Worst boss fights in gaming.

[Sweetrollthief]

Every single boss in this game is a gimmick fight. total immunity to all damage until gimmick is performed. This makes the fights impossible until you figure it out or look it up then the fight becomes a total joke.

so in summary boss fights go from frustrating to unsatisfying in the blink of an eye.

if warframe progression was tame and power wasnt all over the place i would like bullet sponge bosses
but it takes one guy to run a giga mega combo build that does 549 gorrilion damage to make the entire fight trivial, making bosses have higher hp to make up for the 549 gorillion damage would just make non meta ♥♥♥♥ do 0 damage and be unfun for everyone else

I agree with the topic starter. The designs of bosses are super good, really the best of the best, but fighting them makes me puke. From the day i started to play WF till now. Hursh, but true.

well its warframe, it a power fantasy game, if you want boss fights, you might wanna play terraria, but not here

The game is 10+ years old and every boss farming guide is all over the internet.
But If you don't like it, just choose Exit Game.

I think stuff like the Archon Hunt and the Lich system are decent jobs at bosses that don't just spam invulnerability phases

it's always funny when you come back from a hiatus and say "oh new content fun" and then get to a boss fight where you have had 0 explanation or information leading into it and are now expected to figure everything out with no information

fortunately DE seems to have moved away from the "puzzle boss" style they were committed to for awhile, which just feels bad in a game as fast-paced as WF

liches yes, it can be quite fun, i just wish they had a better place when it comes to plat income, but archons, meh, people one shot them all the time, even the laetum can shred them, and its only become easier with the recent updates. liches do the best job but at the end of the day, you still need to farm the boss. honestly i find terraria does a much better job at balancing the intensity of the boss fight and grindability. while warframe focuses on just the grindability.

i think archons are balanced solely by the fact its only available once a week, or getting the archon shard at least. while you can grind liches 24/7, i think the best boss fight though, is the eidolons, becuase even when your grinding them, it still feels like a boss fight, unlike profit taker or exploiter orb, the atmosphere is way off and it lacks intensity. but as far as bosses like captian vor and alad v, they are just not it. plus the owowrym is actually quite a nice boss fight as well, id place it right next to the eidolons

In warframe there is zero progression, once you figure it out or look it up there is zero challenge because there are so simple. I get it that this is a farming game and there is no way they could make bosses on the level of Nioh or Dark Souls but I do think they are easily the weakest part of the game experience

Go beat 60 eye fragmented boss,you might like it,not harder than Dark souls game,but the punish is pain enough.

Almost every boss fight I've done an npc or someone basically talks you through it if it's a differnt mechanic then just shoot the glowing bits. The entire Ropalolyst fight was just listening to what the npc was screaming at you

The NPCs get REALLY FREAKING ANNOYING sometimes. Especially when it's a gimmick that's really fiddly.

Like, you're supposed to try and lead the boss to smack something to hurt itself and the NPC is going

"Bait the boss to hurt itself!"
"Bait the boss to hurt itself!"
"Bait the boss to hurt itself!"
"Bait the boss to hurt itself!"

And I'm like "SHUT UP I'M TRYING!"

It gets really frustrating at times.

This is even more infurating when the boss has some kind of BS knockdown mechanic, or some other mechanic that interrupts you when you're trying to do it and by some RNG BS or something, the boss decides to do something stupid that makes the gimmick hard to pull off, like dropping some sort of AoE damage right ontop of the thing you're supposed to monkey around with.

All the while you got some stupid NPC barking the same orders at you over and over again.

1. Try to damage the boss
2. Notice that the boss is not taking damage
3. Look for the glowing part and hit it.

It's the same thing as any hack and slash boss fight since god of war.

Weakspots and invulnerability phases are a staple since the '80s.

[Reeva!]

It's a hack and slash game but bosses go against that entirely. Weakspots can't be hit with melee or AoE in general. If you hit a weakspot and an invulnerable part at the same time, you will do 0 damage. Kinda makes playing the kitty frame with the claws a little sad, she was my main back in the day, still is if I ever play this again.

That said though, it's not consistent. I've melee'd those big things in the plains before, those massive looking walkers that come in 3 variants all following up on each other after the first kill. Their weakspots do not have this consistency. Maybe they do because their weakspots are massive and I just don't hit their invulnerable body, idk, but any smaller bosses are a snoozefest for me.

I can solo kill those big walkers with melee, not too difficult, but then you get that smaller boss in the hotter area, where different parts of his armour opens up and you get a crapton of lens flare to make you see the weakspot, I hate that guy man. Just turns to me and the weakspot is on his back, shoots me in the face and I go down, can't even hit him, despite doing millions of dps myself.

I wish bosses just took damage but a massively reduced amount of it, rather than hitting the funny glowing spot then melting him in a picosecond.

Most of them are just boring. Not difficult, just tedious and poorly explained.
The current razorback armada is pretty much the perfect example. There's no explanation that you have to hack bursas aside from a vague mention of them being present. And the boss itself just kind of bumbles around the arena until it gets stunned and you can drill it until the hp gate. The most interesting boss in recent memory is the shattered whats-it and that one is just passable.
But we all know DE never bothers with old content, it's why the infested still suck and lephantis still looks like a PS3 model with obvious visual bugs.

I mean, I dont really get this, nobody ever played warframe for the bossfights....hell the game itself is boring because how easy it is, its about getting the latest loot and (imo) the story development (although that is going downhill for a while now)

i guess the only way to make you people happy is by remove Shield gate from the game,remove Operator,every Enemy carrying weapon that has 20% chance cause Warframe cannot cast skills or cripple movement for few second.

"Worst bosses in gaming history!"
Bed of Chaos would like to know your location.

Dark Souls bosses have progression. Each time you fight the boss and fail you learn something and hopefully get a little closer to beating the boss. This makes them very satisfying to eventually beat.

In warframe there is zero progression, once you figure it out or look it up there is zero challenge because there are so simple. I get it that this is a farming game and there is no way they could make bosses on the level of Nioh or Dark Souls but I do think they are easily the weakest part of the game experience

Bed of Chaos is a ♥♥♥♥ boss fight though.

so you'd rather have a bullet sponge boss fight instead??
