What is the hardest boss ever?

See: That One Boss
There have been lots of such bosses for me but the one that has consistently thwarted me in every playthrough (on Hard at least) is Boost Guardian from Metroid Prime 2. If he breaks the pillars before you need them you'll need a miracle to win, and that's after you dodge every single Boost Ball attack.

Yeah, the easiest way was always just to summon rush and hope for the best. But it was definitely all luck. He has a move that can take out almost all of your djinn preventing you from summoning for several turns. And not having any djinn attached also means your healer becomes next to useless and no one can cast revive. Better yet, he has a move that has an individual chance to kill each person on your team. It's actually possible (and happened to me repeatedly while I was trying to beat him without summon rushing) to have every member of your party go from full health to dead in one move.SamuelT said:

What. The. Hell?
A mid game boss that always gives me trouble is the Materia Keeper from FF7. Not *the* hardest, but certainly the first thing to give me a game over in that game.
I also thought that Duriel from Diablo 2, in single player mode, was really tricky. Like uncharacteristically difficult.
Oh, and that guy in "You have to burnt he rope". He owned me.

in all fairness that shouldnt really be counted, due to the ease of credit spamming to win strategys you could employ, but if your forcing yourself for a 3 credit limit (as i do with all shmups, i mean come on its no fun just to put credits in a machine all day, or alternatively press the start buttion) then ill agree.YouBecame said:
Ruby Weapon from FF7
you had to play through hours and hours of game just to get to him, then you needed to beat ultima weapon, then get the underwater breathing thing with no real explanation of how to do so (turns out you have to morph that big skeleton boat enemy and swap it with some guy in kalm for it) then beat emerald weapon (hard enough in itself) then use the item it drops to negate ruby's damage of any kind immunity
and then even then he STILL has like 20 million health

Not all of them, especially when you get the blaster and lightsaber in the first one, but Cletus the gun store owner is brutal all day any day... And "Prototype" from Sonic Adventure 2 was pretty hard. Though that was probably because the lock-on system required to beat the boss sucked.Jovip said:
The hardest boss in my opinion is the scorpion king from metal arms: glitch in the system mainly because you have to kill him in under 5 mins
