Terra's final boss in Birth By Sleep. It didn't help that I didn't understand how abilities worked in that game at the time.
GOOOOD that fight was torturous. I had a pretty good grasp of the combat system, but that fight is insanely prejudiced against you. His attacks cover half of the room, NOTHING takes off less than a third of your health, but do you know what really kills me about that fight?
His soul has taken over the body you were using not five minutes ago, and he somehow manages to be about ten times stronger and have five times more health? How? I guess it shouldn't take more than thirty seconds for the soul of a dying man to adjust to an entirely new body?
That was the most unbearably cheap enemy in the series.

That was one of my more enraged entries here, but I actually gave up and looked up the ending on Youtube, and... it's not even that good. *Sigh*
Well Xehanort was already powerful, it's just that Terra's body didn't have all that age to slow him down.
He's not as frustrating when you fight him again, though, as I managed to beat him in two or three attempts in Final Mix.

Motherfucking Elizabeth Greene in Prototype. Especially if you don't know what you're doing.
protip, get the move that stops you from being insta killed and leaves you with a tiny amount of health. I killed her in one life

For me, most of the bosses in Ninja Gaiden 2. Unfucking ridiculously shitty balls ***** ass RAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWR

The last boss on Golden Axe for the Genesis was a MAJOR prick. His skeleton guards are pretty much unkillable (I think someone tested it and they have twice the health of the final boss). Get knocked down at all, and the arse casts 2 strong magic attacks which takes at least 3 bars of damage (you only get 5 if you up it in the options menu). You can only use magic once against him, but he has unlimited.

The final boss from Demon's Souls is a fucking nightmare, i died almost instantly every time i fought him (which was at least 40 times btw). There is also the fact that it takes about 10 minutes to get to him after each death, fighting quite a few tough enemies along the way.
The False King is not the last boss, the real last boss is a royal push over though.
To kill your guy I give you just this one crucial piece of advice, DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDGE!!!! Sacrifice protection for the ability to dodge better. Dodge whenever he looks like he is about to attack and take your time. Once you figure his attacks out, you can kill him fairly easily. Long ranged weapons like magic or bows are effective.

I just thought of another one. It's not really a boss battle but the effect was the same.


The asteroids shooting on Dead Space. Fuck. That.

I love MGS, so when MGS2 throws bullshit at me like say Vamp in that weird bubbly water room, after having to go at a snails pace for like 30 minutes to make sure Otacons sister doesn't drown because she's too lazy to smiw for herself that's pretty annoying.

Or in MGS3 when I had no damn clue how to kill The End, I couldn't find the bastard anywhere, turned off my playstation for a week came back and he'd died of old age (which was slightly degrading so I loaded up an old save and ended u beating him and getting his camo and rifle).

But by far the worst boss of them all was The Sorrow because again I had no clue what to do, I went to the bottom of the river, died and sat thinking shit, how do I get past this nonsense, restarting the mission again and again until finally i put my controller down and it bumped the R2 button and my inventory came up and I used the revival pill. A month of walking down that damn river...

We all have one, you know that boss that took you a million tries to beat or you still haven't beaten to this day? What is your One Boss? As for me, it's probably that giant SOB that comes out of the building in Devil May Cry 2, I still haven't beaten him.
Out of the building? Oh no, OP, he IS the building. But I'm getting off topic.

You know, there's a couple of these that I can think of from the Kingdom Hearts games. The first is Sephiroth, of course. Sorry, but that man is insane in those games. Fortunately, the only thing you get out of him is bragging rights. You don't NEED him for anything, or Kurt Zisa. Remember Kurt Zisa, the Heartless named after a contest winner? Well, I beat him, but I did not beat the Heartless at Big Ben. Needlessly-complex bosses are always on my NO list. Fortunately, they're optional, there because.

EDIT: Anyone else getting a "That girl!" vibe off of this thread?

Rikku from KH1 on hard mode. [sub][sub]I was like, 10, shut up...[/sub][/sub]
Most of the bosses from Nier on hard mode so far.
The patriarch from Killing Floor. Does he count? Oh well.
Also, Elder Wyrm from FF12. That game was just all like, hey, you're level 20 something by this point? LEVEL 36 BOSS FIGHT LOLOLOLOLOLOLO. Dick move, Square.

That damn Russian guy in Alpha Protocol, with that seemingly goddamn bulletproof tracksuit.

