my favorites would be hard to pin down... I have liked a lot of games boss fights, but my favorites aren't bosses that are particularly hard, but bosses I have found really fast/easy ways to kill, or got to the point I did the fight in ways I really shouldn't be, that really aren't supposed to be that easy, like in FF4's GBA port.

Kain's after story in the final dungeon has an interesting glitch, the final battle starts you(as Kain) vs Kain(dark) this Kain is supposed to turn into Dark Bahamut after x damage(x being like less than like 2-4 hits) the transformation takes like 2 turns because he taunts you by saying "Ha, you cannot beat me because I am"(IDR the rest atm) anyways, the fight always goes this way and bahamut is normally defeated by timing your jumps to dodge megaflare. the reward for first time completion is Abel's lance, a weapon with the power to break the game. how? well it randomly casts tornado, a spell that reduces foes to 1hp, using the actual spell is difficult, as most foes that it is useful for are immune. Abels lance, however bypasses the immunity, so 1 time while doing the Kain story again I actually killed Dark Kain, and not Dark Bahamut because tornado helped me kill him right as the d*ck said "haha, you can't kill me...."

another fun fight after I figured out how to do it was Theta's on Area 51 for original X-box, they are large HP tanks so you would figure the best way to fight them is as a human with very high DPS weapons, however the easiest way is to brutalize them with hitstun from your vampiric mutant form.

A fight against a mini-boss on star Wars "Republic Commando"(xbox) had me ask myself "wtf", when halfway through the fight against a pair of Grievous bodyguard droids after the area with a concussion rifle trap I fell off a high crate I had no idea I had got on top of(or how to get back up to) while attempting to follow and engage the droid with a full melee offensive(which is not a smart plan and very difficult as their weapons have better reach and make your screen go wonky if they hit you, yet I somehow did enough DPS that time that the droid died soon after as I retreated to the side a bit while my team hit it with the regular rifle attachment and I helped with the pistol while I recovered shields).
