literally crouch next to enemies that are advancing on you, so you can’t do crowd control without worrying about hitting her. The armor for her is basically a necessity

I honestly liked Mendez’s fight a lot more in the remake than in the original. Mostly due to the graphics and the fact that he was saying a bunch of stuff during his fight. In the original I was just kind of running around and trying to shoot him. So seeing him have a couple new moves here was pretty appreciated if you ask me. But then again, that’s just preference.

same! only thing i didn't like, like it was mentioned in this video, was his off-screen transformation

[@remediosusi5869]

Mendez and Saddler in the remake more of a diehard zealot completely absorbed and convinced with the religious nonsense they are following

[@osurpless]

And that was before you knew how weak he was to incendiaries. Afterwards, you never do anything else beyond remembering to save 3-4 of them for Mendez specifically.

[@WolphL0]

@@osurpless Fact, people need to remember how Mendez was piss easy in the original. As SOON as you find out his weakness to fire, he's just not fun anymore. Incendiary grenades were literally quite useless in the original outside of this bossfight. This time however they actually made him difficult.

Krauser was and remain the most amazing part of the RE4 boss sequence. The fight on knifes reminds of samurai battles.

[@cloudshines812]

I think we should have an honorable mention for Super Salvador… an exclusive boss and enemy made for the Chainsaw Demo’s hidden game mode “Mad Chainsaw Mode”. Super Salvador applies the same like original Salvador, except he comes with a new fresh coat of white paint that makes him look like Jason from Friday The 13th Part 2, and his chainsaw got a major change. Its glowing bright fiery red and orange blades are no joke as Super Salvador charges at you at Lightning Speed, combined with his larger health… and worst of all… a single parry will instantly break your knife. On top of Mad Chainsaw mode already being ludicrously difficult, Super Salvador is an absolute nightmare to defeat and it doesn’t help that every other Gonado will try and stop you dead in your tracks for Salvador to deliver a killing blow…

[@autumnpixiedust00]

Just finished my 1st ever playthrough. I never played any RE games before (mostly because I'm a big scaredy-cat). I just went and bought this due to the major hype it's in. I must say I am pleasantly delighted. 1st and foremost, this game has a unique "tutorial" where they just let you jump into it, swarmed by Ganados and chainsaw guy right at the beginning with almost zero ammo. The actual hints about stealth and parrying came at the next section , which tells me that this game do not hold your hand the whole way with long-ass tutorial about the mechanics. The gun mechanics are top-tier, The combats are satisfying. The pacing is very well thought of. The side quests / requests are nice little additions, complimenting your journey without making it feel too bloaty. The BOSSES. OH MY GOD. They're terrifying, also satisfying when you defeat them. All in all, a 10000/10 game.

[@DakonBlackblade2]

You can totally drop the unarmored gigante in the fire, either stun him on top of the grate by shooting the plaga when it shows or, for a much easier time, throw a flash grenade while he is standing on the grate and voila. Also the zealots don't spawn infinitly on the double garradors fight, there are 4 waves (the last has 2 stage 2 plaga ganados) and you are suposed to use them as shield, bait the garradors towards the zealots so that they slice the poor bastards to bits then stab or shoot the garrador.

[@ObiJohnKenobi67]

I sunk them both, felt freaking awesome. I like how they make you lose out on the treasure if you do it that way, makes it sort of a gamble of whether using the resources to take him down is worth it.

15:45 Saddler in the original not only has way more screen time but it is kind of clear that he was just using the whole religious prophet act as a front to gain control over the region. In the new it feels like he actually believes it.

[@jollygrapefruit786]

Saddlers fight was fantastic IMO. Extremely imposing transformation, and blasting those eyeballs with my shotgun was chefs kiss. Plus his final form was the perfect dump for all the magnum ammo I refused to use to speedrun Ada's rocket launcher.

[@LegendOfKhaos12]

You can’t kill him without the special rocket launcher tho…?

