The method for getting to the magical weak spot, although a clever trick, seemed relatively bland when compared to jumping up and catching the wing of a bird bigger than a house and then crawling along it as it soars thousands of feet in the air, trying to avoid losing your grip and plummeting into the water so you can stab it in the motherfucking head.
Compared to that, the final boss, with his stationary "I'm a tower!" theme, seemed weak to me, but YMMV.
Granted, that bird was pretty ridiculous. I still can't beat him in time trial, although I haven't really logged any hours trying. I thought the sheer magnitude of that last guy was what was so ridiculous. Sure, he was a stationary tower tossing fireballs at you from the edge of the world but you hadn't climbed up anything that massive all game. The snake in the sand who you had to make crash into the wall was pretty awesome, and the other one that was just insane was the flying boss in the desert, for whom you had to shoot his air bags to get him to drop and then go climb up him and stab away. I love that game.
