Some of the hardest video game bosses are often completely secret. Here are our favorite examples. Subscribe for more: th-cam.com/users/gameranxTV?su...
The best part about fight with Demi-fiend is that the boss theme for the fight is a regular battle theme from Nocturne. You are just some random encounter to him.
I wish I had fought them sooner. First playthrough I was waiting to be levelled up enough but when I got to the point of facing them I was too levelled, they weren't as tough as I thought they should have been. NG+ I beat them as soon as I saw them but the fire one and the queen gave me real problems.
the last vakyrie is one of my favorite boss fights in gaming. It makes you think of all the things you learned in the game and use them to win her. You have to have big balls to defeat her in hardest difficulties
Learned? Like what? The game is piss poor easy. Most of the time i almost fell asleep while playing it not to mention the boss is a joke and i dont even know why its on this list. You have to be a newcomer to gaming if you found this boss hard because me and many other veterans of gaming found this game to be a joke in comparison to the other gow games gameplay and difficulty
@@HandheldGamer1991 the other god of war games were a joke compared to this. “Veteran gamer” 😂 I’m in my 40s, been playing games since I was 3. I think you’re entirely full of shit.
I played GoW on the hardest difficulty my first run through and had this minor obsession (at times) where’d I’d spend entire days learning each valkyries move set until I was able to defeat it without taking any damage. When I got to Sigrun I felt like a badass just knowing exactly how to deal with each move she threw out.
@@rasseskogster9627 same here. I beat all bosses normally, but I stuck at Midir. Summoned one random guy and he annihilated him while I was too shocked to do anything :D Dude went super saiyan on him...

Kingdom hearts has a LOT of really hard optional bosses. I'd argue that lingering will and Yozora are 2 of the hardest bosses ever and not just within their own franchise. In fact the KH community has it's own sub community thats all about the difficult battles and level 1 crit runs and stuff. Data battles, Mysterious figure, Lingering will, Yozora and even some actual story bosses on harder difficulties ( KH1 Ansem/Riku. KH2 Xaldin. KH BBS Eraqus. DDD young xehanort) have quite the rep. If some gamers still believe KH is for kids, or has no challanges, they dont know KH. It has a hardcore community that loves serious challanges and KH provides quality challange, if you know where to look for it. I myself am perfectly happy with normal difficulties most of the time but even I am aware of the fan following it devolped due to difficult bosses and proud/critical runs (except proud mode KH3 which felt more like standard mode..for some reasons).
Falcon: "... Crewmax from borderlands 1" Me: *woken up from my nap* "he doesn't mean crawmerax, does he?" Yup. Yup he did. Also. No weaknesses? How about the giant glowing weak points? No?
@@rukitomikutochi8764 thought I was one of the only ones who doesn't like him. He pronounces words hella weird sometimes and just his overall tone of voice gives off an "I don't give a fuck" vibe.
He also said the #1 boss was "The Demi-Friend" (its Demi-Fiend smh). I know he's just a script reader, but he does things like this all the time and it really comes off badly when someone who I'm not even sure plays video games is reading off these videos like he's some relatable gamer. At least do like 2 min research into how to say a name instead of butchering them every other video. Its even worse when the videos are supposed to be informational and he's trying to educate the viewer, when he doesn't even sound like he knows what he's talking about on the topic.
Lingering Will was the one secret boss I refused to beat and it wasnt because of the difficulty. Its because of who is behind that armor: Terra. That scene that plays out where he is telling Sora that he wasnt the one he chose that was referencing BBS and how Terra chose Riku as his Keyblade Predecessor (Aqua chose Kairi and Ventus while he didnt choose Sora personally, his heart found its way to Sora and basically became Soras heart). I felt so bad for Terra once I realized that he was still there in the Keyblade Graveyard and hes still suffering from the consequences of BBS.
