00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're counting down our picks for the bosses in video games

00:16who surprised us with how strong their second forms were.

00:26Before we begin, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe and ring

00:31the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

00:35Saren, Mass Effect Let's be honest, practically everyone used

00:44their Paragon or Renegade options to negate the first phase of this fight, pushing the

00:48traitorous Turian into taking his own life.

00:51But on the off chance you didn't, it's a simple case of blasting from around cover

00:55as Saren hovers overhead, a tad tricky, but nowhere near impossible.

01:04However, when the Reaper takes over and revives his synthetic skeleton, things can get pretty

01:12gnarly.

01:13The arena is small, there's limited cover, and Saren will bounce from wall to wall while

01:17blasting out bolts of energy that can do major damage to Shepard.

01:21Hope you didn't choose to play as a vanguard.

01:27Fur, another crab's treasure.

01:38What happens when a narcissist with dreams of grandeur snatches godhood for themselves?

01:42They become an even bigger narcissist, but now they can control the ocean.

01:50As the crab who stole the world, Furth packs a mean swing, mainly due to how he can dodge

01:55a lot of melee attacks, teleport and summon a giant blade that will crack open your shell

02:00if you don't dodge in time.

02:01But it's when Furth becomes the avatar of waste that he really starts to become a pain.

02:06Between the giant sea mines and the waterspouts, trying to land a hit and stay in one piece

02:10becomes exponentially more difficult.

02:21A giant cocoon that likes to summon a whole lot of tentacles, nothing a ragtag of JRPG

02:31characters can't handle, especially after so much grinding to unlock the best jobs,

02:35abilities and weapons.

02:36At least, that's what we thought, until Vyde reveals his darkly divine true form.

02:45Despite having control of 8 characters, you still feel like an underdog, mainly due to

02:50how Vyde's giant limbs all have their own health bars, and can revive one another.

02:55It's a gauntlet to overcome, and a marathon to endure.

02:58Best of luck.

03:05The Demon Prince, Dark Souls 3.

03:15If you want to get to the Ringed City, you're going to have to walk through Hellfire, courtesy

03:19of the demon in pain, and the demon from below.

03:22Perfectly balanced yet still challenging, overcoming the demon twins shouldn't prove

03:26to be overwhelming for any Ashen ones who have levelled themselves up, to a modest degree.

03:31That is, until the two fuse themselves together and resurrect into their true guise of the

03:35Demon Prince.

03:46Now able to fly, the Prince will blanket the area in flames and projectiles.

03:51But if you venture too close, it's going to come in hot and slice you to pieces with

03:55a barrage of combos.

03:56We can see why Lorian struggled against it.

04:08Doctor Karl's Robot, Cuphead.

04:16This infernal iron giant proved to be the bane of our existence in what was already

04:20proving itself to be one of the most difficult boss rushes gaming has ever known.

04:25Between the homing missiles, lasers and danger of getting too close to its hulking body,

04:30the first phase alone was a piece of work.

04:32So what could be harder?

04:34How about pure bullet hell?

04:40When Doctor Karl reveals himself, he wastes no time in blanketing the screen with projectiles

04:45that'll have you sweating and swerving.

04:47You'll spend so long trying to navigate through, you'll forget to return fire.

04:56Eviterno, Blasphemous 2.

05:05The father of the penitents may be getting on in years, but don't let that fool you.

05:09The geezer knows how to make a sword sing.

05:11The first phase is actually rather reasonable, offering plenty of opportunity to punish him

05:16and even deflect a few of his attacks back his way.

05:18That all goes out the window when he decides to swap the sorcery for a melee build.

05:31His AoE attacks are absurd in their size, scope and speed.

05:34Just when you think you're out of harm's way, you'll likely find yourself sliced to

05:38pieces in another crazy combo.

05:48Ludwig, Bloodborne.

05:57You'll barely have a moment to process what you're even looking at before this accursed

06:01beast has trampled you into paste.

06:03Horrifying and mesmerising in equal measure, Ludwig's charged attacks demand that you be

06:07quick on your heels, and even quicker when it comes to landing hits.

06:11That is, until Ludwig rediscovers his guiding moonlight, and switches things up drastically.

06:24Now armed with the Moonlight Greatsword, his attacks now consist of massive swings that

06:28can reach near and far, whilst offering little margin for error.

06:32Not only does this phase provide a great arc for Ludwig's character, but one of Bloodborne's

06:36greatest hurdles to overcome.

06:46Theseus and Asterius, Hades.

06:55As a double battle, this mythological hero and his minotaur bro make for quite the test

07:00of skill, with one launching projectiles from afar, while the other brings the pain up close.

07:04Whichever one you choose to dispatch first, rest assured, the fight only gets harder from

07:09there.

07:20Asterius will become even more relentless with his swings, while Theseus will take a

07:24page out of Zag's playbook and start channelling the power of the gods.

07:28The only thing more intense than the fight itself is the rage you'll feel towards Theseus's

07:32smug face.

07:40Simon Manus, Lies of Pea.

07:53Insane alchemist turned monster with one hell of a tumour.

07:56Simon Manus's turn as a boss was almost disappointing when compared to some of his puppet lackeys.

08:01He just swings his weapon around and leaves plenty of room for openings.

08:05And then he revealed the fruits of his experiments.

08:21Turns out that tumour of his actually houses… um… god?

08:25Or at least a conduit for one, on account that as soon as it's born it literally reaches

08:29out to touch the actual hand of god?

08:32We think?

08:33It may be bonkers, but it sure as hell hits hard, barely giving you an inch before laying

08:37the smite down on poor Pinocchio.

08:48Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erg Tree.

09:00The awe and surprise of seeing this beloved boss return was almost as intense as the thrashing

09:05he gave us seconds later.

09:07As Elden Ring's most challenging boss, yes even more so than Melania, shaving off even

09:12an inch of his health felt like a triumph.

09:15Then his second phase began, wherein Micheala decides to enter the fray, declare his beloved

09:19brother as his new consort, and give him the power to unleash an absurd amount of holy

09:24damage.

09:29Rodan's new moveset was already punishing enough, but combined with Micheala's not

09:41so kind array of magic, he becomes an absolute monster.

10:01Which of these second phases made you rage quit?

10:04Let us know in the comments!
