Most Bullshit bosses you've faced in Videogames?
Since I've given up fighting Lingering Will in Kingdom Hearts 2 for the day after finishing the data organization yesterday, I thought I'd ask this.
That boss has one of about 4 or 5 things it can do, from what I've seen. It can rush around in a 3 hit combo, unless it decides to randomly add a fourth rush, which may or may not end with a whip. Which will always happening when you try to heal and are at 1 hp, so death. There's a pulsing hand thing he does after a few swings of his keyblade, which can activate behind them if your there for some reason and knocks five miles away, so you can't take advantage of the fact you can always hit him after that attack. There's the ball bomb thing which detonates whenever the fuck it wants, more than likely after you've blocked so you get hit anyway and his ball launcher cannon can hit you if you decide to dodge roll through it, which then is followed by the bomb, which is homing, hitting you. Finally, there's the ability lock thing he does, which is the worst thing ever because if you don't hit the command when it says so, you get hurt. Thing is, the command changes rapidly. I died 5 times by hitting the "escape" option only for it to change to the get hurt option the millisecond I press it. Also, the boss is invincible during attacks for whatever reason, only gets locked into a combo chain of yours when it wants to, while other times it'll just become invincible and whip chain you, has 1 million defence and max health for an enemy. Kingdom Hearts, I know it's an ultimate boss, but chill the fuck out.
Sorry, I needed to rant.
NO ONE LIKES WHITNEY AND HER MILTANK!!!
NO ONE LIKES WHITNEY AND HER MILTANK!!!You can easily get a fighting-type nearby tho ...Although granted, it's still a bulky and annoying pokémon either way. I suggest a rock-type if you don't feel like training up a fighting-type, since high defense plus being resistant to Miltank's attacks equals a solid wall.
Arkham in dmc3 is one of the lamest things capcom have ever shat out
Marie in Skullgirls. Some character makes fighting her insanely easy but the first time you fight her with Filia for most people since Filia is the staple character is painful. Mostly because Fillia sucks...
He's not that bad to me now, but Belberith from Devil Survivor. Attacks from halfway across the map, has a very annoying HP regen, his normal attack hits everyone in your team... Thank Arceus he's at least weak to Zan.
Oh boy, Demons Souls, the game that started off the Souls series. It had its high points, but man did it have some lows.
Namely, the Maneaters, they’re rather small for a demon, no real problem there, the problems start with their ability to fly. Simply put, it’s bugged.
The Maneaters can And will attempt to land on pillars too small for them, which results in them falling off and starting flying again. Sometimes they will do this EVERY TIME they try to land, meaning melee characters cannot hit them.
You start off facing one Maneater, it doesn’t hit too hard, however, he has a lunge attack with enormous range that cannot be blocked.
And all his attacks knock you to the ground if they hit. You get him down to about half health, and the other pops up.
So if one uses the lunge, they are likely to hit you.
Which allows the other to hit you while you are down.
Which allows the other to hit you while you are down.
Which.... Yeah, you see where I’m going.
In addition, the area is rather small, so if you do not position yourself extremely carefully, you can get knocked off and fall to your death.
Such a BS boss that the designers left in a glitch that let you kill the first before entering the arena.
Venitas, The battle itself isn’t BS, it’s the final phase that is, you have to use the right attack but it’s always random, then you have to use your finish command, THE FINISH COMMAND, THE FINAL ATTACK CAN MISS. I missed like 15 times before I killed him. Easy boss, impossible to kill though.
Fire Emblem Fates.
All of them, but especially Conquest. All bosses.
I love that in every fight, every boss gain and lose the most haxxy and this-scenario-only useful skills. So much for a fair fight.
And in Conquest, where you can barely stay leveled to survive at all, they still have them. A kitten fighting a bulldozer. Good luck.
There's a difference between challenging and just plain unfair.
NO ONE LIKES WHITNEY AND HER MILTANK!!!Actually Whitney was easy for me :P But my least favorite boss is Oil Ocean (mania edition) main boss *ahem* THAT BOSS IS SO FRUSTRATINGLY DIFFICULT I WANTED TO RIP MY SWITCH IN TWO!!!!!
Agni and Rudra in DMC 3. The level that they end is a long one, and seeing as how it was my first "real" DMC after DmC... Yeah, you can guess how that went, with me being bad at Beat 'Em Up games and the fact that keeping track of two bosses at once that aren't exactly predictable is... Not easy.
Obligatory

Also, Azazel from Tekken 6
Polaris from DS2
Demi-Fiend's ultimate boss fight in SMT: Digital Devil Saga.
Favorite protagonist design, but seriously f u c k that guy and his bullshit boss fight.
He tries to beat you into a pattern, and if you break from that pattern he uses Gaea Rage, which has a base damage of 9999. So unless you have Close Call or something you're gonna get party wiped.
To this day I haven't beaten that boss.

Voracidous the Invincible in bl2 on op8 hes a bitch
NO ONE LIKES WHITNEY AND HER MILTANK!!!I agree with that fully. Also DANCE WATER DANCE Demyx.
The mysterious figure in Birth By Sleep. He was unnecessarily overpowered. You barely had time to hit him, you had to rely on a bullshit tactic and use the cartwheel of indestructibility as Aqua or dodgeroll of invincibility as Ventus. Want extra hard mode? Use Terra, his slide dash doesn't have as many i frames as the other two so you have to time with the presicion of Star Platinum himself!
This isn't really a BS boss in and of itself. I'm mainly sharing this because of the amusing story.
Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. The final form of the final boss, Malefor, has an invincible shield. You're supposed to charge up your Fury Meter by hitting it, then use a Fury Attack to get past the shield.
The thing is, I had no idea how to do so. Mainly because I've never used this mechanic outside the tutorial.
However, by equipping every piece of a certain armor, you can use Fury Breath. It eats up Mana, but there is also a piece of armor that regens Mana for Cynder over time. Also, I discovered that if you stand in a certain spot after a certain attack, Malefor will do absolutely nothing until you move.
So basically, I used Fury Breath, waited in that certain spot and switched to the mana recharge for a few minutes, switched back to attack again, rinse and repeat.
data rematch demyx from kh2, and..........shinryu from ffxiv. the normal one, and i hate it so much....
Demyx and Xalin, data and normal, aren't that bad. Wisdom fire decimates Demyx's health and one shots the water clones whilst any ice spells will allow you to to the command from the normal fight in his data mode and all you need for Xaldin is to guard and use the jump command in both fights. Data Vexen, on the other hand, is just obnoxious. Every attack knocks you 5 miles away and his shield has to be broken before you can use fire to kill him, admittedly, very quickly. He combos the fuck out of you as well. But the real kicker is the anti sora that combos you to hell and back. So you just kill him, apart from Vexen has a nasty habit of using his ultimate when the anti sora is near death just to heal him. You can also accidently break data Vexen's shield if your not careful when fighting anti sora, costing you time to attack him. Not a hard fight, but definatly annoying.

only thing harder Data Roxas STOP WITH YOUR ANIME FLIPPY SHIT I JUST WANT MY SILVER CROWN YOU SHOUNEN FUCKI disagree. His ultimate can easily be glided around and most his attacks can be nullified with reflect, laser beams or otherwise. Also, the reaction command helps a lot with data roxas, if you can get it right. You get his keyblades for about 30 seconds and can decimate his health bar with them. I think he was the third one I beat after Larxene and Marluxia, both of which I beat on my first try. Admittedly, Roxas did kill me a few times, but he's not that hard, especially compared to data Luxord's luck based battle and having to play as Riku in Data Xemnas' battle.
dude, im shit at timing. its ungodly, i actually died less to vexen and xemnas than luxord or roxasonly thing harder Data Roxas STOP WITH YOUR ANIME FLIPPY SHIT I JUST WANT MY SILVER CROWN YOU SHOUNEN FUCKI disagree.

dude, im shit at timing. its ungodly, i actually died less to vexen and xemnas than luxord or roxasLuxord may be my hardest boss out of the data organization just because of how bad at timing I am. You can beat him without doing any of his regular minigames, but you HAVE to beat the one at the end of his desperation move to be able to beat him. And because of bad at timing I am, it took me a few tries to get past it, and even then it was by luck. Ironically, data Xemnas was actually one of the easier data organizations bosses for me. The only thing that screwed me up was having to play as Riku, but if you do enough damage to Xemnas, you can bypass that stage of the fight all together.
Leopardmon from the great challenge 2 in digimon story cyber sleuth, it was probably hard because i didn't have many virus types or maybe i just suck at video games probably the second one he goes into these bs stances where he just spams the same bs moves, he's relatively easy when the fight begins but then he goes into his offence stance when you deal some decent damage and he starts spamming extinction wave WHICH HITS YOUR ALL OF YOUR DIGIMON YOU HAVE OUT, then when you are about to kill him he enters support stance and spans anti stun to heal himself back to half health, then the cycle restarts, and sometimes he uses safeguard WHICH LETS HIM WITHSTAND AN ATTACK THAT WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM WHICH IS HILARIOUS

Dark eater midir from dark Souls 3 the ringed city dlc. He isn't hard that's the thing. He just has a huge health pool, long destructive combos and hits like a truck, on fire, falling off a cliff
Elmo in Sesame Street Fighter.
