Would Kirby Star Allies’s Galacta Knight count? He gets offed by, and I cannot stress this enough, a psychotic butterfly and is replaced by Morpho Knight.
I believe the offical kirby designation by fans is oh no. And not the orange butterfly!
The butterfly returns and does it the the Fecto Forgo in Forgotten Land.
Aye dnt sleep on diabolical bugs, They’re EVERYWHERE in games and movies now
@@costby1105 It does it to Fecto Forgo’s soul form, which isn’t as bad until you remember what Fecto Elfilis looks like…..
For Galacta Knight, no, because that particular moment didn't happen in a canonical sense. However, considering he pulls the same BS with Soul Forgo at the end of the post-game story in Forgotten Land, I would count it in that instance
See the beauty of a Tonberry’s knife is that it’s not just a one hit kill, it does damage equal to the amount of monster that character has killed. And in a JRPG your kill count is astronomical
A Tonberry would be Beerus's ultimate nightmare.
@@jaredcrabb it would be his never ending night mare tonberrys r evil Satan spawns the ff15 versions r 10000x worse since the master tonberrys learn from yoda
@@starfire6789 Oh god now Im gonna imagine tonberries flipping around like gravity doesnt affect them.
@@jaredcrabb they literally have noctis's warp strike not a fun mob to fight
@@starfire6789 i'm just holding □ the entire battle
You know, the strange part is that the Tonberry sequence is the only time I can think of that a boss one shotting somebody in the cinematic is actually accurate to how they fight in the actual boss fight.
Except a lot faster. Normal Tonberrys walk really slowly forward in all the games I remember fighting them. That little guy was SPRINTING.
@@MunchKING and for that I am thankful. That would’ve been a very short boss fight.
Tiny lizards arms absolutely pumping, the wind flowing through his hood, his arm, moving seemingly in slow motion… before coming to a sudden stop in my characters.
Three turns later and the battle win music is playing not for me, but for Titonberry, the hasty herald of Hermes. At which point he shuffles off, in search of his next target.
Go forth my little lizard man, be the lantern I’d rather run from in a dark cave.
@@MunchKINGthey like the feeling they get when you start crapping yourself at the sight of its slow threatening walk
@@MunchKING Unless it's FF7 remake and they teleport behind you to shank you.
The best bit about Tiso is you don’t even see him die, you just come across his corpse amongst the many others that have fallen from the coliseum
we watched him get crushed in the video
@@bhahouighf I'm referring to normally
@@bhahouighf only in the Colleseum
@@bhahouighf it's part of a dream sequence where you rematch all the bosses you've already defeated
@@tiggsy1518
Ah.
Who would win? An undying crimson tentacle monster with a lust for blood? Or one stabby boi?
If you're talking about the tonberry, it honestly would depend on the monster. Because if it does everybody's grudge, then depending on how many characters the tentacle monster killed, it probably for over 9,999 points of damage
I like how the OX symbol looks like a half dead Tonberry staring at us... menacingly.
Tonberries are both adorable and outright terifying with the knife, so....I vote doinksalot.
@@KotushkFier666 🥲
First time I saw one of those was in FF7. While my brother and I were playing the game at the same time (him on the PS3, me on my PSP), he reached one before me. He and I both knew something was up when they placed that first solitary tonberry out there and it just slowly shuffled forward. Learned the hard way that you need to kill it and kill it fast before it wrecks all the characters you love, lol.
The tonberry is basically Final Fantasy's embodiment of the phrase "f around and find out"
Isn't that phrase the mission statement of every RPG?
The Tonberry is Final Fantasies way of a big middle finger to the players who crush most enemies in the game with ease
Doesn't hurt that in most games, they power up dependent on how many enemies you've killed... so don't kill anyone and they're not hard... kill loads and they're a nightmare.
@@AlexisCheynas I've been playing FF3 recently and fought my first Tonberry (called a Pug for some reason) one immediately wiped my entire team and sent me back to the crusher room inside the Zone Eater (my fault for not saving), then later, I open a chest and THREE of the little bastards come out
I was a bit disappointed that the tonberry doesn’t do anything cool like absorb the essence of the evil being.
I remember the first time I met a Tonberry...I have never had more confidence in my ability to kill an enemy be dashed so thoroughly.
The funniest part about Tiso's whole thing is that before the Pantheon, you probably had already found his corpse from having been killed in the Coliseum. He talks such big game and then dies off-screen. The Brooding Mawlek is really just salt in the wound.
It's quite clever for an atrocious "hater of all that lives" to be killed by a Tonberry, considering that their main gimmick is that they avenge the deaths of other creatures, getting stronger the more enemies you have killed (which in a game like Final Fantasy, is likely to be a lot). You don't expunge Tonberry's taint, Tonberry has arrived to expunge YOUR taint.
