In MGS4, during the Wolf boss, I crawled under a tank with my new sniper and shot the boss in the head until it died. I doubt it was the way the fight was intended.

I beat some of the puzzles in the original Portal after adopting the party escort submission position by climbing on stacks of chairs to reach platforms rather than using cubes.

In TES Oblivion, of course getting full chameleon with all the stuff, and basically being invincible because nobody could see you. but that got boring real fast...

or in Guitar Hero 3, the final battle against Lou, get the whammy bar attack, wait for a certain moment where he had a ton of notes after eachother, and he wouldn't be able to hit any of them, resulting in a REALLY fast win.

Not exactly a boss or a puzzle, but I remembering skipping about half of the Cartographer level on Halo CE. I accidently went to the place that unlocks the main building, and then accidently fell off a ledge and missed having to fight about half the enemy force. Good days.

Not really a boss but in Fallout New Vegas I went straight to the strip after doing the starting area missions, there's a way filled with deathclaws but you can just about sneak around them on the cliffs.

Not really a boss, but I did once accidentally kill a UNATCO guard by dropping my GEP Gun on his head from the top of a building...

Magicka-when I fought the orc king(or general, i dont remember) he ended up outside of the map and died instantly. It was hilarious.

As it turns out in OoT: The Biggoron sword is long enough that you can go toe to toe with Ganon and mash attack. You're too close for him to hit you somehow and your attack still hits his tail.
The Biggoron sword ANYTHING in OoT. It is hell to get, but it kicks everything's ass.
Notably: You can stab shadow link underneath his sheild, and Bongo Bongo goes down after two spin attacks (which you can do stunning hhim only once.)
Also in OoT, Pushing the Amoeba boss into a corner. Too easy.

Then there's magicka, where the tried and true Steam, Steam, Arcane, Lightning, Lightning will take care of pretty much everything.

The Nihilanth from the original Half Life. Used the magnum on the crystals before the fighting properly started, bounced up to one of the platforms and hid behind a rock where I could see him but he couldn't see me, then emptied weapons into his face until he died. No teleporting, no flinging myself over his head, no health or armour lost.
I was disappointed because someone told me he was tricky so I went through the whole of the rest of the base using the bee gun thing and saving all of my other ammunition for the final fight.

Using a combination of the Shadow Operative (turns you invisible) and Chain Shot (marks targets like Dead Eye in Red Dead Redemption) in Alpha Protocol can end pretty much every boss fight in under a minute.
So... the sam fisher strategy
Yeah pretty much, only instead of hiding in the shadows, I'm "hiding" while running straight at them to instantly line up 6 headshots with an overpowered pistol.
Chain Shot (6 slow motion critical headshots) and then brilliance (resets cooldowns) then Chain Shot again for a total of 12 instant critical headshots, I'm sorry was that a boss? I didn't notice.


Also Final Fantasy X-2. The item "Catnip" makes characters do 9,999 damage with every hit when their health is critical, combine with gunner's trigger happy ability (How many times you can press a shoulder button in a short space of time is how many times your character attacks) for complete abuse of the system.

Crackdown1. The street races (think it was download content). Got out of the car at start line and built roadblocks from the movable scenery. The opposition came around and got caught in the mess and I blew them all to crap. Finished the race at my leisure although with a slightly dirty feeling.

In alpha protocol when Brayko tries to disco teleport, punch him. Dont worry about having any points in martial arts, just punch him over and over until he dies cause so long as you keep it up he aint going anywhere. If you do have points in martial arts punch every boss to death because its hilarious.

Algol on the top level of the tower challenge in Soul Calibur 4

He was impossible to fight normally so you just crouch on the side of the arena and he just jumps out himself :D

I actually discovered a fun little trick while playing Dragon Age.

In the part where you have to climb the mountain to get those magic ashes, there's a bell that summons a dragon. As far as I'm aware, this is the first time you're able to fight a true dragon in the entire game.

My team was VASTLY unprepared for this fight, as I'm assuming it's supposed to be optional. Anyways, I was a mage, and in less than a few seconds, my entire team was crumpled at the dragon's feet. Thought for sure I was dead, but then I realized something: The dragon can only attack at long range, and can't move. And there was a very convienient ledge nearby, so I ducked behind it, which meant the dragon's fire couldn't hurt me, and basically chipped away at it's health for about 15 minutes with spells.

Cheap? Yes. But that fight gave me a SHIT ton of experience, and the loot was sweet.
I actually did something very similar against a rancor I wasn't supposed to be able to kill in KOTOR.
Also, if you give me the power of flight or teleportation in a game, I WILL find a way to use it for evil. No exceptions.
Also, spellcheck doesn't recognize "teleportation". Must remedy this.

Sonic Adventure:

Playing as Tails in the Windy Valley and practically flying the entire level in less than a minute.

Or playing as sonic and fighting the egg hornet, homing attack if tapped fast enough (And by fast I mean more than once every second) You can beat that boss in 26 seconds or so.

In Ninja Gaiden 2 there was a water-dragon boss, and instead of entering the water to be mauled by Ghost-Fish and fight against the camera angles, AND THEN FINALY the actual boss itself, I always just stood on the tiny platform you were on at the start of the boss fight and blasted him to death with arrows, most of his attacks couldnt reach you and the ones that did were easyily dodged by jumping.
huh thats how I beat him as well you mean its not the proper way?

I like going back and abusing new tricks in games ive played many times like killing emerald weapon in one shot with barrett overflow trick (forget vincents I dont have the time to spare)

Baldurs gate 2 timestop and mindflayer is awesome pretty much kill anything actually baldurs gate has loads of tricks.

Valkyria chronicles there is one mission where two tanks appear along with infinitely respawning soldiers after a certain checkpoint, could not do it so instead next time I just positioned lancers behind the tanks spawn point trip the checkpoint and boom two dead tanks mission end.

In 'Pyramid Escape' a WC3 Custom map. theres a mini game in which you run away from a giant Beetle. BUT if you stand in the right corner he walks past you and you don't die.

Pretty Funny actually
