All Boss Fights in Resident Evil Requiem, Ranked
Dual protagonists Leon S. Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft are in for a fight, not just against the ghastly mutations of Raccoon City, but against towering bosses and giants looking to tear them apart. With your help, though, they should just barely survive and escape these foreboding adversaries, human and beast.
Grace’s segments may not be as heavily ridden with spectacle boss fights, but they’re more than accounted for during Leon’s runs. And overall, you should enjoy a satisfying mix of skill and strategy. Here’s our ranking of all boss fights in Resident Evil Requiem.
10. The Zombie Chef
What’s been most exciting about the bosses in Resident Evil Requiem is that they have interesting personalities from their past lives. Take The Chef, mutated into a zombie, but still remembering their life washing dishes and chopping stuff.
It’s his swinging around of his large knife in the kitchen in the Care Center that will have you running for your life. The Zombie Chef doesn’t like anyone messing with their food prep and spices.
9. The Girl (Shadow Ghost)
Grace Ashcroft faces a ten-foot zombie girl, whose weakness is light. She has a past as Marie, which makes the boss fight more personalized. Anyway, guns won’t save you here. Rather, running around her, trying to reach the nearest light source you can find.
It’s more wits than brute force, adding a nice change of pace to all boss fights in Resident Evil Requiem, ranked.
8. Chunk
Leon and Grace both face the Chunk boss fight, which looks like a giant humanoid monster with feelings, if you can believe it. He’s huge from being overweight and looks terrible. But laugh at him, and he’ll take offense.
You don’t want Chunk to feed on any more dead bodies, or else he’ll grow stronger. Yet the fight is cleverly designed in a constricted space, making it incredibly tense to sneak up on him and deliver the damaging injections as Grace, or grab your shotgun and aim at his head or stomach as Leon.
Plus, it gets even more clever when you utilize the environment in the boss fight, climbing ladders to escape, and luring Chunk under weak platforms to cause even more damage.
7. The Blister Borne
You know a boss fight is going to be a pain in the ass when shooting its tumors, which are its weak points, releases a toxic gas that mutates zombies into worse Blister Head versions of themselves. Yet, you have to shoot and destroy all the blister boils for it to finally go down. There are only four massive cysts on its body nothing to chicken out on.
6. Plant 43
It’s pretty cool that among all boss fights in Resident Evil Requiem, you’ll face a plant-based bioweapon as your greatest adversary yet. It’s an infestation that returns from Resident Evil 2, only grown much bigger over the years.
Essentially, an uncontrolled growth of vines, with massive tentacles that regenerate, and has its weak point on the center of its gaping mouth.
5. Titan Spinner
Will spiders ever go out of style? Especially with potential arachnophobia among a good number of gamers? Get ready to face the scary Titan Spinner, with a gaping mouth and giant limbs that can walk on walls. It’s very agile, incredibly eluding your attempts to pin you down.
In fact, Titan Spinner pins you down, while spawning smaller spiders to keep you tied down. The fun part? It’s got its weakest point on its butt.
4. The Commander (Hunk)
Climbing the ranks until the top-most position in the paramilitary elite army for The Connections, The Commander makes a worthy case for ranking high up among all boss fights in Resident Evil Requiem. He quite embodies the Hunk boss in Resident Evil 4, sharing similar neck-breaking moves and fast-paced melee attacks.
3. Super Tyrant T-501 (Mr. X)
Going up against the Super Tyrant T-501 might be a rematch from Resident Evil 2. Well, with a few tweaks to make him stronger. But he remains The Connections’ soldier, obeying and following commands. In an open arena, you’ll have Leon running around, dodging flying cars, and trying to land damaging hits on his exposed heart.
2. Dr. Victor Gideon (Phase 1)
When you’ve been building up to getting rid of the primary antagonist, you expect to face the toughest, most frenetic, and demanding battle of your life. And the final villain and boss in Resident Evil Requiem delivers, called Victor Gideon. But first, the battle is split into two phases, and as expected, the first phase goes by relatively easily.
I say there’s nothing more taunting than the tunnel vision of a research scientist, determined to bring to the world the worst terror. For Dr. Victor Gideon, it’s working on a bioweapon called Elpis, so powerful that it mind controls and combats the effects of the T-Virus infections. And the question becomes whether to release this “cure” out in the world.
Anyway, have Grace choose to release Elpis, and you’ll have Victor’s wrath to contend with. Well, his nasty tentacles, from his own infection by the zombie virus, which causes him to have grotesque tentacles growing out of his arm, and in addition, electrical waves that he uses to take you down. Remain in constant motion aboard your motorcycle, firing nonstop gunshots, and the boss fight should be over before you know it.
1. Dr. Victor Gideon (Final Nemesis Form)
Here’s where things get a little more spicy, when Dr. Victor Gideon transitions to his final Nemesis form. He finally mutates fully, enhancing his abilities to staggering levels. He’s much stronger, taller, and his skin transforms into a pale, disgusting gray. And his mental state is crazier.
It takes everything to beat him. After all, Victor’s Nemesis-like form is one of the biggest spectacle boss fights also featured in Resident Evil 3.
You have ghastly tentacles with giant boils growing out of Victor’s body, unleashing massive AoE attacks in sweeping motions, shifting his weak points, and it just takes seemingly forever to finally put an end to his menace.
