Whats the toughest Boss battle you played ?

[Babe]

Whats the toughest Boss battle you played. You can name 3 games with no.1 being the toughest boss :).

My Pick :

3. Final Boss of Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil.
2. Vorsoth of Star Trek Voyager Elite Force I
3. Guardian of Doom3

[Iggy]

The only real tough boss-battle I had so far and also the only one I could not win so far is the ArchMage from Dungeon Siege 2.

I'm fighting him on the highest difficulty level and the dude just can't be beaten. He's abusing Agallan Obelisks placed around the battlefield to cast star-shaped like projectiles that can instanly kill my characters, whether I'm using cheats or not. I know I can prevent him using the obelisks by attacking them as soon as he casts his magic upon them but in this difficulty setting he does it so damn often there's just no point in fighting him.

[Phait]

Half-Life 1. I can never beat it, I know how but it's just absurd. Bosses are overused and cliched anyway.

[seregrail7]

The Omega Pirate in Metroid Prime, I never did beat him.

I almost did, I was about to fire off the last rocket & beam combo to finish him off, and a Space Pirate got me form behind. :(

The boss battles in Dead Rising have been very difficult, I can't actually beat the convicts. They're only hard because they take about 40 hand gun bullets to kill.

[Duoae]

3. Metroid Prime bosses, if you couldn't do it, you were never able to do it :)
2. Second to last level of FarCry on realistic mode
1. Last level of FarCry on realistic mode.... ;)

[Assault]

I can think of only two really hard boss battles that got me frustrated out of my mind. I think all boss battles should be though but also fun. There is a certain point where it gets frustrating, like dieing for the 50th time. SO Watch and learn, kids, this is how NOT to make a final boss:

2) Megaman X4 - Sigma
1) Megaman 7 - Dr. Wily

[jimbob]

a boss in the nintendo game tale spin, one in a construction area and he had this wreckingball, never did got past that one

[big fat lazy]

I could never beat Sigma on Megaman X or Megaman X4. I remember on X I got past his dog and when he jumped around with his lightsaber, but after that it's impossible. Same with X4, I got past his first or second form at most. Didn't play much of the other X games.
Any other MM games I could never even get to the boss, except MM2. In MM1 there's a big rock guy near the end of the game that shifts across the room and hits you everytime, I could NEVER beat that guy.

[hiob]

the Tower Colussus (last one) in Shadow of the Colossus. i needed 2 hrs to finally beat him.

[Vivi]

The boss battles in Dead Rising have been very difficult, I can't actually beat the convicts. They're only hard because they take about 40 hand gun bullets to kill.

There's a water fountain somewhere in the middle of the place where you talk to that Dr. guy, hiding in the bookstore, and the food court. There's an uzi in the water fountain. Grab that, go back through the food court to the outside field-area, kill the machine gun guy first, then the driver, then the convict with the baseball bat. You should have enough ammo to do this.

[Sang]

The final boss of Serious Sam 2 - Man I could never beat that one (at least not on the Serious skill setting)

[Denz]

What game is that please?


And i could never beat Frozen throne, too hard.

[seregrail7]

I think it's Warning Forever.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warning_Forever

[Micki!]

@seregrail7
I can tell you an easy way to kill the Omega Orate... :)

as soon as you're able to damage him, role into morphball mode, and use a powerbomb at him... it does massive damage... also, see if you can avoid the pirates with beam armor around you, just wait for the omage to make the ground attack, and they'll get damaged, and eventually die...
If you really want to get rid of surrounding pirates, i believe powerbombs will kill them... But really just use it if they get extremely annoying, or are flocking near around you

Just wait till you get to Meta-Ridley, and later the Metroid Prime.. :D

[Joe Siegler]

El Oscuro in Rise of the Triad; to beat the game properly, and not have the Earth explode. :)

Course I worked here and knew how to do it, but if i didn't, I probably would have been surprised at all the steps you had to take to do it.

[December Man]

And i could never beat Frozen throne, too hard.

If you think this is hard, don't even go close to Beyond the Dark Portal expansion for Warcraft II.

I was told this before, never tried it. I would have beaten him on my next go, I'd say, that was only my 4th. I was too pissed off and never went back to it though.

I somehow never had it explode regardless of the Larvae being killed or not. :D

Does Ruby or Emerald weapon count as a boss? (from FFVII)

[Joe Siegler]

You cheated then. :)

These two were insane but i could kill them. You need a special order and the right chars.

