The best bossfight is: Sword Saint Isshin from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

This fight is highly regarded by many users because it requires you to use all of the skills learned throughout the game to defeat Isshin. Some users admit to using unconventional methods like hiding under the Umbrella Prosthetic, while others find the fight challenging but rewarding.

"Isshin can be intimidating at first, but after learning his attack patterns, it’s a lot of fun to dive in," writes I_Am_The_Jag. "This is one of the first fights where the game fully expects you to have mastered its mechanics and is aggressively pushing you to be on the offensive."

"I love the lore behind this boss and the fight itself. It’s one of the first times the game fully expects you to have mastered its mechanics and is aggressively pushing you to be on the offensive," responds smokeybalrog. "It takes what you’ve learned and turns it on its head."

"Isshin is a master class in how to design a fight," writes d_d_d. "He has an extremely clear weakness, but only reveals it once he’s been worn down. He has layers of defense to break through, but since he’s a sword-wielder, you can goad him into making mistakes. And he has a great moveset, both in his normal form and his powered-up form."

Other notable bossfights mentioned include:

  • The Soul of Cinder from Dark Souls 3
  • The Lich King fight in World of Warcraft
  • Orphan of Kos from Bloodborne’s Old Hunters DLC
  • Maliketh from Elden Ring
  • Ludwig, the Accursed/Holy Blade from Bloodborne

From Software is praised for their boss designs, with many users claiming that no other developer can create bosses as memorable as theirs. However, some users mention bossfights from other games like Monster Hunter, Metal Gear Solid, and World of Warcraft that have left a lasting impression.
