16:30 What's interesting about the Mr Freeze boss fight is that the higher difficulty you chose the more tactics you have to use against him. If you have the game set to hard mode you have to use every single strategy you've learned up to that point to take him down. Since the rest of the game lets you choose what moves you want to do, stealth or direct, having a boss fight where you're required to use different tactics each time because Freeze learns and adapts is honesty really cool.
Wanted to add something about the Mr. Freeze boss fight so basically if you first take down freeze from behind (the silent takedown which you generally use on goons) and then run for the nearest statue of Nora and destroy it then it creates a small window for you to do the silent takedown from behind once again. Its difficult to do since you have to be real quick but you are gonna feel like a total boss for using the same move twice in this boss fight.
The Freeze fight in Arkham City was so much fun! If I remember right, you had to exploit every technique available in the room to take him down on the hardest difficulty.
I just realized I've been watching since like 2014 , I'm impressed at how relevant u guys still are all this time later , thanks for the 10 years of entertainment !
OMG , I love the Boss fight in Arkham City , where Batman and Mr Freeze go at it .Cause one those fights where you have change your tactics , in order to defeat him .Yup , one the sweetest fights in Arkham City .But there is a lot great things about Arkham City , that's pretty sweet .
Actually you can take him out early in the game, and never do the sniper dual. But I do agree it's an extremely satisfying back and forth. Kojima really out did himself with 3.
Destiny raids seem tough but breaking down each part one at a time makes it simple. There is usually always 1 to 3 people who know what they are doing that are willing to help everyone like myself. Riven was one of the most memorable raids to beat and was cheesable for so long people just by passed the mechanics for years if they wanted to.
I probably did around 70-80 runs and not once have I been in a group that did it legit lol. Which is a shame, because learning and mastering the mechanics are what compelled me to do raids in the first place.
Cthun in World of Warcraft. The 40 man raid coordination, and mechanics were insane. And that doesn't even take into account what had to happen to even unlock the fight.
Not many people touched this game but for me personally, The flower final boss from Drakengard 3 would be the most ridiculous and hardest boss fight ever. It really deserves a mention here.
Izax from Star Wars the Old Republic Online is also pretty complicated. As far as I remember it has 8 phases, with 2 of them being insta-wipes if you screw up, and also several puzzle phases. You need at least 8 people with perfect understanding of all phases and completely maxed out gear to stand a chance. As far as I can remember, it took my raid team at the time around 2-3 hours to beat it the first time we attempted it, and that was even after spending hours reading guides and having notes available while we were fighting the boss.
I want to mention Duma from Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia on 3ds. Throughout the game you have two parties: 1 for Alm and 1 for Celica. In the final fight besides having to go through a whole dungeon, you now have to choose units from both teams to to form a new party to take on Duma. Duma(dragon) and his followers constantly spawn minion after minion (6 at a time every time they cast) and you need to defeat them as you reach duma. There is even poison on the ground ticking at you're health...It's a slog of a battle and Duma can easily obliterate your team. For a FE it's easily the hardest Boss ever.
10:09 Booster No. 2 is definitely not the most complicated boss in the OG Super Mario RPG... Not sure about the remake Nintendo did recently. At least originally, it was Culex in Monstro Town.
The game is awesome, really great game. His complaint is that you need to play well, fortunately the game trains you very well that by the time you get to the boss it is tough but it is a worthy end to a challenging, not unfair, and a rewarding game
Trema from Via Infinito in Final Fantasy X-2 was complicated, hard, and greets you with his one-hit kills immediately after the Paragon boss fight with no ability to save the game in between. He required the right jobs, equipment, and hopefully an hour or two of your free time, or you weren't taking that bastard down. I remember needing the official physical Bradygames strategy guide (remember those?) to finally beat him and it took more time out of my life than I care to admit.
One of my proudest gaming moments was sneaking up to The End for his dogtags, no idea how long it took me but it's the kind of gameplay i hope they don't neglect in Delta.
Not having any bosses from FromSoftware games in this video is almost a travesty. Isshin the Sword Saint, Owl Secret Boss fight from Sekiro, Melania, Promised Consort Radahn, the Nameless King, Bayle the Dread Dragon
two old-time bosses come to mind, the first one will take some explaining: in Runescape 2, there's a complex minigame, if i remember, it's called "Barbarian assault". the game requires players to take one of four specific roles. note that it requires 5 players, which means one role will always have two players, but you can only change roles between waves. the four roles are: -Attacker. he can attack SOME enemies directly, BUT he has to use a specific "style" of attack, out of three possibilities, or his attack will hurt HIM! -Collector. he picks up the eggs that are dropped by monsters, BUT only one color at a time is "safe", picking up the wrong type will cause them to explode! he also loads the eggs into a cannon, which ANYONE can fire. blue eggs will stun or slow enemies (if forget which), green eggs will poison enemies, and red will simply hurt them. -Defender. he has to lure some type of enemies into a trap, by using different types of "bait", BUT only one type at a time will work... -Healer. he can restore other players health, and also needs to eliminate some type of enemies by feeding the poisoned food, BUT, again, only one type at a time is safe. he also need to runs to a specific spot to refill his healing items. *for all four types, everything changes every 30 seconds, BUT EACH PLAYER HAS TO TELL ANOTHER WHAT THE CORRECT ONES ARE* ! AND the 10th wave requires you to fight a boss ON TOP of that! and, if i remember, the boss also requires specific types of attack, which change every 30 seconds, AND it has ranged attacks!
Save the Runepowder Bomb, put your party in Globe of Invulnerability, detonate the bomb - wipe out all 4 pillars - the rest of the fight is attrition. An Open-hand Monk can permanently lock down Raphael while his team deal with the other remaining enemies - who are still reeling from the massive explosion. If you managed to convince Yurgir to join you, the fight is even easier - but better not, because the f*cker has a tendency to detonate the Bomb immediately when he sees it, and he has so much DEX that his initiative always overrules yours, giving you no chance to shield up. Instead, wait for Yurg to do his thing, then pop a Globe, and just for effect - throw the Bomb at Ralphy just when his song was starting.
Riven is too much of a hassle to do the right way, that I don't recall ever being in a group (of randoms) that did it legit. To this day, I don't know what the "right way" is, because veterans would rather teach you the cheese than explain the mechanics. Probably did at least 70-80 runs of that back when I was actively playing Destiny.
I played all week after school for hours and all through the weekend till I finally beat The End for the first time. At the time it was incredibly frustrating but looking back now.. easily the most epic boss fight I've ever had. I'm so so glad I resisted looking up how to beat him.
In Octopath Traveler 2, there are some optional fights that you can access from the title screen after the final boss that are even more difficult. You can use Partitio Sidestep / Magic Reflection + Seal of Diffusion to negate all forms of damage, trivializing the boss mentioned in this video.
Just wanted to add, the most effective way to beat the end, is use Thermal Goggles it allows you to see footprints left behind, so when you hit him, you can see the direction he went and even see where he ended up once he posts himself up again
The most difficult boss for me in any game was the Draconic Eerd Tree Sentinel from Elden Ring, took me 187 attempts in the span of 2 days but I wiped nearly everything else. Burned through 2 controllers
You can probably fill the list with Square Enix games. You see most on this list have a common problem - you Have To do x and y and z, and only so you can get through. There’s either not enough tools, or you have to use certain keys in a certain way. The more “complex” the boss is, the less ways you can use to beat it. This is why The End sits above all else, there are just too many ways and tools you can use to solve the puzzle with all the freedom (that Kojima gave you)
The last boss of Nine Sols was indeed very time consuming. At the beginning doing non-stop perfect parries to all incoming attacks was hard enough, but the last phase was especially unfair to be honest :D When Eigong was doing those hypersonic combos from left to right my tactic was to hover above as much as possible to avoid those attacks all together. I don't remember exactly, but in took me about 3-4h in total to beat her :)
The infected brood mother from grounded should have made the list. It took me forever to beat her since she is resistant to most damage, has 3 phases and gets stronger each phase, heals from explosive damage, and applies a debuff to you every time she hits you which reduces the effect of healing items. So you basically have to master blocking.
There are two other bosses from the BG series that deserve at least honorable mentions, and they’re both from the same game. In BG2: Throne of Bhaal, one of the mid-game bosses is a drow cleric named Sendai, and she throws everything she has at you in a multitude of waves. Between the 7 statues of herself that animate one or two at a time (each being a different class or dual-class), the summons, and the endless waves of drow warriors storming through the only door in the room, you have a ton to manage here. Then there’s Sendai herself, and she’s no pushover! But Sendai is just a taste of what awaits you with the final boss. Amelyssan the Blackhearted fights you a total of four times with brief pauses in between, during which time you must fight some of the most difficult monsters in the game (including a fallen solar and two marileths simultaneously, on just one platform!) in order to cut off her access to her power source. Each time, she’s fully healed and recharged. You and your party are not. She deals and tanks damage like a truck, plus she’s accompanied by tons of high-level enemies that absolutely swallow your party whenever you face her. This is an endgame boss you have to spend the entire game preparing to fight, just to have a chance at winning.
Riven is weird, because doing it as designed is definitely complicated, but I've only ever done it that way once in many years of play. There is a much easier unintended way of doing it that basically everyone does. Oddly, for me, the intended way, was far more fun an interesting to me as it felt like a team puzzle that required cooperation and communication to do and that felt rewarding. Basically no one does it that way anymore, though, and i think the player base would lose their minds if it ever got patched to force the intended way.
Gilgamesh was the easiest part of Gilgamesh island; beat him first try with level scaling while I just picked the game back up for the first time since release. It was the dual-Eikon fights that had me temporarily activate easy mode. Seriously, screw those fights; even if you do everything correctly in a couple of them, you still lose to some bs.
Riven is still to this day the most difficult boss encounter that Bungie has ever done. This is why most people just do the cheese instead. I've only ever beaten Riven the legit way once and it took WAY too long. Whereas the cheese only takes a few minutes if you do it right.
Honestly, as a Destiny fan, I would personally put The Witness above Riven. But to be fair, so many people don't even know how to do Riven as intended. The cheese kind of became the de facto way to beat her.
Excellent list! However, I personally believe one of the spots should have gone to Amon from Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon. The true final millennium tower version were you basically have to max every character in your party, and your job classes. Then you have to run an insane gauntlet with the hardest regular enemies in the game as well as a few rehashed bosses. Once you clear that you then have to fight Amon and his fight has a ton of crazy moves including, you guessed it, summoning MORE reused bosses! Lol in almost every other instance that would be a really lame tactic. However for Y7:LaD, the specific bosses, how they're used, where and by who, all have various levels of fan service and nostalgia for series fans. That actually makes it awesome to see "a reused boss". But yeah, super hard fight.
I’m almost 40. I don’t have the time that I use to have. If a game or boss seems too difficult and I cannot cheat through it, I simply don’t play. Life is too damn short, but you don’t realise it until you fully come to the horrific realisation that you cannot save scum life.
I've never done riven legit. Always just did the cheese method and beat him quickly. That's why I like playing destiny to begin with. I like the power fantasy, I don't like super complex mechanics. Just like to have good fun and not play an activity that if one person screws up, everyone has to start over. That's also why I like dungeons the most now.
Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 5 in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It’s been nerfed some since the early days but ten years ago it was a horribly complex fight and even if you knew what to do it was difficult to pull off. Every party member needed to be in sync, and nobody could miss an assignment or it was over fast.
Eigong is a lot more forgiving in that the fight itself is not that long and you can try again fast (second phase being the hardest imo). But Galdera is just pain
Weird question here: why do developers of sniper/shooter games not understand that shooting someone in the head is pretty much the end of... everything? I know they need to be hard to defeat, but an old guy taking several shots to the head and still trying to roll away IN A WHEELCHAIR just breaks my brain.
Why was Lavos from Chrono Trigger not in this list? Minimally, you need an hour to fight all of Lavos' various forms and the units that have to be fought are constantly changing. It's the hardest boss fight from the early JRPG era and still one of the best RPGs ever made.
I remember Mr Freeze in Arkham Knight, it was a bitch but not that complex or difficult, as it’s an early boss. Just finding the different take downs, setting it up and getting him there was the problem. If it didn’t work them you have to restart the section as some of them only have one option
I took the End very easily In Metal Sold Gear 3 , I bought a book from Blockbuster at the time .And someone found a easy trick to take him out , which do is go the map , there is location on the map .Which you can find him , well use your Sniper rifle to take him out .And does work too , then the End is toast .And don't have the book anymore , but I still remember how take him , well with a remastered Metal Sold Gear 3 coming out soon .There is a major tip to use .
Hate to tell you this, but Riven has a bug that lets you skip the entire setup stage and go straight into the DPS phase as a full team of 6, completely removes the 'Complicated part' ... Bungie is aware of this and have never fixed it.
The La Mulana devs themselves said they expect players to enjoy the game by consulting a walkthrough. I have no shame admitting I followed a walkthrough and fully enjoyed the game. Its' indecipherable otherwise.
Bruh Riven from number 10 gives me flashbacks to the final boss fight from Ghost of Tsushima Legends from Act 3, where I had to communicate with a team to even have a remote chance of finishing the raid and getting the gold trophy
It's kinda funny how every game on this list is actually recent except Arkham City. It may not look like it, but that game is 13 years old! Released all the way back in 2011
The game is awesome, really worth it. Yes the final boss is difficult, but very satisfying. It's not unfair, it's rewarding. You learn the boss, every boss and enemy has a learning curve in this game, it's never unfair. This video made it look unfair, but I think the idea was to say how insanely awesome it is. Winning against this boss feels incredible
Raphael is easy if you 1- have a Scroll of Globe of Invulnerability and 2- horde every explosive/oil/firewine barrel you ever find in the game. got down to like 1 frame a second blowing them up but it was so fun to see Raphael die in one turn lol. just make sure to stay inside the safety bubble.
@glistral3629 And if you have no access to Internet so have to figure that out yourself, plus create the optimal build with weapon, armour, skills, gems, items ect ect and all the work to get those pieces and then learn it's movements. There's a lot of prep work that goes into some of the endgame hunts and if you don't look up guides and do everything blind it adds more challenge. It's not just a dps check either, you need to know what to focus on, when and why.
If I remember correctly, didn't the Mr. Freeze fight list all the takedowns to beat him with in the pause menu? (except on new game plus, which you have to beat the game 1st to unlock) Kind of kills any complexity.
I love facing the bosses. Ever heard of Immersive Translate?? It is a tool with expertly crafted prompts for the gaming industry, that ensures that translations are accurate and resonate with gamers.

Real shame, i’m just not good at it
It took me 2 days to beat an optional boss in Black Myth Wukong 🤐
@ which one?
The Freeze fight in Arkham City was so much fun! If I remember right, you had to exploit every technique available in the room to take him down on the hardest difficulty.
Complicated employers might be frustrating, but it's so rewarding to finally figure out what technique works for you and execute it.
@BotRaper
True!
I just realized I've been watching since like 2014 , I'm impressed at how relevant u guys still are all this time later , thanks for the 10 years of entertainment !
Wow! Thanks for sticking around! :)
I was just thinking of this as well as their consistency!
@@gameranxTV same to u
OMG , I love the Boss fight in Arkham City , where Batman and Mr Freeze go at it .Cause one those fights where you have change your tactics , in order to defeat him .Yup , one the sweetest fights in Arkham City .But there is a lot great things about Arkham City , that's pretty sweet .
Mr. Freeze in Arkham City is my favorite. Just the concept of being Batman and slowly having the Batman stuff being taken away from you was brilliant
why rocksteady never did another boss fight like that is a mystery we'll never know
Solid point there friend! :D
Still the only channel that has kept my interest and have watched every video for almost 8 years now...
The End is among the very best boss fights ever, not hard, just requires patience😊

Queens run in last wish was broken for what felt like two years.. 😂
Thanks Gameranx!
Complicated bosses cam be infuriating but finally figuring out what strategy works best for you and actually pulling it off is so satisfying
The End was absolutely the BEST boss fight of all time.
To this day it's still my favorite.
Perfect way to start the morning!
I've been up for hours
I'm in RSA it's 6 pm down here
Or the evening for me 😂
00:18 Unfortunately, most people "cheese" Riven. Defeating her the legit way, though, is one of the most satisfying accomplishments in video games. :)

The End was always my favorite MGS 3 boss. And don't forget that you can hold him up to get his camo.
So many fun bosses to plan out lol
And here I was proud of myself when I beat Emerald and Ruby Weapon in the original FF7. Too bad we didn’t have trophies back then.

I don't know what I did right, but the Raphael fight was a cinch for me. I only had to savescum it like fourteen times.
My Build was so broken, he was lucky to survive one round. ^^
Riven is the QUEEN of complicated boss fights, thank you very much.
lol thanks for watching! :)
Not having any bosses from FromSoftware games in this video is almost a travesty. Isshin the Sword Saint, Owl Secret Boss fight from Sekiro, Melania, Promised Consort Radahn, the Nameless King, Bayle the Dread Dragon

the four roles are:
-Attacker. he can attack SOME enemies directly, BUT he has to use a specific "style" of attack, out of three possibilities, or his attack will hurt HIM!
-Collector. he picks up the eggs that are dropped by monsters, BUT only one color at a time is "safe", picking up the wrong type will cause them to explode!
he also loads the eggs into a cannon, which ANYONE can fire. blue eggs will stun or slow enemies (if forget which), green eggs will poison enemies, and red will simply hurt them.
-Defender. he has to lure some type of enemies into a trap, by using different types of "bait", BUT only one type at a time will work...
-Healer. he can restore other players health, and also needs to eliminate some type of enemies by feeding the poisoned food, BUT, again, only one type at a time is safe.
he also need to runs to a specific spot to refill his healing items.
*for all four types, everything changes every 30 seconds, BUT EACH PLAYER HAS TO TELL ANOTHER WHAT THE CORRECT ONES ARE* !
AND the 10th wave requires you to fight a boss ON TOP of that!
and, if i remember, the boss also requires specific types of attack, which change every 30 seconds, AND it has ranged attacks!

Anybody else beat the Demon of Hatred in SEKIRO without cheesing him over the edge of the cliff?
Lol I love that Riven is on here. I’ve beaten every Destiny 2 raid boss and I’ve STILL not beaten Riven the way you’re supposed to

If you know your abilities well the Mr Freeze fight is a load of fun and doesn't need all that much planning at all.
As a final boss, Bowser eats the rest of them for breakfast 😈😈😈
Astral ancent has so many good fights but last boss is so good and challenging!
Same can be said about Ember knights.
Gilgamesh was the easiest part of Gilgamesh island; beat him first try with level scaling while I just picked the game back up for the first time since release. It was the dual-Eikon fights that had me temporarily activate easy mode. Seriously, screw those fights; even if you do everything correctly in a couple of them, you still lose to some bs.
Riven is still to this day the most difficult boss encounter that Bungie has ever done. This is why most people just do the cheese instead. I've only ever beaten Riven the legit way once and it took WAY too long. Whereas the cheese only takes a few minutes if you do it right.
Honestly, as a Destiny fan, I would personally put The Witness above Riven. But to be fair, so many people don't even know how to do Riven as intended. The cheese kind of became the de facto way to beat her.
Yeah for Riven, she is cheesed out so bad nowadays. But the legit way is like 5D chess.
See that's why in destiny 2 you have to do those 10 headshot rocket launcher quest without reloading and then the 50 melee hits with being hit.
Man, skipping the 2 bosses the end of Etrian Oddyssey 3 is a criminal act.
🔥🔥Jakey’s on fire🔥🔥
To be fair, in Destiny 2 pretty much no one did the fight the way the devs intended, there is a cheese method where you can skip all the sign reading.
Excellent list! However, I personally believe one of the spots should have gone to Amon from Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon. The true final millennium tower version were you basically have to max every character in your party, and your job classes. Then you have to run an insane gauntlet with the hardest regular enemies in the game as well as a few rehashed bosses. Once you clear that you then have to fight Amon and his fight has a ton of crazy moves including, you guessed it, summoning MORE reused bosses!
Lol in almost every other instance that would be a really lame tactic. However for Y7:LaD, the specific bosses, how they're used, where and by who, all have various levels of fan service and nostalgia for series fans. That actually makes it awesome to see "a reused boss".
But yeah, super hard fight.
How about you do 10 bosses that started off most annoying yet finished off as the most fun?
gameranx top 10 background is such a flashbang to my eyes I'm watching video in dark room
Wizpig in Diddy Kong Racing still haunts me.
13:45 lol you don't get that feeling in games much anymore. But when you over come that, its feels good.
I’m almost 40. I don’t have the time that I use to have. If a game or boss seems too difficult and I cannot cheat through it, I simply don’t play. Life is too damn short, but you don’t realise it until you fully come to the horrific realisation that you cannot save scum life.
On my first playthrough of BG3, I had someone with a throwing build and a few crates to climb on. He laid Rafael down in 3 turn it was so hilarious
I've never done riven legit. Always just did the cheese method and beat him quickly. That's why I like playing destiny to begin with. I like the power fantasy, I don't like super complex mechanics. Just like to have good fun and not play an activity that if one person screws up, everyone has to start over. That's also why I like dungeons the most now.
That octopath traveler 2 boss was absolutely maniacal haha
LOL
Binding Coil of Bahamut Turn 5 in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It’s been nerfed some since the early days but ten years ago it was a horribly complex fight and even if you knew what to do it was difficult to pull off. Every party member needed to be in sync, and nobody could miss an assignment or it was over fast.
Nine Sols boss made me think of Phantom Aqua from Kingdom Hearts. Insane boss fight.
Eigong is a lot more forgiving in that the fight itself is not that long and you can try again fast (second phase being the hardest imo). But Galdera is just pain
I still haven't beaten Yozora on Critical Mode but I will before KH4 comes out.
was that Re:mind dlc? i havent played that
The freeze fight is my most memorable
Hellow everyone! Morning !
Hey
Weird question here: why do developers of sniper/shooter games not understand that shooting someone in the head is pretty much the end of... everything? I know they need to be hard to defeat, but an old guy taking several shots to the head and still trying to roll away IN A WHEELCHAIR just breaks my brain.
Why was Lavos from Chrono Trigger not in this list? Minimally, you need an hour to fight all of Lavos' various forms and the units that have to be fought are constantly changing. It's the hardest boss fight from the early JRPG era and still one of the best RPGs ever made.
I remember Mr Freeze in Arkham Knight, it was a bitch but not that complex or difficult, as it’s an early boss. Just finding the different take downs, setting it up and getting him there was the problem. If it didn’t work them you have to restart the section as some of them only have one option
Morning!!!❤
You guys should do a list for MMO bosses if you waant to know real pain. Or just a video for WoW bosses ranked.
they did i believe, i think that crazy boss from FF online was in there, that they had to change because it gave ppl health issues lol
I took the End very easily In Metal Sold Gear 3 , I bought a book from Blockbuster at the time .And someone found a easy trick to take him out , which do is go the map , there is location on the map .Which you can find him , well use your Sniper rifle to take him out .And does work too , then the End is toast .And don't have the book anymore , but I still remember how take him , well with a remastered Metal Sold Gear 3 coming out soon .There is a major tip to use .
Hate to tell you this, but Riven has a bug that lets you skip the entire setup stage and go straight into the DPS phase as a full team of 6, completely removes the 'Complicated part' ... Bungie is aware of this and have never fixed it.
👍🏼
Typical modern bungie
@@KingOfhearts72Majority of people only run that raid for nostalgia at this point anyways
The La Mulana devs themselves said they expect players to enjoy the game by consulting a walkthrough. I have no shame admitting I followed a walkthrough and fully enjoyed the game. Its' indecipherable otherwise.
Bruh Riven from number 10 gives me flashbacks to the final boss fight from Ghost of Tsushima Legends from Act 3, where I had to communicate with a team to even have a remote chance of finishing the raid and getting the gold trophy
Remnant 2 boss was hard, you need to listen to the sound/music cue before he attacks to land a perfect dodge
As a Myst fan, was a bit confused for about half a second when I heard "Riven."
Number 5 gave me Vergil vibes🎉❤I wanna try😅
Mr Freeze: "Get. Off. Mee" 😂😂😂😂
The God of War Sigrun fight is crazy tho!
Not wrong there!
It's kinda funny how every game on this list is actually recent except Arkham City. It may not look like it, but that game is 13 years old! Released all the way back in 2011
yep
metal gear solid 3 is around 20 yo.
Snake Eater was 2004.
mario rpg is actual?
Super Mario RPG is from 1996
The Destiny boss was dope I never knew! Ty Jake
Hey thanks for giving our video a watch! :)
@@gameranxTV thanks to you guys
And I was considering trying Nine souls 😂. Thanks for the heads up 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
The game is awesome, really worth it. Yes the final boss is difficult, but very satisfying. It's not unfair, it's rewarding. You learn the boss, every boss and enemy has a learning curve in this game, it's never unfair. This video made it look unfair, but I think the idea was to say how insanely awesome it is. Winning against this boss feels incredible
Avril Lavigne - Complicated
Raphael is easy if you 1- have a Scroll of Globe of Invulnerability and 2- horde every explosive/oil/firewine barrel you ever find in the game. got down to like 1 frame a second blowing them up but it was so fun to see Raphael die in one turn lol. just make sure to stay inside the safety bubble.
The Mr. Freeze fight was clever AF and very fitting for the villain, especially considering how Arkham Asylum had some underwhelming boss fights.
Alatreon, Monster Hunter World.
Not complicated, just a dps check.
@glistral3629 And if you have no access to Internet so have to figure that out yourself, plus create the optimal build with weapon, armour, skills, gems, items ect ect and all the work to get those pieces and then learn it's movements.
There's a lot of prep work that goes into some of the endgame hunts and if you don't look up guides and do everything blind it adds more challenge. It's not just a dps check either, you need to know what to focus on, when and why.
If I remember correctly, didn't the Mr. Freeze fight list all the takedowns to beat him with in the pause menu? (except on new game plus, which you have to beat the game 1st to unlock) Kind of kills any complexity.
The end is easy with thermal goggles, you can follow his footprints.
I love facing the bosses. Ever heard of Immersive Translate?? It is a tool with expertly crafted prompts for the gaming industry, that ensures that translations are accurate and resonate with gamers.
Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out!