And it just occurred to me that Sans and Tonberry are basically the same concept.
Unexpected, but not unwelcome
Just as well, I don't want to expunge anyone's taint.
@@mimisezlol an unexpected taint, but a welcome one
…..And they are both equally terrifying.
So, Sans is the Tonberry of UnderTale? And here I thought that fight couldn't get scarier...
Wanna know what makes the Tonberry even scarier in that game?
If you take too long killing it, it can up it's grudge stages to where it has THE HIGHEST offensive stats out of ANY enemy. Yes, even the hardest superbosses don't get as much Strength and Magic as a max grudge level tonberry.
It's literally a DPS check. If you don't have the; levels, gear, abilities and proper team set up... you can't win. The only way to 'brute force' it is to have at least two of those so stupidly over-grinded that nothing else is a challenge normally. I was lucky enough that when I fought it, I was actually on par with it so all I had to do was use the offensive spray and go ham.
@@CerulianHimmel When I took them down, I was hardcore pushing the stagger gauge. Having 3 ravagers on one paradigm and 3 commando for when it's staggered does melt HP fast. Especially if you have Fang's Highwind already.
Also, Vanille's Death spell did a lot of damage too when stagger gauges get high. Possibly the biggest damage dealer being upwards to 1 mil damage every few seconds.
@@DarkFrozenDepths You know your screwed in a fight when Vanille is the only that can regularly stand up against an enemy without grinding to absurd levels.
@@truekurayami Even at max stats, I still find the Neochu fight to be incredibly hard w/o her spamming Death to get rid of the boss.
@@DarkFrozenDepths And that proves my point. I really like 13 but because of moments like that even when you are forced into a party lock like with the first half of the story is why I can't really play it as much as other FF entries.
My personal favorite instance of this is the first boss in Castle Crashers. A Beefy version of a Barbarian roars at you only to be crushed by a big door behind him, knocked down by a huge barbarian boss.
This was the first example that came to my mind.
@@Nick_Lyston ikr
Yeah
@@Nick_Lyston it was mine too
My first thought too.
Sadly that wasn’t even tiso’s real death. He actually dies fighting in the colosseum of fools, you can find his body lower in that area. The fight against him (against brooding mawlek) is actually in a separate dream realm.
I'll be honest I cried a little when I found him dead
Every time I've seen a Tonberry while playing a FF game, I've always had the same thoughts.
#1: "When was my last save?!"
#2: "How many hours of my life is this little bastard going to steal from me?!"
Depends highly on the game to be fair...
FF14 tonberries in the wanderers palace dungeon during the scholar job quest are really easy to deal with. The ones in the dungeon for your duty have No HP bar at all. Tho the small ones do and are again pretty easy to get rid of.
The ones in FF13 AND 13-2 are not easy. But wouldn't take longer then 8 ish minutes if you are decently prepared and leveled. (Still be worried of the everybodies grudge that can 1 shot you)
Idk much bout tonberries of other ff games.
@@cherrydragon3120 I know that FFX-2 isn't the most well-loved games (it remains one of the few that makes me cry but I digress), but the Tonberries in that one are a complete and total nightmare. If I remember correctly, you pretty much only find them in the Big Dungeon and some of them are friendly and give you items. And sometimes they just straight up shank you and force you to go back to your last big level in the dungeon, resetting all of your work.
I also feel like they show up in regular encounters as well. Which. Sigh.
The trick in FFX is to bring in characters that don't often deal the final blow when you fight Tonberries.
In VI they are ever so slightly overshadowed by the Brachiosaur! Ooh, I jus shivered remembering those long-necked mountains of hurt... What do you mean my Blizzaga missed?
Respect the doink
Everyone's Grudge
Ff7
I think a similar one would have to be the final fight in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. While you do have to fight the Second Sister in the fight's entirety, once you beat her Darth Vader himself shows up and cuts down the Second Sister for her failure.
Its pretty scary when he doesn't even have a health bar, and all you can do is RUN.
I liked that twist. Vader is meant to be one of the most powerful force users around. Getting whipped every other game is dumb.
They did mention it on a vid about bosses you could only run from, and I'm pretty sure it was recent, so it makes sense to leave it out this time.
In all the other boss fights, your QTEs had you mashing the Attack button. When Vader shows up, your QTEs have you mashing the Evade button.
That was one of the best examples of how terrifying Vaders power truly was. While the movies say he's a terrifying badass you never really get to see it. But Fallen Order really makes you feel helpless against him.
That doesn't fit with the theme of this video. Like you said, you actually fight and defeat the Second Sister in an actual boss fight, and Darth Vader is not a boss fight he is just a cinematic chase sequence
I mean, Tonberry's damage is based around how many enemies you kill, and based on the description, Xenobia probably killed a lot, arguably more than even the main party did, so it's no wonder why Tonberry was able to one shot her.
