The BEST Boss From Every LEGO Video Game

The Best Boss From Every Lego Video Game

Welcome to MojoPlays, and today, we're taking a look at the best boss fight from every TT Lego game under the sun!

Player 2

“Lego Star Wars: The Video Game” (2005)
Why TT Games hasn't double-dipped into this format is a mystery. The first "Lego Star Wars" ended so perfectly with how you and your buddy spent the majority of the game building and fighting together. And now, you both share Anakin and Obi-Wan's pain in fighting each other, but for the sake of entertainment. Even if the fight eventually boils down to who can spam the lightsaber slam the quickest, it was still a ton of fun to have a little bit of PvP in the game that could mildly affect the story.

The Emperor

“Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy” (2006)
Unfortunately, the PvP final boss was not repeated for "Lego Star Wars II". However, that does not mean one boss fight was replaced with a worse one. The final fight against the Emperor was thrilling in narrative and combat. And yet, we didn't care about either of those because in the moment, we were caught up with only one thing: the chance to play as Darth Vader. We only got a taste of that in the first game and no more before this moment. You know there were siblings who fought over this opportunity.

The Mechanic

“Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures” (2008)
The Mechanic seems like a super vanilla choice out of all of "Lego Indy's" bosses. Well, it's because the rest of the game's bosses are either annoyingly easy or just flat out annoying. The Mechanic, on the other hand, is a perfect blend of combat and puzzle. One player mans a turret to distract him while the other player runs around to build heavy objects to trick the Mechanic into punching. It isn't hard, but it is more unique in its overall design than the other bosses.

The Joker

“Lego Batman: The Videogame” (2008)
The first "Lego Batman" had some pretty exciting boss fights throughout the campaign. That goes for both Hero and Villain levels! But that final fight against Joker was absolutely brilliant. We’ll be honest, our praise for this fight is mostly stemming from the fan service here. Come on, an entire boss fight based on the climactic battle from the 1989 “Batman” movie? How can you NOT gush over this?? We only wish it had “Waltz to the Death” blaring in the background, but as is, there’s no way any “Batman” fan will forget this fight.

Donovan

“Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues” (2008)
We know that this list is "the best boss fights from every Lego game", but trust us when we say that "Lego Indy 2" has no good boss fights. So, why bother choosing one? Why Donovan instead of Irina? Well, for the simple fact that the game is over after Donovan. "Lego Indy 2" forces you to suffer through "Crystal Skull" before you can play the original trilogy. But by the time you get to Donovan, you'll be so bored from the game's poor pacing and mundane mechanics that he will be the best part of the game. A light at the end of a long tunnel can be the biggest relief for a person.

Voldemort

“Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4” (2010)
It may not be the best when looking at both “Lego Harry Potter” games, but considering this was the end of the first half of the full story, it was still a pretty solid ending. In addition to surviving the Dark Lord’s attacks, you will have waves of Dementos spawning in. Admittedly, there isn’t a lot going on in terms of mechanics. You’ll have seen every trick employed by previous Lego games. But when simply enjoying the spectacle and reliving the final moments of “Goblet of Fire”, many fans were eager to get their hands on “Years 5-7”.

Davy Jones (At World’s End)

“Lego Pirates of the Caribbean” (2011)
Your appreciation for this fight may depend on your general admiration for the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. The final battle against Davy Jones doesn’t do a heck of a lot to differentiate itself from our duels against Barbossa and Blackbeard. Even so, it stands out mainly for nostalgia’s sake, which is both a good and a bad thing. Fighting ol’ Squidbeard here isn’t much of a challenge, but reliving the entire finale of “At World’s End” in the middle of a maelstrom is just too cool.

Asajj Ventress

“Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars” (2011)
Asajj Ventress is the best boss in “Lego Star Wars III”, but it isn’t by a long shot. Many of the game’s bosses are either easy or downright boring. With Asajj, there is at least some fan service on display. We haven’t seen a ton of “Star Wars” games in general where we get to fight this antagonist from the “Clone Wars” animated series. Yes, it does make sense for her to appear here, duh. Her only value here may be for novelty and keeping up appearances, but we’ll take what we can get since every other boss in the game is lacking.

