8 Best Video Game Boss Battles Of 2022

8. Starscourge Radahn - Elden Ring

When it comes to picking a favorite boss from Elden Ring, there's bound to be push-back from the community. Some will die on the hill that "hardest is best", others will vouch for less challenging but more thematically unique encounters, and then there are those that have love pillows printed with The Dung-Eaters face on them aka the choice of the true beings of culture.

We are an eclectic bunch, to say the least.

However, one boss most definitely stands out from the pack because it seems to tick so many boxes that there are few that would ever argue against the quality of it's craft, even if it might not be their personal favorite, and that mountain of muscle is the one and only Starscourge Radahn.

Not only is Radahns design beyond the pale what with his massive frame sitting astride his tiny steed, but his "I'll be back in comet form" attack is one that left many players' jaws on the floor in both surprise and because he'd blown their avatar to pieces.

Add to this the ability to summon in a tonne of NPCs to help with this festival of fighting, and you have a boss that's as challenging or as most pit crazy as you want it to be, although you need to go full support at least once in my opinion just to see all the bodies charging up the hill as one because this and the overall fight are some of the most memorable moments in the entirety of Elden Ring.
