Something you missed about the Boost Guardian from Prime 2: Not only do you go into the fight with only a few energy tanks, but your health is unavoidably ticking down the entire fight due to dark Aether’s atmosphere. As if this fight needed an additional aspect of difficulty 😖

[@AzureMoebius22]

Also the boost attack hits like a fucking truck

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

The dark aether atmo makes practically no difference as soon as you get the dark suit. The problem is that the boss itself does a ton of damage when it hits you and that there is a lot of RNG for many things in the fight.. Althought I believe it's difficulty is very overrated. Alpha blogg is so much worse.

For Samus Returns, I think the final boss is actually a bit harder than Diggernaut. But Diggernaut is a more technical boss fight. You need to figure out each phase. The final boss is more obvious without any confusion, but he hits like a truck and you have to start from phase 1 if you lose on phase 3.

[@Seiyol]

yeah I agree. diggernaut is technical like you said in that much of the difficulty comes from working through his behaviors as if they are puzzles you need too find solutions to, while the fight against Proteus Ridley is a proper slugfest against an especially aggressive foe that is fast and does crazy damage.

[@pmpmpika]

I think both are difficult for me

[@l.n.3372]

@@Seiyol Yep, I agree. Also, most people don't even figure out how to beat Diggernaut until their 5th try or more. Ridley isn't a confusing battle, just an insanely rough match against an enemy that refuses to die.

[@l.n.3372]

@Boss Hoss I think the Metroid Queen is the 3rd hardest boss, behind Ridley and Diggernaut. But sometimes the Omega Metroid feel more difficult than the Queen as well. It just depends on the player.

[@l.n.3372]

@Boss Hoss If you want a tip for the Metroid Queen, use the spider ball to cling onto the wall and use power bomb to shoot yourself at her whenever she uses the green plasma ball attack. If you hit her during this attack, it will clear the plasma away and she'll start a different attack. Also for Diggernaut if you didn't know, use spider ball to cling to the floor. That way, it cannot suck you up during those phases.

[@Shikatsuyatsuke]

Raven Beak is probably one of the highest quality boss fights Nintendo has ever produced in one of their video games. Nice and challenging, and really rewards the players who have mastered the controls and abilities of the game. It felt so good getting creative with how to fight him and deal with all the different attacks he throws at the player. It's not very common when a game that revolves around acquiring tons of different skills and abilities actually allows the player to use the majority of them all in a single fight, and for their usage to be advantageous. I'm the kind of player who usually manages to beat bosses, even on higher difficulties, within the first 1-2 tries (except in Elden Ring/Souls games). So when it took me 4 tries to beat Raven Beak, I was very satisfied with the overall experience. I wish more game had boss fights as intricate and engaging as Raven Beaks. He's easily the highest quality boss fight in the entire series in my opinion and likely up there as one of my all time favorite boss fights from any video game I've ever played. Superb game design right there.

[@akiranara6404]

Honestly, I think Yakuza's harder than Nightmare. Yes, Nightmare is more *difficult,* but there's a save room right near the boss fight. With Yakuza, since the power's out, there's no nearby save point: every single time you lose, you will have to run all the way back from your ship to the boss to challenge it again, and that gets old very, *very* quickly. Especially when you're playing it on 3DS via Ambassador Program, and therefore don't have save states to circumvent that.

[@jjmuti3979]

Yakuza's third phase is also really random. Nightmare you can loop into a pattern with space jump.

[@leonpaelinck]

Yakuza is easier, the slow crawl towards the boss makes it harder to memorise its patterns.

[@heyblasty8614]

Hitless wise Yakuza is definitely harder, that boss is unpredictable

[@danger2980]

​@chrispork1443 it's the second phase where it is a bouncing head that makes it very difficult because of the random seeming patterns and when it drops its projectiles shooting either missiles or charge plasma beam can make them disappear

[@the1stMoyatia]

Metroid as a series was challenging, but a certain Spanish Game Developer known as MurcurySteam pushed the limits of it's difficulty to new heights. They're known for making games that demand the player to counterattack.

[@guyudontno7689]

Yeah, there's definitely a bigger emphasis on challenge in MercurySteam's Metroid games, which I'm totally fine with. I think Samus Returns and Dread both benefit from being more difficult games, and I wouldn't mind if future 2D games maintain a similar level of challenge as those games, regardless of whether or not MercurySteam is still developing them.

[@Blitz1Blacktail1]

Actually accurate to what I'd consider the hardest from each game. Literally the only one I'd swap out myself is Mogenar and have the final boss be the hardest, but thats only purely on Hypermode difficulty. The thing with that game is that the mechanic literally makes everything a cakewalk except that last fight, so...yeah.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Someone else mentions it, finally. Hypermode makes most bosses a cakewalk even on, well, hypermode, but the final boss suddendly works like any other metroid games and it's fucking hard for some reason.

