Enemies You Always Have and Always Will Take Seriously...

[Eldarion]

Goddamn Regeneraters from RE4.

Oh god, I'll never forget the first time I got killed by one of those things.

Ugh.

Same, I hate those things.

 

[FieryTrainwreck]

I second the giant trolls from Demon's Souls. You've got like 2-3 good swings before they adjust and ruin your shit.

 

[Zeema]

Every Boss/Mini Boss in Demons Souls and the dogs i hate them

 

[Liebermann]

Someone mentioned before.

Nuke Cannons in C&C Generals.

Nothing worse than seeing one of those things unpack miles away from your base defenses and letting of just 1 shell.
You know once those patriot missles go down, you've no army to backup your base because all of your money went straight into an overkill of a front line.

Damn my defensive play!

 

[The Eggplant]

Duriel from Diablo II. I hate that guy.

Oh Christ yes. My first playthrough I was just cruising through all opposition, wiping the floor with legions of skeletons, mummies, and God-knows-what-else, and then BAM. Duriel showed up, like a spiny, maggot-filled brick wall. I ended up having to grind my way up to two or three levels past him just to take him down, and even then it was a close thing.

In retrospect, much of that difficulty came from awful gear and a piss-poor understanding of proper character builds, but even so. "Looking for Baal?" Yeesh.

Oh, and Oblivion Knights from the same game. As a devoted user of the Zeal-Fanaticism Paladin build, I lived in constant fear of hearing the Iron Maiden curse's wail all through the Chaos Sanctuary. "Fleedle deedle dee...venom lords, doom knights, no swea...OH SHIT IRON MAIDEN STOP ZEALING PLEASE PLEASE PL--fuck."

Duriel is an ass because of his holy freeze aura and the fact that hes stupid fast for being a big maggot guy. I really don't see how blizzard figured him a good boss for that level. If you played through properly, he's one tough cookie at that level.

The oblivion knights were my pick. Then in the recent 1.13 patch, they took iron maiden from them. It feels way too easy now. As a werebear sorceress that hits 88k melee and attacks faster than the game can show(seriously, it only shows 1 swing for every 3 times I swing), it's too easy. It really is a shame. That was about the only place melee characters struggled. Not even mercenaries were safe.

I'd like to add undead stygian dolls. I've always hated them. They're small, fast, travel in packs, and explode and hurt a lot when they die. They also just killed my level 87 hardcore character.

Whoa whoa whoa. WHAT??? I stopped playing DII for good about a year ago (when I went away to college and couldn't afford to have that particular time sink always lurking around, basically), so I'm not up to date. They removed Iron Maiden from OK's? That almost makes me want to dig up my discs and play again, just to Zeal my way through the little fuckers with impunity.

EDIT: Buuuut I just discovered that Uber Trist leveling no longer works. So much for getting back into the game...I don't have the time to level properly with school starting in a couple weeks. Too bad :/

The first few times it feels great. Getting revenge on them for all the wrong they've done to me. Then you realize the challenge of it gone. The challenge made it fun. Now it's kinda sad. That part was always one of my favorites.

 

[ddon]

The invincible enemies in Rayman 3. I just always worry that if I was seen I would be chased until I either get killed by them, or fall in a hole while trying to get away.

 

[Fenra]

those little swarms from dead space, made that mistake only once "look they are so tiny and ooooooh god my face!", they'd shred me to pieces so quickly

 

[Druyn]

Any given full-sized dragon in Dragon Age: Origins. I fought both Flemeth and High Dragon 3 times before given up, and the Archdemon nearly broke my spirit.

I took down Flemeth at level 8, first try. Leliana, Wynne, and Shale. JUst put wynne and leliana on the other side of the water, and she cant draw them in. And Shale can take damage like its nobodies business.

High Dragon, also first try, but later. Same Deal.

Archdemon, tho... Archdemon was a *****. Could have been Easier, but Nooooo, I had to take goddamn Alistair with me. FUCK you AListair, why do you have to suck so badly? I had to go back and do the entire battle all over again, every part of it. It hurt.

 

[Da_Schwartz]

Hunters in RE1. Extra caution at all times.

 

[Walkchalk]

Apples. Those god damned apples from IWBTG. It was the first room, I never expected it, no idea what I was getting into. T_T

 

[Zyxx]

Tonberries. I'll be sitting there, playing some FF or other, not really paying attention, then its sudden appearance makes me jump. "Aah! Tonberry! Killit quick!"
Malboros provoke a similar reaction.

Oh, and dogs/dog monsters in just about anything. They're usually the fast, vicious guys with just a little too much attack power and health.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Spies... There everywhere and can kill oyu an instant you never know when-AAGGGHHH!

 

[Hansliszt]

Marlboro king and Master Tonberry, both from FFX, the only mobs that ever made me go; f*ck!

 

[Hokutan]

Khezu from monster hunter that SOB just absorbed damage like a champ.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Juggernauts from MW2. I wouldn't necessarily say I take them seriously, since I think they're incredibly, incredibly cheap, but whenever I heard the ominous tone that symbolized one of those bastards spawning, I'd take cover and start searching for them frantically. The fact that they could take ten direct headshots from a very large-caliber sniper rifle (The CheyTac is hardly a BB gun), all while juggling you with an M240 so that your aim is always jumping? Pff, fuck those guys.

However, I did laugh when I realized that they were probably a take-that against everyone that filled the COD forums with "nerf juggernaut".
