What Happens When You Defeat Invincible Video Game Bosses?

[@ThatGamerDude9000]

Yoshi was my favorite character. He had me at "No message[English]."

[@viniless5201]

I've always wondered in Paper Mario 2, how the Iron Clefts don't get much higher in the arena rankings, since absolutely no enemy in the game should be able to deal damage to them, not even the bosses.

[@kristophesiem5336]

Mario could easily defeat them if he were allowed to use the Hammer. They Just cant be jumped on

[@Hadaron]

@@kristophesiem5336 …What? Not Iron Clefts. Iron Clefts are *immune* to anything besides gulp. POW blocks, Hammer, nothing works. You’re confusing them with regular clefts. …Anyway, the reason they aren’t higher up is because the team above them, Spiky Joe, has spike tops with 5 defense, and they only have 4 attack.

[@thrasher698]

​@@Hadarontheir attacks pierce defence though, so they should have at least made it up slightly higher

[@el_tristo]

I always imagined all the major leaguers just being able to pull off the same tactic. Just slamming them into each other

[@KopperNeoman]

@pokedude07 Or they have BS powers that don't work on Mario. Like the Iron Clefts being immune to all defence-piercing attacks except Gulp.

[@Aethelia]

Vile can be defeated with a cheat code or hack. What normally happens is that Vile starts with 127 HP, and if you manage to reduce it to 0... it resets to 48 endlessly. Disable this, and with no defeat animation, Vile disappears immediately on hitting 0 HP, and X is stuck on that screen because that Vile is considered an enemy, not a boss (to prevent the Boss HP bar from activating). There is no way to end the level/restore scrolling, because Vile does not advance the scene, X does by getting stunned which is why it happens that way both times.

[@Superluigi881]

It's interesting how the psp remake handled this fight very differently. Vile is a normal boss that you have to beat or he just kills you. You lose in the cutscene after reducing his health bar to 0. And the second forced loss doesn't even happen at all. He just ambushes you.

There's a Steam achievement for doing the Divinity Original Sin 2 one where you scare off Dallis in the Fort. It's trivially easy if you use Barrelmancy (stack chests/barrels/etc inside each other over and over, then use Telekinesis skill to move the super heavy stack on top of her)

[@HardCodedGaming]

I choose to believe Seath has a personal orchestra with instructions to play when someone enters the room, but they just keep going out of confusion if he dies

[@RobotGuy405]

Actually Fargus isn't really anywhere close to impossible. As we saw, Marcus is able to damage him while facing an around 50% hitrate with a sword. It's theoretically possible for the RNG to roll in the players favor enough for Marcus to kill him. The devs obviously recognized this and attached a game over condition to the map if Fargus happened to die so as to avoid a pretty obvious softlock.

[@skaparinn]

Not to mention there's an arena on the map and by that point the player should have gotten a hero crest and a knight crest. So it's possible to grind a very dodgy unit like Guy or a very bulky one like Oswin to a really high level and have them beat Fargus pretty reliably. Would take a lot of time though

[@jacobmorris6357]

I'd imagine Fargus's hit rate against guy would be somewhere about 5%. Swordmasters are usually overpowered.

[@qactustick]

It doesn't necessarily have to be a softlock even if you defeat him. Although I suppose plot armor isn't something that's common in Fire Emblem, especially the older games.

[@TheodoricEichen]

@@qactustick What are you talking about? Killing him is an instant game over. I've done it. Just attacking him once already makes that mission impossible to complete, afaik, since the goal is to get to him and talk to him without turning him into an enemy.

[@qactustick]

@@TheodoricEichen I was talking more hypothetically, in that the developers could have set it up so that he 'retreats' or something should you happen to defeat him, rather than having him die. It's only a game over because they set it up to be one, but they didn't HAVE to have him die if you defeat him. That's what I was saying.

[@PokemonRebornFan]

[@LuigiStrikeForceChaz]

Yoshi: No Messages.[English] That is so good actually. 😂

[@Devlinator61116]

In the PS1 title, Legend of Legaia, your first battle is a tutorial against your personal trainer. I once GameSharked in all weapons and Items, and did so much damage that he died. However, the battle did not end nor did the game freeze. It was hardlocked - waiting for a turn from your trainer that would never come.

[@clovervidproductions]

Vile: HELP! THIS BLUE ROBOT IS F*KING KILLING ME! SIGMA! HELP!!!

[@PriestOfTheHelix]

So it is in fact possible to beat the tutorial Feral Chaos fight legitimately, just extremly tedious and frustrating. Chaos is set to the hardest ai difficulty, is set to level 130 (unobtainable by the player), and the player is stuck as a level 1 Lighting. At level 1, Lightning has 95 base bravery, which is what determines how much damage your HP attacks do. Chaos has close to 120,000 health, meaning you'd need to land close to 1263 hits with your HP attacks ( or do a few bravery combos to boost your damage output.) There are several problems with this. One, Chaos has enough starting Bravery to one shot you with any hp attack. Two, this version does not have his summon that you normally can trick into freezing your bravery at a high number. Three, all of level 1 Lightning's base HP attacks have a long startup and a long end-lag, meaning if you whiff you will die instantly. And lastly, 4, you can only access this version of the fight once when you start a new save file, meaning if you want to try again you would have to play through the tutorial again. There are clips online of people attempting the challenge and as far as I know, the closest anyone has ever gotten to beating him legitimately got him down to just below half before getting unlucky and dieing. Shit is brutal, if only because it's entirely possible.

