Who is the BEST Boss in Metroid Dread?! [Top 18]

[@Arsio12]

They did explain how the 1st EMMI was so damaged. The first Chozo Memory show Raven Beak taking the EMMI apart. My assumption is that he attacked and destroyed that EMMI, reverse engineered it and discovered how to hack the remaining EMMIs without breaking them.

[@marshall3254]

[@theblob7470]

He didn’t take it apart, he just damaged it w/ his hyper beam.

[@turtleninja16tn66]

Also it’s more likely that he tore the faceplate off and cut the hand off at the wrist because those seem like the most vulnerable spots to do so. It was probably tough, but assuming this was the weakest emmi even before it was broken, I’d assume it wasn’t… that bad? Like his own boss encounter.

Dude the counter cinematic it's the Best cinematic in the game in my opinion

[@CursedRaichu]

You can also beat him sooner than regularly if you manage shinespark him. In the section where Z-57 takes inspiration from flappy bird to take Samus out, it’s possible to hold a shinespark. The only thing is being able to land the shinespark is kinda tricky. I haven’t been able to do it. But I’ve only tried like 4 times.

[@Ghostel3591]

You also can speed up the fight tremendously by activating and storing speed boost as it materialises, then jumping behind iy (Golgoza always reforms facing you) and Shinesparking into its weak point which will cause it to lose about 50-75% of its HP. Heck, speedrunners even manage to shinespark twice in a row to kill it instantly but obviously it is way harder to pull off... And can cause game to softlock - so not advised for regular player. But 1 Shinespark fight initiation is a good strategy - really helps, especially on Hard.

[@CrossVaniaGames]

Fun fact about the later Central Units, you can actually Shinespark to expose the Brain, and then if you have the Screw Attack, it one shots the brain

Unpopular opinion: I thought Raven Beak was too easy once you learn to counter his moves and blow up his orbs. Doing so drops a ton of ammo and health, to the point where you can afford to make mistakes infinitely if you've mastered it. Also, Z-57 was my favorite!

[@ddawgproductionsXXL]

For me Z-57 is ranked just below Raven Beak.

[@jakecastillo6731]

This is kinda true. Then again i died so many times trying to learn each phase, but once i did each phase was a breeze and if i messed up in the first phase and took a lot of dammage i would purposely prolong the fight just to heal up with his orb attack.

[@Riversky88]

Kraid was by far the most enjoyable boss fight experience. His return in this game was suspicious yet completely unexpected during my first play through. I could feel his rage, hatred and his thirst for revenge against Samus. That theme song had my heart pounding. Metroid Dread is the GOTY in my opinion.

[@harlannguyen4048]

2:08 You can totally break the red rings using missiles and charge shots during the Central Unit fight. Are you referring to the sentry guns instead? Later on, you can deal high damage to it using the Shinespark, then instant kill it using the Screw Attack. It just goes to show how powerful Samus becomes as the game progresses.

[@harlannguyen4048]

As my thoughts for the other bosses, you can Shinespark most bosses if you know where to look to build up Speedbooster. Escue can be defeated quicker if you sequence break and get Screw Attack early, as it can bypass the effects of its lightning barrier. The first Robo Chozo Soldier can be Shinesparked repeatedly since the lowest floor has just enough room to trigger Speedbooster. Golzuna's boss room is big enough to Shinespark each phase once. The X-Parasite core can be one-shotted using this method too. During Kraid's second phase, he may start shooting the spikes at you from bottom to top if you take too long to damage his belly button. By timing your jumps, you can scale up the wall to get to the magnetic lift earlier.

[@PikKraken8]

To be honest, even if Samus never misses an item (not using sequence breaking), it feels like she gets weaker compared to the bosses she faces (the bosses’s strength increases at a faster rate than Samus’s strength does).

You can destroy the rings in the brain fights, they're there to replenish your missiles if your aim sucks. They also do increase in difficulty with the last one you fight shooting 3 of each projectile at a faster rate and projectile speed. By that point you have the Gravity Suit and tons of energy so their hits don't feel so bad, but they do still hurt.

[@thesis-and-nieces6722]

I do love fighting robot chozos. The big thrill is doing a parry and making the chozo in a stunned state that you can then pummel it with missles. Very satisfying

[@giovannigonzalez3318]

I do agree that Escue needed more cinematics since it's the first big X we fight 🤔 But it was a nice enough fight and it did what X do. Absorb a host and corrupt it. None but one of its attacks are the ones the basic enemy uses.

[@Rodanguirus]

It does have its nifty little "preview" scene where you see it and some brethren swarming the Chozo statue a few rooms prior. It's not a proper cinematic, but I kind of enjoy the subtlety of the in-game, "background" scenes some of the bosses get.

I really wish they had done a bit more with the EMMIs in the late-game, the EMMI zones were legitimately nerve-wracking early on, but once you get all your movement abilities, they just kinda force you to rush through the areas until you defeat them. I only really felt scared by the first and second EMMIs, so actually 2 and 3, and that one EMMI that could hear you anywhere see you from a mile away. That one was legitimately terrifying, they were all dangerous, but that was the one I felt was most threatening. There's a big difference between a robot that can hear you within a certain range and kill you instantly, and a robot that can hear you literally ANYWHERE, chase you down endlessly, and kill you in an instant. If all the EMMI felt that threatening, this would be stupid close to a horror game.

I think my top 3 favorite bosses are Experiment No. 57, Raven beak, and then corpious, and here’s why. Experiment No. 57 is my favorite because I love how it’s kind of half monster and half of corpious. I also love the tactic of the laser and quickly avoiding it during the spots where he quickly stops shooting the laser. Raven beak is my second because I love the detail of the boss and the many phases. And it really ties up the story as well. And then my 3rd favorite is corpious because you’ve just started the game and it’s an amazing boss that is a little bit hard, but it really fun and do able. I also love the counter. The boss that took me the quickest was probably Drogyga, and the one that took me the longest was probably Escue not gonna lie. And Escue is also my least favorite boss in the game, not including EMMIs

[@riohudson9612]

The E.M.M.I are an absolute masterpiece of enemy design. Unstoppable machines that plow through everything, especially you. Every encounter with them feels like a dance with death itself. Even when Samus' cannon gets supercharged, it is never an easy fight. In fact, it's not a fight at all. It's all a game of whose faster than the other, and no matter how strong Samus is she will only win by the skin of her teeth every time. We need to see more of these guys in the future.

These were such a good set of bosses. I think I might’ve done some of the bosses in the wrong order 😅. I got the Spider Magnet before fighting Corpius, and fought Golzuna before Escue.

E.M.M.I. 1 (the Damaged one) in the Chozo archives is explained to be damaged due to raven beak encountering and fighting it. Also with the central units, you can break the rings, I believe with missiles. Twin robots, storm missile them with as many targets they can hold, one round for orange and it is dead, black needs two rounds of max targets. Again, chozo archives show Kraid being chained up by raven beak and his soldiers. Experiment, is shown in chozo archives, had, I believe his name was quite robe, the one that gotten shot by a robo chozo soldier, anyways experiment had gotten experimented on by that chozo.

I definitely agree with the top two placements here. Z-57 and Raven Beak were some of the better bosses I've played in a long time.

tbh I think at first raven beak wasn't entirely corrupted by the virus at first but after having his sheer, raw power, determination and willpower sucked from him he couldn't hold back any longer, the reason he wanted to fight samus and gave samus those abilities was so he could have them all ripe for the picking, so he could fight off the virus that plagues him and defeat it once and for all, ngl it would've been so cool if he could parry us too.

The damaged emmi is damaged because raven beak ripped it’s hand off It shows it in the end game art My favorite emmi is the red one because I love it’s power and I lie, the way it dies Legit it just gets it’s energy sucked out of it

[@thesnatcher3616]

I wish I actually got to fight it though. Instead of just, you know. Killing it by sucking it up. Great/exhilerating story beat, but disappointg when it comes to gameplay.

[@Vince692]

@@thesnatcher3616 yeah but if that happened I would not have beat the game And no one would Because the blue one was already hard cause when it sees you it freezes you Your only option is countering And that’s really hard The red one….. Bruh it has a nuke

[@thesnatcher3616]

@@Vince692 That's true. So I definitely understand WHY they didn't do it. It might have worked in a SINGULAR chase scene though.

[@Vince692]

@@thesnatcher3616 dang I’m thinking about the chase scene And man That would be sick, just giant explosions while you run away I would like that but when you run far enough it triggers a cutscene when you fall through the floor and it leads you to the central unit then you would kill the red emmi

[@cioplasmmajic8327]

This is a fun little list, I think I might leave a like. *Sees that he calls it super dash instead of Speed Booster* THIS IS HERESY! 0/10!

[@19_LuiSal_95]

My top 3 are 3- Drogyga: I love underwater creatures; sea animals in real life are so mysterious and the sea is filled with mysterious creatures. Fighting s really weird looking underwater boss was really hype for me. I really like the boss itself; how you supposed to destroy his tentacles and lower the water. 2- Experiment Z-57: You already explained everything and more. 1- Raven Beak: You already explained it in details.

[@titansmiler9466]

Corpius gained his powers of cloaking from the statue, we got some of our abilities from giant statues that look different from the ones with orbs. The statue looks like it would've held a cube that would have given samus the cloak and to back it up we get the cloak from a cube, same kind of cube we get from the statues.

[@mrsmithers69]

The central unit did increase difficulty,there were more lasers

[@AndroidHarris]

My favorite was the experiment in cataris. It reminded me of the diggernaut fight from samus returns another of my favorites.

[@shrektheoverlorde5455]

16:22 I love how Sam is, isn’t even phased with krade’s appearance

[@alfermon6243]

fun fact about raven beak he happens to use all three ether powers from Metroid 2 Samus returns phase phase he uses the lightning shield and the time slowing one (i can't remember its name) it explains how his able to move so fast or his using flash shift but he defiantly uses the lightning shield for first phase and in his wing phase those minigun shots happen to look very similar to the hyper cannon attack

[@aboveaveragecat44]

Oh my god raven beak was tough as nails but it was sooooo freaking fun

[@NahumRodr]

7:51 Robots Chozo. 19:20 Raven Beak and 8:39 E.M.M.I 5. The hardest bosses that I beat, More when I'm in Dread Mode, It was a Nightmare. Fortunately I can pass all the game in Dread Mode ;)

[@caiobispodossantossantana]

Oh... Is that how you fought gozuma? I just jumped + dash behind him and, when he sent those lasers, jump and dash in front of him

[@milchtute832]

1:45 well when you beat an area to 100% so all items etc. you get an artwork of that region and in of those regions there is a picture showing Raven Beak holding the missing arm of that Emmi standing over it

[@They_are_Arthur]

12:06 To avoid this attack, space jump over the boss, the spread of the explosions won't reach you.

[@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502]

Or double jump up and flash shift to get to the other side of him if you fight him before you get the space jump.

[@Fleshi_Guy615]

the Whole fight with the Experiment feels like he's trying to trick you. During the evil flappy bird sequence, he just stands there, but if you try to free aim, You might get hurt trying to do so. He forces you in one attack to get close to him, and snaps at you when he thinks your gaurd is down. His swiping attack gains an extra part later in the fight, etc. I don't know if they Nintended (*GET IT*???) this to happen, but it feels like the Experiment is trying to trick you during the fight; but every time he does, it's possible to make it backfire. You can insta-kill him in evil flappy bird, his snap attack can be parried, etc.

[@Jazzin96]

Even if Emmi number 4 isn’t the toughest, it is definitely the most terrifying. Being frozen as a beast slowly is approaches is not as terrifying as a blood thirsty robot speeds after you.

[@austinostergaard2187]

They never explained it but i assumed raven beak did that to emmi 1

[@backgroundnpc9631]

I mean... Golzuna was a piece of cake for me. When he throws out his blasts, space jump over him and they won't come close to hitting you. Just keep jumping over him and he doesn't really have an answer. Escue on the other hand, killed me an obnoxious number of times because even with space jump I couldn't evade his stupid homing shots reliably, and he was a speedy airborne enemy so he was hard to maneuver around by default, even without periodically turning himself invulnerable.

[@DJ4461]

It does explain how emmi 01P gets damaged like that. SPOILER: if you get 100% items for a certain zone, it is revealed that raven beak fought it, and even tore a leg off. Its scary how powerful he is.

[@starmars5]

"Like some kind of freaky Sepiroth guy" Dude, c'mon, he say that one wing and was just like...."I'm not about to be compared to Sepiroth" and didn't hesitate to tear his own dang wing off

[@DissedRedEngie]

I love how done samus is with kraid.

[@hi00118]

The golden Chozo Soldier right before the final area gave me the most trouble for whatever reason. I knew exactly what I needed to do but for some reason managing the 4-5 goo shots in a row in phase 2 was something I just could not do

[@triforceofcourage100]

Wait coorpius had a parry I never noticed that I always wondered why I got hurt when sliding under him. I hated z-57 I found a lot of his attacks to be kinda cheap mainly in the second round. That ball that just drains your health while you try to get storm missiles to cooperate (for some reason it doesn’t always work. I also wasn’t expecting to play flappy bird in metroid. I learned most of the pattern except the one where you had to jump over two never figured that one out. I also died a bunch of times to the round two claw swipes as well simply due to the fact that there are two hurt boxes one for the claws and the other on the head so it really limited how much tiny space I had to dodge so I always either got hit by the claws or hit by the head I only ever managed to dodge it properly a single time.

[@ohidurrahmanpratik7150]

About the central unit, you can actually break the rings and earn missile+health. You have to run and parry them to break

[@ShrekShampoo]

If you get the Screw Attack before Escue he is easily defeated that way due to his electric nature.
