Explanations

S: Roaring Knight
shit is insane bro, you get hit thrice and it’s over for you, the shooting sword attacks are the worst. if a party member is down here, they’re dead for the rest of the fight unless you have a revive mint. (didn’t stop me from being its ass though)

S-: Snowgrave Spamton
fight isn’t too hard itself but you’re completely alone as kris and he deals a shit ton of damage, especially enraged

Jevil
I mean honestly you already know he’s difficult, it’s been 6 years there’s no need to explain

A+: Titan
The first time in deltarune history that a final boss is actually somewhat difficult, mainly because there’s a lot of random bullets on screen at a time and it’s difficult (or sometimes impossible) to dodge it all (SIGNIFICANTLY easier if you use the black shard though, would be 2 ranks lower in that case)

Spamton Neo (normal route)
FORMERLY the easiest secret boss, none of his attacks are very difficult except for the 3rd heart attack and the second phone attack.

Gerson
The new easiest secret boss, some attacks are difficult such as the blue shells, and I personally struggled a lot with the new diagonal green soul mode, but you can kind of just spam Susie’s heal and wait out the fight.

A: John Mantle
I have no idea why this guy fucked me up as much as he did, he’s really not THAT difficult, but it’s a very different style of gameplay than normal, takes time to learn

Jackenstein
Once again, different kind of boss than normal, kicked my ass mainly because i didn’t see the alternate exit on that one attack and kept getting ganked by the pumpkin.

A-: Tenna
Mostly minigame focused, its an onslaught that you’re basically guaranteed to come out of with very low hp, second hardest final boss in the game

Gerson’t
I didn’t do the secret boss on my first playthrough, so this was my first time doing green soul in a while (since undyne), took some getting used to but not that difficult (also you can cheese the fight by claiming you cant hear anything to susie, which will cause the white flashes to remain throughout the entire fight)

B, C and D:
everyone in these categories is easy and i’ve already talked about them in my last list except for 2
Rouxls 2: bisexual edition
would actually be difficult, except for the fact that you get a heal act if you’re low on hp, so it really isn’t

Weather guys, turns out they’re actually married and not siblings like we all thought! Whoops!:
somewhat difficult attacks, but too short of a fight to really matter

NOT RANKED: Mike
didn’t bother fighting him

It’s supposed to be an rpg what roll am I playing the freaking victim

Bro put spamton NEO in A+ :wilted_flower:

i mean he’s harder than most but still pretty easy

Papyrus is hardest boss in deltarune

hardest boss is actually the secret gaster chara angel triple battle that you need the secret legendary artifact to beat

Am I seriously alone in that Tenna is harder than the Titan AND that Chapter 2 Rouxls is actually quite difficult?

Yes, you are

Explain how please (also i linked the template you guys can like make your own lists)

dude im so happy that we get to see gerson, mf in undertale knows that u cant hurt him in the shop and pretty sure he was undyne mentor, u just know that if he wanted to beat u up in undertale, he would since in deltarune he was more like helping susie and not rlly trying to kill her (since u know, u dont die if u lose to him)

thats snowgrave spamton when you dont have any allies

personally i didnt find the titan that bad but tenna kinda beat my ass especially at the last part with all the minigames

that being said the only boss i struggled with was jevil (he was the only secret boss i did btw knight would beat my ass

As soon as I knew what I was doing with the Titan I nailed it immediately, my strategy with Tenna relied entirely on luck and took me way too many attempts

As for Rouxls that’s on me, I didn’t really know what I was doing

But the random screen clutter on titan is way more difficult to avoid than any of tenna’s minigames, the rush at the end will probably give you low hp at the end, but I’ve never died to him

You get a full heal for the whole team when you’re on low hp with no limits as far as I can tell how do you die to this guy :sob:

Imo the knight looks a lot harder than it actually is, there’s only a few really difficult attacks (the sword gaster blaster ones). It’s still far easier than undyne and sans, but definitely difficult

The hitboxes on the first and last attack are EXTREMELY generous, and the horizontal sword rush attack is easy by the 3rd attempt

If u get the sound test wrong before the gerson statue fight the visual cues never turn off

The one where he’s shooting at you and you need to shoot him is AGONY

And the guitar one is torment too

…sorry do you

I’m on about Chapter 2 Rouxls, Chapter 3 was fine

That boss is easier than most chapter 1 bosses :sob::sob::sob::sob:

Haven’t played yet and have avoided being spoiled as of now, how good are chapters 3 and 4 compared to 1 and 2?

the first 1 or 2 minibosses of chapter 3 are kinda eh since its just upped bullet hells (though shuttah is pretty fun if you count him as a miniboss)
theres one particular boss in chapter 4 (miss mizzle) thats kind of a cool fight but after a certain point they just spam one attack and it becomes a bit dull

everything else though is really good, in terms of both difficulty and creativity
