Hardest that I’ve beaten were Sigrun from God of War, and King Hrólf Kraki from GoW: Ragnarok.
Bosses that made the entire game up to that point feel like a tutorial.
Hogger
… fucking Hogger, man
The vid was posted 10 years ago but it’s much older than that. I remember watching it on Google videos right around Burning Crusade coming out.
Anyway, gl next time you’re in Goldshire.
That’s the best thing I’ve seen all year. Miss doing stuff like that.
That bird in Karatka. I’m told it isn’t hard but I could never get the timing right.
Greetings, fellow traveler. I too remember the Apple II and 5.25" disks
I’m too lazy to type the whole thing out but since I had an Atari you can figure out the flame I am supposed to leave in this spot.
Good times.
My end boss there was fucking landing on that aircraft carrier.
DS3’s Pontif Sulyvahn! GRR! I’ll get you next playthrough! Just you wait!
Just gotta master that parry timing. Oh, and just wail on him and his clone when he summons it. With enough damage it won’t be a problem at all.
i gave up on consort Radahn. but i guess they made it easier later with a patch? never went back to try again after trying to beat him for a week.

I don’t think I’ve ever beaten Doom 2 without cheats or mouselook. I just can’t time those rockets correctly.
I got the Xbox port of this a few years ago, and the last level of Doom 2 was a bitch to play. I died so many f’ing times before I finally got it.
I’ve been a player of the original era DOOM games since the start and am pretty good on PC with a mouse and keyboard, but I’ve always found the console ports so much more difficult for some reason. On other games I can swap platforms and control schemes just fine, but my brain just will not accept the combination of DOOM plus a console controller.
I played Doom and even Quake with keyboard only. That should translate well to a controller. But maybe that’s why my brother always kicked my ass in death match.
I think I only switched to mouse look with Jedi Knight.
I’m the same way with Age of Empires II. My younger sister loves to play the Xbox port but I’ve played AoE since the late 90s when they were originally released on pc… I can’t stand to play it on a console.
Perhaps you might find it easier to archvile jump into the exposed brain and chaingun it to death.
I’ve been stuck deep in Bomberman '93 for about 15 years. It’s the boss level that starts with the multiple enemies on motorcycles and then progresses to a single boss who flies around the perimeter of the level and shoots fire. Every few years I’ll load up my save and spend an hour or two re-learning the fire guy’s patterns and making attempts, but never quite well enough.
I’ve heard Bomberman '94 is really cool, but I’m not allowing myself until I finish this one!
About 100 hours on the final boss of FF8 because I fucked up and saved right before the fight with basically nothing in my inventory. I repeated the fight for literal weeks, trying different strategies and item use patterns and stuff.
It was very rewarding to complete, but I’ll never play that game again.
The final battle in Star Trek 25th Anniversary (before it was patched). It’s just not possible to win this!
A real Kobayashi Maru, you say?
Unintentionally by the developers, but yes, absolutely! Good one!
Mike Tyson/Mr. Dream in Punch-Out!! (I did beat them with Game Genie though).
I’ve never technically beaten the final Bowser boss in Super Mario 64. Me and my siblings grew up with the game as kids. I remember us having 114 out of 120 stars. We were trying really hard to 100% the game, then I think it was our nephews who ended up deleting our save. That was a sad day.
We never did find the second secret slide. I only found where it was once my best friend showed me the location as adults.
Joker in Batman for the NES. It took forever to get to him, and it was too easy to mess it up
Sekero is just about my favorite game. I’ve completed it at least 20 times and will do so again.
I’ve beaten the Demon of Hatred 2 times and I never want to play that motherfucker ever again.
Killed him once legit and then cheesed him off the cliff on every subsequent playthrough. Fuck that boss.