I had a way harder time against The Nameless King Midir was hard, but once you learned his patterns it was way easier I mean you can say that about any boss But I never felt I needed to be 100% perfect or suuuuper buff to beat him. Obviously my opinion But I was just saying
@@davidwallace7543 Nameless King took me like 20-25 tries. He has so many damn move sets and some of them look similar to others which makes his 2nd stage so hard to dodge, he also barely telegraphs if at all. Finally after so many attempts he did a close-range stab attack three times in a row - since he was at 15% HP at that point I'm like "YESSSS I WON FINALLY 😭😭 DONT GET GREEDY!!!" I'll be honest if he hadn't decided to chain stab attacks right at the end it could've easily taken me another 20-25 attempts lol.
For the Skyrim one, it's a good thing mods exist. They might limit you being able to summon Karstaag to 3 times, but with mods, I'm sure you could remove that limit or raise it to such a high number that you can use it for a long time.
When SBFP streamed the Midir fight, it took so many tries that Pat eventually discovered the boss's first rush attack doesn't actually hit you if you just stand still upon landing in the arena. You'll still get rekt after that (unless you're one of those insane naked run madlads), but at least it's amusing to watch.
No lie Sigrun was one of the hardest damn bosses I've ever beaten. It took me 201 tries in GMGOW. I cried in happiness and it felt like a lifetime achievement
The only one of these that I've come across was Ozma at #2 and let me tell you that was the biggest accomplishment 13 year old me had in gaming up to that point. Hyped to see him on the list.
So you might have had a rule in place where you can only list one boss per game franchise or something but I definitely think yozora from kh3's Re:Mind DLC should've been on the list. He's a really difficult fight even if you're max level and have fully upgraded keyblades but there's also more factors that make him worse. For one he has a move that steals your keyblade if you get trapped in it, he can steal hp from you (I think), and if you have a kupo coin he can steal that with one of his attacks too
That's pretty much how I am in every game. I'm playing trails of cold steel 4 right now and I have these dragon incense items that basically heal your party to full plus gives you these order points and I think i have over 10 and I'm in the final area 🤷♂️
I've never played the final fantasy series, but I've still heard the horror stories of ozma, and now that I look at it, kind of has a lovecraftian feel to it; unusual arbitrary method of finding it, yet it's presence can be chalked up to surrounding events, nonsensical form when you face it, and easily capable of leveling the world if it wanted.
I beat Ozma after numerous attempts and because his AI script is prone to punishing you for preparing against his attacks, I know what I did wrong in my failed attempts but not what I did right in my successful one.
@@XenonArcher yeah, I don’t know if it works with the remaster as I’ve not gotten that far, but I know there’s a glitch spot where you get launched by one of his attacks and then you just sit up in the ridge and nothing can hurt you
Another honorable mention to rodin in bayonetta 2. One of the toughest optional bosses I've fought. He was hard enough in bayonetta 1 but the devs cracked up the fight a lot for the sequel. And I love it.
The awkward moment when the TH-camr GBG beat sigrum in 48 seconds on hardest difficulty while using his phone as the controller.. but as someone who has died to her more than any other enemy in that game she had it coming
Even if TH-cam had existed, defeating Demi Fiend probably took more than a week. Even almost 20 years later there is still only *one* singular, insanely complex method that's accepted to give you half a chance so probably still more than a week.
I fought all of those Valkyries on normal difficulty and let me tell you, Beating Sigrun after so many deaths was THE most satisfying thing I've done when playing God of War.
What about Faust from The Legend of Dragoon? You can't even access it until you find 50 unmarked items without any way of knowing that they are there, including some that can be impossible to get to if missed. On top of that, once you do fight him he is crazy strong.
Another honorable mention from the souls series would be Darklurker from DS2. As tough as the fight was I actually enjoyed it a lot it remains as one of my favorites.
It's very hard if you go in blind without using thunder or fire. This would be a very good honorable mention since it is a very specific boss that appears out of nowhere if you didn't know beforehand.
