Right!? I mean, Orphan of Kos, for example, was a pretty challenging boss, it took me a lot of tries, but hell... Laurence was DISGUSTING. In my humble opinion I think he is the toughest boss in the game, for all the wrong reasons of course. To be fair, I bought the dlc a bit late, being my character a new game ++ hunter. The creatures were very scaled and so was Laurence. But still, I think he is not very well desingned, I really felt desparate dealing with it. Lots and lots of tries, I even had to summon a dude to help me out. Thank god he is dead now.

[@miken5448]

The thing with Sephiroph in KH1, once you get 2 of that ability that gives you mana when you take dmg, you can just spam strike raid and auto-win. (was a huge disappoint for me to find out this cheap way to negate the hardest boss). You spam strike raid (during which you're invincible) till you're out of mana, let him hit you once or twice, heal, and start spamming again

[@jnlewis114]

I beat Gascoigne and, for me, that was beating the game. I retired from FromSoft. The Orphan fight was, however, an absolute blast to *watch*.

[@Rmwjr87]

My toughest Boss was MGSV episode 50. I died like 100 times. It took me 4ever to complete that mission.

[@alanw9620]

Rob I'm sure you can appreciate this but for me one that comes to mind for me is Gurlugon from one of the Snake Tales in Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance, Substance is actually one of my favourite games of all time and I loved the snake tale with Gurlugon even though I found the tales quite hard as I was so used to playing with the radar in easy difficulties but I loved this particular Snake Tale. It was genius. It took me many many attempts both when I was a kid and again as an adult playing the HD collection before I finally bested him :)

I feel like Lingering Will should have been here instead, but Rob more then likely hasnt even attempted it.

I'm really surprised, that with the final mix version out for so long, that Sephiroth is still the one, showing up in these lists... like what the heck? Okay, you can cheese the guy, but even that trick is not easy to pull off. (still recommend fighting him fairly) And then there are Eraqus Armor, No heart and mysterious Figur from birth by sleep... -_-

Have discorvered movements and patterns I never noticed before.) and preparing your self mentally for these battles... also level 99, anything belowe is just a waste of time.

I highly recommend you the guides from Tru-Man Tech Gaming, he goes into every single detail, every single attack and how to best react to them. very very helpfull. For your controll, lay out a lot of soft stuff, like pillows or something around you, also something that does not bounce too much ^^;

Oh Rob, even in the throes of despair and controller breaking frustration you're always so poetic, lyrical and strangely calming to listen to. Ever thought of releasing some relaxation CDs, maybe record them at 3 in the morning after a marathon Sekiro session? It's like whale song only better ;)

The fight against Sephiroth in kingdom hearts, though one of the hardest boss fights I have experienced to date, has got to be one of the greatest of all time. I can't wait to fight him in the Final Fantasy VII remake.

[@Ventus_Fair]

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: The Unknown with Terra There was a Bug(?) that when you had not slotet the normal slide than he would do that damn killer move almost everytime and took foreever to figure that out

I didn't find phantom that hard. I just went into devil trigger while being on top of him and began slashing. But it was the collection I played, and they may have made it easier.

Rob playing Alien:Isolation is like some people I've seen playing RE7 in PSVR. Sometimes the long periods of intensity just wear you down, and you either play only in flat screen version from thereafter, or just not at all for a while!

[@TardisCoreST]

I'm so totally agree with the Valkyrie in the God of War one. They are just simply savage. But somehow, I had more trouble with Gondul (the one at the top of the Muspelheim world) than with Sigrun. Maybe because her attack patters were easier for me to read, I don't know. I still died, but not as often and ENDLESSLY as I did with Gondul. Also, that Doctor Who Heaven Sent reference made my day.

Keep him close and stay behind and to his right side a bit in his second phase. He is quite easy once you figure out the spot, because he can't hit you and the lava can't touch you either.
