00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays, and today we're counting down our choices for the most trying boss

00:12battles to come out over the course of this year.

00:26about our latest videos.

00:29Egon, Nine Souls It just wouldn't be an end-of-year boss list

00:34without a bit of Souls-like stirred into the mix, and Egon is guaranteed to put you through

00:39your paces.

00:40Obsessed with immortality, this genius helmed the Eternal Cauldron Project, and in her drive

00:46brought about plague and death.

00:48So naturally, it falls on you to put the old woman six feet under, though that is no easy

00:55matter.

00:56Across three brutal stages, Egon is going to come at you with blinding speed that will

01:01demand perfect parrying, made all the worse when she starts going all out with those projectiles

01:07and delayed sword strikes.

01:09Grovekeeper Tepoda, another crab's treasure.

01:20Wandering off the beaten path in this undersea Souls-like was a surefire way to find yourself

01:25embroiled in some savage optional boss battles, and none proved more of a challenge than Tepoda.

01:30This Mantis Shrimp hits hard.

01:33The speed of his punches paired with the gnarly habit of whipping up sandstorms means you

01:38don't know where his attacks are coming from at any given moment.

01:42And if your parrying isn't on point, then there's a good chance he's going to breel

01:46your shell and leave you defenseless.

01:49Given how vital he is to leveling up your crab-tagonist, it's a battle worth undertaking

01:54regardless.

02:08True Devil Kazuya – Tekken 8

02:19The King of Iron Fist is no stranger to challenging opponents, some of which have felt borderline

02:24broken over the years.

02:26Kazuya and his demonic alter-ego sit comfortably among the pantheon of exhausting combatants

02:31that simply refuse to go down.

02:34You'll lose count of how many rounds you have to knock out Kazuya, who is downright

02:38dirty when it comes to abusing counters, throws, and especially that damned laser beam.

02:43If he trips you up even once, you can expect to get juggled.

02:48Not even Jin's awesome new angel form is going to be enough to brush off his daddy's brutal

02:52combos.

03:06Amalia – Unicorn Overlord

03:08Yes, that giant woman who uses a door for a shield and a blade that would make Cloud

03:13Strife blush is a beast of a boss fight.

03:16Who would have guessed?

03:17Amalia is fought twice during the course of the Colosseum match-up, first with a group

03:22of powerful warriors in their own right, serving as support, and again by her lonesome.

03:27Ironically enough, it's when she goes solo that the difficulty really spikes.

03:32Possessed by a malevolent spirit, this Amazon can dish out an ungodly amount of damage on

03:38your party, consecutively at that.

03:41Defeating her is certainly worth the grind, since she becomes an unlockable party member

03:45right after, not to mention open to marriage.

03:49Orod – The Prince of Persia, The Lost Crown

04:01Every confrontation with the Immortals is a challenging one, pinning Sargon's reflexes

04:05to their limit.

04:07Though, to our mind, not even the final boss held a candle to this master of storms.

04:12It isn't so much Orod's size that's a problem, it's his insane range.

04:17This juggernaut swings around electrified anchors across the limited area continually,

04:22leaving precious few windows to avoid damage, made all the worse when his later phase starts

04:27to drastically increase their area of effect.

04:30If you get stunned, you're going to be temporarily unable to bust out your specials, which you'll

04:35desperately need to shave off his health.

04:38This gets to somersaulting every chance you get if you want to avoid riding the lightning.

04:51Sephiroth – Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

05:06Every time the one-winged angel shows up, you know you're in for a hell of a time.

05:11While getting to play as Zack was wild, not even two Buster Swords were going to be able

05:16to easily deal with something as Lovecraftian as Sephiroth Reborn.

05:20You'll have to cut away at each part of his new colossal body as Cloud while getting

05:25battered with Maelstrom, as well as deal with the shadowy version of Bahamut via the rest

05:29of the party.

05:31This all culminates in one last showdown against the original, and yes, he will use Heartless

05:36Angels, so don't you best not linger.

05:47Raven – Stellar Blade

05:57Whether you're battling against her feathered form or as a fellow sword user, Raven is one

06:02pissed-off android who will relentlessly test your combat prowess.

06:06As the unknown Natibah, she will hack your health with her talons, and if you aren't

06:11careful, end you with an insta-kill move that is far from easy to cancel.

06:16Things only escalate when she goes mano-a-mano with her own blade, where she'll string together

06:21combos that become increasingly complex with askew timings, so unless you're a deflect

06:26god, shrugging off her swings can feel borderline impossible.

06:38Elizabeth – Persona 3 Reload

06:40Ah yes, the timed and tested tradition of the Velvet Room attendants being the most

06:54difficult bosses to beat in a Persona game.

06:57No surprise to see that the remakes stuck to this by having Elizabeth serve as the final

07:01challenge for those who overcame every obstacle in Tartarus.

07:05Not only do you have to fight her solo, but unless you fulfill specific, unnamed conditions,

07:10then Elizabeth is going to instantly end you without warning.

07:14You have to play by her rules, and even then, she'll unleash a crazy amount of damage.

07:20Any hope of survival entirely depends on a specific loadout of some of the rarest and

07:24most difficult Personas and equipment to obtain, so best hope you've got yen to spare.

07:39Erlang – The Sacred Divinity – Black Myth Wukong

07:50Because apparently battling Wukong's remains wasn't enough, you've also got to face his

07:54nemesis if you want to truly prove yourself worthy.

07:58While unlocking the passage to fight Erlang is all kinds of tricky in of itself, the actual

08:02fight can be hell, given that this Enforcer of the Celestial Court happens to have an

08:08extra defense bar that makes inflicting damage that much harder.

08:12He can cancel your transformations, blindside you with projectile volleys, and offers barely

08:17any room to catch your breath.

08:19It speaks to how demonstrably difficult the encounter is, when we'd rather take on the

08:23four Heavenly Giants any day than have to tango with one dude and his dog.

08:41Redan – Shadow of the Erd Tree – Elden Ring

08:54Just when we thought the lands between had broken us with Melania, Erlang comes from

08:58software to demonstrate just how high they can reach when it comes to boss battles, both

09:03in terms of spectacle and unyielding soul-shattering frustration.

09:08Redan's return was shocking enough, but as it happens, he also comes armed with a new

09:13skill set that makes his previous encounter feel like battling the Soldier of Godric.

09:18Gravity magic, blood magic, insanely fast sword swings, and that's all before Phase

09:232.

09:24Throw in holy aftershocks and an insta-kill grapple courtesy of Mikala, and you have a

09:29boss that broke a generation of gamers.

09:45Which boss battle from this year crushed your hopes and dreams?

09:47Let us know in the comments.
