All Time Hardest Boss

[Toasty!]

i had alot of trouble with dario in CC. i guess i wasn't leveled up as high as i should have been. the second time was much easier. thank you newgame+!

[Fyreseel]

OMG... no one here has dealt with the insanity that is Justice from Guilty Gear or the final form of I-No on GGX2, have they? >.o Absolute humilitation.

Also, Uber Soldat from RtCW is another one of my non-faves. ^.^

~Fyreseel

[Tranquil Chaos]

Sephiroth has been whoopin' me something terrible in Kingdom Hearts... This battle is pure evil.

Also that Ice Demon thing is freaking hard.

[Wallace Guyford]

has to be Ridley of Super Metroid. Whenever I got up to him, my super missles were mostly gone and there were no nearby missle tanks or easy enemies. NEVER could I get him past being slightly redder than he was, before all of my life was gone... until finally, after having fought him for several hours, on my 30th try, I just let loose everything I had, didn't use any strategy. I just screw-jumpped around like a mad man, every now and then shooting missles, until I came to a point where I was just mashing the Fire button as fast as I could, until he finally died. I beat him with like 17 energy on my reserve tank.

all you hadta do waz steal black plate from the black dragon and equip serge with it. Theres almost no way he could die because dario's physical attacks werent THAT powerful <granted he could drain your health pretty good, but with black plate, his elemental attacks just heal you :D >


edit: verb tense problems...

[Fyreseel]

Another thing: dont smack him wiff While elements. Dont even look at your white elements. Just lay the physical beatdown on him thick and heavy and use greens to heal.

~Fyreseel

Well, I agree that Justice and I-no were pretty tough, but those guys are LOWER TIER compared to the King of Fighters bosses.

I dare anybody to say that Igniz is an easy boss. I DARE YOU :?

yea what he said

[Kiyosuki]

Ino from GGX2 is kind of hard, but once you know her pattern she's pretty easy actually. You just can't rush in like you normally can, she's designed to counter that. She doesn't take hits very well I noticed.

Justice has just ...no. No pattern, no nothing. just lightning quick reflexes and execution on moves, no mercy, abuse of the instant kill, counters, super speed, did I say no sense of mercy? Justice was just chaos unleashed on you, (But once you got the hang of just how abusable Sol's dashing HS was, the rushing flaming kick he doesn't have anymore, nothing could withstand that.) still no match for Goenitz though...

I forgot about Ridley, he was actually pretty tough in Super. Very little pattern to follow, it mostly depended on your reflexes and how much you could last really.

Oh, lets not forget Nightmare in Devil may Cry, on Dante Must Die. Annoyance level like, infinity.

[Veovis]

Oh, lets not forget Nightmare in Devil may Cry, on Dante Must Die. Annoyance level like, infinity.

Any part of devil may cry on dante must die is hell. anyone who can finish that game without cheating on that mode deserves a medal.

[Z31RaM]

i dont see how people could think ridley was tough, honestly...but to each their own. i kicked the crap outta him my first time around, but someone else i know took 50 something tries on him...

[Kiyosuki]

Oh I passed Dante Must Die, but it wasn't easy. The whole game strategy is to basically survive till you get enough power to use your Devil Trigger (I HIGHLY suggest you get as many devil stars as you can on previous difficulties) use your devil trigger to its fullest power and advantage, then when it runs out survive till you get enough power to use it again, then repeat. The whole game was bascially to try to get to devil trigger. ONLY way to survive....o.O; My god it was hard. DMC2 was nothing compared to this madness..

It took me 2 tries to get Ridley, he was definitely tough but if you were fast enough on the reflexes you could rough it.

[Ronyn]

I played this rom of Seiken Densetsu 3 (Unreleased sequel to Secret of Mana). Whoever programmed that rom must have thought they were real funny. Near the end, I couldn't beat this Black Knight boss to save my life. And whenever I cheated and beat him the game froze. Only boss I never beat... :(

[marionette]

probably said a dozen times, but...

i would have to say the 2nd hardest was the weapon (forget name, omega?) on the last stage of ff8... he was a bitch and you didn't get crap, but it was worth it if you actually beat him.. sheer joy from beating such a bastard

hardest would be omni (right name? sphere boss) on ff9... sonuva, he was evil... beat him after the 5th try or so, geez.. it takes pure luck really

[snarfoogle]

Dude! Darkshine Knight is easy! Did you class change the second time? He's weak against fire, use Fire Sabers if you have them.

And, get this, HE'S NOT THE LAST BOSS. There's another final dungeon, and two stronger bosses.

I think my hardest boss is the Dragon Emporer from Seiken Densetsu 3. I used Deadly Weapon to cut his maximum HP by 1/5. It did 11,000 damage. He beat my ass down. I killed him eventually, though.

No! Scratch that. The Black Rabite from Seiken Densetsu 3. If you cast a dark spell, he'll counter by summoning a LEVEL 99 ENEMY against you.

[Jogilius]

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).

http://www.finamatica.com/ramon/Spramloves.gif

Chh... not even close to toughest. In fact, as mediocre as it gets.

My vote for most unfair last boss goes to Shadow Warrior. Haven't tried it that much since it had a feature of superduper-unfairness that made you try it from the beginning of that entire world if you lost the match. And in addition, when you had beat the first part from it that already seemed nearly impossible, there was the second twice as impossible part left to beat.

(or this is how I remember it)

[Jogilius]

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.

It's quite difficult, but I played till it said that I'd have to find a key from a previous level to get further... Cheese...

anyhoo, difficult or not, the question was about bosses.

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.


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.


What if there were 255 levels (11111111 in binary)? :p

(255 was the maximum in rupees in Zelda 1)

[Jogilius]

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.

Muah... piece of cake. Not 100% success if playing on Ultra Violence + (that is ultra violence with faster enemies and enemy fire). But, when you don't know how to beat it (that is to hit the exact spot), it's... well, I think the boss would be better with a larger area to hit but having to use more rockets...

John Romero's head sure is scary. :p

[JesustheDarkLord]

There were probably 256 levels, since there is no level 0. In Zelda, there was a range of wealth from 0-255, or 256 different states. :) You must have been close.

[Queezenorph]

the reason that 255 was the maximum number of rupees is because only one byte of the NES's RAM was allotted to the number of rupees that you could carry, and 255 is the maximum value that one byte can contain..... That might explain the level scheme for Gauntlet 2, but maybe not.

[Javis]

Ozma (was that his name?) from FF9...that huge multicolored spherical monster. I have yet to beat him to this day.

[bloodydust]

this thread's gone insanely long, and there's some real nice discussion. truthfully, the evil dark angel thing at the end of demon's crest wasn't SO bad if you knew what you were doing...

ubersoldat from RtCW? hahahaha he RULES! it's actually quite easy to take him out if you play cat and mouse with him around that divider on his floor. he'll eventually run out of rockets and his other ammo, and once he starts to really limp it's all over for him.

i wanna say alexia's final form from resident evil: code veronica. good christ that freaking harlot totally 0wned my ass every time.

the icon of sin from doom2 wasn't that hard. yes, the 324684643216546876 enemies spawning in every .4 seconds were a distraction, but as long as you were quick on the uptake you could plug all 3 rockets through the hole in baphomet's skull in one try. and if you used a source port that allowed freelook, you could cheat and do it straight from where the switch was.

super metroid's ridley wasn't NEARLY as tough as his metroid fusion incarnation. oh my god, that was damn near impossible. a friend of mine was basically screaming her head off for days over it, though it took me only about 5 tries. i actually had more trouble with SA-X right after crawling back into the jungle biodome after turning the power on in the overgrown powerplant. i also had the hardest time with the final boss of metroid prime. those little bastard fusion metroids have got to be the worst enemy i have ever seen, and after screaming and cursing at the little shits who make it just so impossible to get through that big chamber, i finally get to the metroid prime and end up being spider food. even harder than that was the omega pirate. omega pirate = TYRANT

the infected predator about 75% of the way through the arcade beat-em-up version of aliens v.s. predator must have eaten about $5 in quarters alone.

nihilanth from halflife was tough the first couple of times but it's not so bad once you really learn how to play that game.

i dunno if you really could count him as a boss, but gunther hermann from deus ex REALLY put up a fight. when i first fought him in the templar cathedral my character wasn't really set up for a real firefight (i was an excellent sniper, and if the need arose i could assault-rifle someone to death at point blank range, but i was mostly built for long-range assassination, and short-range silent-kills) and he had a freaking plasma rifle. i finally managed to take him out by way of hiding in a room upstairs and sniping him from around the corner. interestingly enough i had no trouble with walton simons, i fed him grenade rounds from my assault rifle (which i had just discovered i could do, haha). on a side note, bob page from the very end wasn't even a boss! haha, i love this game, it's so deep.

another difficult boss... the fistfight with liquid snake in metal gear solid. sometimes he's easy, and sometimes he kicks my ass a million times. also tough is ultra box from metal gear 2: solid snake.

that's all i can think of at the moment...

[AntiCloud]

raaaaaahfl. That boss was so easy :D Hardest boss from MG2:SS was the hind. That took me so many tries to get...

Hardest boss though would have to be Zeon, the end boss from Shining Force II. He kicked my ass no matter what I did.and since he was stationary against a wall, it meant you couldn't surround him, cause then he'd use this breath attack and there went 1/3 your char's HP. (He had like... 1000 hp or something) (characters inflicting, at most, 40 damage)

[yuber of the eightfold]

Most of the bosses in Lunar 1 and 2 are bitches. Also Ozma from FF9 and Ruby and Emerald Weapons from FFVII.
Most pain in the ass boss was Time Devour in Chrono Cross, since you had to match up some pattern, but he keeps messing it up for you. Hes easy normally, but pain in the ass if you want the true ending.

[Master X]

Solidus Snake in the Harrier, MGS2:SoL. I got some good strategy but its hard to keep up. I think my game save puts me in the fight with 1 ration. Hell.

[Jogilius]

Another BAB (Bad Arse Boss)-
Marion from Double Dragon 3. Any dissagreements? ^_^

yea what he said

Well, okay, I don't disagree with this, but I have to make a tiny correction. Marion is the maid, Noiram is the bitch. :)

[Jogilius]

Anyone that says the optional bosses in the FFs are easy (Ruby, Emeral weapons/Ozma and the kinky FF5 stupid poopies) are NERDS!

Actually any one taking part in this conversation is a nerd! o_O

[Jogilius]

Dude, you all forgot those stupid monsters in Cobra Triangle. Well, the first 2 aren't that bad but after that... Not to mention that to even get to the 3rd or 4th monster in that game is freaking impossible because of the icebergs. The reach the finish iceberg level is death.

Cobra Triangle is so freakin' hard. The one boss has one-hit kills for goodness sakes, and the shark boss you have to get multiple, good, solid hits EVERY time he pops up, which in itself is a miracle, because you will run out of time if you don't. So hard.

