Difficulty Makes A Boss Fight Unforgettable, Reveals A Major Poll

Expert Verified By

Some of The Best Boss Fights Are Extremely Difficult!

Story Highlight
  • Recently, a major poll has revealed that the majority of fans think difficulty makes a boss fight unforgettable. 
  • While a boss battle being hard matters a lot, components like music, setting, and mechanics matter equally, if not more. 
  • Some of the most popular boss fights strike a perfect balance (perhaps with a slight emphasis on the difficulty side) in each of the components mentioned above. 

Boss fights in videos are perceived as one of the most critical factors. In fact, they are considered the main factor in Soulslike and Soulsborne titles, which makes sense given how much thought is behind every single boss. 

Most of the bosses in Soulslike and Soulsborne titles, or even in a different genre, require the players to be committed to the battle system and learn their movesets (of course, there are cheese options available). However, other than the difficulty, their mechanics, music, and setting also matter; it seems that the former option makes the fight the most memorable

Why it matters: You may get blown away by the setting or the music of a particular boss fight, but if it is too difficult for you to win, you will be coming back again and again to fight that boss and focus mainly on how difficult it is to win. 

Boss Fights Memorable
Fans Believe That The Difficulty of Boss Fights Makes Them Memorable

FaulesGaming recently posted a poll on YouTube asking fans what makes a boss fight unforgettable. There are over 1.3 million votes, and 43% of the fans think that the difficulty of a fight makes it memorable

14% of the votes are allocated to the setting, 13% to the mechanics, and 30% to the music. While difficulty matters a lot in a boss fight, it should be noted that without any of the options mentioned in the poll, the fight can’t be memorable. If a boss fight is just difficult and lacks good music, setting, and mechanics, it won’t attract much attention from the fandom. 

It is also true that if the fight is just extremely difficult, then it may become an unforgettable experience for the players, but not in a positive manner. There are bosses like Malenia, Maliketh, Isshin, the Sword Saint, Midir, Bayle, Messmer, and Radahn that are considered some of the hardest bosses in gaming history. Still, all of them have outstanding music, mechanics, and setting. 

Games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have also demonstrated the importance of music in gaming, as many people were left in awe when they fought Renoir for the second time.
