And regarding the Root Pack, you can easily skip one of the three fights if you simply DON'T attack. Specifically, the Onion. It doesn't want to fight, so if you just stay still after it spawns, in a few seconds, a minute tops, it'll give you a thumbs up and go back down on the ground, and counts as a win.

7:52 "...not to get greedy..." This is very true in all SoulsBourne and Team Ninja games. The computer absolutely LOVES to punish you for getting greedy, and most times it results in an instant (or damn near close to) death

Foreal, that's why I love fromsoft games, a lot of games nowadays are too easy, games played for you basically. You ain't even gotta aim (auto aim is CHEATING, red dead 2 was good, it doesn't always put you right on the enemy, just in the area and you line it up). I've even noticed in games like GTA where you may run up several flights of stairs and the game turns the character for you, like ugh. Before I found out about dark souls I was getting really bummed out, I miss the SNES, those games would test your skill. But with fromsoft games, it requires every bit of your focus and alot of times demands that you play flawlessly making it the most satisfying sense of accomplishment when you finally beat that boss that's been thumping your ass for a few days.

[@Thrythlind]

Not sure they reach the level of "hardest" but Mezuki and Gozuki in Nioh 2 regularly make themselves a problem for you. (regarding "dual bosses"). Though initially you encounter a solo Gozuki as an optional first mission boss and a solo Mezuki as the first mission's boss, they start to appear as paired monsters as you move on, and rarely as solo sub-bosses in a missions.

[@davidarnold7147]

I played "The Witcher 2" for the first time on the hardest difficulty. The only boss fight I had difficulty with was near the end with a dragon, or whatever, that took my 45 minutes to beat 'cause the only thing by then that worked was Igni. I had no problem with boss fights in the beginning. By the time I got toward the end barely anything at my disposal worked on anyone or thing.

[@marbles8641]

I don't know if i missed it,but I'd like to add Dark Demon from Demon's Crest to the list. An insane hidden boss, with insanely small hit box and a couple of BS phases. (I really wish this video had a chapter select so I could see if he was in it and I just missed him)

[@meechiegg1978]

Funny thing about the godskin duo, and I do have footage to prove this, but "killing the other one before the first one respawns" is not always true. Maybe it was a bug. Maybe it was my character build, I was challenging myself to make the most OP character possible... but either way. I killed the first one in pretty much one attack and then killed the other one so quickly they were both dead for a few seconds. I had to wait for them to both spawn back in because the big shared health bar was still like half full.

Not gonna lie. I have beaten Murai 20 times in the last 20 years... and I cheese him every single time. Run up the wall, come down with the blade, jump away, repeat. He'll dodge from time to time by it usually hits him.

[@murderface5773]

I think the Duo Boss list is missing Blade Bearer and Cannoneer from Code Vein. I fought that boss duo for 4 hours and I feel like I got lucky when I did win. Malenia and Yozora both took me over 12 hours each to beat when I first encountered them, and I would rather fight either of them before fighting the Blade Bearer and Cannoneer duo again.

I guess I'm a hardcore gamer, cause I've beat every boss you've listed for hardcore gamers except for Fear and Hunger, Everquest and Nier Automata (gonna beat them soon too though). Also I beat Malenia on level 1, but am struggling with Radagon and Elden Beast. Also there's an easy cheese for Fume Knight (got him in less than a minute on my level 1 run). You stand behind him and use your estus, which will prompt him to do a massive overhead slam with the great sword which also buffs the sword for 20 seconds, and makes him unable to go into phase 2 as long as his sword has the fire buff on it after doing the slam. Also both of the first bosses in Cuphead are easy!! Rootpack and Goopy are a joke with the roundabout.Getting the secret boss with Rootpack by not shooting the onion, is actually harder though.

[@markkevorkian]

The kiryu fight in yakuza like a dragon is brutal. The one with majima and saejima is just sadistic. It's such a huge difficulty spike on top of that. Also the final boss in tunic sucks. I will add the final boss in the cuphead dlc as well

[@jasonthompson8443]

Murai can actually be cheesed very easily by doing the flying strike off a wall over and over

[@dylanglaze990]

The cup head boss, root pack, it wouldnt be so hard if people realized you aint supposed to shoot the onion. It doesnt wanna fight and if you dont shoot it it will just go back underground. Thats why it cries when you shoot it. Even then it isnt attacking you now that i think about it.

[@randallhall9670]

Not true about Brock. You can catch a male nidoran and level it until it learns double kick which is a fighting type move. It is super effective against rock types.

While of I have to keep retrying until I finally get past it... Devastating. Feel disempowered. I can't keep this up. The rest of the game is going to be impossible.

[@aerus3446]

I know a boss that is harder than every boss in this list combined and assuming that each one in average took 10 hours and still would pale against this obscure boss im referring to.

