All Time Hardest Boss

[Spectre General]

I just got to Igniz on King of Fighters 2001. Lemme put it this way.

I can beat Shin Akuma in Capcom vs. SNK 2, I can beat Ultra Rugal in Capcom vs. SNK 2, I can beat Shin Akuma in Street Fighter Alpha 3, I can beat Bison in Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the highest difficulty level. Kouryu and Original Zero are wimps

~~I can't beat Igniz on beginner with only 1/3 of his life~~
(I probablly could, if I kept trying for like 5 hous, but that's not even worth it.)

What is wrong with you SNK????

[Spectre General]

Actually I just realized that if you use your entire team, and have no strikers then you take damage like a mother, and deal about as much damage as a spitball.

Once I figured that out I beat Igniz like a red-headed stepchild.
He's still cheesy as hell though.

P.S. THIS THREAD WILL NEVER DIE!!! MWAAHAHAHAH!!

[Savior Sephiroth]

Seila from Chaos Legion. There's an interesting secret to beating her, it's almost obvious, yet hidden.

[DUCKB0Y]

Ansum, before he becomes his uber huge final form. Ya know, the version you fight the like... third or fourth time when fighting him after end of the world, in the odd Destiny Island location.

I would but Sephiroth in there too, the Kingdom Hearts version anyway, but I think that's a given.

[skudge]

The last Mizar in Jet Force Gemini was quite difficult. Probably the hardest boss in recent games.
Took the letters right off my keyboard.

I remember I had the damnedest time with that ugly mofo and finally gave up. Then months later I popped it in for the hell of it and beat him first try. The glow was with me that day friend.

[skudge]

Do you remember the final boss in the original Rygar? I haven't played that game in years, but ,as far as I remember, I was never able to stay alive longer than 10 sec.
I remember beating that game but I did it the lame way. I attacked minions until all of my levels were incredibly high. Then it was not hard at all.

[Lulanie]

ruby weapon with out any HP plus materia and at level 54..... ouch...
but I did it after 35 times.

:mrgreen: meh...

[RouWa]

Snake Rattle´n Roll (NES). That stupid bigfoot...

[des223]

I only play NES games (well, a few PC games as well), but I can give you a list of classic killer bosses, and reply to come that have already been mentioned:

Time Lord (NES) - The big guy with the sombrero in the Wild West stage...damn thing takes like a zillion hits to come close to killing it. I'm still convinced that there *must* be a secret to killing him, other than shooting him for 10 minutes straight. :x

Wizards and Warriors III (NES) - In this game, there is actually a remix of the original Wizards and Warriors theme...I'm surprised nobody has tried a remix starting with this remake. But I digress...if you manage to get to Malkil, he is the ULTIMATE in hard bosses. He flies swiftly through the air, throwing a series of homing projectiles at you, and has as much life as you. You basically have to trade hits and hope you get lucky once in a blue moon.

Double Dragon III (NES) - Because of emulators, I was able to save right before the final fight against Princess. That is the only way I was able practice beating her...she is fast, VERY strong, and has scores of cheap moves. Heck, all she has to do is raise her arm, and you go flying across the screen...no way of blocking it, either.

Final Fantasy 3j (NES) - The Cloud of Darkness can be an easy battle...if you're leveled up enough. But just try beating her with an underleveled party, and it takes FOREVER if you even manage to stay alive.

[Chaos the Dark One]

I'm shocked... I browsed through every post on here since the beginning. (Cable Modems and speed reading help) It's been going on for two years, and Dizzy from Guilty Gear X is only mentioned once?

Granted Testament and Zato-1 (who isn't really a boss character anyway) were kinda pushovers (not to mention Testament's super attacks are worthless) but if you let your guard down to Dizzy for less than a second (on any mode harder than the easiest one) she'd floor you before you knew the fight was over.

Frustrating but do-able... I didn't mind continuing, though... Awe of She is a really cool song.

And for 3D fighters... I once made the mistake of putting Dead or Alive 3 on Very Hard and somehow ended up fighting Omega (Genra). Not that the boss is as hard as it is cheap. You can't counter-attack or throw it, (doing so results in a simple "dodge" move) and every time you knock him down, if you happen to be standing on the ground... which is a logical place to be standing, you take damage and fall down from the shockwave. Stand too far away, and he pelts you with fire and magic. Get too close and he'll blow you back (so he can do the fire/magic crap again) or fling you around like a rag doll. Tecmo's icing on the cake comes in the form of a goofy blur effect in the graphics, and the stupidest camera angle ever seen in a 3D fighting game. Yet somehow I STILL managed to eke out a victory after about 35 continues...

I love you, Ayane!

Time Lord (NES) - The big guy with the sombrero in the Wild West stage...damn thing takes like a zillion hits to come close to killing it. I'm still convinced that there *must* be a secret to killing him, other than shooting him for 10 minutes straight. :x

Shoot him in the back.

[Scuba]

Sheesh, the FF7 bonus bosses were insanely hard.
And the Sonic 2 last boss was also insanely hard.

[Armoured Priest]

For me some of the hardest bosses:

King Tsarkon in Sword of Vermillion...although admittedly I was under level, level 23 vs the level cap of 31.

Optional boss in the desert in Final Fantasy X-2 in chapter 5. I will say no more for those who haven't played it this far yet, but again dificulty is attributable to me being lower level than I probably should have been.

Most iterations of Death in the Castlevania games. I feel that the castlevania one version is the hardest, which makes me doubly proud that I managed to videotape myself defeating him without taking so much as a single hit.

The three NES Ninja Gaiden games were all difficult in general, but I feel that the third was the most difficult, and had the most difficult boss of any of them...the second to last boss, I don't recall his name, but I think it was your evil twin powered up.

[Strife.]

How about a mega toneberry from FF X-2. 50,000 damage? Sure thing!

[des223]

Time Lord (NES) - After shooting the big guy in a sombrero in the back with a shotgun about 800 times, and he still wasn't dead, I think he is the hardest boss of all time. I swear, there's no way to kill him, even with shooting him in the back at close range.

I know I posted this before, but it's worth a double post...he is just that tough!

[Wabbajack2]

How about a mega toneberry from FF X-2. 50,000 damage? Sure thing!

Get catnip and any character with trigger happy while being critcal. The rest of the game is a joke afterwards.

[Strife.]

Not really, I still am getting my ass handed to me on cloister 91. Why 91??!? It just seems that all the monsters I fight are either Elder Drakes or other uber (haha, fun word) hard monsters/bosses. But I will prevail...

[Wabbajack2]

Stopped after the 40th geting the catnip and started to own every enemy on sight... That bikineil desert boss with 2 parts and his main part. Piece of cake with Trigger happy fast 9999 shots :)

[Strife.]

Man,I'm never going to get 100 % in this game. I finnally beat the Gunner's gauntlet level MAX though. That was rewarding.

[smallestfry]

that's great!

what does that do exactly...

[Bahamut]

This thread is still alive?

While I'm at it, the Ninja Gaiden final boss is a fucking hellish time to beat (the first one in the series on NES). If you die you get teleported all the fucking way back to Act 6-1!! (6-2 and 6-3 were HELL)

[Sir Toaster]

I just fought the Magus Sisters in FFX-2.

Screw Yunalesca. Yunalesca was hard. But these bitches flat out CHEAT. How the hell can they be getting their turns four or five times in a row. I move to Machina Maw (theory: Mindy's the hard one. I'll kill her, maybe another, then switch back so all my characters get exp. Muahahahaha). They use Delta attack, which set me down to 1 hp, then they all get their turns and kill Rikku. I yell and turn off the game, cursing square.

[Lynsent]

Sephiroth in Kingdom hearts

*Don't cast stones at me !! :cry: *

(I was used to the command system but this boss kicked my ass a thousand times... I actually gave up)

[smallestfry]

I also nominate sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts

[l33t n1nj4]

Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts? Please. It's called superglide. Superglide over to him as soon as he teleports to do Sin Harvest, hit him, and he won't do it.

Once you get it down, kinda easy, IMO.

Hardest boss as of late? Ozma from FFIX was a pain.

But hardest boss of all time? I dunno. Never really got to the hard bosses (Tyson, Death, etc.) from old games.

[Red Shadow]

the green blocks. tetris. they just wont stop coming, you can never win!

[Chadwick]

astroman- megaman 8

[Tetsuo Shima]

They are not bosses but the hardest fight i have ever done was the red chocobos at the finath river in final fantasy tactics took me forever to beat them. :x

[Autocrat]

Hardest boss would have to be in ninja gaiden 2, and its actually that STRING of bosses you fight at the end. Its so insane, no wonder they give you a life up after every stage

[CopycattVII]

heh, RPG boss can be difficult but not impossibale. You need to be at the right levels. Like Atma weapon in FF3, piece of Cake no challage. Final Fantasy VII. Ruby and Emerald, not a problem. Took both those guys out easy. All you need to really know is how to play the game you are playing. If you can't beat a boss then you don't knbow how to really play the game. Bosses like that are made to test your skills at that game. Learn more then perhaps you can figure a way to kick the shit out of that bosses ass!

