What are the most pants-shittingly hard bosses you've ever faced in video games?
>>332727747
O&S first time around.
>>332727747
So, poise in dark souls 3, what's the fucking deal?
>>332727747
So very much not that one. Giant Ornstein by far.
>le souls is hard maymay
Couldn't the B team have tried just a smidge harder with this "fight"? It's fucking embarrassing when normal mobs are much more dangerous than this entire encounter.
>>332727872
Same as DaS2, as it should be. Poise in DaS1 is way too fucking overpowered.
>>332728189
>B team
Nigga read the fucking credits of both DaS and DaS2, Miyazaki isn't director in the second one but like 80% of the team is the same.
>>332728226
Yeah, I understand in DaS1 it was overpowered, and even though I would have liked it to be a little bit better in DaS2, it seems DaS3's poise is even weaker than DaS2's, people wearing heavy armor getting staggered by a single hit from a dagger or a throwing knife is ridiculous.
>>332727747
Pic not related right? Did it first try and didn't even think it was a boss
Mythic Prophet of Regret
Fuck that guy
>>332728615
This bitch is the craziest difficulty spike of a final boss I have ever seen
As for my contribution I'm gonna go with Shin Shorts
>>332727747
Not these fuckers, that's for sure. I went in there with my Greatsword and took out the Magus in a hit or two, the rest was easy pickings
Prowling Magus is the easiest shit but I still really like it.
>>332727747
Not that one, killed them first time, just use the benches for when you need a heal
Prowling Magus and Congregation or Pinwheel, which boss is the easiest one in your opinion?
Pinwheel here, simply because Prowling takes longer to clean up.
>>332731148
I've never taken more than one try to kill either. I'll say Pinwheel though just because the Arena doesn't have any safe healing places, although the heal is quicker so it might be a wash.
I actually like the skeleton lords fight
>>332731148
I died to prowling magus because I was stupid enough to get hit by its magic thinking the fight would be hard.
Pinwheel went down in one combo.
These guys weren't hard at all?
>>332727747
spent fucking weeks on this asshole
>>332727747
>enter Prowling Magus room for the 40th time
>gut reflexively clenches

>get hit by two lightning spears, almost dead
>letting out steady farts at this point
>roll wildly for cover, losing my sense of control
>crawler slaps my ankle and kills me while I try to take a sippy.
>let out the MOTHER of all grumpy dumpies in my pants and on my couch
>quit game, make tendies, cry myself to sleep
FUCKING Prowling Magus.
gehrman because I couldn't bother grinding and I was only level 38 or something. learning the timing on his spinning attack was a bitch
eventually just cheesed it with parries (like 90% of bosses)
the ps4 went back to gamestop the next day
ITT casuals.
>>332727747
pic not related
>cast dark fog (or your preferred pyro equivalent) 2/3 times
>win
for me it's this fucker. not because he's the hardest, but because the only approach is either to git gud or go home. i don't think i've ever retried a boss more times than with him, unless you count mike tyson in punch-out
>>332727747
in crash: the wrath of cortex (fuck you i liked it) the water boss was fucking impossible
4kings in NG+ probably
Either LiV or N-WGIX online. Fuck fighting either one of those fuckers without going full-Autocannon cuck

Orphan of Kos
Omega Pirate in Metroid Prime. I was so happy when I finally beat him.
>>332731843
nigga are you kidding?
the three boss gauntlet at the end was the hardest part
>>332731930
Ma niga
![latest[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/G0FfrTo.jpg "latest[1].jpg")
Everything you could conceivably do wrong on his fight, I did wrong.
Manual aiming and slicing was either explained poorly or I quickly forgot about it because it literally never came up until this fight. So I kept fucking my shit up on his shield.
Then after learning I could just run around behind him and shiv him to death, I was wholly unprepared for Armstrong's rock throwing at the end.
So not really hard, just fights that made me realize that I'm unforgivably retarded.
>>332731148
Pinwheel can legitimately fuck you up if you have low magic def and don't attack right away. Once he gets his clones out you have to start dodging constant projectiles from multiple directions. Prowling Magus sucks from long-range and has all the agility of the Grand Union Express, so you can just run to the opposite end of the room and be completely safe.
Anyone remember the grapple Guardian in metroid prime 2?
That thing.
Fuck. It was a lot of factors. The way the lock on tracked its face. How aggressive and fast he was when attacking.
I think being circled and not being safe in the ring of light helped. It was scary for me.
Can anyone relate?
>>332727747
PREDICTABLE!
>>332727747
>the Congregation
>hard
Literally get fucking better you loser.
I am so fucking bad at this game.
>>332732856
Maybe if you're a complete fucking retard casual? SL1 pinwheel isn't hard, even if you let him build up 3-4 clones
Fighting this bastard with zero health and no magic whatsoever was incredibly frustrating.
