Vulture Makes a List of their Hardest Bosses in Video Games - Sensationalist Headlines

Why isn't Kela de thaym from warframe on there? That is by far one of the hardest yet still fair bosses I've come across.

"100. Bowser 64" What?

[QUOTE=Zeos;52720799]... Skolas isn't even the hardest boss in Destiny. Also Fume Knight over Sir Alonne? What?[/QUOTE] Fume is the hardest if you're a total shithead and don't skewer the healing witches

lists like these are dumb anyways and caring about them is like caring about whatever article buzzfeed shits out on a daily basis

I swear this list is just them google searching "list of video game bosses".

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;52720825]Seriously though why is a Destiny boss at the top spot? Pretty sure Borderlands had tougher bullet sponges.[/QUOTE] IIRC with Skolas you have to defuse short timed little bombs that spawn all over the arena, all while being pinned down by massive groups of respawning mobs and ducking his artillery fire and trying to manage ammo, it's pretty tough but I don't think I'd call it anything near the toughest boss because 90% of the losses are from someone on the team making a dumb mistake

[QUOTE=Helix Snake;52720954]What is Dark Link doing on there, he's not even the hardest boss in that piss-easy game. [editline]26th September 2017[/editline] I beat Manus on my fourth try, and Fume Knight took me like 30 tries.[/QUOTE] If you didn't clear out the Fume Knight's arena gimmicks first, maybe. But if you didn't, then that's entirely your fault. Boss-wise, Fume's attacks are significantly more telegraphed than Manus', not to mention he attacks at an incredibly slow pace. I remember Manus taking me like 15+ tries while Fume took me like, 3.

Sure pick Vanilla C'thun over say Kel'Thuzad who went 4 months without being downed in a raid that almost nobody was even able to get into until after TBC was released, then in TBC you had Archimond who nobody ever saw because of the rediculous atunement quest chain that you had to get 40 people through plus extras just to get a raid into mount hyjal [editline]26th September 2017[/editline] [t]http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/2/20/WoWRaids.png/revision/latest?cb=20070207064601[/t] this or the ledge in wailing caverns are the hardest bosses ever to be put into any video game

[QUOTE=JohnnyOnFlame;52721088] Fucking Psycho Mantis is a hard boss? It's only [sp] shooting up some statues for fuck sake [/sp][/QUOTE] I think that requiring the player to figure out a meta puzzle in a way that the player would never reasonably figure out on the first attempt(s) makes it qualify as being fairly difficult. [editline]27th September 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeos;52721453]What the fuck this quest chain why the fuck would you do this[/QUOTE] When a game is as huge as WoW, if you want to keep some things truly difficult in a way that can't be beaten by slamming your face into [generic mob] and that very few players will ever actually achieve, that's a way to do it. Things feel less legendary when every tenth dude in a town has done it.

[QUOTE=TheHydra;52720852]sephiroth from KH2 at number 8? wasn't he a lot harder in KH1?[/QUOTE] Not only that, but the HD re-release finally brought over the formerly-Japan-only Final Mix version that added more super bosses and post-game content. Sephiroth has absolutely nothing on the Data fights or the Lingering Sentiment, the latter of which is considered one of the most difficult (without being absolutely retardedly bullshit) bonus bosses in the entire series. Saying Sephiroth in KH2 is hard over anything else in that game or by today's knowledge of the series is like saying they haven't touched the game since like 2006.

pretty shocked to see orphan of Kos wasn't #1, or even top #5 I have [I]never[/I] seen anything that hard in a game, and I'm not even one of those guys who goes on about souls games being overly difficult, I think bloodborne is probably the easiest but holy fucking shit the orphan is something else legitmately did not think I would ever beat that DLC.

He wasn't THAT bad compared to say, 3 of the 4 tempest keep bosses, or like half of sunwell. The attunements in TBC weren't that bad either imo, it was something you'd be doing anyways as it gave you access to newer and better dungeons. The main problem with it was for alt accounts, and people who joined late. In TBC they didn't have catchup methods like they do now, so you'd have to go through raids no one wanted to do anymore.

