[@rezonshinde7948]

Would love to see a list for worst bosses in fromsoftware games as they are known for the Boss fights and the games themselves are like a boss rush. That would make sense 'coz GOW series has always been story driven so their fights are more of an event to progress the narrative hence most of the players don't complain about it.

[@seangoodwin3257]

What an awful list for an amazing series of games. The only one I would agree with is the Persian king. Bosses such as Hermes Helios and Icarus I wouldn’t even consider as bosses just gods standing in Kratos’ way. Yes they are gods yes they should of put up more of a fight but I like the idea that Kratos can overpower some of the “weaker” gods quite easily.

Theseus is super hard in Titan mode. It took me forever to kill him. Those ice attack man. Wht make it super difficult is when u busy enough to dodge 2 bulls attack, suddenly those ice attack came on our foot. this move guarantee 1HKO. Ouch

[@MegaCartmanX]

God, I was looking for this inevitable comment. I full heartedly agree. It's personally the fact that Theseus comes in as early as he does, which entails your magic meter being so damn tiny during the fight, thus leaving you to farm blue orbs from the minotaurs just to get like 5 shots with each volley. What a dragged out fight. :/

[@Rory626]

Totally agree. Theseus is one of the hardest parts of Titan mode by far

[@512Nikc]

10:31 When I first played the game, I actually thought that was Daedalus. It made more sense in my head. The inventor lost it after Icarus' death and tried to get an audience with the Sisters of Fate to bring the kid back, also it explained his decrepit state and old appearance.

[@slemangerdy8407]

Compared to the other final bosses, i'd agree, but it was still good not really bad.

[@tvanza7791]

Yea I think ascension catches a lot of shit but overall it was a pretty fun game.

[@charlyrob7334]

The problem with Ascension was that it was the third prequel of the series which made the story irrelevant, and also how they marketed the multiplayer part that nobody asked for. But gameplay was super fun and I believe combat was the most polished out of the first 6 games. THe giant mechanical serpent was a very clever stage and looked amazing.

[@nolanc9432]

I mean I quite enjoyed the final boss of it tbh. It may be just me but it was a cool spectacle as well as kind of a fun fight

[@512Nikc]

10:31 When I first played GOW 2 I thought that was Daedalus. It made more sense in my head. Think about it, he lost his head after seeing Icarus die, blamed himself for it, and tried to get an audience with the Sisters of Fate to get him back. It would explain why he looked so decrepit and old. Maybe that was the original plan and then the developers backed down because Icarus is the most popular of the two.

[@franciscofernandezmedrano9613]

welp, they had their own plans for Daedalus in gow 3

[@Iceman5506]

The bridge keeper in GoW 2018 was actually good cause after fighting multiple trolls that were the same exact boss fight, fighting another with a unique ability felt good and every troll should have something that made it more unique like the valkyries did

[@moontruther7519]

Right, that mountain one was the worst troll because it was so damn easy

[@TheRealGodButcher]

The elf King was a tough one if you played it on the "give me a challenge" (hard) mode. And most of these bosses you complained about weren't bad, maybe you just expected too much. Maybe try playing every game on hard difficulty level, I think that would make it more challenging for you.

[@milesparalysis9341]

I actually liked most of these, also the Hermes incident was not a fight it was a slaughter. How does any of that make you think it’s a fight? Kratos just chases the lazy coward until he gets injured and finishes him off. And Helios? Kratos literally shoots his horses, get gets squished by a titan, and then kratos rips his head off. Not even a boss fight lol.

Did Icarus really count as a boss battle

[@biology9810]

Or Hermes

[@Megamanthemachine]

I feel the dark elf king deserves respect he was hard as in some cases you need to properly time your attacks and not button mash as that simply lets him use his parry moves if you go in gun s blazing and mindlessly attack him but overall he wasn’t as good as it’s a similar logic that applies to the dark elf king.

[@flashdalsu9792]

Dark elf king was probably the most annoying boss fight. That being said, he was a good fight too, because he was hard and challenging. I say annoying because lets be honest, elves in GoW suck

[@sibusisovilakazi2825]

For me the lack of variable bosses in the 2018 God of War is the worst boss in God of War

[@JanusHoW]

There is one moment of the Hermes fight that gives me a chuckle - when Hermes says "Today, you may defeat me", Kratos' gaze (and the camera) focus on the god's nice-looking footwear...at which point he "de-feets" the snarky SOB.

[@seanhearn9616]

The whole point of the hermes fight is that its supposed to be easy

[@ΣΤΑΘΗΣΙΝΤΖΙΡΤΖΙΡΤΖΟΓΛΟΥ]

I woudnt nessessarily call all of them Bosses. Some are just characters that we strip them of their power/weapons. Its also nice that not all powers we obtain come from long boss fights. Why should Ikaros be a boss fight. He was just a dude who had waxed wings. Or Helios, we get his head and the info that theres a type of shield we cant destroy at will at the time, that was the point of the encounter. Not everyone should be a powerful boss fight. Foe example, in God of War 2, theres a fight between Kratos and a dark figure that lasts longer than Ikaros's fight and later we learn its our soldier we sent back to warn Sparta for Zeus's attack. Its a masterful reveal and a schock to the player that gives us exposition. But its not a Boss fight, yet the encounter is unique and we get to fight the dude.

I don't think you know the difference between a "boss" and just a sequence of events. Hermes and Helios weren't bosses. A boss battle usually has a health bar, or at least you actually fight them. You were chasing hermes and then had to put him down like a rabid dog. And you had to Kill Helios by just approaching him after he already got wounded by a single ballista fired at his chariot. How are those "bosses"? It would have been interesting if they actually were.
