The most bullcrap boss/es.

[Taunta]

The most bullcrap boss in most recent memory has to be mothereffing Ghirahim in Skyward Sword.

Spoiler

He is literally the first boss in the game, and one of the hardest. Especially since defeating him relies on your sword skills alone, which I hadn't really developed yet, just having picked up the game.

In the first fight with him, he will literally grab your sword and throw it away from you, giving you some bullshit about "not telegraphing your attacks". I was sitting there having my ass handed to me on a silver platter like well wtf does that mean? And the best part? You get to fight him two more times!

I like how Nintendo's answer to criticism about Zelda being too easy is to make it unforgivably hard.

The last fight with Vergil in DMC3 is a pain, especially on the higher difficulty levels. That series' bosses throw some cheap shots but this guy is made of cheap shots.

Can't forget Seymour Flux and Mortiorchis, either. Seymour uses Lance of Atrophy on party member, afflicting them with the zombie status. Mortiorchis then casts full-life on them: They die. Yunalesca was pretty tough, too, if I remember correctly.

Touhou Project.

That's on NORMAL difficulty.

All of my hate!!!

That boss...It was one of the few things that made me even come close to quitting a game. Such bull.

Grave lord Nito from Dark souls.

I made him my ***** with the greatsword Sif's soul makes. With a strong divine weapon (I like polearms, the halberd is a great choice though it is beasty if you go for a fire version instead and make a stronger divine weapon later) you can kill the skeleton assistants easily. Once they are dead, Nito is a push-over.

The Demon Firesage is the one I hate the most (though I never fought Ceaseless Discharge without the pit trick). His attacks have a shockwave that is ridiculously hard to dodge and does a lot of damage even through a 95% dr shield.

IGNORE THIS.

 

[Fleetfiend]

The very first boss, two minutes into DMC3.

Holy. Hell. Only not really; just hell.

Still can't beat that stupid reaper/witch/demon thing.

Lu Bu in Dynasty Warriors 6, he was impossible to kill, unlike all other characters in the game he is the only one that doesn't do anything when you hit him, and kills you in return in 2 shots, so not fair.

 

[Evgeny Chernovalov]

Until I figured him out, the freaking Tower from Shadow of the Colossus (18th Colossus, i.e. the final Boss) had me literally break a controller in two!!!! Not the fight itself, but the fact that you had a split second (at best) to dodge between different rocks and crap just to get to him.

Originally thought this thread was for the stupidest bosses you had to fight, so here's that one too: Fatman from MGS2. Who rides around on freaking rollerscates in a bomb suit?

 

[Trippy Turtle]

A draugr boss guy disarmed me and had to search for 15 minutes for my Mehrunes Razor before I could finish killing him.

 

[Shining_Pyrelight]

The Lingering Spirit from Kingdom Hearts BBS. It's a "secret" optional boss, but it's easily the most infuriating thing I've ever tried killing.
It pretty much 2-hits you and most of his attacks are really hard to avoid.

Even better, he becomes a regular enemy later.

Never had much trouble with Flamelurker in Demon Souls...but good lord I hated the Maneaters. Then I got firestorm and facerolled my way through the rest of the game.

 

[Stingy Fellow]

Well I would have used a paralysis potion, but the problem was he kept knocking me away with a FUS RO DAH, and he would kill me before my mage got his lazy ass off of the floor.

Plus I was doing a pure magic run through, and I had no physical weapons. >_>

 

[Stingy Fellow]

Originally thought this thread was for the stupidest bosses you had to fight

Well it's for both, though some people have had very hard boss fights that leave you feeling hollow inside after, so there is that caveat I didn't consider, but it'll wash out the same.

I had the same issue with the tower in SoTC, and fat man made me laugh so hard, but I was just watching my friend fight him, he did seem really lackluster.

 

[Mr Companion]

Those fucking stone gargoyles in Dark Souls who defend the Undead Church's roof with such fanatical skill that I screamed "FUCK THIS!!!!" and traded the game in.

Beat those guys with a knife and no armor shield or spells (smug face) although im not saying it was easy. But that game has waaay more bullshitty bosses than those guys for example some guys called Smough and Orstein one of which can fly across the whole battlefeild and stab you without warning or fire thunderbolts through his massive ally.
Or the giant lava breathing spider witch who can blow herself up spontaneously killing you instantly without taking damage.
Or the dragon who can curse you permanently decreasing your health by half until you find a specific item that costs tons or is dropped by giant demonic clams for some reason.

I never did complete that game... didn't want to face the army of giant skeletons in the pitch black cave who fire entire spears from bows.

 

[Zen Toombs]

I very much disliked the final boss of Borderlands. Who honestly sat down to say "you know what this game needs?

Spoiler: A giant tentacle monster from nowhere."

 

[iFail69]

Beatrice in FFIX
"What you beat me? Oh, you all need to have 1hp now..."
She's still my favourite character in that game, even though she did that EVERY FIGHT.

Either that or Sakuya Izayoi from Touhou 06.
"Hey, I'm going to stop time, spawn an absolute tonne of knives around you, pointing just about everywhere, then I'll restart time and you have to dodge them."
Damn maids...

 

[moxretroero]

Dullahan, that optional boos form Golden Sun: the Lost Age. I mean, the three games' last bosses were exercises in "I've used HOW many potions?!?", but eminently beatable if you grind it out a few levels and pick up the best gear, with the fights just taking forever. Dullahan, on the other hand, just decided not to play fair. Though basically cut form the same cloth as most other "generic super-tough optional JPRG bosses" he had a few chep tricks that kept me snarling at my GBA for hours. Before I found a few guides he killed me way more than any other boss I had ever encountered up to that point.