[QUOTE=TheHydra;52720852]sephiroth from KH2 at number 8? wasn't he a lot harder in KH1?[/QUOTE] i couldn't even get close to beating him in kh2, but i was also ignorant of the games core mechanics at the time [editline]27th September 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=TacticalBacon;52720906]I like how number 65 doesn't specify which Hitler, are we talking Wolfenstein 3D, Persona 2, Sniper Elite, what?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]In the third and final chapter of Wolfenstein 3D, you are out to kill Hitler himself.[/QUOTE] ?

[QUOTE=elfbarf;52720824]C'Thun was only the 'hardest' boss in WoW initially because of poor tuning. Didn't take too long for guilds to take him out after the first wave of changes. Should probably be Yogg 0, Firestarter, or Heroic Lich King. Also, Flamelurker? Really?[/QUOTE] the trash mobs outside cthuns room was harder if i remember reading correctly

[QUOTE=LZTYBRN;52721596]i couldn't even get close to beating him in kh2, but i was also ignorant of the games core mechanics at the time[/QUOTE] Well the trick is essentially to spam deflect. That shit does so much damage to him it's kinda laughable

No Algalon the Raid Destroyer?

I don't think the Nameless King is as hard as he is made out to be considering it can be done with friends and the play area is huge when versing him in the fight.

No Deadlift? Seriously? This motherfucker is hard for first players unless you do all the avaliable sidequests and grind a bit.

No Black Widow from Quake 2 Ground Zero? She's pretty much the hardest boss you can deal with. EDIT: It's also missing Nightmare Geese Howard, Rugal, Goenitz and Dark Ash (From KOF XIII)

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;52720806]Senator Armstrong is hard? It's all about telegraphed timing, how is that hard?![/QUOTE] Armstrong sometimes in Sam's dlc has this clothesline attack where he glides towards you, I've had him do that to me, but instead of ending after missing he would continue turning around and increasing in speed as he homes back into you, to the point where hes faster than you can dodge the attack and you can't block it :V aside from that hes ez.

[QUOTE=elfbarf;52720824]C'Thun was only the 'hardest' boss in WoW initially because of poor tuning. Didn't take too long for guilds to take him out after the first wave of changes.

Objectively [i]what is[/i] the hardest boss that we can all agree on then :thinking:

[QUOTE=Citrus705;52721862]Objectively [i]what is[/i] the hardest boss that we can all agree on then :thinking:[/QUOTE] Orphan of Kos (Bloodborne) As for Destiny, if we're talking about boss difficulty combined with mechanics and the insane team work/communication required AND how much it remains with us post fight, the top spot is definitely Oryx the Taken King

Flamelurker? Really? I fuck that dude up every playthrough.

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;52720806]Senator Armstrong is hard? It's all about telegraphed timing, how is that hard?![/QUOTE] Platinum Games makes bosses so fucking hard. The Jeanne fight in Bayonetta 1 and Armstrong in Metal Gear Rising are way on top of my personal hardest bosses ever.

[QUOTE=WilloTheWisp;52721866]Orphan of Kos (Bloodborne) [/QUOTE] Yeah I'll second this. Few bosses in souls games gave me trouble, but holy shit this dude took me forever to beat.

Fire and the Flames is just a bonus song in the credits, not a boss fight, shit list

[QUOTE=Nemisis116;52721882]Fire and the Flames is just a bonus song in the credits, not a boss fight, shit list[/QUOTE] Ehhhhh, it's still available to play and many consider it to be "the" song to beat in GH 3, so kind of fits in here. I mean, there's far bigger bosses or even whole series of bosses (the whole Shin Megami Tensei series basically) missing out on the list, this one actually kind of fits since it kicked the ass out of the majority of people who picked the game up.

[QUOTE=Zeos;52721453]What the fuck this quest chain why the fuck would you do this[/QUOTE] remember, these were all 40 man raids too, so each red box had to have 40 people that had completed everything to that stage