[pokezel]

DDR. MAXX UNLIMITED. HARDEST.BOSS.EVAR.
if you count it as a boss of course ^^

[Warmech]

Double Dragon III (NES) - Because of emulators, I was able to save right before the final fight against Princess. That is the only way I was able practice beating her...she is fast, VERY strong, and has scores of cheap moves. Heck, all she has to do is raise her arm, and you go flying across the screen...no way of blocking it, either.



No, but you can move out of the way and not get hit by it.

[Tetsuo Shima]

Any of the Weapons from Final Fantasy 7 and up. :evil:

[Sir Toaster]

Any of the Weapons from Final Fantasy 7 and up. :evil:

Ultima Weapon from FFX was a wuss. Omega wasn't much better.

[Seven]

Any of the Weapons from Final Fantasy 7 and up. :evil:

Unlike most of the bosses in FF7, you couldn't just run into battle and just keep mashing X to win against the weapons. If you know what to do against each one, it's not really that hard.

[Tallis Spar]

Not the hardest boss ever but Piastol in Skies of Arcadia Legends is a tough cookie if you aren't leveled (and even if you are she is damn annoying). And using a scythe gives her a +3 awesomeness bonus to her boss rating.

[Sylantnight]

Ozma from FFIX isn't that hard at all!!!!! you have to use that stupid frog in your team to take off the status effects and then smash all his MP with a Hammer!.. didn't take longer than 5 minutes to beat after that.. trust me.. Who ever said it's eazy to kill the Emerald in FFVII is a LIAR and either never played that game or is WAAAY too cocky.. plus too much credit for ya because that was probably the hardest ANYONE could face.. I mean first of all I played that game like 4 times and every time I went and fought the Emerald with everyone on Lv.99 and got EVERYTHING that can kick ANYTHING'S A$$... I must've did Nights of The Round like 15 times, Omni slash like 8 times and demi ALL the time for about 19 minutes straight... That summon does 99999 12 or so times, Omni slash too and just regular demi takes 99999.. THEN he died after about 10 times of trying.. what the hell kind of monster can go through THAT?! COME ON! :evil:

[Spectre General]

Dude, when I beat Emerald, he never hit me. And I wasn't even level 99. Link Knights of the Round to HP Restore. Then W-summon it, Mime, Mime, Mime ect... Yeah it takes forever to kill him, but you own him easily. By my calculations he has around 1,000,000 HP. Then again, I'm the only person I know who has ever had Air Tam Storm MISS. So....

[CreatorGX]

Omega Pirate in Hard Mode.no question.
You have to be like light-speed button handler....to beat him...and i beat him on my B-day for some reason...unlike the other 236 times....yes...i have kept counting
and you need like a full arsenal of energy tanks just to survive one move..... Meta Ridley and Hard-Mode Metroid Prime are pushovers from this guy....since Prime form2 is easy as hell...and form1 is hell in hard....... WORST NIGHTMARES EVAR

[The Coop]

Anyone ever played a tough little game called The Adventures of Batman and Robin on the Sega Genesis? It wouldn't surprise me if few people ever have, as it was an insanely hard game from start to finish. Long levels, tough bosses, lots of enemies, and firepower that was a bit underwhelming. I was playing through that profanity inducing game yesterday for fun, and one boss stood out... the level three boss from The Mad Hatter's level.

At the end of this level, you're faced (no pun) with a HUGE face of the Cheshire Cat. With a pair of claaws that move around and nail you, it also shoots out of it's eyes. This doesn't sound like much, but when you play it, it's always moving pretty quickly... making you always on the run dodging shots and the claws while trying just to get off a shot or two at it. This thing take a long... long time to kill. So long in fact, that chances are you'll never last long enough to actually kill it. I did once... once. I've never done it again.

It's such a simple thing with not that many attacks, but it sure as hell is hard.

[Bren]

well...he might not necessarily be the hardest boss...but hes the toughest boss off the top of my head: Deadbeard from Golden Sun. (in case that wasnt his real name, its the boss of the secret island with all the great treasures)

[Lulanie]

I have yet to find one.........



:mrgreen: kitty kitty meow..........

[Alexi Stuvok]

Omega Pirate in Hard Mode.no question.


True that. I still haven't beat him, and I was amazing at the game.

[And_Justin_4all]

i do believe that the toughest boss i've ever faced, was Mr. Dream from the origional punchout on the NES. i couldn't beat him WITH gamegenie codes. but that's just my opinion.

[Sir Toaster]

Dude, when I beat Emerald, he never hit me. And I wasn't even level 99. Link Knights of the Round to HP Restore. Then W-summon it, Mime, Mime, Mime ect... Yeah it takes forever to kill him, but you own him easily. By my calculations he has around 1,000,000 HP. Then again, I'm the only person I know who has ever had Air Tam Storm MISS. So....

I beat him at level 75. Cloud had the final attack/Phoenix combo (which I didn't even need), and Yuffie had conformer and 4x attack. One or two mastered hp up materia, some megalixers, and I was set. I didn't even have knights of the round!

The trick is that aire tam storm does 1111 damage for each materia you have, so if you only have two or three, you're okay!

Ruby I had KOTR and Mime. I inputted the commands, ate dinner, and saw that I had won.

[DMC_Freak]

uhm The Batman game for nes is hella hard, Contra bosses, and contra....and uhm if your not at a high enough level some PSO I&II bosses are....damn you ugly fish enemies!

[Vagrant's_Angel]

Every boss on Mega Man Zero 2 on GBA.

[Aerospace]

well...he might not necessarily be the hardest boss...but hes the toughest boss off the top of my head: Deadbeard from Golden Sun. (in case that wasnt his real name, its the boss of the secret island with all the great treasures)

Deadbeard? Meh, he was kinda tough...not as bad as Dullahan though.
To beat deadbeard I took Garret and all he did the whole fight was use the flash djinn....over, and over....Mia cast Wish when necessary...which was basically during those turns when Flash was not protecting the party....

which was really only every other turn, so no big deal.

Ivan and Isaac went nuts with summons and offensive magic, Mia only casting what small spells she can when not healing.



I have not done any huge tactics-forming for Dullahan other than summoning all I can on him, and letting my party go down...hoping it does enough to kill him.


And Sephiroth in KH, like I said somewhere a few pages back, is tricky to get the hang of....at first he'd waste me in just his normal form, before I could see any damage to his health bar....
After I got through that, he wasted me a LOT when he does his "Don't let me die!!!" thing. Dodge roll is your friend :)

Finally when I survived that, after a LOT of dodging, healing and pathetic attempts to attack him, he did his final form thingie....
That was easy...I was really glad for my big defense against darkness :)
I got that part on my first try, then got him down successfully again the next day.

The trickiest part is just getting the strategy, and I was quite proud to not have looked at any strategy guides, gamefaqs, etc....:P



lol Mega Man Zero 2....my friend has that game...she showed it to me, I couldn't beat the first level...but then again, I've always sucked at MegaMan.

Yeah, I didn't think he was that hard. I think The Mad Hatter and Mr. Freeze were harder. I loved that game, though.

[Cerd_Fen]

Gotta hand it to Lavos's first form. NOT the wimpy ones you fight at the end of the game, but the one that comes out of the Mammon Machine. I know, you're not supposed to beat him, but I couldn't let myself do that...

Sheesh, does that guy dish out the damage

[HorrorgasM]

final boss of robocop vs terminator for genesis
its just this big terminator head that you have to jump around shooting for like a half hour while it shoots at you and terminators keep popping up and attacking you

final boss of shinobi for ps2
holy shit what a cheap bastard, the only way to hurt him is to kill those little guys that pop up and charge your sword then hit him so you have to do that perfectly several times then hope that he doesnt block you and make you do it all over again

last 2 levels of firestarter for pc
I've never fought a cheaper bunch of bosses ever in my life. in the 2nd to last level you have to go through the whole level then kill the boss who does you constant damage just by looking at you. you cant save so if you die you have to do the whole level over and once youre in the room with it you cant leave and theres only a few health things which dont seem to respawn and arent enough to help much. I'm not even going to get into the level after that.

[CreatorGX]

Omega Pirate in Hard Mode.no question.


True that. I still haven't beat him, and I was amazing at the game.
Try bringing a friend over... they seem to have good luck...
and whenever you collapse from a pirate-induced coma ,they can cover for you... the ploblem is....I never found that last missle tank...
but its nessessary that you grab every tank... or powerup you can get your hands on.... hand and a gun on....
and after reliving the PRIME nightmare... you're in for hell

[HorrorgasM]

I dont know why everyone has such a hard time with omega pirate. it took me a few tries the first time I fought him, but once you figure out how to hurt him its pretty easy. hes not that much harder on hard mode either. just make sure you have a lot of missiles and youre fine.

