All Time Hardest Boss

[FlyHigh]

aplogies if its been said but hardest boss of all time...

Omega Weapon of FF5

What a pain in the @$$

i had level 70 characters and all skillz / classes for everybody but
he could still pummel me time after time.

he had like 2 attacks to my 1. AND i had 4 people on team...

[Magus]

Rosencrants?? from Vagrant Story!! I put that game down 2-3 years ago without beating the last boss.

[Fallen Angel]

Im not gonna read all 34 pages right now so if this one was mentioned then I'm sorry for saying it again lol.

I don't remember his name but how about that boss character you could fight in Mario RPG that hid behind that door in Monstro Town. I haven't played the game too much but I fought him for at least an 1 or 2 before I gave up and died. From what I've heard hes SUPPOSED to be that ridiculously hard hehe.

[The Primoris]

The future is determined, but the past is forever shifting.

[Zeo]

Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts. Jesus christ..

[The Primoris]

We are only what we remember.

[Zeo]

Level 60? BULLSHIT. That's a load of crap.

How could you not like KH? :(

[The Spoony Bard]

I'll Go with Deus in Xenogears if you didnt kill all his little parts beforehand.
I only beat him once, on my first try, and now i cant even kil his friggin sub parts anymore. that pissed me off to no end.

[Cuddly PyramidHead]

Here's the post Haruspex is referring to:
I hate to break this to you, but I beat Sephiroth(KH) on my first try, at level 60. No, I'm not insane. No, I'm not lying. I used strategy. When he dove at me, I rolled under him. When he used a normal attack, I Guarded and countered. When he Sin Harvested, I used Strike Raid. By the way, even if you're too late to block Sin Harvest, still hit him with 1 Strike Raid toss. that gives you time to heal yourself because he'll burn the area around himself.

[reelmojo]

Uh. The last boss in Snake Rattle N' Roll. It's a foot that jumps around the summit of a mountain.. Yes, a foot. No matter how much you lick it, it will not die. I never finished the game.

Yes, that game was wierd. (and had kwel music).

As soon as I saw this topic I thought of Snake Rattle N' Roll, and I thought of how I never did beat it because it was so hard to follow that damned foot around in a square as it took no damage from you unless you hit it an ungodly amout of time in a row... then I saw someone already said that. I'm glad I'm not the only one who remember's the game.

EDIT: Picture in the quote didn't work anyway, so its gone now.

EDIT: [I was wrong.]

[snarfoogle]

Harry Potter and philosopher's stone. That stupid bald guy with face on neck really burnded my lil sis down. :lol:


WOW, This was my 400th message


He was kindof hard.

Well, hard for a Harry Potter game, anyway.

[Coppertop]

I know one of the most FRUSTRATING bosses I've ever fought against. The boss in Underground Zone Act 3 in Sonic 2 for Game Gear. If you've never played it, do it to understand, but I"ll describe any way.
You're on a slope. It's half on a slightly more than 45 degree angle and half 70 degrees. And on that small of a screen that's not a lot, especially since at the bottom, taking up space , is your boss. An ant-lion looking thing that you can't touch, ever. The 70 slope is the lower one, so if you go on that and aren't running away, you'll slip into the boss. How he dies is random balls (I'm not joking) bounce down the hill at various heights and speeds. Most go too high for the screen to show. So it's difficult to tell when they'll come down. Also, since you're on a slope, it's difficult to start moving in the up direction, and down leads to doom. So you stand in one spot and hope you can jump out of the way in time, and it usually will bounce right up into you. Then IF you survive all the balls (6 or 7, I think 6) Robotnik comes down REAL fast. And you gotta avoid him too.
Now this game comes with a stage select code, but if you skip stages you start with no emeralds, and each emerald is in act 2 of each zone. No special stages. SO you gotta go through the whole game to get the good ending...
This was long, but I've hated that boss since I got my Game Gear when I turned 8.

[HyperZell]

The big bird thingy in EVO for SNES...if you evolved the wrong way, the damn thing was just too hard to beat...and it wasn't even the final boss!

[Captain Shagrat]

The big bird thingy in EVO for SNES...if you evolved the wrong way, the damn thing was just too hard to beat...and it wasn't even the final boss!

I can't beat the final boss for EVO. The crystal that turns into a fish/eel/? (can't remember) kicks my ass every time. I gave up last summer but the saved state should still be good....

[Cuddly PyramidHead]

QUIET FOOL!

Any mention of ROM's, and this thread will turn into another fucking asshole flamewar on how ROMs are killing the game industry!

[dkhighwind]

It's easy. All you have to do is keep evolving. Every time you evolve, your life is refilled. So, if you stock up on evolution points, you can just keep changing your mane or something.... Yeah, I know it's cheap.

[The Coop]

How many remember the Genesis game Battletech? Anyone remember the final stage? How about the little shit that calls that place home?

Yeah, him. The stage is hard enough on its own merits, but throw in the mech that you're supposed to make it to so you can destroy him and win... and then make him a nasty little bastard to boot... well, you got a hard boss right there. Eventually, I beat the game, but not before seeing that ending screen with your mech laying on its side and your pilot hanging dead out the cockpit window WAY too many times :wink:

[The Infernal Storm]

I'll Go with Deus in Xenogears if you didnt kill all his little parts beforehand.

No shit!! I cannot beat Deus, I have tried like five thousand times. And I ran outta cash and stuff to sell, just to upgrade my main party's Gears, so I can't really use the other characters to do away with those orbs... The foul thought of employing the use of a gameshark has crossed my mind more than once lately.

What are you? an RPG newbie?

If you want a hint, keep fighting in the lighthouse before Deus... Easy cash, easy upgrades, east level ups... Just make sure you don't die though... some critters can knock down a Xenogear with a few hits.... which is pretty scarier than Deus considering that those things are NORMAL enemies...

I leveled up for about 4 hours in the lighthouse, so I beat Deus in about the 3rd try.... It ain't that bad...

i remember that...i think i remember reading something that said you're supposed to jump on the foot instead of using the tounge...but i could never stay on long enough (stupid game that couldn't be finished)...at least the rest of the game wasn't a total bust

Yeah I know... I remember killing that damn foot about two or three times total. That boss was bitchin' tough man... I mean.. if you stave off your attack even for a second, the damn foot stomps on you...

[Merid]

Wow, I thought this thread died! Well, here's my two cents. The last boss in Persona. Not really hard, just long. And if you weren't built up, then it was Hard.

[xamgis]

the Mertorid Prime...especially the core essence...the floor strike alone can take half an energy tank...and even more on hard mode...not easy but beatable...it may take a few tries though...just to get the pattern down...plus u definitly have to be quick on ure feet...

[Vortex]

*Spoilers*



I just a second ago died fighting metroid prime. That bastard. I didn't go into the battle with full energy though because I didn't know that's where it was gonna be. I'll go back a little later and kick his ass now that I know what his pattern is. That hyper beam kicks all ass btw 8)

[dPaladin]

Man, has this topic been around forever. And before that, it was in another thread.
-Omega-FF5
-Emerald/Ruby Weapon-FF7
-EvilWall/Ashura/Zeromus- FF4 HARDTYPE
(actually, Ashura was a long fight, not too hard)
-DragonLord- DQ (not Dairy Queen)
...um, I had more......

[Rudra]

i don't know if this has been mentioned before, but Lilith Aileron in the playstation version of Tales of Phantasia was really hard. Basically you could never get an attack in because she always countered everything with giant multi hit martial art attacks (with a ladle).

apparently, some magazine recommended fighting her at lvl 99, as well as fighting the last boss at lvl 70. Well i managed to beat her at lvl 80, after beating the game at lvl 64, but i could have done it at a lower level.

not really the hardest boss in existence, but worth mentioning

[DarkLink]

Hmmmmm...

I'd say Rust Tyrano in CT. I went against him like hundreds of times because I kept getting mass murdered. It was HARD!

[Kylin Rouge]

Ahaha Rust Tyrano!! Ever heard of Ruby Rings? Sold in 65mil BC? Yeah, put 3 of those on and Rust Tyrano just takes a little while, but otherwise you'll kick his ass. There's a difference between getting your ass kicked when you know what you're doing, and getting your ass kicked when you don't know what you're doing.

I haven't really played much of the old games, just about everything in Bof1 was mega hard, I hated how I got the bosses down to the little red life bar, and I had to do like 5x the damage to bring it down there to kill it.

I guess a good mention would be Yunalesca, she was pretty hard to me. Hardest boss in FFX ( I didn't find the final aeon very hard since I got a lot of opportunity to easily prepare for it. )

[dPaladin]

I can't remember Rust Tyrano being particularly hard...

[Psychonaut]

Rust Tyrano? Pshaw, that was an easy boss.



the Mertorid Prime...especially the core essence...the floor strike alone can take half an energy tank...and even more on hard mode...not easy but beatable...it may take a few tries though...just to get the pattern down...plus u definitly have to be quick on ure feet...


I dunno, I have a lot more trouble with the first incarnation of prime than the core essence... I personally think the essence is kinda easy, just dodge the flame attacks, then when he spawns metroids, zap them, THEN use the phazon to power your attack. When he spawns the weird one-weapon-weakness metroids, split them up, then lay a power bomb to destroy them all at once. Easy.

Meta Ridley gave me a LOT more trouble than MP did. The fucker got me down to 12 health, no extra tanks the first time I fought him.

Either way, all of the bosses in that game were (I thought) very deserving of the title "boss". I've been getting kinda sick of pathetically wimpy bosses, and the ones in Prime really had some substance to them. Very cool.

[zerohunter]

Only boss in Prime that I had trouble with was the Omega Pirate, I don't know why either the 2nd time I fought him he was really easy.

Ridley was hard until I got the patten of dashes down. Then I finshed him off without getting hit at all.

Prime himself was also hard until patterns were learned. Ice spreader absolutly destroys him in ice form, otherwise he's just hard to hit. And the 2nd form is a joke, all you have to do is jump a few times, go into his pool, and blast him. Repeat as needed...

[The Infernal Storm]

I'll Go with Deus in Xenogears if you didnt kill all his little parts beforehand.

Yeah, I have been to the lighthouse as a matter of fact. Did all the stuff there, bought up all the junk I could from Big Joe's shop and all that. But I really did not see any cash coming my way thru battling. In fact, the only place I can find any enemies that give up money is inside of Merkava(?).

Oh, and I'd suggest stepping down from your 'l33t RPG expert high horse'. Some of us, after all, do in fact have lives and necessities outside of games. Some of us as well, have been around since the dawn of the advent of modern console RPG's ;)

[AarowSwift]

Has anybody mentioned the Omega Weapon in Final Fantasy 8? Granted, it's optional, but that thing is impossible to beat unless you've done all of the miserable card quests. Oh how I hated the card quests. I gave them a shot but very quickly I couldn't stand them anymore. Anyway, you need to get the insane items that make your party invincible to even have a hope against FF8 Omega. Literally, if you aren't invincible, that thing just smacks your party members down like gnats. However, I heard from a friend that he managed to barely beat Omega by battling it with his lowest level characters. If you recall, in FF8 the enemies were adjusted according to your characters' levels. I can't confirm what my friend says, but theoretically it makes sense. Omega's stats would be adjusted down in a fight against low-level characters, so it might be possible to take out Omega that way.

Personally, I prefer bosses that are fun to fight, even if they aren't necessarily challenging. I loved all of the bosses in Metroid Prime, for example. They do offer a decent challenge (I have yet to try hard mode), but more importantly, they are simply fun to take on. On the flip side, Mizar at the end of Jet Force Gemini (my favorite Rare game, farewell Rare) was very hard and a royal pain in the neck, as was the final boss(s) in Xenogears. :|

[DarkLink]

Well, he was hard because i didn't KNOW about the rings/mails/vests/whatever the hell you said, ok? Geez. You say something hard and they blow up in ur face.

