Think You Can Take On a Gorilla? Try These 4 Iconic Ape Boss Fights First

by

Recently, if you’ve been browsing social media, you might have stumbled upon some memes depicting the scene of 100 men facing off against a single gorilla. Even though this scenario may appear absurd or outlandish in certain aspects, it is just another instance of the peculiarities that the internet often presents.

Regardless of whether it’s feasible or not, that’s not the point here. Let’s move on from debating hypothetical scenarios and discuss something more engaging instead. For instance, let’s delve into the challenging battles featuring apes – fights we stand a chance of winning.

Here are four iconic video game apes you can fight with a significantly higher chance of survival:

Guardian Ape – Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

If you find yourself perusing this collection, it’s likely that you were already aware the Ape from Sekiro’s gameplay was included.

Initially, the battle may appear winnable based on your abilities. However, Sekiro throws a typical FromSoftware curveball at you – something unexpected that catches you off guard and results in your defeat – no spoilers there! After overcoming this boss, though, Sekiro doesn’t let up. There’s still more chaos involving monkeys to contend with.

Lavaback – Wild Hearts

Wild Hearts, developed by Electronic Arts, aimed to replicate the style of Monster Hunter games, although it didn’t quite nail all aspects. However, I must acknowledge one standout feature – the Karakuri system, which added an interesting gameplay element. Regrettably, most of the monsters (referred to as Kemonos) failed to make a lasting impression, except for a few unique ones such as the Lavaback.

This creature may not exist in reality as we know it, but it shares characteristics similar to monkeys. Interestingly enough, it seems to be coated in flowing lava and performs acrobatic backflips that would put Olympic gymnasts to shame. It’s nimble, it can be fierce, and serves as a formidable challenge for many players early on their gaming journey.

When you believe you’ve mastered the situation, more challenging versions appear. Gather your top equipment (or enlist help from two companions) and brace yourself for a battle with a fiery simian.

The Great Sage’s Broken Shell – Black Myth: Wukong

Similar to the other battles mentioned, The Great Sage’s Broken Shell serves as an all-encompassing test of skills. In its role as the final boss in Black Myth: Wukong, it challenges you to utilize everything you’ve mastered thus far, and then seeks to shatter those very abilities.

The vacant shell of the famed Monkey King is unyielding. It’ll swipe your wine gourds, immobilize your persona, and conjure doubles merely to overpower you. It’s not just a fight; it’s a test.

Rajang – Monster Hunter World

Among all the apes, there’s one you definitely don’t want to cross paths with – Rajang. Not even ancient dragons such as Kirin dare to approach this formidable creature. Even experienced hunters who have perfected their equipment prefer to give it a wide berth.

Rajang is a whirlwind of muscle, fury, and speed. When it transforms into its “Super Saiyan” equivalent, it launches a swift series of punches and electric attacks capable of wiping out an entire unit. Notably, it possesses its own version of the Kamehameha. Be sure to keep an eye on its tail if you’re engaging in combat with this enraged Rajang variant. If you find yourself facing a Furious Rajang variant, best of luck!

However, these four apes are extremely formidable, yet fortunately, there’s still a possibility for you to stand your ground. You likely won’t require the assistance of 99 others, but you will need perseverance, determination, and a well-thought-out strategy.

Before considering tackling a genuine gorilla, it’s wise to conquer these challenging boss battles initially. However, let me emphasize that under no circumstances should you attempt to engage in a physical confrontation with a gorilla.