[X infested Falcon]

First time I tried Omega Pirate on hard i got him to half health... that was after not playing the game for 3 months... So really I wouldnt consider him the hardest...

I havent really faced anything that I would consider "hard" But the Boss that gave me the most trouble was Sephiroth from KH. But, its all about knowing what he does. He has like... 5 different stages. first he just does the slash and the firewall. Then he goes on to sin harvest. Then off into his beserk mad ground to aerial combo. Then the meteor attack, and those anoyying black orbs while he does the spinning attack right after teleport. Once you see all his stages, he's cake.

For some weird reason I had trouble with Kurt Zisa... o.O

Try beating any of the bosses in Super Metroid with a keyboard... now THATS hard... since the keyboard cannot read 2 keys at once... you gotta be able to jump then let go then shot in about a split second... Hard shiz...

[SnappleMan]

Freya on Universe difficulty in Star Ocean 3. No contest.

[CreatorGX]

I dont know why everyone has such a hard time with omega pirate. it took me a few tries the first time I fought him, but once you figure out how to hurt him its pretty easy. hes not that much harder on hard mode either. just make sure you have a lot of missiles and youre fine.
beating the normal pirate was easy...
but i never used missles like you do...long reload time...
plus its kinda weak...
TWAS THE SURROUNDING ENEMIES THAT I IGNORED THAT CAUSED DEATH

X-infested Falcon over there helped me out when he came over... even though I was the one who kicked his a$$...

[HorrorgasM]

well super missiles obviously...not the regular ones. it would take like an hour if you used regular ones

[drak2074]

Wheel of Fate from House of the Dead 3. Not the hardest boss ever, but damn, the first time me and a friend took him on we had to use a lotta quarters...not to mention my arms were DAMN tired from that shotgun, but hey, nothin beats a shotgun when killin the undead :P

[Dark Star Kefka]

I say Myria from BoF III, have yet to beat her, that swarmy little...grrr....It's so not fair xD especially 'cause I lost my data and have to play the game over, for a 4th time, heh.

That, or the Black pirates from Metroid Zero Mission

And definately, definately the last boss in Gradius Galaxies, the brain? hardest thing ever

Heh heh, just kidding xD

[Alexi Stuvok]

Actually, almost every boss in that game I only beat when I had a friend over. Maybe it is some sort of good luck thing...
As for energy tanks, I have every single one that I could get at this point, and I have most of the missle upgrades. Omega Pirate would be no problem if it wasnt for his lackey pirates. Those are the guys that end up killing me in the end.

But thanks for the advice, I'll keep that in mind. :D

Oh, and Hell won't be a problem. :twisted:

Myria was quite a time consuming boss... I can't think of a REALLY hard boss atm.

[CreatorGX]

well super missiles obviously...not the regular ones. it would take like an hour if you used regular ones

I don't know what game your talking about.... this is METROID PRIME...
there arent any super missiles...even with a gameshark

Super missile? in PRIME?

Geez you must have played it eons ago to forget that badly

[professor_scissors]

Your keyboard sucks.

[The Coop]

Have you ever run into a boss that seemed so hard and unfair, that it just drove you nuts trying to figure out what in God's name you were supposed to do the kill the damned thing? I encountered just such a boss with the final boss of R-Type Final. The bosses in the rest of the game aren't too hard. But the final one...

You arrive at the boss after going though a somewhat odd stage with the silhouette of a man S-L-O-W-L-Y moving onto the silhouette of a woman. Eventually you come to a big boss that creates a vortex of spacew junk around itself and starts spewing space junk, space ships, etc. at you... and a lot of them. It has a few other attacks that it'll use against you as you try and battle this thing, but blowing up this first half is pretty simple for those that remember the first R-Type. If you last long enough, the game'll actually give a direct hint as to what to do to get past the first half. Then comes the second half.

I don't know how many times I died on this thing experimenting with ideas on how I was supposed to kill it. At one point, I stayed alive for fifteen minutes while it did it's only attack... hurling patterns of your own fully powered bit (the thing that you can attach and detach from your ship), and these bits are indestructable. I learned alot about timing and dodging during my repeated battles with this boss phase... only to find out that the solution to beating it was painfully simple. I won't say how it's beaten, only that you have to be patient, and watch carefully.

It was a boss like the final boss from Quake... you can't figure out how to beat the damned thing, only to realize later that it was a very simple solution in the end.

[Sir Toaster]

My 8-year-old brother started playing my game of Kingom Hearts, and beat Kurt Zisa. He's not even very good. I cast Tinkerbell for him, but other than that, he did it. It was crazy, and yet funny.

[hhallahh]

Try beating any of the bosses in Super Metroid with a keyboard... now THATS hard... since the keyboard cannot read 2 keys at once... you gotta be able to jump then let go then shot in about a split second... Hard shiz...

Re-key your controls. Some buttons can be pushed in more than 2-button combos, some can't. I forget exactly how it works, but.. it's a problem that can be avoided.

[The Coop]

Taking a small trip across the pond, brings me another boss. While I didn't actually go anywhere, the game is a Japan only Mega Drive cart called Undeadline. The game itself is a good challenge, but the final boss is like hitting a sheer cliff in difficulty.

After battling through the level and fighting a particular wizard for the second time, there's a big blast that vaporizes him and shatters the wall behind him. The screen starts scrolling up and your character starts running. Timed blasts start hitting on either side of you, pretty much keeping you in the middle of the screen. After a few seconds, you find out what's shooting those blasts.

A rather good sized skeletal demon is sticking out from a large hole, an eye on each of it's hands, and it's those eyes that are shooting the blasts. Once the screen stops scrolling, the fun begins.

You've got maybe a couple inches vertically and the width of the screen to move in. Not a lot of maneuvering space. The demon moves its arms around and the hands just follow you. There's no safe spot, and the blasts send out a small shockwave on the ground that hurts you just as much as a direct hit by the blasts. Each hand alternates firing, with about a two-second break between a give hand's shot, which doesn't give you much time to move around out of the way. If you manage to live long enough, and do enough damage, the demon adds a new attack that happens at the same time of the hand blasts... a showering of small shots that cover the width of the screen, guaranteeing a hit no matter where you are. What happens after that? I don't know, as I have yet to get beyond that second phase of attacking.

All the while, you have three bars of life. Three hits, and you're dead... then you have to fight the wizard again and make your way back to the final boss. You have a shield to block the smaller shots, but it's useless against larger ones, and you can't shoot while using the shield.

I don't know this final boss' name, as the game and manual are both in Japanese (oddly enough). But he's a tough shit regardless.

[Lavos, Devourer of Time]

I always found Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts to be hard. After a while I was able to fight him and when, then I found out he had another phase in battle. 8O The "run around and annihilate you with quick blows and omnislash" phase. He always wiped the floor with my @$$ at that point. And yet, I still fought him about 20-30 times before I realized how futile it was. :cry:

[Wacky]

Mellissan from Baldur's Gate 2, Throne of Bhaal Expansion. To all you liars out there who said it was easy... BAH!!!!



Mind you, she IS defeatable, but even doing it is tough stuff.

Complete Magic Immunity, She casts Time Stop, removes all protective magic from your guys, curses them with a -10 malison (If you know your D&D rules well it's a REAL downer) she casts Balor demons and God knows what, has 4 phases, and her melee attack paralyses you. She's also immune to all but +4 weapons and above (To put it in perspective, there are about 5 decent weapons in the entire game +4 and above)... and it takes searching.

Mind you the Battle music Rocks so hard you won't notice you're dying miserably :D

hehe, beating sephiroth is hard, but far from impossible. Personally, this was the most rewarding thing i've ever done in a video game. It took me around 15-20 goes, but when i finally did it, i was so overcome with joy that i ran and hugged my little brother (who had been cheeering me on) and proceeded to run out of the house and roll around in the grass laughing. It makes me smile evan thinking about it.

btw, i think kingdom hearts is fantastic, flame me if you must, but you're not changing my mind :D

Sephoroth maybe hard, but try beating camp on extreme in Metal Gear Solid 2. That my friend takes dedication and co-ordination.

The Hardest boss I've encounterd would have to be vamp on extreme difficulty in Metal Gear Solid 2, We had two people alternating fighting hm every day for some times hours. And it still to weeks to kill him, once they killed him once they could do it againg though, because thy had vamps moves and how to get out of them so memorized.

I have never beat him/her (i dont know what it is).