Also Gygas from Earthbound.

[Hadyn]

I spent four hours on the end boss (in his 3 stages) of skies of Arcadia, and about an hour for each sub-boss in the game. why? because i like that little "run" choice just a little too much :D

[Chorozon ID]

One of my friends recently brought this to my attention.

The 25 song ONI course on DDR Max USA.

O_O twenty... five...

that's just certain d34th.

Even with a CONTROLLER!!! >_<

[Chorozon ID]

Ouchu... has anyone ever fought Ultimate Nine-Ball on ACMA WITHOUT the nuke missles or blade wave ability? I've beaten him once wth the heaviest humanoid legs and the Karasawa with two ammo packs and a moonlight. (BTW, legal core)

[Chorozon ID]

All right, this is the last one o_o;;;

Beat the library mission on HALO on legendary mode, ALONE. (Without dying)

[TheCore]

Oh HELL no, that's just cruel man. I can and have beat it alone on legendary, but without dying? ....no... no way.. can't be done.. CAN NOT be done.

Anyway, hardest boss goes to The 2nd level boss in Sub Terrania for the genesis. It's a giant floating head that uses tentacles to beat the living hell out of you, and this wouldn't be so bad if you werent stuck in a room that's pretty much big enough to merely fit him in it, nevermind you and your ship. I think I broke 3 or 4 controlers thanks to him.

[littleman20]

What? Sub terrania was so hard to begin with. The limited fuel just sucked and there were no continues either if I rember correctly. Must be one of the hardest games I ever played. It was pure luck if you didn't know where to go you were done for!

[The Coop]

Anyone remember a game called Hexen? Anyone ever get to the final boss, Korax? Fun huh?

I really don't wanna think how many times I've had to reload a game save against that boss. First you get a big room FULL of enemies to fight through. Once you're done with them and nicely weakened, out comes the serpent rider, Korax.
Oh what fun he is. Teleporting from spot to spot, his energy shots aren't that hard to avoid, but he takes FOREVER to get rid of. You'll run out of both mana types before he's half dead. Then you get to try and run up to him so you can strike him... that's where it gets hard.
He's only in place for a few seconds to fire before he warps off to another spot, so you'll only get a couple hits in. To say this is tough, is the truth. Pray that you have lots of healing vials to use... you'll need them.

[Fletch]

Worst boss ever... hmm. It depends. I have one friend (not used to THINKING...) who swears that the final boss of Quake is the hardest ever. I still haven't told him how to beat it it's too funny watching.

My personal pick would be Dhaos (Tales of Phantasia). He had a castle full of ninja, then you get the ever-so-fun two form deathstrike. To add insult to injury, the second form can't even MOVE and it wastes you.

Unless you level up. I finally beat him at L99. (I'm told typical levels for the endgame are high 80s-low 90s.)

[Dark.Chrono]

So yeah... just read through this whole thread... all 37 pages of it. Ow.

A few things to say:

Only one person mentioned Lagoon, and didn't mention the final boss. He had quite a few forms (even if you didn't count the bosses you had to fight before him) and the hardest one was the giant blue bird form. For those who haven't played it, imagine a huge blue bird flying around shooting lazers at you and all you have to attack it with is a sword that's 1/10th as big as one of the bird's feathers.

I empathise with TeknoBunny about the contra 3 last boss on hard mode. A friend of mine named Dan and I decided we'd beat that game together on hard mode, because we were both the best video game players in the theatre the SNES was in. We FINALLY beat him (Dan was really good at 'sniping' the blue 'walking' orb), and Dan was celebrating, cheering, and pointing it out to other people in the room, while I watched us rise out of the canyon. Of course we had only beaten it on normal thus far, so when the boss' NEW final form attacked us on the missle... "DAN GET YOUR ASS BACK OVER HERE, HE'S ATTACKING US AGAIN!!!"

Konami is evil, yes. I never managed to beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts without cheating. The second to last boss was just frikkin impossible to beat in the time limit with the stupid bracelet. Why the weapon of ultimate power has to be so hard to use compared to the other weapons is beyond me. It wasn't so much I couldn't beat him, I just couldn't beat him in the stupid time limit.

As for the person surprised by someone going through FF1 with four black mages, I have a friend who has beaten it with four RED mages. That's like playing D&D with a group full of bards, except even less useful.

Omega Weapon in FF8 was easy for me, but perhaps that's because I spent the entire way down to his lair drawing incredibly powerful spells for my wussy characters, and then 'equipping' them or whatever it was called. I had enormously powerful characters who were all low level, so he wasn't that hard.

The 'amusing' diffcult endboss for me was bowser of Super Mario World. This boss is insanely easy now, but I had so much trouble beating him the first time because somehow I had missed the info block that told you, "You can throw things straight up by holding 'up' before kicking them." I went through the whole game without knowing that, and had to beat bowser by FLYING a shell up to him, without getting hit once.

But one game I haven't seen mentioned by anyone is Lawnmower Man for the SNES. The last boss in that game is not only incredibly annoying and difficult to beat, but just getting to him is insanely hard. It's like playing a crappy version of gradius without any of the good weapons. And the ending is pathetic too. All in all it's a crappy game, which is why I don't recommend anyone else playing the game to see what I mean. ;)

[Figo]

I think one of the boses that lately ahs reminded me of how difficult bosses used to be is
Sephiroth from Kingdom hearts, you need ti have a nice level,you need to know how he attacks and defends, you need ability with your controller... and you need a little luck also
Thats what boss battles used to be.

Other special bosses from final fantasies are EASY, you just need to know how to beat them like omega weapon, ozma, emerald weapon.... Sephioroth no matter how well you know his strategy you will still need ability (Sin harvest is devastating power)

[Cpt_Zach]

Konami is evil, yes. I never managed to beat Super Ghouls and Ghosts without cheating.

Yeah, Konami IS evil, but they didn't make Super Gosts and ghouls.
Capcom makes super ghosts and ghouls, like how they made that old, shitty NES game ghosts and goblins (ok guys, I KNOW it is a classic, and it is like their first NES title, but the later games just kicked its ass).

[dkhighwind]

Coop, is there a specific reason you, the creator of this thread, bump it whenever there is a chance of it dying?

[Illaminus]

I still think the final boss of Demon's crest (Dark angel, or whatever his name is) is the most difficult one ever. Man, he's hard.
Next is Mizar from Jet force gemini.

[Chorozon ID]

MATTHIAS ON AC2!!!!! CHEAPNESS!!! RAPE!!! HE'S A BASTARD I TELL YOU!!! >_<

I swear it is damned impossible to beat Matthis in a one on one battle. I've gotten him into the red every time this way and then he just kills me with ONE SHOT!!! I couldn't even beat him with his OWN DAMNED CORE!!! (Personal specialty; I'll own you with your own machine :twisted: ) In the end I ended up going cheapo on him. I took a mobile mid-weight humanoid with a Karasawa, Moonlight and Orbital Cannons to Etal Base and just Overboosted from pillar to pillar for 20 MINUTES until he ran out of ammo. Then it was a cake walk. This is the ONLY surefire way to beat him... but a true AC fighter detests cheapness. (At least I do)

In short, Matthias = Pain

[NoName]

The boss in the Chemical Plant Raid in Lethal Enforcers. How the fuck are you supposed to kill a guy in an Apache Assasult Helicopter with a Revolver?! Nevermind the fact that even if you manage to survive with a shotgun or grenade launcher thru the stage, it was hell trying to figure out how to shoot the guy. It ended up like taking 50000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 rounds just to beat the guy.

And, I forgot the name of the game, but it was a Western-type shootout where you stodd in front of a mount with a gun in it, and you had to "draw" like in the Westerns. The last Boss was (I believe) a master sharpshooter, and his reaction time was less than 1/2 of a second. The bad thing about the game thought was, if you "jerked" the gun even a smidgen before the time to draw, the computer would "scold" you for drawing too quickly. Not to mention the design of the holster was bad to begin with.

[Smasha]

Earler, some were taking about the metroid prime. I am a very thorough gamer, and would like to think I am pariculaly skilled, and I did not find the metroid boss battles to be all that hard. I agree that they are amoung the funnest, best done bosses ever, however. Just as Prime stands out amoung games partially because of the visors and cannons still being useful throughout the game, the bosses stand out as truely testing a variety of skills. All have patterens, and most become harder a time goes on (old school, and very fun, and they made it work.), but they still involve you using your variety of techniques more than almost any other first-person game I can think of. Against the Metroid Prime, for example, you obvoisly need to jump and dodge, but in the first stage you need to keep switching weapons, and plenty of incentive is provided for you to use your combos, and even the morphing ball is neeed to dodge its body slam. In the seond phase, your visors get plenty of work, and possibly your beams (personally, I usually power bomb or phazon beam the fission metroids). Super Metroid's ending (and I don't just mean the credits - I mean everything after you get the space jump) was one of the most emotionally drawing I have ever seen. Prime's may not be as much, but the idea of samus getting an ultra-powerful beam is used here well. Now, you need to actually do something to get it (it's not automatic) and once you do it does not gurantee that you will win, you need to get it more than once. So, you still get all the excitement and sense of accomplishment you get from such a great-looking, sexy beam, plus you need to keep on your toes. A great idea.

Mind if I get even more off-topic to graphics? Am I the only one here who thinks the graphics in the fial battle of metroid prime to be some of the best ever? The environment is the perfect, disgusting (that is a GOOD thing), well-textured place for such a fight, and the metroid prime is modelled well in both forms and has nifty looking attacks. In the second phase, the visuals may be even better. Prime looks neat in all visors, and in your combat visor, you may agree with me the metroid prime may very well be the neatest, nifftiest transparency ever!!!! The luminesence and lighting effects in this game are great as well, and the metroid prime's body and attacks - not to mention the utterly orgasmic-looking phazon beam - are also some of the best lighting I have ever seen.

[Dougzee]

The last boss of the first disc on Legend of Dragoon. I dont care what anyone says. That Emeperor -jackass- totally destroyed me. And I fought him for over fourty five minutes. Yea, maybe I suck at Legend of Dragoon, but he was hard as hell. He killed -everyone- on my team (Rose, Lavitz, and Dart) except Dart. And by the end of the battle, Dart had 3 hitpoints left. No healing items. No reviving items. I was -fuxored-. But I won. But thats not the point. He was hard as hell.

-Doug, who's going to go cry now.

If I remember correctly, I beat him with Dart with 6 HP as my sole survivor. HAHAHA! I'm better than you!!!!!!!!

[Majin GeoDooD]

I'm not reading through all these pages (I never took the time to check out this thread), so this might've been mentioned already. But the Chrisophinx in Chrono Cross, THAT FUCKING BITCH! It's a secret boss, guides say he has 13,000 HP, but that's total bullshit :evil: I was fighting him for like 5 hours, fell asleep WHILE FIGHTING HIM, then tried for about 1-2 hours after I woke up.. he wouldn't go down.. Still haven't beaten him :evil:

[fighters of destiny]

not that it really matters in this thread but one of the easiest FINAL bosses ive ever faced (without cheating) is megaman juno in megaman 64. :?
all i do is hold the z trigger, run around in circle, shoot at him, and jump over his attacks. it may look unskilled, but it's easier and not a cheat.

[Viewtiful Fig]

I've seen these kinds of threads so many times.

Anyway, the hardest boss I've ever faced ...

That DAMN OCTOROK MINIBOSS IN THE JABU JABU THINGY IN ZELDA 64. First time I faced that little b*tch, I died. And the second through tenth times were pretty much a repeat. Now that I've long since beaten the game, he's easy, since I know what to do and stuff. But he had me in a corner for quite a while. Maybe he wasn't hardest, though...