Btr'dSqrl

Cobra triangle was hard and especially those time limit bosses can be bitchy. There were some 23 levels or something? And 2 or 3 bosses in the end? The fire dragon that didn't take that much hits and the shark at least. Any way, it's a game from RARE, so it's a good game, so I beat it. :)

Battletoads (from RARE) wasn't that easy either but it stayed interesting to the end and everytime you tried you got a little bit further. One of the best NES games...

[Jogilius]

Here's a fun one. Shub-Niggurath from Quake.

I know, I know... once you figure out what you're supposed to do, it's so easy it's sad. But, until you figured it out, how many times did you die trying to blast that ugly bitch away?

I guess it's an ID software thingie, since the same goes for goonaibuliiivinbulitilahexamileuu aka Icon thrower alias John Romero's Head... Well, I guess it's not that hard to figure out to shoot the brain thingie, but it's not that easy to hit it, so you can start wondering if you are trying to do the correct thing. Anyway, that would be as hard as a cacodemon if you could aim upwards. :p

[Prievert]

Well, in my opinion sov-khan, the final boss in slave zero, is the hardest boss ever - because you can't defeat him as there isn't enough ammo in the last level. pretty nice huh?
The hardest defeatable bosses are the endboss in Chrono Trigger and Xenogears.... I generally hate end-bosses where you have to spend about 10 hours just powering up your characters so that you can defeat them...

[Dafter]

Maybe The Nigthmare in Metroid Fusion, He´s kinda creepy don´t you think?

[Mamour]

Maybe The Nigthmare in Metroid Fusion, He´s kinda creepy don´t you think?

I even had trouble beating that sucka' with savestates the first time around. Heh.

[dPaladin]

Solidus Snake in the Harrier, MGS2:SoL. I got some good strategy but its hard to keep up. I think my game save puts me in the fight with 1 ration. Hell.

Just roll around like a gymnast on crack. I beat him on extreme with 2 rations.

And I beat the Metal Gear Rays on extreme with 1 GameSharks.

Those were too hard for the Paladin. On extreme, there are like 25 of them. I believe that someone in game tells you that there were 25 total made. Still, not as hard as Metal Gear REX from MGS on extreme. I beat the game like 20 times on normal, wrote a walkthrough for it (thats what I do), and I still couldn't get past the Hind D on Extreme. When I did (gameshark), I found MG REX to be quite impossible.

As for nightmare, I don't see where anyone had problems with it. I think I already said this, but he only took me 2 tries. And I only lost the first time because I didn't know where to hit him. But I can see how the whole BODY SLAM! (flying into you) thing could screw you up.

Escaping from that damned SA-X is tougher though. That time when you can't find anywhere else to go.

...

Endboss in Chrono Trigger? You obviously mean Lavos. No leveling up for me, but I was on level 35-40 with all the Rainbow and Frog & Marle's double heal. Takes 20 minutes max to win. No leveling up.

Someone mentioned Time Devourer? Yeah, I needed something that boosts your stamina 3 before I could get the good ending. Got 3 of them (one for each char). and casted 6 spells at the offset. in the right order of course. :). But I hated taking all that time...

[Pogo]

Most pain in the ass boss was Time Devour in Chrono Cross, since you had to match up some pattern, but he keeps messing it up for you. Hes easy normally, but pain in the ass if you want the true ending.

Actually... when i fought it, it only cast OmegaGreen and OmegaYellow, so all you have to do is cast the other elements, and let the TimeDevourer cast the green or yellow when it's that time of the sequence...

as in... (i don't remember the sequence, but if it's green red blue yellow white black...) THIS IS PROBABLY THE WRONG ORDER.

you wait for TD to cast omegagreen. then you cast a red and a blue. then you wait for the omegayellow, and then cast a white and a black.

and that's it... i don't remember if you have to cast the Chrono Cross before the sequence or after it. i think it's before.

EDIT: oh yeah, and it really wasn't that hard to beat TD to death... i mean, on my first New Game + with just Serge, it was cake. Maybe i just put too much work into custom-allocating my elements...

[dPaladin]

You use the Chrono Cross after you get all the elements in the right order.

[Bucky Brent]

one insane boss that I remember (I can't think of his name though) is the final boss in Unreal Tournament. Freakin insane.

[DarkPrinceLuca]

guys look... it is definitively the black rabite in secret of mana 2...
:roll:

[Dread Pirate Salty Pete]

Xan is the final boss in UT.

[gandhis fist]

Any part of devil may cry on dante must die is hell. anyone who can finish that game without cheating on that mode deserves a medal.

Where is my medal?

[Nareen!]

Anyone who have finished the final boss in Battletoads?
Without falling through the stage of course... (is that a glitch?)

[Duos_Acolyte]

Sigma from Megaman X is just a total loser
i eventually beat the hell outta him after i saw the pattern of the man, the dog, and the kick ass robo machine thingy

damn those eletrical shocks basically killed you in one shot
also, touch the claws and you are pretty much dead

the Dog is simple, you jump around on the sides, charging up your blaster, then when you get to red, you jump down, wait for doggy, then let loose :)

Sigma regular form was also ez, wielding only a bludgeoning weapon: a lightsaber??, he can only jump at you trying to kill you with just a swing

i find that if you maintain your position near the upper right or left corner of the wall, you can wait for him to scale the walls, and then jump back down, then you let loose when your waiting :)

ive eventually beaten the robo mech sigma after i used up all 4 of my sub tanks, most of my weapons, and left around 5 bars of health

if anyone has beaten this guy, plz discuss strat :P

[bLiNd]

I dont know if someone already said this in the 50 pages of posts from last may!! not sure if this is the hardest but definately the hardest for me i guess...Zelda2 - shadow link!! aaaaaaa It was hard as hell. but the biggest feat ive ever done was getting all the platinums in Blast Corps for n64. Oh and i beat sigma in megaman x a while back but i used the haduken cheat (within the game) so that doesnt really count hah

[don't_exist]

remember crash bandicot for playstation?

you went like, THAT TIME!
how will i get that gold trophy in time trial!
impossible!

and finilly you did !

YES

8O

!?
HOW WILL I GET THAT PLATINUM TROPHY IN TIME TRAIL!!?

and in alla levels, that was so extrem ULTRA HARD!

The final form of Sigma on Mega Man X was damn near impossible. you could only do damage with a maximally charged blast of your regular buster gun and you had to avoid all of his hits first. The most difficult thing you had to avoid right before there'd be an opening for attack was this death from above blast that went across the screen. You could avoid them but they were spaced so close together, and did so much damage, they wore down your life pretty quick. My strategy was to leave my gun charged up, but if he did that attack, I switched guns (without losing the charge) to this chameleon thing or something that let you turn invisible/invulnerable when you charge up, then used up my blast to do that. As soon as the attack passed me by I switched back to regular buster cannon and had just enough time to charge up and blast Sigma while he was exposed. I used all of my extra secondary weapon tanks with that strategy, and all of my life tanks too but it kept me alive long enough to finally take him down with a few life bars to spare.

I don't think I'd have the patience to fight that battle properly, without using that strategy. Too long, too precise.

[Noraean]

Duos and damathacus, please, that was the easy part. Simply putting it, the hadoken owns all. Period. GG, GJ, 1 minute for all of sigma and his minions. :wink:

[Cpt_Zach]

Xan is the final boss in UT.
This guy is a tough bastard. He doesn't miss you when he fires, and this is on the skillful difficulty. I would hate to see him on inhuman!

[mslano]

Just something to add about Sigma in Megaman X. His final form can be damaged with the gun you get from the Armadillo (I cannot recall the name right now - it's been too long since I've played this game). The dog and Sigma's first form are cake. The best way to kill the dog is to immediately fire a hadoken when he jumps to the left wall. He will land and get hit, instantly dying in the process. As for Sigma, the best thing to do is use the Electric Spark gun (from Spark Mandrill) and wait in the top left corner. When he's about to reach the corner, drop down and shoot to the right. On the ground, wait a second until he hits about midway up the wall and shoot again to the right before jumping onto the wall.

[Cathurian MoMo]

I hated the ACTUAL final boss in the bouncer. I spent all the time going through, maxing all my characters out and then I was expecting to waste the final boss. Nope, not only does he acheive S-Rank max stats, but he also gains another form. I must've spent a total of 10 hours replaying that boss fight before I finally beat him! And the crappy ally AI in the game didn't help either.

[JesustheDarkLord]

The guy at the end of the original bubble bobble is pretty tricky, and I like to think of myself as a hard boss on SSBM :). Also, the final bowser on the original SMB ;)

[The Coop]

I got one.

Darius Gaiden, level "X". The final boss is a very large crab. The thing is wider than it is high, and it has two claws that it waves around as part of it's attack. The fact that you have not much room to move around the screen to dodge the attacks of this thing is bad enough, but varying types of bullets (normal and homing), these two BIG claws being waved around, the thing walking from one side to the others and the fact that it takes so many hits to kill EVEN WITH FULL POWER ON ALL WEAPONS... it's just insane.

I had three continues, three ships per continue, three Black Hole Bombs per ship, when I got to this thing. I used EVERY bomb and shot the hell out of it's weak spot. It didn't die. That boss is evil...

[Atomic Dog]

What!? He was a pussy! I raped him with Kou in like 3 minutes.

[Atomic Dog]

btw... hardest boss... Metal Gear Solid 2. Play it on hard and you have to face like 50 mechs at once, in intervals of 3.

[bloodydust]

btw... hardest boss... Metal Gear Solid 2. Play it on hard and you have to face like 50 mechs at once, in intervals of 3.

more like 25, that's the total that were made.

[Viewtiful Fig]

Very early in the thread (Pages 2-4?), I read a bunch of comments on how hard Dr. Wily was in Mega Man 4. Let me tell you how many tries that bastard took.

Three. :lol:

Well, not his last form. Took me a minute to figure out what the hell to do, then another few to actually do it right. Asshat.

But he wasnt the hardest boss ever. No way.

[dPaladin]

Bloodydust...
I said that, its 25, not 50, and you just DOUBLE POSTED!

[FhearTehSp00n]

Oh the WORST boss ever would have to be that damn ball in PONG. How in the hell were you suppoed to beat that thing. No matter how mush you hit it it always bounced back.

Oh and that damned Playsation 2 logo when you boot up your PS2.It never gave you enough time to beat up that thing. It would ALWAYS run away.

Silly comments are needed when topics exceed 50 pages. They spice things up.

2 cents-In

[Atomic Dog]

more like 25, that's the total that were made.

*ahem*shaddup*cough*

[FhearTehSp00n]

In seriousness, I think one of the HARDEST game bosses would have to Amakusa and Zankuro from the Samurai Showdwon series. Holy Crap they were little jackasses.

