[@FruitBasketYT]

Lots of people have been checking out this video lately! I don't really do stuff like this very much but I still encourage you to subscribe and check out some of my newer content! Good day to all of you o7

[@ivannatinkle8196]

Your the only ranking of the bosses I could find, granted I'd love it either way

[@jazzfan033]

"I stretch the truth from time to time, but I wasn't lying about being a mercenary. Miguel Twinspears has killed a hundred men if he's killed a dozen. Soldiers, mind you, not mollycoddles carrying a bag full o' weeds" Honestly, that pre-battle quote is just awesome.

[@acamera367]

He also wasn't lying. His fight was painful

[@MooglesAreCool]

​@@acamera367right I couldn't even beat him at level 50 I had to be level 60 😢

[@LuddyFish_]

Mattias is one of my favourite bosses. The dialogue building up to the battle is amazing and I love that tone from Mattias as he gives that mix of charisma and insanity. And the best part, he f*cking t-poses!

[@beastbwithin145]

He would be in my top 10 if he wasn’t such a bitch to fight🤣🤣

[@lewis9s]

The fact Simeon is silencing you because you’re in a theatre, and you get to see Primrose get her revenge makes him the best boss contextually without a doubt.

[@lewis9s]

Also Should mention Redeye is Kit’s father Graham (The one who wrote the diary in Tressa’s story & the one Alfyn looked up to) who was nearly sacrificed to awaken Galdera, but it failed and he became Redeye.

[@MooglesAreCool]

Simeon rlly do loves his silence attacks tho

[@nesoukkefka1741]

Simeon's fight is definitly the highlight for me, honnestly I didn't like Primrose's story, but Simeon was my favorite villain just because he is a bad guy and just enjoy to it's fullest, there's no other villains I wanted to kill as badly as this bastard and his fight was glorious. I think an honnorable mention can be give to the one on one fight between Olberic and Erhardt, technically not a boss, but for me this fight is true conclusion of Olberic's character, and I think it's nice for once to have a story that start as a revenge, but ultimately Erhardt realise what he has done was wrong, and Olberic through his journey understanding Erhardt and finding another purpose and having the strength to forgive him was a really touching moment.

[@mellontanamar7950]

Wasn't that surprised with most bosses on the list but I do miss Mathias on the top spot ^^ Sure he can be easy, but I adored the voiceacting in this battle

[@someguy9421]

Should’ve been at least an honorable mention

[@questrequested9171]

absolutely agree, if only by how much power he lays in his mid-battle quotes is a blast to watch every single time, and is the only battle i actually go look for on youtube from time to time, just because of how good it is

[@alejandragutierrez2780]

Yes, it's a good boss whit Emotion and epicness, but with tress i kill him so fast. He didn't even have time to breathe.

[@ChevaliersEmeraude]

Can I say, I love how you're like "well, the story is ok I guess", and then show 9 story-relevant boss battle and talk up those boss as being awesome and all! If you include Galderra, there are 33 story bosses in the game (4 for each character, so 33, plus the final boss) That's like over a quarter of bosses being, story-wise, memorable! And it's not like other bosses aren't also; that's just a top 10, but other bosses would have been strong contenders as well! I see a lot of mention of Mattias in the comment, but Eirhardt, Vanessa and Esmeralda also quickly comes to mind for me! Just saying; I don't know why people try to talk down the story of this game. It's certainly written differently, with 8 short stories that are ultimately linked instead of just one big story. But those 8 short stories, they are pretty good! :)

[@thenx3952]

One very important thing about the Darius fight that makes me love the fight and Therion's story is the fact that the previous bosses had others to help them in the fight, while Darius is alone throughout the fight which just emphasizes his distrusting nature. And to top it all of in the end he's left alone to die, surrounded by chests that like him are empty, with his final words, in an ironic twist, being a cry for help towards Therion which will never be heard. He isolated himself from others that cared about him, he tried to kill Therion and didn't care when Gareth, the last person who truly cared for Darius, died and although in the end he realizes it, it's too late, his greed and mistrust brought his down fall. Also the fact that Gareth represents what would become of Therion if he followed Darius without speaking up is wonderful. Killing Gareth represents him making the first step towards leaving behind his past self, leaving behind his past with Darius and moving forward with people whom he trusts.