[@Zerethos]

While I’ve yet to do hyper mode on Corruption, none of the fights have ever been difficult for me except the Defence drone, beating Gandrayda by a bit of a wide margin.

Mercury Steam really needs to be commissioned to remake metroid fusion. After Dread I would trust them with it!

[@kirkwright8954]

Fusion doesn’t really need a remake. But a remastered re-release would be nice

[@markrobertson1116]

No more remakes, please. Let's just continue the series as a whole. New games, new entries. Metroid I and II were outdated so the remakes made sense, added lore and gameplay fixes. Fusion needs no such thing, nor does Super, nor does Prime. At most Nintendo just needs to add all those games to the store on Switch so new fans can play them.

10 years from now we will be waiting for metroid prime 4.

[@Blixthand]

Raven Beak was really hard for sure, especially for me who isn't a veteran Metroid Player (I finished Zero Mission and got to the last boss of Prime 1, otherwise I've only played a little bit of each game), but still I found his movement pretty easy to predict and avoid. By my 3rd or 4th go I could get to stage 2 no problem, and I only needed two goes in stage 2 to get the hang of how to progress to stage 3. Add another 4-5 times in stage 3 and that was it. I spent at least twice that time on Kraid, and even the Chozo Elite Warroir took me more tries to get past due to the smaller arena, harder to avoid attacks and more damaging blows. Also I'd have to say Metroid Prime is the hardest boss of Metroid Prime, as I never could beat that. I tried for several hours a day for like a week, with 100% items collected, so MAX Energy, and by the end I just gave up and left the game unfinished.

[@shadowedge1]

Prime is a pain especially if it summons fission metroid's. Power bombs are your friend at that point and the hyper beam can wipe them out so if your in that mode and have the time use that on the buggers

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

...Ok. That's weird. Kraid in Dread is really damn easy because you can farm infinite health drops. I suppose he's difficult if you don't know that. But Metroid Prime in Prime 1, really??? The first phase is kind of difficult(still not nearly as much as Meta Ridley or Omega Pirate, if you ask me), but the second phase is a joke, it's basically impossible to die.

[@Blixthand]

@@legrandliseurtri7495 Wow, thanks for that confident boost. I didn't look up any strategy guides for Dread until very late in the game when I struggled real hard with a couple fo bosses, so at first I didn't know about health farming for Kraid, but I found that out as I was trying. My biggest problem was the aiming, and that is true for the entire game. I could never get used to the free aiming, and while I got slightly better at it towards the end, by the time I got to Kraid I was lucky if one in 4 "free aimed" shots hit and I found that I was often to slow to react to all his attacs, so I would take more damage than I could easily farm back. Maybe it's just because I suck at first person games (Prime is the only one I've actually stuck with for more than 30 min), but I remember being all over the internet looking at youtube videos, reading GameFAQs, looking for tricks and strategies, but I could never beat it. I could get to the last phase, often at the cost of 1 or 2 energy tanks, but rarely more then so, and still could not defeat the last stage. Now, that was 7 or 8 years ago and if I were to try again today I would have to re-learn all the controls and all the visors and beams and whatnots and I just can't be arsed. I bough the Wii Trilogy a couple of years ago and thought I'd try a full new playthrough, but I found the motion controls impossible for me, I couldn't even get passed the Hive Mecha. As for Ridley I remember him being hard, but very doable and I don't even remember the Omega Pirate, but I guess I must have beaten him since I got all the way to Prime.

I never had much trouble with the Boost Guardian, even on hard mode in the GameCube version. Not to be rude or anything but just unload the Light beam on the f*cker and be good with dodging its attacks and you’ll be fine. Granted I have played the game many times so I’m adept at fighting it. The Alpha Blogg is hard but not overly so, again same strategy but substitute Light with Dark and try to hit the Dark burst combo if you can. Again just unload everything you got onto the bitch and get good at dodging and you’ll come out on top (unless you intentionally handicap yourself for more challenge then I can’t help you).

@@WolfHack Metroid Prime P1 or Meta Ridley if you dont use the boost ball exploit

[@venomasmark14]

Honestly, while Boost Guardian is a pain in the ass and probably one of my least favorite fights, I'd genuinely argue Emperor Ing (the entire fight, not just one phase) is more difficult, You don't get any health replenishment during the entire battle, the second phase is a waiting game and if you get to the final phase with minimal Energy Tanks, you're starting over for sure. Boost Guardian has some of those problems, but at least it can hit into pillars spawning 100 energy orbs, giving you the chance to continue (plus if you use like two or three Super Missiles on it and launch fully charged Light beam at it for the last bit, you can melt him. the only problem is having to get him out of puddle form (reminder that you don't have to be in morphball during that, and honestly it can make the entire fight a whole lot easier than being IN morphball as you can double jump, and if you are in morphball, [Trilogy only] you have spring ball to possibly jump out of the way of the dash it does) but that's my take, probably because for the longest time i've had trouble with Emperor Ing and I've also learned to surpass Boost Guardian on all difficulties after enough trial and error

