The final boss is never the hardest boss, is it?

Final Fantasy Tactics. The game leveled up with you, except the storyline. You want to play random encounters? Be prepared to heal your ass often. You want to beat the game's story? Get above level 50 and you'll probably breeze through the final stages.

How about guitar hero world tour on expert vocals? Final gig in story mode has some songs that were, at least for me, insanely difficult (I'm looking at you, Blondie).

the fucking Eye of Sauron in LotR: The Third Age.

Isn't Frodo supposed to have dealt with him? Why the hell did my party of dumb misfits go to the top of his tower and fight him? It makes no sense, even in a game of complete bullshit nonsense

The final boss from Prototype was definitely the fucking hardest! It's the one that made me break the RB on my 360 controller!
This just reminded me of the boss Ive seen no one mention yet that I broke my right button on...

Why oh why has no one mentioned Seth from Street Fighter 4??!?!?!?!?

Also, Fable 2 boss must be the hardest one, ever.
Yea, I could never beat that guy...

I had to replay the game a few times to get the correct skills and weapons to defeat him, and even then I had to have my younger brother read me the strategy guide while walking me through the fight, eventually I was able to down him though. Apparently magic was the way to, glad I spent the whole game leveling it up, made the whole experience worth while to take him down using every magic skill I had acquired.

By far the hardest boss to defeat, curse you ninja!

I agree with Vergil3 being probably the hardest challenge in DMC3. If we're counting the entire final confrontation as the "final boss" of God of War 1, then it definitely qualifies here (the clone fight). If we're just talking about the very final fight, it still nearly qualifies, as IMO the clones are really the only thing in GoW1 harder than Ares2.

The first Ratchet and Clank: without the RYNO, Drek is the toughest foe in the game for me, by a considerable margin, as during my first playthrough I basically had to resort to Tesla Claw'ing him, firing off wild Devastator shots and hoping some would connect, and using the PDA to refill ammo for both weapons (oh, and mines in the final section; can't forget the mines). Ugh. He'd be easier with the latter games' controls, though.

Prototype, as mentioned earlier, probably qualifies.

Resident Evil 5's final boss qualifies for me in co-op mode, but probably not single-player.

I lost to that thing my first time partially because I was simply not expecting it. At all. What the hell.

A lot of times I've played games where the final boss was ridiculously easy, but one I can think of where this is not the case is Metroid Prime's final boss.
I absolutely remember that beast. I remember it being murderously difficult, but what I remember more (and will always remember somewhat shamefully) is that while it was actually much harder, it only took me two tries while the Adult Sheegoth took me four tries to kill.
You may now call me a shitty gamer for being owned by the Adult Sheegoth.

As for a game where the final boss is the hardest, Castlevania: SotN and AoS stand out in my mind. AoS's final boss just had a ludicrous amount of damage output, and augmented that difficulty by having a second stage and by stealing all of your souls at the beginning of the fight. And no one try to tell me that Galamoth was harder than Dracula in SotN "because he has 9999 hp", because I have less difficulty fighting him on the FLOOR (instead of using either of the two the stun-lock tricks) than I do fighting endgame Drac.

I think Bioshock's final boss is a lot harder than any of the mini-bosses, with the addenum that none of them are frustratingly unbeatable (largely because Bioshock isn't really "about" the boss fights. Although Dr Steinmann still remains one of my favorite videogame villains ever.)
If you thought Fontaine was hard, then I have two words for you: electric gel. If you have three full tanks, you can stun-lock him through two-thirds of his health bar as soon as he even appears.

Cause Seth is pretty easy compared to most fighting game bosses. You have clearly not fought bosses like I-No from Guilty Gear or Rugal Bernstein from the King of Fighters series....dear god Rugal Bernstein x-x

I think the idea is that you you worked your ass off to get this far you should be able to complete them game rather then fight the boss 50 times and either give up or go on gamefaqs.


FF10 is a good example: Zombie Attack, Phoenix Down, Congratulations.

I can't really think of one that was the hardest tbh.

Golden Sun had a tough last boss and so did Golden Sun 2 (that dragon was nasty) but they had a few extra bosses in there and one was so tough, I had to use all my summons on him within the first couple of turns just to beat him.
i swear that doesn't work... i've beaten both Golden sun 1 and Golden sun 2 practically 100% (theres nothing to gauge it on, but i have beaten all the bosses and gotten all the Djinn), and i remember Dullahan... heck, even deadbeard, having so much health that it took me more than half an hour to beat them, with characters at level 99. i just don't see how you could beat them by only using summons, as using Summons reset your Djinn and thus weaken your characters... sorry for calling you out like that, but i just believe that you are exaggerating.
Only the way to 99!? Damn dude, I don't even think I came that close to those levels lol. And trust me, it works. After ten failed attempts at facing him, and losing terribly, I looked at my Golden Sun guild (for both games) and that was the best strat. It's a realll long shot as your characters all have to summon their level 4 summons, with both parties. You're have to sacrifice your first party and hopefully your second amount of summons will kill him.

trust me, it really works.
2 parties... damn, i forgot about that. that probably would work actually. sorry man :p
yeah, its a massive grind getting up to that level, but once you're there, nothing stands much of a chance :D

KOTOR I

Malek was easily the toughest bady in that game.
Break all of his health leeches during Master Knight Speed duration, and he's a freaking pussy cat. Beat him down in 10 seconds.

I'd have to say though, every boss in FFXIII is piss annoying. Especially after Chapter 10, when everything has enough HP to mimic global wealth in real life. <_<