[Krendall]

Culex from Super Mario RPG

I have never beat him/her (i dont know what it is).
Equip Peach with the Lazy Shell Armor so she only takes 1HP of damage from anything. That way she can constantly heal when needed. Is Culex that dude from that one weird room? The guy who says he's from another world? If so...

SPOILER

Culex is a crossover character from Final Fantasy (remember, Square made Mario RPG). It looks similar to Astos from FF1, and it has the Four Crystals from the first five games. Also, after you win, the classic Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare plays.

[tgfoo]

I was wondering, has anyone ever beat Ruby Weapon (FFVII) without beating Diamond first? Not saying it's the hardest. But it seems like it would be damn hard (if not impossible) if you didn't have some mastered materia in the one character that doesn't get knocked away.....I was just wondering....

Have I posted in this topic? Can't remember. Anyway.....

LUCA FREAKING BLIGHT. You fight him five ####ed times. The first time it's your army vs. his army in a Fire Emblem/Advance Wars-esque battle. The next three times is using three completely differnet six-man parties of characters against him and some cronies, and the last time it's the hero vs. him one-on-one. Unless you bloody do the Rockaxe trick, or are a level up whore, you will NOT beat him anytime soon.

[Evilhead]

Nice double post!
Thank you for posting to declare a double post!

Thank you for posting to remind someone that they posted to declare a double post!

[Refelos]

all the last mission bosses in all armored core games are hard unless you know what to do
you gotta make a heavy tank core with the karasawa or finger machine and put yourself in a corner so they cant get behind you..

[Stak]

In Super Mario RPG, beating Culex WITHOUT the benefit of the Lazy Shell (either the armor OR the weapon) is something that I cannot do, even to this day.

Otherwise, I slap both shells on Mario and laugh at Culex's pathetic attempts to kill me while the rest of my team dies.

[Yume-Vision]

I would have to say Dark Falz and The Mother Brain, last 2 consecutive bosses in Phantasy Star II. PSII made you work HARD to lvl up, it seemed nearly impossible! Phantasy Star IV was way too easy, but still fun!

[Mahjong No OujiSama Yoshi]

I'd say the Bubble Bobble boss was toughest to me, I mean, I needed at least 700 tries to beat him on my NES, which I did in 3 months! Cause I never stopped playing that game. But, that's just me!

[The Coop]

I have one. And I don't like this one. It's pissing me off.

The end of chapter 2 of Painkiller. You're in the middle of a swamp. You're standing on a small patch of ground, surrounded by water that does damage to you if you step into it. Circling around you, is a big water monster, made up of that dirty swamp water. From time to time, it stops and launches a big dirty water bubble at you. If it hits, it hurts quite a bit... but that's stopped easily buy a shot gun blast. Another time it stops, it trusts it's arms into the water and a scorpion-like tail comes up and thwacks the ground where you're standing... doing more damage than the bubble. Relatively easy to dodge.

The thing is, I have no clue where to damage that dirty watered bastard. I have shot every inch of that big shithead, tried every weapon I had, and I just can't find the weak spot. I thought it might have been the bubbles that rise up out of the water, but they never seem to break.

I know this thing has a weakness, but damned if I've found it.

[Mae]

Anyone have any hints for that guy after Kuja at the end of FF9? He's probably not the all-time hardest boss...but, he's been giving me quite a bit of trouble for a little while now.

I still throw my vote to Wigraff from FFT. :D

God, i am getting fucking raped by him right now. please, PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HOW TO BEAT HIM. I like to read this thread, and if someone posts it i may accidentally scan over it.

[Warmech]

Well, when I beat him, it was pure luck. You've just got to hope to not get raped to hard by status effects with his Grand Cross attack. However, I will say this. I forgot his other big attack, the actual attack one that does huge damage to everyone, but it seemed to me that when one character was dead it didn't deal fatal damage. So the more people you have, the more damage it did I think. If you can keep two people alive so that you don't get a game over from stonage, you might be able to beat him.

[M Funk]

Not quite a hard boss, but in Metal Gear Solid 2, i can't do the bit before the last boss where (on xbox) you have to press Y as fast as you can. I thought of buying an autofire controller just to do it, but then thought, nah that'd probably just be a waste of money. If anyone has done it without an autofire controller, then you are not human!!!

[dkhighwind]

...I beat Sephiroth on the first try, with level 43 Sora, 42 Donald and 44 Goofy. You newbs.

Get out of my sight.

I'm impressed that you beat him with Donald, Sora, and Goofy, considering that the fight is one on one.

.....Yeah.

And Coop, I see your pride still demands you not let your thread die, eh? Come now, let it go!

[ShadovvClavv]

Heh, anyone ever play a game called palidin's quest? The last bosses final form can only be damaged by deflection shields, or this special spell which takes a huge chunk of the main characters HP. what makes it really difficult though is that people can't be revived mid-battle in that game.

[The Coop]

Quite a few months ago, my brother in law came up to visit with my sister, nephews and niece in tow. We were playing a lot of MechAssault on my X-Box, alternating back and forth between either deaths or missions. That was nearly a year and a half ago... and I'm still stuck.

See, after getting through all those missions, I can to final hangar. That hangar opens up and out comes a new playmate... Ragnarok. He has PPC guns. He has Javalin missiles. He has a lava gun (ouch). He has a shield. He has enough armor to cover a third world country. And he chases you... methodically. A few shots from him, and the game is over. As such, you're reduced to running around a large plane and trying to pick him apart. Does this work? I don't know. The longest I've lasted against him is about ten minutes worth of circling and taking quick shots as he comes around part of the plane in the middle of the battle field. Add to that the turrets that help pick you apart, and you have a nice "OH JUST KILL ME!" session.

I do know that fighting him in the open is death, and so is letting enough of him show from behind the plane. I don't know if my shots do any damage to his shield, but I know his shield always lasts longer than my Mech at least.

I refuse to look at a faq to find out how to beat him. I've kicked some righteous ass through the single player campaign, and I know I can beat him. It's been nearly a year and a half. Classes are done for the most part. So help me, I will see the end of MechAssault.


...

With my luck, there's something AFTER that pain in the ass :lol:

[Blaze the Sirens]

GAME = Ninja Gaiden
DIFFICULTY = Very Hard
BOSS = Alma

Simply put, she's kicking your ass right now and you haven't even faced her.

[Lasakon]

I can't really consider this a boss but, The General Diego level in red dead revolver on hard mode is friggen impossible. If i miss one cannon with my flare gun every cannon heat seeks on me and then there are those super sharp shooting union soldiers who can kill a Mexican soldier by thinking real hard.
Coop i know who you fell about Ragnarock, Never give up.

[The Coop]

Still working on Ragnarok. Lousy stinkin'...


Anyway, I just got done with a fun filled swearing fest having finally reached the end of Unreal Tournament 2003. Now I had no problems getting through the game, as the various matches really weren't that hard. However, when you reach the end, then the game pulls a nifty little switch on you.

Your final opponent is a man named Malcolm... and he cheats. A lot. Not so much as your start fighting him for the championship, but rather after he's been killed exactly 6 times. Once you score 6 on him, he goes into an apparent overdrive. He's almost always near where you revive after that, so he gets a fast and easy second kill on you. He can magically blast you point blank with a rocket launcher, and not die himself. He grabs nearly every weapon except for the weaker ones. He almost always get the power ups that appear about once a minute in the center of the arena. He pulls off shots that simply shouldn't have worked. Half the time, he seems to magically know where you are to fire some odd ricocheting shot.

Now I know that things like the shield power up and the 100 health power up afford him some endurance, but he does this WITHOUT those things. God help you when he gets the double damage power up, because then you're just fucked. I mean, I had 150 health, plus the 100 shield... and he killed my character in one shot and he didn't have the double damage. No one else in the game can do this to your character, so that's pretty damn cheap.

Oh. Before I finally beat that bastard about 15 minutes ago, I was ahead 9 to 2... but he still won. Nothing hurt him, and he pulled every trick I listed, including 4 kills from being right where my character materialized.

Even Xan or whatever his name was from Quake III was fairer than that :lol:

[Justamos3]

Shinryuu from Final Fantasy V for the hardest RPG boss.

Hellya, thanks to a little bit of lazyness I didn't level my guys up and this guy dropped me in a single move.

As for bosses I managed to beat would prolly be the flying fortress defense system boss from FFV or that transformed commander guy from Xenosaga.

If I may say as for the easiest boss by expectation would be the Emerald Weapon in FFVII. I killed em in like 5 minutes. Two 4X cuts and a slash all all doing 9999 dmg. God I loved that game :)

[Thalzon]

It may have been mentioned before, but.....
FIRE LEO.....

From Viewtiful Joe, he runs, he jumps, and he shoots giant rocks out of his head. Honestly, he's hard enough on Kids mode, and on Adult mode I'm getting raped by the stone Charles the 3rd.