[Dukefrukem]

This is true... but they are still one of the hardest bosses I've ever had to battle... Think of how much preparation you need before you can even look at them.

When You finally beat Ruby Wepon, you get a Gold Chocobo to get Knights of the Round... Well I couldn't beat Ruby weapon without Knights of the Round... so I don't know how else anyone could have beat him.

[Scream]

http://members.aol.com/gallery7v/punch13.jpg

[Bludd]

Last level of FarCry.

You guys are doing it all backwards, and those guys are push overs.
1) Get a golden chocobo by breeding one (this requare hours of mini-games)
2) Get Knights of the Round, W Summon, Phenox, Mimic, Last Strike and master all of them.
3) Fight any of them. :)

Here is is how you would effectivly use these.
1) cast Haste on everyone.
2) someone cast Knights of the Round with W Summon (it casts it twice in one turn)
3) After that choose mimic with all other party members.
4) Repeat and re use and you can't lose, even if any them use a move to kill you in one hit, because you mastered phenex and last strike, so when you run out of HP if they are linked you charactor will auto cast life 3 on himself.

[Assault]

I could never beat Sigma on Megaman X or Megaman X4. I remember on X I got past his dog and when he jumped around with his lightsaber, but after that it's impossible. Same with X4, I got past his first or second form at most. Didn't play much of the other X games.

The Sigma in X4 took me longer to beat than the whole game itself. Wily from MM7 was just ridiculous, I don't know how long it took me, but I could probably have gone through Megaman 1-6 and still it took me longer. I remember forgetting about it and every few days trying all over again. What a stupid boss. I don’t play Megaman games anymore because of bosses like these.

[FrozeN91]

Doom 3 - expansion... stupid firebat o.O

[Drazula]

It's gotta be the final boss in HL2... I almost had to open my eyes! :doh: :p

j/k

The Quake 4 boss was pretty hard. Mostly because of all his minions. And yes, the final boss in Doom 3:ROE was tough too.

But I think Dr. Kreiger in Far-Cry was the most rewarding to defeat. I didn't find defeating him difficult, but so many people on the net complained he was too tough, that it made me feel like I hit on the perfect solution. :)

[Berntsen]

The NME of ROTT is quite though, really a contrast to Darian and Krist, who were easy as hell to defeat.

[ZuljinRaynor]

1. NME (damn him).
2. Oscuro
3. Sigma - X1 and X3.

[Destroyer]

The boss in Act II of sonic & knuckles playing as knuckles.

[Foxy]

Loads of Claw bosses. One of the few problems with Claw is that it became insanely hard later on. Even with invincibility they're still damn hard because you still have to do all the perfect timing and jumps, and you still get shocked midair if you're hit despite being invinicible. (This means death.) I managed to beat the final boss with invincibility after a supreme effort, taking a foodbreak at the end of each small stage to calm myself down. One slight mistake and the whole thing has to be redone from the start. Owieee. The ones leading up to him are seriously hard aswell. There's a squid boss that requires repeatedly making a jump that's so hard it isn't funny. He's lashing out at you all the time obviously, which is lethal unless you have some ammo to stun him for a few seconds.

[Yenji]

I can only think of two

1) Zophar from Lunar 2. It took me something like two hours to beat him... and that was one continuous battle. Insanely hard

2) Shin Akuma from street fighter Alpha 2 and 3. Dear god

[Iggy]

But I think Dr. Kreiger in Far-Cry was the most rewarding to defeat. I didn't find defeating him difficult, but so many people on the net complained he was too tough, that it made me feel like I hit on the perfect solution. :)
He barely opposed me when I run up to him and shot an ammoclip empty on him. He was dead within 20 seconds.

QFTT (Quoted for total truth).

[big fat lazy]

Dr. Kreiger from Far Cry is easy if you know his weak spot.

[Hudson]

Lavos from Chono Trigger

[qwerty]

Kintaro in MK2

I have never beat him :(

[The Deadsider]

I'll just post the two that are freshest in my mind.

ShadowMan: Jack II. The other bosses were almost a peice of cake and I wasn't expecting Jack to be so damn different from them. Rather than charging you like all the others did, Jack would attack and then leap to the ceiling and run away. And it was hard to tell where he was, even if you had the flashlight by then. (The ceiling was so damn dark)

Of course, I learned to use the voodoo torch weapon, but even then, he still had a habbit of jumping down behind you.

SHadowMan: Legion. I still haven't found a god stratagy for the last boss fight. For his size, he's really hard to hit and can take one hell of a beating while dishing out a good amount himself. No to mention the timeframe in which you have to shoot him with the shadow gun is a second or so.

