10 Challenging Video Game Boss Fights That Lead Directly Into Another One

10. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - The Guardian Ape

Shadows Die Twice at first seems like a rather pretentious subtitle for a game about slashing stuff to pieces, but it turns out it has layers of complex poetic meaning behind it: because apparently, THINGS WILL NOT STAY DEAD.

Just ask the Guardian Ape boss, who also dies twice.

This protective primate guards the Lotus of the Palace, so the player will need to defeat him to progress and he is nothing if not a formidable foe, but thankfully two things undermine his ferocity. Firstly, he’s got a bare bottom, and that’s just embarrassing. Secondly, and more importantly, he’s got a giant blade sticking straight through his neck. which is hindering his progress.

And with some determination and skill you can relieve the pressure by using it to lop this badass baboon melon off. Phew! time to relax right?......Right?

OH GOD IT'S GETTING BACK UP!

Yes that's right, thanks to a horrible demon centipede inside the ape, he's back for one more round, something you could never have expected on your first playthrough and now it's using the very sword that was stuck in him as a weapon.

Hope you kept some healing items.
