I'll always remember the level "Cat and Mouse" in Doom 64. You, in a maze, with a teleporting Cyberdemon. Oh, and you start out right in front of it. Freaked me out on multiple occasions.Dfskelleton said:
Duriel is an ass because of his holy freeze aura and the fact that hes stupid fast for being a big maggot guy. I really don't see how blizzard figured him a good boss for that level. If you played through properly, he's one tough cookie at that level.The Eggplant said:
The oblivion knights were my pick. Then in the recent 1.13 patch, they took iron maiden from them. It feels way too easy now. As a werebear sorceress that hits 88k melee and attacks faster than the game can show(seriously, it only shows 1 swing for every 3 times I swing), it's too easy. It really is a shame. That was about the only place melee characters struggled. Not even mercenaries were safe.
I'd like to add undead stygian dolls. I've always hated them. They're small, fast, travel in packs, and explode and hurt a lot when they die. They also just killed my level 87 hardcore character.
Was Elder Wyrm the one that casts all these support spells on himself and had incredibly High hp?StarStruckStrumpets said:
Pretty much any enemy from Resident Evil 4 and 5. El Salvador being the absolute worst. Also, the healing priests from Dante's inferno. And the Big Daddies, of course.
Hunters (is what I believe they are known as, my memory may not serve me well as I have not played halo in a VERY long time) from the original Halo, scared the shit out of me whenever I saw them.
In most every Star Wars game not tied to a movie, there will be a rancor (Yes there are a few without it, but the fact that these guys have shown up in games for way longer than that one in the movie is a bit strange). They all either can insta-kill or will almost kill you with every attack.
Sticking with the Star Wars topic:
KOToR-
Named Mandolorians: these guys survived the war for the reason
Terentatek: They will kill you before you can say their name
Rakghouls: Not really that dangerous, but were the most annoying thing on Taris (poisined you, ignored you to kill the person you were trying to save, were the only thing that respawned)
Anyone with a lightsaber: The Tatooine ambush taught me this.
Republic Commando-
Trandosian Heavies: "I am Heavy Weapons Trando. And this... is my weapon."
Droid Deployers: Who knew that a canister that clearly only holds six droids can produce an infinite amount of enemies (that don't drop ammo you can use)
Super Battle Droids: The movies lied, these things where exceptionally dangerous. Especially on the one level where you have to move past racks of them with limited ammo, all alone.
Battlefront-
Droidikas: CPU makes them gods among mortals. Capable of killing everything on the map not in a vehicle. The Republic special troop, the Jet Trooper, was only good for killing them.
The CPU in 2: "We just landed our mobile troop spawn point inside the enemy ship! Now everyone jump out to cripple it from the inside while more troops spawn to help us... Wait! No! Don't crash it into the wall and leave us strand... Crap."
The Force Unleashed-
Rocket Turrets: Almost no pause between you getting back up and it firing again.
Felucians: Tree bark can block a lightsaber. Who knew?
PURGE TROOPERS: "Why isn't it dying?! How can it just block all my attacks?! Why can't I get close with its rocket launcher attacking me?! HOW THE BLOODY HELL DID IT JUST WALK THROUGH THE DEATH STAR BEAM?!?!?!?!"
Besides for those games, the only other one I'd have to say are any enemies with the ability to stun/knock you back and dragons in Final Fantasy after not listening to the moogle in IX.

Feral Ghoul Reavers from Fallout 3, they have crazy amounts of health and if they know you're there they hit really hard and don't stop until you're dead or he's dead. I mean sure if you get the Ghoul Mask they're not so bad, but during the Broken Steel DLC in the Presidental Metro where all of those Ghouls are attacking, I thought ah can't be that bad, fuck was I wrong, I had to heal Dogmeat constantly he was being attacked by like 5 Reavers wow it wasn't pretty. Used over half of my Stimpaks on that one mission.
Three words: Super. Mutant. Overlord. If I see one armed with a Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, I make sure I can sneak close enough to take the weapon out in VATS. I had a couple of no-death runs wiped out by that damned thing.
(edit: I'd say Feral Ghoul Reavers, but the Ghoul Mask fixes 'em and turns 'em into docile little puppies.)

There's a lot of enemies I take seriously, but these take the cake for me:
Joshua O'Brien (Armored Core 4/ For Answer). His bastard mech White Glint is a ***** to hit. He can fly circles around my mech, inflicting potshots while I futilely try to do anything. In For Answer, the player is severely underfunded, there's little to no parts available to build with, the arena is crowded, and the ally used in the mission to kill Joshua dies within a minute, which quickly becomes a one-sided battle. And this is on normal mode. I don't want to know what happens on hard mode. He's just plain hard on AC4, as he comes later in the game, when the player has the money and weapons to stand a chance.
Just about everything on insanity mode in Mass Effect 2. From my experience, the classes that stand a chance in this mode are the Soldier, Infiltrator, Sentinel and Engineer. Unless the player is really good and has his/her squad set up for any combat scenario, the Vanguard/Adept won't get very far. Harbinger is a real bastard, but the praetorian is by far the worst. It can raise a barrier at any moment, follows Shepard, and exposure for more than a second means death, or severely depleted health. Scions are no better, but Heavy Warp/Heavy Incendiary Ammo work wonders.
Deathclaws in Fallout 3. My character's Perception is maxed out for a reason. Yes, I hate them, and my solution to this problem: a dart gun and a flamethrower.
General RAAM in Gears of War 1 (insane). Anything but explosives and sniper fire to the face do absolutely nothing at all. And a few bullets from him means an insta-kill.