I'll have to get back to you with a third boss...

[dudetheman19]

FarCry, had to find a corner where I could shoot at it's knees :) Played on second hardest :)

[Phayzon]

1. Metroid Prime, from, err... Metroid Prime
2. Dark Samus 5, M. Prime 2. Not really that hard, but the timelimit always got me
3.Uh... not sure, gotta think. The end of Zen Dynamics was pretty hard.

[jimbob]

Kintaro in MK2

I have never beat him :(

pah, Motaro from MK3 is truly unfair ( arcade ) kintaro is doable with Sub Zero and a pint of luck.

[Tang Lung]

Kingdom Hearts with Sephiroth was pretty tough.
Solidus at the very end of MGS2 was annoying.

And that's all I can think of atm.

[Damien_Azreal]

The final boss of Serious Sam 2 - Man I could never beat that one (at least not on the Serious skill setting)

You mean... the Mental institute? If you want a tip, I'd be gald to give you a hand. :) Just PM me. I've beaten that little :p bastard on every skill but Serious.

I have to agree with Joe. El Oscuro kindof had me stumped for a while... then I beat him by accident. :p I just started running around him and ignoring him... suddenly, he just fell over. Then I had to kill his little babies.

[avatar_58]

Lavos from Chono Trigger

Maybe I play the game too much, but I can kill that thing with relative ease :D Just need to know what to use and where, but then again I've done it with every combo of characters....including just Marle and Crono to get the alternate ending.

[d3ad connection]

The Icon of Sin from DOOM II, there were a lot of demons attacking me, I died about 20 times before finally killing it.

[Imfamous]

Alma in Ninja Gaident. By far the hardest boss I've ever fought in a game.

[Zztx]

Alma in Ninja Gaident. By far the hardest boss I've ever fought in a game.
I can top that.

Alma in Ninja Gaiden Black. :p

One seriously tough bitch. And the camera doesn't help much, either.

Final boss (I think) of Kingpin.

The Kingpin's girl friend... what a bitch.

[Hudson]

It's been years since I played it, however from ten years ago.. I remember it being really hard ;)

[Water12356]

Tekken 5's final boss (I forget his name, let alone spell it. lol) is a total pain in the arse to fight. Hes got a crap load of cheap and powerfull atacks.

Alastor from Painkiller is fairly tough, those falls hurt like a mother, and his health recharging is anoying. It does get easier once you know how to avoid the fall damage.

[Piano Man]

I could never beat the final boss in the game South Park for Nintendo 64.... I never have beaten him to this day, and I still can't - even if I cheat.... He just keeps re-charging.

[Assault]

Was Lavos that big ball in the middle of the planet? Or the final floating-boss-thingy?

Also, what alternate ending?

[avatar_58]

Was Lavos that big ball in the middle of the planet? Or the final floating-boss-thingy?

Lavos is the giant Spikey ball creature yes, but the insides (form 2 and 3) are the tougher battles. However the third form is easily beaten, you take out the right bit, then the middle form and then focus everything on the far left bit (thats the main piece, it dies and you win).

Also the game has over a dozen or so endings, all depending on how and when you approach Lavos, but most are joke endings that you get with New Game +.

http://tekken.gry-online.pl/tekken5/jinpachi.gif

Also, another boss I remember being a bitch to beat, Duriel from Diablo 2, at the end of Act 2 IIRC. You had to fight him in this really enclosed space and he was faster than you, he also had a freeze spell which stopped you from moving at a normal pace.

[hiob]

the last Bossfight in Onimusha 1, I was killed thousands of times and it took me a day till I defeated him, can´t say the game was worth it.

[Chip]

1. Ruby on FF7 (never defeated it also when it stuck its hands in the ground - the game would crash followed by a windows XP error message)
2. Metroid prime's final boss and metroid prime 2's final boss (I never beat them on hard mode - but I did beat them on normal)
3. ..........I can't think of a third so I'll just say "Speed ball boss on Metroid prime 2" - that was a right bastard to beat on hard mode.

[gt1750]

Kintaro in MK2

I have never beat him :(

I finished MK2 (PC) with every character. You just have to use jump+low kick. I think Shao Kahn was harder, because this didn't work on him very well.

My toughest boss battle would be the fight at the end of Russia from Tomb Raider:Legend. I hated swinging those big balls while the indestructible fiery beast still attacked me. Very annoying, I almost lost my nerves. At least there was satisfaction from slaying a similar creature with sword at the very end of the game.

