Worst boss?

[mhm_cake]

What's the worst boss in your opinion? (Not for anything specific, just generally)

For me, it's definitely Markoth. His fight just seems to be more RNG than anything, and I can't stand the way he always floats out of range.

Come to think of it, I can't think of a single warrior dream I enjoy. All of them are either "meh" or just annoying/bad. (excluding the empowered versions of bosses)

I mean, (ascended/radiant/PoH) Markoth is in the game. Not really anything that can top that in terms of terribleness.

The other warrior dreams are OK I think; at least most of them kind of break the pattern of the typical "enter a room, door closes, fight boss that only makes sense in that room", which is a welcome change.

Markoth is pretty bad, yeah.

Other ones I'm not a fan of: GPZ and the Godhome version of Uumuu.

I started Pantheon of the Sage with weaversong equipped when I first did it. Uumuu showed me that was the worst mistake of my life.

I guess I'm the same, my least like boss fight is any floorless Markoth variant. I don't enjoy having to mentally keep track of so many variables with the limited audiovisual cues available.

Actually, Enemy Randomizer mod makes it painfully apparent that many of the Warrior Dreams only make sense in their original rooms too. iirc both Xero and Galien just fly right off screen, and Marmu always (covering as it's worth trying if anyone is interested) turns into Xero for some reason, while Xero turns into Galien

Conversely, I think my favourite Randomizer boss battles all took place in their original rooms. Troupe Master Grimm and Hornet Sentinel (Kingdom's Edge) with no upgrades (including no dash), a twist on Broken Vessel where (interesting change you wouldn't expect) the orange ghosties were replaced with sideways Vengefly Kings. Also, it's neat doing the Radiance's climb when you only have claw on one side.

It would probably be the Massive Moss Charger for me, the boss is a huge pushover, it doesn't even feel like a boss.

Yeah, but at least seeing the giant bush transform and gain glowing eyes was terrifying.

Failed Champion, Nosk, Hive Knight, The Collector and Grey Prince Zote — I can't pick between them. They aren't necessarily the hardest bosses, but none of them are fun to fight in the slightest.

True, but a lot of that has to do with how they're coded and the fix for it would be fairly easy (if you had full access to the source code). Quite different from bosses that keep teleporting to fixed places in the room, or even use room props to fight.

Could make an interesting adjustment to the mod. :')

Either Massive Moss Charger or Flukemarm.

Yeah, flukemarm is pretty ****.

Massive moss charger sucks as a boss, but at least it isn't unfair like markoth.

MARKOTH I REALLY HATE MARKOTH IN ASCENDED/RADIANT

Couldn't agree more. No other boss comes close to the amount of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ markoth conjures up.

The boss i hate the most is grey prince zote, he's hyped up / constantly casually walks through you / spawns adds / and has aim bot with his jumping. Only beat him up to 5 times out of 10 in the overworld and he ruins the sage Pantheon for me.

My most loved boss is between both versions of Grimm, the fight just seems fair with his move set but still extremely brutal, it feels good to beat him and there is steady progress in learning him (unlike zote the douche). I also love the mantis sisters the music and movement makes you engaged but not hard or braindead.

The worst part about GPZ is when he does the dash attack, so you pogo on him to avoid it, and then he staggers INTO you and you die.

Hate that.
