This article contains spoilers for many of Raidou Remastered’s late-game bosses. If you’ve not beaten the game yet, we recommend coming back later.
Like manyAtlusgames,Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Armyshines with its boss designs and the battles that follow. These range from transforming demons to giant battleships to gods.
While some might be a cakewalk, others are much trickier, and we’ve listed the ten Raidou Remastered bosses that gave us the most difficulty.
10Tai-Itsu Core
The Tai-Itsu Core is one of Raidou Remastered’s stranger bosses. It’s a literal power core on a satellite orbiting Earth, amplifying the disaster that’s happening on the planet below. Taking out a core on its own sounds relatively simple, but it’s not without its caveats.
Firstly, you won’t be fighting as Raidou himself in this battle; instead, you’ll play as the demon you sent to space. This complicates things as the demon has a completely different playstyle from our Demon summoner, forcing you to learn on the fly. The core will also besummoning demonsof its own for you to fend off, and, if that wasn’t enough, there are three smaller cores you need to destroy to be able to damage the bigger one. It’s a tricky, multifaceted battle.
9Abihiko And Nagasunehiko
Abihiko and Nagasunehiko are one of Raidou Remastered’s only dual bosses. This presents a challenge on its own, as each has its own elemental affinities, and you’ll need to dodge attacks from not one, but two bosses.
Alongside this, the duo has a truly dastardly team attack, in which they link up and spin around the arena in an unpredictable manner. You’ll be forced to hide your demons at this point and dodge for your life. Thankfully, once you take down one, things get a little easier, but there are certainly points where the fight is a little dicey.
8Ichimokuren
The Wind Ichimokuren is a boss built around a singular, slightly frustrating mechanic. It only has one weak spot, its giant eye, but for half the fight, that eye is closed, meaning you can’t damage the creature.
While its eye is closed, Ichimokuren will summon other demons for you to fend off. Once you’ve beaten those, you’ll be free to attack the tentacled eye. The problem is, when its eye is open, Ichimokuren has some brutal attacks, meaning you won’t get a moment to breathe.
7Rasputin
Rasputin is one of Raidou Remastered’s big bads, whom you’ll first fight in chapter 4. He starts off by hiding himself in one of three giant nesting dolls, similar to those seen in the Matrix Labyrinth. This means you’ll have to find him before you’re able to hurt him, and things spiral from there.
During the fight, alongside his powerful attacks and status effect-afflicting moves, Rasputin will also summon more dolls, each one of which has skills and abilities on its own. You’ll need to have your wits about you at all times during this one.
6Red Cape
The Red Cape is the first big challenge you’ll face in Raidou Remastered. Although it later becomes a standard enemy, your first encounter with the monster is no cakewalk.
It’s quick, strong, and becomes increasingly more erratic as the fight goes on. Plus, it flies into the air to throw an explosive taxi at you. It’s the first time you’re likely to be truly challenged during your playthrough of the game, so make sure you’re prepared.
5Hitokotonushi
Hitokotonushi is one of Raidou Remastered’s most interesting bosses, and one that constantly keeps you on your toes.
The creature has a range of forms, including a Leshy, a fearsome two-headed lion-like beast, and a rapid eagle. Each of these forms comes with its own affinities, meaning you won’t be able to prepare too much beforehand; instead, you’ll rely on switching demons on the fly, potentially slowing down your momentum. It doesn’t hit the hardest, but your constant need to adapt makes this a worthy foe.
4Mishaguji
If this were a list of the most repulsive Raidou Remastered bosses, Mishaguji would rank far higher than it is. The phallic-looking half-serpent, half-human is a sight to behold, and a difficult adversary, too.
It sits in the Volt Order, has a large health pool, and a devastating moveset to match. What makes this fight even harder, though, is the constant summoning of Hiruki. These demons will regularly heal Mishaguji, so you’ll be juggling damaging your primary target, dodging its attacks, and making time for the little floating creatures.
3Sukura-Hikona
Sukura-Hikona is an irritating one. It’s a boss that’s pivotal to Raidou Remastered’s story, possessing General Munakata, and the fight matches its importance to the game’s narrative.
The demon has a range ofstatus-inflicting moves, including one that stuns Raidou, and it also has the power to send allied demons back into their tubes, meaning you’re able to often find yourself one-on-one with the creature. Because of this, the demon is just as annoying as it is difficult.
2Kaya/Raidou XL
Kaya, aka Raidou XL, strips Raidou Remastered’s combat back to its basics. The fight begins with Kaya stripping Raidou of his demons, forcing him to fight using only his sword.
Make sure you’ve got the best weapon from the Goumaden before you begin this fight.
Once in battle, Kaya is incredibly rapid, and her attacks pack a serious punch. What makes her exceptionally tricky, though, is the quick-time event thrown your way. You have less than a second to react to her slash attack, and if you don’t, you’ll take some serious damage. Taking her down, though, only leads to a more difficult fight.
1Battleship Yasomagutsu/Soulless God Yasomagutsu
This fight is a true battle of attrition and features multiple stages. Following your battle with Kaya, the time-traveling devil summoner, she’ll fuse with a battleship, becoming Battleship Yasomagutsu. This first stage sees you fight off waves of enemies until the ship approaches the dock, allowing you to attack. It’s quite a lengthy process.
After beating the first stage, Battleship Yasomagutsu transforms into a giant robot, like the one seen destroying the city earlier in the game. This is probably the easiest phase as, although it has some powerful AOE attacks, you just need to take down the two arms.
The third stage is where things really kick off. After beating its battleship form, Yasomagutsu becomes the Soulless God. It’s a name straight out ofa FromSoftware title, and while not quite as difficult, this abomination is sure to cause all sorts of issues.
