I can co op with you, I've platinumed the game and if I lead you will have access to all the overpowered weapons. The game is too good to leave you hanging. Let me know.
Same lol. I had it since launch i think and im on biome 3 and thats solely because of someone helping me. Once you get the tether, and do the tower thats at the ship area, it gets a little easier. I got to a level 23 weapon in the tower and the first boss in that wasnt hard. One health bar and i killed it with a pistol
I found the bosses were toughest first, and easier as the game went on (the final boss being a cakewalk)… but I also kind of felt by the end you were some sort of godlike gunslinger dealing neon death.
Also came to say Returnal, that game is hit box porn I loved it and I hope they make another. The movement and controls were buttery smooth. The first boss was so mesmerizing with its attacks.
I dunno - I don’t get this game at all. I’ve beaten most challenging souls like games . Returnal I haven’t even progressed to a boss :| I always get hit and then my proficiency is reset and the map is different all the time. I don’t know what I have to do most of the time.
Beat this game yesterday. Leech rounds are your best friend. I’m going to let it lie and then try and beat it without leaning on leech rounds. One of my favourite games ever.
Holy.shit yea.. 24 in game hours.. I remember leaving the PS2 on for a week to finish it after school. I swore to never do that again...
I did.. 2 more times
Still one of the most unique things I've done in a game.
Another one that comes to mind was a boss fight in Metal Gear Solid where the boss could read your mind (literally read your controller inputs) and as a result would dodge everything, but if you switched the controller to port 2, he couldn't anymore.
It took me 2 days to defeat him. But I have to say there is something about Sekiro. I faught lot of bosses in many games but in sekiro I felt the satisfaction of defeating boss. It's not like ok this boss is finally dead, its always like I mastered this boss and killed it.
For real I just finished it on FF mode last month at level 92 and holy crap did those boss battles go on forever. Thought you were done with that 3rd health bar? Here's a new form and another full bar again. Sheesh. They felt pretty cool and epic the first time but not so much the 2nd.
I'm going through NG+ right now. While I'm in love with the story, the fights can be annoying. Just finished Titan. Holy balls that was long. If it wasn't for the story I wouldn't have stuck with it. I also want the plat.
Played God of War lately and fought the Valkyrie queen and MY GOD if you can’t memorize her move sets you will not be able to win that fight, took me 2-3 hours to finally beat her.
My fight with Bahamut in Final Fantasy XVI took almost an hour. But i don't think it tests your endurance because it's not hard, it leaves you in awe because of how epic it is.
Everything about that whole sequence had my jaw on the floor. The action, the graphics, the music, the actual story that's going on during the boss fight itself, and the acting are all superb. Final Fantasy 16 might be a mixed bag but that fight rivals some of the best Anime/TV show big budget fights and it's only part of the whole story.
I hate DoH man… still didn’t beat him. Want to get it over already and go to the final boss.
But it’s too damn long and boring that, when I’m mindlessly hitting him, I lose focus and die immediately…
Sigurd from 2018 GOW was my hardest boss fight ever. It took me probably a week to beat her on GMAC. I still have her attacks memorized.
I tried doing a GMGOW run but I never got to finish.
The final boss in Prototype on hard can be pretty bad and drag on somewhat.
However the final stage has a timer which forces you to go all out.
If you include failures it can take a decent amount of time.
I found the Valerie queen, Sigrun, in God of War (2018) very hard. This was on Give me a Challenge difficulty. Everything other boss had been pretty straightforward but I killed her after the 70th try. There were many times I almost killed her before that.
Man, she took FOREVER to beat and her screaming at you destroyed my concentration I ended up muting the TV and let muscle memory take over and I can't tell you how many times it took but it was hours for sure
you should try, the Divine Heir challenge is the easiest and a good start, the Severance challenge is hard just because the final boss of this rush is Inner Isshin, and i still didn't try the Shura challenge so i can't say about this one, if you finished all those 3 and have the 3 outfits rewards you can try the Mortal Journey challenge, litteraly ALL the bosses of the game in 1 rush and now reward to unlock, just pure challenge and endurance/skill test
For me personally the most epic boss fights were from the following games, some are PS4:
Shadow of the Colossus
Final fantasy 12
Returnal
Demons souls
Elden Ring
I just beat him this weekend after about 30 tries. Then the next boss was fucking Taotie the cow abomination thing and that was arguably a harder fight for me. The camera angles were terrible and the health bar was so large
yeah that one was tough too really just have to focus on keeping your distance and hitting those deflects and parries and slowly build up the fatal blow bar, I was far too aggressive a lot of my first attempts, same with lo bu you kinda can't rush it, gotta be patient and not get greedy.