>>332731843
>the game wasn't even hard
>I had a shitty copy so it would freeze at random points and force me to replay bosses and annoying locations
>I probably beat the finally boss 20-25 times only to have the game freeze during the final cut-scene
It's a fun game, but it's not the hardest game out there. I'm sad I never got to play it after having unlocked things in my first play-through.
>tfw never get to play as evil ryu
>>332727747
>when you didn't learn to parry.
>>332733406
Which boss is that? I don't remember him from any Lords of Shadow game, which must mean he was from LoS2 since it had a lot of forgettable bosses.
>>332733535
shieet
>>332733545
He's from the first game, the final boss of the second DLC.
Which is to say that the second DLC is nothing but you fighting this goddamn thing across multiple, drawn-out phases, with a couple horrible "sneak around the lava" sections mixed in.
It's supposed to be a rebooted version of the Forgotten One from Lament of Innocence
>>332731148
Pinwheel killed me once so him by default.
I haven't played it, but allegedly the final boss to Drakengard 3 is mighty bullshit. I really want to try out for my self and see. I mean it's 4/4 tempo, how hard can it be? But that would involve buying and playing Drakengard 3.
>>332732302
The hardest part is trying to get the helicopter before you get hit because sometimes quickfiring the heatseaking missiles doesn't work.
>>332733994
The worst part is a note that happens when the screen turns black, and the tempo is slowing down. It makes it very hard to hit that note, and any missed notes results in complete failure.
It's not a super demanding rhythm , but the song is 7 goddamn minutes long. It's a pain in the ass to get hit by that last note and start the whole goddamn thing over again.
>>332733994
wouldn't be that bad in my opinion if you didnt have to wait between 25 and 35 seconds each time you fail for the cutscene to finish.
>>332728615
>Instant kill attack that you cannot resist
FUCK YOU
>>332732184
I loved how on very hard and master ninja its Alma and that whip chick instead of the yeti and whatever the fuck the other one was.
I'd say solo professional Wesker and Jill in RE5. It all comes down to luck, to be honest.
>>332727747
Double god hand Gene And Vergil 3 are the first that come to mind.
More specifically DMD version Vergil 3 is probably the hardest boss I can think of.
>>332732302
>Then after learning I could just run around behind him and shiv him to death
You can also basically spam offensive defensive in a circle and truly be the FUCKIN' INVINCIBLE one
>>332727747
>>332734797
Is this a boss or are you just being a memester? I don't play the games.
>>332734880
He is a boss in the sense that he is the only monster on that night. It's 1v1 between a kid and his nightmares. But no, he can't really be considered a boss because the rules are all the same, just slightly less forgiving.
>>332734669
>it all comes down to luck
That doesn't make it difficult. It just makes it retarded.
>>332727747
OP holy shit please don't even post a picture of the Congregation. Literally gave me PTSD and made me break 7 controllers.
>>332727747
>>332735138
DELETE THIS
>>332735138
I don't know how my 12 year old self beat that fucking boss. That was the hardest boss in the game because of how early he was and the location you had to fight him in.
>>332727747
I beat this room on my first try. I never even knew it was a meme boss fight that everyone thinks is really hard until after I beat the game.
>>332734963
What weapons can you make from his Soul once you defeat him?
This motherfucker the first time I fought him
>>332735305
Fuck this faggot and his missiles and his impossible to keep up with speed. How do I beat him?
>>332735251
You make a flashlight, and it gives +1 to light shining.
>>332735235
You do realize OP is most likely joking, right?
>>332735443
Closing with him doesnt get any better. He has dual MOONLIGHT laser blades, generally you want to STAY THE FUCK AWAY from seraph
>>332735463
>Joking
Are saying my wife leaving me due to "constantly losing my shit over one boss" is a joke m8?
>>332731508
This. You think it's bad enough with 1 pinwheel, then all of a sudden there's 2. and then 3 of them! Unbalanced as fuck
>>332731148
Pinwheel on average takes me like 20 seconds to kill. I've taken upwards of 3 minutes to kill Magus just because I focused on the congregation too much before fucking up the priests and Magus.
That being said, I agree with>>332730783
It's a weird little side boss that is kind of a fun departure from the usual bosses. Feels really incidental, like you just accidentally dropped into a weird sidestory removed from the larger quest you're on.
Also, I love those pope hats.
>>332735138
Spider guardian was more of a fucking hassle than that fuck.
Chester in Ys OiF
Kishgal in Ys Origin
But seriously, every single Ys boss except Pictimos is harder than the hardest DS bosses. Souls babbies can go home.
>>332727747
FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT RIGHT HERE
>Control F Fume Knight
>0 results
Shit thread.
>>332735612
>Pinwheel on average takes me like 20 seconds to kill.
shit nigga what are you doing
I hadn't thought about the implications of Magus & Congregation that way but that's neat.
>>332735642
2free4u?
>>332735575
The joke is thatyour wife never existed
>>332731762
I guess you skipped all optional areas then?
