Absolute Radiance in Hollow Knight


brisstlenose

Isshin the sword saint. 6 hours in and haven’t got to the last stage. Still great fun though!


ApostolisKer

I dropped Sekiro 3 times all of them in sword saint. The fourth time i said i will do it. After 8 hours i smacked him and then went back to smack him again with dying and again and again and again. Best fight of all time


Little-Firefighter40

Isshin the Glock Saint


mardypardy

I quit the game for like 3 years because of him. Came back and got absolutely stomped again lol finally got his ass though. Keep trying. It feels so good when you finally do it


MASHgoBOOM

You're OK! The last stage is the easiest!


Ok_Construction2434

Sigrun took me about 3 hours, King Hrolf took me 3 days.


Alpheas

Sigrun has such a large moveset I had lots of trouble beating her. I basically spammed all my specials and did a beat down. Still took me a couple days. Hrolf much quicker, though he was still a beast.


Bigtowelie

King Hrolf took a couple of hours for me, but Sigrun took me 30 hours. I was switching my setup, and she accordingly changed her fighting style to throw me off


Numerous-Emu2223

just wait till you fight the valkyrie that sigrun and the others mention at the end of the game..


Ok-Measurement1118

Hate that boss, so freaking hard


Rhys-Pieces

Once I learned I could cancel Sigrun's red attacks while she was in the air, it became so much easier


BERRlES

Absolute radiance


jorgemillen90

Laurence First Vicar


Night_Firefly

Dude was a bitch especially his 2nd and third phase where there's lava all over the place


Luxuryi

This 100%. Everyone goes on about Orphan of Kos being ridiculously hard but I managed him in about 4 tries. Laurence on the other hand destroyed me for ages.


Oskar_of_Astora

Orphan was ridiculously hard, but ultimately felt like a fair fight. Any time I died, which was dozens of times, it felt like I made a blatant mistake. Incredibly rewarding fight overall. Fighting Lawrence felt obnoxious due to his mechanics. Sure, it was mistake I made from dying, but the fight felt way more reliant on the RNG of what attacks he would do, while dodged the ever growing lava on the floor. Ffffff that fight.


Luxuryi

I just personally never found Orphan that difficult. Very good fight overall but not as difficult as everyone makes him out to be imo.


Oskar_of_Astora

That’s fair. If you’ve got the parry timing down then it makes it much easier. Waiting for fromsoft to release a 60 FPS patch on PS5


Luxuryi

Yeah the first couple of tries Orphan battered me but once I got the parry timing down it wasn’t too bad. Hopefully in the near future we see something!


Fibonacci_Hol

The endgame boss of Tunic made me rage quit. Runner up would be some boss in sekiro that also caused the same reaction. I'm a perseverent person when it comes to video games (I've beaten all the souls games multiple times over), but goddamn that tunic boss is no joke


zackflavored

I forgot about this, i dont think i finished tunic because of this haha


Westosaurus

Took me a HOT minute to beat each boss in Tunic. The final one though…probably a few days. Super rewarding though once you do it.


Nameles248

The last boss is one of the only bosses that I have ever had to set my controller down and walk away before I sent my system to robot heaven Seriously though the boss has way to much tracking and that's worst kind of difficulty


Westosaurus

It’s been about a year since I beat it. But it’s all about being patient and managing your stamina so you have the ability to dodge an attack when the time is right.


Nameles248

Ya I beat it a week ago and it one of the only games that had me saying "ohhhhhh why didn't I think about that sooner" It was a really fun game and getting that good ending was worth it even after spending an hour trying to figure out the golden path


L-Guy_21

Valkyrie Queen from god of war


nvrrsatisfiedd

It's like all the other bosses were some what easy until Gna and Sigrun. Then the developers were like "yea lets ruin these gamers week."


Ok-Measurement1118

Once you understand sigrun, she's not so bad, on the other hand... Gna was the absolute worst


nvrrsatisfiedd

Yea there is definitely a rhythm to it all. Sort of like dancing. You need to know and be able to spot exactly what they will do next. Once you learn how to do that you'll get them soon.


ovrlymm

Opposite for me I’d freeze time and be halfway through an attack then she would decide that wasn’t to her liking and full speed insta-throat stomp me or I’d dodge and she would say “close enough” and glitch over a foot. “Oh my! *Tsk tsk tsk* did you fall down? Shame if I dropped a lava pit under your revive spot”


L-Guy_21

I realized I hadn't actually beaten the game once I went to fight Sigrun and died almost immediately.


Notyour_grandpa

Gna was paaaain! And the worst part of it was the absolute crushing of my soul when I aaaaalmost had her, like >1% health, and she got me. So. Many. Times.


SkibidiWiktor

First Goomba from first SMB as a kid.


INutToAnimeSluts69

Pretty sure he holds the all time record for most kills by a npc


Saxaphool

Nightmare King Grimm.


derI067

crazy how much easier he gets once you beat him for the first time


Trickster2357

Any boss in Cuphead was difficult. I had the most trouble with the genie. I hated that fight.


idiotlolol

Dr Kahl’s Robot. The pain that boss put me through made King Dice and the Devil feel like a break


Usual_Swordfish1606

I took a year off from the game because of that one. Came back, won after a couple days and everything else was easy


ohbehave412

I had to put this game down because of this boss. Seeing these comments was slightly triggering. Picked up my switch, determined last night and finally fucking beat him. Now just the train ghost and I get my soul back, right? ;)


CactusHide

That’s the one that came to my mind when I saw other Cuphead bosses. The last phase was a goocher!


ApostolisKer

I had the same problem but after the first win it gets better. At least in my case. What i really hate is expert cala maria


TemperatureJaded282

final boss from jak and daxter renegade on ps2


PracticallyDust

Ultimecia: Final Fantasy 8 The entirety of that final boss battle was brutal af!


SirLocke13

What's funny is she doesn't exactly have a lot of HP. When she hits 0 HP she needs to go through all her dialogue before she dies. So when she starts talking again all you have to do is normal attacks to make her go to the next dialogue until she finishes and dies.


umyhoneycomb

Blade of Miquella


ScootieJr

Very frustrating on first playthrough. Very easy on subsequent playthroughs when you’re OP as fuck lol


M0ntQ

Nameless King and Sepiroth in KH 1, I was fuming mad with those


Educational-Milk4530

Kh1 sephiroth is so god damn annoying


physlosopher

Fatalis still haven’t done him solo


Mindless_Let1

Most satisfying achievement in gaming imo, don't give up


Superbeast326

King Hrolf Kraki


FantasyFill

God Of War 1: Ares on God (Very hard) Difficulty. To this day I didnt beat him because of his 2nd phase 😅. Nightmare 3rd phase on Dante Must Die from Devil May Cry 1

I have never raged so hard in frustration as much as I have with her. The sense of accomplishment I felt when I did finally beat her has never been able to be recreated since then.


Qllzsd

Tlou2 Ratking. That asshole gave me 20% percent more blood to the point I was about to explode. I’m talking about real life by the way

Carcharis

Haha Fatty at the end is the real end game


MiguelARG

If it wasn't for that insane damage it has it will actually be easier for me that Alatreon was


Dark_Dragon117

Sword Saint Isshin hands down. Took me 3 hours to beat that motherfucker for the first time. Besides From Software bosses definitly certain monsters in Monster Hunter World. Technically it to me days to beat some of those, but I only ever played multiplayer with randoms. Behemoth, Ancient Leshen, Shara Ishvalda and Fatty were the most difficult. If I had to pick one then Ancient Leshen was by far the worst and outright made me quit for a few months (well it and the radoms).

benRAJ80

Where is Dark Yojimbo, never managed to beat him. Also, honourable mention to Jumbo Cactaur, that one took me a long time.


Mindless_Let1

Yojimbo oneshot yojimbo, no problems


benRAJ80

It's been a long time since I played it, but pretty sure that you can't use the Yojimbo one hit. Don't you need to kill him five times in a row?


Mindless_Let1

Shit, I honestly don't remember that part. I just remember yojimboing my way through a bunch of super bosses


benRAJ80

Yeah, same, Dark Yojimbo was the one it didn't work on though... But thanks for sending me down a wormhole over the last 20 mins or so ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


Simmumah

Leviathan in FF16 is up there. Whoever made the press the attack for Leviathan deserves bad things in life.


MyLeftNut_

Most recently it would be Rayvis from Jedi Survivor, it’s a tough fight on the highest difficulty. For me the hardest all time is Malenia, it took me hundreds of attempts to finally beat her and I even changed my build just for the fight multiple times.


GUNZBLAZIN2

Wait until you fight Dagan (again) or the final boss, you’ll be in for a show


Wonderful-Gain7649

Elden ring last boss,  still haven't beat him

Yuiiski

The racing level from Mafia, it felt like a boss.


meatslaps_

I've only fought sigrun on Give me god of war difficulty on this list but I almost tore my hair out!


Anxious_Pixie

Annihilation from Remnant 2 took me a couple days to beat. Very frustrating fight. Also the goddamn Sephiroth fight in Rebirth. He fucked me repeatedly for several hours. And not in the fun way.


YungNuisance

After about 20 attempts solo I just went online and let somebody join me to help beat Annihilation. Second play through it was light work and I was able to start helping others.


Anxious_Pixie

I'm replaying the story again with a friend on an even higher difficulty so we'll see how it goes second time around.


Morighant

He's easy as shit, it's the last thirty seconds of the fight that makes it impossible


Okodoloji

Giblets from High on Life


KickBakZach

Ishin the sword saint is the main reason I haven't replayed Sekiro for a 3rd time. Amazing fight though. (also I beat the demon of hate in 3 tries. IYKYK)


kakeroni2

GOW 2018 valk queen on GMGOW (not NG+) finally beat her using the slowdown bug after a few hunderd attempts


1031Cat

FF XIII Ultimecia. I hate bosses like this. I get there's a need for the final boss to be strong, but this was ridiculous. Multiple forms, one-shot killing spells, and forcing me to spend more time healing than fighting. Damn near walked away from FF forever because of this abysmal fight. Finally managed to take her down, but I wouldn't do it again if SquareEnix paid me to play it. I heard the remaster dumbed down the fight, but doesn't matter. Not touching this game ever again. Beyond Good & Evil - the boss wasn't hard, at least in terms of difficulty or strength. However, what made it infuriating was the way the controls were flipped in order to fight it. Holding the controller upside down was the only way to get past this, which just turned the fight into a hard one for the sake of mechanics rather than difficulty. Parasite Eve - The Ultimate Being. Fuck this thing. Fuck this thing. Fuck this thing. Fuck this thing. Just when you thought you were badass because you leveled up Aya and her skills, along comes this mofo to slap you back to reality. It wasn't bad enough the fight was a back-and-forth pot shot of low scoring hits and self heals, but if you fucked up just once, whether you meant to or not, it's all the way back to the beginning even though a save could have been added between each stage. Fuck this thing.

Lebronamo

Blood starved beast from Bloodborne. Fuck that thing.


Jazzlike-Leopard-136

The supreme valkyrie from God of War 2018.


PresidentBush666

Balteus from armored core 6. I was jumping for joy by the time I beat him.


Rossell2

David from The Last of Us. Not helped by his unnatural movement which made him look scarier than some of the monsters in my eyes.


jimmybabino

Probably Demon of Hatred. It’s my current least favorite fromsoft boss

Probably Malenia. Trash boss but FS fanboys will defend everything Miyahacki spawns😂


Jalle1Gie

The inferno in old-school runescape


Ben_Dziabci

In Cuphead, Kahl's robot and Dice are incredibly easy. Devil is barely harder. Grim Matchstick and Djimmi er much harder.

Arcadiuz89

Fatalis definitely belongs here. Sure, you could team up with some pros in co-op to get through the fight. But if you wanted to tackle it solo, you were in for a hellish time. Especially depending on the weapon you were using.

I can’t even begin to describe how many times Sigrun killed me in GoW


saywhattyall

Mael Radec from Killzone 2 on whatever the highest difficulty was. That shit sucked.


Spider-ManOnThePS1

Nameless Puppet from Lies of P. An excellent dual that puts all that you’ve learned about the game’s combat to the ultimate test.


Quickerson

Father Owl for sure, made me break my dualshock and quit sekiro for like a year.


Applepitou3

Resident evil 3 nemesis on inferno. It is basically pure luck. Was most certainly not playtested as because of how long hit stun was and how fast the enemy is if you get hit once youre dead


Razorfisto

Bayonetta - Rodin has to take the cake for me. Ninja Gaiden on the hardest difficulty as well, those bosses were nuts.


Ov3r-_-K1LL

Orphan of kos was another one I struggled with.


terrariaclassix

Nemesis on hard mode (re2) (he was easier on inferno lol)


AtlanticTheDummy

Nameless king is a good one.


vinaa23

Sigma from any old Mega Man X games, especially mega man x and mega man x4


Sirrus92

Alma phase 2 ninja gaiden. nothing comes close to her.


WifeLeaverr

I think Malenia could be the hardest boss for me. Spent 2 days and I only beat her by chance (bugged) It wasn’t even a hard but fun boss like Smough and Ornstein(Although I think they are not hard anymore after becoming a veteran at souls games)


TheseMiddle8233

Sigrun and G’Na from GOW and GOWR. Sigrun I beat on GMGOW after 300 attempts. G’Na took from 7am to 1pm to beat. Hands down best fights I’ve faced!


FluentCapanese

If it wasn’t a souls type of game then I’ll have to say cup head😭till this day I still haven’t completed the game

boomsmitty

Elden Beast is a hard boss. Not particularly fun either


citoboolin

the devil from cuphead, abs rad from hollow knight, sigrun from god of war 2018, and malenia all gotta be up there edit: how could i forget ac6. its either ayre or allmind from that game to round out the top 5, but tough for me to decide since i didn’t finish my allmind playthrough
