Never in any version of the game have i ever been able to beat replica Riku in twilight town in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Couldn't beat it when i was younger, can't beat it now.

Also the Magus sisters in Final Fantasy X-2 are impossible for me. Tried so many times and every time sandy's attack slaughters me.

FTL, the fucking flagship. I've tried every combination I can get in that random ass messed up roguelike I love so much and want to murder 1000 times.... Something always fucks up, I get killed and pop back in at turn 1 looking like a chump. Fucking FTL.

EDIT: Also Ninja Gaiden, not the retuned version Black but the original... Alma, that *****. It made me break 4 controllers and gave me a series of serious fucking migraines. I finally just decided to break the damn disc.
FTL I tracked, I did it after 17 runs. Literally need a godlike run and know what to do.
I gave my brother my steam account to try the game, he completed it first time.

My ego was RUINED.

Can I second this? Cos I'm gonna. I gave that boss too much of my goddamn time before I said fuck it and beat Demon's Souls to vent my frustration. Stupid, ill-designed bastard.
With the post i've made above this one... I guess we can all agree about how the Ancient Dragon is the lamest yet most broken, terrible boss in Dark Souls history? I actually think From Software has no excuse, seeing as they made Kalameet in DS 1's DLC the best dragon boss i've ever fought. Such a shame man ...
I both agree and love your new picture Caramel, 10/10

Hell 17 isn't too shabby. I've probably put in a good 100+ runs (unlocked almost every ship in doing so) and still nothing. I haven't given up yet but one run? Wow... Lucky bastard.

Yeah if you've got some advice for me I'm more than happy to take it on board. It will be awhile before I attempt him again though. I've got the HD remake but I haven't got far into it yet.
For the original Kingdom Hearts 1, there are a few things you can use. For one, get the Ribbon, as it not only buffs all resistances to elements by 20%, it raises defense by 3. Then try to stack the dark resistance, as Sephiroth's attacks are considered dark element. Another thing is Sephiroth's Heartless Angel move, the one that cause you to lose all magic and health down to one. He has a windup for that, and if you manage to hit him during it, he will instantly teleport behind you. If he does get it off on you, he will also always teleport behind you, so dodge roll or guarding helps. To interrupt Heartless Angel it also helps to have Strike Raid because you actually have invincibility frames while using it.

For Final Mix, it's a bit easier to manage because of some new abilities added into Final Mix that weren't in the first game. For one, Leaf Bracer helps since you have invincibility frames when casting cure on yourself, so timing it right helps. Another ability that helps is Slapshot, which can be abused to negate half of Sephiroth's attacks because of the constant and quick attacking you do. Finally, Sliding Dash helps you get closer to Sephiroth for Heartless Angel.

Now you need to keep in mind, Sephiroth will vocally use Heartless Angel for a while, but when close to death, he won't vocally say it any more, so always keep a lock onto Sephiroth. Using Aeroga helps lower the damage you take as well, so it helps to keep it constantly cast on yourself. And stack all your items with just Elixirs, as using Mega Elixirs would be a waste.

Hope this helps.

Usually for the Corrupted Aeons, I'd cheese it with Yuna or Paine's final dresspheres (Floral Fallal and Full Throttle respectively). There is a garment grid called Unerring Path that you grab the moment you get a special dressphere, and it only has two nodes on it. Equip that on the lady of choice, switch classes and use the Final Spheres. It gives you a much better chance, by any rate.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Editted for some clarification.

Just beaten the boss I mentioned in my OP!!

I was at lv. 80, farmed for materials to create a Meteor Dragoon gun so I could Moan Bullet, fused an Amaterasu and had her do all the healing and buffing, Thor with the debuffing and using Madness Crush, and Haciman for the occasional moment the boss used Ice as I fused him with Ice Repel.

Fuck yeah!!

FUCKING DARKLURKER. I HATE THE DARKLURKER. I can handle the Ancient Dragon when he cooperates with me, but the Darklurker just has too much bs between you and him.

Excellent, thank you.

I reckon with that knowledge, and the fact that I am surely better at games now compared to how I was as a kid, I should be able to beat him.... Hopefully.

The design of ancient dragon and vendrik does certainly fit their respective lore... but damn

I just didn't even try the ancient dragon, or vendrik. If I want to piddle down the bosses help little by little I will do a raid in WoW or something. (At least then I can blame it on others if we fail at it)

My personal, Argath Thadalfus from tactics 1.3, and the final boss from the respective mod's easy mode. (the former I will get to someday, the latter I will never make plans to do)

Grissom and the Dark Crusader from Vagrant Story.
OH MY DEAR GOD.
The boss itself isn't that bad--it's getting there that's a heap of *****. It's an incredibly long, confusing run from the save point to the boss, including one room with a Fire Elemental in it that spams an MP-sucking move so you don't have any MP to heal yourself, and then uses Fireball on you. Getting to the boss room itself with any HP/MP is complete luck.
And then--THEN--you have to hope Sydney isn't stupid enough to use Prostasia (the equipment-buffing spell) instead of Heal on you as his first move when you get there. ("NO YOU STUPID IMMORTAL BASTARD DON'T USE PROSTASIA! USE HEAL!" *game over screen* "FUUUUUUUCK!!!")

Dante in Devil May Cry 4 on Hell and Hell difficulty, jesus christ, beating him on Son of Sparda was hard enough but with this one attack death nonsense, I might as well just kill myself... I don't even want to think what the saviour would be like... With dante blocking pretty much any attack you throw bar 2 or 3 combos, it's virtually impossible to hit him and when he hits you, you die. In short, screw that boss, I'll never beat you and you will always beat me.

