Bizarrely Easy Boss Fights

[Mutie]

Four Kings from Dark Souls. Iron Flesh made them a joke.

I'm simply shocked that nobody's mentioned this beauty yet...

One of the only bosses I found ridiculously easy at four years old.

These are actually two of my favorite game enders! With Lord Lucien, the final boss fight has already taken place when you take down the giant shard which has be causing havoc throughout the game; the following sequence is essentially the final cutscene, in keeping with the in-game scene which separate Fable 2 from the rest of the series. It's just most folk plain didn't get it... so we ended up with Fable 3. Eugh.

As for Old King Allant... An entire gauntlet of harrowing horrors leading you to this, a broken man possessed of power so great and corrupt that it consumer his mighty soul, leaving little more than a freakish, Lovecraftian husk which can barely move. What better finale for such a melancholic journey?

As for me, I killed Mannimarco King of Worms with a single hit on my main Oblivion file... And I wasn't exactly OP at that point, either. Talk about anti-climax... I was a hyped for a massive wizardoff!

 

[DudeistBelieve]

ending bosses of Fable 2 and 3.

Ugh, makes me think playing through them was a colossal waste of my time.

 

[BabySinclair]

Darth Nihilus in Knights of the Old Republic II

Can eat planets, but gets squashed like an ant.

Darth Malak in KOTOR I was even easier for me, though he took longer. Guardian Leap with two one-handed Master Flurries with Master Speed active meant 13 attacks before he could hit me twice, then it was just waiting for him to heal back up so I could jump at him again. Maybe I had an insane damage stat against Dark Side users (PC Yavin IV station crystal) but still... He almost killed me once?

 

[DeltaEdge]

Marluxia 2nd form from Kingdom Hearts CoM and Re:CoM. Sure, they added an extra stage to Marluxia in Re:CoM, but still he was the final stage of the final boss in CoM and he was even easier than his first form, which was just an illusion of him. That's just kind of sad. Before I got Re:CoM I convinced myself that I may have just lucked out, but then I got Re:CoM and realized that 2nd stage really was just easy as fuck.
Also, on a separate note, I can't really say that I understand all the flack that CoM/Re:CoM get. I really enjoyed those games, and I thought that the card system was very fun and fairly fluid for what it was.

 

[Zorpheus]

The Twins in the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World game. I mean, most of the bosses are easy if you have good stats, but this just takes ease to a whole new level, as they actually kill themselves. All you have to do is stand still when the two of them join hands, and throw a punch at you that sends you flying. You rebound off the edge of the screen and hit them with your body coming back, which in turn KO's them both in one hit and gives you the achievement for such!

Considering their stage is probably the hardest in the game, they really go down easy.

 

[Jimmy T. Malice]

The Moonlight Butterfly from Dark Souls was ridiculously easy compared to even the first boss, since it has very little health and only attacks with easily-dodgable magic projectiles. A few Fire Orbs took care of it.

Also, Screaming Mantis in Metal Gear Solid 4. After working out what you have to do and shooting a few FROGs, you remove all of her health by just shaking the controller.

 

[WhyBotherToTry]

Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls. I'd heard that fight talked up for so long as this rage-quit inducing torture session and I breezed through it on my first attempt.

 

[silver wolf009]

The human reaper thingymajig from ME2.

This. I just vaguely pointed my gun at it. I didn't even shoot, I just said "Bang" and it died.

I had that Nuke heavy weapon equipped at the time. Battle started and I immediately wiped out like half of the thing's health. Then about three minutes later it was dead.

"Wut?"

Well in his defense, you did jump him when he wasn't even out of the proverbial womb or even done... But yeah, he was easy.

Also, real smart. Build the giant death baby over a huge chasm. Really. Can't possibly backfire.

Wanna put spikes at the bottom of it too? You know, for bats that fall from the ceiling.

OT: I'm going to go with the two Praetorians you fight in the final level of the Marine Campaign. They WOULD be hard, if you weren't around 700 yards away, with a high powered, armor piercing sniper rifle. It's a matter of distance that decides some battles.

 

[RJ 17]

The first time you fight the Elemental Fiend of Water in Final Fantasy 2 (4)...one blast from Tellah's Lit 3 spell and he's dead.

