10 Hardest Video Game Boss Fights You Started By Accident

[@Thelodis]

In the original Legend of Zelda, when you explore the last dungeon, you might just happen to walk into the room where you fight Ganon, and you might not have found the silver arrow yet, not only making the fight impossible, but you also can't leave the room.

[@ChristophBrinkmann]

Damn. Bad Nintendo.

[@ThomasMHead]

That's the gimmick of most Bosses in the game and series, though: get the needed weapon/item to win. Plus, in Zelda 1, the Boss of each dungeon can be heard from 1 room away; so it isn't totally a surprise or unavoidable.

[@Thelodis]

Except that for every other boss in the game, you can either defeat them with just the sword or the door doesn't shut behind you so you can go back and get the necessary item. And for some reason, you can't hear Ganon roar from outside the door, you can only hear him from the other sides of the walls where you can't enter the room, the only real clue is if you have the compass and can see where Zelda is. And there are no real clues that you need a special item either or where to find it. I think there are no other final bosses in the series where you can enter without the necessary items or spells and the only options are either to die, reset or save and quit, except for Zelda 1 & 2. You can enter Ganon's chamber in the third game withouth the silver arrow, but you can get out by falling down the pit.

[@aman7525]

That's top tier detail

[@Justinr1993]

You can go fight the final boss's in BOTW very early on too

[@dragoredrox7493]

I offer two from the monster hunter series. Monster hunter: getting spotted by Yian Garuga on any map it's in (it will pursue you throughout the entirety of the map unless you are at base camp) Monster hunter Tri: facing off against queopeco in high rank- it will unwittingly summon Deviljho with its call and it will terrorize you and the queopeco from that point on.

[@williammcdowell1700]

I cannot believe Lavos from Chrono Trigger wasn't mentioned. One of the first things you do in the game is step on a telepod at the Millennial Fair. If you step on the Right pod instead of the Left one, you are instantly teleported, at like level 2, to end game.

[@Jimmybrichie]

Pretty sure you have to have beaten the game once and be on a new game+ in order to trigger the earlier end-boss fights. Like waking up at the beginning of the game and walking to the nearby cliff to instantly face off against the end boss, solo, with Crono. I could be wrong though.

[@KayneArcheron]

The Right Telepod method of reaching Lavos can only be utilized in New Game Plus. That said, you can interact with the bucket at The End of Time fairly early in the game, but Gaspar does warn you against it.

[@nixeleth]

Karstag had nothing to do with the Dawnguard--Karstag was related to the Dragonborn DLC. All you had to do was find his skull in an unmarked cave, then place the skull on the throne in his castle. And *then* you were in for another epic closed-space battle with a frost giant ghost that could summon a Blizzard. If you didn't die, you could summon him three times afterwards.

[@Carahloporra]

Came to say the same thing. It's like he doesn't even play Skyrim

[@ErosXCaos]

“Menu Boss” pops up in many games, but for me it was Dark Souls 2. Normally, you can’t continue playing until menus are closed, but not Dark Souls 2. Instead of pausing the game when you access menus, you can still move around, but your buttons operate the menu. The main menu is up in the corner, a small list of tabs. When you select a tab, the menu then fills half the screen. If you only exit the tab, the main menu stays open in the corner. It’s small, and your attention is front and center. You have to exit both. So many times I’ve gone into combat without realizing the main menu is still open, and when I start pressing buttons, instead I’m scrolling through tabs, opening them, accidentally dropping or using something, whatever. Meanwhile, the ever deadly mobs of Dark Souls 2 are getting their pound of flesh. *_Menu Boss, damn you!_*

[@newelljoseph5060]

I'd like to add in Kurt Zisa, Clocktower Phantom, Ice Titan & Sephiroth from the original Kingdom Hearts. Though you do enter the situation voluntarily, the game doesn't really give you advance warning that you're walking into a boss fight with unique circumstances

[@fidget18s48]

No mention of the Dark Aeons from Final Fantasy X. They were a right bunch of bar stewards if you didn’t know about them.

[@karlthorkildson4650]

Those are also from later versions of the game, meaning one could be taken surprise by using an earlier guide. Plus, they may block off certain summons and Yuna's best weapons unless the player did all the puzzles in the temples the first time around.

[@DarkEclipse23]

@@karlthorkildson4650hell. In my experiences I almost fought the dark magus sisters since they’re triggered to appear AFTER the expulsion from bevelle. Meaning if you wanted to monster hunt and walked all the way from the calm lands, since you can walk to macalania -> thunder plains -> guado -> mushroom, you can almost get locked into their boss battle gauntlet thing early. Heck you can even accidentally run into Ixion at the thunder plains if you were the type to talk to all the “new” npc’s 😂

[@GWFanSoftcoreBrony]

How about the Reaper from Persona 3 (or multiple Persona games really). It is a super boss that only shows up if you linger too long on a floor in Tartarus, any non-boss encounter floor in the game, so it's quite easy to accidentally run into it if you are casually exploring around or trying to defeat every Shadow on the Floor. Even if you are prepared for the final boss, it can easily kill you in a turn or two if you don't have a good (or cheesy) strategy up your sleeve.

[@totiarriola]

It aint a surprise really it actually warns you if the reaper has appeared on the floor youre in and you can avoid it early

Dont get me started on those ultimate weapon quests.

On Far Harbor in Fallout 4, there is sizable mine/quarry filled with Mirelurks. In my first playthrough, I killed all the mirelurks, looted their bodies, and turned around to walk away.

By the time you encounter the Revenant in Denerim, you're actually already significantly advanced along in the story (because it doesn't typically trigger until you're there for the Landsmeet) and you've likely additionally encountered previous Black Phials and at least know what you're in for. The one that surprised me was the Black Phial in the Circle Tower--that was my first "hey, what's this?"

Dark Valefor, the optional boss in the FFX re-release qualifies, since it shows up blocking the entrance to the starting village later in the game, that you could return to easily in the original release of the game.

[@DarkEclipse23]

The easiest way is once you first leave besaid village for kilika, go back into town and look for the girl with the dog. I hear you need to backtrack after the spherimorph fight. Basically you need to have done everything before the macalania storyline with shiva which is the moment between it and the spherimorph fight.

One of the many things I didn't like about FONV was the spawn points. I missed a crucial save when I went into the quarry, died, and spawned in the middle of a deathclaw horde; it took me several attempts with running and dropping mines like crazy to get out of that pickle.

The Fiends in the Shin Megami Tensei series began as Warmech style ultra rare random encounters, but in Nocturne they instead trigger when you walk to a specific location after defeating the previous Fiend.

The Collector is ok and usually the party shouldn't have big troubles with it but the Shambler is something else especially if you are not well prepared and if you do a no torch run. The main danger about those two bosses is that they can surprise you (the Shambler can suprise you only when there is no light). Most of the other bosses or boss creatures of the other games have fixed areas which makes them a danger which you can avoid or prepare and fight.

Are these backlogged Jules videos from before he left?

[@mj.ray0898]

Maybe some, but I've heard him reference FGS in WC videos, so safe bet he's most likely still on at WC on some kind of part-time or freelance basis

[@DevilWolf000]

is this list somekind of joke? Witcher 3? Fallout 4? This must be a joke. Have you guys heard of a game called Path of Exile? I would like to see how you guys deal with Uber Maven or Uber Sirus, honestly i doubt you guys would even be able to finish the campaign which is only the start of it all..
