Hello, Imp Zone! As you may or may not know, June is End Boss Month.

For my End Boss Month project, I picked Ultima, the High Seraph from one of my favorite games of all time Final Fantasy Tactics.

Final Fantasy Wiki posted:

Ultima, the High Seraph, also known as Altima, the Bloody Angel, is the leader of the Lucavi demons in Final Fantasy Tactics and is the game's final boss. She is given the title Angel of Blood and is associated with the Virgo Zodiac Stone.

Saint Ajora Glabados, the founder of the corrupt Church of Glabados, serves as her host body. Ultima was killed 1,200 years ago and the goal of the other Lucavi, led by Hashmal in her absence, is to resurrect her. Once that is done the Lucavi will have no need of auracite or the vessels they inhabit and will be able to come and go as they please.

Ultima needs a person as a host body, but the only suitable host is Ramza Beoulve's younger sister, Alma. Ultima can be resurrected at is the Airship Graveyard in the Necrohol of Mullonde but to get there, the Lucavi must use a portal hidden in Orbonne Monastery.

As her title "Angel of Blood" implies, the resurrection requires a grand amount of blood be shed. The Lucavi use the Glabados Church's influence to evoke the War of the Lions, but Hashmal discovers this has not resulted in enough bloodshed, and takes his own life to complete the ritual.

Ultima is resurrected and possesses Alma and attack's Ramza's party. Alma breaks free and Ultima manifests as a demonic being, but is killed by Ramza and his allies.

The fight:

Ultima is not the most difficult boss I've ever fought, nor is she the flashiest, but her fight is a nice finale to a game that helped me form my gamer identity.

So what about you, Imps? Tell me about an End Boss you like.

My favorite end boss is All of Humanity from the video game Hatred

Giygas from Earthbound is a predictable and overused choice, but even though I'd heard about the boss and its weirdness beforehand the battle still managed to freak me out and be incredibly tense. One of the best endings I've experienced in a videogame.

Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
The final boss of Bayonetta 1. Especially if you count in the guy who summons the last boss as prior forms.

Really, all the bosses of Bayonetta 1 owned.

I choose Sky Island 18 Hole One-on, One-putt Challenge from Mario Golf:World Tour as my End Boss. drat your oily hides, Camelot and Nintendo. As if the 9 hole challenge wasn't difficult enough, you had to turn the assdickery up to 11 by making us do it twice, and then the 18 hole challenge on top. FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU.