Anyway, Fire Leo also has a nasty spinning attack that's too fast for human reflexes (so you gotta slow down and use up precious VFX powers or dodge up a bit and spin-kick your heart out) and if you touch him, WHAM! Three hearts, all gone. I heard on Ultra-V mode, he does about 12 hearts of damage. Yeah, that's really fair.

[dPaladin]

10 days until this thread's second birthday.

Even Xan or whatever his name was from Quake III was fairer than that The guy in the last level? He's the only one I can't beat on hardcore. He kills me almost immediately after my respawns every time I die. He's not that strong, it's just that the level sucks so bad.

[AquaBreaker]

God, did you ever beat Zaygos fused with Kaymat (last boss' final form)? Let's put it this way: Even if you were crazy enough to level everyone up to 99 (did that once), if you don't get both Gigabottles (all healing items must be equipped to be used, you CANNOT use spare items in battle), you are absolutely going to get raped by that bitch...

Plus you still take damage with the shield... Fuck Enix for making that bitch of a game. What the hell is the deal with having to PAY people to join you, AND have to pay HP to cast spells? I was so glad when I buried that bitch...

I always found Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts to be hard. After a while I was able to fight him and when, then I found out he had another phase in battle. 8O The "run around and annihilate you with quick blows and omnislash" phase. He always wiped the floor with my @$$ at that point. And yet, I still fought him about 20-30 times before I realized how futile it was. :cry:

hehe, beating sephiroth is hard, but far from impossible. Personally, this was the most rewarding thing i've ever done in a video game. It took me around 15-20 goes, but when i finally did it, i was so overcome with joy that i ran and hugged my little brother (who had been cheeering me on) and proceeded to run out of the house and roll around in the grass laughing. It makes me smile evan thinking about it.

Sephoroth maybe hard, but try beating camp on extreme in Metal Gear Solid 2. That my friend takes dedication and co-ordination.

btw, i think kingdom hearts is fantastic, flame me if you must, but you're not changing my mind :D
Agreed. It only took me about 10 tries though. it would have taken me less, but I didn't know where to get curaga.

...I beat Sephiroth on the first try, with level 43 Sora, 42 Donald and 44 Goofy. You newbs.

Get out of my sight.

King Matt...do you take us ALL for fools?
tho, i will admit that there's a remote chance of beating seph when you're level 43...there's no way you did it on the first try...so don't even come with that load of crap

[soccerook16]

The stupid machine at the end of southpark 64, I just couldnt beat him, even with cheats he still came back to life. BASTARD

[Julio Jose]

Gill from street fighter 3 2nd impact and 3rd strike. more so on 3rd strike. Damn resurrection. BLAST IT.
Igniz on KOF 2oo1, freaking insta supermove which takes of 3/4 ur health. No warning to it and he has infinite of it. Let alone all of his attacks take of the same as one of ur DOA thrasher moves.

[Julio Jose]

Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts? Please. It's called superglide. Superglide over to him as soon as he teleports to do Sin Harvest, hit him, and he won't do it.

Once you get it down, kinda easy, IMO.

Hardest boss as of late? Ozma from FFIX was a pain.

But hardest boss of all time? I dunno. Never really got to the hard bosses (Tyson, Death, etc.) from old games.
ur priorities are screwed. Sephiroth is harder, ozma i beat, it felt like instantly. Ozma was a sad excuse for a 'weapon' like idea. Ruby weapon was hard.

[Julio Jose]

I have found a new hatred... one which I thought I couldn't actually possess.

Ever played a lovely game called Guilty Gear X? No? Don't. Unless you want to be filled with rage, don't play this game. The final three bosses are absolutely THE cheapest sonsabitches you will ever have the misfortune of coming across.

Some ass named Testament, some dude with his eyes wrapped up, and an S&M demon chick named Dizzy await you for fights 8, 9 and 10, and they use the cheapest tactics. Three hit combos that will take two-thirds of your bar off. Ground attacks that knock you out of the air. Attacks that constantly get used and keep you at least half a screen away from your opponent 90% of the time. Special attacks that they seem to be able to pull off while they're in THE MIDDLE OF DOING A DIFFERENT MOVE!!!!!! You can't jump in, cuz you get hit. You can't stop blocking, because you get hit. You can't just stand and block, because their hits still do noticable damage even when blocked. Shoa Kahn wasn't as big a shit as these three characters.

Rugal in the KoF series could learn a few things from GGX's cheap pricks it calls bosses.
Maybe if you suck. I can pwn all of them with Sol on the hardest difficulty. Maybe because im a God at this game.. Wait, thats prolly why. KOF is way harder imo. The fast paced fighting in GGX really helps you out in evading enemy attack while the riggid yet excellent control in KOF make it alot harder. Not to mention infinite super moves for zero and the crew in KOF.

as long as you had final attack/pheonix paired and you started the battle with only one alive character, ruby weapon was a piece of cake.
oh, it helps to have a mastered mime as well...good to go!
but yeh, in general i agree that ruby was difficult
Ozma was truely a sad excuse too...good call

[ColorPhilosophy]

I still think Yunalesca is a bitch. she wasn't too hard.. But annoying as hell.

[Thalzon]

I still think Yunalesca is a bitch. she wasn't too hard.. But annoying as hell.

Tried fighting Neslug? (monster arena) He'll do about 40000 with each attack, and when you've done enough damage, he hunkers down into his shell and starts healing between 10000 and 500000 (yes, five hundred thousand) health points for every turn a character acts. Basically you have to kill off two thirds of your party, cast auto-life on the remaining member, and 99999 his ass until the shell vanishes. TOTAL. PAIN.

[Khendros]

Smithers and Mr. Burns from the Simpsons Arcade Game? Last I remember was pumping a helluva a lotta quarters into that machine to beat those two.

Holy fuck I used to love that game.

[Antifreeze23]

Man, I've read up to around page 25.

Here are some of my characters.

Almost any boss I've fought in Devil May Cry.

The Weapons in FFVII (I only actually attempted Ruby once, and that was years ago, and I didn't even prepare for it, nor do I really care to beat them.)

Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts - The problem with me and him is when he starts casting Sin Harvest, and I mis-time my attack, and instantly sends me down to critical.

One of the creatures from FFX's battle arena - he's the guy who has the attack convergance. He's one of the creatures that seriously annoyed me, besides the Jumbo Flan. That battle took awhile since I had to contantly switch people and heal and prepare for its attack.

Some Bosses that were mentioned but I beat/wasn't to happy with.

FFIX - This is going to sound odd, but I found Ozma to be a dissapointment. The thing is, after losing to him twice (without really preparing), I decided to go out of my way to prepare for him (lv to 99 and such). At around 70, I decided to see where I stand with him. I had Zidaine with Thievery at around 8000, Freya with a decent Dragon Lance, Aramant, and Vivi.
I beat him in 10 minutes, if that. He didn't cast curse once, and he used Meteor once (killed my party, but had auto live with auto-regan)

FFVIII - Omega Weapon. However, I did the Gllgamesh trick and used Squall, Zell, and Irvin. Here's the thing, I beat him at LEVEL 7 (Which means no Lionheart for me). (I beat the entire game without leveling up).

FFX - Nemesis/Omega God. After the struggle just to make it to him, he's a completely joke.

Skies of Arcadia - Rameriz final battle. ...It's a shame that he wasn't all that strong.

There are others, but till next time...

[Impassioned Havoc]

The last two battles of Shining Force III, Scenario 1. They are fought in direct succession. If the golem doesn't kill you, Arrawant will. I spent a good 8 hours leveling up my characters high enough to barely survive both battles. And I didn't even try shorting out the golem. I'll note that Arrawant had 600 HP, and the Golem has somewhere close to 3000. And you maybe deal him 1 damage a hit. Now that's a boss.

NOTE: This is when I did not know about those punk mercenaries in the bar in Malorie. I wasn't supposed to be able to beat Arrawant, but I did, god damn it.

[Darangen]

Black Rabite from Seiken Densetsu 3

[Doctor Device]

maybe it's just that I suck, but I can't beat the last boss of Rez at all...

..a loser is me!

[Silvite Gafgar]

I think I've said it here before, but I can't remember.....anyway, Luca Blight from Suikoden II. #### HE IS HARD. Unless you use the Matilda Trick near the beginning of the game to pump up your characters a whole lot, you will be having a very hard time getting rid him.

You have to fight Luca a total of five times - once in a Fire Emblem-esque battle between your army and his (which is automatically set for you to lose, BTW), THREE times in regular battle with three entirely different six-man parties, and then in a one-on-one duel between him and your main character. Ouchies.

[RimFrost the Tourianist]

i think Bowser in SMB1 , level 8-4 ...nah just kidding ...of the modern games out there its probably Metriod Prime the final boss (the core)..it took me about 8 or 9 tries to beat the son of a gun.. *note that it was on hard diff*

[Dr Mario Kart]

I would think that would be the item god in Disgaea, who as I understand it, is set to level 9316, with over a million hp.

