Top 10 Best God of War Series Bosses
The God of War series, developed by Santa Monica Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, has been a cornerstone of action-adventure gaming since its debut in 2005. With each new installment, players are introduced to a pantheon of formidable foes that test the limits of their skills and strategies.From the savage might of Ares in the original game to the cunning and brutal Valkyrie Queen Sigrun in God of War (2018), each boss encounter is a meticulously crafted experience that combines storytelling, game mechanics, and jaw-dropping visuals.
These bosses not only challenge players with their strength and abilities but also contribute to the rich mythology and emotional depth of the series.
These are the meanest, strongest, and awesomest bosses of God of War.
Cronos is the father of Zeus and is truly an epic boss with garage-sized fingernails. At one point, he even eats you! Then, you cut open his stomach - disgusting but cool at the same time.
I knew Cronos would be number one. It's a large-scale battle, and the intestines are so graphic!
How come the Hydra is number one? Cronos will always be the best.
Definitely one hell of a boss battle. No cheap shots like the other gods, just a proper one-on-one duel between Kratos and Hades. Amazing boss.
No adds, just a good old-fashioned duel.
Sibling rivalry taken to the extreme! Fighting Hercules is a blast.
Those punches, though.
Although this is more of a tutorial, it's the best one you'll see, with arguably the best death scene in gaming. Poseidon is truly epic while fighting on a Titan.
Great intro to a great game.
So, number 1 isn't a Titan, a god, or a giant statue, but rather a mythical beast. And not just any mythical beast - it's the Hydra, the very first boss in God of War. This nine-headed dragon tears your boat apart while you have to brutally kill each head, setting the tone for the rest of the series.
This was the boss everyone waited for - the final enemy, the rival, the main villain of the whole game. And it did not disappoint. In the end, Kratos is crowned the new God of War.
Jeez, Ares is so ugly in the God of War series. I prefer the version with the Spartan armor.
The first two sisters require a very strategic battle where players need to think and use a lot of patience.
The second final boss of God of War 2 had been hyped from the very beginning... and it certainly delivered - especially with Lahkesis and Atropos.
Not only is she the hardest boss in God of War, but she's the hardest boss ever! She has every Valkyrie attack and can unleash them in the blink of an eye.
Any of the Valkyries can turn God of War into Dark Souls (except Kara). But Sigrun? Boy, she was tough!
My favorite boss ever. He kills Kratos' brother and almost defeats Kratos himself. He's a very powerful deity who holds both of them at bay.
Thanatos is stronger than Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, and Ares!
God of puzzles!
(Sorry, I forgot her name.) Every God of War game has an epic beginning, and Ascension does not disappoint. This giant half-bug, half-human boss completely changes the area and environment.
Charon knocked down Kratos in just one shot!
He bested Kratos in a fight during the flashback scene.
Perses is so adorable. He plays with the buildings like a kid!
