Seeing the Deathstroke boss fight in Arkham Knight be a Batmobile fight, was one of my most disappointing game moments.

[@bobwallett]

Yeah. I was hoping to mash his face in after the tank fight

[@goncalobaia1574]

Truer words were never spoken. They even made a buildup which just culminated in another Arkham Knight

[@chrisrobinson481]

Especially after how AWESOME the Deathstroke fight in Arkham origins was

[@andresfajardo6838]

That was my number 1 disappointed moment for a while until this year with the stupid "are you done with your bad standup routine?" And Batman getting killed while putting up no fight whatsoever

[@undary0u]

​@@andresfajardo6838 he didn't put up a fight because he was already beaten 💀

[@Max_Ivanov_Pro]

The struggle of running back to the Bed of Chaos fog gates after each attempt is a special kind of torture.

[@ravenstuart3353]

3 tries. Maybe I’m just a lil cheese boy (I am completely a lil cheese boy)

[@michaelwolford8570]

That shit sucked fr 😂 If it didn’t save progress I would’ve used the firebomb cheese fs 😂

[@izznazhanzur]

shut up crypto bot you have no right to talk

[@izznazhanzur]

shut up crypto bot you have no right to talk

[@8ogl]

Fighting it regularly is just miserable but since starting doing SL1 runs I simply use the bow & firebomb method which completely trivializes the fight basically to the point where it’s free. Pretty consistent and easy to pull off strat. Bed of Chaos really shouldn’t hold anyone off from (re)playing and enjoying DS1.

[@nitindasiah991]

I like how when he says "Video games are not meant to be a walk in the park", it cuts to Heavy Rain's scene where you walk in a park

[@Relp7357]

In Uncharted 2s final boss, the boss says “stand your ground” ironically if you listen to him and stand your ground next to one of those exploding resin things and just let him grab you and hit you and repeat until the resin regrows you’ll beat him no problem. I did it on crushing my 2nd attempt. It’s more of a bug than a feature tho.

[@Meedster08]

Yeah that’s a bug. I think it only exists on the remastered version. But I could be wrong

[@gaminggoof1542]

To be Frank the final boss in 4 is a bitch too.

[@mikespike2099]

Tip with Uncharted 2 is to just hit L when he is near the blue blob near the tree bridge … get him to follow you anti-clockwise in the area and run to the end of the tree bridge turn around and wait for him to run towards you …it’s the only area you can guarantee to hit him as it forces him into a bottleneck … there is a chasm below the tree where if he throws grenades while you are lining up the shot most of them will fall below. It’s the only way I got to beat him! What’s annoying is you have to do this 2-3 times! 😢

[@KeanuChrist]

The Mist Noble from Sekiro was definitely the straw that broke the camel’s back for a majority of players. Hardest Fromsoft boss ever made.

[@Ryan-tn4gk]

It took me 3 full days to beat him. I almost quit the game after that

[@raniasaad8772]

are u guys trolling? i hope so

[@mrtguero]

That boss actualy changed my life. I tried for hours to beat him (her?) then I was like "what the hell Im doing with my life" and deleted the game. Now Ima businessman

[@najmussakib3555]

​@@raniasaad8772don't worry,fellow human.They are,in fact,trolling.It's the same with soldier of godrick in elden ring.

[@6StringGaming]

I had my friend stream his play through for me and I convinced him that mist noble was gonna destroy him so he left the area to rest first lol

[@imnotmike]

My roommate and I have a deal going. He lets me live in his house rent free, but every time he plays Batman Arkham Knight, when he gets to the excavator fight he hands me the controller, and I have to get him through it. No joke.

[@MrSpartan993]

Geez he’s raking you over the coals with that deal.

[@Frost4Real]

How often does he replay the game then 😂

[@RyuLongRHOG]

The things we do for rent.

[@REDEEMERWOLF]

You sound like a freeloader lol

[@bearpoop720]

It's not even a hard fight lol. How often does he die in just regular classic combat?

[@billy91011]

The bad guy from Fable 2. You go through the entire game gearing up for this epic boss battle and you don't even get it. If you don't shoot him during his monolog someone else will and the fight is over. There is a boss but no fight

[@caseydarrah]

At least the Crawler is a proper boss in Fable III.

[@SirusCreed]

It’s better than the entirety of fable 3

[@TheNerdzerker]

Always loved how even the intro to Borderlands 2 pokes fun at the final boss of the first game.

[@ARIXANDRE]

In Elden Ring, I knew I had signed up for a challenge but Margit didn't even buy me some wine before destroying me.

[@hagalazrune1410]

He’s really not hard once you learn his pattern

[@LAOCHPadre]

Margit killed me way more than old dragon hands did.

[@creedns]

I never beat the bitch at the Erd tree. I tried every hack I saw online. Just gave up on the game after that.

[@D4rkKn1ght311]

Find a good summon or learn the attack patterns

[@lewscoey5607]

*laughs in malenia*

[@tychobrodie7403]

DDDDRAKE!!! drove me crazy trying to get through it on hard level

[@dumblecore]

lol yes I actually quit the game and watched the ending on KZbin. Wtf was that? Godskin Duo was a disaster too. Glad they were named in the video!

[@mikespike2099]

[@Keitreth]

The redeeming quality for Destroyer is how cool fighting Eridians on the way to the vault was. Like sure, the boss itself was very underwhelming, but the path to it really delivered imo

[@georgen5882]

That area was cool and actually took effort as well. I just did it again recently and it felt like a difficulty spike getting there. Not necessarily in a bad way, but you had to be careful or the flying dudes would chew through your health.

[@Laughy-Flaaffy]

Loved Lazarvich, and that boss fight was amazing 🤣

[@Aloyus_Knight]

ARE YOU MAD?! ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS!

[@MementoMori9015]

Lazarvich: I am surrounded by traitors and fools! 😡 Me: You talking about yourself Lazar-bi..h? 😏 Honestly he’s was an awesome villain, the moments/cut scenes that you spoke with him genuinely made me scared for Nate and everyone else. 😂

[@genericbread175]

Agreed! Idk how he say the entire game was good EXCEPT for the final boss, when the Train Captain was at least hundred times more annoying!

[@JawaPenguin16]

I actually thought the final fight in Uncharted 4 was a really fun way to end the game. While also not being infuriating!

[@kevin_hunter4822]

Which fight is that exactly

[@tylermerritt6370]

@@kevin_hunter4822it’s a sword duel inside a burning pirate ship

[@D4rkKn1ght311]

Bro you thought that was hard, try going for the trophy. No Damage and perfect parrying are required.

[@Renoistic]

I really like the last fight before the time skip in TLOU2. It's more like a stealth fight with a lot more variables than in the stealth boss in the first game. On Grounded it's really scary haha

[@Xoulrath_]

I played Uncharted 4 on the hardest difficulty, mostly rolled through the game, then was treated to a fucking QTE boss fight. Fun times. I didn't even bother to beat the game. That was like a year ago whenever it became available on PS+. I might revisit it at some point, but it honestly ruined the game for me.

[@redohealer2]

He said the Destroyer from Borderlands 2, instead 1

[@Mrchair905]

Yeah I put the vid back to make sure I heard it right, good to know I’m not the only one lol.

[@laterdude89]

I did the exact same thing😂

[@warhawk1215]

Yea i was confused when it came in 2

[@xxrumbl3f15hxx3]

I rewound the video just to make sure I heard BL2 for the Destroyer. Makes me wonder how much accuracy there is for the other games I don’t have countless hours in.

[@retro_451]

I did that too 🤣

[@unathigaga1160]

Isaac frost in EA Fight Night still raises my blood pressure to this day

[@mikerodriguez8574]

Yes this is true. Such a good game to end so bad. All I wanted to do was smash Isaac and EA wouldn’t let me. Such a let down.

[@bramdonbrutus3711]

Has to hit him with 85 body shots wtf

[@samuraicheems23]

My god, hearing Falcon say the line “so anyway I started blasting” in Lezarevic’s voice was something I didn’t know I needed to hear until now 😂

[@abhineetagarwal1438]

I would love for you to do a series where you point out boss fights which are initially very easy and then they suddenly become amazing and highly memorable

[@bbkr2063]

Quake 1. Easiest boss ever, you do not have to fire single shot. But I still remembet the joy when it finally exploded after beating the game on Nightmare difficulty.

[@manojmadhugeetham6351]

[@ade9654]

I kinda want to hear Falcon sing Trogdor though!

[@grillmeisterkush6396]

Yeah that was a slap in the face

[@user-ui8sp5th4g]

Mortal Kombat 9 Shao Khan final boss fight. Took me two weeks to finally beat him. They make his damage insane and literally he spams moves over and over until he kills you. His xray attack basicaly deals some crazy damage and yeah it just isn't fun.

[@MonkeyPowerkey]

Fighting game final bosses by tradition are hard as hell tho.

[@Gemmasis]

OMG when Falcon does an accent, it always cracks me up!😂😂😂

[@rendereduseful1005]

The godskin duo the worst boss they ever did ? Idk about that one boss.

[@Jatt2613]

Yeah, the Godskin Duo was annoying but not that bad. I had more trouble with Ornstein and Smough back when I originally played DS1. With Godskin Duo, you've got summons, you can put them to sleep, you can use bleed to take big chunks of their health off, and more, but you had none of that in DS1.

[@gasselik]

The problem of the Godskin duo is that many people i've see tend to belittle dps damage as poison or bleed, they go raw power and when they face 2 boss, they got destroyed, complaining the boss, then search online solutions

[@willmael7914]

godskin duo was nerfed. during launch, the boss was apparently pretty hard, shitty, and annoying (i wouldn't know, i played and finished the game months after launch). so it's likely that falcon was talking about pre-nerfed godskin duo the nerfed godskin duo i fought was pretty easy imo

[@data3419]

​@@willmael7914 Yeah pre nerf duo was worse than malenia ever was

[@willmael7914]

@data3419 the damage falcon is doing to the godskin duo in the vid is pretty miserable too. like if you're chipping away at a boss's health, ofc it's gonna be a pain in the ass

[@LAOCHPadre]

Am I the only masochist who loved the Godskin Duo battle? It was so challenging, but so much fun. Beating that boss battle felt like a huge accomplishment. Maybe not Ornstein and Smough, but still very good.

[@connorborchert9684]

At least for the spider guardian, you have a massive amount of energy tanks, unlike the miserable hell that is the boost guardian, especially on hard

[@SaiyanBroly]

Terranigma, the last game i played on the SNES and such a surprisingly heart-wrenching experience. I waltzed through most of it's bosses though, that village with the zombies everywhere was a great spot to level up.

[@zordiark9673]

The wolfes in the Snowy Region are pretty good too.

[@TheMadSocrates]

Terrarnigma's honorable mention reminds me that that's just something that team does cause Illusion of Gaia, their previous game, also has a random dramatic difficulty spike boss against vampires.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Eh, Jack and Silvana weren't that bad at all- sure, they were probably the hardest boss in the game (which, to be honest, is a cardinal sin because NO game should ever have a non-bonus boss that's harder than the end boss), but IoG's bosses were mostly pretty easy anyway (the worst ones were just tedious, like the Mummy Queen and the Sand Fanger) and the Vampire Couple were merely challenging. Bloody Mary, on the other hand, was just overtuned. Honestly, you can deal with her pretty reasonably just by grinding up maybe 1-2 extra levels (because stats mean a LOT in Terranigma, to the point that a single level can be the difference between killing easily and dying miserably) and ideally going back and equipping a Light-element weapon, which even if it's weaker will exploit her elemental weakness. But she can still be frustrating and her attack pattern is genuinely hard to deal with.

[@zordiark9673]

@@ArcaneAzmadi In terranigma, every boss is showing you signs if youre underleveled or not. If you do crappy Damage on the boss, but reasonable on the Trash packs.. go grinding. But Bloody Mary wasnt just 1 or 2 lvl to grind, it was a whole 7 if you just rushed through the game. YOu can get there with lvl 18 pretty easy, but you should have at least lvl 23 to do more than 1 Damage. This Boss is a Gamekeeper and sucks.

[@kayanims]

That Batman escavator fight literally broke my controller. I get ptsd just thinking about it

[@timmymckenzie7928]

Can't imagine having trouble on that, you just look at the map and do a few loops in the tunnels, it's like the easiest fight in the game

[@kayanims]

@@timmymckenzie7928 I am happy you had an easy time.

[@NoNanoGM]

i just love when falcon makes those "old man screams at cloud" videos, hear him letting out all his frustration it's so entertaining

[@larsus1436]

I kid you not, I beat the godskin duo on my first try. Yep. I think I managed because I had to repeat the the thin godskin (Apostle) solo boss fight (I think it was inside a tall tower) dozens of times, so I ended up mastering it and learning its patterns. The fat godskin (Noble) in my opinion wasn't that bad. If it makes you feel better, I was at the end of my rope when the fight was over, with no flasks left and at less than half health

[@Amins88]

The noble is typically really annoying in other encounters because of its unavoidable rolly polly move, but that arena gives you a bunch of giant pillars that let you just wait it out from safety.

[@TheFallingFlamingo]

I did as well, but I did a replay of DS1 before Elden Ring, so once I got used to Morgott things were pretty simple. If you've killed Ornstein and Smaugh, the Godskin Duo are a piece of cake. The room is smaller, but you still have pillars for LOS dodge and your character is so much faster and maneuverable in Elden Ring compared to DS1. It's just divide and conquer.

[@KrustyCrout0n]

You missed the i think second encounter with the eyeball monster in RE2r. You have to get him knocked off of a platform twice but unless you have 2 flash bangs to stun him, he will grab you and pull you off with him.

[@scwintz101]

nice. i have never seen terranigma on any list ever. that is one of the coolest snes games ever made.

[@tonygorney9556]

Didn't have a problem with godskin duo, fire giant really pissed me off tho lol

[@DanielJamesShirley]

Yeah I’ve not had issues with them even though was dreading first time I fought them. Found the final bosses way more annoying.

[@jonathanwiatt3461]

The home star runner reference just made my day ❤😂

[@xt3100]

i really feel like the BorderLands 1 end boss was meant to be that bad. as a joke, its right within that games humor. Going for the whole "That's it?! THAT is the big threat you talked up?!" kind of reaction.

[@Jeremiah12thLvlGeek]

Godskin Duo is definitely rough the first time if you don't know the gimmick. But Once you have sleep crafting, you can take one out while concentrating on the other. I wouldn't say it's cheesing, since it is the intended use of the mechanic. If anything, I would say the bigger issue is that sleep only gets a chance to shine like this a few times in the whole game.

[@ericlamb4501]

Well, he did mention you can cheese them, but, like a lot of stuff in Elden Ring, or generally any Souls title, is that it's not really ever explained and put away in some corner that you can easily miss up to that point.

[@twinlyplays_backup]

Hopefuly dlc more sleepytime junction stuff

[@MatzoiWu]

if you have a maxed out mimic tear it's not that hard to get past them. I killed them in my second try and I was expecting much worse after reading about them online.

[@plehis123]

Godskin duo doesn't even need sleep pots. It's so easy to just beat them.

[@BlackMage969]

To be honest it's not just the spider guardian that's miserable, there's also the Boost guardian, High damage, Unpredictable, and after an already miserable level. I have died so many times to it...

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

The worst part about The Imprisoned is that they brought it back for the first Hyrule Warriors game, where it functions the same way, but now it's in a game that's all about rapidly dispatching hordes of enemies like an unstoppable force if nature.

I don't get how people can complain Elden Ring has too many reused bosses with a straight face. Has nobody played God of War (2018)? Where the first boss is also the last boss, then there are 10 trolls, 6 ancients and 7 valkyries, with mostly minor variations between them.

[@tyg9425]

God of war is based off of tales of awfully scary beings why complain about them

[@AZ_The_Dude]

I will contend that Elden Ring has some of the worst bosses in all of From's catalogue. Not all the bosses are poorly designed, overpowered, imbalanced. But my God, a fair amount of them feel pretty poorly designed, overpowered, and imbalanced.

[@Hermes4ndMind]

Godskin Duo: the first encounter with the snail was probably the most rage inducing with having to run back to the boss from far away. This second encounter, I somehow 1st tried it. The secret was being over-leveled...

[@Venus_Raven]

The only saving grace for the god skin duo fight is getting to hear that amazing boss music again

[@enochroot9438]

[@Blackstonelegion]

Diciple Zr'ell from Baldur's gate 3. This Boss fight is really annoying. All Z'rell does for the entire fight is Spam her Black Hole which slows down your party and prevents them from using bonus actions. Follow that up with the fact that she's got a bunch of Cultist backup that constantly Buff eachother and hit really hard and you are in for a Rough time. But luckily if you know how you can skip this fight entirely.

[@isaacstevenson7971]

You need to get through the staircase as fast as possible too or they’ll block it off with hunger of hadar. That in combination with the black hole makes it so you can take like a step and a half lmao. I found a good trick was to just use ice storm on them before getting close enough to initiate the conversation. It will start combat but everyone in the middle will take a ton of damage and possibly get knocked down, and all the weak guys next to them will die. Also helpful if you have the Harpers recruited because they will take guys out with their bows and absorb some damage for you.

[@jasonhagan3562]

That excavator in Batman AK is really easy to just avoid until you're ready. I just avoided the guy and learned the next chase tunnel until I got it down, rinse and repeat

Bro, Lazarvich was cool, with just the right amount of challenge.

He was just some dude on a train with a gun and some grenades 😡

When you come across an annoying boss in a game that you like to replay, check how speedrunners deal with it.

[@robertcarter1990]

There's two that need to be on this list, the final boss of Gun, he's so annoying and completely ruins an otherwise amazing game. Then there's the final boss of the scorpion king game. I seem to remember that you need to collect these gems to level yourself up throughout the game but they aren't easy to find, if you don't collect enough then the final boss becomes so difficult

[@Franklinsbrother]

A boss only weirdos like me know about is the final Boss of Red Faction 2. He starts in a Power Armor that cuts through your health quickly and the only cover in the room quickly gets torn apart by the missiles. When you do finally destroy the Power Armor, he fights with a Railgun which, if it hits you and you don't have any medkits in your inventory, kills you instantly.

Lazarevic's lines are ingrained in my brain... "You THINK you can stop MEEE???" "DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE" "YOU WILL NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF DESTINY" It was a mistake to play that game on crushing

[@theyinyang1103]

My vote is for Micolash in Bloodborne, if you dont have poison to cheese him, the fight is just exasperating.

[@robertsnodgrass3923]

Hahahah love it - it sounded like Strong Bad crossed over with Mojo Dojo!

*The Destroyer from Borderlands 1 (Borderlands 2 was 'The Warrior')

[@bumblethebeadle3504]

"Seriously, they sound nothing alike." - P. Tannis.

[@Magothys]

The final boss from Dark Cloud. I spent the entire game focusing on only using the main character, a sword user. At the end of the game, the second phase of the final boss can only be damaged by ranged attacks, requiring you to switch to a ranged character (the only time the game does this in a fight). This wouldn't be so bad if the boss didn't also regularly use an arena wide unavoidable attack. This left me having to enter the fight with an inventory dedicated to healing, and hoping I could cherry tap the boss with the bad ranged character before I ran out of items.

[@cjrensh]

I absolutely destroyed The Destroyer in Borderlands 2. Gaige max anarchy and 1 clip of the SMG I had back then. Melted his ass

[@jusarcamrez9231]

[@rolandovaldesjr.706]

QTE bosses are perfect in games like Uncharted because it's such a cinematic, story driven game that it fits right in

[@keithbalbi3927]

The first time I faced the Godskin duo I used the mimic tear - the only time I've ever used assistance of any form in a Fromsoft game. I then decided no, that wasn't good enough, so I started a new playthrough from scratch, levelled up better throughout the game and upon reaching the Duo I killed them 2nd attempt. No sleep, no assistance, no spells. Pure melee. It was pretty easy. As soon as one goes down you have time to take the other down. Rinse and repeat. Neither of them had a chance to go to their phase 2.

[@iainjames03]

I recently got the Arkham Trilogy Remaster on Switch. It's jarring how much A.K. *_forces_* you to use the Batmobile. Not that it's there if you want - you progress a certain way in a mission and Batman says "Oop - better get the Batmobile for this!" Coming off a two-game stretch where pretty much the only vehicle you ride is the Tiger helicopters when you're trying to scan them, this is egregious as the forced 'boat stealth' mission in Assassin's Creed 4 - except it's across a whole game.

[@DrtyALGreen]

If I remember correctly I figured out a cheese strat myself to beat Barrett as I had a stealth build. It took forever to get to that point and was VERY frustrating.

[@frankeckhardtii9072]

Wow, i haven't heard Terranigma mentioned in a long time. Do they ever mention Soul Blazer or Illusion of Gaia? First time i played that Terranigma boss, i was on an emulator, and Save states got me through it.

Dude thank you so much for that terranigma mention 😭♥️♥️ that was my favorite games growing up, my uncle gave me an SNES emulator and I went and beat that game and E.V.O the search for gia both of which I think are underated classics ♥️ the ending of terranigma and realization of the main characters true reason for existing still holds a heart breaking spot in my core.

[@mischa1981]

FromSoftware even apologized for the whole Izalith / Bed of Chaos area. They simply ran out of time and FromSoftware deadlines were very tight back in 2011. They also didn't want to delay the game further so Miyazaki did what he could and you can see the end result. That's also why you never see the Witch of Izalith except in the intro cutscene, it simply couldn't be done in time. The same with the 6th archstone in Demon's Souls. The area DOES exist, but in a pre alpha stage with some enemies and a boss in the files that can be restored. I think it was Lance MacDonald who restored the whole level until it was "playable". Since Miyazaki is President of FromSoftware now, they have more crative freedom. Elden Ring got even delayed due to the pandemic, which was unthinkable back in 2009 / 2011. And yes, I also find no excuse for the Godskin duo except that this boss is extremely annoying. I never made it alone.

Hearing falcon spit the opening to gone guru made my day lol 🤌

[@alfyb4512]

So one thing about the godskin duo: there’s an extra summon if you enter through the other door. With your ashes, you’re now 3 against 2, and it’s actually quite easy without any cheesing.

[@rogueone207]

Im so glad you mentioned arkhem knight in this list cause i always thought I'm just that bad at this game with that stupid tunnel chase sequence😭

[@Nightmerica]

The final boss of The Callisto Protocol. He’s completely out of place in that game - like, a Resident Evil boss found its way into the game. It’s also completely, ridiculously difficult compared to anything else in the game. Just a really poorly thought out final encounter.

[@Eishern]

Ah Terranigma, havent heard that name for years. 6 years old me fighting bloody mary for over an hour because every attack only dealed 1 damage. Good memories :D

[@Zalwalloo]

The boss fights in the Kotor games. You can quite easily make it to the end fight no matter how bad your build is, but if you didn't do your build correctly, the final fights are impossible. And also, you rely on your companions for the entirety of the game and then they're removed. Leaving your only option really being just running around, spamming mines, or having to load a save from an hour+ ago.

Anyone know the song that plays right at the beginning until the countdown in the video properly starts?

[@dinkomalinko8585]

The House from ff7 wrecked me for so long I had to lower difficulty to easy after a couple weeks

[@speedingoffence]

The hardest boss in Elden Ring was the 3rd guardian in the Haligtree. Eventually I just ran past him, letting my Mimic be a distraction, hit the respawn point, and then cheesed him with dozens and dozens of arrows. I guess I could have just kept running. Seriously, I had less trouble with Melenia. She's actually "easy" if you have a light build. You can roll right out of that move that she does that everyone complains about.

[@tomswift3482]

In Uncharted 2 - listen to Lazarevic - get by a source of blue sap, punch him, let him grab you - he says "Stand Your Ground!" Do just that - shoot the sap, and repeat until done. No running, no muss, no fuss. You just have to repeat the sequence the number of times required for the difficulty level at which you are playing.

[@Zombie1Boy]

TBF the Barrett fight is managable for a stealth focused character. You just need to grab all the rare EMP grenades lying around the chicago suburbs and throughout the FEMA facility to have a chance.

[@jad43701]

Barrett from Deus Ex:Human Revolution, was a complete pushover. All you have to do is get into air vent on the right side of the room, and follow it to where you are above him. He can't hit you, but you can wipe him out in no time.

Dead Rising needs to come back

[@patmalloy3569]

Falcon went full Morty talking about the final boss lol

[@BraKahan]

I almost got mad when Falcon said The Destroyer from Borderlands 2 was the worst boss until it was clear he was talking about the boss from the first Borderlands. The Borderlands 2 final boss was actually a lot of fun while Borderlands 1 boss is justifiably the worst

[@danielkraus8110]

I remember playing dead rising when it came out and those damn convicts definitely made me rage quit.

[@Aussie_Tom]

Ok, so I gasped a little at the bonus entry. Terranigma still sits high on my list of my favourite JRPGs of all time. It's an almost yearly replay for me but you never really see it mentioned, like, anywhere. The problem with Bloody Mary, is she requires grind if you want to do any substantial damage to her, at least physically, where as all the bosses leading up to her were pretty well scaled to how you progressed naturally. It's like the Majima/Saejima fight from Like a Dragon. The funny thing is, the moment you hit a certain level (Can't remember the level, but it's around 24), there's a massive difference in your physical damage output, going from between doing 2-3 points of damage to her, to 30-35 points of damage. Definitely a must play for any JRPG fan though.

[@jonasking9587]

Any boss you can't beat the first time with just reflexes is a failure.

[@ChickyNuggz43]

I forgot about those stupid convicts until now. I’m reliving my frustration.

[@casseroledank]

Spider guardian? Really? No, the worst one's Boost Guardian by a country mile.
