Top 10 Best RAID BOSSES in Borderlands History

[sooperspeedy]

Maliwan takedown is hands down my favorite piece of endgame content from any borderlands game. The valkyries are a fun boss to fight and the wotan fight is absolutely unmatched in how chaotic it feels. Its the shining gem for me in bl3

[bignath]

You nailed the list. Wotan and the valkyries are my number one pick too. And like you said, the maliwan takedown flows beautifully like a river

[sirdomo]

Honestly, an overlooked boss who is *not* a raid boss is EOS from the Pre-Sequel.
You simply can not beat killing Space Station Helios but with Claptrap's insecurities.

I swear if Eista the sometimes appears as an Invincible but definitely isn’t an invincible but did say Invincible above his name at one point but didn’t have any raid boss mechanics isn’t on this list I’m gonna lose it

[GreenDinoRanger]

It's a shame that the Guardian Takedown is such an unenjoyable slog to get through. I love fighting Anathema, even with her immunity phases

[i_use_colgate]

this list actually really surprised me not what i thought at all but the reasons you gave made since and now i actually agree. Great list once again!

[brettrossi]

I distinctly remember when I played BL1 when it originally released, then found the DLC drops later and got all of them. When I ran through General Knoxx DLC and eventually got to "You will die!" Going up the elevator to see myself saying... "WTF is a Crawmerax the Invincible?" And getting yeeted out of existence immediately... Never fought him again lmfao (I'm a solo player at heart and didn't understand raid bosses at the time).
My two favorite though from BL3 ones that I've beaten and beated again I loved were the Cartels event with the mini bosses and Joey Ultraviolet and Maliwan Takedown with Wotan and Valkyries!

This was very well made! I feel like Terra is the gold standard for stand-alone raid bosses since there are so many ways to take her on and beat her, but she still has her mechanics you have to watch out for.
GTD is gold standard for takedown bosses (not really talking about loot) since they're so mechanically well done.
MTD is the gold standard for everything else in a takedown, great loot, decent bosses, and the mobbing in between both bosses isn't so frustrating.

Great video as always!

Terramorphous was my first raid boss, so that goes to my #1 spot. I like the boss fights from the BL3 Takedowns. Wotan and the Better Half are really close second behind Terramorphous. The entire Wotan fight is even better since Wotan can spawn in Hoplites, Arbalests, spheres, etc. so you can get a mix other enemies and not just the Maliwan troops. That bit of enemy mix is something Gearbox should include in future raid boss matches.

Add a raid boss to Athenas it's not like there is no more room on the planet. We need some eridian guns added to the Guardian takedown Make it worth my time! Please tell them K6. Notice me Randy!!

[Lulzinh]

wait, a perfect grounded hide is one in 9 MILLION? WHAT?
bruh and me being happy that tripple O just spawned

[Terry.W]

Good to see a mention of the Pre have spent hours on that ledge fighting Crawmerax..

[austindude]

[rpsnider]

I remember having to jump online to party up whenever one of my friends wanted to go at Terra, most of my friends main'd Maya or Salvador, while I almost always preferred to use Zer0 and when Krieg came out obviously him. I was able to take him down solo, but when you paired up it made the boss much harder and so it was still very fun. Still, Zer0 was an absolute menace with the insane damage he could output when built properly.

[danielvalentino]

MTD is my post played/re-played part of any BL franchise. I absolutely love it. Great design, great difficultly and great loot. It is a work of art.

[Fearmaker-gsfm]

My favorite raid boss of all the games was Face Mcshooty…

[StarRider]

Borderlands 3 is so much fucking fun and easily the best Borderlands in terms of gameplay. I hate that people shit on it for Ava and the Calypsos as if riveting storytelling and deep, interesting characters are suddenly a series staple.

[pquonbbx]

The Maliwan Takedown was beautiful I felt so accomplished when I finally beat it it solo on mayhem 5 which was incredibly tough

[charlesheinrichs]

#1 totally agree, love farming Wotan. The takedown is one of the funnest farms ever
