Most Difficult Boss you've ever faced.

After you poor blood on the cartridge and an entire weekend getting all the damn ewoks you have to fight this.....this THING. I'm a pretty good gamer i'd say, most games arent so much of a challenge as they are seeing how long it will take to beat it, but DAMNIT, took me 4 hours to beat this guy, dying OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

Post your most difficult boss encounter, lets reminisce

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Master Murai fron Ninja Gaiden, far, far too hard for a first level boss. The first fight with Alma held me for a few days too....

 

[TomNook]

My girlfriend.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

The final boss on Parasite Eve 2. I don't know if it boiled down to bad resource management throughout the game, but I burned through all my ammo on it, it didn't even look like dying and I had nothing left to use but harsh language. Needless to say that didn't work.

Easy. The End, from MGS3. I literally spent three hours fighting the bugger. I literally had to save, mid-fight, and come back the next day to finish him off. And one time, I was using my d-mike to search for him (didn't use the thermals), then clicked it off, and when I came back into third-person view, he was standing right on top of me. Literally. I still get chills thinking about it... (Then he shot me. In the head. Not fun...) Plus, I had the bright idea of trying to tranq him to death. So very worth it though, to get my hands on his tranquilizer sniper rifle...
Then again... I haven't fought The Sorrow yet. Though that'll probably be more awesome and mind-screwing than hard...

In the vein of "Natsu_Blaze," I choose another boss from MGS3, ironically called... come-on, you know.. "The Boss." Took me forever to beat her because I have this stupid obsession with never firing my weapon, so I kept trying to melee her to death. Eventually, I gave up, and used fire-arms. Made my life much easier, though i still had to try over and over like 9 times after that.

On the Legend of Zelda: oracle of Seasons for the Game Boy Colour was a boss that could best be described as a giant eye that jumps around the screen.

Well to beat this boss you needed to use your Magnet Gloves to push a giant spiked ball at mr Big Eye. This all sound fine and dandy except for the fact that the ball hurts you. Quite often I would be trying to push the ball at Mr Big Eye, miss then press A again to drag it pack to me but have my thumb on A for one millonth of a second to long and have the giant ball ram into me taking off some hearts. Very annoying.

Well eventualy I had gotten lucky enough to hit Mr Eye ball enough times to make him make his death noise, but instead of becoming a heart piece he transforms into many little Mr Eyeball's. If you don't kill all the midget Eyeballs with the metal ball of death then you have to start again and the eyeballs don't want to die from the metal ball of death so they run around very fast, making it hard to hit them and easy for you to get hit.

I kept my cool though and 200 deaths later I was able to get my piece of heart. I picked up this game a few months ago and played through it again. Well this boss, that had given me a month of suffering was now easy. Far too easy. I think killing him with only losing 4 hearts pissed me off more than losing to him 200 times.

Any of the bosses in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Game Gear. NOT the Genesis game, but the game for Sega's underrated portable system.

 

[Nugoo]

Almost any boss from Dragon Quest VIII. That game takes way more grinding than the Final Fantasy series.

 

[blaze96]

mother fucking lou I played him on medium because I played medium since 1 and now playing on hard would be like asking me to jump off the empire state building and survive but that fucker expected me to play the devil went down to Georgia survive the most frustrating solo known to mankind and still survive with enough energy to beat his ass while using the mother fucking ORANGE button I'm sorry but when did medium get an orange button with out the difficulty up power up being used in battle. oh and I am not the fucking flash so don't expect me to be able to make my fingers move 30 miles a damn second.

Oh my God. That game was ridiculously hard. I think it was the main reason I did not play my Game Gear. I was so frustrated trying to play that and Cool Spot by lamplight. Argh!

 

[Phantom6]

The boss in Baten Kaitos Origins who I cannot name, for it is probably the game's biggest spoiler, who you fight in the battlefields of Atria. I'm just glad the game gives you unlimited chances to win the battle or else I'd never have finished the game.

 

[end_boss]

That stupid tortoise boss in Shadow of the Colossus. It's not like you die very often when fighting it, but even when you figure out to stun it with the geysers, it's a ***** to try and make sure it's standing in just the right spot while hoping that a geyser will randomly decide to burst beneath it.

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

His name was Don, he managed the grocery store where I worked, and one day walked in and announced to the staff he'd decided he didn't need to take his meds any more. He then proceeded to rapid-cycle through 10 days of mania, two weeks of depression, and three weeks of normalcy, over and over. The strategy was pretty much a combo of stealth and defensive combat. He finally fired me in a fit of manic paranoia. I'm not sure if I beat that boss or he beat me, but I did make it to the next level.

 

[Rabid Toilet]

The Guy in I Wanna Be The Guy

Basically the hardest boss of all time in one of the hardest games ever made. You have to dodge his rapid fire pistol which shoots bullets that take up almost a quarter of the screen, all whilst trying to make pixel perfect jumps to reflect them back at him, which fails if you are off by even half a second.

Then, once you think you've beaten him, he ends up with a second form that takes up half the screen, sets the floor on fire, shoots homing fire balls at you that follow you through walls, and only has one incredibly small weak point that you have to fire at, all whilst being chased around the screen by a huge laser of death that kills you if you pause for a fraction of a second.

Oh, and did I mention that if anything even remotely grazes you, your character explodes and you have to start the entire fight over again.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

That one boss from the first Half-Life. I had no idea whether I was hurting it or not, I spent ours jumping around and shooting inside it's big head, but, nothing seemed to work, I even looked at a walkthrough.

There were some bosses from Ninja Gaiden (the xbox one.) that I remember if I made one small mistake...I was ****ing Dead...I still beat them after many frustrating tries though.

Also, DMC series has some real tough bosses, but, after playing a while, I end up getting really good at DMC so despite how epic - tough- or unfair a Boss fight is, I can still manage to get through it, and DMC usually has some AWESOME boss fights.

-and man, the Boss at the end of Tekken 5's "story mode" = Cheapest boss ever, ugh, it was just plain unfair what that guy could do, I really don't want to go into detail, it would turn into a huge rant.
