[@elsevillaart]

All my games had a mini boss called "the Raging Mom", the way to activate it is by ignoring the call to eat 3 times, good luck in continuing your game, sometimes it had an ultimate attack called "cutting down electricity".

[@toongrowner1]

reminds me of the most feared optional boss for pc gamers: Cat. :D

[@elsevillaart]

toongrowner1 hahaaha deadly attack "walking keyboard attack".

[@toongrowner1]

[@voreldarastrix5486]

SAME

[@cameronmarrs520]

I actually leveled up by playing the cups over and over until I was max level then whomped on him using aeroga as a defense

[@jembozaba4864]

I had a similar experience. I don’t think I lasted one second . I’ve beaten Sephiroth in KH 2 many times. I love that fight. But haven’t gone back to Sephiroth in KH 1

[@stephenclark9070]

@@jembozaba4864 Kinda funny you mention that. I quickly figured out how to beat him in KH1 but still can't beat him in 2. I think he's way harder in that.

[@jembozaba4864]

@@stephenclark9070 Weird. I think he's easier in the second one because of the brilliant combat system. I've beaten all the bosses on KH 2. Didn't even beat one in KH 1

[@jeremiahtayler7868]

I remember telling my friend, as a joke, that you had to be level 99 to really beat kingdom Hearts and unlock the secret ending. Then I realised there were a whole slew of secret bosses and, particularly, Sephiroth. Then I had to level up some and get the ultimate weapon to beat him. Turns out, I wasn't joking, after all...

[@fabioldschoolgamer7911]

Yazmat and his 50 life bars... Hell of a fight that still remains on my mind so many years later ( I beat him on the original version of PS2).

Hitoshura was the only reason I clicked onto this video. Severely disappoint.

[@sugarboy12201984]

Honestly, I wasn't expecting him to be there after finish watching the first minute of the video, the titles they chose showed what kind of gamers they were.

[@Drenix]

I am dissapoint for no mention of Castlevania: Curse of Darkness' Legion

[@mizukiayu]

Night Terror killed me SO hard, he corrupted my SC3 data.

[@ChronoXShadow]

lol no, that's just the SC3's unworked bug. Save data corrupts every freakin' time. But I guess you could blame it on Night Terror :)

[@mizukiayu]

ChronoXShadow Oh I know, if you didn't wait for 5 seconds after saving, pray that it was okay, sacrifice a child, and pat your Playstation, it would corrupt. But yea no, totally Night Terror xP.

[@Joseph1791]

Night Terror is the only secret boss on the list I beat and I was damn proud of that. Beat 'em with Nightmare of all people.

[@Joseph1791]

Because I can...

[@Joseph1791]

[@ArchAngelNL]

Sigrun from god of war especially on gmgow mode

I remember stumbling across Karstagg in Skyrim as a fully leveled mage and getting destroyed every time...as soon as Rob mentioned Skyrim I knew it had to be him

[@renarddubois940]

Sans from Undertale can be considered a secret boss.. and the path needed for you to take in order to be allowed to face him is kinda the very definition of "best left alone"

[@GenGUp]

Undertale is so 2015

[@ghorochak666]

Why "best left alone"? They're monsters. I have a weapon. They ALL must die. I will NEVER do a pacifist run. Had to see too many of my favorite youtubers do it.

God I know that feeling, but you want to know a secret to beating him? Phase 1 weakness: Lightning Phase 2 weakness: Fire Take the Lothric shield with you for extra thunder resist

[@MySkilletfan]

40+ tries. Him and the Dancer are the only bosses that took me more than 10 tries in a Dark Souls game.

[@noisemarine561]

Champion of Gundyr was my biggest challenge... Pontiff Sulivan was the easiest for me

[@AxelJQ]

God I really didn't struggle against him, I died 3 times to him but it was because I kept overestimating him and not drinking Estus when I had to, but after that it wasn't really hard for me to kill him, but I can see why people struggle against him. my top 3 hardest bosses would be: -3 nameless king, -2 dancer of the boreal valley, -1 soul of cinder

[@duncaneigg8819]

God my roommate echoes that sentiment. I was watching him attempt this guy for hours (keep in mind he's played all of the Darksouls and Blood-borne and beat them).

