@@crisisamonginfinitedarthsa4220 Yea I mean I think they go through them all in one go other than Fury and Boss unless you also want to count The Sorrow as a boss which I wouldn't and plus they would need to have known of the trick to even getting past that beforehand.
Only boss i struggled on in souls borne is the final boss of 3, and shadows of yarnham.. but sekiro is a different story... wow I'm bad at sekiro but somehow decent I'd even say kinda good at other From gamds
It's gotta be where Sanguine in disguise has you mooching all over Skyrim chasing after his whereabouts. He makes you get engaged to a Hag-Raven against your will. The whole thing's hilarious.
"There is no secret weakness to Father Gascoigne" >Is literally one of the very few bosses with a secret weakness. Should've just gone with the Orphan of Kos, or Ludvig, or Gherman. You'd mostly get a bunch of nods and I agree's
mine is KH 1 Riku. I swear I had that damn cutscene memorized by the 10th time.. " I Wont let you have Kairi's heart"!!!! Had nightmares about it!! lol
Cherie Barbee I know, I meant on PS3 and PS4. I cannot ever watch that cutscene again because of flashbacks of young me watching that, what felt like, 1000x before I finally beat Riku
Right!? I mean, Orphan of Kos, for example, was a pretty challenging boss, it took me a lot of tries, but hell... Laurence was DISGUSTING. In my humble opinion I think he is the toughest boss in the game, for all the wrong reasons of course. To be fair, I bought the dlc a bit late, being my character a new game ++ hunter. The creatures were very scaled and so was Laurence. But still, I think he is not very well desingned, I really felt desparate dealing with it. Lots and lots of tries, I even had to summon a dude to help me out. Thank god he is dead now.
Mysterious Figure (Young Xehanort) from BBS was worse for me personally. At least with Lingering Will I understood the idea of how to beat him and was only frustrated at myself for not pulling it off.... the Mysterious Figure fight just suuucked. 😩
I never understood why everyone freaked out about lingering will. First time is terrifying dont get me wrong. Once you try out combos and figure put what triggers what it becomes pretty easy. Mysterious Figure? Yeah I'm never beating it unless I'm using surge attacks
When I played Dark Souls for the first time in 2012 I must have died at least 20 times to Ornstein and Smough and I had no internet for multiplayer at the time so I could summon somebody in I had to figure out how to defeat each Boss by myself and after almost four hundred hours I beat Dark Souls today I know the game inside and out and I could beat the game in under 16 hours cuz sometimes I like taking my time to grind to level up what's could take a couple hours but I am able to play thru the game at level 1
MY Friday never officially starts until I hear “oh you’ve caught me” from my fav youtuber edit: omg thanks for all the likes I’ve never had this before
True. I even feel weird when he starts a Friday Feature with some other words or a joke. If that happens, I’ll have to make a ”hello, you’ve caught me”-line myself 😂
I really appreciate your putting Father Gascoigne on this list. I was stuck on him for a year and a half, and I can identify with everything you said in the entry, from mastering the short area leading up to Gascoigne, to the quiet acceptance of your victory over him. Thank you.
i dont believe that is possible! its whole designe was build on the foundation that you do need the help of others to beat it, wasnt that the point of it? sacrificing everything you have done so someone else can beat the game and also be confronted with the same choice. most unique and awestruck moment i have every experienced in a game!!!!
I haven't played this game yet its in my backlog of shame. Do I need somebody else to help me finish the game? Because if so it can stay in my backlog honestly.
Pony Montana Its not on-line feature in a clasic sense and the whole game is singleplayer so you dont need (and I’m pretty sure that you even cant have) any help from others....... just play it and you will see - it's a pretty unique feature (and its only in one of 5 posible endings)
@@kermit8827 50+ tries for me the first time a fought against him. Had to grind for blood echoes like a son of a bitch to finally have a decent chance to defeat him.
For me, it's Final fantasy 10 the first time you fight Seymour. I died so many times....then I realized I never learned how to use the sphere grid and I was still level one. It's a miracle I even got that far
Isshin was TOO easy, i mean with a sword, a spear, a gun, 3 phases... they ahould have made the fight a tad more difficult. like, give him a flamethrower, and another phase where a godzilla's foot tries to stomp you.
Lemmon Boy for some reason Sword Saint Isshin was really easy for me but Guardian ape and demon of hatred were hard. I think 🤔 it’s because I find smaller targets easier idk.
First boss that popped into my mind was Seymour Flux from Final Fantasy X. I fought that boss so many times I memorized word for word the dialogue from the cutscene before you fight him.
Still surprised Sephiroth shows up on such lists, as if Final mix doesn't exist or something. Cheesed Lingering Will on ps3 but swore to fight him fairly someday and then the ps4 version came out XD. Was a great battle, only his curse attacks where an instant loose for me :(
Final fantasy x, Seymour on the mountain! I spent hours grinding in the thunder plains to level everyone up, and make sure all characters and aeons had full limit gauges!
10:19 There is in fact 2 ways to make Father Gascoigne fight easier. On the first half of the fight you can use the tombstones as cover an attack him from behind the cover with the extended form of your weapon while he is stuck behind them, and during the second half you can use the music box that you obtain from an optional quest to stun him twice for a couple of seconds.
Sigrun The Valkyrie - Jeez... she was one tough fight on 'Give Me A Challenge' difficulty. Literally controller breakingly, frustratingly difficult. Not sure I even want to find out about her on 'Give Me God Of War' difficulty!
@@mesothelimoa341 well it seems I've learned something new about Sekiro and I thought I knew and did everything in that game. Now I gotta see it for myself.
Kingdom Hearts 3 Critical Mode on its own could end up on this list. Hell, when the TUTORIAL DARKSIED boss fight keeps you in the tutorial for at least 15 minutes you know you're in for a rough ride. And yes I did misspell Darkside with the DC character because that's what it is, you charging at Darkseid with a spork and feeling those Omega Beams blast your junk into oblivion for daring to defy him, Darkseid is.
Very fun boss to coop tho, I like breaking his knees with Logarius' Wheel and then finishing him with a bone-ashed Cannon shot to the face. Wait until you find a dungeon with a wandering boss, I was jumped by a Blood Starved Beast in a pitch black tunnel once, I nearly dumped in my pants.
One hit? Put on attire that has high fire defence, and equip fire defence runes. Unless you're talking about a cursed Watchdog then yeah, he'll probably kill you in one hit no matter what you do, lol.
I fought the Cursed Watchdog and it was a very hellish (pun intended) fight. Can't beat it using melee weapons so I had to use Simon's Bowblade to kill it. Bad times.
Ahhhhhh. Tough bosses. I've had my share. One of many would be the twins on Persona 5. Each one doing something different. Not a boss fight to take lightly. Bosses that turn you into a zombie trying to beat it. Thanks Rob. ♥️♥️♥️
My favorite thing about the bosses in bloodborne is that different people have trouble with different bosses. Personally I found Gascoine and Blood Crazed Beast on the easier side while I hear most people struggle with them, but on the other hand I'm currently struggling with Vicor Amelia while alot of my friends say it's easy. First Souls game and I'm loving every moment!
Fighting the Valkyrie Queen in God Of War over and over again, each time where she only had 2 small bars of health left or the glitch where pressing square for Atreus to revive you with a resurrection stone didn’t work, even though you had one. That was a dark day...
The one boss that made me raging with fury was the Darklurker in Dark Souls 2. Usually I am quite relaxed while I play games, but this was different... I had to farm effigies to go back to the fight!
I generally make faith builds on souls so Lurker wasnt that bad for me, Ancient Dragon, he's different. I consider myself to be truly brilliant at souls games and especially DS2 but that boss only has to stand on you once and it's done. The amount of times Ive had him right down and then he catches me with the back of his foot and it's over...
