Re: What is the hardest BOSS in a game?

The only bosses I've ever had trouble with were:
- The last boss in the Cavern of Chaos (Or Dream Den, which ever one is more notoriously hard) in Pikmin 2
- Seymour's second-to-last form in FFX ('cause I'm an idiot)
- Sephiroth in KH
- The final boss of Persona 3
- Final boss in Turok 2 (god damn regenerating health)

oh my god lego racers was amazing for n64. I played the hell out of that game

and yes I beat it. the space level was the hardest one for me.

never really had trouble with bosses besides cases where it was my fault for not properly leveling my characters

Yeah hes not so hard but it takes some time to kill him...
Thermal Googles, NVG and that Sound capturing system are good when he takes a nap =DD

The End is the easiest boss ever. Save, turn of console for a fortnight, when you get back, he's already dead. :tongue:


I know but consider the End's harder way to beat...
Ive beaten MGS3 for 12 times and it is not fake =D

I heard that KILLZONEs Radeck is hard .. Hes a piece of cake (NORMAL) the games all easy i think

Kill him with banshee. Easy mode.


:scared:

No way. You can't get that thing in there. Not even if you take it's wings off! I could've sworn I tried that MANY times.

I think Zeromus from FFIV was a lot harder, but that would still be dependant of how high-leveled your characters are.


Yay! Paladin!

Killzone's Rednecks are hard indeed.
A boss that I will hate forever is that pigdisgusting evil Pig from Diddy Kong Racing, Don't quite remember his name but F*CK! Racing against him was rage worthy.

Yes, you can. Takes some clever trickery.

The shotty kills Tartarus in like 5 minutes.

Also, RE3 Nemesis is NOT hard. Every boss has some sort of pattern usually, and he has one. Run past his right arm, since he grabs with the left every time. And besides, you can dodge in that game. How can you possibly die from anything in that game?

And Sephiroth on KH is easy. Like I said, patterns. Try beating him with the Kingdom Key. It's much harder.

Bosses I find to be annoying is Sigma from MegaMan X6 (because he fills the screen with attacks and his stage is a b*tch to get through without losing health), a lot of later bosses in Ninja Gaiden Black (specifically Phantom Doku and Alma), Mr. X's final form on RE2's second scenario (he's about 10x faster than you and deals twice the damage), Nitrous Oxide from Crash Team Racing (mess up once and you lose), Nobunaga from Onimusha 3 (he has multiple forms and his life bar refills each form), and Ballos from Cave Story (4 forms, each has it's own life bar, each increases in difficulty, and getting through Sacred Ground to get to him nearly drains you of any weapons and health unless you're skilled).

R4L's post reminded me, I could never get past Double in Megaman X4.

I never beat Smithy in Super Mario RPG. Although beating him was probably a matter of doubling back to do some level up grinding, and I couldn't be f'd.

Mario RPG was awesome as hell but definitely not easy.

In legend od Dragoon there was this big jewel thing, you couldn't use your dragoon powers in the battle, pretty messed up.
Ultima weapon in FFVIII, brrr
In Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon for the SNES (I love that game) there's a boss which get bigger and bigger and fills up about the whole screen at the end. You have to take some dmg here, and the game has a small life bar, so you've got to get to the point without losing that much hp.
in Unirally (or uniracers) the ghostrider or something can use trickmoves, as in making the track invisible, or mirroring the screen. The racing levels can get impossible this way (but only if he uses the right moves, and that's random, so sometimes it'll be very easy since he's not that good.)
Fighting Force for the PSX had a boss you could only hit by throwing barrels, but you can only walk real slow with those and the guy has some ranged attacks, I don't think I ever beat him (there were different paths, I just chose the other path :laugh: )
The old Final Fantasies had some bosses that really needed some grinding to be beaten

Elaborate please.

And where do you get a shotgun on that level? None of the brutes in the Canyon have it. I really don't know how you got a hold of that...

Another from Persona 3... The Table Boss in Tartarus (Forgot the name, yes).

No elemental weaknesses, had some decent resistances, and he could spam an attack that hits everybody for un-blockable non-elemental damage. Roughly for 200-300 damage. It took me more tries to beat this boss than any other in recent memory.
