Post Boss Battle Woes

[squid5580]

How many times has this happened to you. You are groovin along in a game and run into a boss. Ok that part is pretty common. Then right after your boss battle you find some inane stupid and ridiculously hard puzzle or challenge that you must complete to progress. And just to add insult to injury they don't offer you any type of checkpoint. So either you suffer through it or turn it off to fight the boss again and again til you get past the hard part.

Here is my story. I am playing Overlord 2 and diggin it. I finally (after 8+ hours) run into a real boss. Not some sub boss but a real boss with a health bar. And I kick its ass without a problem (thanks to X-Play's stupid cheat segment that explained how to beat it. Hardly a cheat IMO). Anyways the boss is dead and I am having a real issue with the next part. What needs to be done is apparent. Hit a few switches and away we go. Unfortunately controlling the minions is not precise as it could have been. There is a sharp corner that needs to be done unfortunately the game doesn't seem to want me to make sharp corners. So what are your horror stories?

Ok, I have 3 boss battle stories..

#1)Yunalesca from FFX
grr...she is the reason I stoped playing that game for a few months, 3 forms, each having more health than the last, and on the 2nd form, she casts zombie on your whole party, which makes it so you take damage from holy spells, and HEALS, ok, so you struggle throw that, and maybe finally taken zombie off of all your party, as soon as you get her to her last form, she casts Megadeath, which is an instant kill and gameover...unless you have zombie on you...so the whole thing ends up becoming a long endurance battle, and if you die, you have to go back to the last save, and watch the unskippable 10-15 minute cutscene x-x

2)3 Arcane Turrets???(monster tanks) at floor 100 and something in Persona 3
gah..another annoying boss...you have to kill all 3, they have high defense and health..their weakness is ice, but they also have a powerful fire spell, which will pretty much one shot you, and so do almost all of their other attacks...so annoying x-x

and the most recent,
3)Megumi and Shiki (Secret Report-Hard Mode) from The World Ends With You
... this battle was hard enough to begin with, but once you finish the game, you get to go back and if you complete certain objectives, you get Secret Reports which are basically reports about what was happening in the background while you where playing through the story(which is neat)...but for one of the first objectives...you have to fight these 2 again...on hard mode...and you cant get any more reports cause the next ones require the report from the one before it x-x....and having the multi-task fight with both ur characters during some of the ending fights are just grrr....still trying to beat this x-x...