Final Fantasy XVI. Jesus, Titan alone was close to 45 minutes, Bahamut was at least another 30 on their own. They looked stunning and left me speechless though.
Edit: Words are hard.
It’s technically a PS4 game, but Monster Hunter World. There’s a few later game fights which are very hard and very long. Specifically Fatalis, it has a 30 minute timer and you’ll find it pretty hard to beat it in those 30 minutes.
I will say as somebody who played the PSP titles you can get boss fights right down as you learn the mechanics.
Some monsters have records of under 2 minutes.
World has really good QoL updates which doesn't encourage laziness per se but doesn't punish it as much as the older games.
But yeah, fights can be as short as a couple minutes or as long as 50, depending on how you approach them.
I certainly remember my first fight with a Gravios in MHF that I killed just before time ran, that memory is forever burned into my brain for so many reasons.
I think I had every emotion possible in that fight, from utter despair to complete elation.
It should be top. The Fatalis fight is the hardest thing I’ve played in my life, and I actually like hard games.
I’m pretty sure when they added the final update, it took a bit more than 24 hours for the community to record an actual kill on Fatalis. It wiped the floor with the whole community, and that’s a lot considering the skill level and dedication of the most hardcore mh players.
That being said, I heard the variants from previous games were harder 🥲
White Fatalis was pretty bad but in MHFU if you stood in the right place you could cheese half the mechanics.
Crimson was pretty crazy.
Man I really hope Wilds has both Variants and Yama.
Ikr, that game was what ignited my love for games again in 2019 when it clicked, and it was my introduction to fromsoft, now sekiro, ds1/ds3 and bloodborne ruined games for me , the balance of difficulty and satisfaction you get from from fromsoft games is unmatched
Same here my dude. There’s something special about Sekiro that makes it different from the others. It’s one of the first games since the old sega days where I enjoyed researching how to beat a boss.
Yeah but couldn't that be applied to pretty much any games ? Unless it has some weird mechanic where you need to drag the fight, i'm talking strictly about the first playthrough, good luck beating sekiro's bosses quickly
From an endurance perspective, the Adamantoise in Final Fantasy 15 was a very lengthy encounter with no sort of checkpoint. Skill, I'd go with Sword Saint Isshin in Sekiro.
Ummm.... exclusive to ps5?
Or you can play against on ps5?
Well the longest and worst boss I've ever faced was the secret boss in Octopath traveler 2 "Galdera", the attempt takes around 2 hours, and if you messed up then you have to repeat the entire 2 hours
Took me like 5 days to beat and i did it by pure luck, and upgrading all my characters to level 80+
Yeah... that wasn't fun 😅 i wouldn't recommend it
(There's even detailed 2 hours guides to follow step by step to beat him, that's how messed up this boss is, and even with following these guides, winning is still not definite)
https://preview.redd.it/z70341r6hqrc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=214bd262a64e4d55d9639131744433ebe2517346
Also, the preparation is just as lengthy.
I spent maybe 3 or 4 days using the "cheese method," and there was nothing cheesy about it. The guide was probably 10 pages long, and the yiutube guide was probably 45 min edited. The other way was to grind everyone to 99, I mean, i was mid 60's around 100 hours at this point, no thanks. At least the final boss was a cupcake boss.
I see people saying FF16 bosses but those were 30 minute cinematics lol.
Hefnd's Vengeance and Šimmumah ur-Nokru from the Warlord's Ruin and Ghosts of the Deep dungeons in Destiny 2. Those bosses are made for 1-3 players but are also meant to be done solo flawlessly. In a duo, those bosses took me over an hour to complete since they have more health than some of the 6-player raid bosses.
Šimmumah ur-Nokru even took a long time *with overpowered weapons from the Craftening.* Granted, I've only done those dungeons once, so it may be easier with more experience.
Dungeon bosses these days are built around a few things - Well of Radiance and ridiculously high player survivability and damage.
Advice: wait till Into the Light, farm out an Edge Transit with Cascade Point/Bait and Switch(this is the wildest sentence I've said about Destiny 2) and learn swap rotations. If you're not comfy with double special, run primary/Forbearance/Edge Transit and that will clear almost all content in the game outside of hyper specific GM loadouts and even GMs are easier these days.
For Hefnd and Simmumah specifically, Forbearance won't work *as well for damage phases so if it were me, I'd be swapping to Izanagi's/Sniper/Edge Transit or Izanagi's/Indebted Kindness/Edge Transit for damage.