[hiob]

God of War, not really a Boss fight, but where you have to fight hundreds of Kratos-clones while protecting you´re family, this took me quite some time on hard-difficulty

[Kit]

C&C Red Alert 2: The final battle with Yuri.

The level starts out really slow then 'surprise!' thousands upon thousands of units simultaneously attack. You can't even beat the level if you don't know you're going to be bombarded from the start.

[Xerxes]

Overmind in Starcraft: Brood War(your last encounter with him)...

That'd be a late level in the Zerg campaign.

[Locnor]

Vorsoth of Star Trek Voyager Elite Force I....was just stupid hard..I hated it....

C&C Red Alert 2: The final battle with Yuri.

Wasn't the trick to build a Nuclear Missle Silo and nuke the Kremlin? I remember playing that mission and there was an answer to those hordes Yuri sends to you. I can't really recall how but a couple of Kirov's in the right place with some Apocalypse tanks did the trick real good.

[Dukefrukem]

it was still hard... look at all the steps you just named

[Kit]

I can't really recall how but a couple of Kirov's in the right place with some Apocalypse tanks did the trick real good.

That's the one.

You had to constantly bomb a particular part of the map until your silo was up and running, then counter Yuri’s Kirov attack with flak cannons.

It was relentless.

[Malgon]

3. Shodan (System Shock 2) - Simply because it was so frustraing to disarm her protections in order to combat her. Had a bit of trouble, but managed to kick her ass eventually.

2 is a tie:

Kintaro (MK2 PC) - Just so f*cking insanely hard to beat, as his strength and speed was just impossibly high. I did end up defeating him, if only just. :o

Motaro (MK3 SNES) - A friend and I ended up almost having a heart attack after repeated rounds of 30 credits just against this one boss. Made my friend yell at the TV, threatening to kick Motaro's if he'd come out of the game. :tinyted:

1. The King (Streetrod 2) - Not a boss battle as such, but still the hardest competition I've ever encountered. I went psyhco every night for a week, smashing everything in reach on my table while yelling new profanities at the screen. Finally kicked his ass and never touched the game since. :insomnia:

[SyntaxN]

AFAIR all the tactics I tried failed...until I started to build Kirovs only and sent them on a direct way to the Kreml.

[souleliminator]

the last Bossfight in Onimusha 1, I was killed thousands of times and it took me a day till I defeated him, can´t say the game was worth it.

if you have the secret weapon, it's really easy :D

[Ecmaster76]

Too many of the above are true but I'll add one of my own.

Jet Force Gemini (N64)- Fun game but the boss made me say "Does anyone in Japan ever playtest?" and many many many four letter words. I've beat the game once.

Just think of playing jump rope but dieing instead of scraping your knees.

[Reaper]

The Many - System Shock 2
Right before you "digitize".

[Kalki]

Also, another boss I remember being a bitch to beat, Duriel from Diablo 2, at the end of Act 2 IIRC. You had to fight him in this really enclosed space and he was faster than you, he also had a freeze spell which stopped you from moving at a normal pace.

Haha, I just got through that part. It was crazy. My sorceress had to respawn about a dozen times, and I ran shiver armour and blaze each time before entering the chamber and using a glacier comet (cold) attack to slow it down, while constantly rejuvenating. Even so it took ages and I kept whittling it's health down bit by bit. It's the only way. A good idea is to go up to the tyriel passage entrance and leave it up there(er.. die). On respawning, you can hopefully do area attacks on that location from a distance although I didn't have any spells to do that yet. I'm now on Act 3, wish me luck! :p

[Ecmaster76]

Actually I think Duriel was designed as a hint to say 'Quit now before its too late'. They should have made him harder.

[Dopefish7590]

stupid last boss of an old nes game called XEXYZ

[Dopefish7590]

The Icon of Sin from DOOM II, there were a lot of demons attacking me, I died about 20 times before finally killing it.

1. get all wepons
2. get invincibility
3. hit swithch to lower pad
4. if you have good aim (I used zdoom so I had mouse aiming) fire one bfg9000 shot in the hole
5. enjoy

My girlfriend is like the boss of Monopoly in our circle of friends. Last night we played an in depth game and I came oh so close to winning, but she just had a string of good luck with where my piece landed.

The final boss of Serious Sam 2 - Man I could never beat that one (at least not on the Serious skill setting)
oh that was fun. i had posted a demo on serious zone. easy as long as you don't get behind... :)

real easy if you keep a SD until the end. but those spiders are a beyatch...