Asgore from Undertale is definitely a case of this. You fight a long battle against him, and when you defeat him he opens up emotionally, and regardless of if you choose to spare him or kill him, Flowey will kill him anyway.
And you're constantly told about him from all your friends, Toriel warns you that he will kill you, Papyrus says he'll let you leave if you ask, and Alphys tells you that you'll have to kill him to do so
@SirToastyToes And all three of them are right.
Ashore normally WOULD let you go if you asked him, but he HAS to kill you, so you're gonna have to kill him to leave.
Doesn't really meet the brief of "immediately killed" though, since he's almost completely dead when Flowey jumps in.
Don't you just hate it when you're minding your own business and a bunch of heros come along and expunge your taint without even asking?
I thought I was going to avoid laughing until I was completely dead when I finally was able to gain control of myself, but then I saw THIS comment happened, and now I’m at risk ALL OVER AGAIN.
@@billyalarie929 R.I.P
Ugh, hate it when that happens lol.
That sounds... Painful
@@cherrydragon3120 That the sound of a taint being expunged?
Legitimately surprised the Borderlands example you chose was Flyboy and not Commandant Steele, powerful Siren blocking your access to the fabled Vault, getting immediately gutted by the Destroyer upon opening said vault.
Well borderlands 2's more popular than the first one so... yeah
Commenter edition. That means they didn't choose.
@@Ceaseless_Watcher I'm sure there were comments for both. It's the internet hive mind, it contains infinite knowledge of how wrong people are
I would even dare to say Flyboy himself would have been harder. Those things were bad af to hit at lvl 3 challenge ...
Especially since you can fight flyboy after beating up piston by reentering his area. Meanwhile you had to get a dlc to fight the siren.
Ohh poor Tiso.
Glad you guys include him in this video.
It makes sense a tonberry would off something like that though. All of their special moves are about doing more damage per everything the target has ever killed.
It’s strongly implied they’re out to get vengeance for, well, anything that gets killed ever. And what did the party do to get those levels?
Honestly I was kinda sad about tiso’s death, not because I like him, but because his spiky shells thing looked like a really cool fight
And also the Broody mawlek isn't actually a terribly hard boss, so like... it's not like a nailsage sly addition or anything
he died to one of hollow knights easier bosses,, that is sad, yes
Brooding Mawlek actually caused me a lot of problems in the Pantheon of the Master, early on... I had trouble judging the range of his claw attacks, and he'd wear he down for the Nail Masters fight. And then he gave me problems again when I was doing the Patheon with bindings.
As for Tiso, are you really surprised the game doesn't take him at all seriously? He's basically a less memorable Zote.
this is also in p5 not collo
Extra sad is that he was a Kickstarter backer NPC. So somebody paid to have him in the game only for him to be splatted at the last second.
I love the Zenobia one from ff13 because it fits the Tonberry lore so well. Tonberry usually have an attack that deals damage that scales with the number of enemies you have defeated. So the fact it one shots this crazy monster known as the butcher makes total sense
Agreed
FF12 also has this happening with one of its bosses. In the Necrohol of Nabudis, it sets up this big beast only for it to be killed by a purple bunny called Fury.
My only experience with Tonberries is from Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, where the mission Moschet Manor has you go searching through 7 different rooms murdering them.
In FFCC they’re actually quite weak, so it’s pretty weird to know they’re actually really strong. I suppose that does put some context into why my aunt was terrified of said Tonberries.
In the Final Fantasy games, Tonberries had a large amount of HP that took forever to get through if you weren't prepared properly. They slowly made there way towards you and once in front of you, stab you with the knife, which causes instant death. But the one technique they had that makes everyone frightened of them is called Everyone's Grudge (FF7) or Karma (FF10). That move does 10 damage for every monster that a character has killed. Example: One character has killed 1000 monsters, the technique will do 10000 damage to that character.
I swear everytime outsidexbox mentions Conker they always find a way to show The Great Mighty Poo
Wouldn't you?
You can't not
Let's be honest, the great mighty poo is as much comedy gold as the sweet corn he eats
To be fair he is a great mighty poo
Who, I believe, in a statement of intent as old as the apes, will throw his sh*t at you.
In Final Fantasy you can fight the grim reaper, death, the embodiment of darkness, Chaos itself. But the most terrifying beastie is the tiny monk turtle with a butcher knife
Tiny turtle monk can 1 hit kill you... at ANY level. Its just an insta kill.
Does not need to be a god, or embodiment of death. Its just a scary fucker cause its not even that strong, but you KNOW it can end the fight if it wants to
At first you think "😂🤣😂🤣" GTFOH until he party wipes everyone
If you somehow managed to accidentally encounter Yiazimat in FFXII then your in for a treat as well
@@lordsativa6481 man
Tonberries aren't turtles, they are FISH!