[@iqbalmohamadradzi4387]

@@LegendOfKhaos12 You misunderstood him. When he said speedrun Ada's rocket launcher, he means to reduce the time taken to wait for Ada to give the rocket launcher to Leon since Saddler final form is time based where the more damage you did to him, the time will reduce drastically. Meaning, you can just dodge all his attacks until Ada give the rocket launcher but it'll take a longer time. So using the magnum on Saddler final form is the best in this situation.

[@Cherryfalll]

I played the game in vr and I must say it turns both krauser fights to number one because you actually need to block irl instead of hitting a button

[@nooni213]

how is dr. salvador so low he’s literally such an iconic mini boss i dont understand how you guys thought he was forgettable. when i think of re one of the first things i think about is dr salvador

[@TheRealWalt]

Admittedly, in the OG re4, I just opened up Salazar and shot him with a rocket launcher since he was an unmoving target. But now, since he moves around and actually talks about stuff, I really like his boss fight. Not just because it is mechanically fun, but also because it reinforces the lore behind him being basically the runt of the Salazar family, with some of his insults he says to Leon having been said to him by his family. Originally, I didn't like the redesign of Salazar, but now I think that Capcom wanted to make him a bit more serious than "haha funny small man go brrr."

[@Avana-una-na]

I have the same opinion! The boss fight is better, and since I really enjoy his remake voice it was great listening to his lines during the fight. I really like that we can get to know a little how his life was, insulted and laughed at. The fact that he uses the insult directed to him to Leon now...

[@etheriousnatsudragneel9612]

12:38 ok that trash talk to KH was totally uncalled for 😂😂

[@samuraigames4125]

The best boss fight in re is krauser, on a another level., absolutely the best, not only is Krauser is a badass and has some tragic history with leon, it's one of the only bosses who actually feel like an honorable good duel and not your typical gooey monster boss battle, knife to knife, gun to gun, human to human, both badass equals, master and apprentice fighting in an all deathmatch, it just gives you such a good feel and the bosses and the dialagues and story are really good. I loved Krauser. And in his final moments, his death, the only time where he called leon by his name rather than rookie, the moment he got defeated, got proud, it gives my the same vibes as sekiro where you fight owl and he says "defeated, by my own son? The feeling is not entirely unpleasant"

[@mistertoups]

the zealots in the twin garrador eventually stop spawning, it just takes forever. I loved that fight though, it basically requires you to pit the garradors against the zealots until the situation becomes manageable. reminds me of doom monster in-fighting strats.

[@siohmy]

Yep. Zealots do not infinitely respawn. Get the garrador’s to attack them as Andrew suggests and ensure your bolt gun is loaded up with bolts. You can generally despatch them with without drawing too much attention to yourself.

[@martinherrera25]

idk if someone else tried it as well, but my strategy was to do all the zealot fights with only the knife 😂 so u make the least amount of sound, it took some time and effort but it was worth it cuz i could kill the garradors with stealth, it also helps that the garradors can kill the zealots, and it saves some time

[@patrykpiesinski3812]

And second Verdugo

[@dansbigfanguitarist]

You can sink both Gigante’s into the lava pit, you just have to get them stunned in their on a knee animation. I sunk the regular and armored one on my first playthrough, but I always had trouble dropping them into the lava without stunning them in the original, which is why I tried that first. Also, couldn’t agree more about Krauser. I like saddler more as a villain too, but my favorite from the original was Salazar. That fight was always so cool and wild to me, but I did enjoy the new version as well. The Krauser fight is just such an upgrade, and pushes you to use all the skills you’ve learned throughout the game to win. That fight was the final bit challenge of the game, which I really liked.

[@GuyOnAChair]

I think Del Lago should be the bottom of the list. It's an improvement of a memorable looking part (the kind of thing you can put in an ad or the back of a box) but VERY limited fight what with the QTE's being removed but all you di is get dragged along on rails and all you do is chuck spears.

[@SaveAwesomeMatt]

I actually went into the Krauser fight without the body armor. I didn’t know what it did and I was never certain how much difference it made in the original so I was like “eh I’ll spend my money on weapon upgrades.” Looking back I wish I did have it haha. I also drained a lot of my ammo on the chase sequence going in and had to fight mutant Krauser with mainly the knife. My thought was “well of course you’re expected to use the knife; it’s Krauser! Yeah no it was pretty difficult… the small amounts of ammo I did find in the arena weren’t much help but after some practice and learning what I could dodge and parry I took the jerk down. Also, starting off on hardcore was maybe not the BEST decision.

I remember Saddlers fight in the original game recieving a fair bit of criticism from other creators, but to me it looks like the new version of the fight is an improvement in nearly every way, both in visuals and gameplay

[@joshuaweston6531]

Wow! I just got through commenting on your video about the original version's bosses...and now here we go again! Good list. Here's mine: 09. Twin El Gigante: Really, the only reason they're at the bottom is because something has to be. And it's still a fight where there are two instead of one, which is never my favorite. I agree that great effort was taken to make this more of an actual encounter in the REmake. For one, you've got Luis by your side, turning this into a two on two battle instead of a two on one rape. On top of that, the armored SOB requires Luis' help to even defeat. But the best addition to this encounter by far is something else entirely. Imagine my surprise when no matter how many times I baited the Gigante over to the trap door, it would suddenly back off from it the moment I went to open it! Watching them both skirt around the center death trap made me realize something. I'm no longer dealing with the Gigante's inbred cousins anymore! 08. Mutated Saddler: My feelings towards this boss remain pretty much the same as in the original. Saddler's mutation looks appropriately disgusting and yeah, you do get to pop some glowing eyeballs. That's about the end of the fun though, because now you've got basic Novistadors to contend with as well. Sure, they aren't particularly difficult and they are fitting considering Saddler is seen with these things swarming around him during the game. However, there's a limit to how many targets I want to be firing at in a boss fight. That's what basic swarms of enemies are for. You know, like I've been doing for the entire game...His second transformation is fine, but somewhat unnecessary. Especially since it's piss easy now that you've only got one big eyeball to pop. I think part of the problem is that I've never confronted Saddler (In the REmake or original) without being armed to the teeth with magnum rounds. I always save my best supply for last. It's not really a fault of the boss, but more of a consequence of how survival horror games play. At least how I play them. Come to think of it, final bosses in RE games don't tend to be my favorites on average. 07. El Gigante: I've said it before and I'll say it again, the more times this dude appears the less enthralling even his original battle becomes. There are, after all, three more of these guys just like in the original. That being said, it was pretty cool seeing this behemoth in a shiny new coat of paint. Uglier than ever and now in high def! The fight is pretty similar to the original. Not much changed here. I do like how tenacious the doggo is this time around. He may be an anklebiter, but boy is he not afraid to get in there! I kinda miss how Gigante fucks up several villagers in the original though... 06. Del Lago: This is another boss that didn't change all that much from the original. Then again, if the design is solid then why mess with it, eh? Once again, it's nice to see Lago get the REmake treatment. Other than that, it's a good boss for all the same reasons as the original. It's intense and it's the only fight in the game where you're forced to ditch your gear and fight it with an endless supply of harpoons Leon bought for dirt cheap at the Pesetas General Store. 05. Mutated Salazar: Wow did the REmake vastly improve Salazar's boss fight! No longer content with taking a seat and letting Leon pump his Magnum into him, Ramon actually decides to try to fight back! First off, I much prefer the design. This teethy mouth monster flys around the arena like a langolier on coke! The bosses added mobility really forces you to take stock of where he is in relation to your position at pretty much all times. You're encouraged to get close for big damage, but this comes at the risk of being bitten, which is an insta kill. Suffice it to say, I was pretty reckless when first fighting Ramon, and I died multiple times because of it. This was the moment I realized that I actually had to try. The moment I realized Ramon was actually a challenge this time around! Even on my second playthrough, when I was using the Killer 7, I was surprised to find it lasted longer than I expected. Good job Capcom for improving on one of the games weakest links!

