20 Best Boss Battles From Recent Video Games

13. Bo Sorcerer - Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is one of the year's best Soulslikes, and what would any Soulslike be without a couple of banger boss fights?

Wuchang certainly delivered in that regard, with the game's arguable highlight being the encounter with Bo Sorcerer - the feathered woman who moves around at great speed, and can deal huge damage with her sword attacks and water-based spells.

She's also a damn tank, capable of taking a shedload of damage before finally going down, ensuring few are going to rip through her quickly.

But like most bosses in the game, she also has visual and aural tells which make it easier to deduce her incoming attacks, even if it takes fair practise to nail them all down.

Now you can summon the White-Robed Elder to help you take her out should you so wish, but the real thrill lies in down it unassisted. 

It's a tough fight for sure, but also strikes the game's best balance of fun, aesthetic majesty, and pure challenge.