The bossfight in Alpha Protocol where you fight a crazy Russian crackhead blasting 80's music. After playing I paused the game, quit, declared it bullshit and sold it to pre-order Resistance 3.

THIS. I hated that guy so bad. I got incredibly pissed off trying to beat him, more than I had in a long time. I played it the next day, and beat him eventually, but once I beat him it felt great. One of the great things about annoying bosses is you feel so much better defeating one of them than any other bosses.

Mizar in Jet Force Gemini. No matter how hard I tried and how much help I had from someone using the little support robot on controller #2, I could never beat him. And now I can't even go back and play the game at all because of how poorly the game has aged. It's mostly just the aiming: the cursor is constantly trying to snap back to the middle of the screen instead of just having the entire camera move with the cursor like in modern games. I had been hoping for a modern release like other Rare games got on XBLA, but after seeing how the rerelease of Perfect Dark had the same shit aiming in its demo, I no longer care what they do with the game.
..You can go into the options and switch the control schemes. In fact, Recon controls are Halo controls. Works perfectly.

MY BOSS:



Yeah, Azel, I'm looking at you. Jesus Christ! You have thaaaaaat much health?!?!?! And you dodge all of my normal hits?!?!!? Maaaaaaaan. Took me 26 tries to beat Azel.

EVERY boss from I Wanna Be The Guy.
I get past the guy from street figher can't remember his name then i get my ass kicked.
Hah, that's the first boss! I spent a year on the game and got to Dr. Robotnik and his weird hovercraft. I never got past him...
You're thinking of Mike Tyson. He's talking about Kraidgief.

Miracle Matter. From Kirby 64.
And when I was younger, 02, the final FINAL boss.

And what's truly tragic, is that when I was a kid, Miracle Matter was my *****. I could own that elemental white blood cell so badly.

And 02 raped me with the explosions, green gas, and massive health he had.

Now, 02 cries bloody tears of horror when I kill him without so much as a single hit.

And Miracle Matter towers above me with its sheer might and ability to hit me no matter where I go.

TURN UP! THE RADIO! I NEED THE MUSIC, GIMME SOME MORE!

That fight is a bit easier with the intel you get from the clearinghouse to poison his drugs, but it's still a hard b***h. Yeah, I remember that one. And the last level bosses...

I'm still shocked no one mentioned Mike Tyson from Punch Out!, but the one I got is a bit more obscure. Orphen: Scion of Sorcery for the PS2 was a bland and boring game, but had a neat little mechanic where you played through three different times, each with one of the survivors from the crashed ship.

After you beat the boss for the last survivor...you wake up in GAIA's lab, and realize that you just pissed off a 50-ft mech of destruction that wrecks your shields and regularly has you deal with those. You have to time your shield/shots near perfect just to start hurting her, and the fight is constantly interrupted by those bits.

Have fun.

Almalexia! It might have been that I had used most of my health potions fighting through the whole dungeon because I would hit her once and she would take out 90% of my health. Then I had to run around the room until it regenerated (Thank you so much, auto-win ring that I stole from Helseth xD) So I guess it wasn't hard, it just took forever.
That was pretty easy, for me - I instantly realised I'd been stockpiling Fortify Strength Potions from all those Hulking Fabricants >:)

She died fast :p
I should have done that! I was trying to hoard those for that wood elf in the ebony armor that attacks you for no reason. Actually, I want to change my answer to him. I have only killed him once in all of my playthroughs

Forever to beat Misty in pokemon because I picked charmander. Can remember having a Nidorino at level 20, I think Charmeleon was at level 26. 16 times I had to battle her, every time I was close to losing, I would just shut my gameboy off and try again. Almost thought about picking bulbasaur and starting over. Oh man, I almost broke my gameboy.

All I can think of is one of the bosses in the 3rd act of FFVIII. I don't remember the name. All I know is that, after all the time and effort I put in, this boss made me give up on the game entirely and give it back to my friend.

Saren, right before the final fight of the game. Not packing any anti shield ammo for that fight is a horrible idea. 30 minutes of pot shots with the sniper rifle and the bastard was still running around on his damn hover thing taunting me. Not Fun.

THAT boss used to be Jecht from FFX a couple of years back. Now I don't have a "THAT" boss. I hope I won't anytime soon either o_o (Although Catherine has the potential to do just that.)
