Most important, however, was how vividly they lingered in our minds. Assembled by a committee of gaming journalists with various tastes, our rank factored in each enemy’s overall difficulty, the novelty of their fight mechanics, and their influence on subsequent games. That goes most for these 100 bosses, who have been providing gamers with shared war stories for more than 30 years. Bison or Psycho Mantis or Atheon, they’ve all served as finish lines, final examinations, and feats of collaboration. In a medium where individual experiences can now vary greatly - no two people play Minecraft the same way, nor do any two games of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds even remotely resemble one another - bosses remain a common experience, cultural touchstones for entire generations of games and the people who play them. What this big-bad revival reminds us is that we’re better off with bosses in our gaming lives. And there’s Destiny, a series that brought bosses back in a big way by borrowing ideas from massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft, making them nigh-insurmountable challenges that required teamwork from a large group of players. Runaway sleeper hits like Shovel Knight and Hyper Light Drifter nakedly emulated and updated 8- and 16-bit sensibilities, where challenging levels were par for the course and boss fights took center stage. Souls and its sequels/spinoffs inspired countless imitators, like Lords of the Fallen and this year’s Nioh, to such an extent that ‘ Souls-like’ is now a genre descriptor. Demon’s Souls had already embraced the opaque design and challenges of classic games, adding names like Ornstein and Smough to the wince-inducing canon of legendary video-game big bads. Then a wave of nostalgia brought the boss back. Open-world and online games flourished, player choice became paramount, and boss fights in games that felt otherwise wide open - like the notoriously underwhelming boss confrontations in otherwise acclaimed games such as Bioshock or Deus Ex: Human Revolution - ended up feeling like dead weight. Bosses were effectively bottlenecks at a time where games were expanding. ![]() ![]() Until somewhat recently, it seemed as if the concept of the video-game boss was on its last legs. It’s both Destiny 2’s biggest challenge and mystery, and for the past week the game’s community of players has been racing to square off with Leviathan’s mysterious boss, six people at a time. That’s the name of the game’s marquee Raid, a massive, sprawling level that explains almost nothing about how to beat it, and requires teamwork among six players to solve its riddles and take down whatever boss lies at the end. It moves at the normal speed with one command block, but if you want it to move faster, just add chain command blocks on the side the repeating command block is facing.Last week, Destiny 2, a highly anticipated online shooter that’s best played with friends, raised the curtain on a mystery it had been teasing for weeks leading up to the game’s early September release: the Leviathan. I tested it on a 400 * 400 maze (the one in the OP is 50 * 50) and it made it in a couple of minutes. It works almost exactly the same, but you just need to use emerald blocks for the edges and put this command to the repeating command block: /function maze:generate2 (Inspiration from a comment here(cant find it now)) It doesn't use armor stands for backtracking but rather blocks that are placed to face a direction. So i made a new version that is Much faster. It doesn't have an end or even a start, but you can just break a few blocks from opposite corners for example. It should delete all the armor stands when it finishes. Then all you have to do is put a lever on the command block and flick it. Put this command in it: /function maze:generate (To get it run this command in chat: /give minecraft:repeating_command_block) Put an armor stand on the emerald block and run this command in chat: /tag add MazeGenerator Edit: also it must an odd number of blocks away from the gold in all directions. Then place an emerald block in the place you want the maze to start from, but not right next to the gold. ![]() To use the maze generator you must make a rectangle of gold blocks on the floor, that has an odd side length. You need to reload your world if it is open. It was made in 1.16 but it might work for 1.15 or 1.14. Then drag the mazegenerator folder to your world's datapacks folder. I made a datapack that allows you to make these mazes yourself.Įxtract the folder to your desktop or really anywhere you like.