The flesh panopticon from Ultrakill needs to be on like a part 2 of this list. Sisyphus prime just rips straight through it before the boss fight is even over, and then the following fight is complete hell.
I remember going to my friends house and watch him fight The Penetrator as a kid, we couldn't stop laughing halfway because during it we realized that FromSoft simultaneously had named a item "sticky white stuff" and our childish brains thought that was funnier than a fart at a funeral😂
This sort of thing can happen a lot in 4X games. You've been dealing with a local rival and are about to go up against their most heavily fortified bastions - when suddenly a third power, a far more advanced and aggressive juggernaut than either of you, arrives with a doom-fleet and flattens the rival practically without effort.
They might've been Your rival, but you weren't Their rival. You were a side project. But now? Their rival is Your big boss. Nice job breaking it, hero.
Fricking Egypt/Fallen Empires, mang.
What are yall talking about that sounds dope
@@JordanThomas-iq2kv I might be overselling it a bit. "4X" games are a type of (usually turn-based) strategy game, like Stellaris, Civilization, and so on, where you start with a small and relatively low-tech civilization and grow it into dominance over the continent, planet, galaxy, or whatever setting the game uses. The term stands for "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate": as your growing empire improves its tech, you'll need to find more territory and resources for your people to continue achieving greatness, so you will almost inevitably start having to pick fights with other civs trying to move up on you.
One situation that can happen is that you'll find yourself locked in a long war with a nearby empire whose numbers and tech are roughly on par with yours. That can turn into a meat-grinder pretty quick, since neither side has a decisive advantage - and then seemingly out of nowhere, a third civ that managed to get some sort of boost (no nearby rivals, loads of resources, high population growth, whatever) shows up with numbers and tech light-years beyond the best you or your local enemy have.
The over-selling part comes from the generally slow pace of the game. That scenario above might be the plot of the game, but the gameplay itself is... Well, one friend of mine described it as being a bit like SimCity, but with a couple violent extra layers.
Lustria Bowl
If you know you know
I like that the thing on the thumbnail looks like it would be one of the Fake out Bosses but is actually the much scarier Boss instead.
It's even scarier in FF7-Remake. The damn fools gave it the ability to teleport.
Same thing with Stranger of Paradise.
@@jaredcrabb Omg I just started Stranger of Paradise and the fact that they put Tonberries in the first real area you fight in had me yelling at the screen. That was cruel! I practiced the fine art of cheering it away from the bastards as fast as my Jack's legs could carry him. 🤣 Too cruel, just too damn cruel!
@@madalice5134 You can actually cheese that tonberry.
Fun fact: in the sequel to FF XIII, you travel through time and wind up fighting Zenobia 400 years AFTER she dies.
The timeline in that game is kinda tied up like a knot.
What about the barbarian boss from castle crashers? A much smaller barbarian enemy is squished by the door that only momentarily kept the giant barbarian boss at bay
"Who are notable for two things: Shuffling towards you like a tiny reptilian Michael Myers, and stabbing you with their knives for a devastating one-shot kill."
Y'know, also like Michael Myers
Unless you're Laurie Stokes. Except that one time, but that doesn't count.
Or a couple other occasions for dramatic purposes.
Busta rhymes still beat him
Unless you're playing Dead By Daylight, of course.
I mean Myers really should have worn a tonberry mask. Much more frightening.
I remember think, "ah cool this tentacle monster looks cool" then a tonberry showed up and I promptly evacuated my bowels
Why was that so hilarious
I remember my first time seeing it, somehow I forgot what a tonberry was and thought it was just hilarious. I was not laughing 1 minute later when I saw how little damage I was doing 🥲
FFXII, the Catoplas in the Necrohol of Nabudis. _A large behemoth, which you fought a lesser version before in the "oh dear god why are there murder plant horses and are those TPK giant lobster dragons" Zertinan Caverns, is killed by a freaking bunny.....named Fury. Who proceeds to murder you and your party. All six of them, and all your espers._
RIP Tiso, may your memory be forever remembered
Also malwek is incredibly easy, it only shoots out a goop that turns your dreams into nightmares and your sanity into a will to kill everything that approaches you
That you just happen to be immune to
oh, i just remembered one that probably counts:
near the end of the first Paper Mario game, a talking door says you have to win a battle to get past him.
he then summons the Koopa Bros...
BUT, before the fight properly starts, they get sent flying by Koopa JR.!
then you fight HIM for the FOURTH time!
afterward, the talking door gets confused: "HUH?! you beat the guy who beat the koopa bros, so does that mean you beat the koopa bros? this is too confusing, i'll just let you pass."
was shocked the final jr troopa fight never came up in this video.
Andy's Ono Michio shirt is easily one of the highlights of this video.
