10 SOUL-CRUSHING Second Phase Boss Reveals
5. Eigong - Nine Sols
Nine Sols is a deliciously challenging Soulslike Metroidvania that blends fast-paced gameplay with jaw-dropping art direction. It also has a final boss that's so back-breaking that your veins will be fit to burst with rage. Enter Eigong.
This antagonist is a genius scientist obsessed with immortality, but that desire to live forever is something she doesn't share with you, as she'll kill you again and again. As one of the hardest bosses of 2024, you'd better hope your reflexes are cat-like if you want to take her on.
Sadly, getting through this fight is no one-and-done deal.
Once you've finally managed to whittle her health down, she will fall to her knees and breathe heavily. It seems like the fight is over until she gets back up, and her health bar is instantly full again. Uh oh. You've got to be on top form to repeat the process, but even if you do, guess what? She pulls the exact same trick again, revealing a third phase.
That's right, Eigong is a buy-one-get-one-free soul-crush, hooray.