[@x.kalibre]

Ah, but there's a difference between "finishing" a game and "completing" it ^^

[@x.kalibre]

@sceptical legend you're welcome, gravedigger ^^

[@Zorn7Thorn]

Emerald Weapon is indeed a worthy mention, not for being hard, but because you can bump into him pretty early when totally not ready for him yet. The first time he also totally destroyed our party, without any hope of an upset win. Indeed leaves a memorable impression! However, our most memorable win vs him came when Tifa hit the lucky 7 trance, we could put the controller down and watch her pummel him for several minutes till he was dead. Good memories! :D:D

[@TheRealestEric]

I'm still ecstatic I beat Emerald Weapon from FFVII back in the day. I call it one of my top achievements in life. along with getting drunk for the first time, first time I got laid, and first time I got paid. killing Emerald Weapon was a million times harder than all of those, combined.

[@darkdogzstudioz]

with a beard like yours I can imagine those other things were pretty easy.

[@hugeculo]

Easiest boss ever... Gravity and dies like in 2 minutes

[@hugeculo]

+hugeculo quite disappointing once I found that trick :(

[@DLYoung-bu5ui]

+hugeculo I am not certai you know what you are talking about...

[@DLYoung-bu5ui]

Yup - just getting to the point you could defeat emerald was a pain making a black chocobo was, for all intents and purposes, more difficult than finally facing emerald with KotR.

[@mathiasthewise]

If you went back to the PS2, the Demi Fiend from Digital Devil Saga part 1 would of made the cut with ease.

[@overlordalfredo]

In Dark Chronicle (Dark Cloud 2) you can enter a secret chapter with the prequel's final Boss, the Djinn. That one was kinda difficult to kill... I had to put down the game for almost 5 years before I was able to beat it :D

[@one-thirdofakind7138]

Emerald Weapon terrified me whenever I explored the seafloor, I purposely refrained myself from going down there just because of it.

[@roxas1335]

Same.

The worst part is when he spawns right at the exit of the underwater cave you are trying g to get out of

[@oneDonly]

thought ruby was harder. emerald just took awhile

[@KalinaHitanaVTuber]

I thought Ruby was harder too, until I learned that Ruby can actually be paralyzed by use of the Dazers. Once I knew that, it was a simple task of Quad Magic W-Summon KotR while he was paralyzed, miming until he broke free, then doing it all over again

[@oneDonly]

*****​ think I had a master summon matera that I used with final attack.....I think it was. Just took me awhile to master all the summons. My game is saved after I beat them, I wish I didn't do that. Didn't know I could paralyze him

[@karmalapples5942]

Why is this even on a Playstation Access video?

[@Radio-Phil]

Omega weapon was the most memorable one to me for me for two reasons, 1- it's a hellishly long fight that makes you question if this is all worth it multiple time 2- You can only kill him by becoming invincible since he can literally 1 hit KO your entire party when he feels like it.. and this requires a lot of card games to accomplish..

[@divinefallfromgrace]

Just have Rinoa in the Party, use Aura, and make sure she has the 'Invincible Moon' Limit Break learned. Easier to do than aeons of Card play 😉

[@overlordalfredo]

Devil May Cry 2 - the final Secret room with Dante on DMD mode... It is literally the final Boss from the other story line *twice* (as in 2 of them at once) in permanent devil trigger mode in a small room without escape. It took me only 2 attempts to kill them, however translated into playtime that meant *4hrs!*

[@tomkelly7275]

You have no idea how excited I get when I see a new Friday feature in my sub box :D

[@Jodeadible]

Iwajira is hard???? I farmed the hell out of it, compared to other secret bosses in games this one isn't very challenging :S

[@acronyx991]

Eclipse from claptraps dlc was so much harder the first time i fought him, had to fight him quite a few times to kill him.

[@OrionoftheStar]

Oh, yeah. Eclipse was hard as hell. Not quite as bad as trying to solo a raid boss (except for the Invincible Sentinel, obviously. That wasn't nearly as hard as, say, Crawmerax), but still insanely difficult.

