What was the longest boss fight you ever had?

[Not-here-anymore]

Anyone else play Prototype? No? Well let me tell you that before any patches or fixes came out, those three bosses were like eating gravel and glass doused in pure unadulterated evil. My total time to average each boss was about 1 to 2 hours of game play, each boss mind you.

Elizabeth Greene... That took a while to beat. Critical mass attack, run away, consume everything, repeat. 90 minutes later, you win. Unless you get hit by the insta-death attack. Then you lose. Wasn't actually that hard a boss battle, it just took ages...

Dullahan in Golden Sun 2. Fucker regenerated all of his psy points every turn, about 200 health, and had an attack that would kill 3/4 of your party every time he used it. Oh, and he could take away all of your djinn every time he got bored.
Doom Dragon, same game. Still had the djinn removal thing, and had a truly monstrous amount of health. Took about 2 hours to beat, most of that time spent healing my party...

 

[thespianicism]

The archdemon in DA:O. Mind you, I have not played many games. My first playthrough, I didn't use the ballistas and just failed all around. It took me four or five attempts, about a half hour each, to beat it. I think the last time took about 45 minutes.

 

[rancher of monsters]

If multiple try and fails count, Sephiroth from KH2. I Kept at it for about... 6 hours... before I decided to do it cheap. Ran right into his fire pillar attack and casted reflect.

I lost some of the best days of my summer to that bastard. And even when I won I was down to a single hit worth of health, striking him a fraction of a second before he killed me.

Queen Bean in Superstar Saga

 

[Dana22]

Pandemonium Warden in FFXI takes 18 hours to beat.

 

[Adamc-mh]

Mind you this was my first metal gear solid game but...... I found Vamp a right pain in the arse in MGS4 just the fact that I probably killed him like 20 times till I figured you had to inject him with the syringe.

 

[Count Igor]

Maybe not the longest one, but the boss at the end of Circle of Magi quest (Dragon Age Origins)

My God, I hated that.....thing

Pcha! I thought he was easy.
Surprisingly, the Corrupted Spider Queen was kinda a mini-boss and I found it far harder.

 

[Cgull]

Longest for me would be the boss on the boat on Resi 4, simply because both my friend and I managed to not notice the big laser you can use, meaning we took the damn thing down using pistols and whatever else we could find. Took forever.

 

[Kasper Gundersen]

First colossus in "Shadow of the Colossus", I was a fool for not listening to the instructions... I tried to kill it with arrows. About 1.5 hours in, I finally used my sword, and it took like 4 min... needless to say, I facepalmed myself...

Not to forget about Broodmother... God i hate her!!!

 

[linwolf]

Final Fantasy IX, tried fighting Ozma at low level that battle took hours and I lost in the end.

 

[hopeneverdies]

Dullahan from Golden Sun without summon rushing. Over an hour and a half of attacking, healing, reviving, and switching out characters.

 

[USSR]

Certainly wasn't the longest, but one of my longest was Mother from prototype.

Anyone remember that..?

 

[Lou]

Baal from Diablo 3.. God damn. I hate that boss so much.

Ehhh...I don't think Diablo III is out yet....

Baal from Diablo 3.. God damn. I hate that boss so much.

I don't know if you meant this or not...but Diablo 3 isn't out yet. Just saying.

I'm sorry if that wasn't obvious,

But that's typo.

Don't get your panties in a twist, ladies.

Gaah, I just forgot about that ¬.¬

You know, they did such a good job with other bosses in the game, the ArchDemon was pretty un-endboss worthy.

 

[ZombieGenesis]

Longest would probably be Virgil (final boss) from Devil May Cry 3... the original, un-watered down version of the game. On Dante Must Die mode.
That guy hits you even once and you're pretty much down and dead! You pick and pick at his massive HP bar, and then he just turns demon and regenrates it TWICE as fast as you can bring it down. Even after memorising all of his moves it still took me somewhere in the region of three hours to beat him.

 

[zidine100]

persona 2 innocent sin (not eternal punishment that boss was a cake walk in comparason)

2 hours, underleveled with week arse personas, and if the boss felt like it he could quite literary wipe out my entire party in one turn (he got three attacks per turn i think), Lets just say fighting him for two hours with the possibility of that was not by best idea, im just glad i stocked up before hand due to the gambling.

The End - Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater

Why? Cos I was too afriad to sit in first person view with the Mic for too long to try and get him...
Eventually I got bored and mined THE HELL out of the Armoury and surrounding area with Claymores and TNT in the first area...sat in the corner and used my mic...when he appeared to kill me, the Mines got him first, Lots of rinse and repeat...then I got bored and chased him with a M911A1...He Died...

Time = 5 Hours 20 minutes

This became even more frustrating when I fought The Fury and beat him in what seemed like 2 and a half Minutes...

 

[bpm195]

Reichsman in City of Heroes on max difficulty with half a team that just outright wasn't built for the fight. Spent nearly 2 hours on a fight that would normally be well under 5 minutes. It literally would have been faster to stop have somebody get on a debuffer then run the whole thing again TWICE.