Rob I'm sure you can appreciate this but for me one that comes to mind for me is Gurlugon from one of the Snake Tales in Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance, Substance is actually one of my favourite games of all time and I loved the snake tale with Gurlugon even though I found the tales quite hard as I was so used to playing with the radar in easy difficulties but I loved this particular Snake Tale. It was genius. It took me many many attempts both when I was a kid and again as an adult playing the HD collection before I finally bested him :)
Good luck with the platinum Rob some of those Oxides Ghosts ESPECIALLY DRAGON MINES are absolute hell. I am glad and rather surprised I was able to do it myself and get the platinum. Definitely one of my proudest.
The thing with Sephiroph in KH1, once you get 2 of that ability that gives you mana when you take dmg, you can just spam strike raid and auto-win. (was a huge disappoint for me to find out this cheap way to negate the hardest boss). You spam strike raid (during which you're invincible) till you're out of mana, let him hit you once or twice, heal, and start spamming again
For me it was Roxas kh2 final mix. Good grief. I was underleveled by like 20. It was rough. Like 40 or so attempts later younger self finally submitted to grinding.
@@Khjaden97 I was slightly annyoed at Roxas.... after this battle in final mix I hated him... -_- Like why are you even here? Didn't you allready returned to sora?
Melbu Frama in Legend of Dragoon...Argh 20 or so years later I still have flashbacks. The spider robot at the end of the Dolet mission in FFVIII was incredibly hard too especially since I was 12 but it felt so rewarding to finally destroy it and return to the ship !
@@xthax9718 Have you seen Fireb0rns teaser for that modded pantheon? Its like all of the modded bosses combined into one pantheon. And if a boss isnt modded, another mod is used to make the arena hell.
i had serious trouble with plenty of Kingdom Hearts 1 bosses. Clayton, Cerburous, the Guard Armor(1) and Ansem as Riku. ive still got all of those un-skippable cutscenes involuntarily memorised.
I personally didn't have trouble with Gascoigne as much as I did with other bosses like blood starved beast, but I can see why, there's still a low trophy rate for beating him, he really is a challenge to test how dedicated to the game you are, a testing ground kinda. So Gascoigne does deserve a spot for basically shooing players away xD
Rob i have been wondering for a while what JRPG to play next since im a big fan of the genre. so i figured i'd ask what i should play, i have played ni no kuni 2, de persona series, the trails series and i've tried playing final fantasy 15 however it didnt quite resonate with me so i stopped, maybe i should power thru and give it some more time? what are your thoughts?
1st try but I did watch a youtube video because I was told even with knowing their moves it'd be near impossible. DS3 the dragon lancer guy took me about 10 tries and the prince took me about 8 million tries and two days. Second day I got him third try though.
Like I said before, I remember when I beat Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts. I thought I was going to jump for joy. That fight took every bit of concentration, let alone my want to even play any other video game (let alone more KH) for the longest time...
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: The Unknown with Terra There was a Bug(?) that when you had not slotet the normal slide than he would do that damn killer move almost everytime and took foreever to figure that out
Man I played the original CTR last night for the first time in a while. And it really made my right hand sting. Racing games can make my hand hurt after too long.
I agree with Rob. Sephiroth was WAAYY harder in KH1 than KH2. In 2, you had reaction commands and growth abilities from Drive forms to give you an edge. Not to mention in the Remix, you've also got Limit Form.
Some of mine: So many Devil May Cry bosses. Especially in the first game (Phantom WHY) Also Gulp from Spyro Reignited while trying to get the no-damage skill point
It took me forever to beat Phantom! Hardest DMC boss for me was Vergil, final boss of DMC3... my gosh, one of the few bosses I never beat. Sephiroth (every battle of Sephiroth in every game) is easy for me to beat, but Vergil is impossible...
I didn't find phantom that hard. I just went into devil trigger while being on top of him and began slashing. But it was the collection I played, and they may have made it easier.
That description of the Sigrund fight is eerily similar to mine. So frustrating yet so rewarding in terms of skill. Although I did grind my way to success.