2 cents-In

[Kiyosuki]

Amakusa wasn't actually that bad, if you had the guts to look like a fool and hit him a few times and wait for the time out. ^^; Nothing beats Samurai Spirits 2's last boss though. I can't believe I forgot to mention her. Man, SNK loves to make its bosses painfully hard. I can't wait to see what monstrousity they make for their version of Arcade SNK vs Capcom.

Heh, Shin M.Biakuochi Goenizerogill. With raging demon, M.Bison's speed and supers, Goenitz's regular moves and power, Gill's ability to ressurect, Zero's cheapness, and Shin. Sounds like fun.

[FhearTehSp00n]

Yeeesh, I forgot about her. God she was an ass clown. Hows about friggin CyberAkuma Or Onslaught. They were dam near impossible for me until I ACTUALLY started figuring out when to attack.

But M.Bison.....Whoa. You know how much I hated the battle in Street Fighter Alpha 3 when you do the mission mode. After you clear U.S.A which you think is the final stage.....WRONG.

No, you go to that silly little island where you get REAMED by the 2 M.Bison dramatic battle. That Psycho Crusher was INSANE!!! It took me like 3 months to beat it with friggin Sakura.

[bloodydust]

*ahem*shaddup*cough*

hurr

[hobs0n]

Man you all are such hardcore gamers... dont you have a life? :twisted: :P

Makes me feel like a total n00b altho I have been playing since the days of c64 and nes :)

I think the hardest boss I ever fought(and remember) was the two badass weapons in FF7... the one in the sea and the one in the dessert..

[Israfel]

Hmmm...dessert.

[Meiguoren]

So I just gots me some Super Punch-Out and I'm going crazy. My adreneline is pumping and my hands are shaking.

I didn't see me some Super Punch-Out anywhere in this list (but an old man's memory is fuzzy) so I'm going to bring some.

Hoy Quarlow. I know he's not technically a boss, but goddamn is this guy hard. I can't knock him down. He's just too fast. I've seen his moves, I've even tried to study the telegraphers, but I just can't get it down.

Not once have I beat this guy. Not when I was a kid, not last year, and not after two days of owning my own cart.

And I shiver with fear just thinking about the Bruisers.

[Frost_Walrus]

Hardest Boss eva......MegaMan X3
THE GOD DAMNED CRAWFISH!!!!!
I swore that till the day I die, I will hunt him down and make him pay!!! I will feast on the flesh of the living!!!

Actual hardest boss would probably have to be Dhaos from Tales of Phantasia. Great game, but Dhaos beat my ass a whole lot.

[Blitz Senshi]

I don't know if I mentioned this already, but I had a hard time with Miguel in Chrono Cross...I probably sound like I really suck, but for some reason, that guy was a total pain in the ass for me.

[elman]

Hello? No one's ever played Armored Core: MoA?

The last boss was RIDICULOUSLY hard!
He had every type of weapon in the game, and could fly!
It's my favorite boss battle of all time...

[Boogiep0pPhantom]

For me, the hardest boss I've fought was the last two bosses of Breath of Fire 2. They make you go through an insanely hard dungeon for like two hours and then fight an insanely hard boss, followed by more impossible dungeon, and the last boss. That took me months to finally beat.

[Rexy]

I say Robotnik in Sonic Spinball. It's a bit hard to keep inside the boss table while trying to hit him at the same time. -_-

The cyberdemon from Doom. Sorry kiddies but he ownz you.

D00D. EZ FIGHT. RUN AROUND IN A CIRCLE UNTIL THE SPIDER MASTERMIND HITS THE CYBER DEMON! THEN THEY WILL DUKE IT OUT. then it takes about 3 rockets to kill off the victor

[DisTORteD_DreAM]

**Warning Chrono Trigger Spoilers Ahead**

Okay My Current Hardest Boss is in Chrono Trigger... Now if I can set the Tempo for why it's hard then maybe you'll understand...

Firstly: CRONO on Lv. 16, MARLE on Lv. 16 and ROBO on Lv. 12... Secondly Fighting LAVOS (end Boss) the first time you can select too... For those who don't know what I mean... Basically once you reach THE END OF TIME, you just have to obtain MAGIC then you can use the BUCKET WARP which teleports you to 1999 A.D. DAY OF LAVOS...

Fighting LAVOS at different stages of the game means you get different endings and/or funny things happen. It also means you can finish the game very quickly as once LAVOS is Beaten it's the End (obviously)

Well I want to see all the Endings so I decided to take on LAVOS straight away to get first ending well now he's turned his ATTACK MODE to MAGUS.... for those who don't know MAGUS Requires the FROG to Have MASAMUNE (think that's correct spelling) otherwise you only do an average of 12 hits of health (normal bad guys take around 111 from CRONO), I need to eventually do a total of 6666 (ooh spooky) anyway FUCKING HARD!!!

... Maybe need to level up more... hmmmm...

3 rockets? WTF! FAR MORE... CyberDemon is far more superior to Spider Mastermind, so to finish him off, lots of rockets are needed... And especially when there are lots of enemies around, Spider Mastermind's lifespan decreases faster since minigun is an efficient way to make other baddies angry.

That's level 20 btw. But that isn't even a difficult level in the end. The most difficult ones, when playing the levels the one & only way (Ultra violence starting off with only the pistol and without saving) are probably levels 23 and 29. Or that's how I remember it.

anyway, theCore, if you think Cybbies are difficult (which they aren't, they are just so goddamn long-lasting), try my level, in which you get to telefrag some Cybbies:

http://www.sunpoint.net/~jogilius/Pentagon.zip

Telefragging cybbies was indeed the original idea when I started building that level, but the level grew more complex, and is in UV very difficult, but very much possible. I think I've played it through twice on uv without cheating. Doom Mega-mayhem...

..... Impossible.

Most of his attacks will be enough to kill any 16 level character.


Someone here is bullshiting us.

But hey, the New Game plus is the best way to see all endings...

[DisTORteD_DreAM]

OI arashi no tora!!!

I NEVER said I SURVIVED his attacks I just said I got that FAR when fighting him... So you can take your "Someone here is bullshiting us." and Stick it up your Arse... Sorry Everyone but I Won't be talked to in that way...

[The Author]

Well, just the intro attack from the first Lavos is a 250 damage attack.

[Israfel]

Well, just the intro attack from the first Lavos is a 250 damage attack.


Which makes him a pretty darn hard boss. *looks at thread topic* :P

[The Author]

Well... yeah... right, Lavos... hard....

....

Anyway... if you would fight Final Kefka at level 16, would he be hard ?

And the One Winged angel Sephiroth at level 20 ?


That must mean they are the hardest boss ever....

[DisTORteD_DreAM]

Just Checked and Crono has 277 health and Robo has 265... so do the math... anyway that's enough of me Defending myself (you gotta admit this is childish to fight over)...

Anyway arashi no tora, you got a point in what you said in your last message:

"Anyway... if you would fight Final Kefka at level 16, would he be hard ?

And the One Winged angel Sephiroth at level 20 ?


That must mean they are the hardest boss ever...."

so I guess that we all have to take things from Perspective.

(Warning Final Fantasy X Spoiler Ahead)
In FFX I took out my Aeons with an Overkill every hit... My Friend got killed by almost all his Aeons (thank god for the Faeyth)...
(End of Spoilers)

Especially in the Case of RPG's it just depends on Your Level and skill... also I thought the Topic was asking what each of OUR All Time Hardest Boss was... I mean it's impossible to say one boss is the Hardest over all... I mean I found DOA2's Tenchu (or whatever his name was) to be really hard... I eventually got good enough to beat him within 5 tries... so in retrospect we all need to take into consideration each others Skill.

On a side note i took on Sepiroth's Last form (well technically second to last) with No Level 4 Limit Breaks and on a very low level... can't remember exactly so i must say he was MY second hardest boss of all time... (I Survived on HP Materia alone, and of course a little skill 8) , just if you were wondering(on another side note i got my arse whooped by him approx. 20 times in one session... took a week to finally beat him, lost count of overall defeats))

[StriderYoko]

IMHO i beleive that no rpg boss is hard, and with the propper leveling can be beaten.

Cerberus, triple aura, let him reduce me to 1 hp, and use holy war.

After this failed I tried fighting him the "traditional way"

But Omega Weapon, at level 100 is a bitch.

[Doulifée]

Lavos is a though one indeed, but i have unlocked all the ending of chrono so i fought him again and again; it's not a thought one now!!

actually i vote for Meta-Ridley in hard mode in metroïd prime !!

the key to beating this guy is patience, takes 30+ min, but its not the hardest boss i ever fought against. wouldnt recommend the holywar route,
try to keep all chars alive and as fully healed as possible

[Daedalus]

Heh, if any of you are familiar with the Saturn version of Virtual-On, then you know Z-Gradt with Viper II is damn near impossible before time runs out.

Super Beryl from Sailor Moon: Another Story, for the Famicon.

i think the hardest boss in any video game is...well...i don't know, but a hard one is probably on the 54th or 53rd lvl boss of zombies ate my nieghbors when the friendly scientist drinks the kool-aid and turns into the giant spider thing that, i swear i'm not making this up, i used 99 bullets from the bazooka on this sucka and i missed only twice 8O! the funniest thing is...

In Final Fantasy VII (During my second Time around with a Walkthrough) I found out the best Strategy... Breed a Black Chocobo, Find the Final Attack Materia (Makes you attack with junctioned Materia when your health runs out), Do a Shit Load of Fighting till it Ferments and Replicates 2 times, equip all three to your active Characters and Junction Each to... (Drum Roll)... PHEONIX (don't forget to replicate 2 of these as well)!!!... basically Pheonix does a Schweet arsed Fire Attack then Revives all Characters... Basically... YOU DIE THEN YOU GET RAISED AGAIN!!!... YAY... anyway that's my PERFECT STRATERGY... now all I gotta do is BREED the Damn BLACK CHOCOBO and my Plan will be Finalized... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


(You Don't need to replicate the Materias above... only it makes it 100% impossible to die, I have heard about people who have miscast Pheonix and still Died)

[HamsterCorp]

Concering the Cyberdemon, sure, you can get them to fight other things, but the worst one is the one in the second secret level of Doom2. You finish off a bunch of nazis, thinking everything is all right, then you open a door and right behind it is a cyberdemon. One of those "HOLY FUCK" moments.

[DL-Oddeye]

Yawn, FInal Fantasys Weapons have always been a joke.

FF8 Omega weapon just go at him with level 99 characters use squal riona and selph with auras and well junctioned magic.

FF7 Ruby, go in with 2 people dead at the start, cast phnx and then the usual KOTR 2x mime combo(with magic plus for that extra slap and hp mp absorb paried with wsummon and a second copy of KOTR
You can drop both ruby and emeral weapon in 1 to 2 turns this way.

