Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls. The series have plenty of difficult boss fights but this one is earlier than most and the biggest difficulty spike in the entire game IMHO.

Outside of the Souls games, there’s Lil’ Hunter from Nuclear Throne. I tried to beat this little trashcan SO many times and succeeded only once. It’s insane.

Also shout-out to Hush from the Binding of Isaac for almost giving me a heart attack when I was fighting it as the tainted lost. Never again.

I hope more people with niche interests will come to Lemmy - this is the only use case for this kind of social media for me, and Lemmy’s a bit lacking in this regard.

But yeah, I’m not looking forward to those redditors who assume everyone’s a cis man and stuff :\

The game expects you to figure stuff out on your own so I recommend to take it slow and look closely at what data is available to you. (Or just finding a guide that explains elemental damage and items if you don’t wanna do this)

The game’s system is simpler than it seems and it’s very rewarding to finally learn and master it.

Me and Lunacid. Immediately started a new playthrough after 100%-ing it.
