Who is the hardest video game boss?

Answer 1

Here's my top ten:

10: The Shadow Queen (Paper Mario: TTYD)

Length of Battle: Long

# of different attacks: High

Annoyingness: Low

She's on this mainly due to the fact that her AND her hands attack you, and she has high HP.

9: Omega (Final Fantasy 5)

Length of Battle: Very Short

# of attacks: A lot

Annoyingness: Very High

This thing can remove party members from battle PERMANENTLY (until the battle ends) and has wicked powerful other moves. Too bad you can kill it in one hit.

8: The Biolizard (Sonic Adventure 2)

Length of Battle: Medium

Variety of attacks: A lot of difficult-to-dodge attacks

Annoyingness: High

The final few attacks this thing uses are obscene, especially the final attack. You can't get back any rings you drop when floating in the air, so two hits from the floating eggs, and you're screwed.

7: Bouldergeist (Prankster Comet, Super Mario Galaxy)

Length of Battle: Short

Variety of attacks: Quite a few once it gets hands

Annoyingness: High

You only have ONE HP to kill this thing. And its flying rocks home in on you. Talk about a disadvantage.

6: Elite Four (Pokemon Emerald)

JUST BEAR WITH ME. I found the Elite Four hard on the first playthrough, so please, don't go complaining about how you find them to be easy.

Length of battle: Drake and Wallace take a while to defeat

Variety of attacks: Each member of the Elite Four has a crapload of different Pokemon

Annoyingness: Starts Low, getting progressively harder.

Drake's dragons all have high stats (especially Salamence) and Wallace just has powerful Pokemon like Gyarados and Milotic that take a while to beat.

5: Weldar (Banjo-Tooie)

Length of Battle: Short

Variety of attacks: A few

Annoyingness: High

After it loses 3 HP, the floor becomes electrical, so you have to focus on doging its fiery blasts, AND the floor! Trust me, that's harder than it sounds.

4: King K. Rool (Donkey Kong 64)

Length of Battle: VERY long

Variety of Attacks: Has five different phases, so has many attacks.

Annoyingness: High

If you lose to K. Rool once, you have to restart the whole match from DK!

3: Culex (Super Mario RPG)

Length of Battle: Long

Variety of attacks: Huge amount of magic

Annoyingness: Medium

This thing's magic is a killer. It has attacks like Corona and Dark Star for killing you, and that Wind Crystal can turn you into Mushrooms! And you have to kill everything on the screen, too.

2: Cackletta (Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga)

Length of Battle: Very Long

Variety of attacks: Insane variety of attacks, gets more powerful attacks as it loses HP. All attacks are hard to dodge.

Annoyingness: Very High

This thing has a ton of HP and cheap attacks. Heal when necessary and PAY ATTENTION to Cackletta so you can dodge her!

1: The HAG 1 (Banjo-Tooie)

Length of Battle: VERY long

Variety of attacks: A large amount of attacks. Speed of Grunty's spells is lower if you get a question correct, but is always fast in the final stage of the battle.

Annoyingness: VERY High, mainly due to the fact that her spells become very hard to dodge later in the battle.

This thing has immense HP, a huge variety of attacks, and what do you have? a few honeycombs worth of life, and maybe cheats. Without cheats, this is probably the most frustrating thing I have ever faced. Especially in Replay Mode… no cheats and only 5 honeycombs!!! This thing isn't THAT hard with good dodging, but beating it in replay mode could take a LONG time, hence why it's #1.
