talking. To elaborate:
** The Line is a borderline PuzzleBoss who is a significant DifficultySpike compared to the two that came before him. His first phase requires you to bust through three layers of highly durable shields that can reflect your shots. After that, he'll start pulling out tricky attacks that saturate the screen with bullets and waves, including bullets that spawn around you - many of which require you to destroy stationary pillars that have a deceptive amount of health. He's no slouch in direct combat either, utilizing TeleportSpam to throw you off and employing wide-reaching shockwave attacks, alongside saturating his battlefield with lingering shots to hinder your movement. On top of that, his arena is surrounded by a barrier that reflects any stray shots inwards, upping the bullet density by a lot. This all culminates in his final phase, listed under ThatOneAttack above.
** The Burst, who has garnered infamy as possibly the hardest boss in the main story. In her first few phases, she'll be invisibly sniping you from certain points of the map, while [[FlunkyBoss summoning hordes of drones]] (which use either wide spreads or fast homing shots) and landmines to hinder your progress. When you track her down, if you don't tag her with a direct hit quickly, she'll just go invisible and teleport to another point in the map, wasting your time - and if you can't find cover before her sniper rifle goes off, it's the only attack in the game that is an invariable OneHitKill. When forced into close combat, The Burst threatens with an extremely wide range of attacks which all require tight reflexes, including BulletHell (some of which is homing and/or needs you to parry the shots), shockwaves, minion spam, fast melee combos that incorporate TeleportSpam, manipulation of the arena to limit your movement, rotating laser arrays, and even straight-up trying to snipe you at close range. After you've fought through five health bars of this, The Burst unleashes her final attack (also listed above in ThatOneAttack), a brutally difficult onslaught that assails you from all directions with shockwaves that have barely any time in between them and a tendency to overlap, along with periodic sniping attacks that force you to navigate behind cover before she one-shots you. And she ''still'' has a close-quarters segment after that, which isn't too bad, but can easily take out a player who's at critical health and tired out from her prior barrage.
** The Edge, fought right after The Burst, is similarly revered but for a different reason. You're forced to fight him at melee range, and while he has no BulletHell as a result, all his melee attacks come out insanely quickly and deal huge amounts of damage, with each blow shearing off roughly a third of your health (meaning a full combo is liable to one-shot you). Not only do his different combos have very subtle differences in telegraphs, he also incorporates very fast wave attacks that need quick dodges and deal ''5 bars of damage'' if they connect. He does have [[GlassCannon a lot less health]] than the other bosses, but he's also lightning-quick to the point where you only have very brief windows to actually hit him. Once he hits half health, things get even more hectic, as he [[ImprobableWeaponUser switches his sword for an oar]], [[UnexpectedGameplayChange turns the fight into a 2D fighting game]], and starts using improved attacks with less readable telegraphs and notable staggered blows to throw you off. If your parry game isn't well-trained, you're dead before the fight even begins.
** [[spoiler:The Star]], for the opposite reason as The Edge. You fight them in a mech suit that can only use ranged attacks and also suffers from slightly awkward dodge and parry timing. And while the boss doesn't have any melee attacks outside of occasionally sending AttackDrones at you, they dial the bullet hell [[UpToEleven beyond any of the other bosses in the game]], with virtually every single attack filling the entire screen with bullets, waves, and lasers, either from themselves or the four respawning drones that accompany them, consequently giving them a tendency to overlap into almost undodgeable patterns. Because ranged attacks are blocked by bullets (particularly indestructible ones), you'll find yourself relying on the mech's WaveMotionGun ChargedAttack to do most of your damage, which renders you slow and vulnerable. Finally, because there's virtually no melee combat (and thus nothing to parry), there's pretty much no opportunity to heal up throughout the entire fight, which bites you particularly hard in the later, hardest phases.

** On the opposite side of the spectrum there's [[CombatPragmatist The Burst]] and [[MirrorBoss The Edge]] whom are frequently considered to be ThatOneBoss for several players, their status however actually makes quite a bit of sense InUniverse. The Burst has already viewed all of The Stranger's battles against the previous jailers, performs a total scan of him and deliberately set up her entire arena, all to give herself the upper hand. She's littered said arena with AttackDrones and mines all the while cloaked under camouflage and taking shots at you from afar with a sniper rifle. In addition, she displays the ability to have some control over her arena itself, raising the individual [[HighTechHexagons hexagons]] making up the area in order to close you off and limit your room to dodge. Taking all of the above into account with the added fact that she's already a fairly good fighter, it only makes sense that she would be such a challenge.

** Killing a boss without taking any hist at all. You can't just be good or excellent, you have to defeat the whole boss without ever getting hit. It's really easy to mess a single parry on the whole fight, or accidentally dodging at the wrong place. The fact that the boss the most often fought for this trophy is [[ThatOneBoss The Edge]] really says something, simply because he's one of the shortest boss to fight, which means less opportunities to screw up.

** Bernard is THE biggest challenge of the game. But since he's the final boss from the DLC and can only be fought on Furier, that is to be expected. What sends him into this territory is the fact that he mimicks every boss of the game one after another, which means the previous ThatOneBoss are back. Unsurprisingly, the phase where he mimicks The Line and The Edge (and more surprisingly, The Hand and The Song, to a lesser extent) are this trope.
