That great big stupid world boss from FF7.. I forget it’s name.

That first boss in Gheist (GameCube ghost fos from Nintendo)

Mike Tyson’s a good one; I’ll nominate the end boss eyeball asshole from the orig. RE2 that kept mutating while I tried to wrestle with the tank controls
The secret boss dragon from the orig Mario RPG suuucked too

Isshin’s the hardest boss that is fair. Nothing bullshit about him. Just pure skill
loverboyv
Definitely the camera

Sigrún on Give Me God of War difficulty beat my ass like I owed her money

The stupid toad prince from The Witcher 3. Bastard was hard

I would say Goenitz, Orochi, and Igniz were much harder bosses than Omega Rugal.
VinylPool
Scissor Man in Clock Tower
Theolaxx
Every boss in I Wanna Be The Guy

Shao Khan on the gameboy MK3 was borderline impossible. but then again I had no concept of combos and attacks, i’d just jump and smash A and B

Shao Khan. Fuck that dude eyes ears nose and throat fuck him

Question: Do you know anyone who honestly beat Sans on their first try? Or how many tries did it take you to beat him.
He’s probably the boss I died to the most before I finally beat him. If you go by that, he’s my hardest.

Absolute Virtue on ffxi. Designed to be unbeatable by square soft and the folks on Odin server found a way to beat it. Think it took 3 real life days.

Ozma from FF9 is literally luck. He can straight up murder you before you get a turn.
Sans from Undertale is extremely difficult.
The Judges from FF12 IZA Trial Mode are incredibly hard.
Souls bosses are tough, but fair in most situations.
DMC3 DMD 3rd Vergil is super hard.

Seymour from FFX on the mountain.

You forgot Matt from Wii Sports

I’ve never played it, but there’s an arcade exclusive fighting game called Kaiser Knuckle, the last boss General is regarded as the cheapest and most broken boss in the history of the genre. Every bs move in the genre is something he will spam you with.

Anyone remember Juno from Megaman Legends?? I could never beat him for the life of me until I retried the game at 23 years old lol

Why is no one mentioning the Valkyrie from God of War?

Maybe not the hardest but shoutout to absolute radiance

Melania was a fucking rough time at launch for me ahha

You forgot 2 very important ones.

Shao Kahn is a joke, just him taunt you or laugh in front of the people and kick his a**

Lag, and it’s not even close

Dark Riku aka Riku-Ansem in KH1.
That goddamn cutscene before the fight about “Never taking Kairi’s heart” is seared into my brain indefinitely. Also, trying to beat Riku in the sparring match on Destiny Islands, while optional, is probably one of the most frustrating fights I’ve ever dealt with.

I never beat Fatalis from Monster Hunter World solo.
I did it with Altareon and that was really, really hard, but Fatalis was too much for me.

Drakengard 3, the **flower**, by far. Just reaching route that leads to it requires collecting every single weapon and doing every single task in the game.
And you are rewarded with the most bullshit boss fight of all time:
For those unaware – rest of the game is a slasher with some flight sequences. You mash the attack buttons, heal from time to time etc.
This thing however turns into a music game. But not just any music game – a sadistic one. Camera becomes completely useless 20% into it, you die instantly if you do even a single error and there are notes to press even on a friggin’ black screen when music goes out. The only way to do it reliably is to literally close your eyes and spend next 6 hours slowly learning the song and timings.
And there’s nothing in the whole game that prepares you for this insanity. The closest similar event is in a joke ending of a 2003 Drakengard 1 game.
Lore wise it makes sense for this to be nearly impossible. Since strictly speaking achieving this ending >!cancels entire Nier, Nier Automata and Drakengard 1/2 plot, it’s effectively the most important object in the entire history of Yoko Taro games!<. But boooy is it insane.
