The absolute final Xemnas fight in Kingdom Hearts 2, when he's wearing black/white robes.
I had to pause and take a break after 30 minutes of trying. Came back, owned him.

the final boss in Prototype. the timer and stuff made me rather angry.... until i remembered you have a throwing arm like a roided up trebuchet and there are missiles and such lying all over the place....
My brother actually beat him the first time, then saw me lose when I fought him on my second playthrough. His response: "Oooooh. Now that cutscene after the fight makes so much more sense."Kopikatsu said:
Even easier: Be a Lancer and have Jump, plus the skills you listed (Yell, Auto potion). Cast Yell several times, then Jump. One hit, one kill. Velius shows up, but your speed is so high that you go first. Jump again, and because you're so fast, you come down right away. Again. One hit, one kill. No damage.Arsen said:
The first boss from Ninja Gaiden wet down like a punk once I figured out wall drop move. Also, Omega Weapon from Final Fantasy VIII, and Ruby and Emerald from VII. Once you figure out the tricks, they go down easy. The trick is building a party strong enough to stand up to them. My favorite: Cast Hades, then Knights of the Round on Ruby. Hades puts stop on him, so he can' counter with Ultima. Use Mime, and just keep the loop going. Never even gets in a hit.
Psycho Mantis. I wish Colonel would tell you that shit a little earlier before you get mindfucked into the stone age.
There has been several, but one recent one was in Portal 2 boss fight.
When you have to attach the first core, I, for some reason, thought I'd have to put it where the main core is, and wasted several attempts in that.
Also any battle with a time limit is going to make me panic anyway.
So I got to hear the Space Core being happy about SPACE!!! for many, many, aggravating attempts. So I very much came to hate the little bugger and wanted to kick his little metal butt straight to the moon.

In Assassin's creed 1 (yes, that game had Bosses, if you can believe it), there's this Templar at the very end who is an almighty (pun intended) ***** to fight. You literally have to have split second reflexes, otherwise you WILL lose atleast 3 blocks of life. Problem? You ALWAYS walk into the fight with TWO blocks.
So after dying 25 times trying to kill him, I just siad "Fuck it" and started Running round him in circle, slowly re-gen'ing 3 more life blocks, at which point I could afford a few more mistakes and proceeded to beat the God out of him. By the end, I still had Half a life left, though to be fair.
God, that game was HARD. Makes you wonder why they turned AC2 and Brotherhood into such Pussyfests....

Earthbound, Master Belch. I grinded forever trying to beat him before it finally clicked what I needed to do.....I one hit him after I broke his defense. (Later checked a walkthrough. "About now you should be around level 27." me: "....I'm level 38")
There've been several fights I was supposed to lose but restarted and grinded horribly until I won. =P Ain't no (double negative ftw) game gonna beat me for story reasons. Ima boss.

My friend was stuck on Primarch Barthandelus in Final Fantasy 13 for an entire night until I told him how to kill it. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed that one.
The spider in Darksiders, Silithia I think, was a pain to figure out, that's the first and only boss that I've had to watch a video to learn what to do. I was relived that alot of other people had the same trouble, but it's simple once you know what to do.

Ninja'd, also from the same game I realised after a while that rather than having a sniping duel with wolf out in the snow, I could just hide round a corner and use Nikita missiles.Grabbin Keelz said:

The EXACT same thing happened to me! I kept getting myself killed, especially as Riku until I figuired out how to get past that bit. (Dark Aura, take two steps forward. Rinse and repeat.) Even then I had some trouble after that part. I finally had a break, ate dinner, and then when I came back I flattened him first try 0_o.
Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 2.
Fucking mind blowing, i died in like 1 minute every time no matter what i did. Then, i heard a tip that Reflega would help against alot of his attacks... it did... and it kept me alive for ages. Also, leveling up the drive which grants you the massive jumping ability is needed to stop him from casting Sin Heartless Angel every five seconds. And with the Ultima Keyblade ontop of all that? he was a cakewalk, only time consuming.

Well, I wouldn't say infuriatingly difficult, but the dragon in Magicka is the hardest boss of the game for me, and quite difficult if you're unlucky. But here's the best part. Very early in the game, you might see a sword with the power to slay dragons. It's a pretty crappy sword, so even if you pick it up you're likely to swap it for, say, the M60 or the lightsaber (yes, those are both weapons in the game). But if you don't, you can one shot the son of a ***** dragon.
I beat the final boss in one try, simply because I remembered that the cores on GLaDOS in Portal 1 were all over on the body. Applying this type of logic to most sequels gets you very far, my friend.Lieju said:
Also, interesting fact I found out on the Combine OverWiki this weekend. The Space Core can actually get bored of space if you wait long enough. "Meh, don't like space. Wanna go to Earth. Wanna go home. Wanna go to Earth."
I am by no means above using a guide if I get stuck. Didn't need a guide for any of colossuses...colossi?...colosses? Whatever, I didn't need a guide. I almost needed one on the early one that was like a giant praying mantis thing and you had to go through the tunnel to get behind it. I tried this once and it didnt work so I thought that wasnt the right strategy, then I ran around confused for an hour, tried it again and got pissed that it worked.paintman said:
Also there was a big flashy red light where you are supposed to put it. And a splash of the blue gel where you're supposed to jump. I was just being a moron.TLS14 said:
I thought he said that because the place was falling apart and you were about to die.TLS14 said:
Well, let's hope he won't get bored of it, I mean, the Space Core got the happiest ending in that game, I thought.