[Refelos]

the last form of starman in earthbound.

[demalavor]

Last Boss in Arc the Lad: Spirit of Twilight

[Thalzon]

Last Boss in Arc the Lad: Spirit of Twilight

That's "Twilight of the Spirits" and yes, he's a bastard if you're below level 40. Otherwise, just use Tension Up skills and team attack him to death.

[KevinHideo]

I would think that would be the item god in Disgaea, who as I understand it, is set to level 9316, with over a million hp.

haa.. that makes me laugh.. i can take those guys out with laharl in a few moves.. try fighting prinny baal with enemy difficulty raised to the max..

DOOD, HE HAS 13000000 FREAKIN HEALTH
not to mention that he kills my lv 8000 (with 20000 levels stored) laharl in one god dam move..
wtf were the programmers thinking.. lol.. but then again, it makes me want to beat him more.. :P

[KevinHideo]

the last form of starman in earthbound.

hes pretty easy.. i dont ever remember having trouble with him and ive beat that game like 5 times..

lol, i used to think gigas was impossible, and he actually is unless u pray.. haha.. i fought him for over 2 hours b4 i tried to pray.. lol.. and my brother to this day hasnt figured it out yet and freaks out every time he tries cause he can never kill him.. or beat that game.. :P

[Big J]

I've done everything I can, and I still cannot beat the secret boss of Illusion of Gaia (he's like the firstboss of Soulblazer, only hard). I've gotten to him with the max amount of herbs/leveling/HP possible, and I still cannot beat him...
Although, that just makes me assume that (like most bosses in action games) there's some sort of secret tactic that makes him exploitably easy...
Damn hidden tactics!

[CopycattVII]

You boss is rally impossible. They can be difficult or challanging, but it also depends on your skill at the game or type of games you are playing.

I have a friend that coulndn't beat the last boss in Drakengard, he could get to the last 20 seconds then he would die. Well after a few trys i beat the game for him. And I know that this guy is really talaented so I know it wasn't the game.

And lastly look for all the options in a game that you can use to your advantage. I bet there is something that you can do to glitch the game or squezze by that one last attack. Heh, make the hard ones easy. Like Emerald and Ruby from Final Fantasy VII, or Bahumet from VIII.

[RushJet1]

I found the final bossin Golden Sun 2 to be rather hard. It has a move that can take out at least 1-2 of your party members in one hit, if it's strong, and it uses this move a LOT near the end.

Hm... reminds me of Necron from FF9 - if the guy had more HP than 200,000 (weakers HP for an FF final boss ever) he could have been a candidate, but that was his weakness.

Oh and the final boss from Mario is Missing!!11 not.

[McDuck]

Irenicus, in Baldur's Gate II, was the most difficult boss I had to fight (time stop, invulnerability, speed, time stop, wail of the banshee, death finger, time stop, wail of the banshee, another kill-you-all spell, time stop...)
I had to do the "I summon lots of monsters" and the "I am launching area of effect spells while actually not seeing you" tricks to be able to beat him.


Another one would be Omega in FFV (an optional boss), you had to use X-Fight and hope you will be able to kill it REAL FAST.
As for Shinryuu (the other optional boss), he was very easy if you used some water-protecting rings (tidal waves that heal you ? hmmm yummy)

[Amayirot Akago]

Jesus MOTHER****ING Christ the world's gone mad. I just read through all 93 goddamn pages of this thread.

After reading this thread, I made a list of bosses that gave me trouble...

Well, first of all, the last boss in Beyond Good & Evil. OMFG. Sure, he's easy when he's throwing Pey'J and Double H clones at ya, but when the platform gets surrounded by water and the floating eye thing attacks you in person... you gotta do EVERY MOVE IN THE EXACT CORRECT ORDER or it's curtains. He appears at one side, you wait to long and he hits you. You hit him, he teleports to another side to attack. I figured out the pattern when he appeared where after a while of dying and retrying, but when he appeared above me I was stumped... until I remembered I could dodge. Then he reversed the controls on me (the " you're losing control of your spirit" cutscene will haunt me forever for unskippability) and he handed my ass to me even harder. And he just kept on spewing alien language and "surrender Shauni" lines at me. My God, that guy pissed me off. Why was he trying to kill me if he needed Jade to survive? I was so relieved when I finally witnessed Jade thrust her Dai'jo in that damn critter's eye. TAKE THAT YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!

Next: the bosses in the Mortal Kombat games. Goro: 4 arms, fire balls, 100% killer instinct. He grabs you, it's all over, baby. Same goes for his tiger-striped pal from MK2, Kintaro. He kept stomping me, no matter what. Even tried Cage's ball breaker (hey, it worked against Goro in the movie)... I finally figured out a strategy to beat him, but then came Shao Kahn. THAT GUY WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE. Only with a handful of chars could I beat that guy. Baraka (blade fury, chop chop chop :twisted: ), Shao Kahn (triple fireballs all the way) and some others. Recently I found a cheat to activate one-hit kills on the PC version... I finally got revenge for all the times I lost. DIE BITCH!!!

Then comes MK3. Motaro... ugh. Don't get me started. Shao Kahn... why'd he even come back? HE DIED IN MK2. But for some reason he came back with more insane moves and powers. Only through a few quirks was I able to beat both these fuckers.

Braindead 13 (a game from the guys that made Dragon's Lair; interactive cartoon: right button, right time, or it's curtains). The final scene is totally unbeatable without a walkthrough. And just when you think it's over... SQUASH! There comes a piano.

I was a little disappointed, actually. I thought he was easy. Took me about four tries.

What about the boss at the end of the Abyss in Wild Arms 3? First, you beat him on floor 100, where he has 750,000 health. Then, you teleport to the first floor, and just as you're about to leave, you have to fight him AGAIN, and he has 1,000,000 HP, and uses all elemental attacks (instead of just fire like the first form). Keep in mind the last time you could have possibly saved was just outside the Abyss, which was about five hours ago.

[Dragoon]

dunno if anyone mentioned this one already, but the hardest boss i ever found was the angel girl in the bottom lvl of the trial dungeons in Star Ocean:2, still havent killed her............

[Zigblackwind]

ok ok i have you all beat!! and im serious. The hardest boss I've ever faught in any game what so ever was in the arcade game dungeons and dragons when you have the option to fight the red dragon. I spent 20$ in quarters tring to beat that thing!!! But its really really cool if you do beat him and beat the game because on the high scores they put a red dragon next to your name to signify that you didnt wimp out and you did slay the dragon. Yes, I'm a newb to this forums lol can someone tell me how to do the quote box thing like that? Also how to get a cool sig, I like mine how it is righ tnow but i would like to get a pic of magus on there.

[Tha Rob]

i don't think any boss is harder than ruby and emerald weapon. i've not beaten either

[XeLa89]

Alma from the new Ninja Gaiden is very hard to beat. Come to think of it, every boss in that game is hard to beat!

[Dragoon]

i don't think any boss is harder than ruby and emerald weapon. i've not beaten either

emerald and ruby weapons are easy to kill man, on emerald weapon, u just use knights of the round, and then have EVERYONE in the party use mime on it until hes dead, takes somewhere around 10 times i think...as for ruby, just use w-summon with hades and knights of the round, then mime it over and over...hades puts ruby wpn to sleep, and then knights hits for huge damage, that way he wont counter with his ruby ray

[jessthemullet]

A challenging but beatable enemy is Spekkio from Chrono Trigger. He matches you in strength, though he has stronger spells. Even with your levels maxed out, he can still stomp you. Although, he beatable when you first meet him.

[whiteknight]

oh please, strong combo skills, or magus' magic bullshit will blow spekkio away hardcore, so long as you dont get overzealous, and remember to heal your party.

[Merk]

I'm not even sure if this counts, since it's a tad unorthodox. In The 7th Guest, the time you're 'playing against Stauf' under the microscope. It's somewhat like Othello, but the AI made that part really hard.

Well, Once you pass the initial bosses in megaman 3.. Yuo might as well give up playing.

[DJ ætheta]

Very true.

Omega Weapon at lvl 99 in FF8. That thing is annoying to the max.

[Impassioned Havoc]

If I recall correctly, when you beat her, she drops a horn item, and if you play it on the overworld map, an even harder boss appears to fight you. Have fun with that.

The actual final boss of Star Ocean 2 wasn't too hard, though. My party of Claude, Rena, Ashton, and Dias, all equipped with bunny shoes, pretty much charged him, and threw all their killer moves on him at once. Mirror Slice was hitting so fast, the boss couldn't even move, much less get a spell off. He didn't last 10 seconds, haha. Good times.

[shikigami]

I had a dodonpachi vid once. It made my head explode.