I found Galamoth to be somewhat easy, i had an item equipped and it helped alot. Ozma also, my 1st time i beat him didn't know that "one" character was basically unkillable using it against Ozma.
@@lordfoogthe2st248 For lost kin you dont want to be jumping around, defenders crest for the little ghost jellies. When lost kin jumps toward you wait til it's above you, then dash away. It can cover 80% of the screen.
@@generalyousif3640 I'm talking about the people who got it legally, I personally just finished the game, to tell the truth, I didn't know that data, there is no honor and glory if it was achieved in this way.
Of these bosses, I've beat Midir, Osma, and the SOTN boss. I remember using some type of mist type spell against Midir... don't remember why though? Osma was really hard to survive, but wasn't especially tough for a super boss, so if you had some ways to do max damage you could take him out quick. He had like 55k HP. Compared to a lot of FF bosses that have half a million or more, it wasn't much. Off the top of my head I can remember at least two ways I used for max damage, one was some kind of reflect combo using the black mage character, another was Zidane's limit break, I think. As for the Symphony of the night boss, I remember steam rolling all the lategame SOTN bosses, including that one. I don't really think he deserved a place on this list, but maybe I had some especially good weapon I don't remember, lol.
#9 There was an unmarked quest chain involving giving different gemstones to animals, at the very end, when you gave the diamond to some goat they'd tell give you the power to fight him upclose and personal. From there it was actually pretty easy to beat him with at least Steiner and Freya...you could even use her trance to avoid Meteor with the whole party lol.
Kingdom hearts could have taken up this entire list yozora > terra armor. Kingdom hearts is not for kids, it's a series for millennials who grow up watching disney.
Killing Ozma was SOOOO satisfying. I'm pretty sure you had to give gems to certain versions of random monsters and find ALL of them to even hit him with a basic attack. Just another component to the fight that really made it difficult.
You forgot to mention when fighting crawmerax in borderlands 1, you have to shoot those purple spots that are on his back. Destroying those will decrease his health incredibly. The hard part is being able to get a shot on those. Just firing at him won't cut it, you have to shoot those purple dots if you're going to beat him.
I loved fighting darkeater midir (even as a pure melee build) definitely the hardest fight for me in the whole dark souls series but still incredibly fun and intense
It's been quite a while, but I remember fighting Crawmerax. Like everyone, I had trouble at first. Eventually, me and a couple friends would run him until we had a few wins. I got a lucky pistol drop that shot several rounds at once, and coupled with Mordecai's skills, I got to the point where I could one-shot him.
That’s insane. I found a ledge towards the back where he won’t attack you if you crouch. You need a weapon that has bullets that ricochet off walls because when u do this he’ll stand still like he’s waiting for you so you need the ricochet bullets to hit the side of him not facing you. The only problem are his minions. Specifically the worm ones that rush you. They can still attack and if the worm ones hit you they’ll knock you off. Despite that i could usually solo him 80% of the time
I have never ever died to a boss as many times I did with Sigrun in the Give Me God of War difficulty. She is really unpredictable at times and the day I defeated her (well it was months actually) was nothing less than something I wanna shout out in my neighborhood out loud 😂
Ever played the original on Titan? Beating the minotaur lord was awesome, but I didn't finish it because the phase in the Ares fight where you have to protect your family is total bullshit
Re: I had a way harder time against The Nameless King Midir was hard, but once you learned his patterns it was way easier I mean you can say that about any boss But I never felt I needed to be 100% perfect or suuuuper buff to beat him. Obviously my opinion But I was just saying
@@davidwallace7543 honestly I don't how to compare both on first play, I bought the dlc only when I was ng+4, on that NG midir was way worse then nameless for me. But yup, you are right about the whole pattern stuff, I think that midir's size is what got me good 😂😂😂
Put it this way for Karstagg. When I fought him, I was SUPER OP. Even a legendary dragon on legendary difficulty was little more than a small nuisance to me. Even the Ebony Warrior took very little effort on my part. I had the strongest weapons and armor possible with the strongest enchantments possible, plus a maxed out conjuration stat with duel soul and summon Dramora lord. So strongest enchanted attack, strongest enchanted defense, and 2 of the strongest possible summon available. There wasn't much that could realistically put up any kind of fight against me. But when I fought Karstagg,I got that feeling of a fresh ass noob wandering into the wrong part of the map for the first time again.