Voldemort

“Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7” (2011)
Here it was! Finally, the climactic end to “Harry Potter” and the chance for us to bring an end to Voldemort’s reign once and for all! Much like in the movie, Harry and his friends will have their skills put to the test, with Harry taking on the Dark Lord while the others fend off snakes, spiders, and more. From the intense atmosphere to the visuals and set piece, TT Games managed to pay “Harry Potter” the utmost respect with this finale. If only the non-Lego games were this good.

The Witch-king

“Lego The Lord of the Rings” (2012)
One of the absolute best moments from “Return of the King” is the final bout against the Witch-king of Angmar. For starters, you have that awesome opening where you come into battle riding a horse while hucking spears in every direction. It’s pretty sick even if you know you’re on a fixed path. But fighting the Lord of Nazgul while he’s riding a dragon? It only adds to his menacing presence before you see him slowly drag his flail around. It’s just overall entertaining in every way.

The Joker

“Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes” (2012)
Okay, we recognize that you do fight Joker multiple times in “Lego Batman 2”. He kind of serves as the barrier between you and Lex Luthor, buying his partner in crime ample time to carry out their devious deeds. But the fight we’re highlighting here is the one where the Joker’s giant robot comes in. From the ways you get to play with Green Lantern’s powers to the terrifying design and laugh of the Joker-bot, it’s probably the coolest moment in the entire game. Our only complaint is the dang camera. Seriously, why does it have to be so off?

Galactus

“Lego Marvel Super Heroes” (2013)
Some may not be too crazy about this one, but that is totally okay. We can admit that the lack of combat here is glaring, especially for a final boss such as this. But we get it; this is a colossal being from another world going against a team of heroes and villains, all of which are only a fraction of his size. This is where “Lego Marvel’s” unique puzzles and mechanics come in as it gives every character a chance to shine. Besides, where else are you going to see Spidey, Magneto, Captain America, Hulk, and Venom team up? (Don’t say “Marvel Ultimate Alliance” in the comments - it was a rhetorical question.)

Rex Fury

“Lego City Undercover” (2013)
Rex Fury is the only boss you ever face in “Lego City Undercover”, but the final fight against him is where the game truly shines. First phase, the two of you duke it out with a mecha and a robot dinosaur! Second and final phase? You fly into space and brawl with Rex and his goons before your graceful descent back to Earth. Never would we have found ourselves fawning over such a “jumping the shark” moment in a game like this.

Brainiac

“Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham” (2014)
It was already awesome to see “Lego Batman 3” incorporate so many other DC heroes and villains, and the inclusion of Brainiac was a solid choice overall. Admittedly, it is underwhelming that this boss fight isn’t anything more than a test of survival as you battle hordes of Brainiac’s minions. The only reason it is “the best” in the game is because of the setting. With Gotham being shrunken down to a miniature city, it was neat seeing our heroes destroy buildings and reassemble bricks into other structures to gain the upper hand. We only wish there was more done here to make it truly spectacular.

Goblin King

“Lego The Hobbit” (2014)
Compared to the Witch-king, the Goblin King is a massive disappointment. For starters, the boss fight is only a few minutes short. Second, most of it is spent running around him and avoiding his attacks. Not much interaction here. And third, it signifies the end to a milquetoast game. That’s honestly the only reason why this is “the best” in the game. Really, they should have just waited until “Battle of the Five Armies” was out and spent whatever time they could ironing out this portion of the game.

Lord Business

“The Lego Movie Videogame” (2014)
The whole final level to this game was decent. It wasn’t anything super exciting, but to be able to fight with a giant mech made of construction vehicles, it truly was awesome! Unfortunately, that’s about all it has going for it. This climactic battle against Lord Business doesn’t do anything remarkably interesting, and the way it spells out every phase’s weakness gets obnoxious pretty quick. Remember, “the best” can sometimes mean “the least awful or middling”.

Indominus Rex

“Lego Jurassic World” (2015)
Much like “The Lego Movie Videogame”, “Lego Jurassic World” drags things on for too long by spelling out every solution for you. Although, it simply cannot spoil the final moments of this game! Just about everyone has wanted to see two T. Rexes duke it out at one point or another. But not only do we get to see one, we get to play as one of them, too! Blue is there to help, too, but who cares when you got these two colossal reptiles fighting each other? Our only gripe is that it could have been more destructive. Come on, let the bricks fly!

