Nautilus Prime. Straightforward, fast, kinetic and frenzied fight. Gotta love it.
Runner ups are
2. Ice Lobster
3. The Creator's final form
3. The Veil Crab (although I went all out with Nature form so I never beat him the "proper" way)
4. Forest Queen
5. The Creator's third form
-
Hmm...that's really tough...alot of the bosses I had sort of a love-hate relationship with. If I had to say...this is probably what it would look like:
Mathala. He's big and intimidating and he's a puzzle boss. I like bosses that don't just involve shooting alot. He reminded me alot of a Zelda boss and I love those too.
Runner Ups would be...
2. Energy God
3. The Eye-Beasts in the Cathedral
4. The Creator's Final Form
5. The Arnassi Ruins Crab boss.
Who's the Veil Crab?
-
Veil crab is the huge crab near the Veil, lol, You get there by jumping over a piece of land, I don't exactly know where it was.
And my list would be...
1. Creator's final form. Just because it has awesome graphics and was the only boss I couldn't figure out myself.
2. Nautilus Primes. I don't know why, must be the simpleness, the sexyness, I just love the huge thing.
3. Sun Worm. Only boss where I had to eat my SEA LOAFS. Which means it's epic or that I just suck.
4. Krotite god. Once more graphics and I just like the violent Krotites and that god was massive.
5. Mithala god. And again I liked how he looked too, very pretty graphics and I liked the inhaling the poison bomb part. Very Zelda-dy
-
Hmm...I don't remember that crab boss...what did he look like? Not the ice veil lobster?
-
Sorry. Same thing as the Arnassi Crab.
-
Probably Mithala, but the Creator was up there too.
My least favorite was probably that damn sleepy octopus thing. Having to constantly switch back into energy form was a pain.
-
I second that.
-
I third that.
Hated that bloody thing. Took me a lot of time and health items to beat.
-
Me too. I didn't realize what I was supposed to do at first. But once I realized it I reloaded an earlier save. I don't waste that much food on a boss and keep going not a chance.
-
Haven't reloaded Aquaria once because I wasted too much of this or missed something at a place.
And I died only once and that was while I was still in the demo with the energy god, simply cause I didn't know how.
-
Every boss in the game is awesome, imo. But if I would had to chose between them, I would point out:
- creators final form (looks awesome, the fight is dynamic with loads of adrenaline rushing to your head and the music... :D)
- frozen veil mantis shrimp (great look, nice idea for the fight, wish it only could be a bit harder to defeat)
- Mithala (yeah, right . The fight is long and rather dramatic, especially in the last parts ::))
- Golem from the Sunken city (another fine idea, love the story about this boss)
- Nautilus Prime (I dig the boss is 100% game classic and includes wonderful fights)
Others were also good, but these are my most favourite ones.
As for the octopus prime boss, I didn't find the fight *that* much disturbing. It was rather fun and challenging ;)
-
That boss was just hard to figure, every time I go near he swishes his tentacle and tries to grab me, after I was grabbed about 6 times I finally saw something coming out of its beaks. Then I tried to attack it, being caught another 4 times or so. And when I finally found my safe spot, right above it. I could beat it, still with troubles though.
Normally I go all the way back to the entrance again and stuff, very, VERY annoying boss. Good job Alec. xD
-
For the Octopus, it wasn't so much figuring out what to do (I spend too much time on these boards) than it was actually doing it. Getting caught by its tentacle was annoying as hell, and I hated having to constantly re-light the room.
-
It's just the combination of keeping the room lit, destroying the small squid that spawns, then avoid the things he spews out, finally attacking him and avoiding his tentacle while shooting.
Which is annoying.
Kind of the same with the upside down lobster thing in Ice Veil, I was trying to get his bomb near him everytime dropping it from the top while escaping myself. Well, The bomb didn't stay near or the lobster was already gone, so I just bond it to me, shot the lobster from the roof and stayed above him, being sure that I hit it.
-
I enjoyed the whole creator sequence, except the search in the dark one. Looking at the modding aspect of the game I found another creator form that I don't remember in the game. Anyone know why it was taken out?
Despite what alot of people say I liked the Jelly King. It looked cool, had lasers, spawned littlejellys, trapped you in it, and was a difficult fight. It wasn't mentally challenging but it tested your reflexes and abundance of extra ingredients. I spent much of the game collecting ingredients and this was the first boss that I had to use more than a couple of them.
The sun worm was also great. The changing waterlevel was difficult and called for quick changes of forms.
-
The thread's almost a year old. Might want to check the dates before you post. You had me thinking Glamador was back... ^-^
-
Oh sorry for misleading you. I'm just fairly new to the forums and just am starting to look at the topics.
-
No worries - I made the exact same mistake when I started. :P
[EDIT]: While the topic of bosses is open: Nautilus Prime is the first boss in any game that actually made me sweat.
[EDIT2]: "Under the water, no one can see you sweat."
But everybody can hear you scream (sound travels great through water). ^-^

What's with smell? Are fishes able to smell?
-
They're able to taste... and well, everything ends up in the water. Poor fellas.
-
1 - Great Jelly Fish / The Abyss
2 - Golem / The Sunken City
3 - Sun Worm / The Sun Temple
4 - Forest Queen / The Kelp Forest
5 - The Creator (all forms) / The Body
-
Are those your hardest or most favourite bosses?
-
Favorites, because the Forest Queen is easy, easy :p
If the hardest, I should be listed the Ice Lobster too...
-
I really enjoyed the Third form of the Creator. I love how you had to use the background music to find the guy. Forest Queen is the most memorable for me, because I didn't know I could shoot it when it's eyes are open, I though you had to deflect the shot she fires onto her. After the fourteenth shot, I gave up, which led me here. :)
-
1. Jelly King
2. Mithalas
3. The Gauntlet (I know its not a boss, shush)
-Honorable Mention-
* The Creator (First Form)
* Frankenzombie
* The Creator (Final Form)
-
Ah, the Gauntlet. Yeah, it's not a boss, but the function it serves is pretty close, if not the same. Can't really call it memorable though, all I remember is swimming through a bunch of purple passage-ways and shooting things. I remember thinking that the music for the area before the one the Creator is in was pretty fitting.
Jelly King comes pretty close to dead-last for me, but the annoying octopus takes that position. I agree with your list of honorable mentions, and I'm surprised no one's mentioned Simon yet. He wasn't my personal favorite, but he sure deserves to be honorably mentioned.
FYI: Mithalas is the city, Mithala is the god
-
The jelly king had plenty of enemies to keep you on your toes, a few interesting attacks, and the most rewarding costume once you finally do defeat him... I like a boss where things go nuts. Mithala
s was cool because he was the boss that made the puzzle element most evident. Now I personally didn't care much for Simon... I'm not sure whether I'm good or bad at memory games like that, they just bug me.
-
Weird thing is I'm awesome at the physical game Simon. But the Simon Boss just wouldn't co-operate. I think it's because of the added complication of having to sing the pattern, you can't rely on hand-eye co-ordination and muscle memory as much.
Btw Chibi, thanks to you PM'ing me saying you were glad I'm back I actually decided to come back. So it's not all bad.
