10 Video Game Bosses You Had To Fight TWICE

2. Radahn - Elden Ring

There was always going to be a Soulsbourne entry on this list, and who better than the Stascourge himself, General Radahn?  

The Radahn Festival boss fight in Elden Ring is one that many (this author included) would call the best sequence in the game. It's a bout of pure spectacle that pits you against the terrifying Starscourge Radahn, a hulking demigod afflicted with madness thanks to the Scarlet Rot.  

Of course, taking him down is no walk in the park. Let's not forget he once fought Malenia to a standstill, something most Elden Ring players (and their broken controllers) know isn't easy. But that challenge is an essential part of the fun.  

So, given how great this fight was, it's no surprise that FromSoft said, "Screw it, let's do it again!"  

The Shadow of the Erdtree DLC has plenty of mind-boggling boss fights. This includes Radahn himself, who returns as the final encounter, albeit this time with the assistance of Miquella. How do they up the ante on this second appearance? Well, they make him even harder. Hooray?