There was always that tree in Kirby.

[Dougzee]

This is gonna sound totally mean

But my friend is so lame at video games that he -died- three times on that tree boss on Kirby.

-_-

It wasnt even hard on -hard- mode.

-Doug

[dPaladin]

Yunalesca from FFX.
SA-X from Metroid Fusion (especially escaping from her)

[DJ_Aquagenesis]

ok kill me... the trex and the final boss from turok 1. i have never been able to beat that game without cheatin. (damn level 5 and last bosses.) level 5 is soo fuckin hard that it ain even funny, damn annoyin ass leapers comin back and shit. no guys to kill in there to get ammo from so when ya pick up the ammo, thats just it.

[Vertigo]

I submit any final boss from SaGa Frontier and the Egg from SaGa Frontier II. I swear, they made those things CRAZILY hard to beat. The only final boss from SaGa Frontier I actually managed to beat was Genocide Heart, and THAT was an accomplishment. Doubt I'll ever beat Egg, though. Good freaking grief...

[Ryan the powerful]

well.......................... SA-X

she goes nuts when she sees you and so much damege to you................agh :(

and

sonic 2

metal sonic

i mean you have to kill him with no rings

[Viewtiful Fig]

SA-X is fun to toy with, the first time you actually have to get chased by her. Keep making her spin back and walk to the pillar youre hiding behind by firing consistently. Im sure X have feelings of frustration.


But then she totally kicked my ass. I guess X have feelings of vengance as well.


Damn SA-X. Always ruining my flower bed. I'll get the hose ready next time.

[DarkSephiroth]

Braska's Fianl Aeon aka Jecht..... on FFX

I'm packing two autolife speels on two chars and still havent beat him. I can survive for an hour but then I run outta supplies.

[drizzt]

SA-X is kinda hard on Fusion. She just down right scares me. The scary music comes on, and then SA-X comes and chases, shoots, kills. I beat the game though. The last boss was not very hard, died on him once. Fighting SA-X was not very pleasent, but when she turned into the monster thingy it was simple, of course the X virus then fought me with the shooting plasma beam and I died on the Friggin' X. It pissed me off.

Great Game though.

[Viewtiful Fig]

Personally, I'm currently stuck on the part in Sector 2(?), TRO, where you have to actually run from her. Well, this is the second time you have to run, the first time was with the power bomb ... or if you were stupid enough to reveal yourself when she walked over that tunnel ... but it's really tough. She's gone from "Scary clone who walks by eerily" to "Psycho B*tch".

[dPaladin]

of course the X virus then fought me with the shooting plasma beam and I died on the Friggin' X. It pissed me off.
The SA-X's X core beat you? :lol:
Use screw attack and it'll drop all these x Parasites on you. I had almost full energy after doing that.

[ECMguy]

I think the hardest boss ever is the final boss from Legend of Dragoon. You have to beat all four of its forms (if I remember correctly) and it keeps getting stronger. The fight takes over a hour even if you are doing well! There is nowhere that you can stock up potions or anything before you fight it and eventually it starts just eating your characters, then spitting them out at another character, which hurts a lot. It usually eats your healer, too. Damn it!! I never finished the game.

[Cactuar Joe]

Eh, he's not that tough if you give Miranda that ring that regens 10MP a round. Free all heal spell every other round! If I had to name a toughest boss, it would have to be Emerald Weapon. Yeah, there's a way to beat it, but it mostly relies on your luck. Blow that!

[Espilonarge]

Hardest part I can remeber for a boss would be right at the end with Sonic and Knuckles running after Robotnik and trying to outrun the falling platforms because I hate it when you bounce off him and when you get the last hit in you find that you die in the pit of no retrun.

I HATE THAT >_<

I kept getting so tensed that anyone who bumped me made me jump and all which scares the S*** out of me...

I literly jump out of my seat sometimes while playing DooM also...

[Xenodreamer]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot:

The last boss of SaGa Frontier 2. I mean, geez, the rest of the game was a breeze and then all of the sudden you have this really tough last boss.

Also, this isn't a boss but the Battle of South Moundtop was INSANE.


You are SO right! The egg was an insane boss battle. And the battle of south moundtop. A pain in the ass

I have to make my own little hard boss battle up here. Anybody remember Indalecio...the last boss on Star ocean 2-the second story. Most of the bosses in the tower were tough but damn. That was tough unless you really really prepared! alright ill think of more bosses :twisted:

[Xyn]

wow, i thought this thread had died, but since it's still alive and kicking, i'll throw in my 2 cents:

i'm having a helluva time with kingdom hearts. i think i read somewhere on these forums that the more rpgs you play, the more your reflexes turn to mush since all you have to do is select battle commands. so me and my mushy reflexes are finding kingdom hearts kinda difficult. it took me about 20 tries to beat ursula in that second form. and i won't even go into what a pain in the ass sephiroth is. anyway, my 2 cents has been thrown and i'll shut up now.

[Roboduck]

The unlimited version of Indelcio from StarOcean the second story is hands down the most difficult boss of all time.

He moves 3 times as fast your characters, can cast spells while moving, and most of those spells are 1 hit kills to everyone in the party.

[Shadowfax]

I have to say, that I think the worst Boss of all time has to be Dr. Willard in Tomb Raider III. Not only is it rather intimidating to have to face a giant, otherworldly, spider-thing--but he's invincible, too! You have to run all over the damn place picking things up while avoiding his instantly-fatal acid spray and not getting trampled. Not to mention the pools of acid surrounding his happy little bubble. Damn bug.

[Xenodreamer]

The unlimited version of Indelcio from StarOcean the second story is hands down the most difficult boss of all time.

Dude you know i agree. I mean hes the last boss, does all this crazy shit and has like a million freaking hit points. But I have to bring up the secret dungeon on Star ocean 2. Remember the last boss in there :D oh and i have another, the last boss in Valkyrie Profiles dungeon. :twisted: It was maniacally evil!

[Daemon]

Indeed the hardest battle

[Xenodreamer]

well good looks like we are all in agreement here:) Even for an RPG game that boss was hella hard ppl. You all know this!

[Roboduck]

i got another one, the boss and\or entire game of Zombies Ate My Neighbors on the snes.

47 levels......3 lives......no continues........passwords start u on that level with a damn water gun! 8O

the final boss would take over an hour to beat with game genie cheats,

even if u can beat him, u then have to win the ending!, u have to fight ur way through a insanely difficult lvl to see the ending credits

[Xenodreamer]

hahahahah! i remember that game! man.......do we all feel old or what 8O

[Daemon]

The snes eh? I'll emulate it...
I sort of remeber it though...

[Sky64x]

I think one of the hardest bosses was mizar on Jet Force Gemini, the second time you fought him. You don't even know if you're doing the right thing until about twenty minutes of doing it gets you through the first part of the battle. Thank god the rest was pretty easy.

Another one was Grandia Xtreme's final boss, and it's not cause of his abilities, well, not entirely. The game was so amazingly unbalanced that by that time, I had gotten used to relying on one character for all my hits (play it and you'll know who), and the game is ridiculously easy, right up until him. Not to mention there are four or five floors of monsters you can't skip, who conviniently soften you up for him. Not to mention he has about seven other things to hit at the time, which are all hitting you. Not to mention he has the most irritable (half because it doesn't fit him at all) voice. Not to mention Kroitz. Goddamn Kroitz! He's not in the final battle, but jesus christ, I hate him anyway.

[jb_head]

CT, Spekkio, lv. 99

Whooped my butt everytime! although it's not really a boss, it's still tough.

Also, Seymour from ff10 when he has that stupid lance of atropy.

it's always great to beat those tuffies so you can stand there going, "OH YEAH! Who's yo' daddy now, be-yotch!?" ... or was that just me?

[ECMguy]

You do that, too?

[Oldman]

Indalecio with the limiter taken off.

He now has 1,500,000 hp.

He casts meteor swarm on you twice in 5 seconds.

Your entire party takes 7000 damage each, both times.


Have a nice day :D


-Side note: Hey ECMguy, are you the Eric Myloneas of Gamefan fame? If so, props to you :p

[SnowyThing]

The hardest boss is 'Super Shredder' in "Turtles in Time" for the SNES......
....
......

Wait...
...
.. He's the easiest.
.... what are we talking about again?

o.o;;

[dPaladin]

the hardest boss ever is definately the final boss of Gradius for NES.

Goldeneye 007 (N64): Beat the train on 00 Agent with the enemy rockets cheat on, but no other cheats. That's so cruel, it's not even funny.

...I'm not sure if I said this one yet (thread's been around too long, and there was another one before it), but the DragonLord from Dragon Quest (DragonWarrior) is very hard to beat. And can anyone beat Sephiroth on Kingdom Hearts??? His health doesn't even go down when I fight him (maybe I should gain 30 levels and try again, like in FF7).

I still beat that bitches ass! Keep doing mirror slice and keep up in the air and he wont call upon his little angel bitch until he touches the ground again. Plus get some bunny shoes and you move as fast as him! Damn that game was great :D heheh But still he was a bitch even with proper leveling

[The Coop]

Well, I found new friend today. His name is Igniz... and he's the final boss in King of Fighters 2001 on the Dreamcast. In case you haven't guessed, I'm being sarcastic :wink:

This guy, is SO fucking unfair. He has no striker characters, as he doesn't need one. He has a special move that uses his cape like a slicer and takes about a third of your health bar off. He also has a Super Move that once used, is nearly guaranteed to hurt you... as even if you block it, another character is summoned up to hit you while you're blocking, which then enables the Super Move to start hitting you. Unfair to be sure.
He also has a Lion he can summon up to attack you, normal attacks that do much damage, and in general... the guy's a pain in the ass.

And I thought Rugal was a bitch...

[fighters of destiny]

the hardest boss ive ever faced was the one in secret of evermore
who the hell knows what his name is
doesn't really matter
he has three forms
wait no, FOUR
first there is kindo of a defense system for him that you have to beat (easy)
then he makes enemies that are really hard to kill, do a lot of damage, luckily easy to dodge (moderate)
here is the part i really got stuck on
he sends a boss youve already beat and has thousands of more hp with harsh attacks that some are immpossible to dodge (hard)
then if that's not enough, somehow he sends a kickass machine after you that can kill you in two shots (with full health) which is kind of easy to dodge, all you have to do is go to his side, but if you touch him, that even hurts you a lot (wicked)
why the hell do they have that rule
it would be different if you were touching a knife
it really pisses me off :evil:

[Vagrant_D]

Rugal IS a bitch. You're just thinking only Rugal.

In Capcom VS SNK 2, he absorbs Akuma's powers if you get a high enough Groove Point average, I'm guessin'. My best attack did about a fifth of his bar. One of his normal attacks did that much. Ult. Rugal took me 27 tries on normal. I'm dying to see how hard the s.o.b. is on the higest difficulty.

And the Evermore boss wasn't that hard for me. Bazooka does wonders. And so does one certain spell, energize I think it's called. Keeps your attack at full. Useful for your pooch who can blast his metal can for some pretty big damage.

[Woffester]

Hmmmm....I'd have to say the hardest boss for me would be...Ummmm, Probably the master hand in SSMBM on very hard.

[MonkeySpank]

8O Dang after 40 pages"whew'' I can finally post( yes I'm that dumb).
I used to think Castlevania 1 Drac was tough then I figured out how to
beat it the easy way ater all these years of doing it the hard stupid way.
By accident( yep, no brain power involved :oops: ) I used holy water
on his second form. Didn't have to hit him in the head only anymore.
Also see this technique at Gamefaqs too. Geez, I never thought anything
there could help me make it easier since I beat it a decade ago but there
you go :oops:
Also used to think the Velius boss was hard too but someone suggested
using demi on him. Not hard anymore.
Still, if you can't beat them, cheat them. :wink: 8)

[Wabbajack]

Bangai-O for the dreamcast, Final Boss.
First of all, the last level is long and difficult. It probably took me 5 tries just to get to the last boss.

