Not entirely sure. I remember being little and having the first boss of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes stump me so bad I put it down and never played it again for a whole year.
Flashing forward to something more recent, the first time I fought Mankar Camoran in TES IV: Oblivion I was drastically underpowered due to a horrible character build and equipment set. Shamefully, I had to turn it to easy.

I have four, and to be fair they're pretty tame in comparison, and I did eventually beat them, it just took a while. The final Darth Vader fight in Force Unleashed on the hardest difficulty, not because he was hard, but his fucking health DID NOT GO DOWN, and then he'd hit me with some bullshit unblockable attack. Deadpool in Wolverine on the hardest difficulty, that fuckers health didn't go down either, that took me a long fucking time to do. Legate Lanius again because of his health, and running out of ammo I didnt think to turn the difficulty down to easy. And finally the final boss on DMC4 on any difficulty harder than normal, because the only way you can beat him is by blocking at the exact right time, theres literally about a second in which u need to block, in the end I just used Holy Waters on him, it pissed me off that much. Special mention goes to Nightmare Train on Tekken 6...fuck that level, seriously, just fuck it.
I just could never be arsed to get all the Djinn. Call me lazy, I won't deny it XDSenaro said:I would normally agree to this, but I finally decided to challenge Dullahan. Stupid Djinn Storm...just like the Doom Dragon.Redlin5 said:Respect the Doom Dragon.
[HEADING=2]Respect. The Doom Dragon.[/HEADING]
1st Alma in Ninja Gaiden xbox on higher difficulties.
Also, Nero vs Dante in DMC on Dante Must Die, not really that hard to beat (once you get to DMD you can beat him easily), but it's really hard to beat him with STYLE. Cheap shotgun blast BAM there goes two style ranks.

I hear there are harder shmups out there, to be fair. And, say, Demons' Souls might be harder. Never played it.Rabid Toilet said:
Sephiroth proud mode on KH2... that's a funny story. A friend had trouble beating him, so he asked me for help. Except I had never played KH before. Four hours later, Sephiroth was down. I'm still not sure how that happened.
That they are. One of the appeals of the series, really, that sets it apart from other shmups - really nice-looking, elaborate patterns rather than "here, just have some more bullets."Syntax Error said:
Also, really? I kinda thought the double-play thing was a good deal more impressive than beating Yukari. On the other hand, I've never played Ikaruga (plan to some day, though), so I may be way off.
The flashbacks, oh dear lord the flashbacks... NO! I don't want to go back there, you cant make meeeee!!genamp said:
Ehem.
I can't beat Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts 1. I just can't do it. Bastarding Sephiroth.
The God Dragon in Demon Souls. It was pure luck if you get through it or not. Almost every move he has is an insta-kill, unless you have the right armor then the moves only take you down to half health.
All I can say is that I never thought I could swear so much at a game before I played Demon Souls.

My mind goes to the hard games. Demons Souls, and stuff like that. But, I think the trophy goes to the first hard boss of the modern generation of games; Phantom from Devil May Cry! When you encounter him, you've had so little opportunity to advance Dante's abilities. Maybe you were able to buy a green orb. Perhaps another rune for when Dante goes into Demon mode. Working with so little, Phantom smacked the crap out of Dante, requiring you the player to skill up in a real hurry. If you didn't have what it took to beat The Phantom at the time, the rest of the game was going to demolish you. It was a trial, almost litterly, by fire.
I might have been exaggerating... Still tho, if this doesn't impress you, you aren't human:Cogwheel said:

Ah yes, lava scorpion-spider combo beat the everloving shit out of you. If you look up "wake-up-call boss" in the dictionary, chances are, you'll see a picture of him.Ellen of Kitten said:
Oh yes, definitely. I've seen it before. Like I said, it's probably a fair bit better than what I managed. I mean, it's not like I got a landslide victory or anything like that - I rarely manage to end the level with anything more than one life and one bomb.Syntax Error said:
