Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth game in the popular horror series by Capcom, released in 2026. Players play as the new characters of Grace and Leon as they battle against a new zombie threat in Raccoon City locations such as the Care Center and underground locations. The game offers creepy chases, puzzles, and challenging battles with bosses that require your shooting and evasion skills.

In this Resident Evil Requiem guide, you'll find the rating of all bosses from easiest to hardest, from #10 to #1. But if you don't have Resident Evil Requiem, you can get it through LootBar at a discounteded price.

10. The Chef - Easiest Optional Boss

The Chef is an optional boss you can find in the kitchen of the Care Center early in the game. As Grace or Leon, you run into this big, angry cook mutated by the virus, swinging a large cleaver and guarding useful items like herbs. What makes him special is his slow speed and focus on close attacks, but he can surprise you if you get too close.

Tips To Beat The Chef:

To sneak and win without fighting, use the hemolytic injector item from behind him. This is a needle that dissolves enemies quietly.
If you choose to shoot, aim at his head with standard pistol bullets. He does not move much, so you can hit him easily.

9. The Girl (Shadow Ghost) - Puzzle Over Fight

You first meet The Girl as Grace in the basement of the Care Center, where she appears as a creepy, pale figure with long hair that floats like a ghost. She chases you in dark areas but hates bright light, making her special because the fight is more about using the environment than guns.

Start by turning on three power switches around the area while dodging her slow grabs.
Use items like floodlights or fire bottles to stun her for about 15 seconds, giving you time to move.

8. Plant 43 - Straightforward Giant Plant

Leon fights Plant 43 in the underground tunnels of Blackthorn Station. This is a reference to the old plant bosses in older Resident Evil games. It’s a big vine monster with a big mouth in the middle and slamin' vine tendrils that block the way to the ARK facility. You must destroy it in order to progress, but it regenerates quickly unless you hit its weak spots.

Tips To Beat The Plant 43:

When the tendrils slam, run left or right to avoid them. Stay moving to not get trapped.
Wait for the petals to open, then shoot the glowing mouth inside with a shotgun or machine gun for big damage.
Once it is weak, red barrels drop nearby. Shoot one to cause a chain explosion that finishes the boss.

7. Chunk - Cramped But Manageable

Chunk shows up twice in the Care Center: first as an optional fight for Grace in the East Wing, and then as a main boss for Leon in the attic. He is a fat mutant with a huge head, always eating dead bodies, which makes him special because he gets stronger if you let him feed. His attacks are slow charges and ground pounds in tight spaces.

Tips To Beat Chunk:

For Grace's version, sneak up and use three hemolytic injectors on his back for a quick kill.
In Leon's fight, grab the nearby shotgun and aim at his belly or head. Climb ladders to get above him and drop heavy objects.
Lure him under weak platforms; shooting them drops debris for extra damage.

6. Blister Borne - Pop the Cysts

Leon battles Blister Borne in the Care Center courtyard first, then again in the Sewage Facility. This boss is a large, cyst-covered human-like monster that bursts open to spawn smaller enemies called Blister Heads. What makes it special is how popping the cysts changes the fight, adding more zombies to deal with while avoiding its charges.

Tips To Beat The Blister Borne:

Keep your distance to dodge its fast charge attacks; roll sideways at the last second.
Use a shotgun or your hatchet to burst the orange cysts on its chest and back, which are weak points.
Quickly kill the spawned Blister Heads with pistol shots to prevent them from overwhelming you.

5. Titan Spinner - Mobile Spider Menace

Leon meets with the Titan Spinner in the ruins of the East Raccoon City. A huge spider-like boss with the ability to walk up walls, disappear into shadows and create other smaller spider-like creatures as attacking minions, the Titan Spinner is very quick in comparison to the arena where you must also be aware of your surroundings to possibly avoid ambush attacks from above or below you.

Tips To Beat The Titan Spinner:

Use your hatchet to quickly kill the small spiderlings before they jump on you.
Look for the orange weak spot on its butt when it hangs down; shoot it with aimed shots.
Blow up red barrels in the area to stun it and create openings for attacks.

4. Tyrant T-501 (Mr. X) - Relentless Chase Turns Fight

The Tyrant T-501, also called Mr. X, starts as a chaser in the RPD police station corridors for Leon, then becomes a full boss outside as Super Tyrant. He is a tall, coat-wearing brute that punches through walls and cannot be killed until the end.

Tips To Beat Tyrant T-501:

During the chase, run in circles around statues or hide in side rooms to lose him temporarily.
In the Super form, time your block with the hatchet to counter his tentacle rushes, then shoot the exposed heart with a shotgun.
Dodge thrown cars by sprinting away; use the environment like pillars for cover.

3. The Commander - Melee Mastery Required

Leon fights The Commander, who looks like the HUNK character from past games, in the tight corridors of the ARK facility. He is an elite soldier boss focused on close-hand combat with knives and dodges your guns. What is special is the steam phases that limit your vision, forcing you to rely on sound and quick reactions for a pure skill test.

Tips To Beat The Commander:

Time your block button just as he swings to counter and stagger him for a free hit.
Slash at his neck with your hatchet when he is open, or fire quick pistol shots if you get distance.
When steam fills the room, listen for his footsteps and follow on-screen button prompts to finish with a grab move.

2. Victor Gideon (Phase 1) - Electric Tentacle Terror

In the final act at the ARK, Leon faces Dr. Victor Gideon in his first mutated phase. He uses long tentacles and electric attacks from the Nemesis virus, controlling parts of the room. What is special is the mix of dodging ground shocks and grabbing rocket launchers to turn the tide.

Tips To Beat Victor Gideo Phase 1:

Time blocks to counter his tentacle lashes, and roll away from electric sparks on the floor.
After countering, unload bullets until he staggers, then grab the rocket launcher that appears.
Stay in the middle of the arena for better dodging space and to spot weak points faster.

1. Victor Gideon (Final Nemesis Form) - Hardest Boss

Victor's final phase turns him into a full Nemesis-like monster with pustules, sweeping arms, and grab attacks. You fight in the ARK core, where he covers the area in slime. What is special is how he adapts, growing new weak points and punishing small mistakes with huge damage.

Tips To Beat Victor Gideon Final Phase:

Shoot the glowing pustules on his body first, then the ones that appear on the ground to slow him.
Time blocks to counter his arm sweeps, and quickly press the on-screen buttons if he grabs you to escape.
For the finish, use your hatchet on the exposed core after weakening him enough.

It took me 20 tries on Insanity to master. This is the peak of Resident Evil boss design, blending everything you learned.

Conclusion

Resident Evil Requiem stands out with its varied bosses, from simple stealth kills to intense duels that reward smart play. As a pro gamer and journalist, I rank them based on fair challenges that avoid cheap tricks. Try Insanity mode for the real thrill, and always upgrade your hatchet early. With these tips, you can become a master of the game.

Hopefully this guide will help you, and if you don't already own the game, you can easily get a Resident Evil Requiem Steam key through LootBar. It is a super trustworthy platform that is also super fast and cheaper as well.