YOOOOOOO DODONPACHI IS A SICK GAME. if you like that shooter try shikigami (where i get my name from) or mars matrix.

[The Author]

Nostalgia time:

What, everybody says Ultima weapon in FF8, what happened to Omega Weapon, I can kick Ultimecia's ass without using any other gf than Cereberus, and I can't last five seconds with that bastard.

But I believe that THE hardest boss I ever met was that secret boss from final fantasy in Super Mario RPG, you know the one with the four crystals... I catually finished the game, used my last available save, did some level up above what I was to beat the last boss, and still got my ass kicked.

Oh, and that whole level needed to beat a boss thing, well, I am pretty sure that when you observe the games of the old school, it was impossible to use this kind of algorythms, because the boss' stats had far less variables than the characters' and the proportionate evolution of a boss could not happen. If you lost, it might have been because you were not leveled up enough, but not because the boss was impossible... ... ... if you exclude the first encounter with bahamuth in FF3j, but that was because you had to run away... Anyway, the best example I can give is the 3 party battle in FF6 against Kefka, the first time I was beatten, without changing my teams, I just changed my strategy and I survived. With every boss, there are 2 ways to beat them, strategy or level uping.

But I can't think of a game making a boss impossible because the player was not leveled up enough, since games are made to be beatten.

My first post was here, in this thread, and other than the poor spelling and overall weirdness of the thing, I stand by it, Culex is the hardest boss ever.


And to think I made this post before I knew its name.

[soujiro_seta]

I haven't encountered much bosses that were hard to the extreme. But for the sake of posting, I'd say Phoenix Magnon from MegaMan Zero 2 [when you dont have any weapon powerups from killing any other bosses, nor any skill levels above 1].

[Scrabble_Ship]

Wow, this is a long thread. I wonder what the longest in Overclocks history is. That one on SSMB and chistian bashing were pretty long.

[The Author]

Longest timewise ? this one.

Page wise... around... 1500 pages for a conversation thread and about 2000 for a brainless postuping thread.

[Warlok lord]

I think that the all time hardest boss is gannon

[The Author]

I think that the all time hardest boss is gannonNo shit. You're almost surprising me there.

[Warlok lord]

Radical dreamer i used to be a zelda fan the only reson my first to names where zelda related and the hardest boss was zelda related is because i couldn't think of anything better at the time I was thinking and thats when i came up with warlok lord now the hardest boss i might actually say was the evil jedi lizard like dude off of Starwars jedi outcast

[AvionStyles]

Melbu Frahma in the Legend of Dragoon.
I beat him on the first try but it took 2 and a half hours to finish it.

[The Coop]

Serious Sam. A series known for it's boss battles that you have to fight through hundreds of little beasties to encounter said bosses. And true to form, I found another one.

In Serious Sam: Next Encounter, the second boss that you have to fight is basically a three headed worm. It starts out simple enough, with two heads going and back and forth with you. One head shoots spiked drills that stick in the ground and explode, while the other shoots lasers at you with two cannons. Once you start doing some damage, then things change a bit.

A third head arrives. This one's a dragon-like head and it shoots triple fireballs at you. Now God help you if one of those fireballs hits you, because it does quite a chunk of damage to you, fast, as you burn. Now after you've battled that for a while, the other two heads come back... but now the laser head uses on cannon with a long stream of shots. Now the first two heads and the dragon-like head go back and forth with you for a while. If you survive a bit longer, all three heads start attacking you, with the dragon-like head firing a long stream of fire that covers a pretty good sized area.

While all this is going on, there are large holes in the floor that should you fall in one, you die instantly in the lava below. Then you get start all over again. The battle with the three heads is hard enough, but the insta-death floor holes make it almost frustrating, as things get chaotic while you try to pay attention to where you are, where the drill spikes are, where the lasers are, and where the fire's headed.

Yeah. Definitely a tough boss... much tougher than the final one that's for sure.

[Blackwinged Saron]

hardest boss = X5 Sigma

I loved the X series until I encountered this one. Finally beat it, then what a treat I come to find that X6 is the WORST FRIGGIN GAME ON THE ASS OF THE UNIVERSE!

[Sunflare]

I really really hate Queen Iselia from Star Ocean 2. I had to try at least thirty times before I could beat her.

Wiegraf made me want to cry...until I leveled a little :D I was level 20 at the time, really for Wiegraf when you play for the first time .

[Ghost of ???]

M. Bison from Street Fighter 2 (Arcade). The classic Bison was harder for me to beat then Shin Akuma on any game! :x

[richter50512]

Death in the first Castlevania

[Ghost of ???]

Gil from Street Fighter 3. Man, I lost some close bouts to him at first. But I later found out that he can be tackled the same as Akuma!

[leokef]

Emerald and Ruby WEAPONs from FF7.

And Sigma from Megaman X3, I think it was... unsure.

[Master Shake]

The ghosts in Pac Man

[Ghost]

Legend of Mana a PS game for those who dont no it ... you know when u beat the game u have a new book on ur bookshelf and then ur ask a couple of questions and if u answer it in a certain way all the monsters jump to lvl 99 which makes the game almost impossible to beat!!

[Ghost of ???]

The ghosts in Pac Man

Judges..........?

That answer is acceptable for 1600 !

And now for our Double Jeopardy response....

At the end of World Tour Mode, you are confronted by not one, but TWO Shin M. Bisons....

[Ghost]

Man, I've read up to around page 25.

Here are some of my characters.

Almost any boss I've fought in Devil May Cry.

The Weapons in FFVII (I only actually attempted Ruby once, and that was years ago, and I didn't even prepare for it, nor do I really care to beat them.)

Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts - The problem with me and him is when he starts casting Sin Harvest, and I mis-time my attack, and instantly sends me down to critical.

One of the creatures from FFX's battle arena - he's the guy who has the attack convergance. He's one of the creatures that seriously annoyed me, besides the Jumbo Flan. That battle took awhile since I had to contantly switch people and heal and prepare for its attack.

Some Bosses that were mentioned but I beat/wasn't to happy with.

FFIX - This is going to sound odd, but I found Ozma to be a dissapointment. The thing is, after losing to him twice (without really preparing), I decided to go out of my way to prepare for him (lv to 99 and such). At around 70, I decided to see where I stand with him. I had Zidaine with Thievery at around 8000, Freya with a decent Dragon Lance, Aramant, and Vivi.
I beat him in 10 minutes, if that. He didn't cast curse once, and he used Meteor once (killed my party, but had auto live with auto-regan)

FFVIII - Omega Weapon. However, I did the Gllgamesh trick and used Squall, Zell, and Irvin. Here's the thing, I beat him at LEVEL 7 (Which means no Lionheart for me). (I beat the entire game without leveling up).

FFX - Nemesis/Omega God. After the struggle just to make it to him, he's a completely joke.

Skies of Arcadia - Rameriz final battle. ...It's a shame that he wasn't all that strong.

There are others, but till next time...

HOW IN GODS NAME DID U BEAT FF8 WITH OUT LEVELING UP... THATS IMPOSSIBLE!!! unless u have no life

[SLyGeN]

theres 96 pages here, so forgive me if this has already been said. There is one boss that is indeed impossible.

Super Metroid. First time you fight ridley? he cannot be beaten! he just attacks you until your health warning starts beeping. then he throttles the space station.

If you want a boss that doesnt do something like that, bongo bongo from Ocrania of Time gave me a good whupping. again, forgive me if that has been said before.

[DJ Riott]

And with all of these bosses, there are always those who have beaten them.

I beat ridley and Bongo first tries :lol: ^^^^

now, bosses im sure others beat, yet i had trouble with, was the Arachnid Type boss in Metroid Fusion

- Sigma in Mega Man X BUT - I went through the game and got NO HEALTH pick ups. Pretty tough, but do Able

That was sorta staged there, SlyGlen. You CAN'T beat him until later in the game. He fights a little similar but there's acid at the bottom so be careful!

[Sector]

Yes, the arachnid thing was annoying as hell. But the other day I picked up my GBA and started playing Fusion again, and beat it third try. My other play throughs, it always took me forever. The SA-X, which I thought was hard, turned out to be pretty easy this time, and I actually beat the game.

I probably have already answered before, back when I was active in the forums, but I'll do it again. The hardest boss I've fought is probably Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts.

heheh, that arachnid was pretty easy for me as i recall, were just good in different areas. i was talking about the first ridley encounter, theres no way you couldve beaten that one first try, or any try. but as Shen Long pointed out, we can throttle him in Norfair.

Sephiroth is freaking easy when you learn his pattern.

Sadly, Ridley was too easy in Super Metroid. By the way, I lasted probably 20 minutes against his first encounter. When he finally got my power down enough, he called it quits! The only boss that gave me a run for my money was that green Shrimp looking
Boss that grabs you and does hefty damage to you. It's past the wrecked ship in Maridia I think.