Come on Andy, rock the cute fish pouch and cool boots!
I honestly thought I was seeing things the first time I saw it. I was very happy to see I was wrong. I want one.
O NO! *poses*
If anyone knows where to buy one of those shirts, lemme know XD
Andy’s definitely got one bold and trendy Ono shirt, that’s right!
Andy must be the pride of Brighton!!
(Kirby and the Forgotten Lands Spoilers)
One of my favorites is Morpho Knight. When Star Allies started the bait and switch era of Kirby, Forgotten Lands was quick to follow suit. So you destroyed the physical form of ID-F86, then had to snap the beasts out of his control after his spirit tries to take revenge. It seems like we're gonna get the Marx Soul esque rematch via Fecto Soul... And then a magic butterfly swoops in and obliterates him, transforming into Meta Knight's prototype appearance. When it happened in Star Allies, we were caught off guard. But those who played that game dreaded seeing that butterfly again.
I would consider when Bendy kills the Projectionist counts as a boss that was killed by a scarier boss, but then it wasn't immediate so I guess that's why it didn't make the countdown.
Another one from Final Fantasy XIII would be a Behemoth during Titan's Trials. Most behemoths are equivalent to small bosses. However, if you complete all of Titan's other trials, you unlock a special one where he summons a behemoth in your fighting zone. Turns out that's just some bait for Attacus the Soulless, one of the Undying Cieth and one of the few bosses that uses Doom.
EDIT: He casts Doom after 20 minutes have passed, putting a hard time limit on the fight.
Attacus was indeed quite scary when it just 1 SHOTTED the Behemoth King.... wich if you played FF13 and got to chapter 11 where those things roam around the Achylte steppe.... you know they are no joke to fight... to be fair, Attacus is a real challenge with his like 8.4 million ish HP and his 999% stagger bar and if i am correct 99% chain resist. So there is perhaps maybe 1 or 2 times in the entire battle you can manage to stagger him. Try to fight him before you got a max Level party and you might not be able to stagger him at all.
Meaning you won't do for example 6 times the damage you usualy do. But just your regular dmg. Wich ain't fun cuz i think he also halves physical and non elemental magic dmg
@@cherrydragon3120 I looked him up for more details. He takes 50% physical damage and only 10% magical damage. He also has 9.1 million HP.
When it comes to physical and magical resistance, those apply regardless of whether there's an element or not tied to the attack. So a Sparkstrike against a target with 50% lightning resist and 50% physical resist will only deal 25% damage.
@@azuredragoon2054 my goodness gracious, i do not want to, under any circumstances, have to fight that boss!
@@nickpapadopoulos9978 Although my original comment is a little inaccurate. He can cast Doom, but it's only after 20 minutes have passed.
i was gonna comment this but a cultured individual did it anyway
The last one makes me want a list of the Smallest and hardest bosses that you have to fight
Or truly terrifying bosses that dont look scary.
@@jaredcrabb ....... that reminds me of the Cosmic Monoliths from Epic Battle Fantasy Series. They are basically black stone slabs. Problem is for a stone monolith, they are INSANELY hard to hit (they warp space time the bastards) and just because fuck you they fire off a massive damaging attack on the regular. So yeah for a slab of black stuff they are pretty terrifying..... and for fun fight idk 3 at once.
@@thomasallen9974 I don't remember that one...not as annoying as the final boss and its massive over-stats though
Sad thing is Tonberry is better on a list of normal enemies as they are rarely actually bosses, but so much more terrifying.
Jinx, Mario RPG.
This also happens in the Borderlands 3 DLC, Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck, the final boss intro shows a normal psycho with a knife running at you, only to be crushed by a mace used by a larger, more buff psycho called the Psychoreaver
My first encounter with Master Tonberry was in FF7. I ran into him in the final cave level. I thought he was some sort of cute little guide. I was waiting for a diagram box to pop up. He just slowly walked up to my party. I had no idea if I was supposed to fight him. Then he one shotted a party member. Oh crap, run away! Run away! Another party member got one shotted before I could escape.
Barnaby "The Butcher" Fortescue could take some pointers from Zenobia, except for that part about getting poked by a Tonberry and immediately dying
Would Grigori stomping Elysion mid sentence (and the castle he's standing on) like a bug and then posthoumously roasting him count?
Either way, its one of the most badass cutscenes in Dragons Dogma.
"The ramblings of an upjumped zealot make for tedious listening."
Edit: DRAGONS DOGMA 2 IS IN DEVELOPMENT CONFIRMED!!!!
That always messed with me as a kid. I spent so many playthroughs hoping to fight Elysium earlier by doing everything possible. Alas, Grigori always stomped him and denied me my own opportunity to kill the obnoxious man.
