- An eggplant! A water pistol! Poor spatial awareness! Some terrifying foes have an achilles heel so bizarre that most people would never think to try it in the first place - and the ones who did can’t believe it actually worked. Watch on for seven bosses with a weird weakness you ruthlessly exploited and subscribe for a video like this every week on the channel.

A man on fire who is no longer on fire is just a miserable little pile of secrets.
But enough talk, HAVE AT YOU
Nice!
You win!
Perhaps the same can be said of all exploited weaknesses.
But what is a man on fire but a miserable burning pile of ashen secrets??
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest had a funny one: If your main character cast Cure on the end-of-game boss, it would heal him so much that it would buffer overflow to a huge negative number and take off about 90% of his health.
heh, some final Fantasy game have bosses that are undead by default and can be healed to death as intentional character design. :p
@@marhawkman303 Yep. With at least one of them isn't it impossible to beat them without using healing?
@@marhawkman303 I learned that against Gi Nattak. That's why I thought the end boss of FFMQ was undead too, but no - just poorly playtested 😁
@@marhawkman303 I know in FF7, there's a boss in Cosmo Canyon where if you give them either an elixer or phoenix down, you turn a ghost into a living creature again and can then do damage to it. Interesting twist!
In Final Fantasy VI the spell Vanish makes a character un-hittable with physical attacks, but always hit with magic. Doom, on the other hand, will instantly kill someone, but has a very low hit chance. Combined…
FINALLY. The eggplant/water drop mystery has been laid to rest.
Doin' the Lord's work Mike.
I texted a girl explaining what I love about Spelunky, and she blocked. Can't imagine why
Doesn't explain the eggplant volcano combo
@@kiriuxeosa8716 That was a licensed property of Disney ™, I believe.
@@bustinarant Eggplant Volcano was Thanos' nickname in college. So I guess you're right, now that Disney owns Marvel.
No matter the meaning of the message, its author probably wants to explore a cave.
If you want more MGS3 shenanigans, you can quite literally get The Fear to repeatedly eat expired food to beat them
I did that so many times with him. He starts to cuss you out. It's very funny to watch.
Ever since I found about that I _only_ fight him that way.
@@crummymonk4917 we'd be friends irl
Good to know
The "literally" seems like a superfluous qualifier there, how would one _metaphorically_ get The Fear to eat expired food?
The best thing about Radahn (from what I remember reading in the wiki) is that he loves his horse so much that he learned magic to allow Leonard to still be able to carry him despite his size.
Couldn't have just kept him in a really nice stable & taken him for walkies like a chihuahua? It's pretty clearly still a struggle to carry him
@@SeraphimCramer I'd have to read the wiki again but I'm pretty sure they've been together forever and he wanted Leonard to remain by his side (his under side obviously) and keep him company despite it all, rather than getting rid of him and finding a bigger/stronger horse
@@stone5against1 Yep. He even actively pushes Leonard out of harms way within the animations for some of his attacks.
@@SeraphimCramer Also, does Radahn sound like the sort of guy stable enough to have a stable where he could safely keep a horse?
He also can't swim.
How about Volgin from Metal Gear Solid 3? He's afraid of frogs, glowing mushrooms will absorb his electric attacks, and you can make him mistake you for his lover, even if you put on the disguise right in front of him.
Also for a dude that literally conducts and controls electricity, surprisingly susceptible to getting struck by lightning. What a scrub lol
I never knew about the glowing mushrooms trick, that's neat I'm about to go try that.
Sounds like a great candidate😂
Litterally went to check the last vid to make sure he wasn't mentioned, then was going to comment that here 😅 I mean... he is TECHNICALLY in this video too, but from a different game and with yet another super strange weakness 😅
I still play Snake Eater from time to time, never know Volgin is afraid of frogs and glowing mushroom can absorb his attack, guess I'll try this trick next time I play the game again
Fun fact: the reason for Maz Koshia being distracted by bananas during phase 1 is because for phase 1 he is programmed using the code for the Yiga clan members who are all obsessed with bananas. Whenever you fight a yiga clan member, if you drop some bananas they will drop what they're doing and zero in on them.
I was wrong. It is just an easter egg stemming from how the Yiga clan used to be Shrikah, and so Sheikahs are also into bananas.
I mean, given he uses several techniques specifically used by the Yiga, it does make some sense.
@@MrShukaku1991 Yeah. Pretty sure the reason they had him use the Yiga techniques was because of how Yiga were originally Sheikah and so they would share techniques.
It also makes sense from a meta standpoint, because it's a longstanding tradition in Zelda games to make the final/hardest boss fight have a silly weakness that just destroys them.
OoT Ganondorf always losing the energy ball Dead Man's Volley when reflected by an empty bottle, OoT Beast Ganon being destroyed by Deku Nuts, Twilight Princess Ganondorf being distracted by the fishing rod, Demise in Skyward Sword getting distracted and crushed by the Bug Net, and so much more.
Hey@@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor , do you think this technically means that a large majority of the Sheika have an addictive love of bananas and would that mean if BotW still got updates there'd be a hilarious Easter Egg where at least a quarter of the Sheika you encounter (other than the Yiga) would reward/praise you if you give them bananas?
@@dextreme7186 I could see easter eggs like some of them carrying bananas but not the stuff of giving them bananas for a reward
The banana thing is a callback to the Yiga Clan since they defected from the Sheikah where they probably got their banana obsession.
Right. The Sages are from pre-schism Shiekah society, so the love of bananas was still present.
@@benjaminoechsli1941 I do love a good schism.
Potassium triumphs again!
@ferd617 The split of the Sheikah and Yiga tribes after Hyrule pushed out the Sheikah who still used the Ancient Ways/Technology after the fight with Calamity Ganon.
The Kingdom feared the Sheikah and their technology. Some decided to take up simple means of living like farming, but some still actively showed resentment towards the Kingdom and pledged allegiance towards Ganon.
I wish it wasn't so black and white though. Like, have some tribe defect from the Sheikah for that but not be Ganon's minions/allies. And then have some that simply went into hiding.
In Radahn’s defence, he has been being eaten from the inside out by an elder god’s fungus infection
It's less of a weird weakness and more of an oversight, but at one point in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, you gain an ability that allows you to reverse your gravity and stand on the ceiling. However, most boss fights aren't designed to factor this in, so you can absolutely trivialise some of them by just standing on the ceiling where they can't reliably hit you and firing off ranged attacks.
~Oh, what a feelin', when we're cheesing on the ceiling~
iirc this is especially useful against Valefar. Have the Aegis Plate equipped, Invert, and you can whack his head pretty easily while only a few of his attacks can reach you.
Man, when Mike went to eat the snack I honestly expected Ellen to suddenly appear and be like, "Guess what game boss I'm going to talk about now?"
It would've been very much Outsidexbox. 🙂
If I was a boss, bananas would not tempt me, and a squirt gun would only annoy me more. Distract me with an adorable kitten, though... I think that would work.
In the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, during the final duel with Ganondorf, if you pull out your fishing rod the King of Evil will get distracted and stare at it giving you the opportunity to get a few cheap shots in. I guess living in a desert he hasn't seen one before and is curious what it is?
Pretty sure this was mentioned in the previous video about this
I love doing that to him. It's so funny!
Hey, someone swings a fishing rod around when you're fighting them and you'll be staring at it too, wondering what the hell they're gonna do to you.
In the original Link’s Awakening, the Boomerang can one shot DethI’s final form
The final boss of Mother 3 can be beaten by casting a certain sequence of spells: because each spell is accompanied by a particular tone, you have to play a song.
When I saw Elden Ring, I figured you would mention the Royal Revenants - you can poise break them by using a healing spell, which turns a pretty terrifying enemy into an absolute cakewalk.
Same! While I was co-oping with a friend, heading to Carian Manor, we encountered the revenant in the nearby ruins and he mentioned their weakness to healing spells. I popped off to Roundtable to learn Heal from Brother Cohryn (pretty sure I spelled that wrong), which takes a measly 12 Faith to use, and back we went to the ruins.
Where the revenant went down in two “hits” of healing.
Neither of us expected it to be THAT effective and we just sat there for a second, speechless.
To be fair, there's so many bosses in various games across the decades that you can beat by healing/reviving them. It's not unique to this boss.
There's also the one guy(deep into the game) who summons two helpers and you can use the charm effect to turn them against their creator.