Then when you fight him, you probably last 10 seconds at the longest.

If you use a bomb at the wrong time, he counter-bombs you, and you die instanty.

Then when you get him down to about 10% health, he goes invulnerable. You can't hurt him for 15 seconds, and if he gets near you, you instantly die.

If you live long enough, his invulnerability wears off, and you can try to take off his last 10% health. Again, bomb at the wrong time, and you are still instantly dead.

Another tough one: Super Metroid. In the intro, the first time you fight Ridley, keep shooting him until he runs away, without getting hurt down to 30 life or less.

[Entropy Avatar]

Jeebus.... are me and Chorozon the ONLY ones posting the Tyrant dragon from BOF4?? You people don't KNOW boss ownage until you fight him. >_<

[Entropy Avatar]

Alright... now this is REALLY annoying. Criosphinx this and Criosphinx that. ARE YOU BLIND??? DO YOU NOT SEE THE YELLOW DOT THAT SIGNIFIES (surprise surprise) INNATE YELLOW!!!!

Sorry 'bout that. But for future reference, just equip the Yellow Plate armor and make one of your chararcter totally invulnerable to the Criosphinx's every attack. It helps.

[Refelos]

Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.
when you have to kill nemesis in the trash compactor with the 10 minuite timer without using the acid spouts using only the combat knife. damn that was hard; i ran out of time like a dozen times before i killed him. And before that i thought the big spider in the original re without getting poisoned was hard (again, with only the knife).

ff7
go through the final dungeon and kill jenova and sephtroth with no materia equipped at level 54-58. i used so many goddamed megalixers for hp, but i never game overed.

[dPaladin]

Beat Sephiroth on level 54, and with no materia? Can't be done. I was 5 levels up on that when I beat him WITH materia....maybe I need to play FF7 again...

[Nordamerikanischegestreif]

Hrm, Kerafyrm from Eq comes to mind.....

Ok, ok, no impossible bosses :wink: .

I remember that Egg Viper from Sonic Adventure took me about half a week to beat. He always caught me off guard when I got to a new section of his technique. And then, after you kill him, he pulls one last trick on you that SO pissed me off. I mean, come on.... I'd spent several days of free time working on killing him and I see him spiralling downwards with flames spurting out of him. What did you think I'd do? Drop the controller and do a dance around the room, naturally! What?!?! But... but... but....... You're dead! You're not ALLOWED to do a kamikaze attack on me! Noooooo.....

But anyways. I've heard that Sephiroth is one tough cookie in Kingdom Hearts, too. Hrm, too bad I haven't found him yet. I suppose I should look into that.....

[Odyeiop]

Xan on GodLike in Unreal Tournament.. that AI is just Superb
it was hard enough getting to Xan on Godlike.. nevermind fighting him

Xaeros on Nightmare in Quake III
he had to have had 666% accuracy with the Rail Gun.. it was ridiculous

[The Coop]

Hey all.

Anyone here have the game Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm? Yeah, it's not the best game in the world, but it is pretty fun... until you get to the BIG dragon at the end.

I can't remember that last time I watched my life bar go down like that. While the dragon is cool looking, and it doesn't have a lot of different attacks, the ones it does have do enough damage to make up for that fact. Long range fire, short range bites... OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH the fun. Granted, beating the thing gives you a nifty real time cinema, but...

Definitely a nasty boss...

[trinity, the hot one]

the bosses on some of the metroid games are so easy
there is no way you can lose

[chocomog_moomba]

I think the hardest bosses i've faced would be OZMA from FFIX... i dunno, i just had HEAPS of trouble with him... or her... or it.

And in Final Fantasy VIII i thought Omega... not ultima, as in the one in ultimecia's castle was really hard... if you don't use holy wars the only way i could see to beat him is to just rely on pheonix to be summoned after omega casts terra break...

that's who i thought was hard anyway!!!

[trinity, the hot one]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
the omega pirate on metroid prime was hard
until somehow i came back and whipped the shit out of him having him only 4 energy tanks destroyed
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
maybe the last form of wizpig on diddey kong racing
but that game kind of sucked so i hardly even tried

[aotearoa]

Ganon's first form in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was pretty difficult IMHO... I only beat that game once because of him ARGH!!!

[Mamour]

Ganon's first form in Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was pretty difficult IMHO... I only beat that game once because of him ARGH!!!

You're kidding, right? He's so pathetically easy! Much much easier than Phantom Ganon... At least, his projectiles don't gain speed when hit! That kinda took the challenge out of it all...

[Odyeiop]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
the omega pirate on metroid prime was hard
until somehow i came back and whipped the shit out of him having him only 4 energy tanks destroyed
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
maybe the last form of wizpig on diddey kong racing
but that game kind of sucked so i hardly even tried

i didn think Omega Pirate was all that hard :)
i killed him in less than 5 minutes

as for Ganon's first for in Zelda.. :roll: sheesh.. so simple
i beat that game (without dying) with only 3 hearts.. didnt even get the defense upgrade... on hit from a couple of things would have killed me :)

that has to be the easiest (but funnest) game ever

[Strider Kyoden]

I think the hardest bosses i've faced would be OZMA from FFIX... i dunno, i just had HEAPS of trouble with him... or her... or it.

...Lord have mercy on your soul Child. For if you have Beaten the OMEGA Weapon without the Holy Wars which I am trying to do, and have been trying to do for quite some time. You are more of a person than I. The best of luck to you.

[Perndog]

Has anyone mentioned the Black Rabite from Seiken Densetsu 3? Imagine the killing power of all of the FF weapons in a cute but sinister thing like a black basketball with a face.

[Alfador]

i forgot about the black rabite. I'm not 100% sure, but i think i beat him. I definitely fought him, but I don't know if i won or not...

[Dread Pirate Salty Pete]

Neo-Exdeath from FF5 -- only because you needed EVERYBODY ALIVE to get a good ending -- at the end, Butz was dead and, for some reason, unrevivable, and Faris was stone, dead, and a frog. Grr...

[Meiguoren]

Right now, the Omega Pirate from Metroid Prime is the hardest thing I have ever faced. So some of it is the mixture of adrenaline and frustration... but even so. Damn is this guy rough. I've figured out the strategy and I have been able to hurt him. It's that whole "not getting hurt" thing that I'm having trouble with. Jesus. Oh well. Back into the fray.

[Mantis]

I'm gonna have to go with the Giant fish thing from majoras mask and the giant alien robot eye from Axlay that thing can kick your ass.





..Mantis..

[Dope Jetson]

I can't even begin to believe how long this post is.

However, I will add the once boss I have never been able to beat (And I have been gaming since before, and through, the eight bit Nintendo): In the game Jedi Knight II, on Jedi Master, I have been unable to take down Desann.

He is a God.

I set up five droids, five turrets, and force pushed him to the ground (hacking away when he was down) multiple times, and was yet unable to beat him. I gave up after about five hours of trying to take him down, neither actions I do often (And yes, I did use the power up thing in the middle. It still didn't work.)

Just try it! If you can make it through the game on that difficulty (Which I can proudly say I did! =D) then I'd like to see you beat him. If you can, my hats off to you.

Though, I wonder now, if I should've given it a second go?

[Sir Figs of Yore]

I will nominate Improved Abazigail and Improved Demogorgon in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. I went into both battles fully powered up by augmentation spells. They seemed to be either extremely resistant or simply immune to most spells, and Demogorgon summoned fairly strong demons every 10 seconds it seemed. Took me three and six straight hours to take down Demogorgon and Abazigail down, respectively. :x

[trinity, the hot one]

there was two guys really hard on paper mario
the master and a black shy guy (no name)
the master was quite hard because you had to be at the right skill level and have the right items to beat him
the black shy guy does a whole crap of damage to you enough to kill you in one shot, so you need an attack badge and defense badge but since you don't have to beat him and once you do he gives you the attack badge it is pretty useless

[captain_ocd]

Hrm, Kerafyrm from Eq comes to mind.....

HAHAAHA.... any mob past level 50ish is downright impossible solo, and any dragon isnt even to be questioned. But yes the sleeper is the hardest... most impossible rather... boss in any game. Wouldent even call him a boss. Damn I have seen like 5 people in front of me just freaken drop instantly. Clerics bolted and so did I, we had one of the clerics (retard) camp cause he thot it would be nice to rez us after we zoned... moron. I counted 1:43ish seconds after he was awakened when I was crushed. But I saw some horrifying things... honestly if you could here screams in the game the place would just be blairing. 1 attack... 4 dead, bastard lumbered to me i backed up /screenshot and he turned his attention to someone to my left, i turned to see, she was dead before i saw it... i took the use of the 1/4 turn to my left to make it a complete twist and ran like hell. got to high ground (how i got there escapes me... been so long) took multi screens... I could see all these people running... sleeper lifted its head back and 2 or 3 more fell... /screenshot Then... dead... dunno how, maybe delay between pressing the - key and that millasecond stillness while the game process the screen gave ol basbages a chance to give me a claw to the gut. Never found my corpse... didnt care quit that game awhile ago. Honsetly I can only describe it as dropping the ring...

The Battle of Little Bighorn

[Warp Zone]

shooter fans: how about the final boss in Abadox (nes)? I could never beat it without invincibility. It SEEMS like you maybe could stay in a certain "safe spot" and not get hit, though I could never find where it is. Unless there is one, I can't visualize beating that guy. Err...girl. Err...o_O

[Stealwool]

In Guardian Legend, the second or third tentacle eyeball is more than evil. He is some kind of omnipotent turbo monster. He's lays down field after field of those green rods that kill you in two hits. He's just not fair. Second hardest boss is Velius from FFT, at least if Velius is the four-armed goat man with the demon coharts. Because of him I'm stuck on my second run through the game.

Yes, I've tried using summoners with Lich, but he's clever enough to kill them on the first turn. :x

[MonkeySpank]

Use demi on that bastard and you'll win. 8) Surprisingly it works.

[Dread Pirate Salty Pete]

Remember Gradius? The game was so hard that the programmers gave you a break and gave no weapons at all to the final boss.

[NifflerFarmer]

For me, it's a tie between the Giant Battle Armor, or the final boss from Rocket Knight Adventures. If you get touched, even a little bit bit by the god-forsaken thing, and you die. No questions asked, even with invincibility.

But wait...It gets better. The final boss throws a myriad of projectiles, many of them undodgable, all dealing about 1 and a half hearts of damage. (I think you have 15 hearts per life). And when you finally destroy it, and you're escaping in a drop ship, (with no way to attack or defend, I might add) The final piece of the boss comes flying after you, in the middle of space, and bombards you for another 3 minutes or so, without a refill in health from your previous battle.

Man, it feels good to get that out. Ahhh....

[King Dedede]

I'm stuck fighting Zophar in Lunar 2, man is he ever frustrating me...

I was stuck on him for months, and would probably get my vote too, especially because there's no althena statue anywhere(!!) The way I finally beat him was by, in his second phase, taking time to move everyone as far away from each other as possible before fighting. Another thing that helped is . . . you can take out one, or maybe even two of his arms before Lucia heals everyone for the REAL battle (if you gots the mad skills). Everyone should be at or above level 50 to beat this boss, so unless you don't have that many healing items, level up until Hiro gets Triple Strike (you will be SO screwed if you don't have it) and Lemina gets "Catastrophe". I never got that move, actaully, but I heard it helps. I had 8 silver lights, which was more than enough. Between the two angel rings I know of (maybe there are more?), your best bet is to equip them to Hiro and Ronfar, and equip the tri-ring to Hiro to make sure he can't get muted, paralyzed, etc. The key to winning this is, when only two or three people are left standing with medium-low health . . . use Recovery Coin. This move is freaking awsome. Oh, and . . . there is even a THIRD form! Bwahaha! But he's rediculously easy.