I had no idea that in SotN, the upside down portion of the castle was meant to be a secret. Or that galamoth was a hard boss. I guess it would depend how much grinding you did and your luck for loot prior. I think it was my 7th or 8th playthrough, I came across the crissaegrim.. it was the last time I played the game because it basically broke the game.
Playing God of War on "Give me God of War" difficulty for my first play through and going after all the valkyries when I found out they existed was very difficult, but so so satisfying when I relived them of their lives.
Yes! When I read the title and clicked on this video I immediately thought of Ozma. One of two secret bosses I couldn't beat in the final fantasy series, the other being Penance in FFX international. I feel like Penance should have been in this video, you had to have max luck (255) just to be able to hit the thing.
FINAL FANTASY 9!!!! I'm so happy Ozma was mentioned cuz it feels like it's never talked about it as a hard boss fight. I remember being super high level, having the best weapons and just getting destroyed. I never did beat it.
I would have to say that as a kid, the original Ruby and Emerald weapons from FF7 was so challenging.. but now beating the Queen of the Valkari.. oh boy that was so difficult
I have this problem with tons of games. I always try the hardest difficulty on any game and what that ends up happening is: The hardest difficulty is obviously going to be way to hard, especially if I'm starting a new game, BUT I can't lower the difficulty because then it feels like I'm cheating or missing out because I KNOW the game has more to offer. So I'm just stuck trying to beat a game on it hardest difficulty until I eventually get tired of losing and just stop playing the game entirely. It's a terrible cycle lmao.
After watching this i went and got each of the games on this list i didn't have just to beat all the bosses on it. Finally finished after like 9 months.
The hardest Amon for me was the Amon clan where you have to fight four different enemies one right after the other with the four playable characters, meaning you have to have mastered all four in order to survive and beat him All without losing once…Great
The lore is dark... I don't even kid about that. Plus, it's the most convoluted series I've ever come across in gaming. As an example of boss difficulties, there is a secret boss in every game. The game known as Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep has this one boss known as the mysterious figure. To put it simply, take the hardest boss of dark souls and make them human sized. He can spam AOE attacks that can definitely 2 shot you. To do this battle, you have to be atleast level 60 and you need to have certain support abilities as his attacks will definitely hit you and stun lock you into a combo. That fight is VERY fast paced.
Me fighting kaarstag with level 100 destruction fire spells in less than 30 seconds back in 2014: "that was a cool enemy" Didnt even know he was a boss
Stephen from smt4 apocalypse, yes it's technically a dlc fight but you don't expect to fight him and he is probably the only fight in the series that can beat demi-fiend in terms of difficulty.
He forgot to mention the real reason why demi fiend is near impossible to beat is because u have a set number of turns to finish him off before he uses his all confirm KO spell to end the battle. And one of the minions can constantly heal him throughout the battle to prolong the fight
That's the thing with these bosses, like Sigrun and Midir; when you beat them once, they sometimes can be replayed in a second run and seem much more easier cause of the knowledge of how to defeat them
@@damagon647 i dont know, to this day i still havent beat lingering will legit whilst yozora has easier tells to his attacks. Tho his dm phase i still have trouble with
@@vincevvn LW revenge value automatically counter you if you go too hard, so it is diff to time your attacks when u go too hard on him. Yozora saving grace is that he backs away after a damage phase which makes it tolerable for me. Both are difficult but Yozora has better tells than LW as he glows to signify certain attacks whilst LW is difficult to tell what he gonna do nxt
8:30 did anyone at Gameranx actually play the Kingdom hearts games instead of labeling them as "games for kids"? Terra is one of the main protagonists of Birth By Sleep.