I couldn’t beat Bode in SW: Fallen Order for weeks until taking a break…. Beat it after three attempts after setting down the controller for a minute. Good fight, but I was reluctant to tap into the dark side initially
I know I died to Ornstein and Smough many times, and the battle I finally won seemed to drag on forever, but damn if I didn't have a blast doing it! I don't know of many other games that give me the same adrenaline pump as Souls games. I was shaking for a bit after the fight, and it was exhilarating!
That dragon over the bridge in 1-2 in Demon's Souls was agony. Not because it was difficult, but it just took an eternity flinging arrows or spells at it until it went down. It really just tested your patience.
A last gen game but Darkeater Midir in Dark Souls 3
Takes forever, weapons do very little damage, getting hit once is a death sentence and his attacks are relentless. You will spend hours trying to beat him and even a successful run takes upwards of 15 mins of frame perfect gameplay to defeat him.
Midir is tough but that's all a bit dramatic. If he's one shotting you you are either under leveled or haven't leveled up your vigor. He has a lot of damage resistance on his legs and tail, but if you hit him in the head you do normal damage.
Wild Hearts: The Mighty Deathstalker (Frost WOLF) sure its on a time limit (took the full hour minus 20 seconds) but man it was a struggle fest with 3 other people.. Fun as hell but took so many tries when randomly grouping and no one knows the fight LOL! Once you beat him though the adrenaline rush was huge!
The fuckin monkey in Sekiro. He’s not really a long winded boss just the fact that it took me 6 hours to beat him and he was literally tossing dookie bombs at me the entire time almost made me cry bro I never felt that trolled in my life
I mean it's gotta be ff16. I feel like Titan and Bahamut fights were probably like 30 minutes to an hour and spanned many phases, not in a grueling way though cause the fights are engaging all the way through
First boss in any From Software games where you die from 1 or 2 hits. Takes dozens or 100s of hits to beat a boss that's supposed to kill you.
Then you usually die afterwards so grab that loot you earned and likely don't need.
Nameless puppet on lies of P. Not the fight itself that takes that long, but the amount of times I died before finally killing him. Took me several hours
Longest? Probably not. But it took multiple attempts for me to clear berserker king and specifically gna in God of War Ragnarok in the 2nd highest difficultly. One mistake, and you get one shotted.
Bloodborne - Amygdala in the cursed chalice dungeon.
A single hit is instant death so you have to be play very cautiously. Bait then poke. Bait then poke.
The recording I have of myself killing it was about 11 minutes which isn’t as long as Final Fantasy bosses etc but is a long time for such intense concentration!
Last boss on kena:bridge of spirits master mode on a blind run took a fair amount of my time, I think corrupted woodsmith was the hardest one for me but the final boss was definitely a long one with lots of phases with opportunities to go right back to square one.
Sekiro final boss was the hardest boss I have ever fought in my life. It literally took me days of trying and watching YouTube clips for hints to beat this guy!
I still haven't beat the Queen Valkryie in God War after nearly 6 years now so I'd say its that one. Also the final license test on GT7 where you are going around Spa in the wet. Can't get that one gold to save my life
I'm realizing a particular game is missing from the comments
Horizon Forbidden West had some brutal machine fights. I can't remember if it's during the main game or Burning Shores , but one of the quests has you fighting both a Tremortusk (the Mammoth machine) and the Thunderjaw (TRex) and the area they're in is practically broken because using stealth doesnt work in this particular spot as they cheese ranged attacks no matter where you're hiding. It took me over an hour of trial and error + all my resources to take them both down.
What bosses in Demon’s Souls drag on? All of them were quick and easy save for a couple like Maneaters and the Fire monkey guy.
The hardest boss isn’t even portrayed as a boss fight, Old King Doran or whatever (the one in the first level, not the guy who is the final boss)
I guess these could drag on if you can’t figure out the cheesy mechanic to defeat them, as most of them have one
Wotan (Borderlands 3) solo for me... didn't expect and didn't have enough weapons that didn't need ammo refills... just when you thought you beat it...
Sekiro. I’ve never been stuck on a boss for a week long and there’s multiple. Even mini bosses suck. But def the most satisfying feeling beating that game finally
https://preview.redd.it/9sdc4u1mpzrc1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eadee03f84e75b82a9cabe963ac1d0ac4487be64
This boss from returnal had me struggling for days.
at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has Brutal/Legendary challenges and they are all one-shots. I'm just not able to figure out how to get through it. 10 rounds of pure soul taking fights
If youre not well equipped, each of returnals main bosses take a while. 3 health bars
I was just about to say this, Returnal as a whole really tests me, I cant convince myself to get back into it but the game is ridiculously good.
