7 Unwinnable Boss Fights You Can Beat If You're Good Enough
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 лип 2024
- If a game really wants to put you in your place, the easiest way is to drop you into a boss fight, usually early in the game, that is unwinnable. This reminds you that you, the player, are a worthless scrub who will have to go on a hero's journey before you can defeat the big baddie.
Except sometimes those bosses aren't quite impossible to beat - whether that's through cunning, skill or just sheer bloody mindedness. These seven bosses might seem like they're just a delivery vector for a humiliating story cutscene, but you can actually defeat them.
Defeat your real life boss by subscribing for a video like this every Thursday and watching it during a slow period at work.

My favorite is when you think it's an unwinnable boss fight... but you get a Game Over instead of the continuation of the story.

Fun Fact: Terraria's Dungeon Guardian was meant to be unbeatable. Then someone beat it, so the devs made it drop the Bone Key.
If it has an hp number, someone WILL kill it
I've done it before. With 2 friends.
I LITTERALLY JUST COMMENTED THAT but it's good someone else thought of this
@@eggman3908 With enough planning and the right gear, it isn't that difficult to do. I used the Rod of Discord to escape the Dungeon once the Dungeon Guardian spawned, then I used the Cosmic Car Key to outrun it (or rather, outfly it) while using the Rod of Discord at the edge of the world to change directions. I used the Star Wrath to attack it.
@@whynot3424 Yeah, the Dungeon Guardian immediately came to my mind.
I love how the games have special cutscenes for fights you aren’t supposed to win just in case you manage to
Good developers: Make unwinnable boss fights able to be won if you are good enough.
Great developers: Make winning them actually change the rest of the game/give you a special hidden ending.

It’s incredibly hard to pull off, but in Dishonored: Brigmore Witches Daud has a nightmare and fights Corvo.

Aye, in Dark Souls your roll/dodge speed is determined by how heavy your gear is in combination with a particular stat. If it's high enough, you can in fact mid roll/fast roll with heavy armor (but that's usually way later into the playthrough). That's why the Naked runs are a thing, you get the fastest roll right off the bat and can use a heavy weapon two-handed because using two hands doubles your strength stat, so long as you half at least half the strength required to wield it (among other stats).

So I recently started playing kingdom hearts and I beat Leon 1st try because I backed him into a corner and he couldn’t do anything. Every time I got hit most of my hp would be gone and I used every healing item I had, thinking I had to win to progress the story.
I know what you mean. I did the same thing, then my friend told me “uhm… you can just lose to Squall and save time and Health Potions. I was extremely pissed being told that.
@@junivanofdragonia Yeah, but Yuffie gives you an item if you do win. IIRC it's an elixir, at least in Final Mix.
@@13crystals61 I don't remember getting an item. But it has been over 5 years since I've beaten him. I just lose, to speed up the game.
But I'm sure you get something. I remember Yuffie telling Leon (Squall) that he has gotten soft lol. Then Leon says "I went easy on him,"
But in my mind he says "...whatever"
@@junivanofdragonia I might be misremembering, but I know for a fact that there is a benefit to winning aside from xp and pride.
I was surprised he was even on this list. He's not a very difficult boss at all. Cloud was an absolute nightmare in comparison.
I found Umbra in Oblivion at like level 4 and spent hours trying to cheese to a win and eventually pulled it off. I then went back to the city and used her gear to win all of the arena fights with absolutely no contest and become the champion.
jesus christ you legend
Demon Souls has a better "unbeatable" first boss. You beat him, a portal opens up, thinking you've achieved something incredible, get punched in face by Dragon God.
One one needs to be beat later, but here, we get greeted with a cutscene of course :D
but not before getting a nice load of goodies before hand, and that cutscene will always be my favorite way of having your character get to the main hub.
Honestly amazing, since it was designed to be impossible AND had the fail safe that all should employ - The Dragon version of Mike Tyson.
They've talked about him in a different version of this episode, so it would've been a bit unfair if they did it again.
Ya thats what said, asylum demon is weak scause

One of the most well done examples of this is in Chrono Trigger. You're allowed to fight Lavos (The final boss and primary antagonist) at any point in the story, and while it's incredibly difficult and requires an unbelievable amount of grinding, it is possible to beat him at the beginning of the game.
Fr I haven't been able to beat Lavos yet lol
New Game + makes that considerably easier to pull off, but still tough.
@@EggmanlandResidentThat's true, the second time I fought it in his first battle I did my best thinking I was gonna lose anyway, then boom 🤯 I was able to defeat it.
You know, I never will never understand why when they’re showing gameplay they have a black screen, and right when your eyes get used to it they flash bang you with a background brighter than the sun
I appreciate how ass most of the gameplay is, because it shows that they at least played it for themselves instead of ripping footage.
Ezy boss fights
why, do people complain about the gameplay they show during the lists? Man, some people will whinge over just about anything, these days. 😅
Rude but fair
Minus the fat rolling
Yeah because they genuinely like games.
Leon from Kingdom Hearts felt more like a "boss you don't have to beat" more than "a boss you're not suppose to beat".
If you learn how to parry in Destiny islands Leon is the easiest boss in my opinion. "Let's see what that fireball can do to your own face".

So I played dark souls for the first time, and I thought I HAD to defeat the beast, so I spent three hours trying to defeat it, failed, remade a character with the bombs and won. Very fristrating to know I was supposed to skip it
bro there's literally a dev message telling you to run
Used up all my pride to finally give up on trying to kill it
@@lightbrand_ a lot of people skip the tutorial messages because they heard the orange messages are from players, and thus ignore the developer messages assuming they were jokes like "great chest ahead".
My first Dark Souls playthrough was with a friend who had played the game extensively. He didn't let on until I had actually made it out of the area that I should have just left the first encounter instead of beating my head against it over and over. Real asshole move, but it did force me to 'git gud'
Tales of Symphonia ought to have been added to this list, because when you reach the "Tower of Salvation" for the first time, you are thrusted into a boss battle without two of your party members against a so-called "Angel" facading as one of your characters' father. When it is revealed that they weren't who they claimed to be, you must fight them. The game intends for you to looze that battle, but if you win, you end up fighting a former team member, "Kratos". Once again, you are expected to looze the battle, but if you win even against him as well, then the final boss comes to face you. The probability of winning the fight against the final boss at that point in the game is extremely small for multiple reasons. First, his level is so high comparatively to your own that each individual hit you inflict against him barely does 1% to 2% damage; meaning you are basically giving him mild scratches at best. Additionally, since he is the third fight in a succession of back-to-back fights where the cut-scenes give you absolutely no time to heal nor reposition, you're entering the battle already handicapped. And on top of that, since you are missing two party members, you have a diminished force to face against the final boss as well. However, despite the devastating odds, it is theoretically possible to win! But even if you lower the Final Boss's health down to 0%, a cut-scene triggers where he summons a OHKO attack that instantly wipes out your party regardless. No telling why that Final Boss didn't simply use that OHKO move at the start of the battle instead; would have saved the player a lot of effort trying to very slowly whittle his HP to nothing only for him to turn around and instantly knock-out your party anyway. I happen to know this only because I was one such fool who tried time after time after time again to defeat that Final Boss during that earlier portion of the game; and when I finally succeeded, the cut-scene wipes out my team no matter what. Incidentally, whenever I replay Tales of Symphonia, I will legitimately try to beat the first two bosses strictly for the "Experience Points", but then when the third and Final Boss comes out, I no longer even fight back anymore... My previous victory against him ironically caused me to looze my will to fight that Final Boss at all.........
When I first bought Dark Souls, it had been hyped as this game that was so hard it's practically impossible. I made a level 1 pyromancer, no armor, nothing but a broken sword hilt, and absolute baseline stats, walked into the asylum demon, and thought "Damn, they weren't kidding."
So I spent like an entire day but finally killed it with nothing but raw determination, a bit of luck, and a lot of spite. No other boss fight the series had to offer quite measured up to it.
The easy way is you can go up the stairs and there's a balcony you can plunge down from. Takes a massive chunk out of his health
@@7792thereaper thanks for a tip! Now I can start playing this game more easily. But where may I repair my broken sword? I beat the whole game with it and no Smith could make this blade look like a normal sword. Any tips, master?
@@MeVMaHyou're welcome. The way that I would do it is when the fight starts, I immediately run to the flight of the stairs to the far left end of the room. That will take you to an area where you get a full sword and a shield. This area actually takes you outside, and there's a doorway back in where you'll find the balcony. You can plunge on top of the demon for massive damage. You can do something similar with the Taurus demon. When that fight starts run back up to the tower, and drop down. Don't take too long while you're up there or he'll jump up top
@@7792thereaper thanks for all buddy. 😜
Мирный атом [FlackSaw] also, you can skip the Taurus Demon that they mentioned by starting as thief or picking the master key as your starting gift by opening the door at the bottom of the tower where you go up to fight him. Just run past the absolute unit at the bottom floor and keep heading up through darkroot
The first time I fought with "The End" from metal gear solid 3, I thought I was gonna be stuck there forever. I stopped playing it for weeks because I got bored.. after I came back The End was dead due to the MGS3 feature that he could be killed due to old age when you don't play it for several days.
Mr. Kikortz that sounds hilarious
@ZMan1471 i tried shooting everywhere while running like crazy. This will reveal my position to him and he starts shooting. Then you could trade gunshots with him when also reveals his position.
@@thatweirdgirl8466 yeah it really was. But I was kind of sad because of the cutscene. Paramedic told me that I did not gave him a good fight before he died. So I played it again then gave him an epic sniper battle.
I killed "The End" When i found him sleeping, i just headshot him and thats instant win
You could also manually change your console time a few days ahead to do the same thing, ;P

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!
I watched a friend play through kh1 a year or so ago. He had never touched the series as a kid, so the final mix for ps4 was his first time with this franchise that practically raised me. During the Leon fight, right as he was about to die, I tried telling him not to worry, it's an optional fight that you aren't supposed to beat, as he finishes off Leon... Guess I am just bad...
To be fair, he also has about 30k hours invested in the demon souls series, so idk what I expected...
With 30k hours in demon souls, you’d think he take out Leon without taking damage.
...you just keep leon at range to force him to throw a fireball, then tennis it back at him. no need to get close up at all.
With so many hours in the souls series he's the embodiment of gitting good
You can tennis his fireballs back at him!?
(Not that it matters I can beat him “normally” but how didn’t I know that?)
One of the greatest moments of catharsis in gaming is starting Sekiro New Game + and going ultra instinct on Genichiro because you’ve fought him so many times before Isshin that you’ve memorized his every move.
it's a very fortunate placement to be both at the beginning and end!
Your first encounter with Gades in Lufia 2. Normally he floors you with successive Destructo Waves. But with some grinding, using certain equipment, and a lot of patience (takes at least 15 minutes), you can whittle his large HP pool. You even win his Sword afterwards (which has arguably the strongest IP attack, Octo-Strike).
That's before he knocks out your party in a post battle cutscene anyways.
Ironic that he is the NEXT boss after that as well, but he's just a regular boss then (with somewhat higher then average HP). And the times you encounter him late game, he's kind of a joke.
I see Jane is still mad at Alistair for dumping her after he became king. 10 years is too soon Alistair. too soon...
No Dragon Age player is over this...

Isn’t Dark Souls a compilation of unwinnable bosses only if you’re good enough?
I mean yeah, but at least you will probably have a weapon that does good damage by the point you get to the boss lol
But even then, they're not unwinnable since they can be beaten.
Nah. Seath the Scaleless literally cheats to automatically kill you the first time you meet him. The others can be defeated.
No it's the game where bad players cry about it and everyone else just says get good cuz it's not hard
Yes!.... and they forgot about bloodborne as well :/
5:00 "and, he has some special moves that can wreck you pretty quickly if you're not prepared, which, at this point in the game, 95% of players won't be"
Outside Gaming accurately predicting that a whole 5% of people playing FromSoft games are in fact challenge/speedrunners.
The Dungeon Guardian in Terraria was programmed to have a special drop after someone spent forever to prove that it can be beat. By the way, in case you have never played Terraria, it has 9,999 health (double that in Expert mode and triple that in Master mode), 9,999 defense, ensuring that you will always do 1 damage (2 with a critical hit), and will always insta-kill you if it successfully hits you.
“Until you’re smashed flat by the Taurus demon!” Has to be one of the most accurate descriptions of wandering into that fight
I thought it would be slow and then it broke into full sprint and I legit screamed
I just lured him away from the ladder, climbed up, and killed him from above a few times. Won on my second try and only lost the first time because of a misplaced dodge.
Till you realize you can just roll between his legs. Then its cake
Taurus wasn't the hard one imo, *HOWEVER* the capra demon on the other hand..
@SlayThat Pussy Either you get slaughtered by the bork bork BEEEG SLASH combo or you get up the stairs and win.
"Heartless have no hearts"

People fall when they trip
@@ishmadjasiir5498 not always
Just because you are correct doesn’t mean your right
That being said, that description isn’t always right. Pureblood Heartless have no hearts, as they are formed from the darkness of a heart that is consumed by darkness. However Emblem Heartless (the ones with the logo that also tend to be the more numerous and diverse enemies) are actually made around a heart. They leach the darkness from it without the heart having to be consumed (and so you can see the hearts flying off when they are killed). Now they don’t feel with those hearts, but they do technically have them in the sense that if I ate a penny, I’d have it until it passed.
Another one is Tales of Zestiria. Early in the game where you gathered your party members, you meet the final boss, you were meant to lose so you'll set off on a journey to be stronger all the while discovering other regions of the land.
But if you're a dodge maniac and have the patience of a saint to slowly chip off the boss' HP, then you basically beat the game and got an ending cut scene, but the ending is bad since you killed the boss, but didn't realize killing the body isn't enough.
Damn my party was already incredibly strong when I faced Ser Cauthrien so I never knew you kinda had to lose. No wonder my win felt kinda bland. I missed out on that whole dungeon bit.
"He wants to kill the kid to claim his immortality powers"
*looks up definition of Immortal*
poisenbery immortal just means you wont die natural causes not that you cant be killed
Typically in them mythos there be multiple uses of "immortality" Some people take the regenerate/immune to death one as "True Immortality" from what I noticed. Usually put on people as a curse so they live a life of unending pain/grief nonsense. The other kind just means if someone/thing doesnt murder you, disease and time cant. Yeehaw.
@Nia Gambino No it doesn't.
The origin of "immortal" is from the Latin root word "immortale". The definition of "immortale" is "immortal, eternal, everlasting, undying, deathless", meaning you cannot die... period. Natural/unnatural causes are irrelevant because once again, you cannot be killed because you cannot die. It is the exact opposite of being "mortal", hence "im-mortal". If you look up the word "immaterial", it means "having no matter or substance". It is the exact opposite of "material", hence "im-material".
Being "immortal" and "invincible" are two completely different things. With invincibility, not only can you not be killed or destroyed, you cannot be defeated or overcome either. You're virtually a god if you're invincible, which it denotes immortality in addition to absolute power.
Poisenbery is correct in his/her summation. If the kid can be killed for his "immorality" powers, then the kid was never immortal to begin with. I never played Devil May Cry 5, so it may simply that the story behind the kid is that he isn't immortal and that anyone that kills him will have "immortality" bestowed upon them like the blood of a virgin or something of that nature.
Unfortunately, today there are many ways to define the word "immortal." Many of them can be killed, not making them truly immortal, but then ... what? That is just the way it is now, I guess. Hahaha
It's true. Immortality means you can't be killed. However, your body can still be dismembered and mutilated. But, still alive. Invincibility and indestructibility mean you can't be dismembered or mutilated, but don't necessarily mean you can't age or die of age.
Protip: You can gank Ser Cauthrien, loot her awesome sword and some of the other bodies, then let the archers finish you off. Then you get to do the prison break for even more loot and XP, and later on you can fight Cauthrien again to nab a second copy of the Summer Sword.
Oh snap, thank you, i had never actually thought of that
You get to keep any loot you nabbed from Cauthrien after her archers kill-sorry apprehend you?
@@kitsu1379 yup
Cauthrien: "My lord, the Warden's companions stole my sword while I was unconscious, can I have another one, please?"
Loghain: "You want an exact copy of the unique, majestically-named, powerful magical greatsword I gifted you?"
Cauthrien: "Yes."
Loghain: "Very well. It is fortunate that I ordered two from the smith."
I feel like in sekiro if you beat the first encounter with Genchiro then instead of him chopping your arm off anyway he retreats, survives, you have two arms creating special much more difficult paths for you to cross which I mean is pretty rough considering the difficulty of the game but I just thought it’d be the perfect from software thing to do
Good luck getting anywhere without that grappling hook!
Everquest’s sleeper dragon deserves a mention, even though its literally impossible for a single person, happened only once, and probably never will happen again....

@@devforfun5618 If I remember right, there was something like an achievement for winning the fight.

The Archers just waited there while their boss had her health slowly whittled away by my main character.

The Kingdom hearts fight with Leon isn't entirely impossible to achieve, patience and knowing when to put some distance between you and him is key, and avoiding his Fire spell when he uses it. But I can defend the ending of the fight easily, Sora is a kid, Leon is a combat expert, obviously Sora is going to be exhausted what with running around, fighting Heartless and then fighting Leon.
I beat Leon on my first playthrough entirely by accident. As I was also playing this with a friend at the time, it made her attempt at Leon even more amusing... because she lost. And I had gotten there first... 😅
We did this through most of the first game, taking turns at the levels (until one of us died then the other took over). I don't recall if there was an boss we both had trouble with. We never finished the game, and I gave up on the final boss (kept running out of items..)
I remember there was a level in Age of Empires age of Kings for the DS where as the French you had to hurry up and take a town before the English reinforcements showed up. The reinforcements were supposed to be unstoppable, but after by funneling them through the starting island and rushing to research the castle you are able to defeat them and then take the town.

The first fight that came to my mind was a duel in an old game called Suikoden. One of the 108 playable characters you could have in your party that was a body guard to the main character sacrifice themselves to duel the main character's father. The fight is suppose to go that you lose, he dies, and the story continues, but you can beat the father and spare the body guard's life in doing so unlocks a hidden end that you need all 108 characters alive to get
ye same here when i heard it from someone but didnt believe it though and actually spend a lot of time lvling to save Pahn ,after i succeded i immediately told my friend ....he told me that i was a liar and that this was an unbeatable battle...20 years ago i still remember his face when i showed to him
One of the many reasons Suikoden is the GOAT. Can’t be bothered to level up your childhood friends? No childhood friends for you!
The older stuff really is more hardcore in what they expect from players. Imagine a secret people only found out years later because some mad lad wanted to figure out what would happen if they WON the supposedly impossible boss fight? Is that good design or bad design? Players should definitely get curious to figure out what the game can do and how they can break core story loops.
The very fact that you put up a spoiler warning even for old games earned a like. I literally beat FF7 for the first time yesterday.

@@bookworm3696 the twist: Heartless are what happens when disembodied hearts (be it through pure negative emotion or through outside influence such as a keyblade or other dark powers) falls to its darkness and assumes physical form. Meanwhile the bodies remain discarded husks named "nobodies" due to the fact that their status as incomplete leaves them without their personality in life, although they can put up a decent fascimile due to retaining their memories of their previous life. If a nobody and their heartless are destroyed (preferably by a keyblade wielder), the original being will be recompleted, though at the same time nobodies CAN generate new hearts if given time and space to experience life. emotions.

"Ever killed a seemingly unkillable boss?"
Pretty sure I'd be fired...and also prison.
Anyway, the answer to your question is...yes.
This reply is absolute gold, why isn’t this top comment? XD
haHAA
😱 this is common patter
You whacked your boss?
This is gold
I love how if you manage to beat the Vanguard Demon in Demon Souls it just gives you an even stronger boss
Another one for that list would be "Liberty", the final boss from Wasteland 3: Shortly after the start, she ambushes you on the world map to intimidate you and abbandon your mission. During the dialogue, you can attack her, wich triggers a ridiculously difficult bossfight. Should you manage it however, the game ends and goes straight to the ending slides, noting how the rangers completed their mission and changed Colorado forever etc.
"Double bastard, extra hard, ARE YOU KiDdInG ME with all these archers."
This is already gold, but that voice crack made it even better, thank you Jane! xD
It feels like most battles in the first dragon age are double Bastard extra hard unless you have fireballs
I was actually unaware I was supposed to lose that fight, so I used a combination of runes to paralyze the whole room, and stabbed everyone. Had to reload so I could experience the dashing rescue of the famous....Broma Brothers.
It took me way too many playthroughs to realise that I could survive losing that fight, I always used to restart from an old save immediately upon death
@@vinylscratch8857 Same except I hid behind the door and fireballed them to death
lol, Jane, that's because you're an underleveled mage! If you were like me, you would have done every side mission leading up to this point with an OCD like determination, and would have been an overleveled, overequipped, warrior tank GOD and gone through that fight without realizing that it was supposed to be hard.
Dark Souls: Thinking the same way I do as a DM.
*Tells players that this is a tough campaign and that direct combat sometimes won't be a good idea*
*Illustrates point by making next encounter be unreasonably large horde of demons*
*Players react by immediately charging in full tilt*
Players: “aight let’s do this. LEEROOOOOOOOOOOY JENKIIIIIIIINSS!!”
Ah a Natural 20
Did they manage to convince the demons to go home?
Same. My opening line was this is like an open world rpg. You will be able to go places that can get you all killed.
Party proceeds to go to the abandoned mine ignoring all the warnings. Decided to mine despite subtle warnings and obvious. When the mine wall moved on it’s own slightly even then they used explosives. Finally I asked do you guys really want to roll new characters. They shrugged, the tarrasque woke up. Party got nommed
Yoo same I have a beholder NPC that I really hope that they don’t try and kill because they get to shoot cannons at it later
In Divinity: Original Sin 2, there are 2 fights you can pick with Dallis the Hammer where you’re not even supposed to fight her. The first outside Fort Joy is meant to be an introductory “cutscene” of sorts, but if avoid it until you’re sufficiently leveled enough, and then pick a fight with her, it’s still hard but becomes winnable, and you get a super strong 2 handed hammer for beating her. The second is on the Lady Vengeance, where the objective is just to kill all her minions and/or survive multiple rounds of combat. But you can actually either jump up to the perch where she is and fight her or teleport her down to you, and again, if you win you get a super strong 1 hand hammer and shield for your effort.
My friend and I have a special way to play that game, which we call Undead Rampage. You pick up no party members, so you can benefit from the Lone Wolf point doubling bonus, both play as undead, and in each region of the game complete as many side quests (that you haven't broken already by your actions in previous regions) as possible before killing every single living thing in the region, aside from children, which the game doesn't let you kill anyway. Also, loot every single object in order to sell to merchants, whom you will later pickpocket before killing to recoup the most valuable items to bring to the next area to sell again. In every encounter with Dallis before the one where you're actually supposed to kill her, we wiped the floor with her, and then were very disappointed that narrative causality negated our victories. That aside, the end of the game is pretty entertaining when all of the other characters that could have been party members are vengeful undead because you've killed them at least twice (on the prison ship, and then again on the island) but the final boss fight is surprisingly difficult even with two massively OP liches. It's just a huge disadvantage to only get two turns worth of doing stuff in between all of the various enemies' turns, regardless of how strong you are, and how many options you have.
Funny that on my first playthrough of KH1 I defeated Leon thinking that was supposed to happen. I did notice the difficulty spike but just assumed it was that he was a boss to beat. Cloud on the other hand destroyed me and I thought I was supposed to lose to that fight until I found out through another playthrough that he can be beat too.
Same, instead of running past all the Heartless in traverse town, I actually stayed behind and killed them all. Then I got lost, and had to beat the heartless again. By the time I found Leon, I had leveled up so much that I was able to tank multiple hits from him as I got him trapped in a corner and just wailed on him.
Technically speaking you are supposed to lose to cloud, but yes you can beat him
LMAO... ironically I never lost to either to Leon or Cloud in my first encounter (or second either), but I did lose my first encounter to Yuffie (on the isle). I say ironic because I beat her in the coliseum.
18:40 - "Fine. we give up. take some infinite bullets and do whatever. Game is too easy at this point"
Would’ve been hilarious if the more times you killed nemesis, it would be more afraid of you up to the point where instead of fighting it as the final boss, the nemesis just takes one look at you and runs away, leaving some other oblivious guy to fight you instead.
@@Skillshot360s truuuueeeeee
The Sleeper Dragon in the MMO Everquest 1. A Prismatic godly dragon who could only be awakened once per server. This would trigger a story event in which he would rampage the world (the original Deathwing really) until being told by The Nameless (IE God) that he was too powerful and the server story would progress. Suffice to say he had an insane healthpool and was full of a bunch of insta-kills and was never intended to be beaten. But if there is one thing more determined than a gamer to beat the devs , its hundreds of gamers ready to kamikaze themselves back to level one in order to prove a point. Nearly a day of fighting and millions of negative experience points later, The Sleeper was dead. No loot, no death animation, the entire server technically story locked; but that was Triumph.
i salute those brave souls!
so rare to see some one talk about everquest online. my respect to you brother/sister
Also worth noting that the Sleeper was immune to all magic except Mana Burn from wizards (and possibly life burn from necromancers, can't recall) and that could only be used once every 8 real time hours, so it isn't even worth it. And all but 2 classes relied, at least in part, on said magic for damage. 250+ players from three different guilds on one of the more brutal PvP servers ever, where you could kill anyone and loot their body of an item teamed up twice for this feat. The first time SoE despawned the boss after 6 hours of fighting and lied saying it was automatically done due to respawns. Undaunted after people proved SoE to be full of it they went back at it the next day. Truly a feat to remember.
Came here to say this. I've also heard that the Sleeper had three million units of health and could one-hit kill multiple players in one swoop.
Kerafyrm! GOD yes! Damn I miss EQ...
A couple boss fights on the much-maligned second disc of Xenogears fall squarely into this category. **SPOILERS**
The boss fight against the nanomachine hybrid Hammer can be ended midway through the fight if you want. However, if you budgeted your gears' fuel and and built up Level Infinity attacks, you can beat him before he self-destructs and nukes everyone. Doing this gets you an absolutely insane treasure item called the Trader Card that helps you get hidden treasures from enemies for the rest of the game.
The other is Alpha Weltall, which is insanely tough, but can also be beaten if you can survive his absurd attacks. You don't have to beat him to proceed in the story, but he also drops an amazing piece of gear for beating him.
I havent watched this channel in years, now i came back to this video specifically after i beat urizen in dmc 5
Man, I hate Cutscene Imcompetence imposed upon players because of 'story' reasons. Bloody Kai Leng...
Sekiro should have pulled a Far Cry 4/Tales of Destiny/DMC5 and just ended the game there.
Or let you play without the prosthetic.
@@NotAVeryGoodNickname As a secret hard mode?
Perhaps an alternate power mode like having a parry dagger with powers.

"Until you meet the Taurus Demon..." Eh. At least you don't get punched into the ground by a dragon.
God, that Dragon was hench
That was a buff dragon
That was a true unkillable boss right there.
I killed him in one hit watchu on
I forgot that you were supposed to lose to Leon in Kingdom Hearts. I LOVED that games combat system and played through it several times. I only lost to him the first time I played. Man, watching that makes me want to play through those games again.
I personally like the one in infinity blade. It begins with the final boss and it is technically winnable
Urizen: Getting sliced because he underestimated the main protagonist
Also Urizen: Doesn't use 100% of his power to avoid dying
'Janes a terrifying demon'
Well yeah but what character does she play?
You deserve more likes
An example I remember was in Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2. During the story mode, which retold the events of the show, there would be fights where your goal was just to survive for a set amount of time rather than win, letting your character run away. But if you did manage to beat the much harder battles, you'd then unlock a whole What If side story. Like Raditz getting amnesia from his fight with Piccolo or Zarbon going rouge in a domino effect of Dodoria's early death.
Fun list video! Thanks for uploading!
"The Asylum Demon is still a tough fight."
Brah, if you choose black firebombs, you can literally stand in one place and kill him before he gets to swing. o.o
butttttt I really really want to have the master key and not play as a thief
@@alexbrown7015 just use fists you dont even need firebombs lol
You want to use the master key? So you want to play dark souls on easy mode?
@@alexcramer2878 I really only use the Master Key so that I don't have to deal with the Depths at a low level, by the time I'm done with Blighttown, I go to the Depths and fuck everything there
Just like with phase2 of gundyr at start of ds3
Fun fact about the Asylum Demon: the broken sword actually does less damage than bare fists. If you do attempt the fight, you're better off putting it in your left hand (since it can block *some* damage) and punching the Demon into submission.
why in the fuck would you need to block the ass demon. he has like a 10 year windup on his swings
In that case just throw the damn thing away and dodge.
In lufia 2 on the SNES you have an early fight with one of the end bosses, Gades, which you can defeat with prefarming a lot and gathering expensive bombs and potions. Rewards you with his sword, one of your teammates BIS for nearly the rest of the game.
The trick to defeating Leon is to get behind him. I still remember the frustration when I finally beat the guy and then still got taken down in a cutscene. I really did hate to lose...
"Ever killed a seemingly unbeatable boss?"

I still remember beating Leon in Kingdom Hearts as a kid and no one believed me cause they said it was in the story to lose... who's laughing now
Edit: I was about 6-7 at the time and my older brother and dad both finished the game and said it was impossible to beat Leon
I beat him more then once but ya it's hard.
Yes you were in the chess club
When you reached lvl 99 before leaving the island 😉
@@austinlee321 hmmm good thought but it will take a week at lest you'll be prepared.

