00:00I have to kill you. Try it, but I'm no king.

00:05Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're revealing our picks for the most challenging bosses in

00:10the Witcher franchise. Be warned, major spoilers ahead.

00:27notified about our latest videos.

00:42Hearts of Stone is significantly more challenging than the base game

00:46with many frustrating bosses to fight. One of its creepiest bosses is the Caretaker,

00:52wielding a hefty shovel that deals way more damage than expected.

00:56The most difficult aspect is his regeneration. Every hit he lands on you will heal him.

01:02Remember to spam Quen, which prevents this, and alongside this,

01:06he summons spirits who will also restore his health if not killed in time.

01:11If you kill him, you can loot his spade from his corpse,

01:15a decent weapon which heals Geralt 10% of all damage inflicted.

01:20No eyes or nostrils, deformed organs, damn thing had no right to be alive.

01:24The Kaeran, The Witcher 2, Assassins of Kings.

01:37The second Witcher game is where the series started to shine,

01:41introducing a satisfying combat system with deep RPG mechanics.

01:45It's harder than its sequel, especially in the early game,

01:48with things like alchemy not being a build choice but an essential mechanic.

01:53The Kaeran is the first major monster and the game's first real skill check.

01:58If you know what you're doing, it's not too bad, but to learn you must suffer.

02:03Once beaten, you will feel like a true witcher. Your reward is the Kaeran's skin,

02:09a component for the Kaeran Carapace armor, one of the best in the early game.

02:15Imlareth, The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt.

02:35Geralt comes toe-to-toe with the Hunt's second general, Invalen,

02:39on top of Bald Mountain during the Crone's Sabbath.

02:41He wields a huge shield and a monstrous mace, and he has phases of teleporting around.

02:47You need to master dodging to win this fight, and patience is key.

02:52When beaten, the victory cutscene is an amazing reward,

02:56with Geralt using Imlareth's own weapon to deliver the finishing blow.

03:01Don't forget to loot his body, which will give you a singular magic acorn.

03:05It can be consumed for two skill points, or delivered to the villagers, boosting their harvest.

03:22Iris's Greatest Fear, The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt, Hearts of Stone.

03:36Now for one of the most unforgiving bosses in the game.

03:40It's the ethereal form of Olgierd, considered by many to be the hardest boss.

03:45It's straightforward, but punishing, only letting you make a few mistakes.

03:50You face six opponents, but only one at a time, unless you hit them, then they'll jump right in.

03:57Each one will come down on you with an onslaught of flurry attacks,

04:01and they'll all frequently teleport.

04:03Even if you know what you're doing, one small mistake, and you're dead.

04:08If you want even more of a challenge, fighting all six together gives you the

04:12win-its-many-against-one achievement, one of the game's rarest.

04:21Letho, The Witcher 2, Assassins of Kings.

04:33Ready, as I'll ever be.

04:36The Kingslayer is the game's primary antagonist, a fellow Witcher hailing from the school of Viper.

04:42It only makes sense that he's one of the game's strongest opponents.

04:45Geralt fights him twice, and both times are a challenge, but the first encounter is harder.

04:52The arena is smaller, your character is weaker, and you haven't had as much practice.

04:57Since he's a Witcher, he'll use signs too, like Quen, which is an absolute headache to deal with.

05:03It's easiest to beat him using magic, rather than with a sword,

05:07although he is susceptible to parries if you're confident enough.

05:11Fascinatingly, sparing his life causes him to appear in The Witcher 3.

05:15Karanthir, The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt.

05:38The Wild Hunt's main mage and navigator is the hardest hunt warrior Geralt faces.

05:43Both Geralt and Ciri face him off just before the final boss, Ariden,

05:47who is nowhere near as threatening as his mage.

05:51The Ciri section is significantly easier, having access to a teleport and regenerating health.

05:57When Geralt steps in, Karanthir dials it up to 11, and starts unleashing torrents of magic.

06:03He teleports frequently in both phases, and also summons ice elementals to distract you.

06:09They're not difficult, but they'll draw your attention away from his constant projectiles.

06:14Once he's defeated, only Ariden stands between you and the ending.

06:26Toad Prince, The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt, Hearts of Stone.

06:31Despite being just a toad, this boss packs a hefty punch,

06:35and is the first major skill check in Hearts of Stone.

06:38He used to be a prince, until he nearly married Iris, whom Olgierd loved.

06:43So Olgierd cursed him, turning him into a massive toad.

06:47It's no use trying to backstab him, he'll just kick and jump.

06:51Don't stand in front of him, or he'll kick you in the face.

06:55It's no use trying to backstab him, he'll just kick and jump.

06:59Don't stand in front as well, or his mighty tongue will devastate you.

07:03Ensure you bring a few poison potions, or even go one step further,

07:07and chug a superior golden oriole potion.

07:10This grants healing from poison, putting the odds in Geralt's favor.

07:15Bizarre Javed, The Witcher.

07:37Most of this game's difficulty comes from its old age and dated mechanics.

07:41As such, it has its fair share of frustrating bosses, but for many, it's not a fun challenge.

07:48Bizarre Javed is one of the major antagonists, and is a headache to fight.

07:53He's a fire mage, who can quite easily mortally burn an unprepared Geralt.

07:57Be prepared to get knocked off your feet, and all you can do is watch as Javed abuses you.

08:03Once defeated, it's doubtful you'll struggle against anything else the game throws at you.

08:11Javed's dead.

08:13Witcher Geralt.

08:16Expect to see me, Grand Master.

08:20Soon.

08:22Saskia, The Witcher 2, Assassins of Kings.

08:26We may have lost a battle, but the war is just beginning.

08:30You, however, shall not take part in it.

08:34This is your end, Witcher.

08:37If you sided with Rosh, then the dragon fought near the end of the game

08:40will be simply another monster.

08:42If you sided with Iorveth, you will know the Adrenian rebel is secretly a dragon.

08:48When fought, she's being mind-controlled by Philippa Eilhart,

08:51motivating those who took Iorveth's path to spare her.

08:54The fight takes place on a tiny tower roof, giving you little room to dodge the dragon's attacks.

09:00Once succeeded, players can choose to spare or kill Saskia.

09:04Her best ending is achieved by helping Philippa instead of Triss,

09:08letting you both spare her and break her spell.

09:12We were fighting to the death just minutes ago.

09:15I understand.

09:16I believe I owe you part of my treasure.

09:19Family tradition and all.

09:21Dettlaff.

09:22The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt, Blood and Wine.

09:25Came here to kill you.

09:28Refence to the point.

09:31How refreshing.

09:33The Beast of Beauclair is the primary villain in Blood and Wine,

09:37alongside being the final boss of the entire franchise until The Witcher 4 releases.

09:42He's up there with Aetherial Altgeard for being considered the game's hardest.

09:47He maintains his humanoid form during Phase 1,

09:50but in Phase 2, he turns into a horrifying flying vampire.

09:54His third and final phase is even more terrifying,

09:58taking place inside the vampire's organs.

10:01Rather than tackling him head-on, Geralt must destroy his three hearts,

10:06allowing him to finally defeat the ungodly vampire.

10:14Leave him to me.

10:15Be gone.

10:16I can't let him.

10:17I insist.

10:19Are there any bosses you want to see return in the next game?

10:22Let us know in the comments.