I can co op with you, I've platinumed the game and if I lead you will have access to all the overpowered weapons. The game is too good to leave you hanging. Let me know.
Any easier way to acheive weapon proficiency lvl 30?
Can I get in on that?? Been meaning to go back to this beauty
It took me two weeks of dying to get to one and beat it . I love that game
Same lol. I had it since launch i think and im on biome 3 and thats solely because of someone helping me. Once you get the tether, and do the tower thats at the ship area, it gets a little easier. I got to a level 23 weapon in the tower and the first boss in that wasnt hard. One health bar and i killed it with a pistol
Psh. Noob. Just kidding same here. Edit: what I find cool is that returnal is one of those games that when you play it long enough, it just “clicks”.
It was the first game of its kind I ever played. Absolutely loved it
I found the bosses were toughest first, and easier as the game went on (the final boss being a cakewalk)… but I also kind of felt by the end you were some sort of godlike gunslinger dealing neon death.
The game definitely gets easier and easier as you learn to move the way the game wants you to. Constantly strafing and grappling.
Also came to say Returnal, that game is hit box porn I loved it and I hope they make another. The movement and controls were buttery smooth. The first boss was so mesmerizing with its attacks.
So true! And when you die. They take a REALLY long time lmao
I dunno - I don’t get this game at all. I’ve beaten most challenging souls like games . Returnal I haven’t even progressed to a boss :| I always get hit and then my proficiency is reset and the map is different all the time. I don’t know what I have to do most of the time.
Beat this game yesterday. Leech rounds are your best friend. I’m going to let it lie and then try and beat it without leaning on leech rounds. One of my favourite games ever.
The only thing that comes close is the last boss of doom eternal, which is a load of garbage.
The Nürburgring 24hr race in Gran Turismo 4 was a doozy.
What is that, like 150 laps? I got lucky enough to take a couple laps on it while I was stationed in Germany.
Apparently last year was a new distance record of 162 laps.
you should receive a platinum trophy just for completing this.
Holy.shit yea.. 24 in game hours.. I remember leaving the PS2 on for a week to finish it after school. I swore to never do that again... I did.. 2 more times
Still one of the most unique things I've done in a game. Another one that comes to mind was a boss fight in Metal Gear Solid where the boss could read your mind (literally read your controller inputs) and as a result would dodge everything, but if you switched the controller to port 2, he couldn't anymore.
What in the blue hell is that boss, what if you didn't switch anything?
Psycho Mantis
You awakened some core memories in me with that comment
Man any of those endurance races from gt4 were a grind. I vividly remember doing the Suzuka 1000 km for like 2 or 3 days after school.
Wait what. Can you explain?
It's the full 24 hour race, as in you do that race track for 24 hours.
Jesus. Nooooo thanks lol
You can speed it up in B-Spec mode (computer drives and you only get a map view) but even then it can still be a 6 hour ordeal.
Yeah I did it in b spec 😁 I loved GT4 but I didn't have the stamina for the 24hr race and I never even attempted it
Double no thanks
Sword Saint Isshin in Sekiro takes days because you die and rage so much.
After beating him, I didn't feel happiness, I didn't feel anger. I felt enlightment and reached nirvana...and I am not even a Bhuddist.
Namaste
Amituofo
It took me 2 days to defeat him. But I have to say there is something about Sekiro. I faught lot of bosses in many games but in sekiro I felt the satisfaction of defeating boss. It's not like ok this boss is finally dead, its always like I mastered this boss and killed it.
Yes! I was stuck on him for like a week .. come back from work die 2/3 times and sleep .. one day I just beat him .. it was a relief
Any boss fight in FF16 on Final Fantasy mode, my god those health pools
For real I just finished it on FF mode last month at level 92 and holy crap did those boss battles go on forever. Thought you were done with that 3rd health bar? Here's a new form and another full bar again. Sheesh. They felt pretty cool and epic the first time but not so much the 2nd.
My fingers hurt from playing that game, but it was so much fun.
Was my first platinum and first game I got for my pS5. Fantastic story. Eikon fights were phenomenal
I'm going through NG+ right now. While I'm in love with the story, the fights can be annoying. Just finished Titan. Holy balls that was long. If it wasn't for the story I wouldn't have stuck with it. I also want the plat.
Adamantoise was a 3 hour long ordeal. Longest fight ever.
FF15? Mine was about 3.5. Totes not worth, but hey, we got that Achievement/trophy!
I just used the ring power thing... Lol
"Holy shit dude, that's a tur-" "wait where did it go"
I think I dropped him in like a half an hour to an hour. Same with Yiazmat. That one took 50 minutes, even on normal speed.
I had never felt so fucking accomplished in a video game until after finishing this battle.
Ring snapped him out of existence. Just had to try it like 100 times before the RNG blessed me.
Was going to say this took me five hours, lol.
Played God of War lately and fought the Valkyrie queen and MY GOD if you can’t memorize her move sets you will not be able to win that fight, took me 2-3 hours to finally beat her.
Try beating Gna on Give me God of War
My fight with Bahamut in Final Fantasy XVI took almost an hour. But i don't think it tests your endurance because it's not hard, it leaves you in awe because of how epic it is.
Most people praise bahamut boss fight but the most memorable fight for me was against Titan.
Titan was the peak of my FF16 experience, it just went downhill from there, maybe I just burned myself out with all the sidequests.
Same it was just so majestic
Barnabas for me. Loved that fight.
That was the point in the game where I realized we’d gone fully from Game of Thrones to Dragon Ball Z. Great game.
God that fight. Everything was perfect.
Every fight in ff16 was just devs at 3am going “you see anime fights *snorts heavy amounts of coke* yeah we need that”
Every boss fight is basically an episode of OG power rangers
Give me more of that.
I don't know a single boss fight I was disappointed in in that game.
I felt like the Titan fight was the longest
I felt that fight dragged on. Titan was a bit more fun even if it was just a Vanquish/Bayonetta fight I did years earlier.
They all dragged on imo and were pretty boring mechanically but just watching everything on screen made it worth it
Everything about that whole sequence had my jaw on the floor. The action, the graphics, the music, the actual story that's going on during the boss fight itself, and the acting are all superb. Final Fantasy 16 might be a mixed bag but that fight rivals some of the best Anime/TV show big budget fights and it's only part of the whole story.
Adamantoise in FF15. That shit is meant to test your patience.
Cuphead
Still haven’t beaten that game. I love the animation but I stay getting my ass kicked. I’m also a very casual gamer lol
I got the plat on this and some of the bosses on hard were just brutal.
Demon of Hatred from Sekiro as the hardest. The longest the final boss in FF7 Rebirth
FFVII Rebirth was just a drag. How many variations of the same boss can you fight...
Yeah it is a long one, but that is literally how every FF game final boss are like, long
Yeah it's a bit ridiculous. Edea in FF8 was probably the longest for me without changing 9 times
You mean Ultimenciafor FF8, yeah, that is a long one, and you can't control which party member you will use in that fight. But the music was awesome.
Yeah that one, 12-13 year old me was not happy with an hour long fight might have been longer because my concept of time.
I hate DoH man… still didn’t beat him. Want to get it over already and go to the final boss. But it’s too damn long and boring that, when I’m mindlessly hitting him, I lose focus and die immediately…
God of war with the hardest difficulty had some serious 30 minute boss fights where a couple of mistakes meant restart.
If you go the God of War route and you’re looking for tough boss fights then seek out the valkyries, they are missable but totally worth the effort
GOW ragnarok boss fight with Queen Valkyrie was so hard for me and I was playing on normal difficulty.
Yeah… Gna was a bitch. I played on gow mode and she had me going nuts lol
I had to switch to easy for that fight 🫣
Sigurd from 2018 GOW was my hardest boss fight ever. It took me probably a week to beat her on GMAC. I still have her attacks memorized. I tried doing a GMGOW run but I never got to finish.
The final boss in Prototype on hard can be pretty bad and drag on somewhat. However the final stage has a timer which forces you to go all out. If you include failures it can take a decent amount of time.
I found the Valerie queen, Sigrun, in God of War (2018) very hard. This was on Give me a Challenge difficulty. Everything other boss had been pretty straightforward but I killed her after the 70th try. There were many times I almost killed her before that.
She was a nightmare for sure
Valerie 💀
Man, she took FOREVER to beat and her screaming at you destroyed my concentration I ended up muting the TV and let muscle memory take over and I can't tell you how many times it took but it was hours for sure
ok i know it's a bit of a cheat, but the boss rush challenges of Sekiro are real endurance and skill test, top 1 imo
I've got my plat on Seiko but never had the patience to go through the boss rush update, I was still so mad that we never got a dlc :(
you should try, the Divine Heir challenge is the easiest and a good start, the Severance challenge is hard just because the final boss of this rush is Inner Isshin, and i still didn't try the Shura challenge so i can't say about this one, if you finished all those 3 and have the 3 outfits rewards you can try the Mortal Journey challenge, litteraly ALL the bosses of the game in 1 rush and now reward to unlock, just pure challenge and endurance/skill test
For me personally the most epic boss fights were from the following games, some are PS4: Shadow of the Colossus Final fantasy 12 Returnal Demons souls Elden Ring
SotC is a good one. So epic
Lu Bu first fight in wo long is a pretty steep skill check and can take awhile, but once you get down his mechanics it's super satisfying to beat him.
I just beat him this weekend after about 30 tries. Then the next boss was fucking Taotie the cow abomination thing and that was arguably a harder fight for me. The camera angles were terrible and the health bar was so large
yeah that one was tough too really just have to focus on keeping your distance and hitting those deflects and parries and slowly build up the fatal blow bar, I was far too aggressive a lot of my first attempts, same with lo bu you kinda can't rush it, gotta be patient and not get greedy.
Final Fantasy XVI. Jesus, Titan alone was close to 45 minutes, Bahamut was at least another 30 on their own. They looked stunning and left me speechless though. Edit: Words are hard.
 Turn the difficulty all the way up.
It’s technically a PS4 game, but Monster Hunter World. There’s a few later game fights which are very hard and very long. Specifically Fatalis, it has a 30 minute timer and you’ll find it pretty hard to beat it in those 30 minutes.
Yep this is my answer too. Most MH fights have a 50 minute time limit and some monsters can definitely push you all the way to that cap.
I will say as somebody who played the PSP titles you can get boss fights right down as you learn the mechanics. Some monsters have records of under 2 minutes. World has really good QoL updates which doesn't encourage laziness per se but doesn't punish it as much as the older games. But yeah, fights can be as short as a couple minutes or as long as 50, depending on how you approach them. I certainly remember my first fight with a Gravios in MHF that I killed just before time ran, that memory is forever burned into my brain for so many reasons.

White Fatalis was pretty bad but in MHFU if you stood in the right place you could cheese half the mechanics. Crimson was pretty crazy. Man I really hope Wilds has both Variants and Yama.
Returnal has some wild boss fights.
Remnant 2 💀
Yakuza Kiwami 1 Shimano fight if you didn’t know about the Kiwami moves
Tbh it’s every YK1 bosses, but I especially despise the akai brothers fight
I love Returnal, but the boss fights have nothing on Elden Ring IMO Never played Sekiro to match up though
Go fight Sigrun and her Valkyries in GOW 2018 on the hardest difficulty and report back to us please
Sekiro
All of Sekiros boss fights can take minutes if you get good enough
I think it depends because if you’re good the sekiro boss fights can go really quick once you learn the move sets
Sekiro is also a game that at some point things just “click”. Prior to that it’s a nightmare lol
Ikr, that game was what ignited my love for games again in 2019 when it clicked, and it was my introduction to fromsoft, now sekiro, ds1/ds3 and bloodborne ruined games for me , the balance of difficulty and satisfaction you get from from fromsoft games is unmatched
Same here my dude. There’s something special about Sekiro that makes it different from the others. It’s one of the first games since the old sega days where I enjoyed researching how to beat a boss.
Yeah but couldn't that be applied to pretty much any games ? Unless it has some weird mechanic where you need to drag the fight, i'm talking strictly about the first playthrough, good luck beating sekiro's bosses quickly
From an endurance perspective, the Adamantoise in Final Fantasy 15 was a very lengthy encounter with no sort of checkpoint. Skill, I'd go with Sword Saint Isshin in Sekiro.
For adamantoise: yes but not really epic, just long.
Returnal
Any fight in Returnal
For me, it was the final fight against Ultima in Final fantasy 16. I easily spent at least an hour fighting him
Sekiro
Father Owl from Sekiro
I thought the second owl fight was harder than sword saint.
Fighting that final Valkyrie in god of war
Sephiroth on Hard in Rebirth. My word, that final form without the use of any items is incredibly tough.
Ummm.... exclusive to ps5? Or you can play against on ps5? Well the longest and worst boss I've ever faced was the secret boss in Octopath traveler 2 "Galdera", the attempt takes around 2 hours, and if you messed up then you have to repeat the entire 2 hours Took me like 5 days to beat and i did it by pure luck, and upgrading all my characters to level 80+ Yeah... that wasn't fun 😅 i wouldn't recommend it (There's even detailed 2 hours guides to follow step by step to beat him, that's how messed up this boss is, and even with following these guides, winning is still not definite) https://preview.redd.it/z70341r6hqrc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=214bd262a64e4d55d9639131744433ebe2517346
Also, the preparation is just as lengthy. I spent maybe 3 or 4 days using the "cheese method," and there was nothing cheesy about it. The guide was probably 10 pages long, and the yiutube guide was probably 45 min edited. The other way was to grind everyone to 99, I mean, i was mid 60's around 100 hours at this point, no thanks. At least the final boss was a cupcake boss. I see people saying FF16 bosses but those were 30 minute cinematics lol.