Was wasy to easy
Just in case Final Attack with phnx to keep ya alive.

Lets see. star ocean, well Dark Angle is almost hard. however I found a trick for that as well.
Noel, Claude, Dias, Ashton all equiped with Blood armor and good attack equipment.

Noel just constantly casts heal
The boss cant hurt ya with blood armor, just keep noels MP up and the game is yours.

Noly and I mean only boss that has remotely given me even a slight challenge.
Lapiz From Legend of legia Koru also did as you only have 6 turns to kill him.
Secret to both fo these guys was the poit card lol

the last guy in robocop vs terminator for genesis...I think it was the genesis one...where you fight this floating terminator head and just have to avoid blasts and terminators while shooting the head over and over again for about a half hour literally before it dies.

oh and ff7 ruby weapon? use hades...stuns him

[MasterSword]

MASA&MUNE?! ARE U KIDDING?!

OK here they are:

Bebop in TMNT2 the arcade....if u even GOT to him.

Motaro in UMK3 on Master and Very Hard. Just forget it. THe games programmers don't ALLOW you to win.

And the all time hardest boss to beat:

Spirit that Haunts King Dedede in Kirby's Dreamland 2 for GAME BOY.
(U only fight him if you got the rainbow sword) has anyone EVER beaten this guy????? 8O

[MasterSword]

I've been stuck on the final boss of Windows 95 for like two years now..
I've gotten all the secret items in IE, and unlocked all the Registry
features. I even did the side mission where you rename the folders to
get the easter egg, hoping to get an upgrade or something, but
the Kernal keeps kicking my ass. Hell, I can't even get close to it yet.

Does anyone have a save state or like cheat codes or something?
I'd like to finally see the ending after wasting so many hours on it,
because I admit defeat.

Yeah and when he summons "BLUE SCREEN" you're screwed, dogg... 8O

[SnappleMan]

This is the easiest decision ever.

The hardest boss EVER is Iseria Queen in Star Ocean 2. Nobody can debate that. Even with all your characters on level 255, with all the best equipment in the game, it still takes over an hour to beat her, and that's IF you're a pro at the game.

[Xelebes]

Ok...

I played very few games (or got very far into games to play one) to actually beat the boss.

But......

Ripto in Spyro 2: Riptos Rage (After a while... it was really cool flying around forever and not getting hit... but you couldn't hit him.... For the first time in games (that I've played)... they actually have a boss that seems to be there, as if it were an actual story and it was .... really cool... cuz it gave you that climax feel (no I'm not talking about sex! perverts) when you read a story.

Another one was Red Faction... even if the bomb was anti-climatic... but Col. Musake was greatly biased (even if it does seem unrealistic to occur!)
to death rather than victory.

Super Mario Bros. 3...

Okay, that was just fun to do....

[Fuzzypaws]

Yawn, FInal Fantasys Weapons have always been a joke.

FF8 Omega weapon just go at him with level 99 characters use squal riona and selph with auras and well junctioned magic.

FF7 Ruby, go in with 2 people dead at the start, cast phnx and then the usual KOTR 2x mime combo(with magic plus for that extra slap and hp mp absorb paried with wsummon and a second copy of KOTR

Yeah, those bosses are a real joke there! Why, you just have to level up infinitely and have combos of multiple copies of the game's rarest or unique items! W3@k d00d!

The FF7 weapons are hard, but not impossible. Emerald deals damage based on your materia, so just don't have much materia equipped for him. Ruby, go in with two party members down, as noted. But I beat both of them without KotR, many tens of levels below 99. I make a special point of NOT using KotR, as it is the cheapest spell ever created for any game (except maybe Barrier in Secret of Evermore), as it just sucks all the challenge out of the game. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use it!

As for Omega, well, there's two main ways. The first way is technically cheating - force the game to halt on Selphie's limit break (by opening the CD tray/cover as a spell animation starts for another character) and then force her to get "The End" as her limit (only works if she's Aura'd and injured). The second is to have a party of Squall, Zell, and Rinoa, all whacked down to critical injury mode before you engage Omega. Have Rinoa use her limit, and it will almost certainly be Invincible Moon and last longer than you need to finish the battle. Then just do Squall's limit (preferably lionheart) over and over and Zell's ultimate god combo over and over (booya + punch rush, rinse repeat). Again, possible many tens of levels below level 100. (Just don't be a multiple of level 5.)

Ozma, well, Ozma is overrated too. The main key is to have your party include Zidane and Freya who will automatically do 9999 damage no matter what, even if Mini and status-screwed, and you can accomplish this feat many tens of levels below 99. The key is to steal through the whole game with Zidane every chance you get, since Thievery deals non-elemental damage based on your steals; and kill a bunch of dragons, to build up Freya's Dragon's Crest. (As a bonus, the grand dragons on the plateau by Gizamaluke's Grotto out the side exit give tons of XP to build you up while you're doing this, and they can be instantly slain with level 5 death.) Then just have your two white mages in the party to heal constantly.

But anyway, I think the hardest game ever made is probably Out of this World. Do everything exactly right all the way through the game or die, yey! And the ending's not even worth it, although the game itself is pretty cool for all its funkyness and insane difficulty. Every extended fight is like a boss battle, setting up your force shields is very important, etc.

A little more on topic to true bosses... probably the hardest boss fights for me are "mini-game bosses." I'm just not good at some of these minigames which have no relevance to the game in which they reside, so encounters like Topo's Groove Heaven (in Brave Fencer Musashi) or Mz Ruby (in Sly Cooper) really cheese me off. At least with Mz Ruby, you chould "cheap it" by pausing and unpausing a lot. Probably the single hardest freaking minigame boss of all time is that speeder race in the palace in Starfox Adventures... jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! It took me forever to clear that! Definitely the hardest boss battle ever, from my point of view...

[Fygee]

No doubt about it, Yuga from the Samurai Shodown 64 games.

Homing throws, unblockable normal moves that can cover the entire screen, the ability to stop time, a giant fireball.

And that's just his FIRST form! When he becomes a she for his/her second form, it goes beyond anything and everything you've ever experienced in a fighting game. Remember the super fireball laser thingy Ryu has in Marvel vs Capcom? She do can that as normal special move, with barely any lag time at all!

The fact that his/her stage is the coolest boss stage ever, his/her moves look insanely cool, and the music that accompany's it is awesome, makes it her not only the hardest, but the best boss ever. ;)

Gandara before her is a real treat too. Absolutely no-hit stun, takes up almost the entire screen, and has insane defense.

[Xelebes]

Wow... so much information of a game I got bored of... chortle... chortle....

[Ferret]

Did someone say mini-boss?
My all-time hardest minibosses:
Culex and Jinx, SMRPG
Son of Sun and Mother Brain, Chrono Trigger

Those are all I can think of (right now), but I'm sure there are others. Reasons for each on the list (which may or may not grow):
Culex is hard because of all those crystals. Each having a different weakness, and a different element, plus Culex's shadow-type magic--I always think of neutral element magic as shadow type--means you almost NEED Princess Peach in your party just to stay in the fight.
Jinx is on there because of that damn Silver Bullet. How many times I've lost to that I'll never be able to keep track of. I think it's somewhere around 50 times or something...*AHEM*
Son of Sun...This miniboss drives me nuts. Have to find the right spheroid satellite thingy in order to damage it, or you get your ass kicked. Plus it changes the position of the spheres.
Mother Brain. Similar name, different concept. And oh, let's not forget that it can recover 999 HP when the monitor heals it, besides the fact that if you take the monitors out, you get smacked with a powerful beam that wipes out half your HP with one blow (just so you're all aware, I've never had more than 500 HP with any character. High defense power is a must).

Squaresoft's game designers may be losing their touch, but I'm sure there's still a few annoying yet rewarding sidequests left in their system.

[The Coop]

Found me another friend today. I don't even know the damn things name, but it's the final boss in Duke Nukem 3D. And it is, A BITCH!!!

I don't know what it is about giant alien beasts that feel they have to carry enough weaponry to bomb any country back to the stone age, but this guy is not exception. The attack is simple enough, but somehow that simply attack is always a ahalf second ahead of you. Running and strafing at the same time, while it does kinda work, doesn't work as well as it needs to. And stopping and changing the direction your running? I wouldn't advise it, as the steady flow of rockets from him will pound the living shit out of you.

"Me big ugly alien. Me STOMP YOUR ASS!!"

Indeed.

8O The hardest boss fight ever was in Chrono Trigger if you took the Dark Omen ending....You had to fight some queen, then you had to fight the mammoth machine, then you had yo fight the queen in some robot siut that resembles Bongo Bongo, then, if you survived, you fought Lavos. Fist form is all the main bosses you fought in the game (about more than 30 bosses...), second form is some lavos's larva, then you fight lavos himselff, and he has over a million hp. You have to do this all without saving, and you don't get healed betweeen bosses. 8O Somebody please feel my pain! :|

[illumina]

I feel your pain, fighting all those bosses was a bitch, not to mention it took too damn long.

Here's a boss that seemed so simple, yet had a great sense of timing to really piss you off. The guy in wheel chair at the end of Final Fight CD on the Sega CD.

The prick has a crossbow... a single crossbow. That's it. No grenades, no flame throwers... a crossbow. And somehow, whenever you get close to hurting him, he fires it at just the right moment to knock you back, down, or whatever so that you gotta go through the whole process of getting close to him just so you can hit him once... lightly... and do a small touch of damage. I can get through the game and get to him with at least one continue everytime. And I won't mention how many times I've used my remaining guys and continues to try... emphasis on TRY... to beat him. Sure, I've beaten him before, but I'm pretty sure those wins were flukes.

[GameFreak]

I found King Boo in Luigi's Mansion the hardest ever boss! No actually he was the easiest ever...

[dPaladin]

Isn't this dead yet?

[Orange Pylon]

Isn't this dead yet?
In nine days this thread will celebrate it's birthday. That's a frickin' long time to have a thread around.

[dkhighwind]

The most difficult boss ever goes by "The Coop." He has this... this "thread," which does not go away, or die, or whatever! It just KEEPS COMING BACK AT YOU!

Whenever it looks like it's going to go away and you think you've won, The Coop brings it right fucking back!

I haven't found a way to beat it.

[Toasty!]

I make a special point of NOT using KotR, as it is the cheapest spell ever created for any game (except maybe Barrier in Secret of Evermore), as it just sucks all the challenge out of the game. Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use it!
we can't forget the magus sisters from ffx. can you loose once you get that summon?

[FhearTehSp00n]

we can't forget the magus sisters from ffx. can you loose once you get that summon?


You DEFINITELY can still lose. Go fight Nemesis with em in the Monster Arena. Talk about Pwnd.

