Bizarrely Easy Boss Fights

[BishopofAges]

I don't think that was a mistake considering that you can do that to basically every undead boss in every FF game ever.

Well mistake or not, it was stupidly easy. You'd think they would take that out some time soon because of how the cinematic scenes make it seem like the battle will take forever and all of my cunning but then *poof*phoenix down Boss: "ARRGH~"

In a very recent case, The Warrior of Borderlands 2. The battle is massive and he even has the minions on the ground attacking you, and yet I was playing solo and didn't go down once during that battle, even having died so many times in the area leading up to it (I suck at this game) and dying once against Handsome Jack.

Does anyone remember how easy the final boss in Fable 2 was? I shot him in the foot and he died.

Carnage boss fight in Spiderman on PS1. All you need to do is keep hitting him with impact webbing and he can't even hit you. You were supposed to hit him into the bubble thing in the middle of the room over and over again but that wasn't as fast.

Barbarossa from Suikoden I.

Many other Suikoden fans talk about how easy they had it against other final bosses in the Suikoden series, from 2 up to 5. While there was a bit of a challenge for hte Suik2, 3, and 5 final bosses, the Suik4 boss was boringly easy, but I don't hear anyone mention just how little the final boss of Suik1 was. Not only could I do ridiculous amounts of damage against him, but all he could do was scratch me. What probably broke the game was McDohl's Soul Eater Rune. Or Hellion's Mother Earth Rune.

Jack of blades, Fable 1.

Spoiler: Borderlands 1 spoiler

End boss for Borderlands.

Every boss after the first one in Too Human. I didn't do the first one properly, I didn't blow up the barrels, I just shot it with my pistols and dodged it for about 3 hours IRL. Everything seemed mundane after that.

The Warrior is hilariously easy. I spent half the day facing off against Saturn who was a hell of a bigger threat than the Warrior was at the end. Even the fight against Jack was easy. I didn't even die during the last two boss fights and only had to fight for my life once. Stupidly easy.

Playing Gunzerker so 2 sub machine guns for wrecking Jack and two Assualt rifles for taking down the Warrior.

 

[Shocksplicer]

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.

Okay, you clearly don't know what a McGuffin is, and the reason they're saying that is because Typhoon is ridiculously overpowered and makes every fight in the game easy.

The boss at the end of Cosmo Canyon in Final Fantasy VII.

X-Potion = Win.

 

[gideonkain]

Kefka from FF VI was unfortunately pretty easy. Especially after playing FF IV and fighting Zeromus about 20 times.

Though the difference is probably being under-leveled for Zeromus and overpowered for Kefka (X-Magic, X-Fight, Chainsaw, Bum Rush, Ultima Spell, etc.)

 

[LookingGlass]

I finished Dawn of War 2 the other day and after a few late game missions that turned out to be battles of perseverance against bosses with ridiculous amounts of health, the last boss went down in no more than 20 seconds. It was over before I'd even used everyone's special abilities.

I can't say I was too disappointed though. I was expecting something impossible that would result in some kind of rage quit.

 

[Astoria]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who found the end boss fight with Alduin disappointing.

Spoiler

I actually found it easier to kill him than the first dragon I came across on my own. I didn't even bother shooting him with arrows, I just let the old warriors do it for me while I waited for Dragonsrend to recharge. The fight with the two dragons and the priest to get into Sovengard was much harder.

 

[lunam-kardas]

The human reaper thingymajig from ME2.

Fights with Praetorians or Scions were hard as hell, but the much vaunted final boss? Piece of Pie.

Well to be fair it was a fetus, although yes, a grand boss fight that does not make.... I was hoping to take on the collector general myself...

The boss at the end of Cosmo Canyon in Final Fantasy VII.

X-Potion = Win.

Don't forget the tree of life boss in FFIX.... cast life or chuck some feathers from the general store at it and bam, no more boss.

SPEEEHSS MARIIINES! WAAAAAGH!!

Massive Spoilz Ahead Space Marine fans!

Spoiler

Yeah, so, in WH40k "Space Marine", you fight Orks (who can be pretty god damned tough) and then eventually Chaos Space Marines, who turn out to be hard as NAILS, just like they should be. They're regular Space Marines (walking man-tanks of righteous fury) infused with the nastiest daemonic shit the universe can pump into their veins.

So, the Chaos Warband is called the "Chosen of Nemeroth"... those who follow Lord Nemeroth, which tends to mean that if he's got a whole Chaos Warband following him, Nemeroth is gonna be a pretty bad ass dude who doesn't take shit from anyone. When you finally come to fight him it's a pretty cool looking show-down, but I think things start to go a bit wrong when you realise that for the first part of the battle he's just a glorified spawn point. When you fight the Ork Warboss earlier in the game, sure he's a cakewalk, but it's quite satisfying when he's smashing open walls to let his horde into the boss room, whilst you try to take him down, you've got his grunts nipping at your heels, he feels like a real boss, as in a leader.

Nemeroth? Like I said, he starts as a spawn point with some sort of Warp-shield around him. You kill his dudes in waves, a battle where you have to utilize all your skills and weapons, taking cover and taking pot-shots for some enemies, getting stuck in with your Close Combat Weapons for others. Then when you finally clear them out, what happens?

Nemeroth drops his guard and you get your chance! For a QUICK TIME EVENT. The longest Quick Time Event you've seen. Which literally culminates in PRESS X TO POP NEMEROTHS HEAD LIKE A GRAPE.

So lame, because as far as Lore is concerned, Nemeroth is rolling out in a full set of Daemonic "Terminator" Armor. Which should make him just about as hard to kill as The Governator himself, with the strength to crush you like a piece of paper if you get too close... But no, Captain Tit(us) is once again totally OP. Not because of his DIVINE FURY, or his impressive combat prowess, but because he's Captain Titus, an Ultramarine. A member of one of the most boring factions in Warhammer, always seemingly guaranteed to win, without having any kind of personality or losing any battle they ever fight. I mean, come on, right after killing Nemeroth, Titus sacrifices himself in a warp explosion the size of a football field and still survives without a scratch.

Total bullshit.

There's a mini boss in Borderlands 2 called 'Blue' who is one of these Crystel creatures with three legs. When he rose out the ground, he can tower above you and I went "Oh Shit" so I started gunzerking and dropped him in around 5 seconds. I even asked my brother over Xboxlive why that was so easy.

Salazar from Resident Evil 4.

Just buy a rocket launcher from the Merchant standing just outside, wait for Salazar to reveal himself, and then simply blow him away in one shot.

As a matter of fact, this is the only way I know how to beat him - I've never tried a different approach, because it involved getting grabbed by his tentacles and thrown down in the lower area which is crawling with those spider-y facehugger bastards.

He is actually a bit harder without the rocket launcher, but the strategy is still the same. Shoot the creature's eye until it's mouth opens, and shoot Salazar until the mouth closes. Avoid the tentacle attacks and repeat.

Last boss of Dead Island... after he zombifies. One hit with that knockbacky circlesaw firebat thing and he flew into the plane, and dead. Was CoOping with my best friend tho, so instead of disappointed we just had a massive laugh fit.
