Title: Hardest Boss You Ever Fought!
Post by: Klyde on March 15, 2016, 10:24:53 PM
Looking to see what everyone thought was the hardest video game boss ever, came to mind while replaying some Metal Gear Rising and with that being said I would choose Senator Armstrong from Jetstream Sam's DLC on Revengence difficulty. Choose this fight over the core fight because hes far more aggressive in the DLC, that's not to say hes easy in the main game but he is relentless in the DLC fight.

So whats yours?

Definitely the four boss hellhole you have to pass in Cave Story. I consider them all one boss since you can not save in between them.


If you've never played Cave Story...
..it's a platforming bullet hell/shoot em' up (Like Metroid but WAAAY harder.) about these bunny people called Mimiga that are being threatened by the main antagonist, the Doctor (No, not the timelord. Sorry Doctor Who fans.). He wants to use these red coloured flowers as a steroid on the Mimiga so he can use them in the ranks of his army. A lot to take in, isn't it?


I've still yet to beat them, unfortunately. I'm not the best at video games, but I still love them! <:^D

like the bloody, giant anti magic robot guy in the second time you visit the Aladdin world in kingdom hearts. I remember being stuck on this boss for weeks because I relied HEAVILY on magic to keep my alive D: I never did beat it, I was trying to but my dog ran by and knocked down my ps2 D: killing it completely. so I never had a chance to try again.

Aec'Letec from Baldur's Gate: Tales from the Sword Coast. Nothing else compares for me. That fight is pure evil. The demonknight in Durlag's Keep was bad, and the werewolf boss fight atop the shipwreck was extremely painful. But Aec'Letec? Holy crap he takes the cake.


That game came out in 1999, and I still haven't come across a boss anywhere near as painful. Considering all the gaming I do, that is a huge statement.

For me I would have to say the final boss in ninja gaiden 2 (all three? Stages) but that last level I just a pain of button mashing on mostly bosses... XDother then that. I would have to say no other boss really comes to mind.

One of the hardest I can think of on the top of my head is "The Emperor" from the Force Unleashed on hardest difficulty.

What the heck, that fight is just not fair.

When they first put KF2 on early access, the boss was crazy difficult compared with the other rounds. In terms of difficult bosses, that always sticks out for me. They've made the bosses match the difficulty you're playing on better now, though, so it's a hell of a lot less of a suckerpunch.



Like damn, that nerve gas attack...

Hmm - Hardest bosses?

I would says Sans but... He was a chump.

I otherwise can't think of any bosses that were exceedingly 'hard' as such, more annoying than anything. That said I'd have to go with the final boss of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 - that damned attack helicopter when you (and potentially your co-op partner) are stuck in a tennis court.


That fight sucked, especially on Professional mode where the slightest breeze from the explosive rockets it fired sent you hurtling back to the start of the fight.   >.>

Alduin from Skyrim but only because my game glithced out and made him invincible. So I was fighting him for over half an hour not doing any damage and getting wrecked.

The Fire Demon in Dark Souls. Yes, it's a reskin of the two other demons at the Undead prison, but I am always getting caught on something and that  side AoE just about one shots me every time The frontal AoE is easy, but that side AoE is insanely difficult to avoid.

Dark Souls 2's Royal Rat Authority is also my bane, simply because of toxic BS. Four small rats that you need to be able  to take down in one move, otherwise, you are pretty much screwed. This fight isn't difficult once you manage to do that, but this would be better without the cheap cheese.

This wasn't necessarily a boss, but that battle leading up to the boss of Serious Sam BFE...


To quote the titular character, "Oh **censor**!"

The hardest boss I've faced in any game was undoubtedly Mother Brain on the hardest difficulty in Metroid Zero Mission. Double damage from enemies, half the strength to pickups, a two tile platform with acid beneath and attacks coming from all sides. One slip up and you're taking a hell of a lot of damage, which you can't afford too often.

My friend and I didn't realize the enemy spawning was infinite until we'd had a literal mountain of bodies behind us and they just kept coming...


A very hard boss was Letho and the Kayran. So first you verse the Kayran which takes up to 15 minutes to kill and every one of its hits is instant kill so you have to avoid all it's attacks. Then immediately after a cutscene you have to verse Letho whose even harder and almost impossible to land a hit on! Took me a lot of time to defeat those bosses.

