As always relevant XKCD
I was gonna say Papu Papu but this guy wins.
Is that Linerider?
Ski Free. Came with most installs of Windows 3.0 back in the day.
When the player passes the 2,000-meter mark, the Abominable Snowman appears and starts to chase the player, eating them when it catches them.
Lies of P - nameless puppet. I choose the other ending on my first run, so my first time facing him was in ng+. Not sure if that made it harder, but yeah, that one was rough
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
Still haven’t beaten Owl in Sekiro. Only Fromsoft game in the genre I haven’t finished because I can’t kill my fuckin’ dad. 😭
Ahhh keep going, really experiment with creating different openings for attacks. Such a great fight. And then (maybe spoilers, not sure? You probably already know that fromsoft games often have different endings / paths) figure out how to have an even harder version of that fight
Demon of Hatred also took me absolutely ages. Days. But it’s optional so really I only have myself to blame.
For me the answer is probably Malenia from Elden Ring. Took so long learning all of her moves and still only made it through by summoning the mimic for phase 2
Sekiro had several of the hardest bosses for me. God I love that game.
Great Wolf Sif because I can’t bring myself to kill a loyal pupper who is trying to save me.
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.
In Chrono Cross, when entering Time Fortress Chronopolis, you immediately encounter the PolisPolice. This isn’t framed by the game as a boss encounter, but it is.
There is a design problem with this boss that you probably wouldn’t see in a more modern RPG. To survive its big attack, you need the White Plate to absorb white-based magic attacks. You get the White Plate by stealing it from the Sky Dragon. If you already fought the Sky Dragon and forgot to steal at the time, you are hosed. The game doesn’t let you go back and redo that, and the PolisPolice encounter is about 2/3rds of the way through the game–very late to be starting over again.
I replayed that encounter 20 times before I finally lucked out on the attack cycle to keep the party alive. Then I encountered the actual hardest boss: a disc scratch that prevented the game from continuing towards the very end.
Reminds me of the time in a Pokemon game when a friend of mine caught Latias in one go only for the game to immediately freeze afterward with no explanation.
Vermivorous the Invincible in Borderlands 2. First of all getting it to spawn…
Artorias… hardest one SO FAR
Moldorm - The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past (https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/Moldorm_(A_Link_to_the_Past) )
This f’ing guy was hours of work to beat. Still the most annoying game boss ive ever encountered!
I hate this guy!! Worst thing is from what I remember his health gets fully restored whenever he knocks you down
Yeah, you have to be perfect and not get knocked off, otherwise its back to square one. Super annoying. But it does feel like a real accomplishment when you finally beat him!
The snake boss in Nioh 2. My friend kept coming back that day to say, “You haven’t killed it yet?!”
Sword Saint Isshin is not the hardest fromsoft boss. IMO he’s not even the hardest boss in Sekiro. But he might just be the boss design GOAT.
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!”
Having seen the game played, I know the difficulty stabilizes itself around that point.
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.
That fuckin guy on the church roof in dark souls dlc.
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.
I’m still stuck on him