[@starman2879]

Well, yeah... I mean, anything is possible through the power of Gibbed. :) Seriously though.

[@harrywalker499]

Two words: Nameless King. That boss and his stupid little bird called the king of storm nearly brought me to tears. At least 20 hours spent battling him but thankfully I eventually defeated him

[@porcodio5872]

Wait for NG+2, lol. Im level 222 and I went into my friends world, NG+5, he one shot me.

[@MrYuntu]

Wasn`t that hard. Overall DS3 is very lacking with challenging fights in regards to its bosses.

[@theprofit8231]

but the Nameless King is the hardest of them all with a 2 in 1 boss fight and other things never got past the first part

[@MrYuntu]

The Profit Well the game does 2 in 1 roughly 4 times.

[@jcmsaucey6555]

+MrYuntu there's a very big difference between the phase bosses and Nameless King. All of the other phase bosses, like Lord of Cinder and Abyss Watchers have extremely similar move sets with a few additions, such as Lord of Cinder gaining lightning spears and a few new sword combos (otherwise he's the base Lord of Cinder), and Abyss Watcher getting fire bonuses to his attacks. All of the other bosses have reasonably lower HP than a normal boss, especially Abyss Watchers and Lorian. Both stages of the Nameless King fight have good health pools, and they are completely different. They also both have a completely BS attack, at least for new players: The drake has the downward fire breath attack, and the Nameless King has that wind wall attack.

[@Iwashere991]

That one boss you need a calculator to beat.

[@SamSarin772]

+SkullKid20999 to beat her you need to fuse orpheus telos with 4 different strong single target elemental skill (niflheim, patha rei, ragnarok, and thunder reign), attack boost, mind charge(optional) and you must defeat her in 30 turns without using item, almighty attack, or anything that relect her attack otherwise she will spam megidolaon until you die.

[@mareczek00713]

Wow, didn't knew she was so problematic for people - she was quite easy for me, that is, not counting the megidolon spam (as I played P3 for the first time I had no way to use the internet so it took me quite some time) :) If you think she's hard to beat you should play Digital Devil Saga on New Game+ and fight the Demi-fiend - not only it's a boss that fights with 3 additional demons, he also resummons new ones if one get's beat and if you think you killed all of his few demons he'll just summon the same ones as he used previously over and over again (endlessly), plus his Titania can actually heal him... Elizabeth is a joke compared to him...

[@andrzejwysocki609]

the ebony warrior in skyrim, dude is nuts.

[@khyberplaysstuff7591]

I killed him in 54 secs by just standing still and spamming my 100 health potions every time I got low.

[@andrzejwysocki609]

you can beat anything in the game with enough potions, lol

[@Heavysandvich24]

I beat the ebony warrior with an iron sword and armor and 10000 potions of ultimate healing (exaggerating)

[@GingahNinja47]

I was level 252 when I fought him, with stupidly powerful equipment that I forged, enhanced and enchanted with the help of potions and enchantments, and if memory serves I still used a couple health potions.

[@andrzejwysocki609]

dude is pretty rough at lvl 80 tho

[@Mare_Man]

Man Gascoigne is harder than Gehrman and the Moon Presence together. Those shark-giants in the Fishing Hamlet though...

[@wakkjobbwizard]

I think Gascoigne is pretty easy. Just stun lock. Fight it or whatever.

[@conor9745]

He really isn't. Only reason people find Gascoigne so hard is because you fight him really early in the game. At that point you're still learning how to play the game properly and Gascoigne forces you to adapt to how the game plays. But Gascoigne and Gehrman are both easy enough when you fight them properly but I would definitely say that Gehrman is harder. On subsequent playthroughs of bloodborne he gives me more trouble than Gascoigne. Moon presence is a joke though lol.

[@GabryyLG]

I beat him on first try and bloodborne mas thr 1st souls game I ever completed. Gehrman on the other hand...

[@HyunYa13]

the amount of salt that covered "bronze" while he talked about sephiroth is too real

[@bberghahn]

Yeah. I totally agreed with the inclusion of this fight. I think when I finally won I was max level, ultima keyblade, and it still took all day or all weekend to get the win. Death counter would probably have been the infinity symbol because it felt that way. But I am glad it was that hard. I’ve titan was already a major pain in the butt beforehand.

