Picture it: [i]You’ve just fought and looted your way through the deepest dungeon, and enter into a suspiciously large room where a bounty of treasure lies. Before you can claim it, you hear a bonechilling roar emanate from the roof above, and the head a massive dragon emerges from a hole in the roof proceeding with the rest of the beast crashing through. You grip your blade tightly, and prepare for a fight.[/i] Boss fights such as this almost always are accompanied by an epic soundtrack to set the tone of the fight, and the most notable ones always have unique mechanics to them that you can master, and thus make quick work of the boss. Some boss fights include phases where the boss disappears or shields himself to recuperate and sends its minions to face you (and for you to stock up on health potions). Some boss fights have quick-time events challenging your reflexes and rewarding you with an awesome attack animation on the boss. These often challenging encounters have become the ultimate way to end the story of a video game, and often serve as the climax or breaking point, although some are followed by a GTFO sequence, such as Halo’s Warthog Runs. Truly, some of the best moments in gaming is finally defeating that one impossible boss after trying 50 times, either alone or with friends. So I now ask you: Which boss fight in gaming has become your favorite?
