Fuck this fight. Both the original and the arranged port.
The bigger insult is that you can actually win an item that reveals the real one, but he immediately just makes more fakes on the spot, thus making you waste a turn for no good reason.

The best part about FF3 and Hein is that I just spammed every element and physical attacks, and still won because I outdamaged him.

>It's a can create real clones of itself boss
This was the best boss of double dragon advance. You fight a buncha guys (I want to say 6 or so?) easy bosses each with their own gimmick, and then you fight one guy who has all of those previous guys combined into one. One of those guys gimmicks was shadow clones of himself, who all also have all the abilities of those other 5 guys.
>>333350105
That's not a bad thing unless the game revolves entirely on upgrading weapons.

I always see people complain about this but I've never once encountered an unwinnable boss where the game doesn't make it abundant obvious you're supposed to lose.
Maybe you're just retarded.

>>333351643

>it's a "Psych, I'm not really the final boss!' boss
>>333347557
>Boss: Mirage of Bones
>Mirage of Bones does not attack directly, but instead uses Blink Arrow to teleport away and Mirror Arrow to summon copies of itself. Blink Arrow leaves a copy of the boss where the boss fired the arrow from. Each Mirror Arrow may summon 1-5 copies. Each copy slowly fires powerful, black bolts dealing physical damage in a single direction. Copies last for around 10 seconds and have the same amount of life as the boss. Mirage of Bones has a very slow movement speed, but makes up for it with the usage of Blink Arrow. Determining which of the copies is actually the boss is a matter of watching for brightly glowing runes on the ground from Blink Arrow and Mirror Arrow. Mirage of Bones will not move and its animation will be smooth if it uses Mirror Arrow. Mirage of bones will move and its animation will restart with the copy that replaces it if Blink Arrow is used. Glowing arrows and runes are signs of both abilities. Area of Effect abilities will allow the player to continue attacking Mirage of Bones even if the boss is otherwise blocked by its copies. Slowing the boss with cold damage or Temporal Chains will reduce the amount of copies that it can create. Because of the high amount of individual damage from each copy, burst damage resulting from multiple copies hitting the player at once may result in death. Taking cover around the tents and barricades may reduce the amount of copies that fire upon the player.

God! Why do they have to ruin games with this archaic "boss" stuff. Guess I can't beat another game because of an overly difficult boss battle for no reason! I just, can't, jeez, gosh, whaaa.
>it's a heal spam boss that also hits like a freight train unless you're incredibly overleveled.

This can work if it's done well. Brave Fencer Musashi does this like twice, and he final boss is basically your rival combined with the ancient evil that recently awoke.