Me: *struggles with radahn several times before managing to kill him the intended way*
Several Months Later: "Oh yea, you can totally make him drown if you stand on the shore of the map"
Me: *internal screaming intensifies*
I always found it funny that you could 1-shot the Phantom Train in FF VI by using a phoenix down on them, because reviving an undead enemy is the same as using Doom on a living one
No thanks, I think I'll stick to Suplexing the train instead
And in FF X, there’s a fight where you have to turn *your own party members* into zombies to survive the boss’s instant death spells.
Lots of Final Fantasy games have a boss you can beat either by healing or reviving them
Just like the Gerogero (fake president Deling second form) in FF8. I didn't think of it during the first playthrough, so it was really comedic to see the boss die instantly during subsequent playthroughs.
@@nightmarethrenody8232 can't forget the final boss fight against an undead/zombie and using a good ol megalixir
Ah yes Star Scourge Radahn.
Has gravity magic and the ability to fight against celestial bodies.
Drowns in a puddle.
Are we sure he's not a One Piece character...
Weak to gravity, lmao
So he ate the press press fruit?
Considering how long one piece is I wouldn't be surprised
No, he's Bruce Willis in a Shyamalan movie
The arm that Stan Gimble uses isn't a fake arm, it's a real one. Floppy and rubbery, yes, but fake? No siree. He holds it by the exposed bone like the handle of a sword, and the player can take it as their own weapon after the fight.
Yep! And you can even give it to a secret character for some cash!
Man, that Capra Demon was such a pain. The dogs and the small arena gave me fits to the point that I'm pretty sure the developers meant for you to do it this way.
The quick way to do it (without throwing faeces) is to actually rush down and slay the dogs ASAP. After the dogs are dead, the demon is easy due to how obvious and slow his attacks are. The way the developers intended the players to win the fight is probably by running up the stairs, draw away the dogs kill them up there, then kill the capra demon.
Firebombs over the wall are quicker. Just saying
@@sambakich7494 And also practical if you don't want to cheese the actual demon but just get rid of a dog or two.
@@perlundgren7797 as luck would have it, the only thing that died when I did it was the Capra demon. As soon as he died the dogs ran out and killed me.
@@sambakich7494 that is perfectly stupid in the best way
I do love the way Radhan goes full Thanos at half health, except instead of throwing a moon at you from the heavens, he simply throws himself.
TFS Nappa: He yeeted himself...
Also in MGSV, you can beat Quiet by dropping heavy objects on her like a cartoon character
That was in the first video
You can do that to anyone who'll stay still long enough
Speaking of Legend of Zelda bosses with wierd weaknesses: There was that time I absolutely crushed Dark Link at the end of LoZ 2 with the awesome power of: "Standing on the left side of the screen!"
There is an better weaknesses to exploit in Vampire the masquerade bloodlines. When a boss is a human you can just walk right up to them and drink their blood, they cant fight back and you get a nice meal in the process.
This*
this reminds me of an old video that talked about annoying "forced stealth missions".
there's one mission in Vampire the masquerade where you have to get through a building full of armed guards WITHOUT KILLING ANY OF THEM.
it's extremely frustrating UNLESS your character knows the "seduction" ability, then you can use that to incapacitate the guards without killing them.
@@ericb3157 If you’re talking about the museum, how did you make the seduction work? I always just have to stealth my way through and take a few tries to turn off the cameras without being detected
@@willieoelkers5568 oh, i never actually played it, but i think you need to be a specific "bloodline" for it to work.
@@ericb3157 Oh, I see. Yeah, there’s a few stun effects that are very good for sneaking
In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the PS2, you’re put up against Malfoy in a duel to practice your Expelliarmus spell, however I found that you can utterly break the fight by bouncing the ball back at Malfoy, then hitting him with Diffindo, which travels instantly to where you cast it, and stunlock him so he can’t repel the ball.
In Elden Ring, I killed the Ulcerated Tree Spirit at the Haligtree by standing on top of the branches beyond the reach of the boss and sniping him with arrows until he died. The Ulcerated Tree Spirit cannot reach beyond a certain distance of the branches that leads to the boss arena, but your arrows can :P
in Lobotomy corporation the red mist can be defeated by sending an employee to a bomb shelter. Long story short, the shelter will make other monsters in the facility escape and attack anything, including the red mist. Sure you will basically be sending the rest of your employees to die but at least you doin't have to do anything to beat a boss fight.