[King Dedede]

i'd have to say the true endboss of demon's crest. we're talking HARD. he had 2 forms, and you could only hurt him in one. and every time he switched to that form, you had to be quick and hit him, because he was making the walls, ceiling, and floor turn into spikes.

he was so hard you could only fight him if you had found EVERYTHING.

god that game rocked. great music too, deserves remixing.

man i forgot about demon's crest...i had it somewhere stashed in a box...i wonder if i can find a rom somewhere...it was a good game...and that true endboss was CRAZY!!!!

You know what? I . . . no joke here . . . personally KNOW the inventor of Demon's Crest!! He was a bully in my elementary school that picked on me for years. One day, he made this really cool drawing of some demons in a graveyard and whatnot with a title, "Demon's Crest" on it. Months later, nintendo made a game under that same name with a very similar art style. This is pretty frickin' cool, but I doubt he got any credit for the idea.

[NifflerFarmer]

Omega Pirate from Metroid Prime

Use Super missiles, and he goes down like a whiny little bitch

[Meiguoren]

Yeah. I finally did it. But now Meta-Ridley is killing me. Over and over.... I've figured it out, I just have to survive the charges long enough to end him.

[fighters of destiny]

Yeah. I finally did it. But now Meta-Ridley is killing me. Over and over.... I've figured it out, I just have to survive the charges long enough to end him.one question before you continue, are you on hard mode or normal :?:

[Meiguoren]

I'm going through Metriod Prime on Normal. This is my first time through. And the battle with Meta-Ridley is only the second time the camera has completely failed me. Dodging his charges is asinine and tedious. If you don't figure out how to do it, he just compounds charges and wastes you. Not pleased. I finally figured out what to do and when to hit him, and the constant "dash turn lock dash turn lock" made my thumbs hurt. Finally, I lost it and died hardcore. Eventually I'll go back and win. But for now, I'm frustrated.

But so far I'm impressed. I'm nearing the conclusion and so far the camera has only let me down twice.

[Wang]

Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts. Jesus christ..

lvl 90 and i can still barely hurt him

You know, what you could do is get the Wave Buster, dodge him until he stops charging and starts shooting, lock on, stand in front of him and blast him with it (just wait until he opens his big mouth, though). When he opens his mouth, you get the chance to shoot him in the face, making him recoil, stand up, and expose his weak spot. If you hit him with the Wave Buster there, his energy will slowly be depleted until he brings his head back down. Usually when he does this (like 99% of the time), he'll open his mouth again, leaving himself open for more punishment. Basically, all you have to do once you've hit his weak spot is keep hitting him with it. As long as you have a really healthy supply of missles (~170), you should be able to take him down with minimal effort. Hope that helps. :wink:

[Green-Gesus]

For those of you who have played AMerican MEgee's Alice, The Jaberwock is immpossible to beat w/o saving after each hit. Anything could go wrong. You are basicly running in this very large area

-(())--
with heals at the (()) and the 0. He flies above you with firey breath that kills you in 2 hits and crawls on the ground. He's faster than you and can breath it out for 15 secs max. Its too easy to die

[Proffessor_Scissors]

Neo-Exdeath from FF5 -- only because you needed EVERYBODY ALIVE to get a good ending -- at the end, Butz was dead and, for some reason, unrevivable, and Faris was stone, dead, and a frog. Grr...

Running shoes, my friend. Running shoes. I beat him 15 levels lower than by brother, at level 45.

OK, hardest boss ever. Hmm...
Megaman 7's Dr. Wily, second form. His attacks were *this* close to being undodgeable, and a full charge shot inflicted a single damage on him, if you could hit him at all.

Honorable mentions:
Angband: Morgoth. 20,000 HP when you never really do much more than 600 damage per round. His regular attack causes small, localized earthquakes.

ADOM: Andor Drakon. Invisible, stat draining, insta-kill, summoning, you name it. Death by courruption. Praying for divine intervention, which normally heals you in that game, instead summons hordes of Greater Balors. Almost impossible.

Zande from ff3j. The first time, my battle went like this:
Round 1: He scans us.
Round 2: Meteo. We all die.

Zeromus in the japanese version of ff4. Just big and bad and tough.

[Rapyer2986]

It has probably been said already...

SEPHIROTH In Kingdom Hearts!! :banghead:

[The Coop]

Well, feeling the urge to go a bit retro, I started playing Doom II on my PC. You know what I found out? That I forgot about probably one of the single, most unfair bosses out there. The Demon on the final level :evil:

Jesus Christ is that thing is brutal. You get no clues as to just where the hell to hit it, BIG TIME monsters like Arch Viles, Revenants, Mancubus' and Pain Elementals are popping up all over the place (damn those Arch Viles for making Revenants like they were going out of style), and there's a tall elevator to ride on... that way you get killed at varying heights instead of just ground level.

To say it took me a while before I figured out what to do is would be misleading, as it took a gamefaws to figure it out after watching my guy get splattered so many times, Jackson Pollock could have used him for one of his paintings.

How do you do it? For those who have yet to play, I won't ruin the "fun".

[Straziante]

Seth, from Dink Smallwood. Hard motherfucker. You have to play that game to understand... funniest game I've played.

[Conan-San]

I alwa s considered the final bosses in the Megadrive/Genisis Sonic games to be nasty little moth*******ers

But the worst one is the "finger and nose mech from sonic 3"
Maybe it is 'cause i suck but I can do the fingers with no problem then you have to run from the mech whilst hiting it's stomach and the Master emerald Beam gun and if that wasent enough you had to avoid the nose flame-thrower and at times it seemed convient that the thrower would let the flame go just as you were going for the hit.

The worst part is that when you die, you go the finger part with NO rings. I meen that's around 20 or so hits with out yourself gering hit once...

[DoorKnobJohnny]

Megaman Juno from Megaman Legends always gave me a little trouble....

I hated her... SO damn much...




But I still have to say that Mecha Sonic from Sonic CD was the hardest. I tried for days to beat that little shithead... but after a while i just gave up. To this day i still havent beaten him. It was just the stupid, "try to beat the boss with NO RINGS" thing.

[Nordamerikanischegestreif]

Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts. Jesus christ..

i second that!

lvl 90 and i can still barely hurt himGood lord dude. I killed him at 85. And I was taking away fairly large chunks of his HP's per hit (A couple pixels a hit, about a fifth of a HP bar per full combo). Are you sure you're not being fooled by his 6 HP bars? I know he has two purple HP bars layered on top of each other, so until you run the first of those down it doesn't look like you're doing any damage to him. Try fighting him again and just stick with it, keep hitting him.

Of course, having the Ultima Weapon was probably a large factor in my victory, so maybe you should go for that too if you don't already have it.

[The Coop]

Ghouls & Ghosts... one boss that is so cheap it's not funny. The BIG fly that your have to fight before you enter the chamber and battle Loki... Beelzebub(sp).

They should have made this little putz the final boss, as Loki is a cakewalk compared to Beelzebub. This huge fly foirms from dozens of little flies, then begins to float about the room for a short time spitting green larva eggs that spin end over end. Then, it changes back into the little flies... and God help you from there.
I've watch Aurther get reduced to pile of bones so many times on this part, I could scream. Those little flies go anywhere... randomly. There's no pattern to avoid, and if you're on the lowest part of the floor and these flies stream across the screen at you, there's a 90% chance you're getting hit... twice. You can't avoid it as the stream is too long to jump over and a wall stops you from running any further. All you can do is get hit.

This part just hands you your ass so readily...

hey thanks

ive already beaten him though :)

i still say hes hard

[Mae]

Right now, I'm going through FF7 again, and this time I'm building up my materia (I have 2 mimes and 2 final attacks now =D) As soon as I get everyone up to level 99, I'm gonna go and kick some major Weapon butt! (And, I'm also gonna see what each of the characters has for their final stats so that I know which characters will make up the best team, and also so I know which characters are best to use in subsequent playings of the game.)

So far, I haven't been able to beat Emerald or Ruby Weapon in FF7, so they are my two all time hardest bosses.

[DJ_Ikronix]

When I saw the topic for this, the first thought that immediately came to my head was Culex from Mario RPG. 8O



And then I remembered that I faced him when I was approximately level 13. :lol: :lol: :lol:


Didn't go well for me...




Anyways...I'm the boss of Battlefield 1942, and I'm more or less unbeatable. ( :P ) Does that count? 8) :wink:

[Sgt. Joe]

also the dracula in castlevania sotn was way to easy i mean all you have to do was get two crissagrims and have a good level. i had him dead in abotu a minute.

I didn't think two Crissaegrims would make it any quicker, I just kept hitting the button, dodging from left to right from his hands.. pretty quick death.

And as far as "Hardest boss" goes I'd have to saaaay...

Lumina - Brave Fencer Musashi.. It took me forever to figure it out.. I guess it wasn't hard after I did though.

Nah... Blood Cape and the Cross and you're set. Blood cape gives you basically infinate hearts. Just keep crossin' him and healing when your HPs get low.

Regarding Brave Fencer Musashi... gotta love Misahsi's comments on the last boss: "What a dumb looking wizard"

[Odyeiop]

Yeah. I finally did it. But now Meta-Ridley is killing me. Over and over.... I've figured it out, I just have to survive the charges long enough to end him.

First Omega Pirate now Meta Ridley?

Omega Pirate was kind of hard... but super missles rape the shit out of him

as For Meta Ridley.. i had no problem.. then again i also had 1599 health when i fought him.... but still.. i only lost about 200 not even

[Ginzue]

(I think only very few ppl will know what im talkin about)Lady Vox/Lord Nagyfen/ The shizzar lord guy. I would like to see some one thats lvl 65 take any one of thoses. Even with a ton of AA. Ok now for RPG.

Dear Lord Lavos was hard for me!

Radical Dreamers was hard too.... Just Kiddin lol.

Chrno Cross was hard at the last boss, god that guy just kept changin!

[Meiguoren]

Yeah. I finally did it. But now Meta-Ridley is killing me. Over and over.... I've figured it out, I just have to survive the charges long enough to end him.

Well, I finally did it. I figured out how far away you have to stand to keep him from charging. Then I took out the Metriod Prime rather quickly... and let's say that the ending was less than stellar. But the game was amazing. Kind of like every other Metroid.

As for a hard boss... you're all going to laugh, but Bowser at the end of Mario 3 is the only time a Mario boss has actually given me grief EVERY SINGLE TIME. I always end up beating him, but it takes me quite a few tries.

[kentares]

What about the original Metal Gear for the NES?

At the age of 6 - 10 I don't think small children understand that the commander in Metal Gear would follow you into a different room and when in that room that is the only time you can hurt him.. also that game to my knowledge didn't have a health meter for the bosses.

As for the Metal Gear itself you had to have around 300 missles to kill it because of those doors opening and closing (the doors of course when closed would cause your missle to blow up)

[CelticWhisper]

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this one (sorry, but the 44 page count is kinda turning me off to searching the entire thread), but Star Ocean 2 had the biggest b*tch of a boss I've ever seen. It only appeared when you played the song of evil, and it was the "dark" version of the end boss of the Cave of Trials...if I remember correctly, that is. I used GameShark to power up my characters, so I went into the battle thinking "piece of cake" and came out of the battle thinking "God, I hope I saved recently." The kicker was that there were only about 7 seconds gone by between those two statements. Mopped the floor with me. An acquaintance of mine who has actually beaten this boss said it was one of those "Hit...RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN...hitRUNRUNRU NRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN...hit againQUICKRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN!" kinds of battles and it took him about 15 minutes straight (real-time battles where things can happen pretty quickly) to finally beat it. Thank Goddess for bunny shoes and Mirror Slice.

