The Cheapest Boss You've Ever Fought

[haaxist]

For me, it would probably have to be the Tyrant in Resident Evil:Code Veronica X, the one you fight in the plane. Not only are the controls as ergonomic as a bed made out of broken glass and salt, they give you like no room to fight it. I almost threw my controller at my screen. As it was, I turned off the game.

Enough about me, what's your cheapest boss fight?

And if this is already a topic, then I'm sorry. There, I apologized in advance. PLease don't reply just to tell me this is already a topic.

EDIT----------------------------------------------------
Wow. I didn't expect this to be so popular. I hoped, but you guys exceeded all expectations. You guys (and girls, don't flame me) are great. Thank you for being so awesome!

Cheapest as in pointless or cheapest as in stupidly unfair and annoying?

 

[Archetypal_Maniac]

Friggin Kahn in MK3...cheap bastard!

 

[kannibus]

The end boss from Neverwinter Nights 2. If I have to halt an epic battle to go and look up a "How to Kill" faq on the net, then we've got a problem.

Sorry, I forgot to say. Cheapest as in stupidly unfair and annoying. Thanks for bringing that up.

As much as I love Bioshock I have to say the Big Daddy's are pretty cheap. I don't understand how they make you go into slow motion by doing nothing.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

Jinpachi from Tekken 5,
Necron from FF9,
Perseus from God of War 2,
Belias from Final Fantasy tactics, (pretty much every boss in that game really)
Al Bhed Psyches in Bitzball.

Spirit Doku from Ninja Gaiden, so he blocks most of my attacks and he can use an unblockable move that regenerates half of his health bar while taking away more than half of mine. No thanks, I was cheering when I finally killed him for good.

In terms of unfairness, I think it would be Seth from Street Fighter IV.
I never played a Street Fighter before and I thought I give the "easy" mode a chance. Everything worked fine till the endboss fight. He is ridiciously hard to beat there is no easy mode while fighting the boss, so why bother adding modes after all.

In terms of easy, I would go with the pope from Grandia 2. 1 vs. 3 easy as hell. 1 was attacking normally, 1 was attacking heavy so he could not perform action, 1 was using magic/heals.

The bosses in Prototype are like this. Elizabeth Greene and the end boss. If you try to get close enough to use your critical mass devestators, they basically shoot you out of the air, meaning you lose critical mass. I had to spend most of the Elizabeth Greene fight hiding behind billboards eating Hunters. Even artillery strikes do nothing against her.

The Sloth Demon in Dragon Age: Origins is also pretty cheap, because his final form will lock your whole party down with Blizzard. I'm still convinced it was only through luck that I beat him when I did.

Tabuu on Insane. Man that was tough.

Yeah, I have to agree with you there.
I would call that a king sized dick move of an example of Guide, Dang It [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GuideDangIt]

Sigh, another few hours im going to pump into tvtropes.

 

[Katana314]

Mirror's Edge - The Assassin.

Don't punch her! Because punching her means she can COUNTERATTACK! But there's some inexplicable times midfight where you CAN punch her which you know because...well I don't know. And also don't try to duck her kicks because that doesn't even make sense. And don't do flying kicks that force your entire body weight towards her chest because she'll BLOCK THEM.

Gee, this PARKOUR GAME sure is great, isn't it?

I don't get this one, they never seemed to slow me down much. But then again I was very careful when I went hunting them and mostly did it using heavy weapons. They usually just meant I'd have to backtrack for some healing or that I'd use up a ton of the rarer/more powerful ammo.

 

[Mr.Black]

Azazel, Tekken 6. I HATE HIM SO MUCH ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[lenneth]

Jinpachi from Tekken 5

My god yes.

Also, most of the bosses in Odin Sphere.
if just being really annoying then i'd say the final boss of MadWorld, he was far too easy

 

[lSHaDoW-FoXl]

I'd say anyone in Dynasty Warriors. They're easy as fuck, but they always have five times your Life. I say it's cheap because I think Koei should focus fix up the A.I instead of making them only stronger.

Beating them doesn't feel awesome either. I'm never given the feeling - 'Wow, I had an epic fight with Lu Bu' but more of the 'For fuck sakes, these guys are so god damn easy to kill but they take forever.'