[@deamonkingofdrakes]

namless king Dark souls 3

[@heracleum3353]

Why does everyone think that he is hard! It is really weird I found every boss a challenge other than the nameless king and the prince dude. They are the ones other people found hard. I guess that it is just play style differences.

[@darktemple9675]

Meh. I killed him on third try. I died to Aldritch way more often.

+Dark Temple pontiff was harder on me

[@richardbiswell7610]

I think a big thing with dancer is that on top of her moves being erratic, she has a few attacks that do MASSIVE damage. Make one mistake, particularly on ng+ or ++ and it could be the end of you.

One of the best summon tablets you get in the game though, great gear and smithing materials as well! If you ever do a Nintendo hidden boss countdown, he should definitely be number 1

And even then I had to spend HOURS going to the Crashed Gelnika to morph Sources to make that even remotely possible!!! Probably why Rob Chose it to be honest - Back in the day - It was the Epitome of EVIL! So while it is now far surpassed... It was the original WTF IS THAT DAMN THING!?

Why no Nameless King? This list is perfect for him

[@turtlelord9939]

Pretty sure Nameless King wasn't really secret. He could just be avoided. Though yeah, I could easily see him on the list.

[@OJHgaming]

+Turtle Lord All of Archdragon Peak was secret. You had to kill a secret boss to get a secret gesture (the same secret boss lets you go to the secret area with another secret boss and a really weird alternate universe thing I dunno) and then you use the secret gesture on the secret spot next to the secret dragon man then you get taken to the secret Archdragon Peak after sitting there for about 5 seconds, It was quite secret.

[@turtlelord9939]

...Right. I have NOT played DS3. All I knew was that Nameless was optional.

[@snickeringtortoise]

+The OJHgamer well, oceiros isn't really a secret boss

[@TheFilthyCringer]

But he's optional so he's a little secret. But yeah I agree the Nameless king would be good for this list. I personally had no trouble with him one try on NG and two tries on NG+ (Still proud of that) but lots of people have so much trouble with him.

[@venkelos9]

I had flashbacks to Legend of Dragoon's secret boss, Faust, who you wouldn't find if you weren't trying, couldn't hurt of you hadn't accumulated all of the Stardust mcguffin items for one side quest, all over the map, netting you the Vanishing Stone, and THEN he casts Double/Triple of the strongest spells in the game, often; I found him considerably harder than even Melbu Frama, and Frama had five? forms.

[@Chris_P_Bacon62]

The strategy I use against emerald weapon is cait sith's game over trick. Once you master that, you won't even need knights of the round. And if you still want to get it, you can just take the earth harp you get from emerald weapon to this guy in kalm and he'll give you all 3 master materias. It beats having to breed a bunch of chocobos

[@skudzer1985]

Excellent choice for number 1, I would add Ruby Weapon as well. Fun Fact: Emerald Weapon does a move called Aire Tam Storm, which when spelled backwards is Materia Storm (well, not storm, just the word materia). It does more damage the more materia your characters have junctioned. It'll do 9999 if your party is decked out with high level materia.

[@greglarson3048]

i still think penance from 10 would own emerald weapon

[@spikewalker6690]

Ruby Weapon was the biggest headache in that game.

[@Objectorbit]

Emerald isn't really that hard, I feel Ozma's far harder with regards to PS1 FF super bosses. FF7 is an easily cheesed game, and you can just get three characters with multi hit limit breaks, get 'em relatively high level, and stick on one knights of the round. That's four several hit attacks that do massive damage. On another character put slashx2 on and that helps a lot as well. Only three materia counting underwater, and all of these are easy to get.

[@caioporto9234]

That's why Ruby is much more difficult. I didn't find Ozma so hard, it was just TOO MUCH time invested preparing to fight him.

[@SonicCB]

Ruby is fairly easy. Kill two of your three party members, get Mime, hook KotR with HP Absorb, and you're off to the races. Also helps to have Revive hooked to Final Attack and KotR leveled up. Granted, if you have KotR, the Golden Chocobo you get from beating Ruby is kinda worthless, but the AP/EXP is awesome.