Yea seems like it..its sad when people call KH just kids games. :/ Tbh half of the list could be KH secret bosses, Terra isnt the only hard one. Org 13, Unknown /Vanitas from BBS and Yozora from KH3 are all op aswell.. atleast on Critical xd
Seriously, try beating the final boss rush of KH1 at anything less than lvl 75. It's by all mean doable but definitely not for kids. Or Sephiroth in KH 1 or 2
The Valkyrie queen is still the hardest boss I've ever fought. Of course I haven't played many of the hardest bosses in gaming history, but out of the ones I've fought, Sigrun gets the award. It took me hours to beat her, an entire afternoon. I was obsessed with getting the platinum trophy, so giving up wasn't an option. When I finally ripped her wings, I erupted in a scream. I couldn't believe I had done it. I get chills just remembering.

Dark eater Midir was freaking difficult. A buddy of mine and I took like 30 tries to defeat him. He (friend) died just before the boss died, which left me terrified, but I won.

For the Skyrim one, it's a good thing mods exist. They might limit you being able to summon Karstaag to 3 times, but with mods, I'm sure you could remove that limit or raise it to such a high number that you can use it for a long time.
When SBFP streamed the Midir fight, it took so many tries that Pat eventually discovered the boss's first rush attack doesn't actually hit you if you just stand still upon landing in the arena. You'll still get rekt after that (unless you're one of those insane naked run madlads), but at least it's amusing to watch.
No lie Sigrun was one of the hardest damn bosses I've ever beaten. It took me 201 tries in GMGOW. I cried in happiness and it felt like a lifetime achievement

The only one of these that I've come across was Ozma at #2 and let me tell you that was the biggest accomplishment 13 year old me had in gaming up to that point. Hyped to see him on the list.
So you might have had a rule in place where you can only list one boss per game franchise or something but I definitely think yozora from kh3's Re:Mind DLC should've been on the list. He's a really difficult fight even if you're max level and have fully upgraded keyblades but there's also more factors that make him worse. For one he has a move that steals your keyblade if you get trapped in it, he can steal hp from you (I think), and if you have a kupo coin he can steal that with one of his attacks too
Katana Zero is a bonkers game. Falcon undersold like crazy. There are multiple time traveling stories, a torture scene, and multiple paths. A gem.
Typically he doesn't know what he's talking about so no surprise there.
It's also got a free dlc on the way
@@bacongod512 . have they made a new announcement recently? or is it the same on they said years ago
"You wanna save it for something special, so you probably wont use it" 💀
The curse of all gamers, special items and never using them. It's crazy watching my kids use up every limited potion and spell immediately.
I have like 200 full hp potions in skyrim and i dont think i ever Drank any outside the tutorial
That's pretty much how I am in every game. I'm playing trails of cold steel 4 right now and I have these dragon incense items that basically heal your party to full plus gives you these order points and I think i have over 10 and I'm in the final area 🤷♂️
The only times you may actually need Karstag is against the Ebony Warrior and Miraak (the latter only counts on Expert or above)
That's why I hate consumables that have limited uses in video games
I've never played the final fantasy series, but I've still heard the horror stories of ozma, and now that I look at it, kind of has a lovecraftian feel to it; unusual arbitrary method of finding it, yet it's presence can be chalked up to surrounding events, nonsensical form when you face it, and easily capable of leveling the world if it wanted.
Ozma was unstoppable until my game glitched and i finally beat him. But it was frustrating
I beat Ozma after numerous attempts and because his AI script is prone to punishing you for preparing against his attacks, I know what I did wrong in my failed attempts but not what I did right in my successful one.
