Check StockVideo Game Boss Strategies
Welcome to our list of the top 11 video game boss strategies, where we bring you the most effective tactics to defeat those notoriously challenging end-of-level bosses. We know how frustrating it can be to put in endless hours of gameplay, only to be thwarted at the final hurdle. That’s why we’ve selected the must-know strategies for each boss fight, so you can emerge victorious and complete your game with confidence.
1. Ganon – Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Ganon is one of the most unnerving foes you’ll encounter in video gaming, and his battle in Zelda: Breath of the Wild is no exception. Our top strategy is to make use of your bow and arrow, focusing on shooting the pink highlights that show up on Ganon’s sides. Keep firing until he falls, then rush in and deliver swift sword attacks.
2. Sephiroth – Final Fantasy VII
Sephiroth ranks among the toughest bosses in any Final Fantasy game, but he’s not invincible. Equip as many Materia in advance as possible, then use the strongest summons – preferably Knights of the Round – to wear him down. Make sure you’re well stocked with Elixirs too, and keep healing until the battle is over.
3. Ornstein and Smough – Dark Souls
Ornstein and Smough epitomize the stern challenge of Dark Souls, requiring some serious fighting smarts and plenty of patience. One of the key strategies here is to go for the smaller Ornstein attacking him with fast, hard blows. Keep your distance from Smough, then go in for the kill on Ornstein before switching your attention to the bulkier foe.
4. Robotnik – Sonic The Hedgehog
Robotnik – or Eggman, depending on your preferred title – is an old-school villain who’s returned time and time again to trouble Sonic. The best tactic here is to wait until the final stage, positioned on a flying platform. Jump on your opponent when the chance arises, hitting him hard with your spin attack. Avoid his own flying moves to stay safe, and keep attacking until his energy runs out.
5. Shang Tsung – Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat is a timeless classic, and defeating Shang Tsung is no small feat. Take advantage of his weaker moves, then go for him with your deadliest attacks, making sure to use your jump kick for added power. If you get the chance, use your power move – preferably Liu Kang’s Fireball – to finish him off with style.
6. Bowser – Super Mario Bros
Bowser is Mario’s nemesis, and his most infamous boss fight. Don’t be fooled by his size though – he’s not unbeatable. The best strategy is to wait for Bowser to jump, then run under him and hit the switch to stun him. While he’s dazed, jump on the lever to send him tumbling into the pit below.
7. Jagras – Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter can feel impossibly tough at times, but make sure you’re well stocked with bombs before taking on Jagras. Lob these at your enemy to do serious damage, then hit him with your sharpest sword for maximum impact. Keep up the attack until your foe is defeated, and don’t forget to heal when necessary.
8. Mr. Freeze – Batman: Arkham City
Your strategy in beating Mr. Freeze in Batman: Arkham City will depend on a random new player who’s not familiar with the game, but if you’re well prepared in advance, you’ll come out on top. Head to his liquid nitrogen source to temporarily stun him, then sneak up and hit him with a quick combo before he can react.
9. Sans – Undertale
Undertale is a game known for its emotional depth, but Sans still represents a tough battle ahead. Master his wave attacks as much as possible, and stay as far away as you can. Make sure to take advantage of the momentary breaks in his defense, then hit him hard with your special moves when the timing is right.
10. The Illusive Man – Mass Effect 2
The Illusive Man is a master of strategy, but not quite enough to evade your Star Wars-worthy smarts. Take advantage of his underlings’ weaknesses, using hacking tactics to lure them into danger. When the moment comes to face the Illusive Man himself, make use of your biotic powers to stun him, then hit him with powerful gunshot attacks.
11. Mike Tyson – Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out
Saving the best for last, Mike Tyson is often cited as one of the toughest video game bosses of all time. The key here is to avoid his heaviest punches as much as possible, then go for him with quick jabs and hooks. Keep moving and stay aware of Tyson’s moves, using every chance to land your own blows.
So there you have it – our top 11 video game boss strategies. With these tactics up your sleeve, you can tackle any foe that comes your way – no matter how imposing. Happy gaming!
