The Lindwurm in Battle Brothers.
As a kid I beat the vampires in Illusion of Gaia as Will. Didn’t realize you could change.
Wow, I gave up trying to beat it a few months ago because it was too hard to get past them. I was playing as Will
First time fighting Lothric/Lorian in Dark Souls 3. I was playing a mage which was not it for the fight. Also the runback was about a minute which really ramped up my hatred for the fight. On ng+ after a respec to greatsword wielder, that fight is painfully easy. Greatsword effortlessly hits Lothric’s hitbox while he’s on Lorian’s back which trivializes it, but I didn’t know that on first playthrough.
There’s a lift right at the side of the main entrance into the bossfight arena that cut down the runback time. You can just rest at the dragonslayer armour and then take the lift up right to the entrance, skipping the annoying stairs of enemies.
Yeah, I know. The runback is still nearly a minute.
For me it was Psycho mantis from Metal Gear Solid. The reason being that I didn’t understood English at the time, so it was literally an impossible boss. I got frustrated with it and abandoned the game, until I found a translated version of it and replayed it and he’s actually very easy if you know what you need to do.
Probably Malenia, but she’s beatable. Definitely had a tougher time learning her than Freide, Gael, Artorias, Manus, Fume Knight, or Ivory King etc.
The guy at the end of Hotline Miami was pretty tough.
Probably Monster Hunter World’s Fatalis. That’s the only fight I’ve ever had to genuinely grind for multiple days to beat. It was 100% worth it though, the feeling of bringing him down for the first time was unmatched.
Fume Knight from Dark Souls 2
Lies of P - nameless puppet. I choose the other ending on my first run, so my first time facing him was in ng+. Not sure if that made it harder, but yeah, that one was rough
The snake boss in Nioh 2. My friend kept coming back that day to say, “You haven’t killed it yet?!”
Hmm. Not sure. Some bosses that immediately came to mind were O&S in Dark Souls 1 and Hume in Eternal Daughter though. I think I had more trouble with the latter, but it’s been so long that I’m not sure.
Dry’l in Wonderlands. Not particularly hard but it just took forever.
Eggman on this sonic game I had on my Nintendo ds. Shit was fucked. I never won and am forever a loser because of it. One day imma emulate it and reclaim my honour.
Still haven’t beaten Owl in Sekiro. Only Fromsoft game in the genre I haven’t finished because I can’t kill my fuckin’ dad. 😭
Sekiro had several of the hardest bosses for me. God I love that game.
Demon of Hatred also took me absolutely ages. Days. But it’s optional so really I only have myself to blame.
For me the answer is probably Malenia from Elden Ring. Took so long learning all of her moves and still only made it through by summoning the mimic for phase 2
Ahhh keep going, really experiment with creating different openings for attacks. Such a great fight. And then (maybe spoilers, not sure? You probably already know that fromsoft games often have different endings / paths) figure out how to have an even harder version of that fight
Growing up I struggled for so long on LittleBigPlanet’s Negativitron boss fight, most recently though I spent days struggling with Uncharted 4’s final boss fight (though somehow I had an easier time on Crushing difficulty on my second play through) and Halo 2’s Prophet Boss Fight.
