The undefeated video game Boss

[Casimir_Effect]

My tactic was to get one guy loaded up on every potion buff I could then Benny Hill it around the place while everyone tried to kill him, dodging positions of known traps as I went. Needless to say, it wasn't a great tactic. But it eventually paid off when combined with that other well known strategy - 'Summon a metric fucktonne of things'.

Amazing how useful that tactic is in lots of games.

Heh. Although it became less useful in BGII when they limited the number of things you could summon to 5. Granted, in ToB this wasn't an issue, seeing as by then the things I could summon consisted of Planetars, Devas, greater elementals and demons, but it was a bit limiting in the main game. Still found it hugely useful for some of the tougher fights in Watcher's Keep.

The was something great about giving Branwen a load of summon undead spells and seeing 6 appear every time. Add to that the old Wand of Monster Summoning and you could create a small army. But in BG2 the individual units were a lot better. The Skeleton Warriors were great throughout most of the game - against Koa-Toa troops with spears they were especially useful. And if you didn't mind going through the Protection From Evil rigmarole then the summon demon spells were good as well. A Pit Fiend could hold it's own against most things in that game. The only thing that's always disappointed me in BG2 (& NWN2, ID1&2) is the Summon Monster spell. At low levels it's so damn pathetic. You summon a boar, or a wolf. Fuck-a-doo, that'll soak up some damage. The elemental summoning it does later is great, but there's just such a disparity between levels 1-5 and then everything after. I don't expect the spell to be great at low levels but I do expect it to be useful at the time. Nothing was ever beaten up or even intimidated by my summoned pygmy shrew.

Not sure really, think i've beaten most boss fights that have come my way.

I remember how tough False King was in Demon's Souls, he made me rage so hard that I stopped playing for about a week but I did go back and finally defeat the bastard.

[small]Edited because I remember I did actually manage to complete FFX final fight once, but that was years ago and I forgot.[/small]

Look at my display picture.

BOOHOOOOO :'(

The barrel...that red barrel...Sonic 3, carnival zone...and that RED SPINNING BARREL!

Haunted me for 5 years...before I got internet.

The final boss from Bayonetta. It has this insta-kill move if you're in its wide area of affect. You could have had no damage done to you, at the last inkling of health on this boss and you can still die instantly from it. I'll need to try again soon so I can check that game off my list.

hahaha, I used both those tactics. I also lured his companions away to slaughter them before Sarevok noticed. Still took me ages though, Serevok could kill all my party members in about 10 seconds if I gave him half a chance.

The haste boots you nabbed from the assassin earlier in the game also helped (although that was a tricky boss fight in itself). His name escapes me....

He is a cheating wee bastard. I always get annoyed at boss fights like that where there is no possible way your character could go toe-to-toe with the boss, forgetting about parties or allies. It's not so much a problem in stuff like Oblivion or Fable, where you can always try a new tactic. But in something like BG, if you're playing a warrior type then all you can do is click to attack then be ready with potions. And your PC in BG can not win that fight, even if he is at max level with all the best equipment and buffed with potions and spells. Sarevok just wins. Maybe if you use a bow for a bit and get very lucky then you'll have a chance, but otherwise the battle is so damn one-sided. It's my only real complaint about the BG games: Sarevok will kick your ass 1-on-1; Irenicus will kick your ass 1-on-1; and Melissan will do horrific things to your ass 1-on-1.
Torment gets some hate because of the ways you can take down the Transcendescent One; how you don't have to fight him. I love it because it gives you the option, but the fight has also been perfectly balanced such that you can win it after choosing the dickish ending (you fight him alone) or the 'good' ending (you fight with a party member to help). I've done it with a single character and, while my Nameless One was very powerful by that point (I'd completed the Bronze Sphere quest), it felt like a close fight - as it also does when you have a companion to help.

bowser from the first paper Mario he can heal himself on whenever he pleases (which is all the time)

FFXIII's Vercingetorix. My entire party is max level equipped with the best weapons and accessories and it will always kill me when it has about 20% health left. Or it will cast Doom when I've just spent 30 minutes hacking away at it. Curse him! Healing himself, removing status effects, becoming invulnerable for periods of time and spamming heavy area effect magic. Crazy annoying.

Maybe I'll try again and cheat by poisoning him and stalling for time...

Jacquio in the first Ninja Gaiden. Four flames. Four flames is all it takes to knock you all the way back to level 6-1, less if you took any hits to 'The Masked Devil'. These flames adjust themselves mid-flight (think Dr.Wily in Megaman 7's projectiles) and are difficult to dodge even if you don't even try to jump and hit him. I don't think I'll ever get to his third phase, never mind beat the game.

Sure, this guy managed to beat it but I'd ragequit around the 3rd continue,which wouldve been really soon, or just give up when i see the army of purple

I cant believe it took 171 posts before someone posted a shmup , I'm new here and am a big shmups fan. I know its a very niche genre but I expected atleast one or two ppl on this forum to enjoy them with it been an gaming forum and all.

Anyway if youre talking about hard as nails bosses there's tons of them on the old classic arcade games, just crack out the latest verion of Mame and it,s corisponding romset and away you go.

As for shmup boss that boss in that video (Mushimisama Futari on the hardest difficulty, by Cave BTW) is a toughy. Although that isnt the last boss as there is another striaght after beating that one. Unfortunatly the guy who made that you tube video couldnt show it because he didnt beat the boss in the video, instead he just credit fed he's way though, to properlly beat the boss you cant use a continue.

Many shmups are like this especially shmups by Cave. As most of their shmups have a 2nd loop of the game (where the game starts from stage 1 but is much harder) or if the game has no extra loop then an extra True Last Boss is added which are generally very hard to beat. To get to any of this extra content though you must beable to beat the original game and not use a continue which is called a 1CC.

While the boss in the video is hard, Hibachi the hidden "True Last Boss" from the DonDonPachi (DDP) series is harder. Which to encounter him in each of the games you must beat the games using a single credit in not one loop but 2!

Here is a video of someone beating the Death Label mode from the PS2 version of DDP DOJ which is basically a 2 loop boss rush with the stages cut out. Hibachi is the bee boss at the end (both as the big and small version) What makes this version so bleeding hard is that there are 2 small Hibachi's to fight instead of the single boss in the original arcade version of the game. This death label/ boss rush version is so difficult that it took 7 years! before anyone could beat it (1CC).

This vid shows the the 2nd loop of DOJ's Death Label goto 7:00 for the hibatchi fight (the player MON doesnt beat it in this vid but the one where he does has crappy picture quality

[Bara_no_Hime]

Which Video Game bosses did you find undefeatable (or so damn frustrating that you wouldn't continue after the umpteenth time of having your ass handed to you)?

Final boss (final form) of Vagrant Story.

**sigh** I never could beat that game.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

The last boss for Dante and then Nero in Devil May Cry 4 on Hell and Hell. Not quite impossible but you have 3 lifes and 1 hit and you're dead. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fucking Hard

 

[Talon_Skywarp]

God Hands Final Boss.

Spent three days trying. Finally got him to half energy...then he went Super Saiyan. I still have nightmares
