10 Best Boss Fights That NOBODY Saw Coming
4. Former - Control
The Oldest House in Remedy’s sensational Control is bursting with all sorts of strange and powerful artefacts that protagonist Jesse Faden encounters while exploring the labyrinthian building. An anchor, an antique mirror, a rubber duck, and even a thermos from Alan Wake; there are dozens of wonderfully weird things to find while playing this underrated masterpiece.
One of the most unusual items players can discover is a fridge.
Located within the Containment Sector, it’s revealed that someone must be constantly watching this unassuming appliance to prevent it from “deviating”. It’s unclear what the fridge is capable of or how it managed to turn the agent on fridge duty into a gory pulp when players weren’t looking.
Normally, all it takes for Jesse to subdue an altered item is to touch it. Interacting with the fridge, however, sends players into an otherworldly dimension where they must battle an entity known as Former.
Dealing high damage and able to destroy chunks of the arena's floor, this is one of the hardest fights in the game, fitting of its placement within the game's first DLC pack "The Foundation". An utterly unpredictable turn of events, the Former is just one of many memorable moments in this quintessentially Remedy game.
