Top 10 HARDEST Bosses in The Metal Slug Series

I think one of my favorite lore tidbits is that apparently the reason why Allen never dies is His love for his wife and child and his absolute refusal to fail to return to them. Also I'd have to say the Monoeyes tend to be my nemesis. I can either do really well against them. Or I struggle against them. There doesn't tend to be a lot of in between for me.

16:49 This one! The Union 3-in-1 war vehicle The 5th level of XX was a festival or swarming you with enemies from all directions every few steps, including packs of mini UFOs that laser straight down through your head, all while player is set to glide down cliffs and crevices on a parachute which doesn't let you jump and shuffle around like usual. And this fat kitchen sink is just a salt in the wounds. You just have to find crawlspaces through all the enemy attacks, while crushing the primary fire key hoping to kill one of the 3 units and get some fresh air. And even then destroyed units are still able to shoot and dock together crushing you if you try to put a few more bullets into it during a time window. An utter chaos. Sad part: the concept is amazing. A tank, a jet and an armed platform thingy megazorded into one machine is something we didnt see much in MS series. Really wish this boss would be an obtainable unit in MS Defense

For me based on Lv.8 Difficulty (hardest difficulty) playthrough experience Hardest No.1 Amadeus last phase No.2 Sandmarine No.3 Sal Dae Rokker No.4 Rugname No.5 Kraken No.6 Rootmars Also MS7/XX Mission 4 , 5 boss Jupiter King if fight without Rebel's LV Armor When you come from Ostrich route you don't have vehicle to fight this boss if come from secret base route you'll have LV Armor at least you can use eject trick to avoid dmg Invader King if fight without Slug (fight is easy with Slug + Tarma because when Tarma ride a Slug Vulcan dmg is x1.5 and can take 6 hits while other chars when ride a Slug can take only 3 hits) Elder Centipede (MS6 mission 4) fight is harder without Slug Flyer (Slug Flyer destroyed during Slug flyer route or during boss fight or come from Rootmars route) All MS1 bosses are easiest bosses even Lv.8 difficulty especially when fight with Slug + spare alot of Grenades (40-50 if possible) before fight you can spam it and kill the boss quickly

1. Sol De Rokkie is my Nemesis, even he has a "trick" is not easy to pull off, also i fought him since 2000 when MS3 came out in arcades and let me tell you: try to fight that bastard in lvl 8 difficulty (which is ever put in that number in the arcades for you to lose your money) is a nightmare, i even learn to pass all the game without problems and no deaths before and after him in lvl 8. but that boss...ArgH!! it die with 27-30 shotgun shells or if you for the upper path, then fire is very useful against him. 2.After that the Sandmarine (MS5), i remember come to him with 40 bombs and still that bastard don't die (lvl 8 of course), 3.Final boss MSX Rugname. 4. MS2 Robot-Morden mission 3 WITHOUT the fire weapon, it just have sooo much defense and hitpoints and also survive the 2 helicopters above you meanwhile you are cornered, with the fire weapon is all opposite: too easy and die in few shots. 5.Kraken MS7, even he has many attack, you still can "learn it" 6.Invader King, still don't get the right pattern 7.Brain Robot, yeah he is an asshole 8.The Union MS7 XX 9.Amadeus and 10.Sea Satan from MS4: both have the same thing: Is just know where positioning to avoid bullets... the problem is remember where is and they change that position every time Some Mentions: -Is not a boss but try to pass the last 3 trains mission 5 in MS2 is hard, because there is not weapons for you when you get there or bombs (you have to save bombs until get there) -The submarine of 5th mission MSX WITHOUT any vehicle in lvl 8, i learn this trying survive mode in playstation 1 I find the O´Neil from MS4 actually easy (even in lvl 8): just let yourself shoot with the tank meanwhile you are jumping to go up the platform, from there no bullet can reach you, and you just shoot the upper section (the one barely you see in the top) when explodes (looks damaged but still is there) then just shot in the front of you trying to shoot the two low sections at the same time, when one of the sections is destroyed quickly try to destroy the other, and since the top part is already destroyed, you get to the last part with the cannon grounded in the floor, and since you are in the platform, just shoot all the incomings flying bombs with the tank and shoot the last part with no problem at all

[@Only1Noodle]

Another infuriating thing about the Kraken is the time limit, which kills you when you reach 0. For me, the hardest boss is the Monoeye aliens from MS3, as a Zombie, you have to time it right with the blood vomit while dodging the beams.

14:14 The only possible, legal way to cheese the Monoeyes boss fight was having your character turned into their Zombie form and spams the grenades that you saved from earlier.

I remember getting super bummed out when I nearly beaten Metal Slug 3 in 1 life then started losing a continue at the final boss on hard mode. So I kissed those achievements for no death on Mission 5 and no continue run on xbox live. The final mission is about as long as doing mission 1 to 4 in MS3. I wouldn't say this series is bat shit hard compared to contra where even touching an enemy in those games kills you. In metal slug the attacks are heavily telegraphed, each enemy action needs purpose for why your protagonist is getting harmed.

[@GerMorden]

I would disagree on Brain Robot being that high due to a single thing that flips the entire fight - MS6 new mechanic, Vulcan Fix. While every other slug's Vulcan can be locked into current direction only by Tarma, Protogunner's Vulcan can be fixed by ANYONE - even Ralf. And with that change, you can focus on dodging, as Brain Robot is so stupidly tall that you can't really miss him if you fixed your vulcan around the middle of screen.

[@yacinemessouly6938]

I love your videos ❤️ man you accent looks so Moroccan 🙂🙂🙂

[@snufflepuspenguins1234]

If there's one thing that Metal Slug 4 did well, I think it's the final boss fight. For many reasons, I feel that Amadeus's fight is the best boss in the entire series, and certainly outpaces many of the other final bosses. For example, Rootmars simply involves jumping in and out of the Metal Slug while he repeats the same two attacks over and over again, while Dark Spirit Incarnate is literally just sliding left and right and waiting for his scythe to fall down. The Rugname final boss from MS2 literally just fires blindly in the middle and spams annoying over-buffed U.F.O.'s for the whole fight. Compare this to a climatic three-phased boss fight full of fun and dodge-able patterns against missiles, laser rings, energy balls, mobile satellites, a giant buzzsaw, a machine-gun, central cockpit heat lasers, vertical & horizontal beams, mini-robots and bouncing shots. The atmosphere is intense, it always keeps you on your toes and has high replay-ability because of the sheer diversity of attacks it has. Now only if Metal Slug 4 had this much ambition in the entire game, and it could have been one of the best entries in the series.

[@ShoryuGame]

Fair point!

[@LoliPeeSlurper]

Kraken (MS7) also has a lot of move variety and it's much harder to beat

[@Chazz0010]

Definely! Other bosses are easy once you are familiarize their attack patterns but when it comes to dr.amadues i was like “ holy sht”with these attack projectiles.

[@The_D_ray]

I can honestly say that the Rugname and Sol Dae Rokker are not hard, they are just unfair because: ...Sol Dae Rokker yellow beams are truly impossible to avoid only when the boss is enraged, so if the boss doesn't do that attack (RNG involved basically) you can easily win; ...and the Rugname is hard because of how unpredictable and sturdy the Elite Ufos are. If the Dai Manji (previous phase) drops a super weapon, the final battle will be 300 times easier. Rather than skill, those two bosses need luck.