The Empress of Time in Warrior Within. Even on Easy, it took me replaying the game and making sure I got all the health upgrades just to have barely enough life to beat her. At the end of the fight, I was out of sands and the sliver of health I had left was so small that I couldn't even see it anymore. Again, this was on Easy with all available health upgrades until that point.

Essentially, the fight is just a one-on-one sword fight. Like most bosses, you are limited in the acrobatics you can do. Trying to climb over her will cause her to knock you down, and she sometimes will even move out of the way of attacks launched from a wall or a pillar. This mostly limits you to using basic attacks and sand powers, but the problem with adding those sand powers is that she not only is the only boss that is partially immune to them (ex. she can still block to some extent if you slow down time), but it also reduces the number of times you can rewind time if you get killed. Oh, and you can't replenish them, considering the minions she summons a couple times never drop any.

After that, she is just incredibly unforgiving. Attack too many times, she'll block and launch a quick counterattack that will possibly knock you down. Block for too long and she'll go low, knocking you down. She may also teleport right behind you, and if you try to dodge the inevitable attack the wrong way, The Prince will end up trying to climb over her which, as I've already said, causes her to knock you down. Oh, and she also doesn't have any qualms with striking you a couple times while you get up, and as I'm sure I've made clear, getting knocked down is a common result of even minor mistakes. The fight isn't necessarily unfair outside of the occasional control problems all the Prince of Persia games have, but it is really unforgiving and probably the last time a boss really challenged me to an excessive degree.

With that said, I've never been more thrilled to beat a boss, and I'd even say that that fight is among the most enjoyable boss battles I've had. Sure, it made me rage quit multiple times and even got me to restart a game I wasn't particularly fond of at the time. However, I still haven't found a major sword fight quite as thrilling as that one.
huh? but if you got all the health upgrades in the game you shouldn't even be fighting the Emperes, but rather fight the Dahaka in order to save the emperes life and take her back with you (as per cannon). That beeing said ... idk, I never found her hard.

umm really? 1) gower's ring and shake your ass in his general direction. 2) enter arena, run towards boss, boss goes "rawr cone breath attack", you run to the side to avoind it, get near his leg and it's gg. From that point onward you attack his leg like crazy (avoid the easy to avoid stomps) and when he flies up to do the dowards breath thing you run towards hos tail. He never once hits you. The entire strategy if focused on agroing the fucker, tp-ing out of the fight, coming back and using that cheap trick to get near his back legs. HE WILL NEVER HIT YOU. Just because he 1 shots you doesn't make him hard when it's so easy to lock him in a routine where he never hits you. there are people out there who have beaten him with no armour and dual wieldieng the greatshield set. That's how "hard" this boss is.

Also some of you mentined Vendrick. I asume you mean because of the giant soul requierment to do any real dmg to him. Here's the thing: he can be beat without any giant soul (it takes ages I learned that the hard way). I just don't get you people ... he isn;t hard, you can dodge his every attack and he gives you ample time to dodge. With 5 giant souls he doesn't even have that much hp. And lets not forget like Ancient Dragon there is a way to fight him where he isn;t even able to hit you (get behind his left leg: his each and every move will basicaly push you around but not out of that sweatspot where he can;t hit you but you can do all the dmg you wan. The only downside is that your face will be buried in his ass all the fight, but hey: at least they never gave him a fart attack. And besides how bad can his ass smell after all the shit you went through before reaching him)

Now me personaly: I have 2 boses here. One is badly designed hard and that is The Bed of Chaos from Dark Souls 1. Second is properly designed hard: Kalameet. again from Dark Souls 1. Those are some of the hardest boses ever (i can't say boses I never beat because there are as of yet no such things)

I'm talking about the first fight that occurs midway through the game after Kaileena reveals that she is The Empress. At that point, I think only about 2/3 of the health upgrades are even available.

Of course, I do know that there is the potential to face her a second time in the non-canon ending, but I've never actually done that. Since facing the Dahaka is the canon ending, I've never been motivated to go back through the game and face her a second time. Besides, I've heard that she is considerably easier the second time, and that sort of takes away from the fun of the fight I did struggle considerably on.

In Zone of the Enders 2 there is this boss you have to grab to beat.

I've never been able to get the timing down.

Dark souls 2 Lost sinner NG+ I can only beat this boss with help, I can't do it on my own, its flat out unreasonable to expect people to be able to take on a fast super aggressive boss while having two pyromancers throw spells at you and don't you dare try to target the pyros because of the "super aggressive" boss.
I've heard complaint about that multiple times now, but I have beaten the Lost Sinner at NG+ without any pyros spawning. What pyros do spawn there and how come they did'nt spawn for me? Or do you mean these giant guys with the scythes?

People will probably laugh at me for that, but:

The goat boss in Dark Souls... I didn't have any problems with the game until that enemy appeared. Either he or his dogs kill me before I even have the slightest chance to reach the stairs behind him.
That boss made me quit Dark Souls...
Oh I hate the capra demon boss sooooo much, not because its the hardest boss, but because you have to fight the small room much more than him. He swings his big ass swords through the walls left and right and You get your camera stuck on shit dont see jack squat and are supposed to fight him and his dogs in a tiny storage room.

From Final Fantasy X it's Seymour at Mount Gagazet. I gave up the first time and have spent over 40 hours grinding my ass off before I face him again. I don't remember what made the fight bullshit, I just remember ragequitting like a year ago at that point.

ONLINE Ur-Dragon... Nuff said.

The only boss I know that gets stronger with each defeat. The rewards are not worth it, and you can generally get better gear with the DLC.

Edit: Dragon's Dogma.
