Who is the Hardest Boss Battle in Splatoon! [All Bosses RANKED!]

You actually get dualies in the Neo Octostomp fight, making it easier to dodge his attacks.

Before the video even started I knew that inner Agent 3 was going to be the hardest boss. I think no one would say that inner agent 3 was not the hardest boss in the game

[@alexsomegaruby456]

I'm actually the first person. Honestly, the difficulty for me stayed the same but switch the Sanitized Octo Samurai with Inner Agent 3. Btw probably too late but I'm getting Splatoon 1 for my Wii U because the eShop is going down and I've played the 2nd and 3rd games just so I can see how hard the first game bosses are.

[@Trikovioz]

Tbh, Big Man with full upgrades definitely deserves to be on the very bottom of the list. There's an upgrade that lets you see exactly which silhouette is him and you can beat him incredibly easily and very fast. And yes, because Big Man is the last boss before you get to the end game area, it is completely possible to get that upgrade your first playthrough.

[@korijan2660]

Oh that's not normal??? Yeah my first playthrough I had every upgrade in the game before fighting him and since I struggled with Frye so much I was scared to fight him but I beat him first try in under a minute! I've always been so confused why everyone found him hard I didn't even realise the silloughette thing was an upgrade I feel,,, less good at the game now

to be fair that might be the point of the Octobot King L3, a piece of old tech that's long outstayed its welcome and needs to be replaced, hence why instead of it being the final boss it's the first boss

Yes, plus it’s the the first boss, some ppls first splatoon game is splat 3, not even that possibly their first ever game is splatoon 3!

Mr Grizz's final phase actually caused me a lot of trouble.

[@dolphindance1067]

Difficulty wise I had (oddly enough) had trouble with the octo samurai, despite it only being the 2nd boss in Splatoon 2. I think this is because I was new to the series as a whole, and I think that circumstance could also be considered when eating bosses. Design wise I love Octo Maw:s microphone look and the idea of the shower. My favorite is by far Tartar. The music gives off great vibes and was insanely epic. I did struggle with at first but I felt accomplished when I finally beat it that gave me a feeling unlike any other boss or final boss for that matter.

Big Man was easily #19 for me. Just get the sensor upgrade and all the sudden his gimmik is irrelevent. No sensor? No problem. Just shoot everywhere indiscriminately and you'll get him eventually. I killed him in less than a minute on my first go. Edit: He forgot to mention that inner agent 3 has about 5 phases in and each one has a different special that can absolutly wreck you, 1st being inkjet (hard to hit and hits hard), 2nd being bubble (block your path and pose a threat everywhere), 3rd being autobomb launcher (you can't stay still and will get chip damaged to death), 4th is tenta missiles from a far off location (the very bane of splatoon itself), 5th is splashdowns (armored and fast). 5 whole flavors of death in a singular package with nearly perfect AI and unfair advantages including range, dps, unlimited ink, dodge rolls, and health.

Inner agent 3 was difficult, but as someone who beat it 28 times, eventually you just learn the patterns and stuff. After Alterna, while not a boss, was definitely more difficult for me, especially since it was harder to prepare for it. Also, I'd say the oven is easier than the octobot king l-3.

I really have to disagree with Big Man being so high on the list. by that point in the campaign you SHOULD have upgraded your hero suit significantly. One of the upgrades (improved sensors) basically makes it the easiest fight in the game. The real Big Man is marked with a different color target, and inking that one instantly ends the phase. I can see it being difficult without that, but I honestly thought that it was supposed to be comedically easy the first time I fought him.