[@EGWstg]

This list mentioned the pre-nerf of the Absolute Virtue (which is impossible, because the battle with him, according to the players, lasts about 50 hours of continuous fighting, I remember one team of players decided to defeat him and after 30 hours of battle, the boss simply restored the entire supply of HP, as a result of which the team of players gave up and it all ended in hospitalization) and Queen Larsa, the difficulty of which depends on which version of the game you play 1.0, 1.01, 1.5 or Black label (of course the boss is taken into account at maximum difficulty and gameplay at 1cc) if 1.0 then it is simply impassible because in this version of the game, as far as I know, there is no slowdown function, and given that in versions 1.0 and 1.01 the base speed of projectiles is higher, in total this makes it essentially more than twice as fast, you can simply enter Mushihimesama Futari 1.01 into the search engine ultra mode, take any video with a replay, skip it until the battle with Larisa (this is always close to the end) and set it to speed x2, this is approximately what this boss is like in the first version of the game, in this iteration it is impossible, since from the moment the game was released in 2006 to this day, there is not a single player who would defeat it honestly. It makes no sense to talk about these two in the context of “difficulty” since we don’t even know if it’s humanly possible to pass them. In version 1.01, there were balance changes, the structure of the levels changed slightly and, if I’m not mistaken, the scoring method, and a slowdown appeared, which will significantly simplify the entire game, and even so, of all the completed versions of Mushihimesama Futari, it is considered the most difficult, 1cc ultra of all time only 8-9 people got it, I don’t remember exactly, but there were less than 10. From my experience in shmups, there is only a completely completed series of Touhou games, and at the moment I’m working on Kaizo patch for Touhou 15, in the future I want to put 1cc in series Len'en and 1-all crimzon clover arcade unlimited, yes, I'm far from the best shmup player, obviously I don't hold a candle to virtually all the top players in the community, and if I had much more experience in the genre, I would evaluate the difficulty differently, but at the moment I don't imagine that I can complete Mushihimesama Futari ver 1.01 ultra 1cc even in 2000 hours. Version 1.5 is the most popular and much simpler than the previous ones, from my point of view, 500-700 hours and I would do it, and Black label where the highest level of difficulty is God mode, I think I could master even now no more than 200 hours, that is, it is much easier than ultra mode of any of the listed versions. But in any case, knowing all this, even if you subtract the pre-nerf of the absolute Virtue and the nerf of Lars from version 1.0, then I really wonder which boss is so difficult that it surpasses this entire list. Colonel from I wanna be the last tis or some boss from other I wanna be fan games like Happily 2, Any rad 2.0 (possibly 3.0 in the future), Pandemonic Vier from StellaVanity, Tlb from Blue wish 2005, Double Hibachi?... Inbachi? I hope that we are talking about a boss that people were able to beat, and not about impossible boss. Since it makes no sense to mention impossible challenges, because they will not be passed anyway.

[@aerus3446]

@@EGWstg I thought Absolute Virtue was almost killed a bunch of times but not in the way it was intended by the developers so it wasnt counted

[@EGWstg]

@@aerus3446 In particular, this is one of the reasons why the pre-nerf Absolute Virtue remained impossible, since there were quite a lot of ways to defeat him without any difficulties, but since they were all equated to exploits, the players who defeated him in such ways were banned, and it all ended after incident with the team of players I was talking about, after this event the boss was nerfed to the point where he could be killed by any well-prepared team of players, although defeating him continues to be considered a major achievement.

[@aerus3446]

@@EGWstg The boss I was thinking is Burning Freezing Elzelion (in particular the true slay version) from MH Frontier, it took one guy 9 months to kill the boss and the boss had multiple one shot kill combos, if you died you had to do the entire fight again and you only had 10 minutes to deal 1 million hp in damage, it was killed in 9 minutes and 56 seconds. That was the only kill of that boss until the updates that came out much later nerfed the boss and brought better equipment that enabled more players to kill it.

[@EGWstg]

@@aerus3446 In fact, it’s not that impressive, I’m ready to believe in the difficulty of this boss, if the player who beat it spent 8-10 hours on the boss every day, then in pure playtime it comes out to about 2160-2700 hours of grinding attempts, if he spent not a lot of time, say 4 hours a day, then it’s literally easier than any of the bosses I listed above. But even if the first option is correct, then she still won’t get close to Inbachi, since Inbachi is a boss who was considered TAS only for ten years in a row, even in training mode, and a full-fledged victory in real game mode took place quite recently, in total the entire segment took almost 12 years after the game came out, again if I had to judge the difficulty of this boss from my experience of 3500-4000 hours of grinding attempts and maybe I would have beaten it. And even then we are talking about Inbachi on the default game settings, but if in the game settings you change the difficulty indicator from 2 to 4 and come to her with rank 50, then this boss is even worse than Queen Larsa from 1.0, it’s unlikely that the shmup players will ever be able to defeated her, which, however, makes it impossible, and as I already said, there is no point in talking about the difficulties of impossible bosses.

[@VeggyZ]

I love how these reviews or whatever always seriously underestimate the amount of a time a gamer can spend on such games. Case-in-point - Skyrim. 40 hours? really? MAYBE after loading your savegame, if you're really into it. C'mon dude, that's the amount of time someone spends if their whole purpose was to make a review. Certainly the truth if you play with a huge mod or two. That's SUCH A low-ball figure it it's barely worth mentioning but for absurdity. Most players - they aren't sprinting though the games 100% of the time. Speed runners, pro-reviewers, and variety-streamers do that. That's it. Those people tend to also give games exceptionally negative reviews - FOR SOME REASON. Guess what that reason is? I get it - some players don't all play for the same thing I do... but a lot of them do. I'm even considering starting a twitch or YT or whatever channel called "the slower gamer" or something. I have several naming ideas, but they all amount to the same thing. Feel free to steal it, if you're one of MY KIND, because I probably won't do it with the scant time I have outside of work anyway. Have at it. Just mentioning it because the disparity between them and myself always becomes apparrent when I watch videos on games. It's crazy - I might be a slower gamer, but people RUSH TROUGH AMAZING ASS GAMES... and like 75% of them don't even realize what they're missing in taking their time and smelling the electronic "roses" - stuff the devs put in there on purpose.