@@nathanaeld.striker7191 No, but a Kingdom Hearts game being easy on it's standard difficulty is already bad. Critical wasn't there on launch, so no, didn't play it.
I remember farming Sephiroth to get to level 99 back in the day in the original KH on PS2. Never got all the way, got bored at level 93 or something like that. What the hell was I thinking, playing the hardest boss over and over again? You have too much time as a kid/teenager.
I died I don’t know how many times to the Valkyrie that screams “Valhalla!” And then slams down on you before taking out most of your life. And the reason that move is bullshit is because it’s an insta-kill, even if Artreus has a revive stone. Hell, it lets you push the button and the animation of him running in to save you starts to play, but then the game fades to your last checkpoint. The other boss that killed me well over 50 times was Grim Matchstick from Cuphead on my Switch. From 10 PM on Friday to 4 AM Saturday, I died and died and died and died to that damn dragon. When I finally beat him, I about cried, recorded the win, and passed out right there in my chair
I'm really surprised, that with the final mix version out for so long, that Sephiroth is still the one, showing up in these lists... like what the heck? Okay, you can cheese the guy, but even that trick is not easy to pull off. (still recommend fighting him fairly) And then there are Eraqus Armor, No heart and mysterious Figur from birth by sleep... -_-
@@toongrowner1 yeah the only secret bosses I've beat in the series are Data Axel, KH2 sephiroth, and Dark Inferno critical mode. Not gonna touch the other for a while.
@@bellringer53 I beaten the rest, but only cause I just have to platinum my favourite games. ^^; Certainly recommend you looking up guides (there are some pretty good ones here on youtube, how pretty much go into every single detail. Have discorvered movements and patterns I never noticed before.) and preparing your self mentally for these battles... also level 99, anything belowe is just a waste of time.
@@toongrowner1 yeah it's in the plans but I have a large backlog of games to play, and I havent broken a controller yet in rage and I want to keep it that way so I'm pacing myself, no need to rush it.
@@bellringer53 Don't need to, I allways took my time before I was going for them and then was fighting like 2 or 3 for a day. I highly recommend you the guides from Tru-Man Tech Gaming, he goes into every single detail, every single attack and how to best react to them. very very helpfull. For your controll, lay out a lot of soft stuff, like pillows or something around you, also something that does not bounce too much ^^;
As A kid on the original ctr I remember being smart enough to wait for the big jump with oxide to use a missile, it was just a case of restarting until it worked which doesnt take many attempts :-)
You know in the sephiroth fight once you are far enough in the game to farm Elixers you can use those to heal yourself back to full and keep on fighting right?
The fight against Sephiroth in kingdom hearts, though one of the hardest boss fights I have experienced to date, has got to be one of the greatest of all time. I can't wait to fight him in the Final Fantasy VII remake.
KH Sephiroth was definitely one of the most intense fights ever. If you don’t know what you’re doing, then you get wiped out almost immediately even with max levels and ultima weapon.
If I want a video game commentator that has the essence and charm of Sir David Attenborough and complete essence of sarcasm, I go to this guy and watch him every Friday.
Nightmare King grim (hollow knight) is the boss i died to more than any other boss in any game i ever played. But the sound track was so amazing i never lost my cool and finally beat him.
Demon of hatred from sekiro had me beat for a couple weeks. On the bright side, I now know his moveset so well that he never neat me again. That also happened to me in Dark Souls 3 with the Dancer of the Boreal Valley TL;DR Demon of Hatred and Dancer of the Boreal Valley
Won't lie both him and Isshin Sword Saint for me. In fact at one point... And this may sound crazy, i decided i did not know the mechanics enough at that stage and could not complete the game. What did I do? I reset the entire game, learned the mechanics better and defeated Isshin and Demon in like, 5 or less tries. Maybe I didn't need to hard reset but I think it genuinely helped me.