Ozma. That brings back some memories. Took at least 10 attempts to beat him.
“Crew-max the invincible” I facepalmed so hard
That and he didn’t mention the GIANT purple spots on his body that when destroyed deal massive damage?
@@xNeoNxCyaN and the fect theres 2 spots that you just sit in where you basically cant be hit, even by the minions. piss easy boss imo

Another honorable mention to rodin in bayonetta 2. One of the toughest optional bosses I've fought. He was hard enough in bayonetta 1 but the devs cracked up the fight a lot for the sequel. And I love it.
Ah yes, the demi-friend
😫
I prefer the Semi-enemy.
Lol. My reaction when I realized who he was talking about
Don't forget the game plays the normal battle music
😂😂😂
“Demifriend” lmao
The awkward moment when the TH-camr GBG beat sigrum in 48 seconds on hardest difficulty while using his phone as the controller.. but as someone who has died to her more than any other enemy in that game she had it coming
ah yes when I finally completed the secret DEMI FRIEND social link in Persona 6 vs. the Soulless Army I felt so rewarded
And I bet someone had uploaded a no hit run of these bosses a week after the game came out
Even if TH-cam had existed, defeating Demi Fiend probably took more than a week. Even almost 20 years later there is still only *one* singular, insanely complex method that's accepted to give you half a chance so probably still more than a week.
i can guarantee that is impossible for the demi-friend at least
Absolute radiance also deserves a mention since you have to beat 41 bosses without dying in the pantheon of hallownest just to reach her
The psychiatrist was such a fun boss and the process of getting there really made that game stand out as one of my favorites
I beat that game but I don’t think I fought that boss
I fought all of those Valkyries on normal difficulty and let me tell you, Beating Sigrun after so many deaths was THE most satisfying thing I've done when playing God of War.
What about Faust from The Legend of Dragoon? You can't even access it until you find 50 unmarked items without any way of knowing that they are there, including some that can be impossible to get to if missed. On top of that, once you do fight him he is crazy strong.
Ahh the days back when you had great RPGs with several CDs for the Psx *__* Those were the days!
Deeply satisfying game, far worthier of a remake than what keeps getting the update treatment these days.
I thought Faust would be on here TBH
Glad you included Ozma. One of the most brutal fights and no one knows about it.
Another honorable mention from the souls series would be Darklurker from DS2. As tough as the fight was I actually enjoyed it a lot it remains as one of my favorites.
It's very hard if you go in blind without using thunder or fire. This would be a very good honorable mention since it is a very specific boss that appears out of nowhere if you didn't know beforehand.
I found Galamoth to be somewhat easy, i had an item equipped and it helped alot. Ozma also, my 1st time i beat him didn't know that "one" character was basically unkillable using it against Ozma.
Ah yes, the Toyota Tundra Crewmax. A very difficult secret boss.

@@generalyousif3640 I'm talking about the people who got it legally, I personally just finished the game, to tell the truth, I didn't know that data, there is no honor and glory if it was achieved in this way.
Of these bosses, I've beat Midir, Osma, and the SOTN boss.
I remember using some type of mist type spell against Midir... don't remember why though?
Osma was really hard to survive, but wasn't especially tough for a super boss, so if you had some ways to do max damage you could take him out quick. He had like 55k HP. Compared to a lot of FF bosses that have half a million or more, it wasn't much. Off the top of my head I can remember at least two ways I used for max damage, one was some kind of reflect combo using the black mage character, another was Zidane's limit break, I think.
As for the Symphony of the night boss, I remember steam rolling all the lategame SOTN bosses, including that one. I don't really think he deserved a place on this list, but maybe I had some especially good weapon I don't remember, lol.
#9 There was an unmarked quest chain involving giving different gemstones to animals, at the very end, when you gave the diamond to some goat they'd tell give you the power to fight him upclose and personal. From there it was actually pretty easy to beat him with at least Steiner and Freya...you could even use her trance to avoid Meteor with the whole party lol.