@@nathanabel8169 yea, but even if we could fight him, what could he do? Bite at our ankles? Lol
They need a 3rd list.
@@ABadassDragon He could amuse us with his pleas for mercy while simultaneously raving about how we could not defy him while our weapon of choice runs him through.
"But remember, Arisen: when the weak court Death, they find it."
Thank you David Lodge, for granting Grigori your glorious voice.
I don’t know if this counts, but fuck it.
Chica’s magic rainbow from Fnaf world. We’re getting ready about to fight the super tough purple demon, and then all of a sudden he gets instantly squashed by a seemingly innocent rainbow that mocks you, and that has the potential to kill your whole party within a matter of seconds.
Omg could you imagine if the tonberrys actually moved as fast as this one does in 13 during that cut scene? That would be horrifying.
I remember one from Lego Dimensions. In the level Riddle Earth, the cutscene before the boss fight shows a sleeping troll that goblins try to wake up. Then that makes the player assume that the troll is the boss, but they slowly realize that isn’t the boss as Batman, Gandalf, and Wyldstyle start piecing together the riddle. Soon the doors behind the troll burst open launching the troll and Gollum to show Riddler riding the Balrog.
Forgot about that branch of madness…
That scenario just gave me a mixed bag of emotions
Excuse me
"Nya-ha-ha! Riddle me THIS, heroes: what's red, angry and about to stomp you all into flaming slush?!"
I grew up on final fantasy. The ff13 boss shows up and I'm like "ok, standard pure evil immortal tentacle monster, let's do this." A lantern appears in the corner "That's much more scary, not even surprised the first is dead, kill it now!"
Yeah, when that lantern appeared in the corner I was like “Noooooo!” 😮
My D&D DM took a note out of this book once. Sent a kraken on us, made us roll initiative and all. On the kraken's turn, it was about to use lightning storm on us, before it was immediately swallowed by an even bigger proto-kraken called the Tromokratis.
Tonberry said: *DOINK*
The intense BGM is called "Eidolons". One of my favorite battle soundtracks.
I remember a strike in Destiny where you think you're going to fight a giant Vex Minotaur only to watch it get slammed from the top rope by a Cabal boss.
I miss that strike.
Was it the ps4 exclusive one in the Europe zone?
@@captchron6148 It' was a Curse of Osiris strike.
@@zakeeros1663 ahhh cause in the dark lake a very close thing happens at the end of the strike but by a taken cabal
Tonberry's taint... a topic I never expected would ever come up in a conversation... and this is why I love this channel... never change OX team never change
They ask the hard questions, top knock journalism, does Tomberry have a shell under that robe?
@@DeadmanWL what's that Pokemon that looks like Pikachu but is not pikachu? Apparently the one that has a sack over its head with Pikachu's face and when you hit it hard enough, tentacles come out of it? I think that's what's up under a Tonberrys shell or whatever it's wearing. It's tentacles. Dark foreboding soul sucking tentacles. Cuz that's the only way it can come up with a spell like grudge that basically hits you for whatever you've killed throughout the course of the game...
having played ffxiv maining a scholar I'll have you know a taint made lots of tonberrys
@@drake713 I love the fact that they didn't show you part of the ending cutscene of hard mode wanderer's palace most likely due to how brutal is was. Also the reaction on your players face is priceless.
In ffxi, Tonberries have a move called Everyone's Grudge. The amount of damage it does increase with every Tonberry you have killed and can one shot you. There is a way to reset it, but can be a pain to do and people forget and get annihilated. FFXI held back no punches back in its day.
Man I lovedddd you guys when I was younger, that starting music is so fucking nostalgic.
Final Fantasy XIII is not the only game in the series to do this. An example that comes to mind is in XIV, in a dungeon called Brayflox's Longstop. If I recall correctly, the second to last boss gets killed by the last boss who you fight and chase off to their arena to kill them, halfway through the fight
Between a boss called "The Penetrator" and a journey involving "expulsing" someone's taint (That someone having Tentacles too), I'm starting to question what the hell is going on with these bosses.
Also, that Flyboy kid has confirmed to me I am old because despite hearing AND reading what he said, I'm still going "What the hell does that even mean?"
I showed it to my little brothers (one of whom is 10) and even THEY didn't know what he said.
You ever read 120 Days of Sodom? 👀
I can confirm as someone that was the right age when Borderlands 2 came out, Flyboy is literally speaking nonsense. But credit to them, it's very credible nonsense slang, it's genuinely difficult to write something like that in a way that doesn't sound extremely dated right out of the gates.
The penetrator is weak to magic damage, so if you put "white sticky stuff" on your weapon, it'll do more damage
That's on purpose, they wrote his dialogue to be dumb and incomprehensible. He even references the fact that he's just throwing buzzwords at you in the dialogue played in this video
_"Looks like he got_ MORDEN _he bargained for!"_ was the exact moment I upvoted/liked this video.