Not necessarily a boss, but the Everfall encounter with the Wights, Hellhounds and the Gorechimeras in Dragon's Dogma was the fucking WORST. FUCK THAT SHIT
Pic not related, I barely even remember fighting that thing. I steamrolled it first time, those benches ruined any potential difficulty. Other than endgame stuff I'd either say Ultimate Alma from Ninja Gaiden or a fighting game end boss, either Shao Khan from MK2 or any SNK boss you can think of.
>>332735643
>>332735643
I beat him on my first try with around 60 plain old soul arrows and well timed dodges. Get good
>trying to beat this thing on chaos with un upgraded cestus
>>332735816
More like didn't even play the game.
>>332735643
Nah he was an easy slow fuck
>>332727747
Ballos (and the Sacred Grounds in general) kicked my ass for a couple weeks. Good fun.
>>332730052
>>332728615
I still remember exactly how long it took me to grind.
An hour and 38 minutes of going back and forth on that staircase with only space marine and that gun killing fucking birds in one hit.
>>332735642
Never again.
Killing my first Deathclaw in Fallout 4.
Basically took me around 2 whole hours...
>>332735138
Try playing this game again, this boss is piss easy.
>>332728189
Pinwheel. Hell, 3 bosses in Dark Souls are normal mobs.
>>332734759
>Double god hand Gene
That shit was amazing, but holy hell did it just fuck my shit up hardcore. Vidya was never the same after that.
>>332728615
I liked that her attacks are actually called "fire", "ice", etc.
I just replayed the jetstream sam dlc from MGR and trying to perma taunt Armstrong becomes crazy to the point where you feel like you're just cheesing him. You're literally constantly dodging, chipping at him and then dodging or just dodging and then dodging again.
>>332727747
I've probably fought harder bosses, but recently, the secret final boss in demon's crest.
That thing is nuts.
>>332727747
This whole section was weird.
Like it didn't fit, and felt like it belonged in a different game.
>>332737885
It goes ok if you're well stocked on potions and shit.
this faggot
>>332735819
eh, once you fuck the chimeras up it's pretty easy. Try fighting 3 garms with a giant gorecyclope and a troll.
BBI gets crazy post daemon. Sometimes it's eally better to just run.
>>332737992
It's just that you take so much damage, even with talisman's and the better crest equipped, and it's so hard to get at any point you can damage without getting knocked back down.
Plus those invincible moments...
It's a long long loooong fight and so much can go wrong.
DeS was my first souls game
so obviously penetrator
fuckin'
this one fire boss in Ninja Gaiden 2 for the 360
i don't remember it's name but I remember yelling really loud (just a kind of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA sound) and then calmly putting the game back in the case for a month
>>332727747
SSJ2 Gohan vs. Perfect Cell in Budokai 3
Me and my 2 cousins spent so much time trying to fuck this faggot up but holy shit it took days
>>332738276
On that note, most of the endgame stuff in a lot of dbz games is extremely difficult due to poor design.
If you are a non-saiyan character in xenoverse the last quarter of the game is awful.
Kid buu in I think tenkaichi was ultra agressive and had hyper armor.
This fucker as a mechro in uvhm or OP8. Puts all your faggoty souls bosses to shame.
>>332738276
Super Buu inside Buu's stomach was the one that fucked me up.
The effect of how utterly terrifying this monkey motherfucker is usally dulled by the fact that at this point I've hunted almost 600 of them, but god diggity damn the first time I fought this thing I nearly shat myself in pure terror. Especially that first time you see it go super saiyan.
>>332736115
Took me like 3 years to get that achievement.
>>332741712
Most faggots don't even know the suffering that was two of those cunts in the fucking arena.
Artorias gave me hell on a low level sorceror whose piddly spells and spear barely scratched him down
But I persevered and earned the right to shove some dark beads up low level assholes in the parish
>>332735643
>dark souls 2 boss
>hard
>>332734759
This guys knows
Swap Double God Hand Gene out for Ultra V-Rated Jet Black from Viewtiful Joe 2 though
>>332744341
I never played Viewtiful Joe 2 on ultra V-rated but you mah niggah. I think I'll have to give it a go now.
>>332728420
That's because it's just hyper armour for strong attacks on very specific weapon types
>>332742808
I don't even think I beat those fucks in FU.
>Already despise Rajang
>Before a even kill the first one an Xbox huge one descends from the heavens
>Butt status: hurt
>>332731508
>>332735590
What? Was he supposed to be hard? Did I miss something?
>>332745293
Yeah he was pretty damn hard but only for people who went to meet uncle Nito first. Some folks just missed the stairs.
>>332741712
The moment it goes super sayian was wonderful. My first thought was "oh he can go even faster now, huh?" No fucking opening without taking damage. None.
>>332727747
I was pretty much just dodging around and blocking with a magic shield. Kill the big caster and then take care of the rest
>>332741712
>Only way to beat two angry monkeys at the same time is to be even more pissed off then they are
To this day I cannot get smoke bombs to work
I had to restart the game.