[@flavafee]

totally agree that the music for simeon's fight was completely standout. thanks for mentioning the name of the song in this vid, i had been looking for it!!

[@it_smee]

"because then he grabs the strap-on" i lost it there

[@LrdVnm]

As soon as Determination started playing I broke. Goddamn what a brilliant segment.

[@questrequested9171]

i agree mostly, but i cant understand why Mattias isnt even on here, he's by far my personal favorite, just by how much power he has in his mid-battle quotes

[@iverss533]

Cant wait for your thoughts on the second game since that game improved a lot from the first.

[@whatis_goingon]

One boss that really sticks out for me is Esmeralda. She isn't particularly hard to beat, but she was one of the first ch. 4 bosses I fought, and I found her fight to be really fun and decently challenging at the time. Steorra is also memorable bc she was probably the hardest of the secret job bosses for me. Simeon is a really great boss fight, and was one of the most challenging on my first run bc my team was mostly magic based and I didn't know he had the silencing move. Darius is one of my favorite bosses storywise, and he can be fairly challenging too if you are unprepared. I also really like the Erhardt fight as a concept, though the battle itself was just okay imo.

[@FruitBasketYT]

Esmeralda is a really cool fight, I just find it less memorable because Tressa's story doesn't work for me. She was pretty hard on my first playthrough especially. Dreisang is the only hidden job boss that I've fought more than twice (I fight him every playthrough, the others only when I'm going for Galdera) Totally agree with you on Darius and Erhardt.

[@hypethedude2595]

Massive Spoilers I love the hints the game gives at Galdera. Most of the endings tie into Gate of Finis and even if they don't the tombs dropped is pretty interesting because it explains the connections between the final bosses (like Mattias and Simeon or Red Eye being Alfyn's role model and it just goes into full detail about his transformation and how he was convinced) which makes everything feel more connected and the final boss even more final. Although I do wish we could see some of the characters reactions to the tombs I like to think that's why after those mini bosses and realizing it was all connected we reach the journeys end.

[@Lewj-c4s]

Cool list though I totally thought that Mattias would have made it.

[@SuperSupersoda]

Mattias is the one who still gives me nightmares sometimes. Ophelia's story got really dark really quick. One minute you're on a pilgrimage to carry the light of the sacred flame, and the next minute. . . well, play it and find out.

[@behindtheheart6512]

My favorite boss in the game is Darius. Therion was my starter and we can relate in many ways. I agree with what you said but he made my time playing octopath worth it

[@alexlun4464]

I love how many stories revolved around the dark god and the gate of finnis. You finish all chapters and end up like "Hang on, what was all that Gate of Finis crap even about???" then you start digging and completing side quests until you find it.

[@noobdude5933]

7:05 I actually think Red-eye is a great ch4 boss. Not only does it have the biggest lore out of all the ch4 bosses, it's fun to fight against and has a fun mechanic about him.

[@soar1n479]

bro the music is simeon boss fight is amazing

[@WanupDeShroom]

Branden I pissed my pants when I found out that Doopliss stole my body!!! I now love ttyd tho.... 2nd fav rpg rn

[@WanupDeShroom]

also good vid octopath looks interesting

[@orvaldurgumundson1809]

Oh yes Simeon is definitely the best villain in this game. He is just such a beautifuly sick insane asshole.

[@alohame5582]

One of my favoutites would be ogre eagle , Alfyn chapter 4. Gameplay wise for sure. I fought him underleveled and the 2nd phase was hard. Also the music went hard. I thought that the music is unique for this boss. And lorewise... I think it's pretty cool that the boss isn't a bad guy in the fight, but it is the Alfyn. Such a nice shift from being good

[@emmiccino528]

I know you said if it's your first playthrough you won't have fun with Miguel but when he came up on my screen I was just- full hype from the music, his badass design, and the fight was just- WELL BALANCED in my opinion unlike various other fights I've attempted since his (A H E M mofuckin Tressa chapter 3 I fought it once then reset my save because I was mad)

[@rngsomeone1003]

These are good, but I really wonder what Mattias is doing. That being said, now that the prequel is out (Champions of the Continent), would you change any rankings based on the lore revelations there?