Truly, pronouncing "fiend" is the hardest hidden boss.
Haha, I think Falcon mispronounces things on purpose. It's like his schtick
The Demifriend.
He called Crawmerax "Krew-merax" lmao.
Automaton.
Kingdom hearts could have taken up this entire list yozora > terra armor.
Kingdom hearts is not for kids, it's a series for millennials who grow up watching disney.
Def not for kids. The story is way too confusing and the game is probably too hard as well. Also the story is just really depressing.
@@austonlincoln7757 I wouldn't say 'depressing' more like melo-dramatic. ahh Castle Oblivion/BBS ending :''') hey who's cutting onions

@@dynamicflashy Harder then Ishin change my mind
Because sekiro was lowkey easy once you got good at parries
Demon of hatred is so bad, like did they just sit down and say, this fucker should attack like a god damn Dark Souls boss. The pain
The updated Sekiro bosses are even more difficult lol
Killing Ozma was SOOOO satisfying. I'm pretty sure you had to give gems to certain versions of random monsters and find ALL of them to even hit him with a basic attack. Just another component to the fight that really made it difficult.
You forgot to mention when fighting crawmerax in borderlands 1, you have to shoot those purple spots that are on his back. Destroying those will decrease his health incredibly. The hard part is being able to get a shot on those. Just firing at him won't cut it, you have to shoot those purple dots if you're going to beat him.
Demon Of Hatred in Sekiro?! Ebrietas, Martyr Logarius in Bloodborne?! Those were some pretty cool, hard and secret bosses
Martyr Logarius was SUCH A PAIN. Ebreitas wasn’t too bad, though.
Wait, Logarius was suppose to be hard? I rolled the dude after 2 tríe
You guys had no problem with the Darkbeast Paarl?
@@riegen. he was pretty challenging as well
Demon of Hatred deserved to be in that list.
I loved fighting darkeater midir (even as a pure melee build) definitely the hardest fight for me in the whole dark souls series but still incredibly fun and intense
It's been quite a while, but I remember fighting Crawmerax. Like everyone, I had trouble at first. Eventually, me and a couple friends would run him until we had a few wins. I got a lucky pistol drop that shot several rounds at once, and coupled with Mordecai's skills, I got to the point where I could one-shot him.
That’s insane. I found a ledge towards the back where he won’t attack you if you crouch. You need a weapon that has bullets that ricochet off walls because when u do this he’ll stand still like he’s waiting for you so you need the ricochet bullets to hit the side of him not facing you. The only problem are his minions. Specifically the worm ones that rush you. They can still attack and if the worm ones hit you they’ll knock you off. Despite that i could usually solo him 80% of the time
I remember my hands shaking in disbelief for couple of minutes after beating Midir..what an endeavor!
I have never ever died to a boss as many times I did with Sigrun in the Give Me God of War difficulty. She is really unpredictable at times and the day I defeated her (well it was months actually) was nothing less than something I wanna shout out in my neighborhood out loud 😂
Ever played the original on Titan? Beating the minotaur lord was awesome, but I didn't finish it because the phase in the Ares fight where you have to protect your family is total bullshit
Beating Ozma as a kid is still one of my proudest achievements in gaming. Took me around 3 months of trying every day... God i miss that game
Those valkyries are actually sooo easy once you've beat them before but fighting them for the first time was agony
Midir: hard. Midir's second phase: good luck with your mental health.
Re: I had a way harder time against The Nameless King
Midir was hard, but once you learned his patterns it was way easier
I mean you can say that about any boss
But I never felt I needed to be 100% perfect or suuuuper buff to beat him.
