Ballos from Cave Story. Mostly because the runback to that boss is literally called hell lol
Ruby and Emerald. That’s when I knew that I would never 100% a game in my life. Even with the game guide, those fights can fuck right off.
Smough and Ornstein…took me three days to beat them. Never. Again.
I gave up on the final boss of Minish Cap. I was playing the game on the Wii U.
it took me a stupidly long time to beat shadow trap in borderlands pre sequel as athena. probably hardest boss fight ive ever beaten
Longest: Sister Friede Never: Absolute Radiance (mainly because I ain’t playing all the way through the Pantheon to face him again)
I barely remember it, but I remember that the hardest mode of Shinobi was ridiculous. Basically just had to memorize and execute a perfect movement / attack pattern.
And if memory serves, it was like 2 levels before the final one that was actually the hardest on the hardest difficulty? Getting flooded with some kind of tricky enemy while way in the air?
But then you unlocked God mode and got to just slaughter everything with your OP abilities and sword… actually I think there were at least two levels of those upgrades. One had a life draining effect and the next was just absurd
Oh yeah! And some of the songs on Amplitude
Could never beat that hardest difficulty of Shinobi. Maybe halfway through the last level before the final boss, but just couldn’t get through the vertical section full of flying enemies after the paper hallways full of ogres. My sour grapes is there’s no way I’d beat the boss after getting through that level. But I still want to play that bonus level that unlocks if you get all the secret tokens
Any fight while playing this war of mine on the Steamdeck.
Crowmerax in Borderlands while solo. Possible but, depending on your class, very tedious.
The fucking Dark Souls 3 Ballerina. It took me hours and hours and it fucking sucked. Love her though, such fun attack patterns.
That final boss in Anachronox straight up sucks. I don’t remember if I cheated or gave up and watched the ending on YouTube
The Jaquio.
I appreciated that after several Street Fighter games in which Sagat was significantly more difficult than actual final boss M. Bison, they finally made M. Bison truly challenging in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
Ruby Weapon in the Final Fantasy VII PS1 game.
I even followed the guide, so I just couldn’t figure it out.
There’s boss fights occasionally in Dave the Diver and they just. I hate all of them lol. There was one at night I kept having to reload and just hope the weapon it gave me was the one that I was decent enough at that I finally got it.
