Since I can't choose Drac, I'll choose Frankie and his humping buddy. The fight offers a nice variety of challenges. The Reaper is challenge with a capital C, The Bat is cool but easy, the mummies isn't hard but inconsistent (can anyone actually beat them without getting hit even once?) and the Medusa head is done pretty quickly, too. Though, I've got to say that Medusa was the first boss in CV that actually kind of freaked me out as a kid.

The unique challenge of the frankenstein monster made me feel the most alive in battle.
Nothing scares me, I'm a smart guy and I'll tell you one thing for certain: fear is irrational. Being the know-it-all I am, mocking foolish fears is an amusing pastime for me.  In fact there is no doubt in my mind that living in the modern world, free of all danger and uncertainty, I'll ever have to face my own death, which is after all the most basic and silly of all fears...

Yes. Troll them by hiding on top of the block that has meat in it. Duck and whip until dead.

That sounds so freaking wrong.

However:




I remember that well but I did have to watch a video on youtube once to know about it. But as far as bosses go I just do not know who to chose at the moment.

Come on now this was going to happen eventually  :P

Death is the most interesting fight I'd say and therefore my fav. Lots of on the fly tactical movements and dodging. At least as long as you don't cheese it by doing what was done in that gif lul

The Creature all the way, because it was it that made me stop playing CV1 for the first time. XD

Same for me. It forced me to learn how to get through level 4 without dying to hold onto that holy water. Killing him just gives you such a great sense of revenge.  >:(