[Logan X]

now, i didn't go through all 59 pages of this thing....but here's the hardest boss i've ever faced:

Ninja Gaiden 2. Jaquio. he has 3 parts to him. You have one life bar. The entire game is easy until you get to Jaquio. After that forget it. When i was a kid, I beat Jaquio once, threw down my controller and vowed i'd never beat him again. I haven't to this day.

also...turtles for the NES was disgustingly hard. I only got to the level after the airplane level (which i think was the technodrome). hmm..what else...

Mega Man 7 was pretty tough. MM 1-6 i can beat easily. I heard some complaints on MM4's boss...the final wily boss? didn't you have t use the rush jet or something? I dunno. I'll have to replay that one.

[Angel of Eternal Flames]

I'd say the hardest boss to beat and still I can't beat the cheap MoFo is Rugal from King of Fighters 2002. God he is such a pain to beat. I hate him with such passion. UGH I praise ANYONE who can beat him...and if they can, tell me HOW!!!

[Liberi Fatali]

Hmm This Is Tough.... But I'm Gonna have to go with the Earth Devourer from Final Fantasy X. That thing was impossible.... but some would say it's not a REAL boss.... Then I'd go with Omega Weapon from Final Fantasy VIII.

[A10WaveRacer]

I think the hardest boss in recent memory is probably the Fusion Dragon from Golden Sun. I spent more time on that then any other boss i have faced in any game... even Chrono Trigger

[ChickenFavoredCheesewizzy]

Never got to the final boss on Mario 3 the because his world.......

[The Coop]

... now that was a battle.

I finally reached the end of Unreal II. Besides being a rather tough game on "normal" (I'm scard to try "hard" :lol: ), it has a boss that I'm still working on trying to beat. Have been off and on for a week now. You arrive in a big room, will a weird looking pod on the other side. Then, out comes a seemingly harmless flying robot... that shoots one mother a homing barrage. Having a place to hide behind when it fires is a REALLY good idea. After a while of hitting it with various weapons, it splits in two. One half chases you around firing a painfully damaging steady laser once every five seconds or so.... the other half just avoids you like you're a leper. I've shot the piss out of both halves. I've pulled some marathon seasons of dodging, shooting, dosging, etc. I know there's probably a weak point, and hitting it will give me the win. Where it is? Don't have a clue.

Heh... it'll probably be something really simple that'll give me a quick victory like the way to kill the final boss in Quake :lol:


On a side note, happy 1st birthday to this thread :lol:

[Tyndolionel]

I'd say the hardest boss to beat and still I can't beat the cheap MoFo is Rugal from King of Fighters 2002. God he is such a pain to beat. I hate him with such passion. UGH I praise ANYONE who can beat him...and if they can, tell me HOW!!!

Man, he is annoying! Do anything..."GENOCIDE CUTTER!!", repeat until you're dead. The only way that I know is to die, continue with the 1/3 enemy life option, then put K' up first. Rugal seems to have trouble with his
eins trigger->second strike. And his chain drive has a better success rate than most other supers. But it's not like I can consistently beat him or anything. The first time I fought him, I was thinking "Seriously, is this some kind of joke?"

[ChickenFavoredCheesewizzy]

DAMN! Do u realize how long ago I posted that? How did this thread survive with that few posts?

[progressive]

There is one word that strikes terror into the hearts of E.V.O. players everywhere...

That word...

is BOLBOX!!!

http://www.rpgclassics.com/shrines/snes/evo/pics/bosses/Image28.jpg

Fear him!!!

And for those who didn't ever play E.V.O.... Fear him!!!

If for some reason you'd like to relive the horrible music of death that accompanied Bolbox, right-click here (http://www.rpgclassics.com/shrines/snes/evo/downloads/evoboss2528.mid).



--->progressive19

Thanks to RPGC Shrines (http://www.rpgclassics.com/index.shtml)for the music and picture of the terrible BOLBOX!!! Oooooh! ...don't blame me, I didn't revive this topic. Blame it on......BOLBOX!!!

[strfiter]

the great and mighty poo off conkers bad fur day......right......

[omegaslade]

My God this thing is still going lol. any how nomination. Omega Pirate on hard mode ridly on hard mode adn yes metriod prime on hard mode all from well metriod prime lol...... Fear these people for they are the end of your world lol.

[Ferret]

Oh, yes, I agree, especially seeing as how every time I face that damned omega pirate I GET THE SNOT BEAT OUT OF ME!!!

[The Coop]

How many ever played a game called Shadow of the Beast II? It's been on the old Amiga computers, the Genesis and the Japan only FMTowns Marty (a Sega CD port of that version did come to The States... I got it :D).

So, at the end of this game, there's a boss. I wish to God I could remember his name, but I can't. He has no real animation, he just shoots a rather good sized fireball as he rises and lowers in the air... following you. He also hurts you by coing into contact. God help you if he does that latter, cuz you health bar zooms down like Ted Kennedy on a Twinkey. It ain't a good thing. There is only one thing that can harm this twit, and the whole game is based on a VERY specific pattern to take. You go through the game in any other pattern, you're fucked, as something will no longer be in your possession that must be. It ain't fair, but neither is the boss. Even if you have the ring to use against him, you still get hit... almost in a manditory fashion. If he gets close, you have to run THROUGH him to get to the other side so you can try and get off a few more shots... this action of course is yet more manditory damage. Basically, if you wanna beat him, you have to play a perfect game and have several health vials to heal yourself with... and even then it's not a given that you'll win.

Manditory hits... a Psygnosis staple...

[Jogilius]

Um, anyone remember the final boss in Shadow Warrior? Wasn't that a total bitch?

[Goldforce]

Final Piastol from Skies of Arcadia
Kill's Aika so i can't use Delta Shield then ETERNUM TEMPEST DANCE ETERNUM TEMPEST DANCE over and over again AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
:banghead:

[Omnitrix]

I think the hardest boss in recent memory is probably the Fusion Dragon from Golden Sun. I spent more time on that then any other boss i have faced in any game... even Chrono Trigger
Dead beard is way stronger. For time the last boss of breath of fire 4 takes forever, more tedious then hard. Omega weapon is the hardest boss ever in a video game acrording to alot of people, I didn't use one hero drink or holly war trial, and I had no time taking him down.
But compaired to all the other bosses, he was the most antimidating.

I blaim poor physics and controll, on all those nintendo bosses, one time my game glitched out on NARC, and my friend and I spent over an hour fighting him, before we realized he was invincable.

[Super-Duper Sombrero]

hmm...let me think about this question for awhile...hm- THE DAMNED SPIDER SCIENTIST ON LEVEL 53 ON ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBORS!!!!
OMG does anyone actually have and play that game anymore? that boss was horrible...i mean hed be nice Mr. Scientist one second, then he pulls out a potion like hes gonna give it to you for an upcoming battle, so you wwalk up to him to get it, the he drinks it and suddenly turns into a gigantic spider that i shot the crap out of with my bazooka and refused to die. holy crap i hate that suka so much.

[Shadowe]

hmmmmmm.....

nihilanth. that fucker teleports you into pain mazes, he shoots energy balls at you, and he is fucking INVINCIBLE until you kill these 3 crystals in his...tomb thingy.

[edit]

on a sidenote, whats the biggest monster youv ever seen in a game (pc only, i mean like in those mmorpg's)

[ResidentPS2]

I remember one of the Seymour boss battles in FFX being pretty hard. I believe it's the one on Kimahri's Mountain.

[Meiguoren]

All you have to do is dive into him with the weed whacker. That also kills the spores that grow into the ground. Cakewalk.

[HorrorgasM]

oh yeah...that mountain seymour was a bastard

[Meiguoren]

Unless you used the FFX general strategy. Fill up all your meters then go crazy with summons and special attacks in the first round. Everything dies, you win and you get to see the next segment of overdone story that is undeserving of the title "Final Fantasy" let alone the title "video game".

[Fallen Angel]

Yeah, the 3rd Seymour kept me from playing the game for a long time. I just couldn't stand that mountain period. I could do fine but right before I reach the damn save point before Seymour I would get into a battle where they ambush me, THEN THEY WOULDN'T STOP ATTACKING ME!! They got like 3 attacks in row each and there would be 3 or 4 of them. Then I would have to do the whole damn mountain again, plus the fact that I knew there was a chest with level 4 spheres in it and I just had to get it so I could unlock Ultima later on. Then after I finally reached the save point I go to fight Seymour and BLAM, I'm dead again. It pissed me off so I stopped playing for a long time. I still haven't beaten that game but I got past that. I'm up to when you shoot down Sin. I plan on going back too all the temples first so I can get Anima, then the Magus Sisters. Screw Yojimbo he sucks lol.

It doesn't matter what you call it, it will still make money just based on the name. It doesn't even matter if you call it "Final Fantasy: Slap Happy Summer Beach Ball Starring Squall & Co!", the game will still sell millions based just upon a name. Tis sad that Square has come to this though.

[Goldforce]

The only hard thing about Seymour is that he turns you into a zombie so you have to waste a characters turn changeing him/her back to normal before he cast's full-life, but in saying that he wastes a turn casting Full-life as well (If you cured the character that is) apart from that and his special attack (Forgot what it's called) he's easy...ish
Anyway what about that Bitch of a Final Boss in that Gameboy Zelda

[Shadowe]

(nice avatar, its zanoske)

surprised nobody has mentioned the final boss in sonic adventure one, that robotnik snake machine thing was a BITCH.

[Wang]

mmm glad to see this thread back up

seymour didnt give me any trouble...mostly becuz i waz alwayz expecting a hardass battle so all my aeons were in overdrive :roll:

im playin through kingdom hearts on expert and rikku/ansem at hallow bastion is still giving me trouble :x

[Goldforce]

(nice avatar, its zanoske)

I grew up playing sonic games so i didn't find him too hard

[Omnitrix]

What is this talk of Seymour, Final Fantasy X was the worst for hard bosses. There was none . In fact it was disapointingly easy. Omega weapon was the saddest for me. They took the legend from 8 and made him a sissy. Final Fantasy 12 better be hard. I also want my world map back. It's no fun flying when all you do is stare at a map.
The hardest boss of all time is Xero from Quake 3 on nightmare. I beat him but Him and his rail gun gave me great pain when first played it.

[Goldforce]

[Blake]

Try beating metroid prime in Metroid Prime without getting half of all the stuff. Gah...it's pretty hard to do.

[triplekamehameha]

Dead beard is way stronger.

Heh, have either of you two played GS: The Lost Age? The boss of that game is far harder then either of the two you mentioned. It took me about 15 times to beat that boss, and that was after leveling up each time. This is also considering that I had all 72 Djinn and at least the three strongest summons.

[Graham (Redux)]

yah that's what i did, I also used conserved my monster potions and pandora's boxes, that took him out easily. The rest of the levels are just plain evil........

[dPaladin]

Hm. How about the first Mega Man? The bosses are easy, but the levels are so difficult that you're crippled by the time you reach the bosses.