I still didn't beat him
Very fun boss to coop tho, I like breaking his knees with Logarius' Wheel and then finishing him with a bone-ashed Cannon shot to the face. Wait until you find a dungeon with a wandering boss, I was jumped by a Blood Starved Beast in a pitch black tunnel once, I nearly dumped in my pants.
One hit? Put on attire that has high fire defence, and equip fire defence runes. Unless you're talking about a cursed Watchdog then yeah, he'll probably kill you in one hit no matter what you do, lol.
Agreed! The cursed watchdog was my most hated boss, the one true challenge between me and the Platinum. Took me over 30 tries
I fought the Cursed Watchdog and it was a very hellish (pun intended) fight. Can't beat it using melee weapons so I had to use Simon's Bowblade to kill it. Bad times.
dat dog
Ahhhhhh. Tough bosses. I've had my share. One of many would be the twins on Persona 5. Each one doing something different. Not a boss fight to take lightly. Bosses that turn you into a zombie trying to beat it. Thanks Rob. ♥️♥️♥️
Uncharted 2 Lazarevich was no joke either. I know that boss fight is what’s stopping my friend from the platinum.
I cheated to get past him. XD Hung from a ledge where he couldn't get me and peeled away at his health.
I did all on crushing and well after my neighbor doesn't like me😂
Mardybda 1 I completed every single Uncharted on crushing except Uncharted Lost Legacy. They were INSANELY hard but the challenge was fun
ThatguyQ u do know they couple glitches in the fight. To kill him easy
Dragon King UK really lost legacy was easy on crushing wow
You know what boss was WAAAAY harder than Isshin the sword saint or Kos...Morgan Freeman from South Park!!!!..OMG he's difficult😫😫😫
I counted every time Sigrun killed me on NG+ Give me God of War difficulty, 147 before I defeated her. Best feeling ever
My favorite thing about the bosses in bloodborne is that different people have trouble with different bosses. Personally I found Gascoine and Blood Crazed Beast on the easier side while I hear most people struggle with them, but on the other hand I'm currently struggling with Vicor Amelia while alot of my friends say it's easy. First Souls game and I'm loving every moment!
Ape Escape getting some love 😌 this franchise needs a remaster/reboot. I spent so much time playing soccer in ape Escape 2
Fully agree... well except the soccer thing, but I don't like Soccer in general ^^;
Fighting the Valkyrie Queen in God Of War over and over again, each time where she only had 2 small bars of health left or the glitch where pressing square for Atreus to revive you with a resurrection stone didn’t work, even though you had one. That was a dark day...
The one boss that made me raging with fury was the Darklurker in Dark Souls 2. Usually I am quite relaxed while I play games, but this was different... I had to farm effigies to go back to the fight!
I generally make faith builds on souls so Lurker wasnt that bad for me, Ancient Dragon, he's different. I consider myself to be truly brilliant at souls games and especially DS2 but that boss only has to stand on you once and it's done. The amount of times Ive had him right down and then he catches me with the back of his foot and it's over...
Rob I'm sure you can appreciate this but for me one that comes to mind for me is Gurlugon from one of the Snake Tales in Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance, Substance is actually one of my favourite games of all time and I loved the snake tale with Gurlugon even though I found the tales quite hard as I was so used to playing with the radar in easy difficulties but I loved this particular Snake Tale. It was genius. It took me many many attempts both when I was a kid and again as an adult playing the HD collection before I finally bested him :)
I beat Gascoigne and, for me, that was beating the game. I retired from FromSoft.
The Orphan fight was, however, an absolute blast to *watch*.
Good luck with the platinum Rob some of those Oxides Ghosts ESPECIALLY DRAGON MINES are absolute hell. I am glad and rather surprised I was able to do it myself and get the platinum. Definitely one of my proudest.
Sigrun took me hours to beat. I’m so glad I never have to do that again.
on give me god of war?
The thing with Sephiroph in KH1, once you get 2 of that ability that gives you mana when you take dmg, you can just spam strike raid and auto-win. (was a huge disappoint for me to find out this cheap way to negate the hardest boss). You spam strike raid (during which you're invincible) till you're out of mana, let him hit you once or twice, heal, and start spamming again
The boss Friday Features are my favourite
I was stuck on Orphan of Kos for so long. When I finally did it, I screamed. Then proceeded to do it first time on NG+.