[@conmanay4563]

[@hundido9287]

If anyone is suffering against the chainsaw sisters on pro, you can exploit their AI by going outside the arena and then going back in, just get close to the point where you can shot the castellan and the sisters will stop, look at you for a few seconds and then they will try to go back into the arena, just shot at them with the red 9 or the sniper rifle, It is the safest metod I found.

[@CallaBarlowe]

1:50 While chainsaws absolutely aren't good for medicine, the chainsaw was originally designed to be used in healthcare. They changed it, obviously, but it was designed for healthcare. I think it was supposed to help with childbirth, to cut through the pelvises I'm pretty sure, which is terrifying to think of, but it obviously didn't stay that way.

Garradors zealots do not respawn infinitely. I did the whole fight knife only by parrying and slashing them first and then moving on to the garradors alone

In the dual gigante boss fight, if you cut between them and lure the one without armor over the lava, and throw a flash grenade you can get him at the beginning. Then you just survive till Luis grabs the dynamite and bam, easy Peezy.

[@KanzlerOttoVonBismarck]

On del lago, when I first played the remake I thought the original fight better, because it just felt more intense, you were constantly getting thrown out of the boat and having to mash buttons to get swim back. But after I played it a second time, I went back and liked it more than the original. It's movement pattern is very interesting, the way it starts going underwater and jumping out trying to get you, sometimes jumping so high out of the water, while also jumping in and out trying to avoid getting hit after it takes some damage. The fight gets very intense near the end. Also, I started to apreciate the lack of quick time events

[@samd2013]

I also used to think the zealots were infinite spawning during the double garrador fight, but they do in fact stop spawning in after around 15-20ish of them die. The only way I was able to beat this on pro mode new game, was to use the bolt thrower and flash grenades in the lower half of the room until they all finally stopped spawning in. Only then was I able to try and take on the two garradors who were still chained to the wall. Easily the part of the game I was stuck on the most on new game pro.

I totally disagree with Bitores' opinion. 2005 fight was the Big Cheese in every way (1st phase was the easiest part of the game, and 2nd phase is about fast incendiary+some slugs, or 30k pesetas invested in RPG -which costs A LOT in Re-), so the new fight was quite enjoyable.

[@chidori0117]

Man I feel for mendez you really had rose colored googles on.... the original fight was literally "shoot him until hes close, run past him to the other side of arena, shoot him until hes close" repeat for both phases and occasionally do the qte in phase 2. In the remake during phase 1 you can either fight on the floor which is harder or go top where you can evade/parry. Second phase yeah you have to doge the stuff he throws which is at leat a mechanic and when he comes close you dont stand in front of him and need to duck his wild swinging stuff. I am not trying to diss the old game but due to the movement limitations thats just how it played. I also find it kind of weird that you put out a boss ranking while obviously having fought the bosses maybe once since for example for el gigante and the double el gigante you neither know what the wolf does nor how the dropchute actually works. I mean I guess I can just take it as an opinion piece after first playthrough but the reasoning is not really all that great.

[@Cytonox]

thanks for watching moe

[@chrisgodfrey1880]

I liked Mendez more in the original but I still wouldn't have put the original much higher in the ranking either. It was a great boss, but in a game with constantly great bosses Mendez never stuck out to me all that much. He always felt too easy and simple for me to place very high up. A high placement on a boss ranking requires a combined degree of great aesthetics and great challenge. Mendez had the aesthetically pleasing part down but in both versions was woefully easy to me which lowered his placement in comparison to others found later. I never felt I was short on ammo during his fight, never felt I was overly close to death, just no major threat at all. PS while I haven't with the remake at least on the original I base them all on Professional difficulty as once it's available I never play on lower settings

Just read that it's probably DLC bait and ehhhhhhhhhhh that's kinda ass, at least acknowledge in the main game that the second one just up and poofed out of the narrative.

