10 Bosses That RUINED The Game For Us

[@8ogl]

Fighting it regularly is just miserable but since starting doing SL1 runs I simply use the bow & firebomb method which completely trivializes the fight basically to the point where it’s free. Pretty consistent and easy to pull off strat. Bed of Chaos really shouldn’t hold anyone off from (re)playing and enjoying DS1.

[@Relp7357]

In Uncharted 2s final boss, the boss says “stand your ground” ironically if you listen to him and stand your ground next to one of those exploding resin things and just let him grab you and hit you and repeat until the resin regrows you’ll beat him no problem. I did it on crushing my 2nd attempt. It’s more of a bug than a feature tho.

[@Meedster08]

Yeah that’s a bug. I think it only exists on the remastered version. But I could be wrong

[@gaminggoof1542]

To be Frank the final boss in 4 is a bitch too.

[@mikespike2099]

Tip with Uncharted 2 is to just hit L when he is near the blue blob near the tree bridge … get him to follow you anti-clockwise in the area and run to the end of the tree bridge turn around and wait for him to run towards you …it’s the only area you can guarantee to hit him as it forces him into a bottleneck … there is a chasm below the tree where if he throws grenades while you are lining up the shot most of them will fall below. It’s the only way I got to beat him! What’s annoying is you have to do this 2-3 times! 😢

[@Renoistic]

I really like the last fight before the time skip in TLOU2. It's more like a stealth fight with a lot more variables than in the stealth boss in the first game. On Grounded it's really scary haha

[@Xoulrath_]

I played Uncharted 4 on the hardest difficulty, mostly rolled through the game, then was treated to a fucking QTE boss fight. Fun times. I didn't even bother to beat the game. That was like a year ago whenever it became available on PS+. I might revisit it at some point, but it honestly ruined the game for me.

[@rolandovaldesjr.706]

QTE bosses are perfect in games like Uncharted because it's such a cinematic, story driven game that it fits right in

[@TheNerdzerker]

Always loved how even the intro to Borderlands 2 pokes fun at the final boss of the first game.

[@anburaziel]

It wasn't the duo that stopped me in that area. It was the tree sentinel after them 😂😂😂

[@Keitreth]

The redeeming quality for Destroyer is how cool fighting Eridians on the way to the vault was. Like sure, the boss itself was very underwhelming, but the path to it really delivered imo

[@georgen5882]

That area was cool and actually took effort as well. I just did it again recently and it felt like a difficulty spike getting there. Not necessarily in a bad way, but you had to be careful or the flying dudes would chew through your health.

[@TheOmegaDragon]

The only boss that ruined my day, is the boss at work.

[@billy91011]

The bad guy from Fable 2. You go through the entire game gearing up for this epic boss battle and you don't even get it. If you don't shoot him during his monolog someone else will and the fight is over. There is a boss but no fight

[@TheMadSocrates]

Terrarnigma's honorable mention reminds me that that's just something that team does cause Illusion of Gaia, their previous game, also has a random dramatic difficulty spike boss against vampires.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Eh, Jack and Silvana weren't that bad at all- sure, they were probably the hardest boss in the game (which, to be honest, is a cardinal sin because NO game should ever have a non-bonus boss that's harder than the end boss), but IoG's bosses were mostly pretty easy anyway (the worst ones were just tedious, like the Mummy Queen and the Sand Fanger) and the Vampire Couple were merely challenging. Bloody Mary, on the other hand, was just overtuned. Honestly, you can deal with her pretty reasonably just by grinding up maybe 1-2 extra levels (because stats mean a LOT in Terranigma, to the point that a single level can be the difference between killing easily and dying miserably) and ideally going back and equipping a Light-element weapon, which even if it's weaker will exploit her elemental weakness. But she can still be frustrating and her attack pattern is genuinely hard to deal with.

[@zordiark9673]

@@ArcaneAzmadi In terranigma, every boss is showing you signs if youre underleveled or not. If you do crappy Damage on the boss, but reasonable on the Trash packs.. go grinding. But Bloody Mary wasnt just 1 or 2 lvl to grind, it was a whole 7 if you just rushed through the game. YOu can get there with lvl 18 pretty easy, but you should have at least lvl 23 to do more than 1 Damage. This Boss is a Gamekeeper and sucks.

[@SkeetersCousin]

[@manojmadhugeetham6351]

[@larsus1436]

I kid you not, I beat the godskin duo on my first try. Yep. I think I managed because I had to repeat the the thin godskin (Apostle) solo boss fight (I think it was inside a tall tower) dozens of times, so I ended up mastering it and learning its patterns. The fat godskin (Noble) in my opinion wasn't that bad. If it makes you feel better, I was at the end of my rope when the fight was over, with no flasks left and at less than half health

[@Amins88]

The noble is typically really annoying in other encounters because of its unavoidable rolly polly move, but that arena gives you a bunch of giant pillars that let you just wait it out from safety.

