Hardest Video game bosses

You said no RPGs, but all I can think of at the moment is FFVIII's final boss. I had to max out every single character to beat her. Took forever. Only beat it once. I couldn't even go back to my old save file to beat her again if I wanted. The end cut scene was well worth it though.

Junctions and don't power level, monsters scale to you.

Really? I did not know that they scaled in FFVIII. Thanks.

You're very much welcome.

Zidoneus on Ninja Gaiden 2 the second time u face him, i hated that guy

For shame! 5 pages and no Translator on Titan (God of War 2)?

Malcolm from Unreal tournament 2 if I recall that right. Your on some spaceship and it's just you VS him. 9/10 I must have replayed that battle for weeks and still never beat him. I swear he had your head locked on even when he couldn't see you physically so when you came around the corner BAM your dead. I'm sure there's harder bosses but that one stands out for me.

The Boost Guardian in Metroid Prime 2 made me crazy. Not only was it a tough and unpredictable boss, but the environment was toxic so it slowly killed you. Brutal, especially since it was pretty early in the game.

No one hate me now, although I hated RAAM in Gears of War. It took me weeks before I killed the shit.

The Second Jackal (the one you have to jack) from dark Sector. This was the only boss that I had to read a walkthrough to beat. Most of the games bosses are puzzles in themselves, but it does not take that much thinking. But for this Jackal, I thought that I had to keep hitting it with electricity enough times until it dies. But no, I just had to hijack it from behind when it was disabled. 25 minutes wasted for something that could have been done in 2.

Kingdom Hearts: PS2: Sephiroth.

EDIT: Am I the only one whose beaten him here...?

No, I've beaten him a lot. It's actually easy when you've fought him as much as I have.

Anyway, one of the hardest bosses for me was The Guy from I Wanna be the Guy, PC download, four stage fight with fire balls, fire pillars, homing attacks, a beam that is sort of like a machine gun, and you can't touch the floor later in the fight. Some of this stuff comes up all at once and to top it off you always die with a single hit. For me that fight involved a lot of screaming. Oh yeah and there are flying spikes.

Rayman 2, PS1: Razorbeard.

I temporarily had so much trouble with him; this was back when I sucked at video games. When I did beat him I was very happy ^_^. Now I can pretty much beat anything (as long as I like it (*ahem* looking at you Dark Sector)).

First, it's not really a theory. I've beaten him this way many times without any complications. To keep from dying despite having low character classes, alternate between using and setting two protective dijinn such as flash and shade. This will keep your characters alive in time to use the summons you have ready and swap out new characters. It's unlikely that he will hit you with dijinn storm in the first two turns of the fight, which is the only time that dijinn storm would ruin this strategy. After that, you'll only be introducing one new character with dijinn at a time, so dijinn storm wouldn't send enough dijinn into recovery to ruin the strategy.

I have no defense for your last point, but the strategy will work well for players trying to beat Dullahan in the game.

Flash, Granite, and Shade don't protect from status effects, so you'll still be likely to go down with Charon. Plus summon rush doesn't show too much skill in the player if you ask me. You're just throwing things that deal damage proportional to his max health which takes away a lot of the challenge of fighting a bonus boss. And that's just me saying that.

Once again, it is unlikely that you will get hit by Charon in the first few moves. Even if you do get hit by it, it's not difficult to revive the portion of your party that was downed, and you can still summon the dijinn of fallen party members. Unless you have a low level party, Charon shouldn't pose much of a threat to this strategy. And while it is true that summon rush doesn't require much skill, it is a easy method to beating a exceptionally hard boss.

However, if this is now about skill, I have beaten Dullahan regular way, both in the game and in the battle arena.

Exactly the same thing Egoraptor's friend tells him in Metal Gear Awesome 2. "Colonel tells you."

Oh and a lot of people here don't care much for poor spelling in grammar. They'll call you out on it.

Saren from Mass Effect. I died so fucking many times.
