This drawing started 2 months ago, but gladly, I've finished it, the next part of the 'Epic Final Boss' series. and also the 2nd last one of the series too.
Behold, The Mother Brain:
Super Metroid was literally a blast of a game. And it also became one of the most iconic games in the Metroid series as well.
It's objective was clear, find the baby Metroid that was stolen by Ridley, who escaped to Zebes, the planet where Samus was raised.
However, when Samus destroyed Ridley, the capsule was empty, the main objective seemed to be lost.
Once Samus entered the new Tourian and killed the newly cloned Metroids, she saw that her child metroid became one of the largest encountered, but it fled.
At the end of Tourian, Samus confronted Mother Brain, and unlike her first fight with it, She got a whole body, and was able to fight back as a beast.
Besides that, it also had an ultimate undodgeable laser attack, that keeps using it untill you're down.
The music that played on the background was really well done to show off the unbeatable horror you're facing.
And then, when Mother Brain wanted to finish you off, The gigantic metroid appeared and give Mother Brain a bit of her own taste. More or less eating the hypermode ability from Mother Brain. however, despite his tries to keep Samus save, it was at the cost of it's own life.
The objective that you've searched for during the entire game, sacrificed itself to help you defeating the final boss. that sure was a short, yet emotional moment.
Though, right at the end, you've gotten the Hyper Mode that the metroid has absorbed, and the music changed to give a mood of determination. As well as a feeling of Samus filled with wrath. Finishing off that abomination with it's own power feels truly statisfying.
The best of all is, the moment right before the Metroid has all happened without cutscenes or any sort and that it all happened in-game, Making it much more realistic to image that you've almost failed at beating the boss. which was for me a great experience.
I do remember that I've replayed the final boss from time to time just to have the feeling again of finishing off the boss thanks to the Metroid's sacrifice. And that's why It's listed as one of my most epic final bosses.
DISCLAIMER: I know Mother Brain didn't used her own Hyper Beam against the Metroid, but I've to say, she killed the Metroid with one of her weakest looking attacks, I rather preferred a massive laser
And that said, after almost 1,5 years, only one left to do. Even the these art series as this are coming to an end someday. But I don't mind too much as it gave me the inspiration to give extra details to the drawings I make.
I'll eventually do more in the future though, as there are way too many amazing boss fights to fit in the list, so no worries about that.