[@TheFallingFlamingo]

I did as well, but I did a replay of DS1 before Elden Ring, so once I got used to Morgott things were pretty simple. If you've killed Ornstein and Smaugh, the Godskin Duo are a piece of cake. The room is smaller, but you still have pillars for LOS dodge and your character is so much faster and maneuverable in Elden Ring compared to DS1. It's just divide and conquer.

[@unathigaga1160]

Isaac frost in EA Fight Night still raises my blood pressure to this day

Godskin Duo: the first encounter with the snail was probably the most rage inducing with having to run back to the boss from far away. This second encounter, I somehow 1st tried it. The secret was being over-leveled...

[@KrustyCrout0n]

You missed the i think second encounter with the eyeball monster in RE2r. You have to get him knocked off of a platform twice but unless you have 2 flash bangs to stun him, he will grab you and pull you off with him.

The godskin duo the worst boss they ever did ? Idk about that one boss.

[@Jatt2613]

Yeah, the Godskin Duo was annoying but not that bad. I had more trouble with Ornstein and Smough back when I originally played DS1. With Godskin Duo, you've got summons, you can put them to sleep, you can use bleed to take big chunks of their health off, and more, but you had none of that in DS1.

[@gasselik]

The problem of the Godskin duo is that many people i've see tend to belittle dps damage as poison or bleed, they go raw power and when they face 2 boss, they got destroyed, complaining the boss, then search online solutions

[@willmael7914]

godskin duo was nerfed. during launch, the boss was apparently pretty hard, shitty, and annoying (i wouldn't know, i played and finished the game months after launch). so it's likely that falcon was talking about pre-nerfed godskin duo the nerfed godskin duo i fought was pretty easy imo

[@data3419]

​@@willmael7914 Yeah pre nerf duo was worse than malenia ever was

[@willmael7914]

@data3419 the damage falcon is doing to the godskin duo in the vid is pretty miserable too. like if you're chipping away at a boss's health, ofc it's gonna be a pain in the ass

[@Nightmerica]

The final boss of The Callisto Protocol. He’s completely out of place in that game - like, a Resident Evil boss found its way into the game. It’s also completely, ridiculously difficult compared to anything else in the game. Just a really poorly thought out final encounter.

[@Jeremiah12thLvlGeek]

Godskin Duo is definitely rough the first time if you don't know the gimmick. But Once you have sleep crafting, you can take one out while concentrating on the other. I wouldn't say it's cheesing, since it is the intended use of the mechanic. If anything, I would say the bigger issue is that sleep only gets a chance to shine like this a few times in the whole game.

[@ericlamb4501]

Well, he did mention you can cheese them, but, like a lot of stuff in Elden Ring, or generally any Souls title, is that it's not really ever explained and put away in some corner that you can easily miss up to that point.

[@twinlyplays]

[@plehis123]

Godskin duo doesn't even need sleep pots. It's so easy to just beat them.

[@Blackstonelegion]

Diciple Zr'ell from Baldur's gate 3. This Boss fight is really annoying. All Z'rell does for the entire fight is Spam her Black Hole which slows down your party and prevents them from using bonus actions. Follow that up with the fact that she's got a bunch of Cultist backup that constantly Buff eachother and hit really hard and you are in for a Rough time. But luckily if you know how you can skip this fight entirely.

[@isaacstevenson7971]

You need to get through the staircase as fast as possible too or they’ll block it off with hunger of hadar. That in combination with the black hole makes it so you can take like a step and a half lmao. I found a good trick was to just use ice storm on them before getting close enough to initiate the conversation. It will start combat but everyone in the middle will take a ton of damage and possibly get knocked down, and all the weak guys next to them will die. Also helpful if you have the Harpers recruited because they will take guys out with their bows and absorb some damage for you.

[@xt3100]

i really feel like the BorderLands 1 end boss was meant to be that bad. as a joke, its right within that games humor. Going for the whole "That's it?! THAT is the big threat you talked up?!" kind of reaction.

[@comettamer]

The final boss from Dark Cloud. I spent the entire game focusing on only using the main character, a sword user. At the end of the game, the second phase of the final boss can only be damaged by ranged attacks, requiring you to switch to a ranged character (the only time the game does this in a fight). This wouldn't be so bad if the boss didn't also regularly use an arena wide unavoidable attack. This left me having to enter the fight with an inventory dedicated to healing, and hoping I could cherry tap the boss with the bad ranged character before I ran out of items.

