I thought Mr. Freeze was one of the fairest and best boss fights I have ever encountered. He told you exactly what he was doing, and everything he did was just a counter to what you had done previously. Can't say fairer than that.

[@saltefan5925]

Yep. Both Mr. Freeze and Father Gascoigne are 100% fair as bosses go. Father G fights the same way you do (even has the same starter items as you) with an item that can stun him and a big weakness to molotovs after he transforms. Mr. Freeze is not a difficult fight unless you rely on cheesing bosses.

@@saltefan5925, the only one that doesn't make sense is Mr. Freeze as he actually fights fair. Father Gascoigne technically is unfair as he uses an underhanded tactic of hiding an ability until he has the opportunity. I'm saying he's unfair in the sense of fairness in options, not difficulty

Also, you should have more Pokemon than your starter. Also, that only applies gens 1-3 and gen 7 (for the champion). Gen 4, each starter has a type that beats each other starter besides Empoleon, so you should be fine. If you have Infernape, punch the Empoleon. If you have Torterra, Earthquake Infernape. Also, gens 5 and 6 have a rival weak to you, also, though I guess Gen 7 can count for the champion.

Whilst an optional hidden boss, the Mysterious Figure from Kingdom Hearts BBS (Birth by sleep) is extremely cheaty. He can scatter all of your commands. Most of his attacks would instakill you if you don't have the right abilities (one does even if you do have them) that let you live on 1 hp during a combo, and there are times where he'll even roll in to another combo instantly, killing you anyways. To make things worse, if you're going to 100% the game you have to beat him 3 times, once with each character.

[@300IQPrower]

C’mon guys, this was entertaining but there are bosses that actuslly straight up cheat and aren’t on the list, while the list DOES include: Father Gascoigne, who doesn’t cheat because i don’t think being a lycanthrope amd being transformed against one’s will is really cheating.

That was actually the original Japanese name, but it was changed to Catmancer in English, since the game's target demographic isn't weeaboos who know what "neko" means. Also I find it funny that the Catmancer has the same powers as the Vampire class from the first game, which is an optional bonus class that requires you to beat the toughest and longest sidequest in the game, whereas in the sequel, you get the Catmancer class by beating an easy early-game required boss fight. The difference being that the Vampire uses their own MP to mimic enemy attacks, whereas the Catmancer uses different types of fish to call on different cats who have the proper powers.

Captain Hook is easy peasy with the Augur. When he moves to break his blade into two blades, go behind him, whack him with the augur.

I had no idea you could reset the phase change though. That would have made my life with that fight 1000x easier.

Honestly, any Bloodborne/Dark Souls boss is fair game for sudden transformations. It's not unusual or cheaty at all for such a fight, and Gascoigne is fairly easy, even for a start, as long as you know how to dodge his rampaging attacks and parry them as well. There should be no reason for adding him into this list at all. He doesn't even challenge you to a duel, he just has too much of a bloodlust to handle himself.

Don't really need that. Fighting on the stairs makes him a major cheeseball. Activate the music box when he transforms and the battle is basically done. Had a rougher time with BSB, though that was likely due to my refusal to use the long-form cleaver because of the lower and slower damage.

Oh, and remember how he only does one damage? In the game, any attack that does one damage does not activate the invincibility mode, so Sans does one damage per FRAME, hitting you 30 times a second every time your little heart is even touching one of his attacks. He starts by attacking first with a brutally powerful attack that will kill most players several times till they learn to survive it, his attacks cause a poison effect, and after the mid point of the fight attacks while you are trying to navigate the menu. San's final attack is... nothing. He refuses to end his turn, trying to force you to quit out of boredom.