For me it was Roxas kh2 final mix. Good grief. I was underleveled by like 20. It was rough. Like 40 or so attempts later younger self finally submitted to grinding.
Andrew Scribner limit form was literally made for that fight 😂
@@Khjaden97 I was slightly annyoed at Roxas.... after this battle in final mix I hated him... -_- Like why are you even here? Didn't you allready returned to sora?
Melbu Frama in Legend of Dragoon...Argh 20 or so years later I still have flashbacks. The spider robot at the end of the Dolet mission in FFVIII was incredibly hard too especially since I was 12 but it felt so rewarding to finally destroy it and return to the ship !
My toughest Boss was MGSV episode 50. I died like 100 times. It took me 4ever to complete that mission.
I got the Platinum on CTR. Dragon Mines, Tiny Temple and Hyper Spaceway were insane!
"bosses that have killed you at least 50 times"

@@alextheconfuddled8983 *absolute radiance* (i cant even beat pantheon 3....)
@@xthax9718 Have you seen Fireb0rns teaser for that modded pantheon? Its like all of the modded bosses combined into one pantheon. And if a boss isnt modded, another mod is used to make the arena hell.
i had serious trouble with plenty of Kingdom Hearts 1 bosses. Clayton, Cerburous, the Guard Armor(1) and Ansem as Riku. ive still got all of those un-skippable cutscenes involuntarily memorised.
Orphan of kos is in the list, my soul can rest now
Um, he said it wasn't on the list. Father gascoigne was. (Unless that was sarcastic then I apologise for the lack of understanding).
Except he isn't. Don't worry, I was fooled too.
@@varunchaturvedi2581 i usually just skip this kind of videos to see the list so i thought OoK was in here lol
Rafael Brito I didn’t even kill him. I simply sold my disc and pretended that I finished the game.
I personally didn't have trouble with Gascoigne as much as I did with other bosses like blood starved beast, but I can see why, there's still a low trophy rate for beating him, he really is a challenge to test how dedicated to the game you are, a testing ground kinda. So Gascoigne does deserve a spot for basically shooing players away xD
The bit about the Valkyrie's felt like an attack on me as a gamer...🤣
That damned Fireclaw you fight underground in the Horizon Zero Dawn DLC, that thing killed me soooo many times in so many undignified ways.
Valkyrie Queen was one of thee most intense battles ever in my gaming history...most deaths, probably Isshin Sword Saint
Did you forget that hesitate, and you lose?
sigrun
@@عبدالله_الشمراني-1 I know. I was referring to isshin
Rob i have been wondering for a while what JRPG to play next since im a big fan of the genre. so i figured i'd ask what i should play, i have played ni no kuni 2, de persona series, the trails series and i've tried playing final fantasy 15 however it didnt quite resonate with me so i stopped, maybe i should power thru and give it some more time? what are your thoughts?
Dragon Slayer Ornstein and Executioner Smough - Dark Souls
I still have nightmares!!!
Took me 3 times but I summoned 2 players still my favorite DS boss fight
2nd try luckily
1st try but I did watch a youtube video because I was told even with knowing their moves it'd be near impossible. DS3 the dragon lancer guy took me about 10 tries and the prince took me about 8 million tries and two days. Second day I got him third try though.
Like I said before, I remember when I beat Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts. I thought I was going to jump for joy. That fight took every bit of concentration, let alone my want to even play any other video game (let alone more KH) for the longest time...
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: The Unknown with Terra
There was a Bug(?) that when you had not slotet the normal slide than he would do that damn killer move almost everytime and took foreever to figure that out
Man I played the original CTR last night for the first time in a while. And it really made my right hand sting. Racing games can make my hand hurt after too long.
Father Gascoigne "no weaknesses"?!
