hmm...i don't really have a lot of examples to be honest...most of the time when i struggle it's because, at least in RPGs, i do the minimal amount of grinding possible while just going form point A to point B so it's always my own fault for being lazy,which is sad because i love those games.The only i can think of for now is Rodin from Bayonetta. i was...completely unprepared for that fight when i decided to try it.-_-; though his normal attacks merely due more damage than most bosses, he has one move where he basically grabs you and destroys almost have of your health bar regardless of how high it is. there were only 2 upsides to that. one was getting the best sword in the game, and the other was managing to beat in less tries than someone i know who is MUCH better at the game than i am, 13 tries to his 20.I refuse to fight him again.
That One Boss...

He is a *****. Every time I play that game I always die at least several dozen times fighting him.FrozenCones said:Reporting in.
Everytime if fought him its been a townportal spamfest.
I remember the council back in TBC!... and yeah i tried it before the nerf it then got later in other expansions.. where people go "thats easy" oh how i hated that council..Broderick said:
for me there's a couple. first is Dragon Age : Origins - Branka (i think that was her name) had me over the fence a few times, pretty sure i ended up restarting the entire game cause no matter what save i loaded with that character i just got squad wiped time and again. Second would have to be the Janos Audron from Legacy of Kain : Defiance and last the villain from Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase that final boss had me in beat me so many times i was in tears until i put that bastard down - don't you f****** dare judge me.
Indeed. I have no idea how many times we tried to beat them, but when we did, my god was it a great feeling. Everyone was screaming and cheering over vent! It was a great day indeed. We later then downed Illidan a while later, but had significantly less trouble with him. I would say we had trouble on Mu'ru as well in the Sunwell. He was a fun fight, but hard as balls to beat.EvilMaggot said:
Just about all of them in that Y's III remake, Y's: The Oath in Felghana. About two of them were reasonable, but other than that it took me about 15-20 tries to beat the first boss and it never got any better from there... and this was on normal difficulty.
Making things even harder is that when you get each boss into critical HP they go into a berserk mode and become twice as difficult. Except for the few already mentioned reasonable bosses the only way I ever survived at this point was to follow suit and start mashing buttons, hoping I had just enough HP left to finish them off before they finished me.

Does anybody remember that one boss in The Shivering Isles that was an ethereal copy of the player? Stats, armor, health, and reaaally powerful sword? Because I was a level 40 with kick-ass armor and awesome stats. The armor also had reflect damage, and chamelon, and resist normal weapons. Oh god I got my ass kicked so hard that first time.
... I really don't remember him being that bad =S I think I killed him first time with the Ultima weapon at level 70. Were you playing this game on the hardest difficulty setting? He is seriously a pushover compared to the first game. KH1 Sephiroth required me being level 100 with the Ultima weapon (although I could then beat him fairly easily).JamesStone said:
Did you fight him head on? If so, hats off to you, sir. The way most people do it is the impossibly easy way where they just run back to the fog gate after nicking the clothes. There's a gap that he will try to jump, but he won't make it. Easiest win in the game, technically, but I wouldn't dream of fighting that beast head on, he'd tear me apart.Mossberg Shotty said:
And yeah, that's a common theme with a lot of bosses in Dark Souls. Very depressing game, actually.
It took me a few tries as well, and i still messed up a lot. You can cheese him by only going for his back, but if you do so you will rob yourself of the second phase and will regret it once you have to fight the final boss and his instakill boulders.Sean Kay said:
He was the only phase I ever had troubles with. No wonder they made him the protagonist in the sequel triology.Aeonknight said:Easily this guy.
He was also the last boss, and the one that pops your Phase Battle cherry. And he wasn't nice when he did it.
OT:
This guy here. thanks to the horrible controls of Clock Tower 3 this was easily the boss i had the most troubles with in any game i ever played.
Metal Gear Rising's final boss really pissed me off on Hard Mode (my first playthrough) with those boulders. Every time he threw them I panicked and flicked the stick accidentally or in the first times case, never knew there was multiple cutting layers. It took me 5 hours to calm down, and get his attack pattern sorted (I only had one nano-paste, which was a *****).
Now that I've got it down however, he's probably my favourite boss in the whole game. Still challenging, but fun, with an awesome song behind him.

I did that and I do not envy you in thy task. Thankfully everything after Hades is nowhere near as bad until the Crystal Scorpion (who is full of bulls**t) then I didn't even try the fire Cerberus because only a madman would. I got on top of the labyrinth and quit forever.CoL0sS said:
Good luck with Hades, remember to save Blade of Olympus mode until his second phase.
Cyborg Ninja in first MGS. He almost drove me insane, after about tenth failed attempt, I was officially scared just to begin the fight again, after 15th attempt, I was scared and angry... I have no idea how many times I tried until I finally beat him, but the funny thing is, that immediately after that, I realized how easy the battle was, and re-played it two more times, winning both effortlessly.
I remember that this guy made me cry when I was a kid. I also remembered how he massacred everyone during those Battle.net sessions during my teenage years.FrozenCones said:Reporting in.

Other than Diablo, this is probably the toughest fight in the game. (Diablo is kinda very very tough when you really didn't know how to exploit him).
The only one that springs to mind at the moment is Motaro from Mortal Kombat 3 / Trilogy. Not only does he have far more health and does far more damage in typical boss-style; he passively reflects almost all projectiles back at you and is simply immune to the very few exceptions, can teleport right next to you as often as he wants, has a very powerful grab that can be done immediately after a teleport or during your attack animation, can fire up to two explosive projectiles simultaneously, has a very long range trip move that can hit the player from half-a-screen away, sends the player flying across the screen if they don't block his attacks, and his attacks stumble the player while doing a lot of chip damage if they actually do block the attack. He's so incredibly OP, that not even Shao Kahn (the final boss) stands a chance against him, and Shao Kahn's infamous for his bullshit.
