Bizarrely Easy Boss Fights

[madwarper]

I don't understand why people were saying that the OP's boss fight was only easy since he used a maguffin and he should try it without the maguffin... That's like saying, "Brock was only an easy fight if you choose Bulbasaur or Squirtle, you should have picked Charmander."

OT: Majora's Mask. While there was some difficulty in collecting every mask and the 4 sub-dungeons on the moon could be a bit annoying, once you donned the Fierce Deity's mask the final boss was cakewalk.

Final boss of Demon Souls, The True King (don't remember his name) was hilariously easy considering how hard the actual game is.

I felt that way about most of the boss battles in Demon's Souls. Phalanx was far easier than getting to him the first time was. Tower Knight was pretty easy. The spider boss in the mines is stupidly easy if you have a bow, and so on. Only maybe 2-3 bosses in that game gave me any trouble.

Probably the final boss from the first Borderlands. The game's difficulty scaled terribly, with it being impossible in the beginning but a cakewalk in the end. I blame gear progression.
I pretty much just stood still and fired my combat rifle into it's mouth, and killed in two clips, taking little damage.

Well, the final boss fight in Skyrim, considering that simple bandits we're a bigger threat I don't see why people was afraid of that dragon to begin with. Fat chance that dragons would rule the world...

That is actually one of my biggest criticisms of Skyrim. People often say that if you can't beat certain enemies then it's not the games fault it's yours, but the fact that Bandit Chief's and Trolls were actually more of a threat than Dragons is totally ridiculous.

The final Boss of Ninja Gaiden,you figure that he kicked your ass so handly erly in the game that this is going to be a nasty fight. Nope, just spam flying sparrow and the dude didn't know what hit him.


Elecman in Dr.Wily's revenge,hes a complete bastard even with cutman's power in the orginal but here 3 blades and he's out.

Most of the full moon bosses in Persona 3,maybe it's because most of the floor bosses were horrible things that these seemed easy by comparison.

Alduin from Skyrim, i mean fighting him on the Throat of the World was an alright boss fight, then after he fled to Sovngarde to restore his power by eating souls, I was then expecting a tough,good final battle, only for me to be disappointed as I took him down in 5 minutes. I had my hopes high for a epic final battle against Alduin, the World Eater, the Nordic God of Destruction, I mean talk about anticlimatic

I agree with this. Alduin should have at least had more health than he did, although having killed so many dragons it would just have been more of the same anyway.

This was probably my own fault since my character was level 20, had Grim Reaper's Sprint and a firelance, but Colonel Autumn in Faalout 3 was useless. As soon as the fight started, I targeted his two bodyguards. Two shots each, and they were both turned to flaming piles of ash before they even managed to spin up their laser gatlings (although the second guy might have managed to get off one or two wild rounds, I forget) and then turned to Colonel Autumn, only to find that my Brotherhood of Steel companion had already slotted him in the couple of seconds that I was fighting his bodyguards for.

The boss at the end of Darksiders II was so easy I thought it was a set-up for something bigger from him. Nope, he stayed dead.

Hey, at least you got 5 minutes of fun out of him! By the time I got to that part of the game, I had built up my dual weapons so much that once he landed on the ground in front of me, it was over. Literally the length of time to pull my triggers a few times. Dragonborn gets pretty overpowered at his endgame.

Also, the Old-god Dragon thing from Dragon Age: Origins that you fight as the end boss. Thanks to a problem with level-scaling, the thing is like 4 levels lower than you when you fight it - this makes it's 'powerful' attacks easy to shrug off, and it takes metric-fucktons of damage from your attacks. The only way I found it challenging was when I skipped most of the side quests (and chunks of the main quest), so that I was severely under-leveled when I finally got to him. And even then the biggest threat on the field were the adds he kept spawning in.

I remember the Archdemon being kind of difficult the first time I played Dragon Age. He would always fly to where only my 2 characters with ranged weapons could hit him, and he would spawn so many darkspawn. I felt so accomplished when I beat him with my last character alive (Leliana was amazing to me after that). Then the ending nearly made me start bawling (romanced King Alistair but refused Morrigan's offer, so sad ). Now I really want to play that game again!

OT: I had this the first time I ever got to The Chest in The Binding of Isaac. I got really lucky with Cain when I got the D20, Nun's Habit, Mom's Pearl, and a dollar. I found an arcade and spent like 10 minutes rerolling everything I won. I'm sure I had at least 50 spirit hearts by the end of that. I thought The Chest and Blue Baby were so easy. Now, however, he's a pain if I even get to him.

Bowser. Any Mario Game.

EXCEPT Mario 64.

And maybe Super Mario Bros. Wii. Seriously, have you seen that final boss fight? There's no way you can win that with 4 people.

The second time you play through the Undead Asylum in Dark Souls. Asylum demon is easy as hell then.

The tutorial boss? Yeah... He's easy, I think most bosses on NG+ would be easy apart from Smough and Ornstein and the Four Kings. I still have 6 bosses to go on my first playthrough, but those are the only ones to give me serious trouble. We'll see how Nito, Priscilla, Seath, Gwyndolin, Gwyn, and Bed of Chaos treat me.

Also on a Dark Souls note: Pinwheel, the first boss in the Catacombs. I three shot him... He didn't even get one attack off. And... Moonlight Butterfly. But that's hardly a boss encounter.

 

[MiskWisk]

343 Guilty Spark. As Yahtzee points out, the fight is insultingly easy. I mean, I died a few times because I fell off on my first run through but that wasn't his fault. Even after ramping up to legendary, I found he couldn't actually kill you as his attack regularly misses if you stand still. Then you get the laser and just stand still shooting him till he goes bang.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

Satan from Castlevania Lords of Shadow, they give you unlimited magic and make war could have been an epic.boss fight the easiest part of the game by far.

The last encounter with Seymour in FFX. Boss battles in FFX were incredible tactical feats, requiring incredibly precise tactics and use of special statuses, up to the point where one of the battles before this Seymour fight involved deliberately letting your party be zombified on one turn to avoid an instant death attack the next, curing the status and healing up as much as possible in one turn and then going zombie again etc...

Or you could just use Yojimbo.

OT: Any fight in FF VIII after you get Aura and Meltdown and Pulse Ammo, any fight in FF X after you get Yojimbo and finally the Fable 2 "final boss".

You had enough money to sustain Yojimbo? You can blow your entire purse on him and he still might not do something cool

 

[KiloFox]

General Scar I think is his name from Starfox Adventures. He had such a buildup, and then just gave up like that.

DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT YOU BEAT ME TO IT!

it was General Scales BTW

 

[Haunted Serenity]

The end boss for Act 1 Diablo 3. I saw his attacks coming from a mile away, the arena gives you to healing wells if things go wrong and he is so slow; my fat ass barbarian could just hop out of the way and keep hitting him in the face. I was expecting something a little more

 

[toadking07]

I think a lot of games have boss that aren't on par with the course. I've played games where a boss is really easy, to the point that a mini boss earlier was harder than him, and I've played games where a lower boss is 10x harder than the final one! Sometimes it just depends on how you sink your stats, maybe you didn't grab the right weapon for the job, or maybe you found a glitch that made things easier.

Yojimbo training get overdrive, Yuna get overdrive 2 chances to instant kill anything and it wasn't that expensive.
