    Default Which Boss (Main Antagonist) Death was the most enjoyable?

    We have had three main antagonists of Gears of War in the series. We had the infamous train finale with General RAAM which was impossible even on Casual. Then we had the cinematic battle in both the Queen's Chamber and the race to Jacinto with the High Priest Skorge, in which he died falling off his Hydra below. Then we had Queen Myrrah and her Tempest mount. Impossible on insane mode, you had to battle Myrrah's overgrown dragon beetle as Adam prepped the Imulusion Countermeasure. And it ended with the Tempest dying and Queen Myrrah giving one more speech before Marcus driving Dom's commando knife in her chest in the avengement of Dom and the millions of deaths caused by her.

    So, now that the series is over, which death of these heavy hitters made you hold your hands up in victory and sat back while the son of a ***** died a painful death. So, who is it?

    Myrrah. The battle with her on insane was really... INSANE!
    I couldn't believe I actually did it for about 2 days, i think. Incredible satisfaction.
    That bi***ch was tough! The hardest boss fight i ever had.
    After that Raam on insane seemed like a pushover
    But i like Raam most as a level boss. Charisma and confidence of a tank

    I think the majority will say RAAM. That SOB was so hard to take down. Took me a good while to finally kill him.

    RAAM. I killed him easily in single player on insane because dom got down between the barrels and the other cover and RAAM was glithched out in the same spot trying to climb over dom, lol.

    Definitely General RAAM. That guy was pretty much impossible for me to kill on insane but I finally got him on insane on solo. I was super excited.

    I can't decide between RAAM or Myrrah. I'm speaking of the battles on Insane difficulty because every other difficulty was eh...
    The only reason I beat RAAM on Insane in Gears of War 1 was because he got stuck on Dom while he was down. Then in Co-Op, my friend beat it.
    The Queen on Insane was IMPOSSIBLE! I don't know how anyone can beat it, without mutators. I beat it on insane with 4 player Co-Op with mutators.
    The only reason it's hard is because of the Palace Guards shooting at you while you're trying to avoid the Tempest's heat breath.

    I can't decide because even though I beat RAAM by myself on Insane, it was because of the glitch, and the only reason I beat Queen Myrrah was because of mutators and the other 3 players.

    Skorge was my only disappointment. Just seemed so 'by the numbers'. Well maybe Myrah too. I vote Raam. You never forget your first time

    It's hard to beat the first encounter with RAAM solo on insane. Don't get me wrong, Myrah was tough as h3ll solo on insane, but the feeling I got (on the original Gears) was something I hold to be unmatched!

    Skorge was a joke.

    I would say Skorge, but Epic screwed him up beyond human belief. Ez mode boss battle and a joke of a death. I mean, he hit his head on a rock... really, Epic? Really?

    In terms of difficulty, RAAM.

    In terms of a true boss battle, Queen Myrrah.

    I've done it Alone and without any mutators.
    Although i tought it was really impossible Took me about 3 or 4 hours.
    2/3 of a battle was easy, but the palace gurads were real showstoppers
    Can't really describe the satisfaction i had when this was over!

    RAAM sucked. I killed the queen solo on insane easy. Its harder with more people... RAAM was next to immpossible.

    Queen Myrrah for me...so satisfying to watch Marcus shove Dom's knife into her...EPIC. Loved it.
    Defeating RAAM was very satisfying as well though...but my vote goes for myrrah

    Both RAAM and Myrrah were really difficult to me, and very satisfying.

    EDIT: I voted RAAM.

    Raam, I felt like his battle was the hardest but I enjoyed finally beating him
    Myrah was challenging on solo insane but never seemed impossible plus I got ghost protocol skin out of it
    Skorge was total disappointment

    I can't decide RAAM will always be a classic in my mind loved everything about it. But the fact that since Gears 1 I was waiting for Dom to use his chest knife the fact that Marcus stabbed Myrrah with it was just perfect. The flying battle with Skorge was cool but the fact he just fell off and broke his neck was a little lame. So either RAAM or Myrrah for me

    I'd vote for Skorge, if only because of how hilarious his death was to begin with.

