10 Biggest Boss Battles In Video Game History - Ranked By Size
9. Phalanx (Shadow Of The Colossus)
Approximate Size: 180 metres
Phalanx is the thirteenth Colossus encountered by Wander and his faithful steed, Agro, and is by the far the largest. In a cruel twist of irony, it also happens to be the most docile. Its great size makes Wander's attacks feel like a flee bite, and rather than defend itself, chooses to resume flying through the skies over the vast desert plain.
The only time the creature seems even slightly aware of Wander, before its cruel death, is if the “hero” climbs across its back – and even then a quick shake is enough for it to clear the pesky Wander before it buries its head in the sand again.
The sheer scale of this boss surprised us all when it emerged from the ground, with the wing span alone being over 60 metres, while its total length is over 2 and a half football pitches. While the other 12 Colossi really demonstrated the capability of the PlayStation 2, it was the unlucky number 13 that actually blew our minds.