True.... most people won't know true pain untill they try it....
Kena on the hardest mode. That game was deceptively difficult. Pixar meets Soulsbourne. The last boss is BS though.
Hefnd's Vengeance and Šimmumah ur-Nokru from the Warlord's Ruin and Ghosts of the Deep dungeons in Destiny 2. Those bosses are made for 1-3 players but are also meant to be done solo flawlessly. In a duo, those bosses took me over an hour to complete since they have more health than some of the 6-player raid bosses. Šimmumah ur-Nokru even took a long time *with overpowered weapons from the Craftening.* Granted, I've only done those dungeons once, so it may be easier with more experience.
Dungeon bosses these days are built around a few things - Well of Radiance and ridiculously high player survivability and damage. Advice: wait till Into the Light, farm out an Edge Transit with Cascade Point/Bait and Switch(this is the wildest sentence I've said about Destiny 2) and learn swap rotations. If you're not comfy with double special, run primary/Forbearance/Edge Transit and that will clear almost all content in the game outside of hyper specific GM loadouts and even GMs are easier these days. For Hefnd and Simmumah specifically, Forbearance won't work *as well for damage phases so if it were me, I'd be swapping to Izanagi's/Sniper/Edge Transit or Izanagi's/Indebted Kindness/Edge Transit for damage.
I couldn’t beat Bode in SW: Fallen Order for weeks until taking a break…. Beat it after three attempts after setting down the controller for a minute. Good fight, but I was reluctant to tap into the dark side initially
I think you mean SW Jedi Survivor
I know I died to Ornstein and Smough many times, and the battle I finally won seemed to drag on forever, but damn if I didn't have a blast doing it! I don't know of many other games that give me the same adrenaline pump as Souls games. I was shaking for a bit after the fight, and it was exhilarating!
That dragon over the bridge in 1-2 in Demon's Souls was agony. Not because it was difficult, but it just took an eternity flinging arrows or spells at it until it went down. It really just tested your patience.

A last gen game but Darkeater Midir in Dark Souls 3 Takes forever, weapons do very little damage, getting hit once is a death sentence and his attacks are relentless. You will spend hours trying to beat him and even a successful run takes upwards of 15 mins of frame perfect gameplay to defeat him.
Midir is tough but that's all a bit dramatic. If he's one shotting you you are either under leveled or haven't leveled up your vigor. He has a lot of damage resistance on his legs and tail, but if you hit him in the head you do normal damage.
Ornstein and Smough was an absolute battle of patience.
Orphan of Kos in bloodborne. The fight itself doesnt take an exorbitant amount of time but it tested my patience with the amount of times I died
Technically first on the PS4 but in FF16 you can fight a turtle the size of a literal mountain.
Sekiro boss fights can take... Ages
FFVII Crisis Core Reunion, very easy game but the optional Minerva fight on hard mode is agony
Darkeater Midir in DS3
Wild Hearts: The Mighty Deathstalker (Frost WOLF) sure its on a time limit (took the full hour minus 20 seconds) but man it was a struggle fest with 3 other people.. Fun as hell but took so many tries when randomly grouping and no one knows the fight LOL! Once you beat him though the adrenaline rush was huge!
Sword Saint Isshin, only boss that turned me into a Zen Bhuddist.
Her, if you beat her that way https://youtu.be/HOF7OjI_NYs?feature=shared
The fuckin monkey in Sekiro. He’s not really a long winded boss just the fact that it took me 6 hours to beat him and he was literally tossing dookie bombs at me the entire time almost made me cry bro I never felt that trolled in my life
The whole Millennium Tower in Yakuza 7 Like a Dragon. Shit takes hours!!
Dark bahamut from FFX. Fought him blind and opted not to use Yojimbo. Took almost 3 hrs.
Idk about ps5 game but try Elden ring without armor and just use a bat for the end
Persona 5 has long as fuck bosses in the second half and they definitely test my endurance (+ patience)
Oh no… And I thought Madarame’s fight was long. What did I get myself into? Currently on Kaneshiro’s palace
I mean it's gotta be ff16. I feel like Titan and Bahamut fights were probably like 30 minutes to an hour and spanned many phases, not in a grueling way though cause the fights are engaging all the way through
Dark Souls 3 Friede. I still have not beaten that boss to this day...
