With Dimensius, Blizzard seems to have created a masterpiece in World of Warcraft. Many praise it as the best fight of all time.
Boss fights in World of Warcraft are always a bit of a surprise – you never quite know what you’re going to get. While the fight against King Ansurek received a lot of praise, the final confrontation with Gallywix was a bit disappointing. But now it seems Blizzard has hit the jackpot with Dimensius.
The community praises the boss fight against Dimensius, and many are sure that it is not only the best fight in World of Warcraft but one of the best in the history of all MMOs.
What makes the fight so special? Even before the patch was released, Dimensius caused quite a stir. He is a boss like no other in World of Warcraft. This is not only because he is the first Void Lord we can finally fight after over 20 years, but also due to his sheer size. He towers over cities in WoW and is the largest boss of all time.
Furthermore, the fight has a lot of mechanics, many of which can result in an immediate death of your character. Because pretty much every mistake will be punished with a swift end in the belly of Dimensius. He is very hungry.
Additionally, you should definitely listen to the game’s music during this boss fight. Because the soundtrack of Dimensius is reminiscent of the coolest fights from the “Final Fantasy” saga, and you really feel like you are battling a godlike being.
This is how the community discusses it: In the WoW subreddit, the fight against Dimensius is praised from many angles. The player Siggythenomad wanted to express his enthusiasm with a meme, stating: “I don’t mean to exaggerate, but this is the coolest boss fight that has ever occurred in the history of MMOs.”
Although many commentators temper this view a bit and suspect that most have only experience with World of Warcraft, the basic opinion remains: The fight against Dimensius is among the best that World of Warcraft has ever offered.
- “My favorite part was when my guild arrived at the boss and someone said: ‘Don’t take the portal, you’ll pull it’ and of course someone had to click the portal immediately and wipe us all.” – Joekandy
- “Lol, we all died in the first pull after 4 seconds.
This is an absolutely fantastic fight. Very creative.
I’m looking forward to doing this on mythic.” – imabout2combust - “The first pull, when you go in blind, is just amazing.
‘What’s happening here? Oh, I think we’re all dead now.'” – Pourin_Er_Right - “Some bosses in Final Fantasy XIV are still above Dimensius for me, but he’s definitely a solid 3rd place. I really enjoyed it. (…)” – Kesher123
However, some also poke fun at how many former WoW fans perceive the story and amuse themselves about it:
- “Nah, I just watch the end cinematic on YouTube without context and without playing the campaign, just to call the story boring.” – Zofren
It will be exciting to see how the fight will unfold in the LFR mode in a few weeks. Because there, most mechanics will likely be drastically simplified, so that the fight is manageable in an LFR setting.
It’s a good thing that many like the boss. Because there are some criticisms about K’aresh itself.
