7 Transforming Bosses Who Made Us Regret Our Cockiness: Commenter Edition

[@lucasm.3864]

Here are some rules for Soulsborne bosses: - If you think you are done, you aren't. - The more human-sized the enemy, the more scared you should be. - The real fight doesn't begin until the music has at least three choirs and two orchestras blasting at max volume.

As someone who lives in Colorado and knows the governor's kids, I think replacing a senator who turned out to be an evil, semi-invincible cyborg and was defeated by a super-powered cyborg ninja and his dog would be the sort of thing Governor Polis would love to take on. I can confirm that his kids (once told a more rated-G version of the story) would think it was the most epic thing EVER.

[@mmppjgm]

@@jennifervalentine8955 that's not the worst you do, you actually cause the fall of Ashina: You kill big horse boi and stupid bull, so you leave the castle without their stronger defense. Then you kill all those soldiers and generals, creating an open path for the ministery guys to walk through. Finally you kill Geni and Isshin, their best fighters (Isshin dies anyway if u don't, so same). You also kill canned head who was protecting the temple in order to help his son Robertooooooooooooooooooo and a monk who is guarding some sacredish place, as well as an actual dragon god. You stress the f out of the sculptor until he turns to a Dark Souls style demon and also kill him. And more. You actually fk everything up to save that little guy of yours hahahaha

Another good example is Yunalesca from Final Fantasy 10. She was a real monster, and her instant death attack part way through the fight was a guaranteed game-over first time around.

14:38 I remember that boss fight. I was pretty cocky since I hardly struggle due to grinding so much. When I fought Flemeth, Alistair was the only one left and I was struggling really hard that I was afraid, oh so afraid. I won in the end though.

[@Commanderd2007]

I thought it was impossible to grind levels in DA:O? Teach me your ways!

[@jaxusr235]

Nancy Lo Eh. It was tough before I realized I had multiple ranged allies and a wizard who could make me immortal for a short time and heal me, as well as a stockpile of healing potions due to basically making either Leliana or myself a potion brewery with the levels. At that point, two bows, a spell caster, and one girl with two pointy sticks it was easier than fighting dark spawn horde.

What about the final boss of Sekiro (spoilers) It’s a guy you’ve beaten twice and this time he’s even easier, but once you beat him he gives up and kills himself to summon his recently dead grandfather to fight you, a grandfather who happens to be the strongest boss in the game. Also Sekiro is kind of weird

Another boss for this list could be Avalon from Legaia 2: Duel Saga, a criminally underrated PS2 game with some of the hardest minigames of all time. He goes from your standard RPG human to well... winged and gargantuan over the course of the fight~

[@zoeibbotson4064]

The fight with senator Armstrong is one sided just with him being the one to lay down the epic one sided beat down.

[@Nofsleft]

My pick from Sekiro's most terrifying transforming, or in this case surprising, bosses isn't so much a transforming boss, but rather one boss sacrificing himself to summon another guy back from death. "Sword Saint Isshin," or "Isshin: Sword Saint". You think this is a final one on one with Genichiro for the fate of Kuro, until he decides he can't win and decides to forfeit his life to call on his now resurrected grandfather for help...and oh boy does his grandpa deliver. I am of the firm opinion that the 'Interior Ministry' didn't send it's army to deal with the battered and bruised Ashinan's, but rather to make sure that one of the soldiers they sent managed to kill the old,sick, and frail Isshin (Spoilers for the Shura route: He ain't so frail), out of fear of just what he could do if he had been made immortal by the rejuvenating sediment...a wise move on their part. I don;t think he counts a transforming boss, but he is still my pick for a surprise boss that utterly thrashed me for several days before I finally beat him. Here is hoping he doesn't come back again in any DLC they add.

[@skipperg4436]

Guardian Ape second phase was easier. Isshin Sword Saint on the other hand... Another boss that comes in mind is the second boss from Serious Sam: Second Encounter - biomech thingy

[@sharilshahed6106]

It was, relatively speaking, easy to figure out. But this probably comes off has shocking when the thing you killed comes back, headless, wielding a sword and moving creepily with an eerie music playing.

@@hansy8406 I took the idea from some stories I read and often applied it to plots I wrote. They seem normal until you swing at them, then they become super-fast cartoon-logic slashers, doing a high number of superficial wounds that each cluster pretty much is a significant wound. They would each sometimes just pause for a moment with a "look cute" effect which is actually attempts at mass charm or stun. When you wound each, they do turn into mythological beasts, good call. Then, after you "slay" all of them, they merge into an unGodly chimera as their final form after, great call on that. You must have either read/played the same things I did or gamed with me... or I am that predictable. ;) My players always sweat when their final boss is guarded by tiny guardians, especially cute ones. Well, my veteran players.

@@That80sGuy1972 That80sGuy1972 Well, considering that there are a ton of cute characters that hide some sort of malice, I wouldn't be surprised with much of that scenario. Perhaps the difficulty, but but the scenario. Also, what mythological beasts do they change into? And by the description you gave, it appears that they all have a high speed stat. And lastly, the scenario is less 'predictable' or 'probable', but more... An 'entertainable possibility' based on my observations of various other similar scenarios in media.

[@notalkmeimangyy]

The worst feeling is fighting one of these bosses, going on a hiatus from the game the boss is from, replaying it, fighting the boss again and, on the last sliver of health until it transforms, you remember that it can transform as a rush of horrific memories from past attempts blasts over you.