Hardest boss I've actually beaten? Real Eve at the top of the Chrysler Building in Parasite Eve 1. Took me about 20 tries, she was such a pain in the ass. Ultimate Being was nothing, NOTHING, compared to that.

By the way, with regard to impossible bosses, there is one that I know of, but it's a trick. Any who have played Phantasy Star IV and acquired the Megid technique know what I'm talking about. Chaz fights the Anger Tower guardian...ALONE...and it can only do one thing-use Megid on him for about 250 damage each time. I tried everything against it-Rayblade, Nathu, Crosscut, but between healing and attacking there was no way I stood a chance. I'd like to try hacking a save state on a ROM and perhaps see if it's even possible to beat him with normally-impossible stats. Would definitely be interesting.

[doublejbass]

Impossible bosses? Battletoads anyone?

[Ser371]

Hard Bosses? The Sky Dragon in Chrono Cross was a pain...but the hardest...wow...id have to pick over EVERYTHING...id probibally say Seph in Kingdom Hearts, cause I still havent beat him

I second that! Did anyone ever beat Battletoads in Battlemaniacs? I couldn't get past that stupid level with the jetbike, you know the rat with his jetbike(had a buzzsaw in the front of his) chasing you through that entire level

[Billy Lee Black]

Seiken Densetsu 3. The secret black Rabbite! If only I had a holy handgernade to use on it... that would kill that son of a monkey!

http://www.boomspeed.com/neapon/xenoatf_billy_face.gif

[Ginzue]

Oh ya, Magus, God he was hard, I had HORRABLY equiped chars, it was a real pain... Felt so good when I beat him. I still have that throbing Magus battle music in my head though.

[Snowman]

I dont know about anybody else but When i beat Xenogears i only got to the fourth combo, sad I know... it gets worse i didnt know how to use the combo command, but i did know how to use combos. Any way. There was a really hard boss on there for me. I dont know his name but he was that Floating orb gear guy that was in the shield generator cave next to Barts home town. (i frogot the town name.)

[The Coop]

Guess what I found? It's a new handy dandy ass handing machine called... hell, I don't know what it's called.

In Panzer Dragoon Orta (great game btw), there's this cat-like skeletal thing at the end of stage 3 or 4... I'm not sure which because I've been fighting him for a couple weeks and I don't remember the level number. There seems to be a weak spot on the things face (what there is of it) that you're supposed to attack after you've blasted all the armor off from the rear. I say seems because I've hit the thing with a berzerk blast and barely saw that health bar go down. Of course, the fact that you're always dodging jelly shots and it jumping at you when you're in front of it makes this in no way any easier.

Oh yeah... hard boss...

[Solid Krono]

Here's one that I guess count's as a boss... ya, well, anyway, here it is.

The boss of the game in Diddy Kong racing. God, that pig guy is impossible! I never could beat him, but the worst thing is that I heard that after you beat him, you have to race him again or something and he's even harder!

[Psychonaut]

Here's one that I guess count's as a boss... ya, well, anyway, here it is.

The boss of the game in Diddy Kong racing. God, that pig guy is impossible! I never could beat him, but the worst thing is that I heard that after you beat him, you have to race him again or something and he's even harder!

Yes, that game goes on forever... I think I used pipsie or tubwhateverhisnameis on him. Yeah, it gets MUCH harder, and goes on much longer... There's one set of races where you have to do EVERY race you've done over again, only on mirrored tracks... terrible. I eventually beat it, but it was hard as fuck. You get codes whenever you totally wail on the entire game, so I played it wayyyyyy wayyyy too much to be healthy.

[AarowSwift]

I doubt this one's been mentioned... Anyone here ever played (or heard of) Hybrid Heaven for the N64? It was a game that played similiarly (and pre-dated) Vagrant Story. Unfortunately it was not as interesting or well executed as VS. Anyway, I worked my way to what I must assume was the final boss, this little alien guy that zipped all over the screen and was impossible to land a hit on. I battled it for at least half an hour and hardly touched the miserable thing. Finally I quit, it wasn't fun anymore.

Actually, speaking of Vagrant Story. If you don't build up the power of your weapons or forge weapons properly, the end boss (and frankly, lesser enemies) can be insanely difficult to combat. I loved VS but I am really not into micromanagement, so my arsenal sucked pretty badly. Here's the funny thing... The only weapon I had that would even scratch the final demon was a short dagger...it's range was so short that 9 times out of 10, I couldn't reach the demon to hit it. Thank goodness for the reflect damage command. My arsenal was so poor that I was pretty much forced to master the timing required to reflect damage at enemies. That's how I won in the end...I healed like crazy and just waited to be hit so I could throw some of the hurt back in the monster's face. It took nearly a hour, but I beat the damned thing. :mrgreen:

[Paranoid Cheese Sandwich]

This thread is the all-time hardest boss. Ever. It never dies. Just when you think it's gone, back to page 1 of the forums it goes.

[RamRod]

yea, but this thread isn't a boss. No one is trying to defeat it or destroy it. This is a pretty good thread and I'm glad it's still around. Kick Ass! :wink:

[LegendarySword]

Doesn't qualify as a boss, more of a forced battle.

In 7th Saga, some of the characters (that you could have chose) proceed to hand you a serious ass whoopin'. That's the only game I can remember that gave me a lot of trouble. I tried with another character, yet still no avail. It's kind of funny how I still want a copy of it and its successor on SNES.

[Mack77]

The first Battletoads dark queen, Heck just getting through the game was hard enough, none of my friends could ever pass that bike level.

Of course this has been said many times already but Xenogears was definitely the hardest end boss for me. You couldn't level up anymore because it was maxed.

Anyone ever pass the Fantastic adventures of Dizzy for nes? If I could've saved I might have but it was too long and difficult.

[Stan Tuna]

This thread is OLD.

There's some pretty tuff shtuff in Skies of Arcadia (DC version).

The only ones that come to mind are Galcian and that damn bird thing at the end of Rixis, when you are supposed to get the green moon crystal. Gah. The second time through, I gained a bunch of levels, but Drachma was STILL the only one who could survive long enough to kill it.

[Syka]

I'm not reading through all 45 pages, so I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet. The last boss from Illusion of Gaia. It was constantly shooting high-power shots at you, it had tons of HP, and it was incredibly hard to hit without getting hit yourself. I had to use a game genie. And then the ending sucked anyway.

[The Coop]

Kouryu...

This infestation, is the final boss in the game Last Blade 2 on the DC. This guy, is... just a complete tool.

He carries a big sword... which means he has a long reach. He's suprizingly fast for being one of the largest characters in the game. He, in traditional SNK style, does copious amounts of damage to you when he hits. Because of his speed, he can trap you in a corner very easily and just keep hitting you while you block (you move, he hits you full on... you block, you're chipped away at). And God help you if you try and jump... he follows you constantly. No breaks, no pauses... just hounding you until you're dead and done.

This guy is a pain on "3" for difficulty. "8" must be a fighting game lovers hell...

[don't_exist]

I go with RuneLancer

Bloody Mary in terranigma,

[Bass Clef Man]

The Song "FreQ Out" - the last song on Frequency (well there's two hidden ones but I haven't played them yet...). This song has been going in my head for weeks and I've tried to beat it constantly, but to no avail.

Otherwise, ME! Sephiroth!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :twisted:

[Cuddly PyramidHead]

Sephiroth = Dissapointingly Easy.

[Bahamut]

Sephiroth wasn't hard :P

Bloody Mary though was pretty damn hard.

Solid, WizPig was pretty easy. :lol:

As for hardest boss...tough question. But hardest game, the #1 BS Platformer of all time, Super Ghouls & Ghouls!

dude the final boss was easy all u had to do to dodge shots was to use that one ability where ur guy turns into a puddle

[Drone]

i dont know if anybody has said this yet, but the hardest rpg boss was that stupid secret sphere monster in ff9...this guy was made to be the hardest boss(by squaresoft at least). he had spells that would kill your whole party in one hit, even at lvl 99! i forget what he was called, but i know for a fact he is the hardest boss in the final fantasy series(because he was made to be the hardest). few have beaten him

[dPaladin]

Ozma.
You can't usually beat him unless ypu give things to all the monsters that ask you to give them stuff.
Except for that stupid cat.

[Drone]

yeah, thats his name....grrr that stupid cat tricked me the first time...and the first monster i beat up cause i thought it was a trick.

[Eternalumination]

Obviously none of you have ever heard of or played the SNES game "Jim Powers". Not only is it the hardest game, but the last boss is fricken impossible. I used an invincibility cheat along with the ZSNES turbo button, but the boss still took at least 5 minutes of constantly using the "super bomb" of the game. along with another 5 minutes of just running through the level with the turbo button.

[Shmee]

Shinryuu from Final Fantasy V for the hardest RPG boss.

There are no 'hard' bosses in most rpg games... a simple way of beating most of them is just to train yourself to the maximum level and they can all be taken down easily... :wink:

I remember in Soul Blazer, a long time ago when I first got the game, I couldn't beat the first boss. I spent days looking for that one swrod that could cut metal because that's what I thought you needed. Apparently I wasn't the only one, as I've met at least 5 other people that thought the same. I think the instruction manuel was misleading or something.

As to Soul Blazer... i know nothing about Jap and i had the Jap version of it (it's called Soul Blader there)... i had to play through the whole game without any game guides, only the instruction manual :oops: . It took me A LONG TIME to beat the game but i'm pretty sure i beat(and found) the first boss on my first time playing it. :D



Ehh.... no hard bosses is RPG games my ass... anybody here played Dragon Warrior (NES) It's damn near impossible to get above lvl 60, and even then killing the Dragonlord was a total bitch.

[Cpt_Zach]

Ehh.... no hard bosses is RPG games my ass... anybody here played Dragon Warrior (NES) It's damn near impossible to get above lvl 60, and even then killing the Dragonlord was a total bitch.

For one, the max level in Dragon Warrior 1 is level 30. Next, the DrgonLord is pathetically easy if you level up that much. (btw, is your name from JTHM or Squee?)

[Israfel]

The white bird thingy at the end of Lagoon is...quite difficult.

[Native Jovian]

I dont know his name but he was that Floating orb gear guy that was in the shield generator cave next to Barts home town. (i frogot the town name.)
You mean Shakhan? Yeah, he was a bastard. The only way I was finally able to beat him was by going into infinity mode, beating on him, then healing and defending while going into infinity mode with a different character, beating on him... And so on.

I still haven't beaten the final boss for Xenogears. I need money to make my gears un-crappy, and I rather loathe running around and randomly battling for no reason other than battling. So, yeah.

[NightWish]

I think the ONLY battle that actually gave me problems is the final fight with Ramsus (before he joins your crew... ironically, after that insane fight, he decides to join you... whatever...)

Deus was so easy for me.... all you need to do is simply level up with all the gears and just leave it to Xenogears to do their special moves (of course, you need to defend a few times to charge the moves up)

[Absolute Fury]

Im sticking with Omega Weapon from Final Fantasy 8, I still dont see the point in hitting a 3 person party 50 times for max damage every single hit. I dont care if it not a real boss, I treated it like one.

Another problem boss for me would have been...*thinks for a moment* cnat htink of one, im just that damn good. :mrgreen:

[Native Jovian]

I think the ONLY battle that actually gave me problems is the final fight with Ramsus (before he joins your crew... ironically, after that insane fight, he decides to join you... whatever...)
He joins your crew? Did I miss something? After he killed Krelian and Miang, he just kinda disappeared, didn't he? I mean, I sure as hell haven't seen him...