Dear lord, Zeromus from Final Fantasy IV is a freaking pain in the ass to handle. Not only
Does he have his signature "Big Bang" attack that hits the whole party to 1000-2000 damage, he also uses flare to kill a survivor so basically that person is gone from the whole battle, you don't even have time to revive dead party members, you don't have enough time before he uses Big Bang again

You want hard? try going solo against the Raid bosses in Borderlands 2. I mean, you will get SO FRUSTRATED.

The spawning is not infinite, actually. It's just a hell of a lot.


The pile of bodies thing is normal for that game. XD

Hardest Boss I remember was the Metal Head Leader at the end of Jak 2, he hardly gave you time to aim, camera was disorienting, and occasionally I lost track of him by a glitch. His form changes certainly made it more difficult. I only beat him after deciding to play through all three Jak games after our internet went out for a bit. Come to think about it I only made it to him because a game breaking glitch didn't kick in. XD

The hardest boss fight I've won (with appropriate gear) was probably the Expert mode Mechanical bosses in Terraria. For the gear that I had (A yoyo and basic hardmode gear), it was very difficult given their damage and health boost.
Plantera was almost cheese and Golem was super easy.

Either that or WoF with pre-hardmode summoner gear only.

I have a tie:
Final Fantasy 13- Barthandelus' first fight.
Kingdom Hearts 2 FM (critical level 1 challenge)- Like, every boss and scripted fight after the first trip to the Olympus Coliseum. So far, it's been Barbosa, Oogie Boogie, and Demyx.

I just remembered, this old game I used to play on the Xbox original.. called "Gungriffon Allied Strike" the whole game was pretty much its own boss in a way..... there was no tutorial level and straight from the beginning no explination of what was going on.... each level became more and more imposible as the game went on..... I think it took me about a year of constant trial and error before I got to the final mission.... and dear lord that was sheer hell in game form!!!!!  D:    If you even managed to get to the final "boss" (basically just a giant missile launcher that would only appear after countless waves of almost suicidal mech pilots) ... I bought that game back in 2007 I think, and I still haven't managed to complete it!! I tried several times last year and still couldn't do it!! If any of you furs like a serious challenge you should definatly play this game.... it WILL break you..... XD

After playing through about a third of Dark souls 3, only about 2 bosses have given me genuine trouble. And that's the dancer, and the freaking abyss watchers. In dark souls games im so bad at fighting the bosses that are about normal size and quick, they just destroy me.

Barthandelus' first fight was sooooo long. It wasn't all that fun either :/ Personally Cid Raines gave me more issues, but at least that was a little more involved. I agree with you on KH2 Final Mix. Critical mode is already a major step up in difficulty so attempting it all at level one sounds insane XD


I'm surprised no one has mentioned any boss from the shin megami tensei series. I just got SMT IV and holy cow the minotaur boss, one of the game's first bosses was quite a pain. It had some AWESOME battle music though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cSbof7Pik (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cSbof7Pik)

Speaking of Shin Megami Tensei... The final boss in persona 3 and every little challenge boss is so punishing. I can honestly say ill never beat those challenge things, and the final boss took me forever.

Agreed! I've been playing through persona 3 portable off and on for years now and I've just recently made it to the final month, but the floor bosses are toughhhhhh

Wait till you get to the final boss, It's insane. I originally started on the portable version but then after i beat that one i tried it out on ps2 for the FES ending, which is worth watching on youtube if you dont have a ps2 to play it. Or if you just dont have the patience. And after all that theres these little challenge bosses that will murder you.

Thanks for the heads up! I bought the FES version years ago, but it got scratched to oblivion :(


I would love to try it out again sometime though even with the gameplay being more difficult since you can't directly control party members.


Thought of another boss that's difficult, but mostly because there's so many bugs in the instance it's hard to get through it!
Mordremoth in the Heart of Thorns Expansion for Guild wars 2
Holy cow it took me 3 or 4 attempts that each took up to half an hour because of the mini-bosses before it that you can't skip. Then you have to hope nothing breaks during your actual fight with him where plenty can go wrong. It's a bummer too because the encounter is actually pretty enjoyable and cool, but the glitches and bugs totally ruin it :(
