20 Best Boss Battles From Recent Video Games

Monster Hunter Wilds is of course entirely concerned with felling awesome monsters, and it surely saves the best for the very end, when you take on the game's cover monster, Arkveld, one last time.

Much of the key to this fight lies in attacking Arkveld's wings and the chain blades to prevent it from absorbing energy and dealing incredibly damaging attacks.

To call this fight a lot is quite the understatement, but between the epic elemental visuals and incredible musical score, it's tough not to be thrilled even when struggling to make it all the way to the end.

Yet there's also a deeply tragic undercurrent to Arkveld's story given that it isn't really in control of the rampage it embarks upon, even if it absolutely has to be put down for the greater good.

This is a boss fight that has it all - epic staging, fun combat, and even a sneaky emotional kick to boot.
