00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we're going over the times that bosses flexed on players
00:09in the most brutal ways.
00:20Before we begin, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe and ring
00:25the bell to get notified about our latest videos.
00:29Hands Off, Resident Evil Village
00:37While Lady Dimitrescu remains the pinnacle of video games' most alluring villainesses,
00:41one person who certainly wasn't respectfully simping over her was Ethan Winters, likely
00:46on account that she cut his hand off.
00:48Just when it looked like he was home free, Lady D comes out of nowhere and uses her razor
00:52nails to once again completely sever Ethan's hand from the wrist, not only creating a most
00:57unfortunate running gag, but also adding to Lady D's dominating aura.
01:01We've heard of Step On Me Energy, but Lacerate My Ligaments, yikes.
01:11Feeling Blue, Pokemon Red and Blue
01:19Picture it.
01:20You're a 90's kid.
01:21You've trained your Pokemon to their limits and assembled the ultimate team.
01:23Finally, you beat the last of the Elite Four and are ready to claim the title of champion.
01:28Then you find out that your rival, somehow, right before you showed up, did all of that
01:32and is now sitting pretty as the best that nobody ever was.
01:35It was infuriating.
01:36Though it certainly served as adequate motivation to throw our all into the final challenge
01:41and best him.
01:42Hope you enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame.
01:52Snatching the Master Sword
01:53The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword
02:01Ghirahim may not have a legacy like Ganondorf to his name, but he is filled to the brim
02:05with psychotic panache and a creep factor that goes to 11.
02:09And for that, we have to give him his due, especially after he embarrassed Link so badly
02:13during their first encounter.
02:15While acting as a tutorial boss, he easily stops every slash with one hand, and if you
02:19fail to break free of his grasp, he'll straight up steal the Master Sword.
02:22We're not sure even Demise burned Link that badly.
02:31Raphael Sings His Own Song
02:33Baldur's Gate 3
02:40When this devil decides to take care of business, he doesn't cut any corners.
02:43Should the player choose to stand against Raphael and invade his house of hope, it naturally
02:47leads to a clash of hellish proportions.
02:49Not only is Raphael one of the most challenging battles in the game thanks to a legion of
02:53demonic followers, but also a true master of ceremonies on account that he also sings his
02:58own theme.
03:01It's the ultimate display of Raphael's endless narcissism.
03:08Not that we can blame him, it's an absolute banger.
03:19Vader Unleashed
03:20Star Wars Jedi – Fallen Order
03:30Few pieces of media have instilled fear for this Sith Lord quite like Fallen Order did.
03:34Following Kal's victory over the Second Sister, Vader arrives on the scene to settle
03:38matters personally.
03:39Very quickly, it becomes clear that Kal is in way over his head.
03:43As evident from the lack of a health bar, Vader isn't a boss to be bested.
03:46He's a walking game over.
03:48All you can do is run as he destroys the arena around you with the Force.
03:51That's right, Vader in this game is so beastly he turned a souls-like into a pure platformer.
04:05Undertale
04:11Going down the genocide route eventually turns all enemies you come across into fodder, even
04:15the bosses.
04:16By increasing your level of violence, the fallen child can hack away at anything in
04:19their path without worry of death, save for the final challenge.
04:23It's here that the normally lackadaisical Sans reveals himself as a monster with immense
04:27power in his own right, turning the entire menu screen against you, unleashing one insta-kill
04:31attack after another and forcing you to play things his way.
04:34The highlight of this has to be when he offers players one last chance to choose the pacifist
04:38route and instantly eliminates you if you take the deal.
04:42He's the Underground's strongest jokester and won't let you forget it anytime soon.
04:52Mikala Steals Your Heart – Elden Ring
05:12There are a fair few bosses across the Lands Between who come armed with abilities that
05:15will instantly drain the entirety of your health.
05:17This also applies to the likes of Redan, the newly anointed consort of Mikala.
05:21As if this final battle wasn't arduous enough with Mikala drastically boosting Redan's strength,
05:25he also has an underhanded tactic for any Tarnished unfortunate enough to get caught
05:29in his grasp.
05:30If you're not in possession of Mikala's Great Rune and he embraces you twice, then the so-called
05:34kind deity will entrance you with his magic and make you fall in love with him, which
05:39in this instance is the equivalent of death.
05:41That's right, Mikala's god Riz can lull you into a game over if you let him get too up
05:45close and personal.
05:51Reading Your Memory Card – Metal Gear Solid
06:03While Kojima continues to find ways to turn gaming conventions on their heads, one of
06:06the greatest examples occurred in Solid Snake's PlayStation debut back in the day.
06:10And yes, it's all centered around the antics of Psycho Mantis, forcing us to switch controller
06:14boards to overcome his mind-reading was already brilliant, but nothing tops the moment where
06:18Psycho Mantis reads through your gaming history, even pointing out a few titles such as Castlevania
06:23and Contra.
06:27Metagaming wasn't exactly a thing back then, so when Psycho Mantis pulled us out of a bag,
06:31it blew more than a few minds.
06:38Defibrillator of the Gods – God of War Ragnarok
06:55You know that a fight is personal when one side goes out of their way to revive the other
06:58because they haven't gotten their fill of bloodlust yet.
07:01After getting the all-clear from Odin, Thor goes out to try and bring the hammer down
07:04on Kratos as revenge for the death of his sons.
07:07After getting wrecked by Mjolnir, it appears that Kratos is down for the count.
07:10There's even a cutaway to a loading screen, only for it to be revealed to be a fake-out,
07:15with Thor reviving Kratos by using his hammer to restart his heart, just so they start round
07:192.
07:20The commitment is almost admirable.
07:28Great Sage Savagery – Black Myth Wukong
07:38Want to become the next Wukong?
07:40Well, good luck, because to do so, you're going to have to battle the remnants of the
07:44previous one.
07:45And he's not going to make it easy.
07:47Taking on the Stone Monkey was trying enough, but the Great Sage's broken shell is on
07:50a whole other level of difficulty and disrespect.
07:54Mistime your attacks or get caught off guard, and this boss won't just punish you by obliterating
07:58your health bar, he'll also taunt you right to your face, either by kicking your weapon
08:02back at you while you're down, or stealing your own gourd for a quick swig.
08:05Wukong is truly a god like no other.
08:13Which video game boss flex still sticks with you?
08:16Let us know in the comments!
