7 Bosses That Were Immediately Killed by a Much Scarier Boss

Wanna know what makes the Tonberry even scarier in that game? If you take too long killing it, it can up it's grudge stages to where it has THE HIGHEST offensive stats out of ANY enemy. Yes, even the hardest superbosses don't get as much Strength and Magic as a max grudge level tonberry.

[@CerulianHimmel]

It's literally a DPS check. If you don't have the; levels, gear, abilities and proper team set up... you can't win. The only way to 'brute force' it is to have at least two of those so stupidly over-grinded that nothing else is a challenge normally. I was lucky enough that when I fought it, I was actually on par with it so all I had to do was use the offensive spray and go ham.

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

@@CerulianHimmel When I took them down, I was hardcore pushing the stagger gauge. Having 3 ravagers on one paradigm and 3 commando for when it's staggered does melt HP fast. Especially if you have Fang's Highwind already. Also, Vanille's Death spell did a lot of damage too when stagger gauges get high. Possibly the biggest damage dealer being upwards to 1 mil damage every few seconds.

Depends highly on the game to be fair... FF14 tonberries in the wanderers palace dungeon during the scholar job quest are really easy to deal with. The ones in the dungeon for your duty have No HP bar at all. Tho the small ones do and are again pretty easy to get rid of. The ones in FF13 AND 13-2 are not easy.

[@silverwyhrecat5]

@@cherrydragon3120 I know that FFX-2 isn't the most well-loved games (it remains one of the few that makes me cry but I digress), but the Tonberries in that one are a complete and total nightmare. If I remember correctly, you pretty much only find them in the Big Dungeon and some of them are friendly and give you items. And sometimes they just straight up shank you and force you to go back to your last big level in the dungeon, resetting all of your work. I also feel like they show up in regular encounters as well. Which. Sigh. The trick in FFX is to bring in characters that don't often deal the final blow when you fight Tonberries.

It's quite clever for an atrocious "hater of all that lives" to be killed by a Tonberry, considering that their main gimmick is that they avenge the deaths of other creatures, getting stronger the more enemies you have killed (which in a game like Final Fantasy, is likely to be a lot). You don't expunge Tonberry's taint, Tonberry has arrived to expunge YOUR taint. And it just occurred to me that Sans and Tonberry are basically the same concept.

@@JordanThomas-iq2kv I might be overselling it a bit. "4X" games are a type of (usually turn-based) strategy game, like Stellaris, Civilization, and so on, where you start with a small and relatively low-tech civilization and grow it into dominance over the continent, planet, galaxy, or whatever setting the game uses. The term stands for "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate": as your growing empire improves its tech, you'll need to find more territory and resources for your people to continue achieving greatness, so you will almost inevitably start having to pick fights with other civs trying to move up on you. One situation that can happen is that you'll find yourself locked in a long war with a nearby empire whose numbers and tech are roughly on par with yours. That can turn into a meat-grinder pretty quick, since neither side has a decisive advantage - and then seemingly out of nowhere, a third civ that managed to get some sort of boost (no nearby rivals, loads of resources, high population growth, whatever) shows up with numbers and tech light-years beyond the best you or your local enemy have. The over-selling part comes from the generally slow pace of the game. That scenario above might be the plot of the game, but the gameplay itself is... Well, one friend of mine described it as being a bit like SimCity, but with a couple violent extra layers.

EDIT: He casts Doom after 20 minutes have passed, putting a hard time limit on the fight.

[@cherrydragon3120]

Attacus was indeed quite scary when it just 1 SHOTTED the Behemoth King.... wich if you played FF13 and got to chapter 11 where those things roam around the Achylte steppe.... you know they are no joke to fight... to be fair, Attacus is a real challenge with his like 8.4 million ish HP and his 999% stagger bar and if i am correct 99% chain resist. So there is perhaps maybe 1 or 2 times in the entire battle you can manage to stagger him. Try to fight him before you got a max Level party and you might not be able to stagger him at all. Meaning you won't do for example 6 times the damage you usualy do. But just your regular dmg. Wich ain't fun cuz i think he also halves physical and non elemental magic dmg

[@azuredragoon2054]

@@cherrydragon3120 I looked him up for more details. He takes 50% physical damage and only 10% magical damage. He also has 9.1 million HP.

My only experience with Tonberries is from Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, where the mission Moschet Manor has you go searching through 7 different rooms murdering them.

[@hidedasausage]

In the Final Fantasy games, Tonberries had a large amount of HP that took forever to get through if you weren't prepared properly. They slowly made there way towards you and once in front of you, stab you with the knife, which causes instant death. But the one technique they had that makes everyone frightened of them is called Everyone's Grudge (FF7) or Karma (FF10). That move does 10 damage for every monster that a character has killed. Example: One character has killed 1000 monsters, the technique will do 10000 damage to that character.

[@mrgrump1003]

I remember one from Lego Dimensions. In the level Riddle Earth, the cutscene before the boss fight shows a sleeping troll that goblins try to wake up. Then that makes the player assume that the troll is the boss, but they slowly realize that isn’t the boss as Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle start piecing together the riddle. Soon the doors behind the troll burst open launching the troll and Gollum to show Riddler riding the Balrog.

