What battles have you found an easy way around?

[HippySecond]

Champs of Norath, when fighting the bosses of each zone who tend to kill you in a few seconds, just equip a bow and plink away from the other side of the room, usually from behind some rocks/a pillar etc seemed like each boss fight had a great place to stand and plink at them without them being able to hit you, worked for almost every boss fight.

fighting that white brute in halo 2.i found some glitch when you have to protect the scarab tank in the banshees. i just slipped my banshee through the door,and banshee bombed the dude.

When fighting the Gun Shop owner in Dead Rising, i found it easier to kill the convicts first then take the big gun. The only hard bit was picking it up everytime i dropped it.

I always stocked up on weaponry before he showed up. When I first started and had few pockets, I'd grab a couple pistols from the zombie mall security. Open one door, and stand slightly to the side of the closed one, so that when you aim, your pistol is on the inside of the store. Afterwards just aim for the head.

Even easier, take those display things in the store, and use them as moveable cover, and then tiny chainsaw him.

Dark Messiah: might and magic. There is an orc final boss that was realy giving me trouble. For those of you who don't know Dark Messiah: think of it as oblivion where the physics influence the npc's as well... and you can pick things up and throw them, or just kick an enemy into a trap or canyons.

However, with this particular boss, there where no obvious spikes or canyons for me to make light work quick of this guy. So, after trying to beat him numerous times 'oblivion style' (block, chop, block) and utterly failing, I tried to look around to see what I could use to get the odds on my side.

The only interactive object I found was a small rock, but I figured, what the heck. Picked it up, threw it at the boss, and, in spite of what you would think, the muscular, 140 or so kilogram orc fell like I just threw a anvil at him. At this point, all I had to do was stand over him and repeatedly stab him with my daggers, since that attack would throw him back to the ground.

So, that's how half an hour of trying and failing finally went down in an all not-so-epic 30 second battle, thanks to the world heaviest small rock.

 

[Frybird]

Well, in GTA IV you can end almost every mission that involves killing someone that looks to be ending in a long pursuit with your trusty RPG (there are free rockets on a rock in the sea north of Algonquin)...but where's the fun in that

I win. Adrenaline rush decapitation. In and out, quick and painless. Messy though.

Very, very messy.

Come to think of it, an Adrenaline Rush is also how I killed that first giant spider... And the second giant spider... And a third guy I don't even remember anymore. Dear lord! Adrenaline is godlike!

 

[Blayze]

That FEMA guy in Deus Ex. He runs towards you as soon as you enter the room, initiating dialogue just before fighting you. Or at least, he *tries* to. People like myself fire a rocket at him as soon as we enter the room, chunking him instantly as soon as the conversation starts.

Sniper Wolf in Metal Gear Solid. As in, the original and best.

The second time you fight her, there's a small hill just to your right. Go prone behind it, lean out and she can't hit you. Proceed to shoot her every time she moves, and victory ensues.

 

[Mark Blackmod]

In Oddworld Stranger's Wrath, the second boss will chase you around. I was trying to run away, so I ran to the exit which happened to be situated at the top of a large cliff. Although I couldn't leave, he was right behind me, so I jumped off and he followed...well in that game you don't take falling damage directly, only damage to your stamina, so he died and I was mildly inconvenienced.

Rome: Total War & Medieval 2:Total war; besiege a city with one or two units of light cavalry. When the enemy comes to get you with their whole army you either run around with them for ten minutes and repeats ever turn until the city surrenders, or lure the enemy army off with one cavalry unit and storms the city square with the other. Easy peasy, not as fun as slaughtering the enemy army of course.

In the final battle on Twilight Princess

Spoiler

if you pull out the fishing rod, Ganondorf will just stand there and look at it, allowing you to (more) easily finish him off.

 

[Break]

I found out that in Assassin's Creed you can beat the master within five seconds.
Instead of attacking him and letting him teleport all over the place; just select hidden blade, when the battle starts grab him, throw him to the ground, and assassinate him.

Master: MWAHAHAHAHA- *gets thrown to the ground*
Altiar: *stabs the Master*
Master: The student is not supposed to defeat the master.
Altiar: It took five seconds. I hardly call you a "master".

Wait, wasn't that what you were supposed to do? Countering with the hidden blade kills everyone. Kind of weird that they give you the ultimate weapon after half an hour, but hey.

Jack of Blades in Fable was hilarious. You beat up his cronies, slap him around a bit, and when he starts flying, hold down the Thunder button. You amass so much blue potion that you can just zap him for twenty minutes until his health bar runs out.

Alot of GTA4

sniper rifles solve many, many problems.

Guards? sniper

Gauntlet? Sniper

He runs? Sniper before he sees you.

solved.

yeah all the gta's were like that

in gta san andreas, you friend was the molotov cocktail. i got all the gang land using those things, they'd come at me, i'd just lob like 10 of them, problem solved

it wasn't easy, as in quick, just easy as in not much else needed to be done, the last boss in conan could be taken out in his human form but standing in front of him, jumping, double hit, block, rinse, repeat

 

[star_topology]

Vanish + X-Zone

 

[SteinFaust]

any target in mercenaries. you can use either the anti-armor rifle or the portable airstrike.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

The Fear in MGS3, least challenging boss ever. Thermal Goggles + Repeat Shotgun Blasts = Very Unhappy Boss.

 

[Wargamer]

Nah, the easiest way to beat The Fear is to shoot a poison frog / mushroom, then sit and wait for him to get hungry. He'll come and eat it, and while he's vomiting you can shoot him!

Best of all, if you're going for a Knock-out, throwing up causes him to lose stamina, so even if you don't shoot him he'll be weaker than when he ate the food!

Do this a couple of times, and you'll cakewalk it.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

See that still takes more effort than just shooting him out of a tree with thermal goggles, and then continually shooting him while he writhes on the ground. He has no invincibility period.

 

[tiredinnuendo]

Pretty much any "boss" in Army of Two. Half of them I didn't even realize were bosses.

[SteinFaust]

lol yeah once you get the code for that grenade rifle its pretty much over
