Recently the first boss in deus ex human revolution, I was on my first playthrough on hard difficulty(or whatever it's called) and I had chosen to do a stealth run investing all my skills into stealth based ones and I didn't carry many weapons as they just took up inventory space on me since I would probably just end up running, then comes the first boss...he has a ton of health, deals a ton of damage (especially when you're like me and have no health/armour upgrades), I spent hours trying to kill him but my few guns+grenades were useless against him and even when I hit with all of them they didn't hurt his health enough to kill him, and whenever he caught up to me he literally killed me in one hit, it was a long and tedious bossfight and even after I beat him I didn't even feel accomplished, in fact I wanted to turn off the game before I reached the next one...
What's the hardest boss fight that you've recently played?
- Thread starter Dragoon
- Start date
Figting Artorias in Dark souls with the Dragon Bone Fist. the Reach of that weapon is so small that i cant hit him even when standing in front of him from some angles. I ended up summoning someone to help me.
I had similar problems with Ornstein, but at least there i had the option to do Smough first instead. Super-Ornstein was no problem to hit.

The evolved version of Alma, Ninja Gaiden Black, Mission Mode - Master Ninja. What. A *****.
Or Shao Kahn in MK9 on hardest difficulty - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhh

Hmmmm.
That's got to be the Guardian boss fight in Darksiders 2. Going into it not having a clue, I died an average two dozen times before I succeeded. It wasn't just that I was too stubborn or too thick to get it, but I was fighting the camera for one, and then there's the strange bit about the bombs... sometimes the 'hint' wouldn't trigger, and I couldn't blow the bombs up, sometimes all the bombs exploded but the Guardian would just continue to merrily whack at me, with absolutely no way to proceed. Add to that the rather annoying and flow-breaking bit of having to switch gear between steps.
Then there's the second part, with me requiring about half a dozen attempts before I even saw for the first time where I could/had to go. Not very intuitive.
I really don't want to bash the game, as it's the most entertaining God of War - Uncharted - Tomb Raider - Amalur melange of the now, but certain bits not triggering or allies disappearing in the most game-breaking ways possible reminded me of Fallout 3, and not in a good way.
Big bow to Michael Wincott, awesome voice work right there. I just wished the whole thing would feel a little less PG-13 at times. But that's a minor gripe in an otherwise entertaining and well crafted title.

Seriously, that is one of the most underappreciated titles of the past decade. Stubbs was so much fun. Zombifying whole 50ies style neighbourhoods, first-person Thing T. Thing action, exploding guts, peeing in pools - when the whole zombie thing took off, Stubbs was very prominently absent. Too bad.
Recently? Dark Souls yet again... Manus the father of the abyss. For my kind of character every hit was an insta-kill and he was very, very very, very very very aggressive! Beat him with one of the cheapest tactics possible: Head shot ... RUN AWAY!!! ... repeat
This... is a close second. Ended up using Mac to attack and everyone else healed like there was no tomorrow ... because there was no tomorrow! Did manage to beat the damn thing eventually but moral was so low I just put the game down right after.MysteriousStranger said:
Funny... I don't recall having all that much trouble with Nyx on normal mode. Then again, I was level 92 and had messiah. The moral of this story is that level grinding pays off.canadamus_prime said:
Also, from another SMT game: Jinana from DDS. She summons 2 allies to help her, and can use a combo skill called 'seraph lore' which always does 90% of your health in damage. The other ally can then kill you with its normal attack. I had to look up a guide to see what type the attack was- it was expel. Guess what attack type I hadn't bothered to get? Que a grinding session to get void expel. Even then it was close.