This game did everything perfect except the use of Mendez. I Hoped they made im like mr.x. But still a must play

[@hi00118]

Also one of my deaths on the Saddler fight was from a scripted bit of him destroying a bridge section that happened to be where I was standing at the time. Pissed me off lol

[@giannismith5041]

I’m sorry, but that Mendez take is just some one dying too many times on Mendez, Mendezs first phase on hardcore was the scripted phase, he will do either the straight hit attack or evade attack and sometimes judgement attack, the second is one of my favorite fights in the game, it’s really fun since you have to look at where he’s aiming to see if you run sideways or double back, the original Mendez was probably my least favorite fight in the game cuz of how simple it was, still a great fight but the remake made it beautiful

[@feircy]

I actually did the El Gigante duo fight in reverse. I dump the regular one in the lava and then I fought the armored one.

[@aaronmay4833]

Very good video, and funny KH side-jab. I see some stuff differently, f.e Saddler is easily one of the worst bosses(in both games) and I think he is free, but if he is that high on the list because of how good the scenario was then I understand it. I think Krauser 1 is pretty fair. Also second phase Big Cheese really sucked.

[@Johnny-nf2ww]

I actually managed to drop both Gigantes in that furnace map

[@joshuaweston6531]

04. Jack Krauser: I enjoyed fighting Krauser in the original, but Oh Man was I not prepared for the improvement! Fighting Krauser is even more fun now! What was once merely a QTE interactive cutscene has blossomed into this beautiful waltz. A waltz of death where you get to slice and jab your knife into your opponent. Blocking, parrying, ducking and flipping in a fast paced contest to see who's the best...epic! The sheer amount of combat options really adds to the engagement of this fight. On top of that you get an, albeit brief, conversation about Leon and Krauser's time during Operation Javier and Luis gets one last chance to help out before his inevitable demise. The only thing keeping this out of the top three is the fact that it's meant to be a teaser fight, and therefore, doesn't last very long. The dance ends just about as you're really getting into it. Even so, both of the Krauser fights are inarguably some of the most enjoyable in the game. 03. Mutated Mendez: I'm actually a bit split on this one. There's things here I really like that the REmake has added, but a couple of things I prefer in the original. As for the things I like...well for starters I love, as I do with most of the bosses in this game, how the knife can be used mechanically in the fight. I feel like this is the first boss where you get a real good taste of that. I also like his added attacks in the form of throwing large chunks of burning rubble at Leon. I didn't personally find these that difficult to avoid, but they still clipped me every now and again. Now onto the things I preferred in the original. For one, I agree with you on the transformation and how it went down versus the REmake. The other big thing is the arena itself. The arena in the REmake is a bit too open for my tastes. I mean, I get that it was done to facilitate the new moveset in the second phase, but there was something about being able to climb up into the rafters and kinda hide from the Big Cheese that added to the atmosphere in the original. There were also moments where you'd lose track of him while he was swinging around in his second phase. The new arena seems very videogamey, whereas the original felt like it was just the inside of some random barn. Regardless, I like the atmosphere in both versions, and it was awesome to see the bosses design in the new engine! 02. Mutated Krauser: I had a hard time deciding who would for sure take the top spot, but I knew exactly which ones would end up in the top two! This fight is great for all the reasons mentioned before. First and foremost being the implementation of the knife mechanics, which can now be used to parry Krauser in his transformation phase. Like in the original, this is still a battle of attrition. You can't end Krauser without having to move to various arenas while he toys with you throughout. Unlike in the original, however, this section is condensed. I also just like the traps better. Gone are the spider like drones from the original, which were never my favorite. Now you have more practical traps in the form of trip mines, and Krauser firing rockets at you when you turn a corner. In general, Krauser is more invested in this part of the battle and it really nailed that feeling of being hunted by your opponent. Then when you do get to square off to the death with Krauser it gets even more intense! Krauser mutates and has a host of new moves at his disposal. It's fast and it can't be cheesed this time around! In my second playthrough I dropped him with one well placed magnum shot to the head! It was satisfying! I also really enjoyed the end cutscene between him and Leon. As I watched Leon pick up the knife, while Krauser told him to do what he had to do, I was fully expecting Leon to suddenly drop the knife and say something about how he's not like Krauser. Which would have been very dumb! Leaving Krauser alive would mean he'd just keep coming for Leon. But no, Leon steels himself and to my surprise, runs Krauser through with it! Leon is no longer a naive rookie! An excellent moment that caps off a rather personal battle between two former comrades. One of the absolute best additions to the REmake! 01. Verdugo: That's right, I put him at number one in your last video and I'm doing it again! The fight with Verdugo is every bit as enjoyable as the one with Krauser, in a similar but also very different way. This is another one the REmake improved upon over the original. Like with Krauser, it's a one versus one battle where you're being hunted. Unlike with Krauser, this feeling remains throughout the entirety of the fight. And unlike Krauser, you are fighting an unfamiliar opponent. This, coupled with Verdugo's disturbing and now much more graphically detailed presence, really makes you feel like you're being chased by a superior creature. Something that could kill you with ease if you let it get too close. I can only imagine the feeling for new players who have never played the original! Speaking of the original, While I do like the darker arena, I think I do prefer the cryogenic look of the new one. For one thing, it allows you to get a much clearer look at what's stalking you. That's not the only change I like. In the original you simply had to shoot canisters to freeze Verdugo, which you could pretty easily bait him into. Now, with the cryo showers, there's an element of timing involved. Oh, and if you're thinking it's actually pretty easy because so long as you turn them on when he's behind you you're pretty much golden...wrong! On one occasion I literally watched him stop in his tracks from chasing me just before the cryo shower after I had turned it on, turn around and disappear, only to have him crawl out of a tunnel on my opposite side! So yeah, good AI! Plus the cryo showers can actually hurt Leon as well, so there's that. Another thing I Iike is that should the fight continue for long enough, the cryo showers become unusable. On my second playthrough, this became a problem for me, as I could no longer freeze my ex lover. So I tried to fight it the old fashioned way and promptly ran out of every bit of ammo I had, save for my magnum rounds, the weapon for which was in storage for the late game. So I was forced to fend it off with the knife. No lie, right as I was down to only a sliver of health with no healing items left and was convinced I was going to die and have to redo the fight from the beginning, I managed to get a lucky knife jab in dead into it's face which suddenly dropped the bastard! I kinda paused when it happened and just took a moment to stare at it's corpse lying on the ground, thinking to myself, "Did I actually just pull that off?" Without a doubt one of the most satisfying moments in my entire experience with the game. THAT is what a survival horror boss should be. Not something easy that you can just pump a ton of rounds into and call it a day, but something that forces you to think strategically and do whatever it takes to survive! I actually really love how the knife can be utilized in this fight. It's pretty cool to block the thing's stinger tail as it clinks against your knife multiple times in a row! Really loved the sequence, especially in this REmake! It's a shame about U3 to be sure, but I'm really happy Verdugo survived the cutting room floor! Besides, I'm still holding out hope that the U3 will make it into a Separate Ways DLC...🤞!

Imo Saddler should be way lower, his boss fight was extremely easy since you have a merchant and typewriter right before his fight and can spend money almost wastefully in order to beat him. I legit sold everything I had barring the sniper and killer 7 to by a rocket launcher and instantly delete his first phase and his second phase was easy.

Great video, Guys! While it's a shame that some of the bosses were actually downgraded from the original, it's promising to hear that the Remake improved a lot more of them. Also, I'm glad they got rid of the stupid QTE-infused knife-fight cutscene with Krauser in favor of an actual fight. 2023 is certainly turning out to be a major year for great remakes. Here's hoping the System Shock Remake lives up to that standard. Anyway, I'm enjoying your content as always and look forward to your future uploads!