Obviously my opinion
But I was just saying
@@davidwallace7543 honestly I don't how to compare both on first play, I bought the dlc only when I was ng+4, on that NG midir was way worse then nameless for me. But yup, you are right about the whole pattern stuff, I think that midir's size is what got me good 😂😂😂

Put it this way for Karstagg. When I fought him, I was SUPER OP. Even a legendary dragon on legendary difficulty was little more than a small nuisance to me. Even the Ebony Warrior took very little effort on my part. I had the strongest weapons and armor possible with the strongest enchantments possible, plus a maxed out conjuration stat with duel soul and summon Dramora lord. So strongest enchanted attack, strongest enchanted defense, and 2 of the strongest possible summon available. There wasn't much that could realistically put up any kind of fight against me. But when I fought Karstagg,I got that feeling of a fresh ass noob wandering into the wrong part of the map for the first time again.
Falcon: There's a whole convoluted backstory to the Keyblade graveyard.
Me: The whole Kingdom Hearts series is a convoluted backstory...
I had no idea that in SotN, the upside down portion of the castle was meant to be a secret. Or that galamoth was a hard boss. I guess it would depend how much grinding you did and your luck for loot prior. I think it was my 7th or 8th playthrough, I came across the crissaegrim.. it was the last time I played the game because it basically broke the game.

Yes! When I read the title and clicked on this video I immediately thought of Ozma. One of two secret bosses I couldn't beat in the final fantasy series, the other being Penance in FFX international. I feel like Penance should have been in this video, you had to have max luck (255) just to be able to hit the thing.
I'm having Vietnam flashbacks of fighting Sigrun on Give Me God of War😂
Ah yes, the Demifriend is the hardest secret boss in the famous Persona spin-off series Shin Megami Tensay.
FINAL FANTASY 9!!!! I'm so happy Ozma was mentioned cuz it feels like it's never talked about it as a hard boss fight. I remember being super high level, having the best weapons and just getting destroyed. I never did beat it.
Love to see Lord Farquaad in the first five seconds.
How about Orson Welles in the first .5??
You referring to Baldurs gate 2?
I would have to say that as a kid, the original Ruby and Emerald weapons from FF7 was so challenging.. but now beating the Queen of the Valkari.. oh boy that was so difficult

I couldn't beat Sigrun on hard difficulty, after a few hours decided to go down to normal but i felt incomplete
I have this problem with tons of games. I always try the hardest difficulty on any game and what that ends up happening is: The hardest difficulty is obviously going to be way to hard, especially if I'm starting a new game, BUT I can't lower the difficulty because then it feels like I'm cheating or missing out because I KNOW the game has more to offer. So I'm just stuck trying to beat a game on it hardest difficulty until I eventually get tired of losing and just stop playing the game entirely. It's a terrible cycle lmao.

What makes it not for kids?
100% a kiddie game.
The lore is dark... I don't even kid about that. Plus, it's the most convoluted series I've ever come across in gaming. As an example of boss difficulties, there is a secret boss in every game. The game known as Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep has this one boss known as the mysterious figure. To put it simply, take the hardest boss of dark souls and make them human sized. He can spam AOE attacks that can definitely 2 shot you. To do this battle, you have to be atleast level 60 and you need to have certain support abilities as his attacks will definitely hit you and stun lock you into a combo. That fight is VERY fast paced.
Me fighting kaarstag with level 100 destruction fire spells in less than 30 seconds back in 2014: "that was a cool enemy"

Stephen from smt4 apocalypse, yes it's technically a dlc fight but you don't expect to fight him and he is probably the only fight in the series that can beat demi-fiend in terms of difficulty.
He forgot to mention the real reason why demi fiend is near impossible to beat is because u have a set number of turns to finish him off before he uses his all confirm KO spell to end the battle. And one of the minions can constantly heal him throughout the battle to prolong the fight

I beat Sigrun on gmgow mode and I cannot begin to explain how awesome it felt to tear off those wings.
That's the thing with these bosses, like Sigrun and Midir; when you beat them once, they sometimes can be replayed in a second run and seem much more easier cause of the knowledge of how to defeat them