What about the dungeon guardian in Terraria?
He has 9999 health, and no matter what weapon you have, you deal 1 damage per hit.
Me and my friends beated them it took a while but its possible and if you beat them you get a key that allows you to summon a guardian but the guardian you summon cant fight tho im not sure if the key drop is 100 percent
The dungeon guardian drops the bone key which summons a dungeon guardian pet that's all just bragging rights
Is it that bone guy?
No, cause i beated him alone twice
Mini shark with crystal bullets with an arena with teleporters.
I love how whenever there is a video called unfair bosses there is always 1-2 fromsoftware games
What about snatcher from a hat in time? He just takes your hat at the beginning of the boss fight so you can't change your hat and he doesn't turn vulnerable in the first phase until you yeet his own blue potion. Bewarned you will enter the second and annoying phase but its ex + version is super hard.
The actual unbeatable boss is Black Desert's ad on every platform.

I love the secret ending you can get from DMC 5, it literally the game telling you "congrats, you won. No more game for you, b*tch."
True, it literally is like "Well you won, not sure how long and how the hell you did it but uh. Congratulations?"
What about the Midgar Zolom from Final Fantasy VII? Takes a lot of healing from Aeris or a lot of Phoenix Downs, but it's possible to beat it when you first encounter it.
I love getting flashbanged by the background of the studio ❤️

These are my favorite kinds of boss fights. The ones you're supposed to lose at, but the developers make them killable.
It's also even more hilarious when the game ends and the credits roll afterwards.
I wonder which is better... A. Credits instantly roll with barely so much as a "they lived happily ever after" B. A deep thought out cutscene on par with the actual ending or C. A quick joke cutscene that talks about how quickly you defeated that ancient evil.

When I first bought Sekiro, which was actually towards the end of 2020 (yes, that's right, I dodged spoilers for more than one year), I was soo fascinated by the complexity but at the same time beauty of the fights (I see them kinda like a dance, in fact, if you're skilled enough you can be fully in control of the movements of the enemy and be the one directing the fight). Genichiro is a wall that makes the gamer feel powerless at first but also realize that he's not completely undefeatable and that you just need practice, like for all things in life. On my first run I lost and felt crushed but also, as I already said, had this feeling like "I can beat him", so I continued the game until I paused right before the end for various months. After I opened it again, deleted the run I didn't complete and started again. I will never forget the feeling of excitement I had during the fight as I was regaining my skills and remembering how to play until I defeated him. In that moment you have no gadget or power up so the fight is also very long and (to me) looks even more beautiful, with the sound of the swords clashing with each other and the two characters moving in that field full of flowers, brightened just by the weak light of the moon exchanging blows until one of them loses... What a beautiful game...
just wanted to agree with you about fights in sekiro. i bought it full price on release because i was a big big fan of Ds3 and compared to that sekiro is incredible. it was during my first run vs lady butterfly that the game clicked for me. endless parrying from both parties, the beauty of the weapons clashing. i also ended up doing the same thing as you, revisiting the game a year or so later and trying and succeeding in beating genichiro. i also have to agree that the first fight vs him is one of the best in the game. you have no special arts, you have no way to punish his perilous attacks, it’s just your sword vs his and it’s beautiful.
THERE WAS A WHACKY JAIL BREAK IN DRAGON AGE

I told EVERYONE about me beating leon in kh1 at the start and everyone said it was impossible!
This filled me with so much joy!
Congrats mate, i got destroyed
He is actually pretty easy because you can throw his fireball back and stun him
I know how you feel. It was amazing beating him. :3
I wasn't sure that the LEON fight should be on there. I always thought he was kind of a pushover. Easily exploited attack openings and telegraphed attacks make him kind of a cake walk. He just hits kind of hard, so you need to block and move a lot more than before. Then again, considering the only fight you've had up to that point is a few shadows and the series joke that is Darkside... yeah, I guess he'd be hard to new players.
Not bragging here, I legit didn't know he was supposed to be an 'impossible' boss, just a little tricky for the early game.
Sephiroth. 1.5 remix. Sorry to tell you this but if you had a hard time with Leon you have no chance against this monster of a man