That exploit still works to this day?
Edit: no nevermind i read this wrong, i mistaken it to having her getting stuck on a door
My mom and I didn't go against Ganon until after almost 2,000 hours of playing because we were too busy exploring. (Yes we did defeat all the shrines and the ancient beasts) 😂😂
I still love how, in Wild Arms 3 the Kraken (who's living in a well in a desert town) is weak against water of all things.
That is definitely not something I'd ever try. 🧠
Wow, genuinely hadn't heard about that Radahn cheese, I'll have to give that one a go on the next playthrough
I think they might've patched that. I stood on the shore for about 30 seconds when he went to meteor form and he only appeared as his meteor form when I moved far enough inland.
I like Gimble's dialogue when playing as a Malkavian.
I like all dialogue when playing as a Malkavian.
Lifeforce (arcade version), the Intruder boss (burning lizard). You can basically make it curl around itself like a circle and just sit in the middle making slight adjustments and holding down the fire button until it dies.
If I had spent thousands of years as a mummy I'd be pretty keen for a tasty snack too.
5:12 I'm so glad you featured footage of that Stylish.
Anyway, fun video! Thanks for uploading!
ULTRAKILL has a funny little one, the hideous mass boss can be instantly killed by a bar of soap you can find on top of a roof
Clearly the enemies in that game are Gamers™ who don't have time to bathe. 🤢
@@benjaminoechsli1941 the addition of these mountain dew™ gamers™ was obviously for relatability. As I am suffering from literal actual in fact liver failure™
my weakness is whenever the professor assigns homework
Someone contact Professor Snape for this guy
Same, I start burning into ash whenever I get homework
Oh man, you just reminded me ive got so much homework do today... is there an easy way to defeat homework? Like... bananas?
Honestly i just think it's hilarious to say "hardest boss in breath of the wild"
..the regular 4 bosses are easier than a rat in a souls game hahaha..with elementary school use of your gadget mechanics to injure them
3:48 As a Swiss I was so outraged by this statement until I noticed that you were referring to our literal red flags. 🙊😂
The fact you can huck literal crap at the Capra demon over a wall (!) is the highlight of my day
I had no idea babaganoush was made of eggplant, now I learned something about a dish I like in the last place I expected.
Cobra on the Spectrum (yeah, I'm old!) was a difficult game, with the final boss being a rock hard fight against a fast, well armed foe.... Unless you picked up the 'invincibilty pill' last, in which case you can just walk up to him, do one head-but, and it's game over! Just remember to do the head-but, if you walk through him to kill him, the game won't recognise the kill and will run on forever.
The boss: Hooktail
The TH-cam I-card: “video game villains based on real people”
Forgot about lechuck’s weakness to root beer. Thought Andy as the resident monkey island fanatic would be all over this
Oh god, I gotta use that cheese against Radahn on my current Elden Ring run xD
Mike shouting "SO CONVENIENT!" in the background is the kind of marketing technique that should be on all manuals from now on. Effective, simple and compelling!
I feel like they're churning out all their present backlog so they have a clear upload schedule for spooktober
always interesting to see the ways people come up with to cheese bosses, i like the one from Elden Ring the most
Did they remove the old cheese of him stumbling off the cliff? I tried it on my second play through just to see if it worked but haven't played in months. At least this way you have to half kill him.
Fake arm? I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be Gimble's actual arm! Note the claw prosthetic thing he has where that arm used to be.
Baldr from Devil Survivor on the DS /3DS. You kill him, the Norse God of Light and self proclaimed invincible demon with a cellphone phone charm.
Dung Pie reminds me of the guy you meet in the "A Bird in a Cage" mission in Nioh 2 who is extremely hungry and you can give dung balls, noble dung balls, or elixirs... and if you feed him enough he'll give you a lumicite fragment.
As much as it may be a "weakness" for him, the water pistol is a really slow way to beat the Man On Fire. Luring him under a water tower and blowing up the supports, knocking him into a shallow pool with a shotgun, or just getting into a jeep and ramming him off the cliff much easier ways to get rid of him.
I do like the "OOF" noise he makes when you squirt him, though.