[@RoboSparkle]

Undertale: Sans and Photoshop Flowey are both cheating bastards. Flowey destroys the familiar battle menu forcing you to constantly dodge all of his randomised attacks (many of which are undodgeable if you are unlucky with patterns), deletes your save file and closes the game entirely. Also, those delicious healing items you've been saving for an emergency? Gone. Sans interrupts his own opening dialogue with attacks that you don't even see until you're most of the way through the boss battle, removes your invincibility frames and dodges your attacks, rendering your weapon and armour frankly worthless. He does let you keep the menu, but only so he can throw bones at you while you're choosing your attack! He stops the fight halfway through to trick you into showing mercy so he can instakill you, and his final attack is to stop you from having your turn so you can't actually fight him. And he keeps track of how many times he's killed you and mocks you for it.

You get three music boxes as a man, then after the third he will always transform no matter what his HP is. After transforming you can get once more use, and after that he is completely immune to it. That said, even if you use them all in a row or with specific timing, you can get absolutely *insane* amounts of damage in that trivializes the fight.

This isn't a "which boss was the most difficult for some but not everyone" video. Maria doesn't cheat, she has basically the same moveset throughout, just with blood and fire. Gascoin also techncially doesn't cheat as he doesn't seem to be in control of his transformation, but he's here for having the most dramatic transition, not being objectively harder.

[@AlbinoMothDragon]

While I didn't personally struggle with gascoigne, I do acknowledge that the fight has some unfair attributes to gascoigne. As you said, he has a beast form, but he also has a pistol that fires like a shotgun and can use it whilst he dual wields his axe, which are two things that the player can never get or do even after the fight. However, he has something highly exploitable, his daughter's music box, which you can use 3 times to stun him for a backstab or another method of high damage. After the third stun however he automatically transforms, and you can use it once more before his humanity fades completely.

How could you forget about the Ultra Necrozma from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon? it's an unfair fight in multiulde of reasons; 1. It's ten level spike from the preivous strongest mon you faced (puting you at a 10 level disadvantage if you don't overlevel) being level 60 2. It's one of the strongest pokemon in the franchise, it's BST of 754 is the 3rd highest in the game behind Mega Rayquaza and Both Mega Mewtwo forms in first with a BST of 780 each and Primal Goundon and Primal Kyogre in second at a BST 770 each. Arceus has a BST of 720 BTW, and that is the GOD of the pokemon world. 3. It has an omnibost to boot (+1 in attack, defense, special attack, special defense, and speed, which is a times 1.5 boost to those stats BTW), making it even faster, tankier and harder hitting than it already is. 4. It's coverage is good and will likely be able to hit something for neutral damage 5. It's level doesn't reflect the game's level progression. The next level 60 you're required to fight is at the end of the main game. 6. It's ability is basically an Expert Belt, an item that gives a 20% boost to damage when using a super-effective attack. In other words you're likely to be outspeed and swept before you can even do anything. I was 16 levels below and the fight was awful, but I've seen videos of people who are over level 50 and still being swept like dirt that tried to pick a fight with a broom and dustpan. Unless you use the Focus Sash/Toxic combo, have a Zoaroark to exploit the AI, build your team around this fight or any other cheap tactics (FEAR, Destiny Bond, etc.) the fight is beyond cheap and not fun at all. The Bed of Chaos can't be as bad as Ultra Necrozma in terms of how unfair it is, at least there your progress is saved to a degree in that fight. In fact it actually has me worried about the next Pokemon games as I'm genuinely afraid of cheap/bulls**t difficulty infecting them, I may have put 460+ hours into Dark Souls 3 and love the game, but at least the difficulty is fair 90% of the time in that game. I like harsher difficulty in video games now, but only when it's fair, the Ultra Necrozma fight is anything but fair. Here are some numbers under the assumption that Ultra Necrozma has a neutral nature and 31 IV's across the board. HP: 205 ATK: 224, B 336 DEF: 140, B 210 SPK: 224, B 336 SPDef: 140, B 210 SPD: 178, B 267 Good luck survivng hits from that.

Out of all of the bosses in Bloodborne yo pick big daddy G, which as it turns out is one of the easiest fights in the game. That is once you learn that you have a gun. Not to mention using the music box once he changes into your grandmother makes the second part of the fight simple. You can still just use your gun to parry him in that form but learning his timing is a bit of a higher skill thing in that form. All of that but no mention of Jak 2?