 

[likalaruku]

Gawd, I don't remember what it was. All I remember was a difficult pre-boss battle & then the actual boss going down in 3 hits. I was so underwhelmed I can't even remember what game it was.

 

[Cavan]

You had enough money to sustain Yojimbo? You can blow your entire purse on him and he still might not do something cool

If you were particularly cheap, you could always just save and give him some meaningless small amount of gil(at the point where you're getting thousands and thousands just for winning any fight). A fair amount of the time he'd still do his stupid crazy moves, if not..reload and repeat. Also the most you use him and get him to do attacks, the more often he'll perform better attacks.

 

[Fasckira]

Too many games to list. Most recent game I completed was Lollipop Chainsaw and it practically spoon feeds you the entire way.

 

[Dark Prophet]

Atlas at the end of BioShock, my reliance on the chemical thrower and especially on electric gel totally broke that boss fight for me.
Almost every boss in Borderlands and in Borderlands 2 for that matter because I did every quest possible and was usually several levels higher.

 

[FalloutJack]

Persona 3...

Hello, Satan!
Hello, Lucifer!

Hello, Apocalypse...
Hello, Victory Cry...

Goodbye, bosses!
Goodbye, Death!
Goodbye, Nyx!
Goodbye, everything in the Tartarus basement!

(Seriously, when I fought Nyx as he went through his Arcana phases, I breezed through them all and then got him to Death, where he's suppose to be actually hard...then hit him with a Fusion Spell and dead.)

You quoted the wrong person with your snip.

 

[Raika]

The final boss of Space Marine. The engagement before the boss fight was really damn hard(you versus... six chaos marines?), but the fight itself? Seriously, it was a big quick-time event where a space marine captain punches a demon prince in the face until he explodes.

What the fuck.

I was actually going to mention Nemeroth as well. As someone who thought Space Marine was one of the best games of 2011(and easily the most underrated aside from the not-really-that-bad Duke Nukem Forever), the final boss fight, which to me amounted to a not-as-good version of the Meta Ridley showdown from Metroid Prime 3(a game I despise), was immensely disappointing, especially after how much fun the Ork Warboss was to kill.

"But I am finished with you, Ork."


Other notable examples for me include many of the bosses from the Final Fantasy series, most notably Seymour Omnis and Braska's Final Aeon from Final Fantasy X and several of the later bosses in Final Fantasy XIII. Orphan was a ***** and a half, though. Holy moly.

 

[EeviStev]

This actually skirts the definition of "boss".

Recoil on PC. The boss is a computer-brain thing. You shoot a thing to expose the brain, then shoot the brain a bunch. It doesn't attack you or respond in any way except die after you've shot all of it's surface area. Then you win the game.

For serious.

 

[MeChaNiZ3D]

Volf from Ninja Gaiden Sigma, would have taken me more time in-game to kill the minions he killed in the preceeding cutscene. And Exusia from Armored Core V, pitifully easy with dual rifles, dual shotguns, dual autocannons, dual sniper rifles, etc. The only reason I take damage at all sometimes when fighting it is a nigh-unavoidable pulse bomb-run which I have no idea what I'm meant to do against. I mention this because sometimes it isn't a problem, because I can kill Exusia before it even starts flying. Also the OP, I tried doing it legit and then realised Typhoon would probably make short work.

I honestly think the entire game slowly went downhill after killing Grimskull. Chaos Marines and bloodletters just aren't as fun to kill as orks. The game was at its best when you litrally were a merciless killing machine armed with a chainsaw and an automatic rocket launcher that massacred entire hordes, and that feeling diminishes when most of your enemies are as powerful as you are. Not enough blood for the blood god

Still a fun game though.

 

[mitchell271]

I did a quick skim and as far as I saw nobody mentioned Bioshock! Honestly, that last boss fight, besides being an anomaly in that game, was piss easy for me. And hell, everyone says that whole game is easy, but that just didn't ring true for me, so the fact I didn't fear death at all at the end was something else.

Try playing with the Vita-Chambers turned off. The game is much, much harder and creepier that way.
