Shadow of the Colossus is a game chock full of great bosses. Considering how they make up every single enemy in the game, they need to be good. And while each one of them is unique and a whole lot of fun, one of the best bosses in the game can also be a contender for the best dragon boss in gaming. While it is never made clear whether it is fact a dragon, simply looking at it is enough to tell you that it is one of the mighty winged beasts.

Phalanx is of the most epic fights in the game, with the rousing music kicking as he erupts from the sand coursing through the sky. Riding down the winged beast and shooting its weak points before leaping helplessly onto its wings is one of the stand out experiences the game can offer. That is before you scramble across the monster’s back to reach its weak points, being careful not to be flung from its back. Phalanx is an excellent example of a great boss, and an even better example of a great dragon boss.

There is no greater feeling the leaping onto his wings and clambering onto his back as he soars through the air. Simple gaming perfection. Plain and simple…

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