[@NFITC1]

There was a video several years old of someone defeating this tutorial F.Chaos. It was done via save states, though. The video would have been impressive if legit, but it was not. Still that's when we learned nothing special would happen.

[@Infindox]

​@@NFITC1personally its still impressive if you take time out to actually do that

[@JohnpaulVosu-th2cq]

(Spoilers ahead, you've been warned) The reason Vile in Megaman X is unbeatable is because in order to kill him, you first got to get him out of that mech suit,(or armored carrier as he calls it) which then gives him a life meter, and unfortunately Zero is the only one strong enough to do that but not until after you beat all eight bosses and get to Sigma's fortress. Just so you know, it's impossible to beat this game without power upgrades for X as the game gives you the blaster upgrade no matter what, and only through passwords can you beat the Chill Penguin and not get the leg upgrade BTW. However getting through the area after Viles second fight (and inevitable death) to reach the Boomer Kuwanger respawn fight without the boots to dash jump is NOT an easy task to do, but is doable with the Sting Chameleon's weapon and the blaster upgrade.

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

When you think about it, the whole Vile thing loses a lot of weight because the reason behind X being able to lay out Vile in Sigma 1 isn't because X got stronger, it's because he got bailed out by Zero again and Vile got weaker.

[@mightypancake2211]

well Zero helped by getting rid of the ride armor that Vile was using. Which in the SNES version is invincible wither cause there is no HP attached or regen, or whatever the case. In the maverick hunter version of Megaman X. X can legitimately beat Vile in both, just that "X loses" Cause it is scripted to happen.

[@mresturk9336]

From a coding standpoint it seems damage only effects how far Vile is knocked back rather than costing him health. If you use Game Genie to mega buff your buster's damage you can knock Vile around like a rag doll, but he'll never actually die.

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

@@mresturk9336 Incidentally there's a screwy password that you can use to launch into the intro stage with all the boss weapons, which enables for seeing Vile get bumped around by them.

[@nomearodcalavera8994]

@@mightypancake2211 yeah even the hadouken can't do anything to vile's ride armor other than knock it back.

[@Benny.Nelson.7]

12:59 is my favorite part, you see, if you get a one-shot code into the game (with game genie) and make the fight end after hitting him a few times, the game permanently softlocks and zero doesn't even get on screen.

[@Kailith-Noxia]

It technically is possible to make someone strong enough, you have the ability to gain a lot of experience on one of your Cavaliers in the paralogue chapters, and there's an arena in the same map, of course they had to anticipate players grinding selves up to endgame power levels. It's a natural rule of Fire Emblem and why some of the boss difficulty in later games came from the skills they have. Source: Fire Emblem Nerd. And as somebody who watched Excelblem make a level 36 dancer in the fates prolouge. Don't underestimate the grit of a fire emblem nerd.

[@Megamean09]

I did similar levels of grinding in Radiant Dawn. To get Meg usable, I had to top her off with swords, get the enemy count down to one laguz, and then stuck the two of them together with the enemy next to a heal jar so he wouldn't die. Not only did I get Meg from unsalvageably low-level to promoted in her first chapter, that process also get Laura (as her healer) all the way to tier three.

[@Kailith-Noxia]

@@Megamean09 precisely, a lot of the time, the reason why you move on is because you just ran out of time or they just got a little bit too strong to keep grinding, if they don't plan for it, it'll happen.

[@jruler93]

I remember seeing a video where someone tried to cheat Vile in Mega Man X by using an instant kill code, but even that didn't work, instead just pushing Vile back off screen.

[@HardCodedGaming]

There was a Yu Yu Hakusho game where you fight the main villain (younger Toguro) twice when you are "intended" to lose. Once as the protagonist Yusuke, once as Genkai, his mentor. He is actually beatable both times. Doing so as Yusuke, you actually get a reward, and the story still makes sense because Toguro isn't at full strength and was just threatening him. An early instance of "this is just x% of my power". Genkai cracks me up though. She is supposed to die in that fight. Winning as her, you get nothing but some bullshit message about "the path of victory is a lonely one" and she just fucks off from the rest of the story.

Pretty sure it's totally possible to beat Fargus normally if you use arena abuse, I have done it before, that's why they have that special game over even though most players won't see it. I did wonder about Feral Chaos for a long time, I feel like he should technically be beatable without cheats albeit unimaginably difficult, so a little disappointed there isn't special text for that.

[@chanwantai6125]

7:33 fun fact: you actually CAN kill Dallis here in early patch, don’t even need cheat code, just some out of mind thinking. The easiest way is to bring the death poison barrel from prologue to here (with a little out of bounce bug), and she will die and drop items, probably a good weapon maybe, sorry that’s really long time ago I can’t remember too detailed. But later they decided to patch it out and after that patch you no longer can kill Dallis early, she will turn into dragon and fly out no matter how much damage you done to her.

Played Tales of Destiny on PS1 when I was a kid, and used some sort of infinite health or damage cheat. There's a fight relatively early on that you're supposed to lose - I don't know if it's legitimately possible/realistic to beat it or not, but if you do beat it (as I did with my cheat) you basically get a short story about the events that unfold over, and the game ends. It was pretty cool, though I hope no-one who beat it (legitimately or otherwise) got fooled into thinking that was how the game was supposed to go. I believe it was fairly obvious - I mean I immediately knew I was supposed to lose after seeing it - but I can't speak for everyone else that would've seen it. 😛

No, the Black Knight (and Ashnard) have a hidden skill that makes them immune to everything but Ragnell, and Tibarn, Naesala, Giffca, Nasir and Ena.