[@JRayPG]

I would like to asks about freya from star ocean 3. just the sweetest and one of the cutest little girl you meet in the game whom you fight in a big ass arena where she has 20,000,000 hp and can basically nuke the map at will. Am I the only one who knows about this terror?

[@stevelee5703]

On say your first playthrough and first try yes, shes utter hell and god that Ether Strike... if only it was that powerful in Valkyrie Profile. But once you get good at the game shes fairly easy. I actually find Lenneth to be much harder

[@The1Retribution]

i had more of a problem fighting the Fayte clone with the boss of the game again in the tower on 4d Difficulty. that fight alone took 2 hours. and sooo much grinding to be high enough level to not get one shot.

[@nathanalexandre9043]

I beat them all on first try easy enough and then I went back with, Gusty Bunny because why not. (still won to my dislike though)

[@simplekid4328]

Nirvana from Crisis core. I only beat her last week. Even with level 99 Zack, its like a 20 minute fight

[@ty_sylicus]

I have NO IDEA how I defeated Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts! I suppose teenagers are just so damn tenacious!

[@katanakultist8811]

Elixers maxed out to have plenty of curaga, keep hitting, focusing on rolling at times to let yourself heal, make sure you can have the fast glide too. You can't gauge health for the first while, Dodge and block and take a few runs without using items to practice. You can do it!

[@sidewinDr]

Second Chance. I can still remember the low HP alert sound ringing all throughout that fight because I was almost always at 1 HP thanks to Second Chance.

[@yaboi2500]

Darklurker from Dark Souls 2?

[@sven3540]

yeah, that guy was a bitch and hard to find without a guide.

[@un-capital3666]

Let's not forget old Fumey

[@yaboi2500]

Destructive winds Easy to find, not all that hard to beat. He wasn't a secret boss (Sir Alonne was more of a secret).

[@un-capital3666]

Well maybe you didn't have trouble with him, but he is voted the most difficult and I certainly had trouble. And the run-up can be kind of difficult, not as bad as Blue Smelter but it can definitely be pretty tedious. He also heals if you don't get rid of the 3 Nadalia idols by using the smelter wedges.

[@yaboi2500]

Destructive winds Again, not hard to find. This list is about secret bosses. Raime isn't a secret, he's the final boss of the Iron King DLC. Darklurker is the hardest main game DS2 boss AND he is a total secret. He is located in three different places, all of which you would have never have thought to look. Then, you have to kill everything, light the brazier, and exit the Chasm. Do that three times and you'll finally be able to fight Darklurker. Those chasms are so hard, you would probably give up without someone there to help you.

[@jaredcrabb]

One of the virages in Legend of the Dragoon you had to beat in a certain number of turns or he would likely wipe you unless you were uber high level, which is near impossible in the game.

[@jaredcrabb]

The Gorecyclops from Dragon's Dogma:Dark Arisen could also be here. There is a secret one (at least sort of) that is more difficult then the normal ones. Granted once you get to higher levels with the right strategy he's a cakewalk.

[@DestinyAurion]

the virage your talking about is the one you fight on your way to the dragon block staff and if you are guarding or are in dragoon form (both of which are supposed to halve damage) when the time limit ends and if your characters have at least more than half thier health they will survive the attack and he will die in the process. all killing him in the time limit does is gets you an item and i dont think you get exp if he kills himself. i learned this because i had my dart attacking king albert guarding and miranda in dragoon form using her party healing spell (I forget its name) to heal everyone to max. dart was koed, but king albert and miranda survived.

[@jaredcrabb]

+Destiny Lipp No, the one I'm talking about you don't have to fight. I didn't even know it existed in my first playthrough. If you are sufficiently high level then you can survive without even guarding, but if you're not then even a guard at full hp you will die. You do still get the experience to my knowledge if he suicides.

[@Milhail]

The Chained Gorecyclops is pretty easy if you're a magic archer. Just stand in the entrance and shoot him in the head.

[@joshfunches306]

That isn't nearly as bad as fighting Faust. Trying to find all 50 stardust was hell enough, but getting to him and NOT letting him spawn his clones is challenging. Aside from he, i don't know anyone who has gotten to him and/or beaten him. Still, glad to know someone remembers that awesome game.

[@Strongmount]

If this video ever gets a part 2, I think Rob will definitely be including the Valkyries from God of War

[@chriswilkinson8045]

I remember getting to Night Terror on accident way back in 2005 when the game launched. As I don't consider myself overly great at those type of fighting games I was definitely proud when I beat him as he's definitely no joke!

[@Er404ChannelNotFound]

Nameless King from Dark Souls 3!

[@MegaLordZyren]

he is nothing compared to these bosses, first phase aren't too hard to beat, and second phase you can have a phantom distracting him while spamming him with arrows

[@Er404ChannelNotFound]

Yamato Hotsuin Do it Solo then try saying that it's easy. He also fits the criteria for the obsecure way you get to him through, so he is a difficult secret boss and that's what matters. I didn't have much trouble with him because I've played all of the other souls games, but I can still see how difficult he could be for new players as evidenced by the countless threads on the /r/darksouls3 subreddit that complain about how hard he is.

[@omarshaar3906]

+First Name Last Name ya he is easy. Just dash and slash. I beat him solo Ng+2

[@MegaLordZyren]

First Name Last Name i did fight him solo, i just found this out while being an phantom for some extra souls

[@metaltom2003]

+Yamato Hotsuin Summoning a phantom doesn't count. Beat him solo then come back and let us know how "easy" he was.

[@Dugga49]

The dark Aeons from ffx were straight killers...

[@princezeldris5205]

EresirThe1st not exactly cause his one hit kill attack isn't guaranteed

[@princezeldris5205]

EresirThe1st But if you do get Yojimbo to use Zanmato it reckes everything

[@TheThegoldenspatula]

Once you learn Quick Hit and can teach it to everyone via skill spheres then literally any boss becomes trivial since they almost never get a turn.

[@FalcusDead]

There are methods that greatly increase the chance of the 1 hit kill attack actually. It's based upon how much money you have and how much money you give. I used to get it nearly every single time. From what I recall, as long as you gave at least 100k and gave exactly half of your total money, he would have a drastically increased chance of using it. And being exactly half meant you needed an even amount of gil. It's weird but it used it 2/3 times for me using that method.

[@Skelliiie]

oneshot dark aeon valefor with yojimbo lol

[@BigMobe]

Dark Link from Ocarina of Time was hard. He had all of your moves plus he could jump onto your sword mid swing and strike you on the head.

[@benjamingodoy5334]

You do realize that Dark Link is a Mini Boss and not optional

[@periachi4961]

Dark link isn't optional you need to kill him to get the Longshot in the water temple

[@whydoistillusethissite8626]

Happy 3 year anniversary to this video!

[@SasukeTheCursed]

Isn't the Ebony Warrior supposed to be the strongest boss in Skyrim? I mean I guess its debatable if hes considered secret or not though.

[@Safersephiroth777]

Did you fight him via story misions?

[@SasukeTheCursed]

Safersephiroth777 He will approach you in White Run after you reach max level and challenge you to a fight in the mountains to the very far east part of the map in Skyrim. So not really part of the main story, but not exactly "hidden" either.

[@Safersephiroth777]

Enuma Elish Technically then he isn't a story boss. But I haven't played any of the DLC's so I don't know if he is tougher than that Frost Giant.

[@WexMajor82]

He challenge you then turns his back at you. My level 80 assassin threw his corpse under the bridge in Whiterun.

[@filipcakic7305]

Not hidden, but I assume that nice percentage of people who saw him cheated or exploited the game in some way, because not a lot of people legitimately hit level 80.

[@UltimaSaviorDragon]

Going to say Sephiroth from KHII only because it was the first secret boss that I actually defeated. I scaled from 50 to 84 in one day in the hopes of beating that titan and constantly kept checking every 5 or 6 levels if I was tough enough to take him. That was a good picnic/party day. :P

[@Qazqi]

If we're doing KH2, I'll put in Lingering Will.

[@UltimaSaviorDragon]

I never played him. I do want to though.

[@thewarriorpriest2952]

+UltimaSaviorDragon the Lingering Will is no joke. For one he has more health than Sephiroth and everything is powerful at any range.

[@SoulSin]

Lingering Will wasn't part of the original KH2 if I am not mistaken.

[@thewarriorpriest2952]

+Soul Sin the original no but the 2.5 or complete yes. Still that fight is not one to half fight in.

[@ramonvandebeek]

The dragons post-game DQ8, each one has a stat at 255 and the last one has all stats at 255...

[@luckdragon88]

So Sephiroth...I didnt have trouble with the fight mentioned in this video but, though its been a while, I seem to remember we do encounter that character again in Kingdom Hearts. All I remember is he is standing on a cliff somewhere barren. Its an optional fight which is good because its the one time a boss has beaten me into giving up completely and utterly. I never found a way to beat him and it haunts me to this day.

[@rainyboi6383]

WHAT?! Iwajira is literally the easiest raid boss in the entire Borderlands series! I farm legendaries off him.

[@harvestme79]

I would have definitely put Vermivorous or Dexiduous as the hardest boss from Borderlands, but hey, maybe that's just me.

[@lazyinvadershiya8320]

I had no idea he was a raid boss I thought he was just a regular boss lol

[@Dragonk116]

That's only when your already overpowered yourself. I mean the guy in the video was trying to kill him... UNDER leveled... what an idiot.

[@AesirOmega]

He isn't a raid boss.

[@justinreich2023]

Idk, BUNK3R was pretty freaking easy if you had a decent corrosive weapon. Stand on the invulnerable farm spot and shoot. Easy as pie.

[@felixiris3615]

How about lingering will from kh2? Or the armour boss from bbs? Manus from dark souls? No? Okay.

[@felixiris3615]

My Name Is Donski i havent fought that one lol is it that bad

[@LyfjaSSB]

Felix Iris Literally the most bullshit boss in the entire game. 30% of the boss is spamming dodge, another 30% is spamming Thunder Surge and the last 40% is praying that it works. Getting caught by ONE of his hits will get your entire health bar deleted.

[@mukasi3334]

lingering will is definetly harder than any sephiroth fight indeed

[@twas8brilling]

sephiroth fight is just practice to take on Lingering will

[@felixiris3615]

[@ryugo7713]

Damn I keep watching these videos thinking they’re new but they’re years and years old.

[@chillwaffle2033]

I always found Omega Weapon from FF8 (who you did mention in passing, fair enough) to be MUCH more difficult than Emerald in 7. he's the only optional boss I have never managed to beat.

[@DragoonWarrior790]

William Ramig Omega weapon was insane. Only way I could do it was card mod Laguna's card for 100 hero items. You could try to get lucky with Rinoa's limited moon, but I couldn't pull it off.

[@ShadowLouWolf]

Well, I actually found Última Weapon to bit tad more difficult. Omega, although more powerful, does have a pattern of attacks. Trema from FFX-2... Well, he is an annoying one. Not only you have to fight the equivalent of an Ultima Weapon before him, but you fight him right after the former without time to heal.

[@MetaDragoon]

Sacrifice the Seifer card once you've beaten the card game[and knocked that cocky second in command off her perch] to get 10 x Invul items. Then show Omega Weapon what a bitch is.

[@MetaDragoon]

Or Laguna card, I forget which. but I thought Seifer card gave you God of Wars

[@carlohernadez6829]

[@Bakesale59]

Ebrietas is probably the hardest side-boss in the main world. But don't get me started on half of the jerks hiding out in the chalice dungeons. Some of those guys just aren't fair.

[@TragGaming]

+Bakesale59 The issue I have with the bosses in Chalice dungeons is most of the rooms are smaller than the actual boss arena, so the Chalice itself is against you more so than the boss.

If anything, Sephiroth is easy compare to Xemnas in kh1fm, Terra kh2fm and Young Xehanort in bbsfm

[@johnrizzo9901]

tera in kh2fm wasnt that hard though, sephiroth in kh 1 was incredibly difficult because of the game limitations in combination with so many things jammed into one fight (small stage, 3 one hit kills, no real skills to come back from getting put to 1 hp, etc) whereas kh2 and kh2fm have a lot you can do to mitigate the challenge.