[@dew-it8744]

I heard how hard red eye was, but on my playthrough... I beat on my first try, I don’t know how but I did

[@whatis_goingon]

It's funny, bc Redeye was one of the last bosses I fought, but by the time I did, all the characters were really high level bc I also went around doing side quests and trying to find some 10 star captures for H'aanit. I ended up beating it and barely giving it a chance to get a hit in the entire time... and then I went into the Galdera fight thinking it would be that easy and got curbstomped 10 times over

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

My question is will there be a video about Octopath traveler 2 sometime? Or not? I am just asking out of couriosity

[@empressfrozentoes5285]

when I saw redeye I was not prepared to see trisha elric, I was expecting some redeyed wolf shit not the product of an alchemical cataclysm

[@bananaranch6002]

A tip for number 2 on the list is he actually does that twice if you don't have enough damage but if you use leghold trap on the hunter class it trivializes it

[@RyuFalchionX]

I am a simple man, I see Octopath, I click and like the video.

[@fox7794]

Alr...ima beat octopath traveler and I’ll come back to watch this so I don’t see all the bosses-

[@Swimdude11]

Number 2, can kill u one hit. Yes it can, I remember coming into to this fight and having my whole party wipe in a single turn. Fun times

[@nothappeningmate9402]

Personally the story was actually quite good if you look away from tressa and alphyn

[@petezuh]

good shit man

[@topazelaroche6312]

I would’ve picked Lucia over Yvon just because of the absolutely horrific spine almost tearing through the skin and just the game showing you the 30 shield points

[@useroffline5612]

I wrecked Miguel with Warbringer Job and Hunter with Battle-tested bow didn't know he supposed to be hard boss. For me my hardest Boss was Simeon , his 2nd phase didn't see that coming , also his AOE Dark Arts and Master of Silence really frustated !

[@markpiper6382]

1:25 Or you could just healspam with ophilia until the debuff runs out.

[@susalum3887]

i too enjoyed miguel

[@someguy9421]

Wish people talked more about this game. It got robbed at the game awards :/

[@SuperMarioPlushMasters]

Glad to hear that the Thousand year door still has the top spot. It deserves it.

[@pokemonml13]

I mean I beat Simeon using basic attacks in the second phase 😂 I swear I am not joking and I bearly healed during that boss fight.

[@alejandragutierrez2780]

Personally simeon (for ME) is thr easiest boss in the chapter 4 He was the first who i defeated after of obtain Tressa the runerlord He was a joke for me Everyone boss (exept redeye and the chapter 4 of olberic) One of the harder for me is venomtooth tiger This "pet" ... Destroy me a lot of times

[@christopherhalcrow345]

I beat Miguel first with a low level and above standards. He's very hard and my dad needed to help me with tips and I had to pro play has hard has I could.

[@gfdx3214]

I think I would've like Werner a lot as a boss, but olberic was my main character, and he ended up being my final CH4 boss, so I was kinda too strong, and by happenstance brought a good team to counter most of his stuff, and quickly break him Also, WHERE TF IS MATTIAS

[@JohnRambo1947-July-6th]

Why do the bosses get so big? Its like Attack On Titan lol

[@larsstavenuiter424]

I think redeye is terrible bossfight. An aatack that hits all your party members and makes them unable to move for 3-5 turns BS!! that is not even a little bit fair. You can make it hard but this boss is impossible to beat if this is the first boss you go for with all the level 45 quests

[@moisesbautista327]

what about the runebale and war boss

[@MINICHE79]

Octopus Traveler chapter

[@angli3865]

Why do human characters become larger, i don't like that, it's strange and it thows me off.