Clearly you have never got the music box from his daughter.
*Or used a gun
10:25 lol there literally is, it’s the music box but I understand many quit at this boss. Great vid 👍
Persona 5 Justine and Caroline boss fight, Max leveled I died every time. It took me 6 hours to finally beat them
I agree with Rob. Sephiroth was WAAYY harder in KH1 than KH2. In 2, you had reaction commands and growth abilities from Drive forms to give you an edge. Not to mention in the Remix, you've also got Limit Form.
Some of mine:
So many Devil May Cry bosses. Especially in the first game (Phantom WHY)
Also Gulp from Spyro Reignited while trying to get the no-damage skill point
SilverBolt1159 omg yes! I had to “cheat” and wait for the upgraded fire you get at the very end
It took me forever to beat Phantom! Hardest DMC boss for me was Vergil, final boss of DMC3... my gosh, one of the few bosses I never beat. Sephiroth (every battle of Sephiroth in every game) is easy for me to beat, but Vergil is impossible...
Greg Moldovan Vergil was an absolute pain
I didn't find phantom that hard. I just went into devil trigger while being on top of him and began slashing. But it was the collection I played, and they may have made it easier.
@@gregmoldovan5921 That Vergil fight is my favorite boss battle ever xD
That description of the Sigrund fight is eerily similar to mine. So frustrating yet so rewarding in terms of skill. Although I did grind my way to success.
For me it's almost all end game Kingdom Hearts bosses, because as much as I love those games, I'm really bad at them.
Kingdom Hearts 3 was way too easy though...
@@WH250398 Have you done Critical Mode yet?
@@WH250398 haven't played that on yet.
@@nathanaeld.striker7191 No, but a Kingdom Hearts game being easy on it's standard difficulty is already bad. Critical wasn't there on launch, so no, didn't play it.
@@WH250398 Still give it a try though, it's still a pretty decent game... yeah there where some dissapointments but I still enjoyed the hell out of it
I remember farming Sephiroth to get to level 99 back in the day in the original KH on PS2. Never got all the way, got bored at level 93 or something like that. What the hell was I thinking, playing the hardest boss over and over again? You have too much time as a kid/teenager.
I died I don’t know how many times to the Valkyrie that screams “Valhalla!” And then slams down on you before taking out most of your life. And the reason that move is bullshit is because it’s an insta-kill, even if Artreus has a revive stone. Hell, it lets you push the button and the animation of him running in to save you starts to play, but then the game fades to your last checkpoint.
The other boss that killed me well over 50 times was Grim Matchstick from Cuphead on my Switch. From 10 PM on Friday to 4 AM Saturday, I died and died and died and died to that damn dragon. When I finally beat him, I about cried, recorded the win, and passed out right there in my chair
Everything Rob says while describing the fight with Sigrun I have experienced, word for word.
I feel like Lingering Will should have been here instead, but Rob more then likely hasnt even attempted it.
I'm really surprised, that with the final mix version out for so long, that Sephiroth is still the one, showing up in these lists... like what the heck?
Okay, you can cheese the guy, but even that trick is not easy to pull off. (still recommend fighting him fairly)
And then there are Eraqus Armor, No heart and mysterious Figur from birth by sleep... -_-
@@toongrowner1 yeah the only secret bosses I've beat in the series are Data Axel, KH2 sephiroth, and Dark Inferno critical mode. Not gonna touch the other for a while.
@@bellringer53 I beaten the rest, but only cause I just have to platinum my favourite games. ^^;
Certainly recommend you looking up guides (there are some pretty good ones here on youtube, how pretty much go into every single detail. Have discorvered movements and patterns I never noticed before.) and preparing your self mentally for these battles... also level 99, anything belowe is just a waste of time.
@@toongrowner1 yeah it's in the plans but I have a large backlog of games to play, and I havent broken a controller yet in rage and I want to keep it that way so I'm pacing myself, no need to rush it.
@@bellringer53 Don't need to, I allways took my time before I was going for them and then was fighting like 2 or 3 for a day.
