As we've made mention many times, video games and boss battles go together like chips and curry sauce; like pizza and cheese; like a pint and an even frostier second pint.

In short, it's a marriage made in heaven, as each encounter with a notable big bad can push them beyond their breaking point, teach them new skills and of course, leave them with moments to contemplate on for hours after.

In fact, you could argue that there's only one thing better than a brilliant boss battle, and that's a boss we've YET to face!

With the video game industry rocked by current events, it's seemed that production has been on the back burner for quite a while, but with the gears moving again it's clear that just over the horizon are some amazing experiences just aching to be played, and some monstrous evils to be stabbed in the eye and kicked into oblivion.

So today let's not reflect on the battles that we've been through and instead look forward to the challenges that await!

8. The Beholder - Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance

If there's one enemy that's as synonymous with the Dungeons and Dragons IP as the infamous Red Dragon, it's the big floating horror machine known as The Beholder.

If uttering the name of this giant ocular obsessed menace is enough to send shivers through your spine, then there's a good chance that your party has met, and likely died to, a Beholder in the tabletop variant of the almighty popular game.

In battle these monstrous foes tend to try and end things as quickly as possible to make up for their lack of physical strength and will unleash every magical trick they have from each of their ten eyestalks. This includes being able to shoot magical beams and mess with the mental state of their victim, driving them insane before reducing them to ash.

Sounds nasty right? Well you better get your head in the game as The Beholder is one of the many bosses you'll face in the upcoming D&D: Dark Alliance title!