Really happy to see FFXIII getting some attention; one of my favorites in the franchise. Zenobia is a pretty tough boss in FFXIII-2 which only enforces further how powerful that Tonberry is to kill it in one strike.

[@DirgeTV]

Between a boss called "The Penetrator" and a journey involving "expulsing" someone's taint (That someone having Tentacles too), I'm starting to question what the hell is going on with these bosses. Also, that Flyboy kid has confirmed to me I am old because despite hearing AND reading what he said, I'm still going "What the hell does that even mean?"

I showed it to my little brothers (one of whom is 10) and even THEY didn't know what he said.

[@EinDose]

I can confirm as someone that was the right age when Borderlands 2 came out, Flyboy is literally speaking nonsense. But credit to them, it's very credible nonsense slang, it's genuinely difficult to write something like that in a way that doesn't sound extremely dated right out of the gates.

[@themaidenlesswretch7819]

The penetrator is weak to magic damage, so if you put "white sticky stuff" on your weapon, it'll do more damage

[@WillieManga]

(Kirby and the Forgotten Lands Spoilers) One of my favorites is Morpho Knight. When Star Allies started the bait and switch era of Kirby, Forgotten Lands was quick to follow suit. So you destroyed the physical form of ID-F86, then had to snap the beasts out of his control after his spirit tries to take revenge. It seems like we're gonna get the Marx Soul esque rematch via Fecto Soul... And then a magic butterfly swoops in and obliterates him, transforming into Meta Knight's prototype appearance. When it happened in Star Allies, we were caught off guard. But those who played that game dreaded seeing that butterfly again.

[@tristanrouse6150]

FFXII, the Catoplas in the Necrohol of Nabudis. _A large behemoth, which you fought a lesser version before in the "oh dear god why are there murder plant horses and are those TPK giant lobster dragons" Zertinan Caverns, is killed by a freaking bunny.....named Fury. Who proceeds to murder you and your party. All six of them, and all your espers._

[@athroughzdude]

There was also that Contra boss fight from Shattered Soldier. Starts off with a helicopter that not only has been harassing you the whole level, but transforms into a mech to face off against as the boss. Only to have a horrific giant alien turtle boss drop from above and crush the mech. Which only gets worse when you blow up the turtles head, because it then turns around and reveals that its whole backside is a giant fleshy human head.

[@sageygaygey]

andy visibly struggling through the expunging taint jokes might be my favorite bit of this whole video

[@BenG6509]

This also happens in the Borderlands 3 DLC, Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, the final boss intro shows a normal psycho with a knife running at you, only to be crushed by a mace used by a larger, more buff psycho called the Psychoreaver

[@leilaclarridge5807]

In the last two major Kirby games, we have the final bosses of extra modes being eliminated before you could fight them and replaced by an entirely different boss. In Star Allies, it's Galacta Knight. In Forgotten Land, it's Soul Forgo. The boss that replaces them? The Grim Reaper in butterfly form, Morpho Knight, who came out of hell to tell everyone to stop.

[@SuperSenshi]

Not sure if this would fall under the "scary" category, but I have an example of a bait-and-switch boss. In the original Paper Mario, when you get to Bowser's Castle, you're about to have a rematch with the Koopa Bros., only for Jr. Troopa to come in, one-shot all four of them, and take their place as the boss.

Big Correction on Tiso's whole thing, while you DO see him in the colluseum, you never actually fight him in there, instead if you explore the area where the colluseum is located you find his dead body on the ground, what you guys are talking about with him getting crushed by the Mawlek is what happens in godhome

[@jakeread9668]

No he can show up in the colluseum too if you get there at the right time. If you explore too many other areas first (I think that's the condition but it might be boss related) he dies and you find his body where you saw him. I've seen him in both places in different playthroughs.

[@MasonCookMrFamous]

One of my favorites is in The Wonderful 101, where the Second in Command of GEATHJERK, who is described by the game as being super fearsome and scary, is not only dead by the time you get to him, but was in fact killed by Prince Vorkken, who then proceeds to fight you in one of the most difficult fights in the entire game.

RuneScape has a boss like this. Araxxor is a giant spider who aggressively defends his hive against human intruders, such as yourself. You fend him off for three phases, then just before you can get the killing blow in, an even bigger spider named Araxxi drops from the ceiling onto Araxxor and eats him before she turns to attack you.

[@puru-see]

honestly, when I played it the first time, Borderlands 1 with its bait and switch in front of the Vault was kind of like this as well...while the Destroyer wasn't exactly as scary as he looked, he still took us by surprise considering we'd be expecting a fight against Commandant Steele, and the Vault to be a treasure trove rather than an interdimensional prison for whatever the hell the Destroyer was supposed to be.

One of my favorite examples is Boomerang Flash from Wild ARMs. Boomerang is a recurring antagonist who shows up throughout the game to fight the party, desiring to experience combat. Towards the end he sacrifices himself to save the party, making a note to his partner that he plans to take a little trip to Hell. At this point you can find a boss arena that has you fight tough monsters for prizes. Do a few certain steps, however, and Boomerang will come back from Hell for a rematch... as Boomerang Flash! Not only is he one of the toughest bosses in the game (at least the original version) but his theme absolutely SLAPS!