GLaDOS

“Lego Dimensions” (2015)
“Lego Dimensions” already had some fun boss fights, especially in the early hours of the game. Fighting Lord Business in Springfield’s power plant will always resonate with us the most, but GLaDOS takes the fake cake here. Maybe we’re just suckers for “Portal”, but there is a ton of love poured into this fight between the intricate puzzles and the surprise cameo from “Space Odyssey’s” HAL 9000. Warner Bros is clearly flexing their legal team here, and thanks to them, we got this wild mash-up mayhem.

Loki

“Lego Marvel’s Avengers” (2016)
When you’re basing an entire second half of your game on 2012’s “The Avengers”, it’s kind of hard to screw things up compared to basing your first half on, say, “Age of Ultron”. For Player One, this could be the best thing ever since you get to fight Loki as Thor, test your might against his, and really live out the final battle seen in the movie. For Player Two, it might be the most boring battle since all you do is shoot down other ships as Black Widow. Really, your love for this will all depend on who is who.

Kylo Ren

“Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2016)
While “Lego Force Awakens” was overall a lukewarm and buggy game, this final fight against Kylo Ren was honestly pretty cool. For starters, you have the snowy forest serving as a morbidly beautiful setting. But what drives it home for us is how both Finn and Rey are used throughout the fight. Regardless of which player is whom, both players get to take on Kylo Ren with the lightsaber at different points. In other words, it is similar to the fight against Loki in “Lego Avengers” but with some improvement.

Kang the Conqueror

“Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2” (2017)
The first half of this fight can be hit-or-miss for some players. It’s the classic survival fight where waves upon waves of enemies attack, and you don’t really do much else. But when Kang pulls out his trump card and grows to the size of a skyscraper, that’s when things get kicked up a notch! After a little bit of puzzle-solving, you’ll get to take him on for a bit as a giant Captain America. Again, not every player may enjoy this, but for the younger players out there, this might be a major highlight.

Master Chicken

“The Lego Ninjago Movie” (2017)
Forget robot sharks and mechacrabs - this is the REAL deal! A wooden dummy with a chicken on its head? This is the best boss fight, and there is nothing you can say to argue against that.

Omnidroid

“Lego The Incredibles” (2018)
Most of the bosses featured in “Lego Incredibles” are pretty obnoxious. Really, no villain in either movie talked in such a corny tone, and when they did, the movies were in on the joke. And that’s why the only good boss fight in “Lego Incredibles” is against the Omnidroid. Not only do you get to utilize every one of the Parr family’s powers, their dialogue isn’t so hokey like the rest of the cast. The only big flaw here is the lack of interaction with the Omnidroid. Shouldn’t this thing be on a rampage instead of standing in one spot and doing nothing?

Darkseid

“Lego DC Super Villains” (2018)
“Lego DC Super Villains” has so many awesome boss fights! You’ll even find some fun ones scattered across the open world! But the fight against Darkseid - MM! With all of the major DC villains spawning in, you’ll have to make use of their powers while the Lord of Apokolips attempts to destroy you with his crazy eye lasers. It’s intense, it’s epic, and it will resonate with you long after the credits roll.

General Mayhem

“The Lego Movie 2 Videogame” (2019)
Much like the other disappointing “best” boss fights on this list, General Mayhem isn’t “the best” because she makes a great opponent. She is only here because she signifies the end of a mediocre game. Honestly, General Mayhem is the most boring of the bosses on this list. She does nothing to stop you from building, and there is a lot of contextual platforming between her phases. If this fight was used for a game like “Lego Worlds”, we’d be more forgiving. Alas, this is not “Lego Worlds”.

Emperor Palpatine (Episode IX)

“Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga” (2022)
If you told us the worst movie in Disney's fanfiction trilogy would have the best boss fight, we'd have laughed you out of the building. But no, "Episode IX" really does have the best boss fight in "Skywalker Saga", specifically because of its structure. An all-out assault on the Empire with every ship in the galaxy, a duel with the Emperor himself, and even a fight against an evil R2-D2 commanding a wall of turrets? It's such a climactic and exciting end that it's almost hard to believe they actually did this ridiculous setup in a real movie.