I highly recommend you the guides from Tru-Man Tech Gaming, he goes into every single detail, every single attack and how to best react to them. very very helpfull.
For your controll, lay out a lot of soft stuff, like pillows or something around you, also something that does not bounce too much ^^;
Great video
Those angels in God Of war a pretty tough and don't get me started with the alien isolation.
Mysterious Figure/Young Xehanort in Kingdom Hearts BBS....never again...I actually broke my Square button on my PSP from trying to beat him
SenAkari I hated that boss. I spammed Balloonra so many times but that move that reduced you to one hit dead always got me.
@@Chrisjamesbrown I could only win with Ventus due to his speed.
As A kid on the original ctr I remember being smart enough to wait for the big jump with oxide to use a missile, it was just a case of restarting until it worked which doesnt take many attempts :-)
Bloodborne Amygdala from cursed defiled dungeon. Sekiro Ishin the sword saint. Almost quit the platinum trophy. Almost!
10:52 "Numbed state of determined repetition" - amazing choice of words. Very applicable for all SoulsBorne games haha
Ugh... that God of War Valkyrie Queen riled me up something ridiculous. That difficulty spike was nuts, even on the easiest difficulty.
You know in the sephiroth fight once you are far enough in the game to farm Elixers you can use those to heal yourself back to full and keep on fighting right?
Can't lie Sigrun was hard and when i finally killed her like 89 tries i felt like i killed a Dark Souls Boss
On GMGOW she’s harder than any of those bosses. Took me hours to finally beat her.
Tony Rojas I wouldn’t say she is harder than any of the dark souls bosses,but she was harder than most of them
@@alexprospero5816 lol any of those bosses? I don't think so.
The fight against Sephiroth in kingdom hearts, though one of the hardest boss fights I have experienced to date, has got to be one of the greatest of all time. I can't wait to fight him in the Final Fantasy VII remake.
After I beat sigrun once and replayed the game I got her first try on new game plus
KH Sephiroth was definitely one of the most intense fights ever. If you don’t know what you’re doing, then you get wiped out almost immediately even with max levels and ultima weapon.
Lawrence annihilated me in Bloodborne the old hunters
If I want a video game commentator that has the essence and charm of Sir David Attenborough and complete essence of sarcasm, I go to this guy and watch him every Friday.
My choice?
Dr. Kahl's Robot from Cuphead. I never want to see him again.
Cuphead is not on ps4
Otherwise it should be on the list
@@artvandeIay cuphead is in fact on the ps4 ....
@@GregTheAlien07 it wasn't when i posted the comment.
The Valkyrie queen was a absolute pain lol but I did end up getting god of war 4 platinum though so I’m happy
Personally I thought that Sword Saint Isshin was harder than the Demon of Hatred 🤷♂️
Nightmare King grim (hollow knight) is the boss i died to more than any other boss in any game i ever played. But the sound track was so amazing i never lost my cool and finally beat him.
Demon of hatred from sekiro had me beat for a couple weeks. On the bright side, I now know his moveset so well that he never neat me again. That also happened to me in Dark Souls 3 with the Dancer of the Boreal Valley
TL;DR Demon of Hatred and Dancer of the Boreal Valley
Won't lie both him and Isshin Sword Saint for me. In fact at one point... And this may sound crazy, i decided i did not know the mechanics enough at that stage and could not complete the game. What did I do? I reset the entire game, learned the mechanics better and defeated Isshin and Demon in like, 5 or less tries. Maybe I didn't need to hard reset but I think it genuinely helped me.
The bosses that took away my sanity further down than logicaly possible were Sam and Armstrond in MGR:Revengence
Of course you had a hard time with Armstrong. He played college ball you know?
The Doctor Who episode Rob is referring to is called, "Heaven Sent" and can easily be watched as a stand alone episode. I highly recommend it.
Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls...
Just no :(
You were spot on about the Valkyrie fight, 50 fights failed and success on first go the next day. Luck changes overnight.