In Okami, Crimson Helm normally hits you a bunch while charging really fast all over the place, making it hard to hit him. However, you can just run up to him and use a bunch of small Exorcism Slips and just defeat him in seconds.
I just fought this boss not too long ago
Lemme go start a new save file
Nice touch to use Stanley Gimble's Doppelganger as the presenter of the Stabley Gimble's section.
If you EVER put eggplant into my pasta sauce we’re going to have a problem.
Beating Ness' Nightmare with Flash in Earthbound will always be a little weird and funny. Then again you can beat the King Statue in Mother 3 using the same strat. These bosses are quite hard, otherwise.
And speaking of Earthbound, let’s not forget one particularly nasty boss:
Belch, the living pile of puke!
Needless to say, he was a massive challenge… unless you exploited his own weakness: his love of fly honey.
Yayyyyyy the video I waited not so long for :)
I don't know that this counts as a weakness because this is clearly what's intended, but in Lenna's Inception, there's a hidden pistol with a single bullet that you can find after completing the game's final dungeon and backtracking to the others using its power. You can quite literally one-shot the final boss with it.
The yiga clan were once Shiekah, and they absolutely love bananas to the point of always carrying at least one with them. The monks are Shiekah, so one of them loving bananas actually tracks with the established lore.
Fallout 4: All synths have recall codes. This includes the very first Courser you have to fight at Greenetech Genetics because you need his brain for the molecular relay. If you manage to find out his recall code and recite it to him, you circumvent a pretty tough fight.
What. FML.
I thought the MGSV boss was going to be Quiet and her allergy to supply drops to the face
pretty sure they did her the first time
i can say i never knew about maz koshia having that vulnerability to bananas, he was a very tough fight and i can say, i beat him without using that weakness (and now that i know of it, beating him without using it makes it more satisfying)
Diablo 2’s very first boss Andariel, a demon born of the fires of hell, her greatest fear and weakness.....is fire.....
15:08 I just noticed all of the clones got stunned as soon as he saw a banana.
General Raam in GOW UE can still be bugged out to stick to a box in the final fight, even 16 years later lol
That Spelunky Eggplant thing is a *really deep cut* reference that I hella enjoy.
"More red flags than a Switzerland home game." Absolutely sent me. I live there now and I appreciate good Switzerland joke.
At the end of Just Cause 3 when you're fighting Di Ravello in a volcano, you can just tether his helicopter to the ground and make him crash into the lava. You can end the fight instantly with the weapon you've had the entire game
Ha the line about ds2 and the dung pies was classic. Nice job my man or whoever wrote it u got a laugh outta me on that one
In Blue Dragon. There's a Water Dragon boss battle where the key strategy to surviving the ultimate tsunami attack is by turning your party into the mushroom monsters called Kelolons.
Since the link didn't take me to the other video about bosses with weird weaknesses, I will suggest one that did appear on a previous list (but because you, Andy, specifically said "preferably none that were on THIS list", I'm free to use this): the fishing rod in Twilight Princess. Maybe this will teach you to use the right link.
Hmm, maybe wrong links are the weird weakness of Outsidexbox.
One problem with this: He doesn't say that. He specifically says, "Don't put ones that were in the previous list", in fact. (Exact words. 15:50)
@@ferd617 yeah, but he followed that up with “check back here” and points to not the previous video. I checked that video, it didn’t mention the fishing rod, so I put it here.
If he didn’t plug the wrong video, you’d have a valid point. But since he did, I can be an ass and get away with it.
I wonder if Eggplant Yamma is a reference to Kid Icarus, where Eggplant Wizard would turn Pit into an Eggplant?
Almost certainly, seeing as getting turned into an eggplant in the original Kid Icarus is basically a death sentence.
Perfectly explains why people slap me when I use the eggplant and water drop emojis together. They've never played Spelunky.
In Pokémon Platinum:
Giratina; Lord of antimatter and the Pokémon underworld who has transported you to its realm and now threatens the world’s end.
Its weakness: masterball
One of the classic weird weaknesses would be Minecraft’s final boss, the Ender Dragon Jean. The best way to kill her is with beds. Seriously.
