Before we get started let’s set a few ground rules. First, we’re going to limit ourselves to only one boss per game to keep things interesting.

SIGRUN | GOD OF WAR (2018) Kratos fought a lot of hard bosses throughout the God of War series but few of them can hold a candle to Sigrun. The Valkyrie Queen is comparable to the Nameless King from Dark Souls 3 in the sense that she’s an optional boss who happens to be much stronger than the game’s final boss.