Ditto!
as someone who basically saw all the metal slug games in the main series, I can confirm Morden doesn't die in MS2 but the same thing happens to him in MS3 but you have to rescue him.
I’m surprised castle crashers isn’t on here, cause that’s what I think of when i think of small boss gets replaced by big boss
I absolutely love your Onomichio shirt bro!
Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
The soul of the final boss you beat before the secret zone shows up, and is immediately consumed by a butterfly that turns into Morpho Knight and fights you to the death.
Actually I think the butterfly may not be dead.
Ah, the last entry reminds me of farming Tonberries forever in Final Fantasy VIII to get one as a summon/Guardian Force after the King Tonberry boss fight.. I became well acquainted with the Tonberry and their stabby knives.
1 ap for each fight. No exp. And they were sponges. Torture.
@@azulral still died to single Renzokuken as everything else ...
you did get the Lionheart on disc one did you ? ... xD
@@azulral Yep, basically rubbing salt into the wound.
@@azulral Yeah. I mean, at least when you farmed Cactuars for the GF/AP, they gave you like a ton of AP if you got them before running. Tonberry's? Nope, f you, deal with us being crazed butt stabbers and get jack to show for it!! Muwahahahah! xD
FNaF World
The final boss of the DLC, Purplegeist, is fucking crushed by Chica’s Magic Rainbow, a character who appeared earlier in a rage mini game, and now SHE’s the final boss.
Whenever I think of moments like this, the first ones that come to mind are the barbarian boss from Castle Crashers and Griffon the Great from Stick War Legacy
that tonberry bait and switch almost gave me a heart attack back then
what's worse?
later on there's a mission where you fight three Tonberries lol
Really happy to see FFXIII getting some attention; one of my favorites in the franchise. Zenobia is a pretty tough boss in FFXIII-2 which only enforces further how powerful that Tonberry is to kill it in one strike.
Yeah it's nice to see FF13 content in 2022, great game.
I have yet to play FF13-2
Great video loved it, but on a side note most of the game footage you included were very dark/shady but the cuts to the blindingly white background with the speaker is a little bit jarring especially at night time where you have raise it because the game scenes are so dark.
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance has one where you enter a boss room and a big Armor monster comes at you with its giant sword when all of a sudden it gets smashed to pieces by a much bigger Armor monster called Talos.
Sees Andy's shirt. Immediately starts laughing with delight.
"Onooo, Michio!"
I like to imagine he does the pose at least five times a day, and has the whole ensemble of charming hassaku face! Steaming Onomichi ramen hat! Cute fish pouch! and cool boots, vital for any fisherman.
I'm surprised Akuma didn't make the list, him on one shotting M.Bison is horrifying
That was in the previous video referenced at the beginning.
one example I can give is in Skul the hero slayer when you enter the 3rd boss area for the first time there's and a Dark Alchemists that stands from a chair and starts talking and is about to start the fight before he is crushed by a huge Chimera
It was just for a moment in the video, but we should talk more about the bat in aria of sorrow. The first time I saw that I laughed so hard, was so into the game that this sense o humor got me off guard.
For scarier bosses: No Jane /Prudence when she can button click her colleagues out of existence/mute them when she’s got control or banish her fellow guild members/enemies as she wishes? Shame
So she's the guild pres.
I'm reminded of a line from He Who Fights with Monsters. A character wonders about monster names, and mentions he knows some of them have gotten people killed. ANd brings up as an example - Demon Sloths vs Sloth Demons.
One of my favorites is in The Wonderful 101, where the Second in Command of GEATHJERK, who is described by the game as being super fearsome and scary, is not only dead by the time you get to him, but was in fact killed by Prince Vorkken, who then proceeds to fight you in one of the most difficult fights in the entire game.
Not that its relevant, but I havent seen your videos in my recommended for 2-3 years! Glad its back
I love how Andy is able to talk about taint expunging whilst keeping a straight face.
He’s The Greatest...
He’s Fantastic...
Wherever there is Gaming, he’ll be there...
Big Correction on Tiso's whole thing, while you DO see him in the colluseum, you never actually fight him in there, instead if you explore the area where the colluseum is located you find his dead body on the ground, what you guys are talking about with him getting crushed by the Mawlek is what happens in godhome
No he can show up in the colluseum too if you get there at the right time. If you explore too many other areas first (I think that's the condition but it might be boss related) he dies and you find his body where you saw him. I've seen him in both places in different playthroughs.
@@jakeread9668 read the original comment again
There’s one of these in Spooky’s jump scare mansion. Old specimen 10 gets killed by the new specimen 10, the parasite
Right off the bat you killed me with the Leechmonger Puns. 🤣
Not sure if this would fall under the "scary" category, but I have an example of a bait-and-switch boss. In the original Paper Mario, when you get to Bowser's Castle, you're about to have a rematch with the Koopa Bros., only for Jr. Troopa to come in, one-shot all four of them, and take their place as the boss.