[Kronx]

I'm not very good at most boss battles.

I remember having a tough time with the end of AD&D Pool of Radiance. Your party of 6 had to fight 10 level 10 fighters and a gold dragon. It was rough, but if you got lucky with charm person you did okay.

I think MMORPG bosses are probably the ones that seem hardest to me. WoW has some toughies. For example, there's one in Molten Core that has 4 priest buddies which will heal him. So you basically have to have each priest being fought in various locations while someone fights the boss. You kill bring each priest to the group to kill out of range of the other healers, then you have to kill the boss. It's just tough to coordinate 40 people, especially if you're not using voice chat.

There are plenty of encounters even tougher than that one. That's about halfway through Molten Core, and it's one of the last boss fights you can do without widespread fire resist gear. That's a lot of playtime to eventually conquer the entire dungeon.

[Telee]

Lord Vartonis on Star Wars Galaxies was very tough.

[Sang]

oh that was fun. i had posted a demo on serious zone. easy as long as you don't get behind... :)

Oh the level itself isn't too hard, it's just the actual bossfight. All those ships can f*ck me up pretty bad, and I'll be damned if I'll ever figure out how to avoid all those rocks. Is the trick to not pay attention to the boss but first focus on what he sends at you? But, he's only vulnerable when he sends out attackers so that can't be it.

[Damien_Azreal]

Or....


Save your last Serious Damage power up until the Institute starts to attack. It is possible to get through all the spiders without using both power ups.
Once the building starts to fight you grab the power up and attack. You can take it out in about 20 seconds. :p

I'm a cheap bastard to fight... but damn it's fun.

[Kien]

Kintaro in MK2

I have never beat him :(
Do some super cheap method like ranged special attacks all the time. I did with Barracka.

About bosses:
Painkiller 3:rd boss I think, the giant gargoyle. How are you sopposed to beat him without cheat or take my super tiersome 'cheat' method. I eman you ca be happy if you survive intill the one before the last floor but there is NO WAY you ca survive the fall to the last floor. At least not with 100 HP and around 50 armor. I know there is one super health on the previous floor but that is well needed whne you get it, and wont give enough. The tarrot card ulock mission is to beat him below 5 minutes. With my method it took 17...

[Jiminator]

...I'll be damned if I'll ever figure out how to avoid all those rocks...
I get directly in front almost under the ship when it is spitting rocks. you can shoot them down or dodge if you can't. the cannon balls are somewhat harder...

[MeatWagon]

I found the Final boss in blood 2 very hard to beat until I crouched behind a rock and popped up to shoot between his shots

[Boo Boo Juice]

Level 8 difficulty Shin Akuma... He can kill everyone.

First level, ignore him. Run around and collect all the ammo. Once every ammo box is picked up use the minigun and take him out.

Second level, you'll loose some health from teh fall but not much. Once again, ignore Alastor and run (bunny hop, you'll move faster) around the room and collect ammo, health, and armor.
Then use the shotgun be beat him down, it's actualy one of the best weapons for bosses.

Third level, same tactic.

Floor level, ignore him yet again. Go the outside circle were he can't get to and collect all health, armor and ammo you can. Bunny hoping while doing this will help greatly to save on time.
Once that's done, start shooting him with the minigun, using the right terrot card combiination here will make it much easier. ;)

Weapons reload 2x faster, and Weapons do 4x as much damage.
Make sure you have the terrot card to use them three times.

Once his health is all the way down, keep the minugun out and shoot the statues he get's his helath from. Continue until he's dead. :)

[Jiminator]

damn i loved painkiller. i hope they make a similar game soon. it had a lot of gaming elements that are missed....

First level, ignore him. Run around and collect all the ammo. Once every ammo box is picked up use the minigun and take him out.

Second level, you'll loose some health from teh fall but not much. Once again, ignore Alastor and run (bunny hop, you'll move faster) around the room and collect ammo, health, and armor.
Then use the shotgun be beat him down, it's actualy one of the best weapons for bosses.

Third level, same tactic.

Floor level, ignore him yet again. Go the outside circle were he can't get to and collect all health, armor and ammo you can. Bunny hoping while doing this will help greatly to save on time.
Once that's done, start shooting him with the minigun, using the right terrot card combiination here will make it much easier. ;)

Weapons reload 2x faster, and Weapons do 4x as much damage.
Make sure you have the terrot card to use them three times.

Once his health is all the way down, keep the minugun out and shoot the statues he get's his helath from. Continue until he's dead. :)

The things is that his fire breath is anavoidable and he crushes pillars which blocks your way all the time. There is no way to keep looking for all those pilar pieces all the time. After he spits fire he stomps on you so you loose aditianl health. Btw, the only useful cards I have against him is the faster/+50 base health/double damage. Also how much health and armor do you need to usrvive the last fall?

[jimbob]

Do some super cheap method like ranged special attacks all the time. I did with Barracka.
err... projectile attacks bounce off of motaro and return right to you. they somewhat lessened it in MK : Trilogy though as he was a playable character.

[Damien_Azreal]

It's called NecroVision and is set for a 2007 release. ;)

[Malgon]

The third boss in Painkiller was really frustrating due to the lack of health pickups, but I think D_A summed it up the best in making it to the bottom floor with enough health intact. :)

Eh, forget the ammo, useful only if you are doing the 5 star challenge. Silver replenish might help with that. the sure fire method is to have the 3x card use + 20 seconds to avoid all the damage. if you don't have those you can always go back later. for falling, if you are on the edge then you can land on an arch and then down to lessen damage. if alistair is stomping you, then you are in the wrong area, you need to be in the outside and shoot the statues from there.

[Steve]

Death Egg from Sonic 2. Man I had trouble killing it when I was a kid. As for todays bosses I can't say they are very hard.

[Steve]

That's true BUT use Barracka's scissor attack and you'll kill the bastard in no time. Same goes with kintaro.

[Talos]

Verdugo - Resident Evil 4

[Water12356]

Also about alastor...

You can use the iron will tarrot card to resist fall damage. Add in at least double haste, and 2-4X power/reload, and you are gona take a nice chuck out of his health with your health fully intact. =)

That's what I do.

[Fernito]

Hardest? D'Sparil, from Heretic, in the toughest difficulty :o

Easiest? Doom3's Cyberdemon... what a dissapointment :(

[Kien]

Motaro? Wasn't it about Kintaro?

[jimbob]

Motaro? Wasn't it about Kintaro?

it was? i must have misread it :o

kintaro is pretty easy anyway :)

[Sang]

Doom3's Cyberdemon... what a dissapointment :(

Man I gotta follow that thought - I don't think there's any easier bossfight I've played. Even killing Heinrich in RTCW was harder (but still easy).

[ZuljinRaynor]

Double-Gigante in RE4.
I only instakilled one of them, but the other one took forever to fall on his knees so I could cut the Plaga on him. Otherwsie... bosses are quite easy.

[Damien_Azreal]

^^^ :D Little trick.

Drop one into the lava for the instakill type thing, make sure you've got a rocket launcher with you... one shot and the other one is dead. :p

The rocket launcher is pretty much a one shot = kill weapon for bosses in RE4.

[Micki!]

Flash grenades are actually working quite well on them...flash them, then go nuts with the TMP or shotgun (or grenades if you want to) then when the plaga pops out, either get a good shot from some angle, or cut it to pieces...
Personally i didn't found it THAt hard... But it's a cool and intense fight... i like the environment there... :cool:

[ZuljinRaynor]

I used the RL on the dude you gotta get in the Liquid Nitrogen. :D Too easy.

[Micki!]

didn't get that guy the first time throuigh, but all the other times i owned him :D not with the rocket launcher though...
It's too damn expensive for me...
i'll wait till i can afford the "other version" which i unlocked :D then i'll play some more with it...

Btw, that "right hand" dude, seriously looks like a crossing of a Predator and Alien... lien tail, and body, and Predator mouth :o

[ZuljinRaynor]

Yeah he does. Also there is that free RPG-7 that they give you... you can't miss it really. It's a while back. Hopefully you didn't use it on the two blind guys. ;) You should save if for this guy really. Or just use the Broken Butterfly on him... which you can get for free also... just need to upgrade it.;)

[H.Smits]

Bebop (from Ninja Turtles: The Arcade game 2 , on NES) I hate that mutant
bestard so much! I can get irritated by just talking about him!

you can't really use normal/combo attacks on him, because he has this
freaking gun (so you will take damage if you walk up to him). And he has
this punch that does a lot of damage AND it throws you back to the other
side of the screen (so you got to walk up to him again).

So only air attacks are usefull. BUT that same punch can knock you out
of the air (and you can't really move away once you started an air attack).
Second, he has one last move; he runs up to you and just push/smash you
away. Which he does a lot when your in the air (and again you can't really
avoid getting hit once your in the air).