I think I remember that one. You can blow out this port thing in the wall and shoot the grapple beam into it to channel electricity through Samus and thus the boss (while he's holding you). Eats up a big chunk of your health, if I remember correctly, but takes him out in a matter of seconds.

There's a safer way in case you are not strong enough. As he's shooting things slowly towards you, shoot them to collect energy and missiles. Just before he reaches your side of the room, quickly change into the morph ball and go under him. Every pass, he will do a few dives at you, so duck and cover. As he gets weaker, he'll dive even faster at you. Repeat the patterns until he is brown, and OUT!!! Boy, he wasn't that tough to figure out was he? And thanks for the extra tip too Kureejii.

[Liquid Zero]

Hardest boss eh? Don;t laugh at my incompetence but my worst pains were the combined team of Fujin and Raijin from FF8. the game right up to that was soo easy, then i fought them and *WHAM* Squall died. and *WHAM* Zell died. i only had Quistis fighting her ass off. i killed Fujin just barely with only 129 HP. and Raijin said that he doesn't hit girls and i started yelling WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I slowly beat him to nothing.

sorry, i just finished the original metroid and i was thinking of that. even though u can still freeze those little cheerio things, when theres other metroids yer trying to destroy, and mother brain, they become a hassle. Yes, i know i have wierd comparisons.

The Metroids in Super Metroid require a charged shot, so be quick about charging the gun of hers! Keep the pace with charged shots and those obstacles
will be less irritating. As for your first acquaintance with Mother Fu..I mean, Brain, use the super bomb (during morph) to destroy the small cannons. From there, MISSILES AWAY at Mother BRAIN until you crack her shield and take HER down. There's more, but I won't tell all unless you want me to...? :wink:

[professor_scissors]

Try Zero Mission's Mother Brain on a low-percent run. That's just not right.

Uh Uh !?! My momma taught me not to pick a fight I can't win! And my sensei taught me to always enter the arena when readily prepared. Low-percentage my arse! :?

I've already beaten Super Metroid, but i wouldnt mind hearing more ways to beat it that I never thought of.

Well then there's really no point in telling you now is there? :) Congratulations! Guess you can just sit back and enjoy a nice bowl of "Horrible Frozen Cheerios" now. :D

Oh but there has been an on-line rave about speed-runs through Super Metroid. How fast can YOU beat it?

[Raenok]

Me? Easy. Hilgigars, Final Fantasy 9. My lord, he beat me EVERY FLIPPIN' TIME!!!! Then someone showed me the magical little tactic called "move mages to the back, and warriors to the front". Easy victory. But then, I lost my save file, and I have to start it AAAAALLLLLLLLL over again. Crap. And.....My sensei is right: "Never go into battle, unless you know the enemy, know it's weakness, and are fully prepared for it."

[SLyGeN]

of course theres no point in telling me any more, but its still interesting.

i wonder how frozen cheerios would taste...

and i dont care about how fast i beat it, getting the least clothed photo without any cheats or emulated save states is damn near impossible. i just want to find everything. though Super Metroid is like the original, it doesnt have photos yet... oh well i still couldnt care less about my time :roll:

[Maruku]

i would have to say just about every boss on Ikaruga.

One in specific would be the final boss and the boss of the 4th level.

Another really hard boss would have to be Dracula from the original Castlevania on the NES. Man he was insane.

another one was Mike Tyson on Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, tough stuff, but after memorizing the code to access his stage, then you kind of figure it all out hehe.

Another one was the blob guy in the very original Mega Man on the NES. without sliding and all your fancy moves, it becomes increasingly difficult.

The third time I beat the game (back in god knows when), I did it in just over 2 hours with something like a 90% collection rating without breaking a sweat, so I can only imagine there are some pretty absurdly fast times out there :)

If you still have the game AND the save file of where you left off, I strongly suggest you take a picture and send it in! If however, someone has beaten it in UNDER 2 hours, then I'm sorry. I haven't heard of a quicker record yet, but I can beat it in under 3:30. And yes, Samus looks GOOD !

You thought Dracula was tough ?!? Grim Reaper, somewhat without the holy cross, but DRACULA ?!? My friend! Just give that idiot something to drink! :wink:

[Maruku]

well if i could give him something to drink then i would have! All he was interested in was showing me his fiery balls.

[SLyGeN]

pretty much any boss on an NES is hard for me due to poor controls, movement, and such. Luckily after a while you find little tricks here and there to help you win.

HOLY WATER !!!!!

NOW GO DROWN HIS PUNK-A$$ !!!!

...AND WHILE YOUR AT IT, GIVE HIM A FEW LASHES FOR ME !!!!

[meatrace]

the final boss in Silent Bomber is really really tough as FUCK.
anyone who hasn't played this game really ought to seek it out, its so freakin' classic. best action/shooter game on the ps1, hands down!

If I were a "Boss" in ANY game, I'd be the HARDEST,
PERIOD !!! :twisted:

This site (http://www.metroid2002.com/home.html) has a video of someone beating the game in 38 minutes on the game clock.

First time fighting Death in Lament of Innocence was pretty bad, wasn't even expecting the fight, so I used everything up fighting Walter. So with sub weapons useless against Death as well, he pretty much kicked my ass.

But as usuall, I got to the frigate before I had the gravity suit and had to go back up and get it and then back down.


Suffice to say, I rarelly get good times at games.

That's long for you? I'm at almost 19 hours, and I'm not even at 90% completion yet.

[The Author]

First run got me 20 something hours, 80%.

First run on hard 12 hours 88%

I'm going for 100% in regular.

[xSR388x]

I've actually been having to replay through it. Damn insufficient memory card space...haha, I transfored my game over to my brother's card, because I had no room left on mine to play some other game and he erased it.

I haven't had a chance to play it on Hard Mode. I need to work on that sometime.

[The Author]

Hard mode makes regular easy.

Oh no, five beetles at attacking.

"hits A"

...

Err... 4... no wait 3... err 2...

Oooh look at the little critter, so cute... I wont kill it.


For god's sake, the chozo ghosts used to be chalenging.

I have to act stupid for them to be dangerous.

Hard mode made me a great player.

[xSR388x]

Heh, yeah I'll have to admit that on regular, Metroid Prime was fairly easy. I mean, compared to Super Metroid, and below, where you had NO FREAKIN IDEA where to go, and you had to figure it out yourself. Now that...that is hard. Haha.

[Ghost of ???]

Bowser in Tetris Attack, on the hardest mode

I wonder what your highest speed rank is in
Vs. Mode? By the way, even if you beat Bowser, there's still yet another difficulty level (Very Hard) to play. Also, my mother plays Tetris Attack ALL THE TIME ! She can beat Bowser on Hard (word to my moms!). She's beaten me a few times, and I can beat the Very Hard level ! Take advice from me, the CPU is at its best, almost better than any human can possibly be! But if I could beat it, then so can you. Just practice!

[professor_scissors]

I can beat the Tetris Attack V.Hard computer... relatively consistently. It usually takes me a few tries to beat Kamek/Bowser, but I can do it.

maybe you kids should stop bitching about the hard bosses and go and get better at the game. Something is only hard if you want it to be. If your a true gamer no game is truly that hard unless it is a glitch or something

This thread is two years old. Really, it's just people pointing out boss fights and whatnot that they felt were hard. Doesn't mean they've given up or resorted to cheating to do it. If nothing was hard, stuff wouldn't be that fun.

Back in the day, the Metroid Queen from Metroid 2 was a really tough battle. Quite honestly, very few Metroid bosses have been as hard as that one, most them being in Fusion (god damned spider-thing).

Sonic Heroes comes to mind. Still though, people here are sharing about their toughest challenges and boss fights. Anythings tough the first time you encounter. But after a few (or more) tries you learn how to overcome your obstacles. We're just talking about our "obsolete" challenges. Right now, my obstacle is trying to figure out what you're doing here?!?

[mechwarriorjaz]

Has anyone else here gotten to the end of Gradius 3 (SNES)? Holy crap, I wouldn't have gotten that far without the rewind key on ZSNES, but damn! You beat 1 boss, you think you're good to go. Another comes up, and you're like, okay, a double boss. A third pops up, and you get suspicious. Finally, boss four shows up, and you just... just burst into flames. Or tears. Whatever suits you best.

I loved those games. Gradius and R-type are way up there in the gameplay scale. Gradius 3, just keep steady and avoid the obvious hazards. Yeah, multiple bosses can be a trip, but if you feel you might lose control on ANY shooter, pause! Take some deep breaths and relax, until you're ready to continue. Never play games without breaks!

Okay, I have to know, can you really get swallowed by the queen ? I usually killed her with the "Shoot in the mouth to freeze and then cream her" tactic.
