Viking-Yes I know its old

[Korey Von Doom]

So I rented Viking the other day simply cause I never played it, I decided to play on hard to get all achievments out of the way to begin with. Now I don't know if some of you remember the final boss fight or how cheap it is, but I'm doing it now and I can't stop YELLING, you have to destroy these sword stuck in the ground while the hardest enemies in the game come at you 4 or more at a time with no way for you to heal yourself other than hoping a health orb drops which is like a 1 in 30 chance, I'm so pissed I might not bother finishing it.

P.S. I destroyed all the swords which if the boss is anything like a shaman makes her open to attack, but guess what nothing happened she is still surrounded in flames

So? This is just a closed ended rant about how frustrating a game is. There's no discussion at all.

Kinda but then maybe someone knows something special that can help, or would like to add in their bad boss experiances

Should have put that in the OP then.
I can't blame Radeon, because frankly, he would have never known.

I loved Viking. I should play through it again. I completed it on the hardest difficulty but I don't remember how; I just know it took long.

This fight is the most ridiculously cheap fight I've ever done, and its pretty much only because of the fact you can't really heal yourself well.

Yea I never said that, and I was just so pissed I just felt like ranting but who knows what could come of it, and the game is really fun but this fight is just...just...*pulls his hair out*

Have you tried not playing on hard?

While that is a thought I said I was playing on hard to get all the achieves and plus I can't change it now, its the final boss and I'm not starting over.

Okay, I think I remember how I did it. I would stand close to the fire and shield bash them into it; then I would run a bit until I got them where I wanted and repeat.
Hopefully it works for you.

They aren't that important to normal people but when your a perfectionist it can get to you.

OK this isn't what achievements were meant to do, they weren't meant to cause stress like this. They were meant to cause this guy to get pissed and then rant and get all whiny, c'mon people they're not that important. Having a big score doesn't give you a bigger penis.

Wait.. IT DOESEN'T!?
Those guys playing Halo lied to me!

Anyway: I agree. They're just icing on the cake. An extra. A "Thank you" if you will, that acknowledges what you did. They're nothing to freak out over.