Deus was so easy for me.... all you need to do is simply level up with all the gears and just leave it to Xenogears to do their special moves (of course, you need to defend a few times to charge the moves up)
...Say what? Did that make sense to anyone else?

[Blitz Senshi]

The Executioner in Skies of Arcadia was a huge pain in the ass before I learned how effective Tackle was against him.

And there's Nightmare from Metroid Fusion...It's easy for about the first half of the fight, but then it starts to move around...and it does a HELLUVA lot of damage when it collides with you.

[Blueearth]

Yes, I know the discussion is about HARD bosses, but what about for (easy)...

DRACULA in SOTN? I mean, my god, my friends have seen me sit there with a Crissegrim and a Rune sword and beat the living sh*t out of Dracy. You just stand there and see nothing but 999 999 999 pop up all over the place.. anyways.. Hardest boss? I didn't particularly like the executioner in Skies of Arcadia, and some of those bounty fights were kinda rough... bounties level up with you. I'll post more when I think of more hardest bosses ;)

Blueearth

[Z31RaM]

i bitched out SoTN drac even worse, 2 crissagrims and 2 rings of varda = 0wn3d. and nightmare wasnt too tough once i started using missles instead of charged shots on his second form.

[Blitz Senshi]

Speaking of Symphony of the Night...Did anyone else besides me actually have fun playing as Richter?


.......Anybody?

[Cuddly PyramidHead]

Richter was little more than a novelty, seeing as how you couldn't access half of the castle with him. I had fun playing as him for about an hour, then I got bored and switched back to Alucard.

[The Dog Says No Nooblar]

Actually, you could access the entire castle, or at least the huge parts of it as Richter, instad of bat transformation, he could do that super jump infinitly, like Alucard. Unless of course there is something I'm missing.

It's definatly possible to get to the end though, I know because I've seen my friend do it, and although not worth the effort, it's possible.

[Cuddly PyramidHead]

I stand corrected. Still, I never was able to keep interest playing as Richter long enough to do anything significant.

[Ingonyama]

My votes go to:

Lavos (second and third forms) from Chrono Trigger.

Dario from Chrono Cross.

Ruby Weapon from FF7.

The first time through, these people KILLED me. I screamed out my frustration and cracked my controller first time out against Ruby...then I laughed at the ease with which it blew me away. It was only after getting 2 sets of Master Summon Materia and mastering Final Attack and Phoenix (3 times!) that I finally dented it. And all for a steenking Gold Chocobo. >_< What a waste of MP.

Lavos sucked because of the number of times I had to fight him. I had to play Trigger through three complete times before I could even start getting alternate endings. What sucked was that every time I concentrated my attack on one part of him, the other two bits wiped me out. AND GOD I HATED ACTIVE LIFE!

Dario was a different story. It's tough to fight a Black innate in Cross when two of your characters are White (read: weak against him), and one of them has atacks that miss half the time (Riddel) so you can't even power up your Elements. Since I missed the Black Plate, it made it even more fun. -_-; I only won after I gave Riddel the Prism Mail (a hefty bit of armor, that) and figured out that she was better off casting weaker attacks and stronger Elements. She seems to be the Aeris of Chrono Cross that way.

Anyway...my 2 cents. :)

[Noraean]

And there's Nightmare from Metroid Fusion...It's easy for about the first half of the fight, but then it starts to move around...and it does a HELLUVA lot of damage when it collides with you.

No offensebut that was hella easy, the problem with the bosses in that game was they all followed a strict pattern that wasnt too hard to avoid. even Ridley wasnt that hard in that game I was kindof surprised at that, and the last boss battle, fittign as it was was very dissapointing, but phenominal i must say for what it was.

Black Rabite from Seiken Densetsu 3, In my opinion, hands down THE hardest boss. Word is fastest time with characters with hacked status of level 99 took over a half an hour to kill and thats hacked. Lavos from CT was annoying but after you figure out how it works you can get it down to 10 minutes maybe 20 mins at best for the entire encounter inside the shell. Dead to Rights gets damn near retardedly hard, especially in the bath-house level, you and a girl vs. 50 guys that constantly respawn and then a boss with a huge lifebar and body armor and 2 guards with body armor and bigass life gauges, not to mention the boss kills you in about 3 hits so it isnt really fun...

Oh and most of the bosses from SaGa Frontier, ludacrisly high hp and damage, makes it really cheap sometimes...

ED: Spelling, and a few notes.

Richter also has a maneuver to get him through spikes unharmed.

And another easy boss...Shaft. With Alucard or Richter. With Alucard, you can just shred his ass with the Crissaegrim. With Richter, just Holy Rain him a few times and he's done-for.

[Bob_the_Pixie]

:roll: i tend to find Valentina from SuperMario RPG rather hard...and Baal from Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction(on Hell Difficulty) a pain in the :oops: ...and i ALWAYS find the phantom dude from Metroid 3 hard...or worse, Dark Matter from Kirby's Dream Land 2...

[hhallahh]

Wizpig on Diddy Kong Racing was so impossible. >_< I don't understand how anybody could beat him. You could literally do the race perfectly and still lose. Totally unacceptable.

>Black Rabite from Seiken Densetsu 3, In my opinion, hands down THE hardest boss. Word is fastest time with characters with hacked status of level 99 took over a half an hour to kill and thats hacked.<

Haha. I used the "cheating method" to beat the black chocobo. pwn.

And SotN was ridiculously easy.. mostly because it became a joke after I got the Crissegram. I could see how some of the bosses might be hard without it, though. I never beat the dragon twin thing in Circle of the Moon, though.

[Blitz Senshi]

:roll: i tend to find Valentina from SuperMario RPG rather hard

NOTHING about Super Mario RPG is hard. :?

[dPaladin]

What about all those hidden boxes?

[Blitz Senshi]

Tricky, but not really difficult.

EDIT: Wait, there IS something hard about SMRPG...and that's trying to get enough consecutive Super Jumps to get that special armor.

[Drone]

i realize that ff9 probly wasnt the most popular game, but anybody who has fought ozma and hasnt declared him as the hardest boss alive must be insane! .....

[Daltonius Sigma]

Probably not THE hardest, but still a pain in the ass -> Ruby Weapon FF7 and Omega Weapon in FF8 - both of them were dicks! some would argue Emerald over Ruby, but that's just how i found it.

[dPaladin]

Ozma is not the hardest boss of all time. I hated him, though. I didn't have much trouble with Omega Weapon in FF8, because I had pretty much EVERYTHING. I still haven't beaten Ruby Weapon. Emerald Weapon was a bitch but I beat it.

Omega from FF5 was pretty tough, though. DragonLord from Dragon Quest was very hard. Someone said he was easy. Maybe I just didn't know how to beat him.

Black Rabite. I never made it to it in SD. Where do you fight it?

[Bucky Brent]

I'd have to say the Jeweller Jem guy from Illusion of Gaia (after you get all the gems- I think his real name is Solidarm?). I got whooped by him. Also, the secret boss guy in Mario RPG, I can't remember his name, but the FF guy with the crystals around him. What about the easiest games to beat? I'd have to say Kirby's Dreamland on NES. I almost had it finished a few hours after I bought it. Zelda 64 was kind of a disappointment too.

[Micah]

Ruby Weapon was my hardest boss, but it is actually easy if you use the mythril band (or something like that). It gives you 50% evade. In FF6 the boss on the mountain where you get Sabin was hard for me (his name starts with a D i think), but he was hard only because all my members were poisoned from the save point and i didn't have any antidotes. My party died quite a few times because of that jerk.

[dPaladin]

SMRPG: Culex. AND HE IS NOT AN FF GUY, DAMMIT! Square just used the music for shits and giggles.

FF6: That'd be Varkas. I couldn't beat him, beacause I didn't do the Blitz right.
lmao. I was only like 9. :whatevaa:

[HamsterCorp]

While its not exactly a boss, the Las Vegas scenario in Sim City for snes. I had managed to get everything back under control after the ufo attack and was expanding the city, when they came back, undid everything that I had done, and then did even more damage. I just kinda stared at the ruins in shock for a few mins.

[chocobo150]

i dont know about if this was said, but Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch Out (listening to Scott Peeples' mix of it right now :) ), but that dude can kill you in 2 seconds flat, literally. Just one of his punches can take out 1/2 your hp. I also tried using Game Genie w/ almost infinite hp, and by the 3rd round, he knocked me down to 1/3 hp, and there were millions of blows exchanged within that time, 99.9% his, .1% mine....., and i still lost after surviving him!!! i read in gamefaqs that you have to knock him out 3 times in 1 round to beat him....... i cant even knock 1/4 of his hp out. and what is worse, is that you have one shot at him and thats it, if you lose, you game over and have to start the match before him and that dude was a pain too.

One more note: if you see Tyson blinking rapidly, you a dead man and better pray that you can dodge a 20 to 30-stream hit combo.....

[InvalidUser]

Never had a problem with the weapons in FF7, of course, by the time I fought them, what they would've given me was essentially useless (I had gotten the Gold Chocobo and a god materia setup...)

Omega Weapon in FFX was another easy one, I had a big problem with this shell monster that you fight at the Chocobo field (You have to catch monsters to make the guy make him.) because I'd beat him down, then he'd up and go back into his shell, and regen 200K HP a turn! Needless to say, I set myself up with Ultima and doublecast, and spammed the hell out of him till he dropped.

But the hardest boss, for me, by far, was Neo Granzone in Super Robot Wars 3, Aside from him having 65K HP and getting better at stopping your attacks as you damage him, he also has 2 other guys, who were the bosses of the previous level! Its a tactical RPG mind you, so when I moved in my guys to beat him down, he fired off a area effect spell... twice! It blasted like 80% of my guys!

[Blitz Senshi]

SMRPG: Culex. AND HE IS NOT AN FF GUY, DAMMIT! Square just used the music for shits and giggles.


Nope. From what I remember, Culex is either from the hard Japanese version of FFIV or from either the true FFII or III that were never released in the States. And he's not really hard if you use Geno's best magic and a whole bunch of Rock Candies. But either way, he was a damn cool boss.

"I am matter...I am antimatter...I consume time...and I will consume you!!!"

Another easy boss: the Dodongo from the original Legend of Zelda. I mean, good God! All you have to do is drop a couple bombs in his path and he's dead!!!

[DJKarma]

Culex was friggin awesome. He wasn't so hard as he was fun.

Shredder from TMNTII: The Arcade Game was pretty hard if you didn't have a second player. That move where he turns you back into wee turtles, the one hit KO, ultimate in cheapness.

Dark Falz from PSO may have already been said, but I'm saying it again if so. On normal mode he is easy, but his fourth phase that appears in hard mode is just vicious. Yay for Moon Atomizers! That's the only reason why he is even defeatable.

[Drone]

I'd have to say the Jeweller Jem guy from Illusion of Gaia (after you get all the gems- I think his real name is Solidarm?). I got whooped by him.

nothing about illusion of gaia was hard :O
and culex was easy if u got that super heavy shell armor thing and put it on the princess(she wouldnt die and could heal anybody that did die).

[Slak007]

I only read up to page 11, so this might be covered already,

Is it just me, or are the final boss levels in the Doom games seemingly impossible. I honestly don't that the developers intend for you to beat those without cheating. There's just no way.
Also, while I'm in FPS mode, Beating the WAR! mission in Perfect Dark on Perfect Agent is also extremely tough. I still haven't done it. And finally, the Primagen from Turok 2 was pretty tough.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this either, but certain RTS games can have intense "boss" fights. One incident comes to mind in Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun - Firestorm. The last mission where you have to destroy CABAL's Core and the Core Defender comes online. You spend hours fending off the enemy and doing your best to build and maintain your base while you make progress through the different battles. Suddenly, when the Firestorm defense goes offline, this previously unasuming pile of pipes and metel unfolds into a giant cyborg and just plows through your army, gets to your base and destroys it. I could never save myself from that thing no matter how I prepared for it. Finally I got the bright idea to send about 50 hovercraft mobile rocket systems undernieth the bridge that led to my main base. I unleashed everything I could on that bridge as the Core Defender walked over it. The bridge collapsed and the big thing went strait into the drink. I just blew up CABAL's Core after that and felt really proud.

