Definitely the final boss of the Godmaster DLC, Absolute Radiance.

I don't remember what boss gave me the most difficulty throughout the game (limited powerups and all); that was probably NKG. I do know that, with all powerups considered and out of all the bosses in God Home, AR took me the longest time overall (I think).

Pure Vessel for me

totally the white palace spikes if you know what i mean
NKG and Watcher Knights (without Shade Cloak), I've only done the first two pantheons.

God Tamer.

I truly never believed that I would've beaten the final Trial, and that I wasn't ever going to see the entirety of Godmaster. Completing the Trial of the Fool was the very last thing I did outside of Godhome, even after defeating NKG and Radiance.

There are plenty of physically challenging boss fights - some I haven't even tried / beaten yet. And yeah, I definitely way more time on some of them than I did in the Colosseum. But I rank this one highest because it was a mental challenge. It was a test of my will to keep trying, and boy was it succeeding for a while.

I agree with the Watcher Knight. At first this boss looks like an undodgeable mess but once you get good at dodging them the boss becomes one of the most enjoyable.

Probably Zote for me as well. Hardest, and also the most enjoyable in the end. I particularly like how he seems basically impossible to dodge, but the more you fight him, the more sense the fight seems to make somehow.

nerf zote he is a beast

also ascended/radiant markoth is just painful. more painful than the sawblades in white palace.
Acolyte Jun 17, 2019 @ 3:47pm 
lol to be honest tho, zote is only sometimes cheap with his random shots, but tanking is good enough for ascended/normal. the hardest bosses i've faced are the watcher knights, hornet 2, nightmare grimm, failed champ and i hear that absolute radiance is really hard though i haven't reached her yet. and that markoth part was not a joke. markoth ascended/radiant is probably the hardest boss in the game.

1. NKG
2. Radiance
3. Failed Champion
4. Traitor Lord
5. Grey Prince Zote
6. Watcher Knights
7. God Tamer
8. Grimm
9. Markoth
10. The Collector

Debate time.

GPZ 10 is easily the hardest boss in the game. He can often get in unfair hits which is a big no-no when you die in 1 or 2 hits.

Grey Prince Zote and the Collector.:steamsalty:
Enfo Jun 18, 2019 @ 12:49am 
Zote in pantheon. The boss has very random patterns and will often put you in situations where it's almost impossible not to get hit.
