In FFX, you fight this flying thing on the top of your ship, and you don’t have Yuna for the fight.
In replays, this wasn’t so tough, bit the first time I played this game, me and my friends were stuck for weeks.
Seymour Flux. I got stuck on that one for a week.
Eggman on this sonic game I had on my Nintendo ds. Shit was fucked. I never won and am forever a loser because of it. One day imma emulate it and reclaim my honour.
First time fighting Lothric/Lorian in Dark Souls 3. I was playing a mage which was not it for the fight. Also the runback was about a minute which really ramped up my hatred for the fight. On ng+ after a respec to greatsword wielder, that fight is painfully easy. Greatsword effortlessly hits Lothric’s hitbox while he’s on Lorian’s back which trivializes it, but I didn’t know that on first playthrough.
There’s a lift right at the side of the main entrance into the bossfight arena that cut down the runback time. You can just rest at the dragonslayer armour and then take the lift up right to the entrance, skipping the annoying stairs of enemies.
Yeah, I know. The runback is still nearly a minute.
As a kid I beat the vampires in Illusion of Gaia as Will. Didn’t realize you could change.
Wow, I gave up trying to beat it a few months ago because it was too hard to get past them. I was playing as Will
Okay, i’m gonna name one that might raise some eyebrow.
Halflight, Spear of the Church from Dark Souls 3 Ringed City. I know i know, but i can explain. I’m doing a knife only, no summon run, i mainly use Brigand Twindagger for everything, and occasionally Bandit’s Knife for anything susceptible to bleed, and it’s quite a good run, beating anything with varying difficulty, and even Demon Prince were defeated with a knife, then comes Halflight, Weeb of the Church. Technically it isn’t a hard one because it’s basically vs an npc invader, but the difficult came from the constantly spawning Guardian that’s also do healing and also using a knife, and also the long reaching and parrying weeb sword of Halflight. I couldn’t get past this one no matter how much i try, it’s the most difficult “easy” fight i’ve ever did on this run, where the second most difficult one is…Deacon of the Deep.
Great Wolf Sif because I can’t bring myself to kill a loyal pupper who is trying to save me.
For me it was Psycho mantis from Metal Gear Solid. The reason being that I didn’t understood English at the time, so it was literally an impossible boss. I got frustrated with it and abandoned the game, until I found a translated version of it and replayed it and he’s actually very easy if you know what you need to do.
Saving the VIP on Veteran at the end of Modern Warfare. I spent 4 hours, 4 HOURS trying to save that guy. Not a traditional boss but a boss nontheless
Probably Malenia, but she’s beatable. Definitely had a tougher time learning her than Freide, Gael, Artorias, Manus, Fume Knight, or Ivory King etc.
Maleficent in Kingdom Hearts 1.
Oh my god. I tried everything. Every potion combo, every magic combo, every adjustment of Donald and Goofy to make them heal or damage. Never beat her. And never beat the game.
And before that is the fight against Riku with that hours long unstoppable cutscene. “You’ll never take Kairi’s heart!”
I still have every single line of that “Kairi’s inside me” cutscene memorized, because it was so extremely long and was immediately before the hardest story boss fight in the game. I felt like I was throwing myself against a brick wall with how many times I had to retry that Riku fight.
In comparison, the second Maleficent (dragon) fight was a breeze. I spanked her in like two or three tries, max.
Most people agree that Hollow Bastion is where the difficulty actually spikes. Before then, most bosses won’t really give you any trouble as long as you’re properly leveled. But Hollow Bastion is what separates the “easy” section of the game from the “hard” section.
Having seen the game played, I know the difficulty stabilizes itself around that point.
Artorias… hardest one SO FAR
In DS1? Great boss! Worthy title
Yes indeed. I took out Manus in 3 attempts, but man Artorias… that took me a while lol
That fuckin guy on the church roof in dark souls dlc.
I’m still stuck on him
I don’t remember there being a boss on a church roof in the DLC for Dark Souls. Do you remember the name, or description?
He starts out in a wheelchair, if I remember. (You know what, I might be thinking of Bloodborne, one of the optional bosses)
Ah okay yeah I think that’s probably Bloodborne.
Those lyonel from BOTW and TOTK are some real fuckers
For me, it was in Last of Us, >!when you walk through the door and get caught in the rope trap, then have to shoot the zombies upside-down.!<
I had to go through that entire animation over and over and over. It made me hate the game. I played a little bit more after finally making it through, but my heart wasn’t in it and I just stopped after a while.
Lavos. :(