[Sherv]

DUDE!! Shadow of the Beast!! WHAT A _)%*()*_#%ING HARD SERIES! Argh, I was so bad at that game, and the interminable loading times were dreadful!! Beautiful graphics, never could get into the game though...grrr

[-RK-]

Now this boss was probably covered,(I didnt bother to read 62 pages) But Omega Weapon from Final Fantasy 8 wiped me out 6 times before I finally beat him.

[Talcmaster]

The bosses on EDF (which I doubt most of you have played) were all easy until the last stage, where they would fling so much crap at you there would be no chance of surviving if it weren't for the fact the SNES would start to slow down from all of it. Unfortunately, on the emulator it doesn't slow down....

[Silverhunt]

Sigma's final form(s) on Mega Man X 4. One of my friends beat him once. he says on X5 he's worse....hence why I don't have X5.

[Wang]

o yes i forgot about Omega weapon. perhaps becuz i killed him with no problem at all. it took me a while to realize that he was dead becuz it waz so easily done. i agree that none of the bosses provided a challenge. i killed jecht with one hit from tidus :roll:

[RamRod]

Giygas from Earthbound, just because of the seizure that you get when you play and beat him.

[Sir_Garland]

Oh. My. God. I don't know if this counts as a boss, exactly, but the last battle (after "The Final Battle" mission) against Eagle in Advance Wars' hard Campaign was brutal, and I'm sure almost every mission in AW2's hard campaign will be. I mean, the TRAINING level gets hard enough that you actually have to think about it.

[dPaladin]

Maybe its because I suck at that game, but I am still on The Final Battle (3 armies Vs Sturm) in Advance Wars. I didn't even know there was a fight after it.

[EliteOmega]

Seven Force, From Gunstar Heroes! Fighting all 7 forms and beating him is definitely something hard to do.

[DarknessTear]

Uhh KH Sephiroth was hard.. o_O

Let's seeeee.. I found the weapons in FF7 to be challenging.. some SaGa Frontier 1 bosses were rediculously hard so.. yeah.

[StriderYoko]

Seven Force, From Gunstar Heroes! Fighting all 7 forms and beating him is definitely something hard to do.

if you thought 7 force from gunstar hero's was hard, try 7 force from alien soldier, you will go insane. Alien soldier is made by Treasure, to bad they didnt release it in the states, if you are a fan of Gunstar Heros, Alien Soldier is a MUST PLAY, I suggest you look around for it.

[EliteOmega]

Oh yeah,youre right. I tried Alien Soldier once, couldnt even get past the first boss! My brother on the other hand, got to this guy who transformed into a huge dragon thing, and never got past him.

[StriderYoko]

Oh yeah,youre right. I tried Alien Soldier once, couldnt even get past the first boss! My brother on the other hand, got to this guy who transformed into a huge dragon thing, and never got past him.

the final boss is even worse because the only weapon that works on him is the little thing you use to turn projectiles into energy. the bosses get exponentially harder, and there are 26 damn bosses

[qwertyuiop]

I would say that the hardest boss in all the videogames that I played would be the snake demon thing on the second level of Shien's Revenge for snes. :evil:

[Max_Coyote]

Maybe it has been covered too (I don't have time to read 62 pages, neither) but Shinryu from FFV kicked my arse lots of times before I could get around to kill him.

Never open mystery chests. :)

[Lord.Roderick.i]

For me the Hardest Enemy is and evey will be
Willy from MegaMan Series

And momentaniously I don't remember anyone else, but surely the Final Fantasy Final Enemys are very hard, most of times.

[Ybrik Metaknight]

This thread still lives? Well I'll be goddamned...

OK, Ruby Weapon. Hardest. Boss. Ever. (Except for possibly Ozma from FFIX.)

[Lord.Roderick.i]

The Final Boss of Doom2 in NightMare Mode

That is a hard thing

[Max_Coyote]

I had a harder time beating Emerald than Ruby... but Omega Weapon of FFVIII requires an special mention.

I can't remember how many times Zell had to dance on its face with his fists to prevent the bastard from pullin' off the Meggido's Flame.

Unlike the SNES versions, the Banpresto arcade Sailor Moon game makes Queen Beril (Beryl?) one tough bitch!

[The Coop]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there's a Soldier of Fortune III, I'm not buying it :lol:

I finally... let me say that again... FINALLY... beat the boss for Soldier of Fortune II. I know the final boss in the first one was a pain (I mentioned him here before), but the final boss for SoF II? Let's put it this way... I bought the game last year, got stuck for a while trying to rescue that one scientist, then got stuck again... still last year... on the finall boss.

A plane with wings that tilt up and allow it to hover like a helicopter (just like the one in real life whos name I can't think of at the moment). I won't say where you have to be hitting the plane... don't wanna ruin it. But after you've damaged it enough (which is tough since it's repeatedly gunning at you with a kind of chain gun... and flying quickly overhead... and going behind structure you're on...), it starts new tactics added in with the old ones. Still using the gun and maneuvers, it pauses at one point to fire several fast missiles at where you are. These missiles explode and hurt you with splash damage should you manage to get far enough away to not be splattered outright. The only time you can really hit the weak spot, is when it's facing you about to fire those missiles... which is about a two second interval between facing you and firing. I won't EVEN say just how many times I was blown off the roof top, blown apart and gunned down.

Oh yeah. Important safety tip... watch where you run. You're on a roof top and jumping around is neccessary.

THAT... was a hard boss. Good luck to anyone else who faces it.

[arrlaari]

Diablo, from Diablo II. I hate that goddamned lightning hose!! God DAMNED I say!

Also, any MSLE unique you ever see. If you are hit by one of the charged bolt clusters, you DIE. Max lit resist will not save you! What, you ask, triggers these charged bolt clusters? EVERY TIME YOU HIT THE DAMN THING! ARGARGARGARGAERAIEIOEAIOIUOUOIUAA!

The enemies in that game are sooo biased towards lit damage, it's not even funny. That may change in 1.10, though.

Surprised everyone's focusing on console games. PCs have games too!

I'm glad someone mentioned those guys. Its even worse if its MSLE and its a counsel member because they just heal themselves back to max hp with one spell. ARGH. My pally can take two of those huge bolts even on hell mode without dying :D. My vote although would have to go to The 3 Ancients yoou have to fight on hell mode. I died SO MANY TIMES it wasn't even funny. I had to use freaking the Scalper throwing axes to deafeat the last one. But on the plus side they give you 3 level ups. :)

[Elazual]

Hardest boss ... I'll go with ... huh ... Nereid from Tales of Destiny II.

... they should have made it easier for you to pull off that divine thingy ... I had to kill her six times before I actually protected myself from that auto-kill-end-life thing.

:(
EIGHT Times did I kill her! SIX MONTHS did I own the game! I finally sold it out of desperation...

[Elazual]

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 don't know if someones said this already but what about the .hack games? you can only level up to a certain point and then there just aren't any harder monsters. thats why Magus was so frickin tough. I mean come on! He could wipe out EVERY person in your party with one attack even if they were at full health. And since ( as far as I could tell) the amount of damage the attack did was totally random, you had to fight him again and again until he didn't wipe out your party immediatly

[vega12]

I think that this Monster has been mentioned before but is the hardest one:

:twisted: Ultima Weapon from Final Fantasy 8

It's Impossible.

:twisted:

Um you must mean Omega weapon, and I walked over it withought using any holly war trials or any invicable item. Its all in the limit breaks.

Once you know how to master the game, it becomes rediculusly easy. My party consists of Squall, Zell, and Rinoa. I start off casting Aura on everybody. Then I get Rinoa to limit break until I get Invincible Moon. Now that I'm invincible, I go crazy with Squall's and Zell's limit breaks. If done properly, you can beat him w/o taking a single damage point.

EDIT: Oh ya, the topic :). The hardest boss I've encountered is probably Meta Ridley form Metroid Prime on hard! He is definately one tough enemy. I see a lot of people complaining about the difficulty of the secret bosses from FF; they aren't that difficult if you just level up some more. Seriously though, there's a method to beating all of them. Besides, if all else fails, just go gain some more levels.

Great minds think alike 8). But seriously, if you also have it so that Recover, Revive, and Treatment are distributed on all three characters, it is even easier. The only problem w/ Ultimecia is that even once you deplete her last form's life, she stays alive until she's done her speech. I just sit there and keep on pounding on her. By the time she's done, she's at about -400,000 HP :).

i dunno
if anyones said this
(i dont have time to actulaly go read thru all 64 pages -_-

that would take too long
(almost as long as it took me to beat up that Sigma from Megaman X!!)

after almost 1 month of dedicated time playing it
i beat him after hmmmmmm over 150 tries?

sure
the dogs a cinch
so is the "Luke I'm your father" lightsaber mode
but i mean after Sigmas head is wrapped into that war machine
thats where i die at
i mean
even when im maxed out on upgrades
and with all 4 full sub tanks
i could barely take him down to 1 half of his hp
the main thing
is that the music kinda jinxes you for a second
i mean
first its all calm
then it gets hypped up a little when your fighting the dog and a bit more when your fighting Sigma with a lightsaber
but then once the war machine
BOOM
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
lol
has anyone actually developped a good strategy against him?
if you have please tell :lol:

[Arc]

has anyone actually developped a good strategy against him?

Armored Armadillo's Rolling shield, at his face. Don't bother charging it up, just fire away.

[Darkmoogle]

Ooo ooo ooo, hardest boss of all time? I got this one covered: FINAL FANTASY X!!!!!! I mean, christ, IT WON'T DIE! I've never SEEN something with so many hit points. I trounced the Omega Weapon in FFVIII, tore FFIX's Ozma to pieces, and the first time I beat the two weapons in VII, I didn't even save in between. (Of course, that was an accident. I was flying around giddily because I killed Emerald Weapon and accidentally hit Ruby. But then he died too. No joke.) But, jesus christ. Yu Yevon has got to be the single most insanely difficult boss in any game ever. I bet the guys at Square all got reaaaally high, said 'Let's make a boss with infinite HP who busts out two moves for each of the player's one! And let's make all these moves so powerful that they could kill Jesus in a single blow!' And that's the story of how Yu Yevon was made.

...Okay, sarcasm over. Seriously. 60,000 HP, and when I beat him, I don't think he'd done one single fucking thing the entire time. Let down of the century? No doubt.

[vega12]

...Okay, sarcasm over. Seriously. 60,000 HP, and when I beat him, I don't think he'd done one single fucking thing the entire time. Let down of the century? No doubt.

***SPOILERS***

The worst part was that it is literally impossible to die against him! No joke. You automatically have auto-life on and it regenerates if you die. Braska is the "actual" final boss in the sense that he is the last sort of difficult battle in the game. The entire last battle on that big thing is just a joke.