------------

And I hate Mr Bison from Street Fighter. Because he's quite strong and If you
lose, you need to start over the complete game. Lucky I'm playing it on a
arcade machine at work (so I can't throw my controller on the ground if I lose
and it doesn't cost me any quarters :p ).

[saturnicus]

3. Dr. Nefarious in R&C:UYA

2. Not technically a boss fight, but I consider it to be. The seemingly endless waves of bikers in Rise To Honor.

1. And the hardest was the final boss in 007: Everything or nothing. Not the boss so much as getting there.

[Iggy]

Not exactly the most difficult Boss-fight ever but the NecroGiant from Painkiller is given me a hard time.

He's using a tornado attack he didn't use on Insomnia level. I know that standing in one of the small houses on the graveyard keeps you from being damaged and sucked into the air but even then it's hard. His pesky minions keep bitching me.

To continue on Painkiller you have...
King Allastor from the add-on Battle out of Hell. I know how to beat him but even then it's pretty difficult.

[Damien_Azreal]

King Allaster was was horribly done... he looked so cool I was gearing up for a huge fight. And it turned out to be a poorly done puzzle boss. :rolleyes:

They, IMO, wasted such a beautifully designed character and level on a stupid puzzle fight. It would've been more fun to have given him a ton of health and a some really nice attacks.
I would've rather ran around fighting him and trying to stay alive instead of figuring out when do part B so i can then do part C and shoot target A. :doh:

[SonnyBonds]

One of the bosses in Ikaruga.. can't rememeber which one anymore, it's been quite a while... I remember there was one I really struggled with in that game though (well I struggled with many of them).

Agreed, I had to search for a FAQ on the internet to find out how to beat him. He certainly is wonderful designed.

Oh, anyone else noticed how he is displayed in the splashscreen right before you get to see the main menu of the game? (right uppercorner)

[Dead Meat]

The Nihilant from Half-Life was pretty tough.

[Blade Nightflame]

Right now, The Battlelord on Let's Rock difficulty. . With DNWMD. Darn was he a nutcase with those enemies. :o

[Boo Boo Juice]

I forgot to say that almost any boss in Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) is frustrating.

[Phait]

Final Rally School stage in Richard Burns Rally :tinyted:

[TBZ]

I know, not the hardest I'VE played, but still..

[SpinX]

that guy that had the plague in vampire bloodlines, that was one tough ****er :)

[Riddlewire]

Toughest Boss that I ever beat: Solus from Breakdown
Toughest Boss period (could never beat him): Adam Crowley from Nightmare Creatures. Must've been some kind of trick because I would fight this battle for hours and never win, and I refused to use a faq.

[wayskobfssae]

The flaming 'phoenix' creature near the end of Zelda II. Never could beat it. The thing rained so much fire down that I could find no way to dodge it.

A friend who claimed he beat it also decided, years later, to show everyone, and he plowed through the entire game in a couple of hours, but when he got there, he couldn't kill it either.

[IHerman]

Last boss in Bart Simpsons Escape from Camp Deadly on the Game Boy.

Even with a Game Genie and unlimited lives, I could not beat him. The game sucked anyway.

[006 3/4]

The Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2.

[Thief]

I can't believe no one has mentioned Ming Xiao from Vampire Bloodlines!

Is it even possible without high Ranged stats? That bitch can take a pounding, and her tentacles reach halfway across the screen. Then when she starts shitting out those babies that grow full size in 20 seconds, WOW! It's a good 15 minute fight at least.

Not the hardest, but a boss that made me swear to the point where the parents left the house until she was defeated.

Someone has to agree with me here...

[Batchelor]

The bosses that pissed me off the most (and from what ive read, also Po'ed a lot of others):

1. Nilanth - I found Half Life a breeze up to this point, even today when I get here I just stop playing. His teleportation attack is INSANELY annoying. I mean, its not enough that he's trying to kill me, but he also has to send me to a bunch of annoying jumping puzzle rooms! JUMPING PUZZLES SUCK!

2. That Omega Pirate, or whatever it was called from Metroid Prime - This SOB was the reason I stopped playing Metroid Prime, it wasn't HIM that was tough, it was the other damned pirates that attacked you. I hate all games that throw lesser enemies at you. In addition to worrying about the main boss, you also have to watch out for his pain-in-the-ass underlings.