[@ExtremeAce]

You do get health replenishment in the first two phases. The first one you get health and ammo drops from the tentacles, in the Spider Ball phase the Inglets and the destroyed Tentacles give you drops. In the final phase the little groups of Light and Dark energy "bugs" as I like to call them give you drops for ammo but the second phase gives you crap ton of blue and yellow energy drops. Although Emperor Ing on Hard Mode is still arguably one of if not the toughest boss in the franchise, I've played through the game like 10 times but on Hard Mode the last phase kicks my ass a lot even when I'm at almost full tanks.

Omega Pirate definitely represented a difficulty spike in the bosses, but I'd say Meta Ridley and Metroid Prime were slightly harder. As for Raven Beak, I actually enjoyed his fight a lot. Challenging, but nowhere near as hellacious as Escue or the Twin Chozo Robots.

[@Quackra]

The Twin Chozo Robots is not as hard as you think, Storm Missiles make it too easy imo.

[@MoonfallMidnight]

@@Quackra you have to keep a bead on them with the storm missiles, which is difficult since you have to be constantly dodging their shots or it de-locks. And in hard mode, they only need two hits to kill you.

[@DarkPhazonElite]

@@Quackra Yep I agree on the storm missiles!

[@DarkPhazonElite]

I agree on Escue, and I found Experiment Z-57 harder than Raven Beak. Fun fight though. I think Raven Beak is also a hard but fun fight.

[@gamestrument]

They all had awesome themes especially Omega Pirate. Need to cover it some time!

[@GrandmasterDevo]

I'm still fighting Raven Beak, I haven't been able to get past the second phase!

[@cantdestroyher7245]

I couldn’t beat him in my first play through so I started again. 2nd time around I absolutely destroyed him. And I’m pretty terrible at these games

[@akiranara6404]

If you're talking about the one where he's got golden armor, here's a tip: as long as the golden armor's up, he's invincible. There *is* a means to make him drop it temporarily, though...

[@TheSpaceboy33]

I died about 50+ times to him, now he's not so hard. Just really focus on staying airborne to avoid the Gatling gun thing, shoot during the big pink beam, slide under the flying attacks, and make sure you've got at least like 150 missiles for that phase and using storm missle

[@TheSpaceboy33]

Oh yeah and don't waste your time in phase 1 trying to hurt him outside of shooting after a parry. That's when the shield is down, otherwise it's a waste of missles

[@cantdestroyher7245]

Mobility is your friend

[@gamestrument]

Brilliant video dude. Subbed!

[@doowtnehpets]

It's been so long since I played Prime 2. I remember the difficulty spike with boost guardian, but don't remember it being too bad. The final bosses of the game are what I struggled with, Emperor Ing followed by Dark Samus right after. I remember playing that like a good 15 or 20 times before finally beating it.

[@jstraessle1]

Omega pirate ain't shit. Meta Ridley was harder

[@unlimited971]

Omega pirate was fun and easy tho. Diggerbot was such a pain

[@WolfHack]

The only one I disagree with is other M. The hardest boss is figuring out the pixel you need to look at in those stupid first person segments.

[@EpicLebaneseNerd]

DREAD and PRIME had really hard and almost unfair last bosses, espeically DREAD where i had to backtrack for more missles and health, and Prime it was just almost broken.

[@jellyacc]

i was sitting here wondering what the hardest boss in mp2 was, thinking all of them were pretty easy but then realizing it wasnt a boss, it was a mini boss that was the hardest thing in that game. i never finished mp2 on hard mode because of the boost guardian. it was INSANELY difficult because even if you do beat it, if u dont have enough energy, you die. fun game nonetheless

[@gamestrument]

Boost Guardian was an absolute nightmare!

[@melaniedochez1462]

Totally agree with the last one !! The wait is too hard !!

[@rayhopkins9420]

Mecha Ridley is definitely harder than MB because he killed me several times the first time I played Zero Mission. It doesn’t help that I like to 100% Metroid games, and Mecha Ridley is harder the more power-ups you have.

[@stanman168]

The wait's weakness is being in 2024

[@BatPotatoes]

For metroid zero mission, if you count optional 15% runs of the game you need for unlocking all endings, I'd say Ridley. He's a real ass when you only have 5 missiles & a couple energy tanks

[@Quackra]

Ridley in Zero Mission is easier than Mecha, but all bosses in ZM are easy even on Hard Mode. Ridley you need only like 8 Supers to kill on Hard and that is kinda sad.