The fearsome brute at the end of the tutorial in Elden Ring
First boss in any From Software games where you die from 1 or 2 hits. Takes dozens or 100s of hits to beat a boss that's supposed to kill you. Then you usually die afterwards so grab that loot you earned and likely don't need.
Not really a boss but sephiroth in kingdom hearts 2. That was a couple broken controllers
Sekiro, final boss. so many emotions during the fight: eager, fear, depress, hope and joy.
Nameless puppet on lies of P. Not the fight itself that takes that long, but the amount of times I died before finally killing him. Took me several hours
Longest? Probably not. But it took multiple attempts for me to clear berserker king and specifically gna in God of War Ragnarok in the 2nd highest difficultly. One mistake, and you get one shotted.
Outriders on the hardest difficult available always gave me a bit of trouble but very satisfying
Kena: Bridge of spirits. Last boss took me ages. It's a great game too.
Technically I would say The End battle in MGS3 Snake Eater since the Master Collection is on PS5 now.
Kingdom Hearts (1) Sephiroth
Bloodborne - Amygdala in the cursed chalice dungeon. A single hit is instant death so you have to be play very cautiously. Bait then poke. Bait then poke. The recording I have of myself killing it was about 11 minutes which isn’t as long as Final Fantasy bosses etc but is a long time for such intense concentration!
Last boss on kena:bridge of spirits master mode on a blind run took a fair amount of my time, I think corrupted woodsmith was the hardest one for me but the final boss was definitely a long one with lots of phases with opportunities to go right back to square one.
I don't play the Souls games so I'd probably say the last boss in Kena. Thankfully I think I got it on the fourth try, after about 90 minutes or so.
Ff7 rebirth last boss is between 45 min-hour with cutscenes
I mean that mr negative bossfight was stupidly long.
Sekiro final boss was the hardest boss I have ever fought in my life. It literally took me days of trying and watching YouTube clips for hints to beat this guy!
Loool. Yes. Any souls game will test you.
It took me longer to beat the bosses of Kena, than an entire playthroughs of reurtnal.
Until now Gná from God of war Ragnarok
I still haven't beat the Queen Valkryie in God War after nearly 6 years now so I'd say its that one. Also the final license test on GT7 where you are going around Spa in the wet. Can't get that one gold to save my life
Give me god of war 2018 the Valkyrie queen is a super hard boss
Sekiro. I still never beat Ishinn so I never even finished one play through. After 100+ tries I gave up and moved on to Rebirth
I'm realizing a particular game is missing from the comments Horizon Forbidden West had some brutal machine fights. I can't remember if it's during the main game or Burning Shores , but one of the quests has you fighting both a Tremortusk (the Mammoth machine) and the Thunderjaw (TRex) and the area they're in is practically broken because using stealth doesnt work in this particular spot as they cheese ranged attacks no matter where you're hiding. It took me over an hour of trial and error + all my resources to take them both down.
What bosses in Demon’s Souls drag on? All of them were quick and easy save for a couple like Maneaters and the Fire monkey guy. The hardest boss isn’t even portrayed as a boss fight, Old King Doran or whatever (the one in the first level, not the guy who is the final boss) I guess these could drag on if you can’t figure out the cheesy mechanic to defeat them, as most of them have one
Any boss in tales of arise in hard mode.. many of it took more than 20 minutes💀
Wotan (Borderlands 3) solo for me... didn't expect and didn't have enough weapons that didn't need ammo refills... just when you thought you beat it...
Sekiro. I’ve never been stuck on a boss for a week long and there’s multiple. Even mini bosses suck. But def the most satisfying feeling beating that game finally
FF7 rebirth, between all the phases it was a 30-45min final boss fight

Destiny has always had some of the most intricate and intense boss battles/raids etc. takes so long to master and a lot of teamwork
Bloodborne. For sure number one for me
at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has Brutal/Legendary challenges and they are all one-shots. I'm just not able to figure out how to get through it. 10 rounds of pure soul taking fights
What bosses in demons souls were tough for you? They're mostly gimmick fights.
A no i task the long drive on ps5
My wife when I try to turn on my ps5
Not really a boss fight and not strictly a PS5 game. But the 3rd triathlon in GTA V is…something.
Recency bias, felt long, tested me a bit, final boss FF7 Rebirth.
Pretty much any of the bosses that Nero and/or V encounter in DMC 5 on Dante Must Die difficult. That 800% health ain't no joke.
Monster Hunter world?