[Lite Foot Fox]

One word my friends Mizar (Jet force)
Oh I hate that nightmareish creation, spawned from the pits of Hades.

You attack, he attacks, one difference your attacks do nothing and his take life bars like a kid in a candy shop!


I was only able to topple the beast once,
and thats all have to say about that.

[Highlander]

I would say that the hardest boss is that last boss level in the first act raiser game, especially if you relied on your spells to beat the bosses throughout the entire game, cuz you don't get to use them again after you kill each boss

[Global-Trance]

Sigma's final form(s) on Mega Man X 4. One of my friends beat him once. he says on X5 he's worse....hence why I don't have X5.

Naw. Sigma was probably the most difficult of the PSX Mega Man X games mentioned in MMX4... from that point, Sigma just got easier. At this rate, they might as well take out Sigma all together... he's just getting too easy.

[Omnitrix]

i dunno
if anyones said this
(i dont have time to actulaly go read thru all 64 pages -_-
What do you mean. Its only been over a year in the making of this monster thread.
What about the ghosts of pacman, in the later levels they get pretty hardcore.

[SoUnDoLe]

I found it odd that M.Bison in streetfighter was hardly as hard as blanka on 8 stars. I mean blank could could move anyway practically invincibly whenever he wants, so whenever you tried to do anything the game would just say 'Nah, I don't think so" and he'd slog you in the head. Bitch.

[Zrexe]

anyone here played wild arms 3??? the boss from that dungeon is truly GAY!!! im tokking about the abyss. the damn dungeon took me 4 hr of non stop playing to reach the boss after which i took 1 full hr to kill him. to top it off he attacks u again with twice the hp when u try to leave the dungeon. oh yah did i mentionn that u cannot save throughout the entire process??? hehe it was a mind numbing but rewarding 7 straight hrs.

[Snyderman]

I know this is kind of cheating, but I found Starship Hector for the NES to be incredibly hard EXCEPT for the bosses, which were almost pitifully easy.

Hardest RPG battle, I'd say goes to Vendetta + Snake woman in Xenogears. The one on Disk 2 after the 2nd or 3rd Anima dungeon. Even harder than Deus, I think.

Wait, I take it back. For an RPG, I'd say Egg Dragon in Lufia II, MAN that guy was a bitch. And he was an OPTIONAL boss. Harder than even the last boss.

Now that I think about it, that guy in FFIX that was a giant globe was pretty damn tough. Optional boss again... I'm seeing a trend here...

Hmm... Seiken Densetsu 3's OPTIONAL BOSS OF THE BLACK RABITE WAS FUCKING TOUGH. What is it with optional bosses in RPGs?

Culex in Super Mario RPG... dare I say it? The optional boss.

Mizar in Jet Force Gemini was really tough until I learned to dodge his lightning, but I must say, for today's games, he's quite the formiddable foe. Oh, and having 90 rockets helped avoid a shortage(45 Tri rocket/45 Homing missiles). Unfortunately, this guy was not optional.

[artificialist]

True, sad but true.

[Hornpipe2]

Bump. This thread is one of two still containing RuneLancer's posts.

[Drakonis GTR]

Hey, as i had mentioned in another thread, if you want an impossible boss, the last boss in the cabinet (arcade style) game terminator 2. Ive watched people waste tens of dollars attacking him, only to find that the creators had made the boss invincible so as to suck your quarters dry. But that is also a cheap arcade game.

As for most difficult boss, try the final boss from Shinobi from ps2. To quote from a faq i found for the game, this boss can be best described as the "The video game embodiment of Murphy's Law: What can go wrong, will, at the worst possible time. And then he'll laugh and do it again. To beat him, you had to change your stretegy totally, and spend every waking moment just trying to stay alive for the minute chance of actually hitting him.

By the way Zrexe, are you talking about Ragu O' Ragla? Yeah, hes a cock sucker alright, but he is in every Wild Arms game. He's like Ruby Weapon in FF7, Omega Weapon in FF8, or Indalecio Celesta in Star Ocean 2; the final kick in the ass for those of us who must beat the game completely.

[The_overactive_mind]

Has anybody here gotten the best ending in Chrono Trigger, you know the one where you have to beat Lavos by yourself, that was hard. And by yourself i mean with only Chrono.

[Visibore]

Everyone here keeps talking about hard RPG bosses?
What's up with that?

For some really hard bosses play any of the last three bosses in
Ikaruga on hard. Now that's a challenge.

[The Coop]

Okay. This boss is a bit... odd.

I've been playing Mortal Kombat II for a while... quite a few years actually. I own quite a few versions of the game. The Genesis version, the Saturn version (shame about the voice samples, considering the graphics ARE the arcade version and the music is damn nice), the 32X version... and the version in question, the SNES version.

See, Shoa Kahn is a push over in every Sega version. A simple jump over him, and kick him in the back again and again and he goes down. Simple. But the SNES version of Shoa Kahn? Uuuuuuuhhhhhhhh... no.

I've tried the pattern of old on the Sega systems, but it's doesn't work... at all. I tried the old foot sweep trick, and that doesn't work. We all know his attacks'll kill your ass in three, maybe four attacks. So, you can't screw up too many times. Even blocking is a pointless venture as he atacks again before you're even done recovering from blocking the previous hit. Scorpions spear works from time to time, but after one, maybe two hits, Kahn blocks it constantly. I've had my ass handed to me so many times by the SNES version of Shoa Kahn, it's sad. Kintaro is a complete puss compared to Kahn.

I've beaten the game, but in truth, I've yet to find a reliable way to consistantly beat Shoa Kahn in the SNES version. Not a fair fight... at all.

[NightWish]

Kintaro? 8O I personally thought Kintaro was the toughest mutha I've ever fought in an SNES fighting game..

There's a sorta-reliable trick to defeating Shao Kahn in MK2.

What you do is..

-In the beginning of the fight, backflip to the far left corner (or far right if you are using the 2nd player controls).

-Once you're in the corner, immediately crouch-block.

-Let Shao Kahn shoulder-charge you

-Uppercut him as fast as you can.

If for any reason you get pulled out of the corner, you simply need to go there again then uppercut Shao Kahn until he's finished. Just remember the crouch-block though. That's imperative.

Unless of course, Shao does one of his kick/punch combos on you.. then you're screwed. No matter what you do :?

[Meiguoren]

I don't know if this counts, but the last level in Advance Wars is ruining me. Of course it doesn't help that I'm no good at this kind of game anyway...

The previous battle took me 72 days before I reigned victorious. And this one... damn. I'm looking up some strategies, but they're not making any sense to me at all. And this guy keeps swooping in and making all my little things blow up. I hate him. And yet, I cannot stop playing.

There is such sorrow in this world.

[MrE]

i had mortal kombat 2 for snes when i was younger, and id get my ass whooped on normal difficulty, id be slaughtered on hard. of course recently ive seen people talking about how to go through this game, always talking about tactics like "just crouch against such and such and punch, they walk right into it, then with such and such, jump over them and sweep through the whole match". i dont think a fighting game should require you to use such cheap crap to win, it should be a FIGHT. either way, to this day i cant even get past like, the first two guys on hard setting in mk2. i think of myself as a decent player of games, and so its always baffled me how anyone could possibly beat that.

recently ive been able to go through street fighter 2 (snes, and not super or turbo) on the hardest setting without getting beaten once, not even just a battle, up to bison. then he might beat me once or twice, but id win eventually. so what kind of maniac do i have to be to get through one of those old mk games?

That's not that bad.. I'm pretty good at strategy games but it took me about 60 days to beat that one.. I just forsook strategy and let Sami (if you have Sami in the battle. probably did), send as many infantry up wards so they distracted the bombers and heavy tanks. You need to do a lot of baiting and not actual fighting.. of course, you need to fight when it comes down to it..

[HamsterCorp]

I used an attrition strategy for that level. Just kept pumping out something each turn until I had enough cities to get either a medium tank or anti-air each turn and pressed foward. Something useful to remember is that the opponent can't build something from a factory or whatever if you plop a unit on it, much easier to hold something with a medium tank instead of trying to capture it with infantry.

[elman]

Hardest boss eh? Well I could be a n00b and say Mundus on DMD or Ruby Weapon, but then there was Dr. Wily in Megaman 7. Considering Megaman had the mobility of a turtle when compared to X, this was damn near impossible.

[Master X]

Mr Dream from punch-out. He's nuts. :sleepdepriv:
And Slash Man of Mega Man 7 is a controller thrower for me.

[Flying Omelette]

I really don't know what the hardest boss I've ever beaten was, but some that come to mind:

Sonia - the final boss of Equinox
The Great Commander's second form on Venom - Third Path of Star Fox
Mephisto - the final boss of Alundra 2
The Reptilicus Maximus boss of Alundra
Saradiart - Final boss of Toxa's quest in Kartia
Giant Exodus Spaceship in Journey to Silius
Jaquio in Ninja Gaiden (if you don't use a special weapon)
Dracula - final boss of Castlevania 3
The crab in Blaster Master (if your gun is not powered-up)
Gruntilda - Final boss of Banjo-Kazooie

[DruManIaC_714]

hmmmm hardest boss eh? i could say the last wily form in rockman and forte (Mega man 9) while being mega man is completely impossible. bass has a double jump which u can reach him whilehes at the top of the screen but megaman cant.....god i almost broke my computer from the frustration that that rom caused me!!!

another worthy candidate is ultimate rugal in Capcom Vs. SNK2 on maximum diffulculty!! the guy was hard even on the lowest difficulty but on the highest i deem it downright impossible!!!!

[Lonely Warrior]

Lavos, from Chrono Trigger... Never could beat him... I leveled my characters up for a day or two and gave up... Am I just missing something? Wait, don't answer that, I'll start a new thread on that one. 66 pages and still on track, no reason for me to derail it...

[KeeperS]

This one's easy. Has anyone here played Saga Frontier 2? Okay. Has anyone here actually beat Saga Frontier 2? The last boss is friggin impossible...

[Lonely Warrior]

This one's easy. Has anyone here played Saga Frontier 2? Okay. Has anyone here actually beat Saga Frontier 2? The last boss is friggin impossible...

You have a valid point... My neigbor cheated and still couldn't beat it... Highest stats allowed in every category on every character, every magic spell, and infinite itmes... Lost. 3 times.

[Rucianu]

Hm. ZOE II, when you're fighting Anubis and flying to the moon in Damaged Jehuty, took me about 5 tries.

btw....Zero Shifting rocks. :D

[Pogo]

my vote still goes to Omega from FF5... but i haven't played many rpg outside FF...

[squall180]

The hardest boss ever has to be either the giant robot at the end of Mystical Ninja Goeman for the N64 or bowser in Luigi's Mansion.


...oh ya to all the pushovers who can't beat the Atma weapon casting vanish on him followed by doom usually will kill him. I said usually not always.

