[All Time Hardest Boss]

Sephiroth in FFVII has variable hit points; a formula is used to calculate how much HP he has. He has no fewer than 80,000 in any case. A few additions and subtractions are done for various quest items, but they're negligible; the end result of that is multiplied by your number of Level 99 characters. If everyone's at level 99, Sephiroth will have over 5,000,000 HP; Ruby and Emerald Weapon have 1,000,000. Of course, by that time most of your characters will have their Magic stat maxed, meaning KOTR will do like 150,000 damage. W-Summoning and Mimicking it is still the best way to whip his ass. I've never personally played Kingdom Hearts; I find it impossible to treat the storyline of a game infested with Disney characters as anything approaching epic or insightful. But from what I've heard, Kurt Zisa and Sephiroth are EEEEBIL.

Some of the bosses in Kefka's Tower in FFVI were really hard; in fact, I found them to actually be harder than Kefka, because you have to divide all your good characters up. I only had one or two characters per party who could actually do something worthwhile, mostly in the interests of surviving. Inferno, the Dragons, and the Guardian were atrocious bitches, whereas in the final battle against Kefka I could pick all my best party members, so I had Terra, Celes, Gogo and Sabin with all their best skills (Ultima for Terra and Celes, X-Magic on Terra, Sabin's Bum Rush). Bye bye Kefka.

I've got to give props to Lavos for just being a prick. Even at level 99 he'll decimate you if you aren't careful. The Criosphinx in Chrono Cross was a bastard, too; I'm pretty sure he had more HP than the CC incarnation of Lavos. In Diablo II, Duriel's an ass the first time you meet him, and again in Hell. In the 1.10 patch, they introduced Uber Diablo; several of my friends died literally 20 times in a row trying to beat him. In the 1.11 patch they've added Lilith and Uber Duriel as well as Uber Diablo; I had enough problems with the Lord of Pain the first time around, but I mainly play Sorceresses so it evens out. Once someone gets all three of the body parts from all three uber-bosses, they can synthesize them in the Horadric Cube to open a portal to Tristram and fight all three Prime Evils at once. I'm not even going to try to imagine all the dead players.

I've heard evil stories about Draco'dur in World of Warcraft; two of my friends play it CONSTANTLY and are obsessed with it. They've related stories about how armies of forty max-level players have allied and tried to beat him and have all been killed. The Omega Pirate in Metroid Prime was pretty hard, as well as Meta Ridley and Metroid Prime; you run out of missiles awfully fast when fighting them.

Desann can also be a bastard in Jedi Outcast; in single player mode, you don't have Force Absorb...I wonder what the developers were smoking that led them to do that. He'll throw you around like a rag doll, especially on Jedi Master difficulty level.

I remember beating Shadow Link when I first played him. That was pretty hard.

The idea of the thread is to name who you believe is the all-time hardest boss, not to explain every boss you thought was difficult in detail.

[OCR01290 - DuckTales "Duck Blur"]

I've had this remix for a while... I stumbled upon it on another website. Probably vgmix.

This is my favorite remix of a DuckTales song. I frequently include it when I burn dance or workout CDs for myself. It's a great blend of nostalgia from the old NES days with a great techno beat. It's also got an upbeat, cheerful feel to it.

Anyway, keep up the great work.