[Ham]

It's just you.
Sorry, it's true. :(

Culex was from FF1 back on the nes

Although I never finished the game... I read the nintendo power walkthrough many times...

Never have I heard of Culex.

[dPaladin]

I don't remember fighting Culex outside of SMRPG.
Ever.
And I've played all the FFs.
And everything that was tagged as FF even though it wasn't (Seiken Denetsu, Saga).

No Culex.
Where do you fight him in FF?

I wrote a boss FAQ of FF4, so no one better try to say he's in there.

[don't_exist]

what did you get after you beat omega weapon in ff8?
i know you get this screen in the menu saying you have beaten the hardest boss in the game.

but didn't you get something else?

[dPaladin]

no

[don't_exist]

i got this silly idea that cloud from ff7 got mutated to ultima weapon in ff8,
you can see ultima weapon holding the sword ultima weapon (that cloud found in ff7) .

:D

[AngelOnEarth]

Ok..

The final boss, or should I say final "bosses" from Eternal Darkness was kinda hard. It was, to me, one of the nicest recent boss level I played.

I know somebody already mentioned this but yeah, Sonic Adventure 2 Biolizard boss was pretty tough too [nice music on that level btw].

This isn't a boss level but I thought I would never get past the Fear Test on Starfox Adventures! Plus, I was kinda disappointed with the final boss on that game.. :roll: Tres easy final boss I thought..but it was still a cool game.

Has anybody ever played Sword of the Berserk for Dreamcast? The FIRST stupid boss that looked like a bull?! Gawd, my fingers had blisters from that one! I thought it was pretty hard for the FIRST boss...

And I had a tough time on Code Veronica with the Tyrant from the cockpit. It took me a while to evade/shoot it/then push the button for that box thingy to push him off the plane..but I did it one day while I wasn't trying too hard and succeeded.. 8)

[Bass Clef Man]

The Song "FreQ Out" - the last song on Frequency (well there's two hidden ones but I haven't played them yet...). This song has been going in my head for weeks and I've tried to beat it constantly, but to no avail.

Otherwise, ME! Sephiroth!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :twisted:

A few pages back I said this, and got a few replies about how easy Sephiroth is. To all of you: IT WAS A JOKE.
<<<Notice the name, good sirs?

[Ferret]

Hardest boss? Tough call.
Me, personally, I'd have to say Giygas, from EarthBound.
Not only does his first form have an impenetrable shield that bounces your attacks back at you, but he has all of Ness' powers to boot.
And that's just his first form. Then his second form, his attacks have no form that can be understood, so the effect isn't known until the attack hits you.
Besides the fact that you have to fight your way past Atomic Power Robots, Ultimate Octobots, and swarms of Ghost of Starman in order to reach him.
Thank the makers for the Pray command...

[Bruk]

Definitely Bloody Mary from Terranigma. God, what a cheese-whore.

[Bahamut]

Heh, I beat Bloody Mary on my first try, even though it was a close one.

Btw, did anyone try beating Astro Man in Megaman & Bass (also known as Rockman & Forte - this game just came out on the GBA) with just Mega Man and none of Astro Man's weaknesses? Grr...pissing me off...must be the long/tough stages.

[Blitz Senshi]

I beat the ROM of Rockman and Forte ages ago with both characters (I believe), and I didn't find anything about that game very challenging...

But it's kind of irritating: Bass is better than Megaman in almost every espect in that game. Sure, he may not have a charge shot and can't shoot while he runs, but he has rapid-fire...and the dash...There was no balance between characters.

Oh, and Culex isn't from any Final Fantasy game. (I was wrong. So sue me.) In fact, Culex's opening speech was supposed to openly mock the FF series' drama and such.

(And they deserve to be mocked, especially by Nintendo...Putting "Here lies Link" on the tombstone in the Japanese FF1...Bastards...)

[The wingless]

Panzer Dragoon Orta -- The gigantic warship in the 8th level (I think) took me soooo long to beat, simply because his second form has this electric field jazz dealy that was really hard to avoid... But once you switch to glide wing and hit up and down really quick... he's a breeze

--Until you get to the final boss! It's second form tears my ass up because it has an undodgeable attack (as near as I can figure). It simply seems to mock all your hard work by presenting you with a nigh-undefeatable attack. *Sigh*, I suppose I must rent the game again.

Vagrant Story -- Any boss battle that was determined on how well you could deflect half of a fatal attack at any given moment. Practically every boss fight with a magic user was russian roulette between you and the circle button. *shudder*

Any end boss to a King of Fighters game

The end guy to Last Blade 1... 2 I can handle

Mario Sunshine -- The eel boss at the bottom of the waterfall. Good god... why do the japanese hate us soooooo?!!

I think that's about it. Ohhh the horror..

[Frozen Atari]

Ahhh Yeah, Astro man was hard with out a power!! Getting to him is also a bit hard. I always thought Ring man was hard From Mega man 4. Hell i can beat hit with Pharoshot, but when you try doing it with nothing but the mega buster on your arm... oww..~Atari

[don't_exist]

Dual Orb 2,
the first boss fighted with sticks will be a nice challenge :D

[Drone]

anybody ever try to beat smash tv without cheating? its nearly impossible

[The Coop]

O-kay. I'm probably the only person who will ever say that this boss was tough....

Dracula at the end of Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

I can't beat this shithead. I have a decent number of the cards and so forth, but no combination seems to allow me to get past his second form. Oh his first form is quite easy. But his second form? Hands me my ass everytime.
I learned how to dodge the attack where he shoots across the screen quickly, I manage to avoid the bats or whatever the hell they are most of the time. But I can never seem to get in more than one or two shots every minute. No matter how long I last, that floating eyeball out lives me.
Someday I'll figure it all out, and I'll probably kick myself for not realizing it sooner as it'll likely be something painfully simple. But for right now, I just watch that poor little dimly lit dude die again and again :lol:

[ChocoTaco]

Back in my newby gamer days in Elementary School I was stuck on "Zio" from Phantasy Star 4 for like 4 months. I had no clue and suddenly one day I got lucky and beat him.

Also one of the most confusing times in a game was Shining Force 2, where to advance any futher , you had to some how come up that the "wood chunk" you picked up in a random ancient temple fit into this randomass tree with a generic "hole" in it were the key to getting the Achilles Sword. I leveled up my guys so damn high doing so many battles trying to figure out what to do, the rest of the game was easy because of it, hehe.

hahaha, just read your post about dark forces from PS3, yes that was fucking hard!!!! I even had trouble with the PS4 one with 'burstroc' ability wren got. I had never played PS3 till I got it on GBA and holy shit, dark forces took me 9/10 of the gametime I played. sooo cheap and unfair. like the boss of the floaty island in PS4 cheapness, but wasn't the easy bitch he was.

[Amnastic]

The hardest boss ever is the final boss in DOOM2. I know that it's just a picture on the wall, but hundreds of enemies popping up behind you can be kinda distracting.

[A-RoN]

Can somebody pleeeeeaaaassse tell me how to defeat that wierd FF9 monster in Memoria that sucks all your strength, snorts one party member out, and gives you the silent claw? It's been really giving me a hard time!

[don't_exist]

This will be hard, try it if you want :D

1. It's in FF7
2. Only have Cloud alive, or in the party (if it's possible)
3. Equip buster sword, and no magic.

Then you just go to ruby weapon and begin to fight

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[The Author]

Doable...

Level 99.

No magic = loads of support materia.

[don't_exist]

doesn't matter,
you buster sword will still do like 100~200 :roll: damage,
an this guy have 1 000 000 8O life :D


...

Is it possible to beat Ruby Weapon that way?
I mean, if you have a certain equipment, so you can't get hurt?

[The Author]

Never said it would be easy, but isnt there a HP drain materia for attacks.

[don't_exist]

pretty sure it wont work on ruby or emereld weapon.

... didn't the weapon going to save the earth when it was in danger?

.... how come cloud and his pals wanna kill them?

[The Author]

Well, I guess you missed the whole "save the planet by killing all humans" part.

[don't_exist]

what if the weapons didn't get killed,
maybe they where going to destroy sephiroth and the meteor.
? :)

[psycho ninja gt]

you guys might not agree... but who cares. the last leader from pokemon puzzle challenge on the ultimate difficulty level on game boy color. that one required you to play defensively moreso than offensively. offensive combos and such had to be executed at just the right time. but thats a fast paced puzzle game, at times... there are too many hard bosses out there. (rpg's dont really count to me unless i make it more difficult for myself by not leveling up enuff or using crap weapons.)

[gandhis fist]

you wanna talk about a game that is freaking impossible, try Gauntlet 2 for NES, one of the hardest games ever...

[and Poisonpikachu too!]

you wanna talk about a game that is freaking impossible, try Gauntlet 2 for NES, one of the hardest games ever...

It never ended!!! NEVER!!! I wasted years with the game on and a second player to beat that game! Never did I succeed.

Also, the last guy from 'Vagrant Story' was nigh-impossible. My alignments must've been wrong, and my chains were never enough... In the end, 1 hit would always kill me and I didn't beat him until one day I was so drunk and stoned that I didn't care anymore and got really lucky with a 21-hit chain with the damn Executioner's Sword that I later renamed 'Strike from the Heart.'

Ah, I hated that.

[Ferret]

Although I said Giygas was the hardest boss, I wasn't thinking. Yeah, he's hard...but how insanely hard can he really be? I beat the game, after all, without even breaking a sweat. So I take it back. Giygas isn't the hardest boss I've ever encountered.

Lavos is. Through sheer length of battle, Lavos is the hardest boss I've yet encountered...though this may change :mrgreen:

I know he's not the hardest boss, but Juno, from Mega Man Legends, is the most annoying. I had nightmares of circling around that bozo shooting at him. Sometimes it's better to have a sidescrolling game than a 3D one...

[Kiyosuki]

Goenitz from King of Fighters 96. No fighting game boss has yet to even reach his level of pure, ridiculous cheapness. (Justice from Guilty Gear is second, but not close by far)

And the multiple boss fight in Gradius III. Not the SNES version but the Arcade version. OMFG. I never did beat the arcade one...

[Z31RaM]

goenitz = pure unadulterated evil. although omega rugal from the new KoF dream match is a very close second to goenitz's level of cheaposity.

[gandhis fist]

another impossible game for you, Super Ghosts and Ghouls for SNES, that game was also freaking impossible, I don't think i ever even beat the first level.

[gandhis fist]

It never ended!!! NEVER!!! I wasted years with the game on and a second player to beat that game! Never did I succeed.


Yeah, apparently there are like a couple hundred levels to that crap, I never finished it once. I don't think there is a person in the world that ever saw the end to that game, and if they did, they are probably dead. Nintendo probably put a hit on 'em so no one would ever be able to talk about the end of that game.

[Span-Kofficus]

you wanna talk about a game that is freaking impossible, try Gauntlet 2 for NES, one of the hardest games ever...

When I was younger, I played Gauntlet 2 for about 4 hours once... I got to level 254 or something, and that's when I decided that it was unbeatable, especially after levels began to repeat themselves.

There was this dragon thing that you were supposed to kill, and it just shot fireballs and stuff at you, I eventually learned that I could stay far enough away to the point where it couldn't hit me, but I could hit it, and I killed it just like that. The announcer dude would say something like "I've not seen such bravery!" or something, and the points would start racking up.
