7 Most Heartbreaking Ways To Lose A Boss Fight

[@Retrophoenix-]

How about when you're too busy focusing on the boss that you don't remember to watch where you're going and then walk straight off a cliff

[@thelonesomewanderer8359]

[@savvysnake7711]

Power cut says, "I see you haven't saved in a while!" *evil smiles.

[@miraihibino1277]

Oh god that is the worst thing ever! Happened to me while I was doing the Dustia trick for experience in Final Fantasy 12 several years ago. I had just gotten back to the safe area, levelled up all the way to level 50 something and sold all my loot worth several thousand gil. I am LITERALLY touching the save crystal and the "save game" option pops up when the screen goes dark. I think i sat there in uncomprehending silence for several seconds before I screamed out of frustration.

[@alessandropezzoli9717]

not really a "you haven't saved in a while" bit for me... but damn god it happened to me when i was still stuck on Sephirot in KH2... i had tried like 50 times at that point, i was about to strike the final blow... and literally when the Keyblade was about to strike him and take away that last bit of health the power goes out... biggest rage moment in my gaming history

[@linux750]

This why I ALWAYS shut down my PS4 whenever I hear the mere HINT of a thunderstorm approaching. If I don't, a lightning strike a few miles away will cut my power which will knock my PS4 out for *_hours_* . Which leaves me worried about my console the way a loved one worries about a family member battling an illness in a hospital.

[@noblesseoblige1076]

Happened to me whilst playing Yakuza kiwami... I had made good progress at the end of the game. Climbed up the ranks in a racing mini game, played a skimpy card game w/ insect women, won a few rounds of darts and in between it all majima's glorious self would fight me and offer loads of exp. and I maxed out my abilities. Mind you this was 2-3 hours of general progression before I went to go fight a big baddie. Then it happens. My PS4 was plugged up to what was essentially a big 🔋 that protects it in the event of storm power surges (and also powers it) and my little brother comes by and flicks the power switch and the screen goes off. I then got mad, yelled and went to my room... Amd haven't played kiwami since. Thank you for coming to my long texted TED talk.

[@olgierdvoneverec4135]

[@SwaggaKingCold]

When you forget to restock on items before the boss fight😑

[@mi1kyj037]

And (depending on the game), you save at a point where you can't turn back to restock, you've locked yourself into 'hardcore mode'

[@GeorgeMearing]

Happened to me at the end of resident evil 2 remake. Had to start from the beginning because I was too cocky and thought "oh, I don't need multiple saves! I've done the original so many times before" BIG mistake!

[@christopherdavidson17]

How about the reverse? You use that expensive/rare item/buff and flub it and waste it thus cant use it again. (Ie. Souls game and the elemental paper/rub)

[@PomPomNomi]

I kinda did this with Lightning Returns’ final boss. Boy, did I made the biggest mistake ever. All I needed was some potions to refill my gauge and slow down time to stack up that stagger.

Hurts when you’re nearly done the boss fight, then the boss pulls some shady move of pure death, hitting you 450,075 times in 3 seconds

[@Danikah23]

This. Especially when it comes down to the wire, you have like 1 HP left, but you finally deal that last blow...! ...then the boss pulls a last resort "screw you" move, and your heart feels like it exploded into a gazillion tiny shards...

[@tremor230]

What about the "LoL! You thought I had two phases? Poor fool, I HAVE THREE!" And then they turn into demi-gods and you have 3 HP and zero healing stuff...

[@projectporlop2293]

Or has a literal death causing move, like the final boss of FF13

[@buecherdrache1]

Or the boss, that pulls the shady move of self-healing, that activates when you basically have him dead already. And you are out of stamina or magic or your best ammo and you realize that you now have to take of half his health again, but with much worse weapons/powers.

[@darthgorthaur258]

@@woteveruk1 I have literally just asked this exact same thing lol

[@Richtor]

I submit to you that the most heartbreaking way to lose a boss fight is the double-down. When you manage to strike the deathblow on a boss at the exact moment it hits a killing blow on you; forcing you to reload a save and do the battle again.

[@matthewharris6113]

Bruce McLavy Happened to me with Rom in Bloodborne, one of the spider mobs hit me just as I finished it off but thankfully the game counted me killing Rom and I didn't need to do it again xD

[@mikejenkins4924]

This so much. Normally this one goes hand in hand with greed though.

[@roachxyz]

Worse is when you beat the boss but it falls on you and kills you. I can't remember the game though.

[@Linkandro]

@@roachxyz That exact same thing happened to me in Lost Planet. After many hours of trying I finally had beaten a gargantuan alien when I let go the controller to celebrate just to watch how its frozen carcass obliterated my idle character. Heartbreaking, truly heartbreaking. D:

[@SirRavix]

That happened to me in Witcher 2. I killed the boss, the cutscene of Geralt killing him started but he managed to hit me right before I dealt the killing blow. His sword was poisoned so I started taking poison damage right before the cutscene started. Anyway, the cutscene of Geralt killing the final boss gets interrupted by a game over screen and I have to reload...

[@CosimaEthosdeiAmira]

Here’s another heartbreak: in JRPG turn base games when you are poisoned/burnt and you defeat the boss, but then because it is the end of the turn your last remaining HP is taken away. You died so you lose, even though you won. Urgh!!! That has happened to me way to many times 😫

Lmao the no pause in bloodborne, That’s scary how accurate that was! I was in the middle of a boss fight and I had to let my brother in from school, and he’s spamming the doorbell and the dog is going nuts, and i couldn’t just let him sit there for for like the next 10 mins so.... I got up with my controller in hand and just mashed the dodge button, luckily I was facing probably the least aggressive boss, The witch of hemwick, and I run all the way down the stairs quickly unlock the door sprint all the way back up still mashing the dodge button and I somehow survived! And I ended up beating the boss it’s one of the easier ones if you know how it works and it was my second playthrough so yeah... that was very accurate lol :D

[@OneMHz]

accidental or surprise boss fight when you haven’t saved in a long time.

[@adrianposkonka8331]

I had a similar problem in Turok Evolution, minus the not saving part since the game autosaves after finnishing a level. When I was playing through the levels in the suspended city, I encountered a boss; a styracosaurus with a pair of machine guns mounted to its sides. The thing is, I had no idea it was a boss until I found out that it will get up after you'll "kill" it several times, which occurred after it dropped to the ground and I saw it get back up (I though a second one was spawned in at first when it flung me across the arena because I payed no attention to it after seeing it start the falling animation because there were other enemies that needed to be taken care of). So not only was it a surprise boss, but it was also one with multiple stages and required me to use the heaviest weapons in my arsenal to the point of nearly running out of ammo for said weapons.

[@empurress77]

@@adrianposkonka8331 Parasite Eve has a point where you haven't been able to save for a long while before a save point ("Are you really reeeeally sure you don't want to save???"). You're probably low on health and ammo and then you get immediately thrown into a huge battle. Then it doesn't matter even if you reload you'll never have enough health or ammo to get past that battle. *Sigh

I remember seeing a clip of a guy fighting the Guardian Ape in Sekiro, and you can tell he had some trouble with him, because in the last phase je got the deathblow to end the fight, and he started jumping around the room excitedly. Thing is, boss fights in Sekiro have TWO final deathblows to end boss fights, and he only did the first, so while he was jumping around with deserved, albeit premature excitement, the Ape wasn't actually dead, thus he recovered and killed the player before he knew what was happening.