[@gokublack8342]

Hes the hardest boss in Fusion Rando too if you dont have charge and plasma and you need something off him like say....gravity good luck

[@Faceless_time_traveler]

The wait ... A boss that appears in many games , and is the bane of every gamer in the world

[@linkboy]

Diggernaut was such a bitch to fight, that fight constantly destroys me whenever I replay samus returns

[@cashlesshuman4022]

The reason Metroid prime four hasn’t come out yet is because four isn’t a prime number. The devs have been trying to find a loophole around this for months

[@gamestrument]

They could be referring to the fourth prime number and not the number 4 😂

[@genobreaker1054]

I considered the Ridley fight in Samus Returns to be infinitely harder than Diggernaut. Diggernaut was fun, Ridley was just a pain in the ass.

[@JRiley187]

I died so much in Metroid Dread. More than any other Metroid game lol. Me screaming at the tv at Raven Beaks death, like he really did some thing to me lol

[@Myfriend1216]

I think the SA-X is WAY harder then nightmare

[@joelb1299]

Wouldn't say RB is the hardest in Dread. It just takes longer to kill him than the other bosses. He's also only a threat in phase 2 since you can continually recover your health and ammo in phase 1 and 3. I thought Experience Z-57 was more annoying until I got the timing down.

[@groudonor12]

I think for experiment Z-57 it comes down to using Flash Shift. RB imo is the HARDEST, his counters are ridiculously small and none of your attacks works until the last phase.

[@TheNathanStars]

quadraxis and omega pirate are the hardest in prime series

[@tommybohannon1989]

Omega Pirate is pretty easy if you just shoot super missiles at him while he’s invisible

[@WolfHack]

The adds are what make it difficult. Beam pirates do so much damage

[@chrisward7064]

@@WolfHack if your know what your doing they are more of a nuisance than threat in the battle. If anything Ridley can be more of a threat in the game.

[@5h0ckblock]

The wait is so hard even the devs needed to restart the game to beat it.

[@OniruPA]

the only two bosses hardest, that i had very problem to defeat in metroid, they were mother brain from nes, and ridley from other m in hard mode.

[@wills-way7664]

How do people think Nightmare is hard? I beat him second try why that stupid spider boss took me forever!

[@gustavocantu1794]

"Metroid prime 4 the wait" absolutely killed me

[@newageBoundhippie]

Super Metroid- personally I find Phantoon hardest....and that's acid in Ridley's lair not lava. The Gravity Suit negates damage in lava in addition to making it easy to move underwater. Metroid Prime 2- it's always a toss up for me between the Boost and Spider Guardians....they're both just frustratingly obnoxious

[@MajorTeag]

Yeah, I agree with you on Prime 2. I always hate going into those 2 fights. Boost is annoying as you have no safe zones, so you have to rely on the fodder to get health. Spider is annoying too because of the fact you are in the Morph Ball the whole time and one mistimed bomb jump can ruin the entire battle for you, especially in that fourth area.

[@newageBoundhippie]

@@MajorTeag Spider is hugely improved in the Wii version but it's still irritating to deal with....at least the Wii versions of Prime 1 & 2 added the Spring Ball ability ( just flick the Wiimote in Morph Ball form like you can in Prime 3 and voila, Spring Ball jumping )

[@MajorTeag]

@@newageBoundhippie Ah, yeah that does help a bunch. I still have the Gamecube version, so don't have that ability heh.

[@speedude0164]

On trilogy I found Boost and Spider more annoying than hard, although Boost was the only thing that managed to kill me. Emperor Ing felt the hardest to me.

[@legrandliseurtri7495]

Unpopular opinion, but Boost Ball and Spider Ball guardians are probably my favorite mini-bosses in the game.

[@PatrickGandolff]

9:19 Diggernaut the most fun to me! I loved to die countles times until I figure out all their attacks and finally kiill It. 😅

It's funny, I'm fighting the Omega Pirate right now in the Remaster, and I can confirm: he IS annoyingly tough. The funny thing is, I don't remember him being that tough from back when I played the original. I remember Meta Ridley being much harder. I guess I'll see for myself after I beat this overgrown lizard.

Im perfectly ok with waiting. Better than a rushed product. Reminds me of One Punch Season 2 terrible art and animation. I would have gladly waited 10 more years for Mad House to do the job and continue from Season 1.

Oh yeah, the original Mother Brain boss battle was hard as Hell. The Zero Mission version is manageable, but still pretty challenging.

[@Antythese]

The Wait is so OP, man...

[@andrewcosmicanimations8709]

I am not arguing that Raven Beak isn't the hardest boss in Dread, but... 5 phases? He only has 3. Sure, there's that bit near the end that could count as a 4th phase, but that is more or less a short cutscene that if you die, brings you right back to the beginning of said cutscene. Not sure where the 5th one comes from though.

[@TheTriforceDragon]

Some consider his invulnerability part in phase 1 its own phase.

[@andrewcosmicanimations8709]