For anyone who isn’t somehow aware, beds explode in the nether and end dimension, with more strength than a block of tnt. Beds instantly explode on a right click, and if you position yourself and the bed just right, you can deal massive damage while taking almost none of your own. This one of the many reason why the game can be beaten in 10 minutes.
Also, although Blazes aren’t bosses, they can be very annoying to fight at times. Thankfully, they’re made almost exclusively if fire, so you can bring snowballs and throw them to deal damage. It’s not super efficient, you can carry more arrows than snowballs and using a bow and arrow deals more damage, but the option is there.
Maz Koshia : incredibly powerful monk that can clone, call down lighting, teleport, move super fast, shoot lasers, turn giant etc…
Link : Hey, want a banana ?
Thank you for the video.
The Fear from Metal Gear Solid 3. If you toss spoiled food ok the ground he will hoover it up and get sick leaving him open for attacks.
Also The Sorrow fight as long as you didn't kill anyone that fight is a brisk walk through waist high water with no threats to speak of.
Yay, more Boss Oxploits!
I would add the thirst zapper from the Colter boss fight in Fallout 4 Nuka World. You have to use the squirt gun to short out his power armour before you can really actually start hurting him
I remember in Paper Mario Origami King and cheesing the scissor boss (who can one-shot you) by using freeze every other turn to make sure he couldn’t attack and then hitting the on switch to activate the ability to freeze and attacking him and then repeating.
How about in Metal Fear Solid 4. You can 1 shot Vamp with the solar gun
Idk if you mentioned this, but the General has another weakness incase you don’t feel like dragging him all the way to the water. Ironically, though he is already infected, he is weak to scarlet rot.
Speeds up the process, I guess. 💀
About the Maz Koshia fight, the Shekiah tribe's close realitives, the Yiga Clan have a similar weakness! If you drop bananas next to a Yiga Blademaster they can't help but to snack on those bananas! It's the same with all the Yiga clan members! Give them bananas, and they will eat them all up!
Huh. Never thought me saying "I throw shit at my problems" would be so literal...
😮
That "An On-fire man?" bit felt less like Mike calling the joke and more like Mike purposely stopping Andy from giving up spoilers lol
10000 years and maz love for bananas hasn't passed. damn.
The dung pie is quite a broken item. It works on tons of enemies, notably Havel, and a number of other actual bosses as well. The poison arrows are similarly broken, they can be used to poison enemies even if they are out of the maximum range of your bow, as long as the arrow hits, it will accumulate poison, and most enemies will not even react to being hit with them if they cause no damage due to being out of range.
Another example from Dark Souls is that you can easily defeat Gwyn the game's final boss by repeatedly parrying his attacks.
I couldn't parry if my life depended on it, I cheesed that fight even harder by using the longest spear I could find and abusing the combination of Gwyn not pathing around the physical obstructions in his own arena, and the fact that you can stab through said solid obstructions.
Andy is already in his sweater phase
Speaking of water guns, what about Overboss Coulter in Fallout 4’s dlc Nukaworld?
The Dahaka from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. There's something oddly satisfying about using the water sword to defeat the enemy that's been chasing you down all game.
When you said defeat Gimble with a chair, I thought you were referring to the way you can kill two birds with one stone by selecting Gimble for the Replanting a Lily quest.
I like how the set didn't have any bananas on hand for the joke, but there are definitely sweeties there.
Never struggled with capra demon since i found out you can run up the stairs behind him and then drop down on him over and over
Bit late with the Radahn entry, they fixed that one.
In Maz Koshia's defense, it's been about 10,000 years since his last meal...
In Maz Koshia's defense, if you hadn't eaten a thing for a century, then your highly honorable and straight up heroic opponent whom you are testing offered you bananas, wouldn't you want to have a snack?
Hahaha the rahdan cheese is most likely an oversight than intended play. I thought they were gonna talk about how easy he is to proc scarlet rot on and just hang back and let the poison + summons do the fight for you. Ocassionally popping a few scarlet rot arrows at the boss.
It's because his horse travels directly beneath you in the ground while he's doing his meteor impression, a way for the game to know where to aim him when he crashes back down.
I think what you call a man on fire who is no longer on fire is: Put Out
To be fair, the chair one is funnily realistic.
He stops to eat a banana and that's weird? Idk if you were like an ancient ass old man and saw your favorite food I'd even pause attacking for you to have a feast