In the last two major Kirby games, we have the final bosses of extra modes being eliminated before you could fight them and replaced by an entirely different boss. In Star Allies, it's Galacta Knight. In Forgotten Land, it's Soul Forgo. The boss that replaces them? The Grim Reaper in butterfly form, Morpho Knight, who came out of hell to tell everyone to stop.
Remember my first encounter with a Tonberry (FF9 I think). Had no idea what it was. Quickly never forgot.
I don't know if it was in Part 1, but the first thing this idea made me think of was the leader of the Space Pirates in Kid Icarus Uprising being immediately eaten by a Space Kraken that came out of nowhere.
Apparently this happened a lot in FF13, when i saw that it was in the video i was sure it was going to be Jihl Nabaat being murdered by her boss right before she finally decides to fight you, after tormenting your party for a good part of the game.
There was also that Contra boss fight from Shattered Soldier. Starts off with a helicopter that not only has been harassing you the whole level, but transforms into a mech to face off against as the boss. Only to have a horrific giant alien turtle boss drop from above and crush the mech. Which only gets worse when you blow up the turtles head, because it then turns around and reveals that its whole backside is a giant fleshy human head.
Even when I didn't know what a Tonberry was, I was terrified when I first encountered one.
Street fighter 2 comes to my mind immediately, but only if you are effectively playing a perfect game. The normal boss you fight (M.Bison) gets his rear kicked by Akuma right in front of you and you have to fight him instead.
I saw the tonberry, I saw the title, and I knew Zenobia was going to be on here. It’s funny because it’s the first thing that comes to mind anyway.
I remember when Tiso showed up in the Pantheon. I was like: Wait, Tiso? But I've never fought him befor... Oh no, Mawlek!!! Please, get me out of here!!!
Yeah. In Story mode you can kinda cheese the fights with Mawlek because they are usually on a higher platform and there is an easy blindspot when they are one said higher platform. And they are still a pain. And then fighting them on a flat surface sucks.
@@twistedmyth5860 the flat surfave makes it easier imo
i have one, in monster hunter world there's a quest to hunt a teostra, a giant fire dragon and right when you get there it is scared off by a nergigante but a lunastra scares the nergigante off leaving you to fight the lunastra and it is TERRIFING like it is so strong i cant even verbally explain it
I might also bring up the first boss in Castle Crashers, and the Gorog boss fight from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II. In the case of the latter, it originally looks like you’re supposed to fight a rancor, then a giant hand reaches up from behind it and grabs it.
Both were in the first video
How about the first boss you face in Castle Crashers. It remains the fist boss in the game's demo, but changes drastically in the main game.
I think you'd really like the original version of this video
That was in the first video actually.
Galactica Night and Soul Forgo, both were set up to be terrifying bosses, and then immediately got absorbed by a glowing red butterfly that has the strongest desire for omnicide and became the even more terrifying boss known as Morpho Knight
Bro the sister being killed by darth vader was by far one of the best ones I've seen I mean, it goes from a fight to you barely being able to outrun your enemy
oml I haven't seen this channel in forever and I'm realising how old it is
I was deffinetly gonna sugest the Zenobia one from FF13 but someone beat me to it lol...
Fun fact: Zenobia actualy returns in FF13-2 Due to time traveling being a thing and time distortions. Meaning you do fight Zenobia in the sequel. And it ain't an easy fight either :P making The tonberry that slightly scarier of an opponent if you think about it.
Also, attacus the soulles in titans trials... kills your actual opponent in 1 hit and trows it off the cliff.
Yeah, that bastard Kills a behemoth King in 1 hit and then turns towards you.... its lot harder to defeat then the Tonberry too sooooooo yeeaahhhh...
In Ace Combat Zero, there's a special non-canon mission that's just a boss rush with all of the ace squadrons you faced in the game that is unlocked after beating the game with all three mercenary styles.
If you do well enough on the hardest difficulty, Wizard Squadron, one of the hardest ace squadrons in the game, shows up running away from something. It's quickly revealed to be Mobius 1 in an F-22A Raptor, who Ace Combat 4 players recognize as the player character from AC4. He promptly shoots down all of Wizard Squadron before turning those missiles onto you.
I feel like i got to mention castle crashers where the first non mini boss is a bigger version of the main barbarian enemy but then the giant door behind him falls and reveals the actual boss to be a much much bigger version of the main barbarian enemy.
Tonberry's are legit probably the scariest enemies in all Final fantasy. The way they look so goofy but just menacingly walk towards your party before just one shotting them with a little kitchen knife like a small green Michael myers.
