It’s easy to make a video game boss that just goes through the motions. One that players will take down to zero, and never think about again. Game designers have to find some way of making a boss more compelling and memorable, and boss secrets can be a great way to do it. Boss secrets can add the little details that help tie together a game world to its characters. They can help humanize, or contextualize a boss into something more interesting. Or they can just be great for devs that want to have some fun. Let’s talk about boss secrets!
