What's the hardest video game boss you've faced?
 
I would have to say the hardest person I've faced is a 3-way tie between Cyber Errol on Jak 3, Dr. Nefarious on Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, and Albel Nox on Star Ocean... O.O

Cubia in .Hack//Mutation. But I got him after leveling up a bit. Also, without leveling up, Baal in Diablo II expansion was pretty tough.

Isn't this supposed to be in the Video games thread? x.x;

Some on the Ninja Gaiden ones on very hard come to mind. Alma is a pain if you don’t have much healing stock by the time you reach her.

Omega on FF8 was fairly challenging, but he had a rhythm you could master. Genra on DOA 3 was just…cheap, stupid even.

That’s all I can think of at the moment, but will think more~

Ozma in FFIX was genuinely challenging, due to the lack of doomsday attacks that are available in every other post-FFVI game (Omnislash, Lionheart, Oblivion, Delta Attack, etc).

Square should take note and not include them in FFXIII either.

Kairi January 18th, 2005 2:25 PM

It was just…quick. Either way, he’ll kill you, or you’ll kill him, really quick. There was still some cheapness (Like Steiner with shock) and since his HP was so low, you didn’t have to survive for that long, anyways. But lack of quick leveling and multi-hitters did make it different, at least.

I would have to agree, the hardest boss I had to fight was Alma from Ninja Gaiden. The first time I fought Alma, I thought "Ok let me get this over with.", how wrong I was... XD, good thing she wasn't nearly as hard the secound time around.

Do not say there is a boss harder than the one i will say now

The boss i faced waz on army men:green rogue it will be da hardest boss i have faced and it's only on level 2! i can't beat the dang level! after that there is 5 more bosses and guess what no codes!

anyway da boss is a submarine equipet with 2 machine guns and every 10 secounds 2 tan men come out with bazooks and blow ya up!

Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts was ridiculously difficult. I got past his attack that brings your HP and MP down to 1, but when he's at 2/3 of his health, he starts using attacks that are almost impossible to dodge. Plus, he doesn't forget about his other attacks and makes sure to play keep-away from you while you're getting hit. Then he doesn't give you anything (except for XP, which you don't need anymore at this point) for killing him!

Redrum from Xenogears was difficult if you didn't have three hours to sit and wait for non-combos to kill him. This is due to his killing off whoever hits him with a Death Blow. And there was NO WAY TO DEFEND AGAINST IT! Pretty much, if you're going to fight him, make sure you have the entire day to do so. (Murder is Redrum and Redrum is Murder... Heh heh...)

I'll post more soon.

ASG January 18th, 2005 3:31 PM

Gaaaa.... you people have reminded me! kid buu from budikia 3 took me 2 days to actully get his health to the orange but da thrid day i beat him

[Technya] January 18th, 2005 3:48 PM

The idiot vampire director at the mansion from the game Hunter: The Reckoning...still trying to get him...

BigBoss January 18th, 2005 4:01 PM

Ermmmm........ Well Sigma in nearly all the Megaman X games is probibly the hardest.

John Denver January 18th, 2005 4:35 PM

Does anyone remember Legend of Maxx? MAN that boss had me goin for a while...I even tried playing with my feet, but still I couldn't beat him. The hardest boss I've ever faced :(

from DDR of course ;)

rins January 18th, 2005 4:37 PM

Sephiroth fro Kingdom Hearts we very difficult. He has almost no boss rhythm or pattern, because he switches his pattern up all the time. Its difficult to fight him cause you kind of have to keep up with non-stop healing and all. i still havent beaten him, but ive come so darn close.

Anyway can I talk about a video game in general that was hard? Rocket Knight Adventures for Sega Genesis.... it was this weird quirky platformer (about an oppossum knight in shining armor wish a rocket strapped to his back) that was so cool but no one played it i think >.> i recommend if you have a Genesis. But anyway it was one of those types of games that you wonder how you ever played as a kid (cause now that my reflexes are dumbed down from too much rpgs, i cant play this game past like... the fourth level or so >.>)

Hardest video game boss.
 
It's hard to pick a hardest boss battle because iv'e been in some killer battles.But I always end up pulling through.

1313666 January 18th, 2005 4:57 PM

Albel Nox: defeated. It took me a while to figure out to use Blade Of Fury over and over. I sorta accidentaly beat him because my little brother smashed my finger on the circle button at the last second.

Dr. Narfarious: defeated. He was a little hard, but I killed him with my trusty Decimator in the end. Now I am stuck on the Biobliterator!

Cyber Errol: defeated. I don't know how, though... I am now stuck on the Dark Maker Dragon!

Vkazuic January 18th, 2005 5:32 PM

That weird coloured world looking thingy, from Final Fantasy IX.. It's called Ozma I think.. Anyways... He is sooooo hard to beat... You gotta be like level 90 or over to beat him..

I disagree with Sephiroth. I usually “use” him to gain my last 40 or so levels, since he always gives you enough to level off of. Fastest way to level.

All of his “unavoidable” attack can be dodged by using a move like Strike Raid for the duration of them. Not necessary, but it helps if you’re having trouble.

And Albel really wasn’t that difficult, IMO. XP

Sigma in X3 and 4 is HARD. I finally did it in 4 with Zero after many years~

5 and 6 though, total jokes.

Gaia January 18th, 2005 5:58 PM

the hardest for me was probably Cloud and Hades kingdom hearts:COM.**** it!

Actually, he doesnt change his pattern. He was hard at first. But the I learned his pattern and used it against him. After the first couple of fights, I knew his every move, and when he was going to do them.

I had a lot of trouble with sephiroth in KH too ._.; It took me about 20 tries, but I finally did it.. it was just that one attack that took ALL your HP and MP if you didn't have Second Chance equipped. you only have so many elixirs you can use. O_O;

he probably wasn't my hardest though, except I can't really remember anything else that was. there were some others in kingdom hearts that I made me want to throw my controller into my TV T_T;; like ursula and oogie boogie... but nothing was ever really a big deal if you just learned their tactics, and maybe leveled up before trying to beat them again.

I can't remember anything else... o_O; I remember a lot of frustration at video games in general, I just can't remember where it came from...

Thomas January 18th, 2005 7:48 PM

I dont play alot of games with "Bosses" but I had trouble beating Inferno on Soul Calibur 2 in Extra Arcade Mode.

Mr Cat Dog January 19th, 2005 12:06 AM

Dark Samus - Metroid Prime 2.

OK, so I'm a crap video gamer, what more do you want XD Plus I haven't played Final Fanftasy in my life, so :P

In Mortal Kombat Deception I had a lot of trouble fighting Scorpion during the final battle of Konquest mode. Mostly because I forgot how to do most of Shujinko's combos (most of konquest mode you play as other peeps), so it took a while before realizing the up+triangle and down + triangle attacks were a godsend. Then again he had this nasty habit of landing breakers, and blocking my attacks, so I spent almost an hour trying to defeat him. =(

Luca Blight was a pain in the booty to take down in Suikoden II. Fortunately you had three teams of six people to use against him (he's a lot harder than the final boss; which was abnormally easy to defeat.)
