OH, sorry. I thought you were talking the entire game when you said ebony and ivory could kill everything, my bad. I'm getting use to everyone ragging on Devil May Cry, so when you said everything could die from just ebony and ivory I got a little pissed. I still like Heaven or Hell mode for this thread, but there are some bosses in that version that are difficult as hell to beat because of their speed(see virgil), yet another reason to use royal guard(fully leveled of course). The thread was about the cheapest boss, and virgil's speed in Heaven or Hell mode was unfair murder.Samurai Goomba said:
But can he outrun a Quicksilver'd bullet? He can block them, but all that does is trigger his teleport, which you should be able to Quicksilver dodge and blast him.jboking said:
I guess if Royal Guard is your style, use that, but I always figured Quicksilver was a little more useful for HoH Mode. Especially if you cheat with Super Sparta. And really, HoH is such a gimmick difficulty I don't see any reason not to cheat. DMD is a much better test of a player's skill than HoH.
The easy cheap boss of all time has to be Igglanova, the first boss in Phantasy Star 4. As long as there's a spare spot for him to spawn a minion, that's what he'll do. As long as you get Chaz and Hahn to Level 3 before facing him (which is dead-set easy peasy), you can just get them to pick off the minions each round.If you're patient, you can rocket up really, really quickly, making the next few hours of the game a breeze. But only the next few hours - this game is hard.
As for nasty cheap, where do I even start?
Stringy Pete the ghost pirate in Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. That ***** can and WILL wipe the floor with even a full party of level 50 characters unless you're very clever or use some spells that are usually worthless.
The King of Shadows in NWN2. Oh, that fight is evil.
All of the bosses in Final Fantasy Tactics. First game I've ever given up on out of sheer impatience and frustration.
Prism and Questzalcoatl from Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana. If you've played the game, you know my pain, and if you haven't, you're lucky.

I hated Greene as well as i kept using the sword arm strike on her and so many times, as i was falling down upon her, the colour would drain from the screen and i would get one hit killed by her nuke attack with no means of escape.badgersprite said:
Tried it...doesn't work too well.Samurai Goomba said:
Yes, but skill and reflex are two entirely different things. HoH mode is a place to hone in on speed. DMD mode certainly takes skill, but I never found the bosses in DMC3 to be cheap until I started playing on HoH.
Final Fantasy X
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE BOSS IN THE ARENA.
The ones that are some combination of all the monsters in an area, or all of that type of monster. After about 2 hours, I beat the giant black bird one. Then the power went out.

Haha, never looked at it that way before...SilentStranger said:
I actually found her quite easy, it was the prick at the end that was cheap.
Why is he so hard to beat after all the other bosses etc you've absorbed? Surely, after one of the bosses, beating them and taking them in'd make you Uber powerful and that thing no match for you.
The boss battles in Prototype are usually only tough in enclosed spaces, where the enemies are fast and aggressive enough to really keep them on their toes, and there's always a cheap way to take them out. The trick is FINDING the cheap way. The end boss was immensely frustrating for me until I realized the military will take his health down without your help, to the point that a couple devastator attacks will easily finish him. But this is hard to figure out since "let the military do everything" is not a strategy used elsewhere in the game.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Killzone: Liberation's Cobar, and the boss in the DLC are infuriating. They're not cheap so much for their tactics, but for the conditions you're under when you fight them.
You've got Cobar, in a walking tank that, at any given time, is probably firing either machine guns or a half-dozen grenades at you, and can take a hell of a lot more damage than you can. You have to slowly pick it apart. Your only cover are crates which are ALL destructible, and you have very little room to move. Dodge the wrong way, lose all your cover, or run out of ammo at the wrong time, and you're in deep shit. He also launches mines which CHASE you, and he does not stop shooting while they do this. Some bosses would at least have the courtesy to wait and see if the spider-mine thingies worked, but Cobar is an asshole, as evidenced by his constant taunts throughout the whole battle.
This is not as bad as the DLC boss, though. He similarly uses excessive amounts of firepower without letting up for a second, and while his armory is somewhat smaller, but he makes up for it with an unlimited stream of elite infantry trying to flush you out of cover and into their boss' line of sight. I still haven't beaten this one.
