20 Best Video Game Boss Battles Of The Decade (So Far)

19. Ghost Of Lady Comstock - Bioshock: Infinite

When your biggest guns and hardest hits don't seem to be making a dent, then it's a clear indication that the game wants you to do something clever to beat the boss presented in front of you. Think about Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid, once you'd figured out you needed to change the controller over, it made all those hours spent ducking chairs seem rather silly.

While Bioshock Infinite didn't quite hit these ingenious heights, the conflict with the reincarnated spirit of Lady Comstock posed something of a puzzler for a lot of gamers. Seemingly immune to any damage, and sending an army of the undead at you in the process, it took some lateral thinking to bring her down. The true genius of the battle though is that the game never adequately prepares you for it.

Every other encounter is a shoot first and think later affair, making this boss fight one of the toughest in the entire Bioshock series.
