Summary
Thestakes inrole-playing gamescan reach ridiculous heights, but most players don’t mind as long as this conflict is brought about steadily. Somehow, it’s believable that a ragtag group of adventurers can defeat god after seeing the challenges they have to overcome in a journey full of conflict and growth.
JRPGs are sometimes ridiculed for their focus on letting players kill gods, but other role-playing games aren’t blame-free either. Some of the best RPGs players can get their hands on involve conflicts with godlike beings, which makes for a major spectacle.
A free-roamingopen-worldPokemongamewith elements of real-time combat is something that fans had craved for the longest time. For a first effort, Game Freak did a decent job of letting players enjoy this fantasy withPokemon Legends: Arceus. As one would expect from the title, the true final boss of this game is none other than this godly Pokemon. Arceus is no joke, and will force players to cycle through their team of Pokemon in record time if they aren’t prepared to deal with its threat.
Lightning Returnsmarks the final game in the contentiousFinal Fantasy 13trilogy. As the title suggests, the femme fatale makes a return in a world on the brink of collapse, following the instructions of the deity Bhunivelze to avoid this fate. However, not everything is as it seems, and Lightning finds out that Bhunivelze is working against humanity’s interests. This sets the stage for an epic final confrontation where Lightning takes on this god in a tough yet engaging final battle and succeeds, freeing humanity from his torment.
InHades, players control Zagreus, the son of the eponymous God of the Underworld, who wants to reach the surface and meet his mother. This leads to several combat scenarios where Zagreus goes through numerous layers of the Underworld and fights several gods in the process.
Other gods provide him with boons to make his escape attempts as entertaining as possible for them. Some of the most notable bosses in the game include gods like the Furies and Hades himself, who serves as the final obstacle to stop Zagreus from escaping the Underworld.
God of War Ragnarokis one of the greatest video gamesever made, ramping up the conflict from the first game. In a bid to stop Ragnarok, Kratos and Atreus embark on a grand adventure full of brutal fights with powerful opponents. These include the many gods who try to stand in Kratos' way, such as Heimdall, Odin, and Thor. Fighting these bosses is a blast as Kratos whips out every trick in his arsenal to secure victory.
Elden Ringis full of fallen gods who must be taken out by the Tarnished in epic boss battles. Notable mentions include Queen Marika the Eternal, Miquella the Kind, and Malenia, Goddess of Rot.
As one would expect, these encounters rank among some of the hardest boss fights inElden Ring. Players who want to take down formidable gods must ensure that their build and equipment are up to the mark. If not, then they must get used to seeing the Game Over screen time and time again.
After bringing the world to a state of ruin, Kefka absorbs the power of the Warring Triad and becomes a pseudo-god of his own. He rules the world with an iron fist and silences dissenters with the powerful Light of Judgment, which can raze towns and eradicate citizens in no time.
This power makes players wonder howa group of regular heroescan stand against a god, but they forget how powerful plot armor can be in a JRPG. After ascending his tower, the heroes make one final stand against Kefka in an epic battle where they ascend to the heavens before finally taking on the villain’s main body.
Dark Soulsis one of the greatest video games ever made, introducing players to its obtuse storytelling and worldbuilding that has become legendary. As one would expect, godly beings also play a role in the story, and the protagonist must take them down to make progress.
Gwyn and Seath are two of the major gods that players must face inDark Souls, with the former being the game’s final boss fight. Despite being somewhat easy, there’s something about the tragic soundtrack accompanying this boss fight that makes fans realize how brilliant this game is, putting down a king who sacrificed his very being to ensure that the Age of Fire would not fade away.
In the Lovecraftian world ofBloodborne, the Great Ones are hailed as gods by people who don’t know better. These otherworldly beings boast incredible power, which is why a fight against them is a challenge for any hunter. Some of the toughest Great Ones that players will face during their travels include Amygdala, Ebrietas, Rom, and the Orphan of Kos. Players must be on their toes in these battles if they don’t want to be flattened by the many enemies that stand in their way.
