Most Tedious Boss Battle?

[skcseth]

The first boss battle in Too Human.
The one where you have to fight that earth troll thingy. Took me 30 minutes of boredom. Maybe I was just doing something wrong but damn...

All of the bosses in Star Wars: Force Unleased, they just equated to spamming force blast and then going through a series of quick time events.

Wesker in RE5 was pretty fucking annoying.

FREAKING TRADUST! Put on the Heat monitor visor they say, now he rolls to you cant shoot him, now he shoots a rock shoot the rocks now he jams the visor you cant attack him WTF?! I HATE TRADUST HATE HATE HATE! (Metroid prime 1 BTW)

And the hell spawn that is the Heck from Earth worm jim. He jumps from the darkenss you need to guess or shoot like a redneck but that's impossible since AMMO cant go any higher that 1000 and shoots go faster than you can stay Yeeehaw!

The end boss in Fracture was dissapointingly annoying.
As well, I got annoyed with the Hunter in the 360's Prince of Persia. You can only throw him off a cliff and hope for the best.
Army of Two had the stupid jerk who killed my pilot, left the cock-pit and tried to kill the two main chars. What was his frakkin end-game?!?! There is no way on the Goddesses green Hyrule that he would survive the crash that my guys barely survived last minute. NO WAY. Then he comes back and I have to kill him.... AGAIN.
In Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, the false president nazi turn-coat took too many hits for a lazy puppet fat guy.
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, there was the helicopter at the end.
Finally (For what I can think of off the top of my head at least), we have the Butterfly boss from Dark Cloud 2 (Might be Dark Chronicle for some of you). Shoot this color, then this color, then this color, and if you auto-target accidently to this color out of order, you fail, and need to start over. Yarggh.

Also, freakin Yiazmat from Final Fantasy XII, what developer thought giving a monster over 50 million hitpoints was a good idea?? It's long, tedious, and given the control scheme for the entire game, you spend half that time watching your characters run themselves around the screen, but you can't trust them enough to walk away and grab a Pepsi 'cause the moment your back is turned that's when they'll decide to go and botch everything up. (At least Yiazmat is an optional boss though.)

You're telling me. After like 6+ hours (okay so it was not intense, just browsing while they sort it all out) I had the bastard down to maybe 1/4-1/3 health. Then he goes and casts reflect on all my chars, they use full heal. He gets back every fucking point of that 50mil. I refused to touch the game after that.

Oh crap! I'd heard that was possible, but it never happened to me when I was fighting him thankfully. It took me about three-four hours on level 95, and when he started casting reflect on my guys I knew bad stuff was up so I'd always immediately get rid of it. In previous FFs baddies had done that kind of crap, I couldn't even begin to imagine how frustrating it would feel considering how much time you spent whittling down those 50mil+ hitpoints. I'd use the game as target practice if that had happened to me.

Star Wars Force Unleashed
Pulling down that Imperial Ship with the force should have been wicked. Instead I wanted to kill everyone who worked on that game.

i think the devil may cry 4 boss battles since you had to go through them all twice and when you played as dante then you had to vs boss after boss. pointless game lengthening

 

[VoltySquirrel]

Pretty much any "Boss battle" in Gears 2. I use that term loosely because there were no real boss battles, except for maybe when you fight Skorge on his Reaver.

You took the thoughts straight out of my brain. I disliked having to endure such a blatantly awkward violation of continuity from the films, but making said violation controller-destroyingly frustrating when it should have been badass easily made that the worst part of that game for me.

Typhon from Titan Quest. Even on the easiest difficulty he pulls the almighty combo of:
- having stupid amounts of health
- having several one-shot moves
- having the nearest checkpoint on the other side of the frickin map
- having a bloody life drain!

I then tried it on the medium difficulty and managed to get it absolutely nowhere in 15 minutes before getting one-shotted because I stopped giving a shit.

That El Gigante in Res Evil 5, level 2-3 is it (Savannah)? On professional difficulty it's insanely tough as he simply absorbs too much punishment and the player can't really afford to make more than one mistake. Even if it were just the jeep and the boss, it would be tough but factor in the guns that overheat, the annoying majini's that firebomb/crossbow you when you aren't looking, the incessant QTEs and the dodgy AI if playing solo, it's quite simply infuriating. On other difficulties it's not so bad, but on pro I managed to beat it just once by what I'm guessing was sheer luck. I hoped to get Ss for all levels on pro, got all but that one.
