Hands down the best ever boss battle I had was the first time I killed Glint.

It was long long ago before Sorrows Furnace update...

8 live people ventured into the Dragons Lair to do the unthinkable.
2 Wars
2 Elementals
1 Ranger
3 Monks

This was the first mission that allowed 8 people to work together, and we worked very well indeed.

Surrounding Glint we sent myself(War/monk) and the other Warrior in close with the rest at the edge of agro, then the egg was taken...

For the next 15+ minutes we battled that beast, chipping away at this hit points and ressing our fallen comrads. Nobody stood still, always circling, moving or running when Glint broak from the Wars to charge the outer ring of antagonists.
In the end Glint lay dead at our feet and a massive roar went up, ok was typed on screen, at our fantastic accomplishment.
Keep in mind this was with people that had not yet beaten the game, did not have all skills or elite for there primary, let alone there secondary proffesions.

Side note*

This was what I was expecting/hoping the battle with the great destroyer would be. Make him twice the size of Glint with 5000 hp and a few strong skils.
Destroyer blaze : deal 500 dmg to target foe and burning for 5seconds
Destroyer howl : strip all enchantments from foe in shout range, deal 25dmg for each enchantment removed
Destroyer Aura : remove all hexs and conditions, deal 50 dmg and cause burning for 5 seconds to one foe for each hex removed
Destroyer Feast : steal 100hp from each foe that is burning within agro range.

Now that would have been a battle to be proud of!

Me and my friend vs Shiro and the Lich.

We did it the first time we saw him (Just).....

Then went on to finish the game, I think that made me the first UK paragon to finish NF. NEVER AGAIN WILL I SUBJECT MYSELF TO THAT.

Sarss Stormscale: He's right outside Eredon Terrace. He's an air ele boss. I remember getting wiped by him during the Factions preview. I was totally caught off guard by the increase in boss damage that they had put in Factions. That was a good fight to go back for.

Chung the Attuned. Hardmode. I didn't win. XD

MithranArkanere · Sep 08, 2007, 10:26 PM // 22:26

I'm with Glint. Not as hard as Funny.

I still remember the 'Interrupt that!!!!!!' yells anyone telling when she was about to use Crystal Hibernation, XDDD.

Punches · Sep 08, 2007, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Mine was also Glint. It was an all guildy run waaaaaay back in the day and we just wanted to see if we could do it. Half an hour of circling and ressing and alot of profanity via TS, but the screenshot of the cinematic after the battle with us all lined up, matching capes, and that giant dragon dead at our feet, well back then that was just the limit man.
::sniff::
I wish GW had alot more boss battles that rivaled that one.

Harmless · Sep 08, 2007, 10:43 PM // 22:43

No contest.

Glint.

Dr Strangelove · Sep 09, 2007, 12:28 AM // 00:28

The Forgeman in Sorrow's Furnace was pretty awesome. Coordinating a PuG that had never been there before without the help of wiki was fun.

A close second would be Fendi Nin in Shards of Orr.

"Wow, he's almost dead, that was really easy"
*Fendi's soul spawns along with a pile of rits*
"Oh shi-"

Malice Black · Sep 09, 2007, 12:38 AM // 00:38

Has to be Glint, she is the 'original' boss.

judgedread33 · Sep 09, 2007, 12:43 AM // 00:43

Got to be Molotov Rocktail...

The first time i saw him i was like oh my god thats a big siege devourer so me and my heros and henchies went in and i did what i always do with bosses and slapped pain inverter on him when all of a sudden he uses some siege attack and wipes out 6 of my party but lets just say pain inverter did its job and he got obliterated from it... shortest boss battle on GW:EN ever.

Malice Black · Sep 09, 2007, 12:54 AM // 00:54

Didn't have an issue with him, I tanked him with my devourer while the H/H laid into him.

Did get wiped when I was out farming some points though, didn't see him coming *boom* party wipe

Vermilion · Sep 09, 2007, 01:22 AM // 01:22

Man, Glint for me was really disappointing. I only did the mission once, when I was still new to the game. I had heard that I'd have to fight this Big ass dragon, and that it was hard as hell. Unfortunately, me and a guildie beat her easily with henchmen..sigh.

yesitsrob · Sep 09, 2007, 02:06 AM // 02:06

Urgoz, he is like a tree.

bloodvayne · Sep 09, 2007, 05:15 AM // 05:15

I almost got to fight Urgoz.

I say almost because this was before reconnects :/

But right now I'm going to have to go with Zoldark the Unholy, he wasn't entirely hard, but was a very fun boss fight. Very cool looking character too.

Metal Herc · Sep 09, 2007, 05:21 AM // 05:21

Maybe Glint has been made easier, but I just recently went through the Dragons Lair to cap skills and decided to give her a shot. With no real planning I beat her easily :S

I'd have to say the Lich. He's not hard, and the fight wasnt particularly amazing, but I had owned prophecies for nearly 2 years and never got around to beating him. So when I did it felt great.

l u b i · Sep 09, 2007, 05:56 AM // 05:56

Trying to vangwish asclan and keep fighting the Grawl monk boss for like 45 min and when he reach 10% hp he cast heal hands and we dont have intrupt skill in our group so it was my best vs boss coz he droped a req 8 15^50 spatha for me. so its the best boss i fight.

Toutatis · Sep 09, 2007, 06:07 AM // 06:07

My favourite boss fight so far has been Shiro in the Imperial Sanctum. Mainly because to me, he's been the only truly challenging boss I've had to deal with so far.

I like it when I have to make 8 or 9 (or more) attempts to kill a boss, as I had to with Shiro. It lets me try out more different strategies to refine my gameplay, and gives me a bigger sense of accomplishment when the bss finally hits the dirt.

Buster · Sep 09, 2007, 06:18 AM // 06:18

Glint ftw ! Taking down the big dragon is always fun.

Thorondor Port · Sep 09, 2007, 08:14 AM // 08:14

Glint was good. Markis broke my heart the very first time through prophicies. Felt good to own him.
My first and only trip through the Deep got me his sword. So that was cool too.

Turbobusa · Sep 09, 2007, 09:23 AM // 09:23

I waited so long for glint that I knew how to fight her and thus i didn't enjoyed the fight.
the most frustrating boss I had to fight has to be the one owning VwK. he deals so much damage and he's still able to heal himself with ease.
So fighting him and pwning his face will always be my favorite battle