3. That crater in Far Cry - Wow. Just wow. I drove myself insane playing this. I would manage to pick off those rocket wielding Big Boys, only to be minced at long range by one of those little bastards with the Silenced HK's. Took me close to 20 tries. Another gripe here : WTF at the ammo room before you enter the crater, I mean theres more crap there than you could even use, and it doesn't let you go back!

Just my 2 cents.

[LastBNLNinja]

The final dude in Titan Quest. I thought the game was broken or something and gave up. Tried again weeks later, took like one hour but I finally beat him.

[Dead Meat]

Diablo (the original) was pretty tough too.

[Balgias]

Bebop

And I hate Mr Bison from Street Fighter. Because he's quite strong and If you
lose, you need to start over the complete game. Lucky I'm playing it on a

I like that goofy grin of his soo much think I might just make it my new av, muahah.

Also why in the " hell " has nobody mention this particular devil ?

http://www.studiodink.com/Images/Anime%20Videogame/Vergil_2.jpg

[hiob]

Vergil was a pain in the ass yes, but I enjoyed that boss-fight. It was very satisfying when you finally defeated him.
DMC 3 rocks. :cool:

[Balgias]

Took me several hours to beat vergil :brickwall:

Just when I thought I had him at 30% hp he starts pulling off some -wtfohshitimdead- specials, But it is and always will be my favorite boss to fight against in any game.

[Twin]

final boss on mdk 2... still havn't completed it, and don't think i ever will :p

[Steve]

edit: I posted the same damn thing as I posted last year :D

[WestSeven]

I normally hate boss fights but I really enjoyed the ones in Painkiller. I guess they weren't that hard once you worked out what you were doing though.

I HATE the swamp boss. Annoyed the hell out of me.

[Malgon]

I haven't beat the final boss in Painkiller, even after reading a FAQ. It doesn't make much sense to me. Haven't touched it since.

Just shoot the meteorites into his face. Seem to work fine for me :)

[Malgon]

I'm not interested in playing it ever again. It wasn't my cup of tea in the end.

I didn't like Painkiller very much. Everything seemed right - the graphics, the gameplay ... but something didn't feel quite right, and I don't know what ...

[Steve]

I rather enjoyed the game. Good if you want a quick and easy game to play when you are pressed for time :)

[Malgon]

I found that I enjoyed Serious Sam's atmosphere (talking from a demo POV here), which is slightly different in the way it does things from Painkiller.

I didn't understand the last part of the sentence. Serius Sam came out before Painkiller...

[Malgon]

I meant that if I had to choose between a straight up shooter I'd prefer to play Serious Sam (even if I've only played the demo, compared to the full version of Painkiller). Hope that clears it up. :)

Ah, my bad. I really need some caffeine :)

[Malgon]

Hehe, I don't need caffeine, considering I'm going to hit the hay soon. :)

[hiob]

Well guess what, I tried to beat the swamp boss in Painkiller yesterday. Well I know what I have to do, I just am not able to survive long enough to defeat him. :(
Usually I like puzzle bosses, but they absolutely don't fit in Painkiller, I want to shoot millions of bullets between his legs, like I did with the first boss. :p

[Denz]

I know, not the hardest I'VE played, but still..

"Chuck Norris could beat that boss with his eyes closed."

I killed all the rocket guys before I left the room. If I remember, I pushed a chair into the doorway. It didn't keep the door from closing behind me, but it kept the door open when it was in front of me, making it easier to kill the rocket guys.

But yeah, that was a good one!

[Orochi Avlis]

Most SNK fighting game bosses.

[Hyperactive Slob]

You should have bought the the flamethrower it requires no ranged stats and it deals aggravated damage.
The hardest boss for me has be the last one in Far Cry.

[Denz]

It's not a boss, but it's Dawn of Victory in stepmania...

[LastBNLNinja]

Cerberus from Titan Quest: Immortal Throne on Epic difficulty... WTF??? I´m at a loss :(

[superevilcube]

Ultima Weapon from Final Fantasy VII.

Hardest. Boss. Ever. His speed is so incredibley fast, and his Pillar of Light instantly kills a party member. So, he can get two Pillar of Lights off before I can even act. Ergo, I'm usually dead with 30 seconds.

[Denz]

I managed to finish it with some walkthrough. Really hard boss.

[SyntaxN]

Pretty much every Boss battle in Ninja Gaiden.

[Telee]

The final boss from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.

It's damned hard since you have to face Fawful, then Cackletta, then another form of Cackletta... Gah. Not to mention both brothers start with 1 HP on the second part so you have to waste two super mushrooms.
