Hardest Video Game Bosses

Aye, I know what they're for. Tips and tricks is not one of them. I didn't give away any of the plot, nor did I post a complete walkthrough on how to beat him. I just gave out a couple of things that I did to help in a battle against a boss in a two year old game. There's nothing talking about his reaction after you beat him, or the subsequent scene after that. Just a couple of his attacks and a tip to use timing were named.Higurashi said:
Now, if I were to say that
Sephiroth shrugs off the three-and-a-half hours of damage you did to him as if you'd just slapped him lightly on the wrist before having a short cutscene with Cloud where the two clash swords for a second and disappear,
then I would need a spoiler tag.
Mm.. I obviously do not agree, but that goes without saying. It's just too much detail about him for me to not think it should be kept in spoilers. Again, goes without saying. There are no actual guidelines on this, so this is just my opinion. Uh, again. I guess you felt the need to defend yourself in the thread though, so I might as well reply here. Next time though, could you use the PM system if you're not going to post anything relevant to the thread, or at least use spoilers? Thanks.Michael_McCloud said:
A good extension of what I said. He was one mean mofo when you meet him. Nothing you meet before him comes even close, even if the evil chairs can be really dangerous if you don't know how to handle them, but that goes for many fiends.WhiteFangofWar said:
You do have more ranged weapons than the bow, but his magic is overpowered on ya back then. And his attacks.. yeah, the ball attack, like you said. Damn spammer.
Another hard boss would be one from Tales of Symphonia. Most bosses have the potential to be hard if you do not apply the correct tactics. I don't remember if it was Forcystus or Kvar who had two of those laser drones whatchamacallit with them, but that battle was pretty hard if you didn't strike them down fast as hell.
There's also the girl in the prison who turns out to be some kind of demon. Damn she's powerful.
The Sword Dancer is not exactly easy either. Abyssion would probably be the hardest, but I haven't battled him; only seen videos of people doing it.
Oh, and Kuchinawa. Man..
The Shadow of the Collossus bosses on the first run through, nothign worries you more then being flung around while not knowing what the hell you're going to do when the grip runs out...
*Sigh*
I was nine years old.
I had discovered Final Fantasy IX.
I loved it.
Took me two years to beat Gizamaluke.
-_-U
I go back and beat him in one try. But he was still the hardest boss ever.
Honourable Mentions:
Frank Hogan from Fallout 2 (Until I discovered the turrets)
The Fear from MGS3 (Not hard per say, but trying to tranq him is annoying...)
Also, I founs The End super fun, though time-consuming.

I don't know if anyone remembers one of my favorite games: FFTactics
The boss in Riovanes Castle, one who could summon Titan and crush 3/4 of your team in the first 5 turns, ridiculous. You had to get LUCKY to beat that boss battle, you couldn't really even train.

Really!? I don't want to sound arrogant or anything but I've never even had a character get 'wounded' let alone die on Altima. I almost always manage to kill her in 3 hits or less (and no I did not grind like crazy to get like that). I would say that Velius was harder by a lot.Xskill said:
The Demon Wall in FFVII was really difficult to fight the first time I played through FFVII but that's because I was about 10 or 11 and thus was an fucking idiot. The second time I played through that game (which was this past summer) I beat him on the first try without having to use a single reviving item.
Hardest boss fights I can remember:
Drackkt (I think that's how you spell it) from Dragon Warrior Monsters 2.
Miguel from Chrono Cross.
The bosses of NWN on single player.
The 2 purple, electric worms from Ninja Gaiden for xbox (still haven't beat 'em)
...and finally, that fucking giant laser-shooting turtle from Shadow of the Colossus. It just wouldn't walk over those fucking geysers.
This justy reminded me of my first hardest boss.Writerling said:
I was around about 10 or so years old, i was playing FFVII, i was stuck on Hundred Gunner and Helli-Gunner in the shinra elevator for two years, i finally got passed him and i can't get past Gi Nattack in the Cosmo Canyon Caves three years i couldn't get passed that guy, and THEN someone let's me in on the fact yuo can kill him with phoenix downs...
Alma from Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox. That boss has so many different cheap attacks it's not even funny.
Dracula/Death combo at the end of Dawn of Sorrow for the DS on hard Max 50. Of course that may be because I just suck at games.
Why?! That dude is the biggest pansy... All four times you fight him, you can slap him around like a rag doll.BenMcMichael said:
