Hardest boss fight?

[blippity]

The final boss in Double Dragon III on the NES.

Probably Flamelurker in Demon's Souls.

Unpredictable, strong, fast, becomes even faster after taking some damage.

There were harder bosses in other games, but so far only Demon's Souls has had real difficulty, my deaths against Flamelurker weren't because the RNG said "fuck you" and killed me in some cheap way.

Really? for me he was one of the easier bosses, all of his attacks could be avoided by rolling to the side and there where loads of places he got caught on you could run through, magic was very effective against him if i remember correctly. You could also get to him quickly after you died because the only real obstacle in your way is the fall from the pit which can be completely avoided if you go the right way down and wear the cats ring. I beat him on my first try on NG+

OT: False King Allant, took me a year to beat him, well i gave up playing because of him for a year then get back into it and finally did it

Yiazmat. That's all I have to say.

Ares on God Mode (very hard) in God of War. That fight is unfair on multiple levels, but at the same time I don't really play RPG's or MMO's so I really don't come across a very hard fight all that often.

I remember almost throwing my controller (which I never even get close to doing) at one of the bosses on Devil May Cry 4 on the hardest difficulty, can't remember which one though.

Infamous 1 on Hard Kessler

i found him to be pretty hard but then

i found that Arc Lighting could pretty much insta kill him

Most of the bosses in the Monster Hunter games tend to give me a tough run my first few times trying to kill them. Khezu and Tigrex especially took me at least 5 attempts to kill. Tigrex actually made me quit the game when I realized that in order to get strong enough equipment to progress I'd need to start farming him.

Also, the helicopter fight in Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker was an absolute *****. Mostly because the actual pilot didn't give a shit about his ground forces and would fires missiles at you while you were surrounded by his mates.
"Friendly Fire? What's that? Oh you mean that thing where I hit my men with missiles? You mean I'm not supposed to do that? Kinda hard for me to tell that my men aren't expendable when you gave me 20 of the buggers and a helicopter to command just to kill one man."

Yeah, Monster Hunter monsters give me a tough time the first time. The only monster which I refuse to EVER fight again is the Plesioth. I don't think I've ever met a person who actually wants to fight the Plesioth.

Are we counting secret / extra bosses ? if so elizibeth from persona 3 she is INSANE especially on hard difficulty , gotta fight her with the protagonsit alone ? wait what?

If not , Nyx From persona 3 was really hard , you litterally need to grind for hours to have a chance to be him , he has 13 Arcanas shifts , which means your have to beat him 13 times. took me a good hour and a half ( i was underleved apparently )

 

[rofl jet]

I also had trouble with Gary Oak from Red.

Gary fucking Oak, I feel your pain brother, we´ve all been there.

Most of your pokemon have fainted, two are in the red, you're two tiles away from the pokemon center, and who decides to show up GARY MOTHERF**KING OAK

Good luck rolling away from all of his fire attacks if you're not very close to him, and that's basically a death trap because when he turns red [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TurnsRed] he attacks faster than you can get your shield back up.

However, I no longer find him as scary as he used to be(he stopped my NG+ run for a few months) because Homing Soul Arrow destroys him and he's not as unpredictable as I first thought.

There's a new hardest boss fight IMO, Old King Doran.

He's predictable but nearly impossible to defeat in a fair fight. His attacks can't be blocked without draining all stamina, he does insane amounts of damage and he heals himself to full if you let him. Fortunately he's optional and can be defeated by a few applications of Poison Cloud.

That said, beating "Attack on Arteria Cranium" on hard difficulty in Armored Core: For Answer without using one of the game's many broken weapons was ridiculous. I actually had to exploit the game so that I could fight each of the mechs one at a time. Since normally, you fight them all at once. And it's a *****, let me tell you.

I never found that mission to be that hard to be honest, got an A on my first try (and managed to save Old King too.)

My nomination? Kabuto from Giants: Citizen Kabuto

He's a massive giant about 100 times your size whose attacks are basically all instant-kills (and usually have an AOE knockdown around them so you have to jetpack at just the right moment to avoid shockwaves), he has a massive amount of health and you need to shoot his tiny weak point to even do any damage (except said weak point is covered by a shield unless you're up close to him)

Oh and you have to fight him with just the starter pistol (and maybe a few grenades,I can't go check because I think my disc/installers corrupted)

Yeah, this guy was fun to play but sure as hell not fun to fight.

 

[Purkki]

GoW 3 Zeus on the hardest. not cool

 

[Cat1987]

Dunno if anyone's said this because I haven't read the entire thread, but God on Extreme X mode in Silent Hill 3.

She's simply a nightmare.

 

[Kenko]

Demons Souls final boss. /thead

 

[Wilfy]

General Grievous on the Revenge of the Sith video game. I swear I tried that one fight about a hundred times.

 

[D_West]

Dracula from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. There are other versions of Dracula that are harder, but this is the worst since the whole game is a cakewalk until you get to him. The whole requires perfect timing, and he has multiple forms. I still haven't beaten it!

 

[AMX58]

The old Korean guy at the end of True Crime: Streets of L.A. You fist fight him in the wreckage of a downed plane...And I remember him being an utter C%&T!

that dude was hard

but mine was the dude from RE4 with out any weapons all i had was a handgun and the automatic sniper rifle
