Hardest boss ever?
Who was the one you could hardly defeat?

Mine was a creature in Darksiders II, in the middle of a forest, it took tons of tries to finally kill it 😅

First boss of Banjo-Tooie. This guy drinks a potion and goes invisible. Completely impossible. Your only hope is to reset the game and hope he just expands in size so he's easier to hit.

Isshin, The Sword Saint from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Original Absolute Virtue - FFXI

Basically a boss meant to not be killable, but three full endgame linkshell ( guilds ) banded together and beat it. I believe it took nearly an entire day to kill of nonstop fighting.

Proto-Babil in Final Fantasy IV took me the longest.

Honorable mention to Omega, Shinryu, Omega Mk.II and Neo Shinryu in Final Fantasy V.

Ruby Weapon and Emerald Weapon didn't give me half as much grief.

Probably the one from Drakengard 3.


I haven't played it because I can't be bothered with Yoko Taro's tedium, but I'd like to try to fight that boss because it's got nothing to do with core mechanics of the game.

Jump kick always works and wait till he taunts then go in for a jump kick.

Took me almost two days to beat Ornstein and Smough for the first time. Dreadful.
Luckily, ds1 becomes piss easy after the halfway point so the rest of the game wasn't nearly as difficult.
I hesitate between guilty gear XX Ino and street fighter 3 third strike Gill.

The only times I've beaten these felt like luck rather then something I can even hope to do ever again.

Ino has super attack that target the whole screen and Gill can just resurrect himself ... if you hit gill while he's doing the super move you can stop his healing but most of the time you're not gonna get to hit him before he got most if not all of his HP back.

Yeah, fighting game bosses can be beyond unfair, sometimes even barely beatable with exploits. If you played Guilty Gear Strive, you know exactly what I mean.


Fun fact about Gill, when he laughs/taunts, the difficulty lowers a bit. Still gotta deal with his insane bs, resurrection and unblockable super, but at least he throws a bone sometimes.

Has to be the Knight Artorias the first time i played darksouls Admitted i didn't know what i was really doing first time around so made quite a hash of it. Anyway it took 24 attempts (shameful i know) until i figured out my armor was to heavy and my blade to slow in moving about and catching him before he could power up. In the end i was butt naked with a dagger and smashed him in record time.
Its also one of my most memorable moments in gaming as ive never taken that long to beat anything in a game.

I don't want to burst your bubble but you probably won not just do to luck, but because of the game literally taking pity on you.
The way Gill works in sf3, every few matches you lose his AI level will go down (think like how smash cpu levels work). If he laughs at the beginning of a match, that indicates that his difficulty was lowered a bit.

Now, I'm not sure if there's a certain cut-off point, but I assume there is so you can't just reduce him to the difficulty of a stage 1 fight. Buuuuut you may have beat Gil, but you didn't actually beat him at the same difficulty you went into the fight with.

I don't say this to be a ♥♥♥♥ I just think this is a fun fact, I don't know many arcade fighting games that have a sort of progressive (deprogressive?) difficulty balancing like this.
