This was my first time playing red dead, including the story, so i didnt know much about whats going on. Me and my sister just kept shooting eachother before getting bored and she went to buy a horse, and i followed her... until she hit me with this move...
Ranked based on fun and difficulty! the higher, the more fun, the more to the right, the harder the boss is. This is my first time, each boss was fought on tier and is skewed toward summoner as that's what i played. I was also not running optimal loadouts so the boss fights were quite long at each stage. Here's some extra notes on each boss (not necessarily in order):
Eye, scourge, king, bee: not much to say here, none are too interesting but they're better than vanilla
Giant clam: The only miniboss here, he's very easy and simple but i just have a fun time fighting him, both in pre and hard mode.
Eater of worlds: Not fun, I fought them underground in a decently sized arena, but the lack of real telegraphs for their random projectiles is annoying, they're probably a bit too far to the right, but i hated them while doing them.
Hive mind: more fun than previous, and more challenging! made it fun. Not much to say, just a decent boss, except it's dashes can be hard to react to at faster speeds
Skeletron: What a FUN boss, interesting attacks, fun to dodge, just great.
Slime gods: whatever, it's slime gods. Middle of the road.
Wall of flesh: Admittedly, after learning him, too far to the right, but jesus i still don't think he's fun. I hated the fact if you get too far away he drags you into him, it always dragged me through the Lazer, but i get why its a thing. Even past that, the gameplay of jumping to the top right every second isn't too engaging and it's not interesting.
Queen slime: Another one of my favourites, amazing visuals, fun attacks and fun to doge. Just fun overall.
Cryogen: no idea why i put him to far to the right, but i hate this boss. He has honestly 2 attacks, and they're not interesting. What makes it worse is that you can never hit him cause he's always 80 kilometers away, and if you leave the ice biome you cant hurt him at all. He's just too lanky
Prime: Super boring phase 1, moving up and down with nothing too interactive. And phase 2 isn't too interesting, but what frustrated me is his dash attack, it's so hard to dodge and I just hated it
Twins: Better, but they're not too interactive and nothing that special. Found them quite hard though.
Destroyer: just miserable. I hate his drones, i didn't have knock back immunity so I'd just keep getting knocked into his mouth, and my crowd control was awful. More an issue with my kit, but hey ho it's my list.
Astrum deus: I honestly forget about the astral infection in 90% of my calamity playthroughs and my first infernum one was no different, forgot to research stuff so had to wait an hour just to get the summon. But past that he's not too interesting again, but at least it's not hard to dodge.
Aquatic scourge: Super hard to see what will hit you, but that might be a me issue. Kept getting juggled by the clouds cause the edge is hard to gauge.
Leviathan: put in the middle and for a reason cause i don't remember a thing about this boss
Empress of light: My favourite boss, most likely. I love her attacks, they're fun to dodge, look amazing, and it's just fun all around.
Plantera: Forgot to put her in the graphic but she'd be around 4,6 on the graph. Nothing hard, and nothing special to fight, but since it's easy to win it's hard to have a bad time.
Golem: Meh... fly around him in semicircles and it's ok... interesting fight but it's quite hard still imo.
Lunatic cultist: just a squishy guy, hard to learn his attacks since you get 5 seconds with him before he dies.
Moon Lord: i HATE moonlord base game, but this is a great improvement, way more interactive and just fun in general
guardians: oh my god i struggled here, they're interesting though, but hard as fuck
dragonfolly: i literally dont remember their attacks
Providence: I was ripping out teeth but it was a fun fight anyway
Storm weaver: simple boss, but fun because winning is fun
polterghast: Weird spider thing, it's alright. Hard though and my run back was quite bad cause i had poo pylons
Ceaseless void: the camera is interesting but I couldn't get used to it and it annoyed me more than anything
Signus: Visual clarity is 0 with this boss, i couldn't see a thing the whole time cause of the background.
DoG: it's dog, so many attempts, he's so hard. However, it's SO rewarding when you feel like you're actually dancing with him.
Yharon: I love his music but his screeching pissed me off when i was facing him for the 200th time, stupid dash dash dash dash dash I JUST DID THIS STOPPP
Calamitas: I actually find her SIGNIFICANTLY easier than the exo mechs, but she's quite fun still. I like her desperation phase quite a bit
Exo Mechs: holy difficult, I struggle a lot with this, and half the time can't see anything. Super rewarding in the end, but man is it hard to get there