[whiteknight]

luigis mansion? the hardest part of that game was coming to terms with the fact that you waisted 50 friggen dollars on it. compared to that life-altering realization, bowser was a fruitcake. i think i posted in here earlier, but whatever i said was wrong. the hardest boss was from a lousy game called xardion. i dont remember which one, but i remember almost being in tears over it. actually, that whole game blows. urg, i am angry today....

[The Coop]

THis was rather... unexpected the other day. I got an E-mail from someone, who's name I won't fully post as I'm not sure they'd want it put out there, about this thread. It was kinda odd, but kinda cool at the same time. Here it is...

Sorry, my computer isn't working properly, so instead of getting the member thing going, I am just e-mailing my response to you. I have never posted anything on Overclocked, but I was just checking out the boards and I saw this hardest boss thing. I read through a good deal of them, and most of the bosses can be defeated with the right amount of patience and skill if you ask me.
If ever there were a boss that was really really hard to beat it would be M. Bison in Street Fighter 2 or Street Fighter 2 Turbo on the highest difficulty level, 8 stars. I know there are people out there who can do it in one try and stuuf, but ti is not easy. I believe there is not a single boss battle in videogame history that cannot be completed, but M. Bison is a jerk. I play so much Street Fighter that most of my friends think I'm crazy. I own 10 street fighter games, which is nothing compared to the total amount of them, but it is a good collection. Of those 10, 4 are all of the SF2 games, not including the Champion Editions. I consider myself a very very good SF player, and there are very few people I have played that can defeat me, so when I say Bison is tough, I think I am right. Note that as some characters it is much easier, such as: Guile, Ryu, Ken. Some characters just have the moves, but when I mean he is hard, I mean to play the game as all characters. If there is anyone who can get through the game as Dhalsim and not use a continue on 8 star difficulty, I would bow to them. I have beaten the game without continues as everyone but Zangief and Dhalsim. It is not easy. Yeah. Bison is the toughest in my opinion.

Guess he wanted his thoughts heard :lol:

[Fletch]

The hardest boss ever has to be either the giant robot at the end of Mystical Ninja Goemon for the N64...

Only if you don't cheat.

My method? Chain pipe, pull 'im in, kick. Dodge a wave of projectiles, repeat. Does about 120(?, can't remember exactly, know it was 100+) damage per try.

[Rodin]

I've been stuck on the final boss of Windows 95 for like two years now..
I've gotten all the secret items in IE, and unlocked all the Registry
features. I even did the side mission where you rename the folders to
get the easter egg, hoping to get an upgrade or something, but
the Kernal keeps kicking my ass. Hell, I can't even get close to it yet.

Does anyone have a save state or like cheat codes or something?
I'd like to finally see the ending after wasting so many hours on it,
because I admit defeat.

I've never played it, but I'm working on Windows 98 right now. I'm only a level 6 MSPaint newb, and I don't have enough motivation points to update my Norton BFAV-6789 Virus Killer, which I need if I ever want to clear the KaZaA Fortress.

I managed to kill Windows 98 by getting no less than 1800 infected files. By that time, the code for Windows has been pretty much rewritten :) Unfortunately, when I did so, it morphed into Windows XP, and is busy burning itself into my motherboard. And to that I have no reply...

[damathacus]

has anyone actually developped a good strategy against him?
if you have please tell :lol:
I didn't know about that shield attack thing. I thought only the regular charged maxed out could hurt him. In any case, what I did was charge up fully in preparation to blast him, if he did that death from above attack across the screen that's really hard to avoid, I maintained my charged state, switched to that chameleon gun, or whatever it was that made you invincible, and then used that to get through the attack, then quickly switched back to the regular blaster before the attack was finished and started charging up again. I used up extra energy tanks and weapons tanks and I barely managed to get through that fight. Very tough.

Other tough fights. The hard version of Andross from Star Fox 64, when he's a big brain. Vamp on extreme mode from MGS2. European extreme? I think not. He's tougher than the metal gears, even if you're fighting 20 of them, because once you get the pattern down, they're not too tough and you it goes quickly. But Vamp...too much.[/quote]

[DL-Oddeye]

Ultima weapon was easy in FF8

simple fact... Lion heart .... done

Omega weaponw as hell hard... since I was level 100 when I got there.. it wasn't easy


DarkAngel from star ocean the second story

even at level 255 it was a good 40 min fight to kill it.. if ya managed..

tho my blood armor trick usualy worked well


Then there is Lapis from Legend of Legiah
no MP.. makes for a hard fight
or Koru from the same game.. 5 battle rounds to rip off alot of HP.. and I dont gotta tell you how hard it was to level in that game..
tho.. if it wasn't for the music.. the boss fights got menotinus
"Attack, Spirit, Heal, Attack Spirit Heal

oi

[Zrexe]

anyone heard of super street fighter 2 collection?? its basically a special edition containing super street fighter 2 alpha and super street fighter 2 turbo. anyway, in alpha2, there is a new mode known as the akuma mode. OMG the akuma is freaking impossible!!! he is the ultimate akuma. you cant throw him coz he always tech hits. he counters your every move with an alpha counter, and he teleports behind your fireball. ARGH the last time i played him i could barely take off a tenth of his health... and thats coz of blk dmg.

[ElZog]

That last spaceship in Space Invaders (the really fast moving one) was a hard end of level boss (i guess you could call it that). Also, Master Hand on SSB on maximum difficulty was a challenge.

Trying to destroy the Lucifer in the subspace tunnel with no shields and swarms of enemies in a slow bomber, against the clock on Insane mode in Freespace 1 was also difficult.

[Dr_Fruitcake]

Believe it or not, the Hag 1 in Banjo-Tooie was pretty tough. :P I definitely gotta hand it to Rare for their creativity -- a bear and a bird, facing off against a giant, mobile drilling machine with several built-in laser cannons and two missile launchers, and two monsters in the trunk guarding the main battery. Oh, and a crazed witch driving the thing, who would every once in a while pop open the door, stick her head out, and either fire deadly magic spells at you or ask you random trivia questions about the game. Nice. :P

It was an extremely tough battle, as least for me, seeing as how the vast majority of it plays out in first-person-shooter view (Banjo using Kazooie as an egg launcher), whereas most of Banjo-Tooie is in 3rd-person (other than the final battle, the 1st-person is only used for a couple of minigames). And since I was never a big FPS fan in the first place, it took a lot of getting used to.

[The Coop]

I was perusing the local EB Games a few days ago. They have a good sized used PC section (that's where I found Drakan: Order of the Flame still with the box, instructions and everything), and as I scanned through it, I found a title I remember buying on the Dreamcast.

Bang! Gunship Elite

For those that don't know it, it's a stright forward "hop in your space shit and shoot anything that moves" shooter. Graphically, it still holds up rather well and looks nicer than the DC version (which looked pretty good back then). Well, I was playing through it and I got the the final level.

Can you sense what's coming?

I swear... I have no clue what the hell I;m supposed to do against the final boss here. It's a massive ship that has orbiting satellites that fire at you. It shoots HUGE fast moving missiles that, if they hit or even explode near you, you are vaporware. I've pounded the blue hell out of the orbiting guns, but they just seem to get replaced. I've shot missiles and picked up ammo for your most powerful weapon (the Plasma Cannon) and I've unloaded every shot those ammo pick ups would give me... but I've yet to watch that damn thing explode. I'm wondering if there's a weak point that I'm supposed to hit, but if there is, there's not even a hint as to where it is.

I've pounded this damn thing, and now I have to wonder... DOES IT EVER DIE?!

Damn... talk about nasty final encounter...

[z38stinger]

....i wouldnt get pissed. I would just get cheats. lol, that or gamefaqs :D

btw: not really a pain in the ass boss, but fun to do for bragging rights was to kill Fortinbras from Onimusha(Genma, xbox version here) with the plain old katana.

[Distriv]

The hardest boss I've fought is either 'Id' from Xenogears (when you fight him on the bridge) or 'Doom Door' from FF7 (I was at seriously low level for that one).

[Ser371]

I havent heard much of Chrono Cross here...I say that was one HARD RPG because how strong you were esd how strong you were. You can only level up after a boss. I was actually stuck on the first Lynx for a while...but after a while he became fun to mess around with. OH! and the final boss in Sonic 2. I HATED HIM FOR SO LONG! im hearing Myzar alot.........i never saw him.......

[84]

The Boss of Guantlet for NES was hard.... hardest boss I ever had to fight.

[GroundTrooper1130]

Wells let's go on from there:

Hardest boss for me to beat on the computer and still remains to be the hardest boss I've ever fought on an RPG Level Is off of Baldurs Gate 1 The end fight with Saravok, He nailed me time after time, after time, till I had to put it down and play something else cause he could always hit me, and slaughter the rest of my party.

For the SNES Well hell that goes to erg, um hmm...I'd say..frm Secert of Mana 2 the Dark Knight in the Glass desert that guy chews you up at high levels and spits you right the hell out like you were nothing more than a play thing.

Nes: Well thats simple for me that goes to As one said before Contra 3

Sega...hmmmm Streets of rage 3 The last boss is that robot, I killed him a cheap way, but I fought him legit as the blonde haired guy, and got whipped, and I'm pro at those games.

Sega Saturn: Tch That would be Bugs.

Oh and Game Boy boss, this is the olden age when it came out first..the bulky ones..Goes to Final Fantasy Legend 1, and thats the last boss btw.

I'd list more but I feel that I'd only look like an ass.

[Ybrik Metaknight]

Vwee! Post 1000 on this thread.

I still say Zeromus from FFIV is the hardest final boss ever.

[StriderYoko]

The Last Boss in Shinobi for the PS2

and the last boss in Ikaruga for GC

[Cpt_Zach]

and the last boss in Ikaruga for GC
Damn, that whole game is so hard, I never even got to the last boss!

[damathacus]

Vwee! Post 1000 on this thread.

I still say Zeromus from FFIV is the hardest final boss ever.

I'm trying to kill him right now. Stupid hard type, there's no way to keep
your characters alive through that battle if you don't spend hours levelling up.

[- Myke -]

I haven't read this thread at all. So I have to go

With Mike Tyson in mike tyson's punch out. What a cheap mother fucker.

[DJ Riott]

:oops: In metroid prime, the crazy bass in the sunchamber. i came to realize the boss was easy but if you had the little cordination i did you would see why it was the hardest boss i ever faced. it gets embarrassing when you talk about how many hours you tried beating it too haha.

[KiwiLord]

Mundus in "Dante Must Die" mode in the game 'Devil May Cry'. If you try Dante Must Die mode and don't buy many powerups, like all the life you can get, or vortex, Mundus will kick your ass non-stop.

Castelvania 1. Death. ugh.

side note:Easiest final boss ever is Yu Yevon in FFX. you can not die during the fight! He brings you back to life!! WTF!
