We've all had that time in a game where you get faced against a boss which is bloody difficult to beat. Sometimes its because of the strategy used to defeat them, other times its because the boss is at the end of a very long dungeon, and one of your team mates has used all of the healing potions. It differs from game to game, but each are challenging in their own way. My question, however, is which game boss is the most difficult to defeat?
Lets just lay down a few ground rules before you get posting.
First of all, the boss has to be challenging to defeat because of how you must go about defeating it. NOT because "It's hard to beat on the highest difficulty level".
E.G: The final boss of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty is the Queen of Blades. She keeps assaulting your base with a seemingly infinite amount of Zerg units. Each time she is beaten, she teleports back to her lair, regenerates, and then attacks again. The only way to win is to survive for 25 minutes. Because of this, a large amount of micro-management is required to hold out against the onslaught.
Even on the Casual difficulty mode, she is still a nightmare to defeat and is by all means, a pain in the ass. (And in-case your wondering, i'm close to that level on Brutal difficulty, and im dreading it!)
Back to the point, the Queen of Blades is a challenging boss because of the way in which you fight her, not because of difficulty level.
Second rule: If you're going to mention a secret boss, or one which would spoil a story, make sure to warn which game you're talking about first, and then put the rest of your comment in a spoiler box.
Im going to use the game Jade Empire as an example for this.

One of the bosses in JE is Master Li, who has 3 phases, has annoying stunlocks, and can drain your focus, meaning you can't use special weapons againt him!

insert whatever you want it to say here[ /spoiler] (without the spaces in the inverted brackets!)
Third rule: Mention WHY the boss was difficult! Saying "In god of war, Ares was a difficult battle" isn't that helpful. Saying "In god of war, Ares was a difficult boss because he has 3 phases. The first is standard combat. The second requires you to fight off many clones of yourself, whilst giving your health to the clones of your family. The third phase makes you lose all of your weapons and abilities, and the only way to win is to steal Ares health bar" is much better, as it clearly states WHY the said boss was annoying. Although my example was a little long winded!
Well, I hope to hear about some good battles, I'm looking for a good challenge, so by all means, post away!
