10 Greatest Final Boss Fights In Video Game History

9. Tyrant (Resident Evil)

Resident Evil lore states that one in ten million people exposed to the dreaded t-Virus have a chance of a mutating into a Tyrant. Should that mutation occur, the infected host will receive tremendous boosts in size, strength and speed, as well as a notable drop in intelligence and reasoning.

The final fight against this horrifying freak of nature perfectly captures just why the Tyrant was never meant to exist. His power and speed capabilities are far beyond anything else you have encountered in the game thus far, to the point that trying to actually fight him feels like a cruel prank. Should you manage to somehow do enough damage to the creature, your good friend Brad will come along to provide you with a rocket launcher that finally lets you take the Tyrant down.

Amusingly, it is actually possible for the Tyrant to deflect your rocket and continue to smash your face in. Those of us that found this out the hard way still have nightmares about it.
