Dungeon Bosses you wish would just shut up

So out of all bosses we have in the game, which one(s) would you say are the most annoying or nails-on-chalkboard voice? No insult to the VAs, but just curious to see where you all stand.
For me….RILIS especially in BC2.
No one cares about the guy who hums off key. Just SHUT UP

    Most dungeon bosses, the one you mentioned, the main villian of scrivinger's hall to name a few.

    Where exactly does their over-confidence stem from? They would not be so arrogant if they knew who or what the Vestige is.

    Yup! Keeper Cirion and High Kinlord Rilis blather on and on and on. They are less like mortal enemies and more like two old British blaber-mouths, in an overblown, highly unctuous British tone, going "You Blah blah blah blah blah" "Oh really? Blah blah blah blah blah!" Back and forth endlessly.

    Glad I'm not alone in likening Keeper Cirion and High Kinlord Rilis to cats scratching on a blackboard.

    That said, I'd also like to give voicing kudos where due. I love the haunting taunting voice of the Whisperer as you progress through Spindleclutch I. And the voicing of the harvester boss in Vaults of Madness ("Tearing your soul out never fails to amuse me, Gasteau. I'll return it to you. . . eventually.")

    Rilis in BC2 and the Whisperer in Spindleclutch. There's just something annoying about disembodied voices yelling in my ear.

    Not a boss exactly, but back when I did vMA for the first, time, I really got sick to death of hearing Fa-Nuit-Hen announce 'let's hope this time it's more of a contest!'. Would have loved to get my hands on that little runt.

    Honestly, I don’t mind any of the bosses. However, I genuinely wish that we had the option to skip dialogue during some parts of the dungeon quests where the NPC you need to talk to decides to have a full conversation with someone else. Looking at you, Keeper Cirion…

    Part of the problem with BC2's dialogue is that current DPS numbers mean there's basically no breaks between the lines, so they just keep. coming. at. you.

    "Vaults of Madness" has the most annoying boss in the entire game. I just want to stab my ears out every single time I hear her voice (the female Nord boss who opens 3 gates).

    10% as long, I swear I spend like 5-10 times as long waiting for them to finish their dialogue (for the umpteenth time) than I do actually fighting the enemies.

    Apart from DSA, blessed crucible definitely needs a skip dialogue option. Waiting for the dialogue to finish in that dungeon is minimum half the run time of the dungeon.

    No disrespect to the VAs and design team, but after hearing the dialogue enough times to complete the sticker book entirely (and more), being forced to sit through it every single time when it takes longer to wait for that, than the actual combat is just boring at that point.

    I have to confess that Kinlord Rilis in BC1 is actually my favorite boss dialoguein the game, especially at the end. I always wait around to hear it. “Oh, I do so love to see magic. Is that what this is?“ and “Oh, my, it looks like you’ve won!” 😂