Which is the same problem I have kinda had with every Borderlands game. They're just not typically fun or balanced for playing with random people. You either play co-op with friends or you play solo, because random players will be so unpredictably under or overpowered.

You bringing up fighting tanks and helicopters in Arkham Knight is giving me Suicide Squad flashbacks 😵‍💫!

The boss fights in the Kotor games. You can quite easily make it to the end fight no matter how bad your build is, but if you didn't do your build correctly, the final fights are impossible. And also, you rely on your companions for the entirety of the game and then they're removed. Leaving your only option really being just running around, spamming mines, or having to load a save from an hour+ ago.

Gotta say, 18:10-18:12, before I owned a PS2 and leading up to FFX’s release, there was footage of the team sliding down a railing, and flipping to the other one, as Sonic did in that time block. I remember that sequence so fondly, but was disappointed to know that it was just during a cutscene. It’s kind of cool to see that in actual gameplay in a very different game.

One boss i'd like to add is Dr. Hartman from the Control DLC. Control is an outstanding game. And both it's DLC's are great. But the Dr. Hartman DLC at the end of AWE is nothing short of bad. First of all, much of it takes place in the dark. Where he attacks you, and your energy drops every second. And you can't attack him. The first bit is super easy. You litteraly just turn on the light and bam, you take 99.9% of his health as if nothing. But then he turns of the light and adds a shield. Ok, fair enough. You turn on the light only to find your attacks barely chip away at the shield. And seconds later he slams the ground, turning the power off and enemies spawn. You gotta fight them, survive Dr. Hartman, lose energy while you go between light sources etc... But the best part is, his shield regenerates in the dark. Throwing everything at him chios away like 5-10% of the shield IF YOU'RE GOOD. There's hardly any health to pick up, so if you get hurt, well you doo doo out of luck. But here's the thing... You gotta stun him before he turns off the light. Something that isn't too obvious at first as nothing stops him except for a perfectly timed tripple launch. But here's the thing, moving trough the dark drains your energy. Once you turn the lights on you often need to use said energy to move to where he is. Giving you hardly any time to pick up 3 things to launch at him. So you're doomed to repeat this. And even if you do stun him... You have to repeat this multiple times. The fight isn't hard as in it's a challange. The game stacks all the odds against you and really makes sure you can't succeed if you stumble just once. As i've heard people say, even when you beat him, you get no satisfaction, there is no heck yeah moment. It doesn't feel like you mastered him. It feels like you just got lucky. Wich isn't what a boss fight should be like. So upon repeat replays i tend to just go into the accessibility setting and one shot him because there's no reason to put yourself trough it. It's one of THE worst boss fights in any game from my memory. And i can remember some bad ones. But it sticks out so much more simply because the game is so Amazing. The contrast therefor just makes it stick out even more.

I struggled a lot with it too. Finally ended up spamming sticky bombs at him, which stagger him and do significant damage to his shield. They feel semi-mandatory to get past him, which wasn’t great when the rest of the game encourages you to experiment with all the weapons and abilities.

The batmobile wouldn't be as hated if it went just a little faster. Or rubberbanded you to the soldier after chasing them for 10 minutes.

Arkham Knight- There was soooo much hand to hand combat in main missions and side missions, I enjoyed the variation of the Batmobile fights, especially the stealth mission against TAK. I just finished a replay last night. What a fantastic game.

[@iainjames03]

I recently got the Arkham Trilogy Remaster on Switch. It's jarring how much A.K. *_forces_* you to use the Batmobile. Not that it's there if you want - you progress a certain way in a mission and Batman says "Oop - better get the Batmobile for this!" Coming off a two-game stretch where pretty much the only vehicle you ride is the Tiger helicopters when you're trying to scan them, this is egregious as the forced 'boat stealth' mission in Assassin's Creed 4 - except it's across a whole game.

[@speedingoffence]

The hardest boss in Elden Ring was the 3rd guardian in the Haligtree. Eventually I just ran past him, letting my Mimic be a distraction, hit the respawn point, and then cheesed him with dozens and dozens of arrows. I guess I could have just kept running. Seriously, I had less trouble with Melenia. She's actually "easy" if you have a light build. You can roll right out of that move that she does that everyone complains about.

[@WeNeverHadForever]

I'm sure someone else has mentioned it by now, but the boss battles in Dues Ex were outsourced to a different company because of crunch. That's why they initially didn't have methods to beat them other than tank and spank!

[@TallulahSoie]

I honestly don't remember ever having any issues with this one. Very weird.