    RAAM got filled with lead and fell dramatically. I actually liked his defeat in RAAM's Shadow, t'was epic yet satisfying seeing him all bloodied up and stuck.

    The Tempest looks like it just kinda flew into a bug zapper and fell over. Myrrah crawled out, kicked the dog while it was down and got what she had it coming. Satisfying boss battle and all, 'specially when you do it legit on Insane, but not my favorite death.

    Skorge danced around a room while throwing everything imaginable at the time at you, somehow couldn't overpower Marcus despite beating Tai in an earlier chainsaw duel, then his Hydra just kinda flew into pair of flying Silverbacks repeatedly until it went splat all over the ground and finally made sure Skorge would never get that refund at the Chiropractor's Office.

    RAAM on Insane...I ended up with no more blasphemy to say after the 100th try...XD
    Then when I've killed him,it was like I won the Superbowl,or the Footbal World Cup...I was there pumping my hands in the air and yelling like a silly drunken man...guys,this was one of the best moment of my player life...and also,one of the best enemy I've ever faced...

    If I'm honest, RAAM's. While I love Gears 2, Skorge's battle was a little lacking in the challenge department. Myrrah was kind of challenging but the cutscene of her dying sucked, in my opinion.

    I love the RAAM battle on Insane, but seeing Myrrah suffering after beating her on Insane was much more satisfying.

    Personally speaking, RAAM was the hardest on Insane mode for me.

    I only lucked out when the glitch occurred which causes him to walk endlessly into one of the concrete blocks happened by accident and he stopped advancing on me.

    RAAM was the hardest and most rewarding. Skorge was visually fun to battle but not the most challenging. Myrahh was the worse. It was basically a stretched out "hold 'em off" mission.

    Most enjoyable and most satisfying arent always the same. Finally smoking RAAM on insane was the most satisfying coz Dom's AI is a complete dickhead in that fight and RAAMs troika tears you a new one in secs but it wasnt the most enjoyable coz I like RAAM alot.
    The most enjoyable was either Myyrah getting an up close and personal, almost intimate death. That ****cow deserved a proper beating
    If it counts tho the Brumak that gets iced when cole shouts "gobble gobble mother****er" was the funniest

    General RAAM. The time when he glitched on Insane I restarted the chapter to beat him without abusing the glitch.
    Skorge was a joke, don't even know where to begin ranting about his ridiculous death and battle.
    For me the only reason Myrrah was hard to defeat was because of the Shriekers and the Palace Guards creating even more chaos.
    RAAM was definitely the most special boss to me, as lame as it sounds.

    gears 2 ending was a complete joke... Finished the first time, couldn't believe it. Gears 3 ending took me a few weeks on insane, solo, no mutators... Going back and re-playing campaign with super reload and 2 hard mutators, shouldn't even count for the achievement lol. Was a BEOTCH the first time, took me hours upon hours. Replayed it with super reload, beat it first time, no sweat, never had an issue. No mutators, that's no joke of a boss battle, especially first time playing through. I finished solo, no mutators, before going to the co-op and arcade modes. Some of the parts were pretty damn hard first time.

    But we all know the truly hardest boss battle were the Reavers on top of the train on Insane on gears 1. RAAM was easy and quite a relieve after that one..

    Beating RAAM. I felt more variation in how I could tackle him than Skorge (Skorge was pretty boring, especially his ground fight). Also, I felt the battle was a lot cooler when Baird, Cole, and Hoffman came to help. Myrrah was awesome but I felt more badass killing RAAM because there wasn't a cutscene of Marcus doing anything. Once you shot RAAM, he died. Felt more accomplished I guess!

    Barely knew Skorge, but **** him because he captured Tai and drove him to kill himself. I'll gladly trade the next 10 generations of Carmines for Tai back.
    Extremely pleased to see RAAM die for the obvious reasons.
    Myrrah... it felt satisfying to kill the leader of the Locust. Just wish we knew some more back story D:
