What's the most difficult boss you've ever beaten?

Probably solo Fatalis in Iceborne without relying on easy weapons like bows or longsword.

Pre-nerf Balteus on first playthrough.

my peenus weenus of course :)

Some NEC game where you have to go through 12 levels with 12 bosses, then enter a boss rush where you have to fight them again, then fight the final boss who has a second form.
Limited to 3 lives and if you die once you lose all the powerups.

Eigong felt like cock&ball torture. Probably wasn't THE most difficult boss full stop, but she stood out with how much harder she was than the entire rest of her game. Also recency bias.

this son of a bitch while being comically under-leveled and just using random bullshit without optimization

a tie between Uber Sirus in Path of Exile on a boneshatter juggernaut in HCSSF a few leagues back, and Daytime EoL in hardcore master mode Terraria. Both fights aren't exactly that hard, but the stakes to get to that point and complete them without dying and losing all of your progress is absolutely nerve wracking. Both forced me to literally practice strategies and movement.

I still haven't beat nameless king or sister friede

Heroic Sha of Fear or some other WoW boss. That's the last one I beat before quitting.
Like it or not, WoW boss fights are peak game design.

Getting my store manager fired for payroll manipulation via meticulously compiling camera footage for 5 months and comparing it to paystubs and written schedules then dragging corporate and the labor board in and retaining a lawyer to pressure them into settling and pursuing legal action against him rather than the company
With the side bonus that I got his job at the end of it

>>725558237 (OP)
This fucker took a while and more

Defiled watchdog in bloodborne I guess.

>>725558237 (OP)
The Ancient of Days in SMTIV.

Malenia. she was cheap for her grabs and rush attack combo when i was dual wielding hammers

>>725558237 (OP)
Malenia. That fucking whore.

>>725560139
Neither have I

>>725558237 (OP)
probably iron passage's blue smelter demon, I chose not to parry and I had very low adaptability.

in relative terms, ornstein & smough on release, when my dumb underage ass didn't know you could upgrade weapons

>>725558237 (OP)
Not even joking.
Souls bosses didn't even come close.

Very Hard Black Shadow and Blood Falcon in GX

>>725560868
Bullshit, I require proof.

Probably Sonic in Boshy. Never finished that game, got filtered by the spiked wall in NG world.

Gaem

Cats aren't scared of me. Why are they scared of OP?

>>725558237 (OP)
MH:WI Fatalis. Hands down.

Nearly every single weapon I used was a challenge, but god damn using the Lance was an absolute blast and a challenge.

Why, myself of course.

>>725560868
The only entity to be able to pull that off was a demi-god or stronger.

You're just a lowly anon, like I

>>725561305
For some reason stray kots always come to me at the most random times. Remember having to wait 50 min for the bus after training all by my lonesome when all of a sudden a fluffy kot jumps on my lap and starts purring and brushing up against me with her tail so I start petting her and before I know it 50 minutes have passed and she leaves, the bus arrived a minute later

kurt zisa, 'secret' superboss in Kingdom Hearts 1

>>725562158
Right. I do remember now.

/qa/ lost.

Go back to your dead kids debate shartyfag.

>>725563070
what is it with reddit tourists hating cats

>>725561872
cats are often drawn to serial killers

>>725564347
Browns. I's all browns, anon. Things are even worse than you think.

>>725564457
This is just bad partitioning.
China isn't really a country it's a bunch of small countries banded together, more or less same with India.
Group up the western countries and it's suddenly not as bad. Still less than half but not as ridiculous as that pic makes it out to be

>>725558786
That motherfucker been beating my ass for 22 years

Lingering Will from KH2

>>725559974
beat that nigga as a kid after many tries and swapping to the default keyblade
for some reason I couldn't do it with the ultima

>this wasn't an ary/an/imals thread

I dunno if it was really the most difficult but the Demi-fiend in Digital Devil Saga 1 probably took me the longest

>>725558237 (OP)
The toad prince in witcher 3
That fight was so long

>>725567119
I think in KH1 I beat Sephiroth on my first try after switching to the stupid Pinocchio themed keyblade

>>725567180
You could make it one

>>725568535
Wtf is this real

>>725567180
Very sad indeed
Those threads are the only good ones on /v/ really...

>>725558237 (OP)
No hit S++ run of the final boss of Gunvolt 3 for me. That's the only time I've ever flipped out over losing a boss. Survived his second special then got hit by something simple. Took a few whiskeys in despair and ended up with food poisoning after trying to chomp down on raw chicken. Got that fucker in the end though

>>725558237 (OP)
The spanish bitch from Nioh, probably.

That giant orb in Final Fantasy 9
That one dude in AC6

Dont play that My Little Puppy game if you love animals, or had a dog.

>>725558237 (OP)
I spent multiple hours trying to beat the double bogeys at the end of Vanquish on God Hard. Didn't know any cheese just went straight into it after clearing tactical challenge 6.

>>725568369
Nta but Im soon to face Seph as my first time playing this game, and on Proud mode too. Want to get my hands on the OWA keyblade and skip Ultima for now

>>725560868
that's a god, not a boss

>>725569368
Seph isn’t that bad once you learn to always approach with a jump cause he does the instant swing every single time you approach in neutral

>>725568658
of course not. do you really think a fat cat like that could move that fast?

>>725558237 (OP)
I’ve only beaten the bottom one. Top seems impossible to do without cheese

>>725566921
That would be my choice if not for another secret boss in kingdom hearts birth by sleep, mysterious figure with Terra. The most bullshit boss I ever seen, too many hours on this motherfucker.

>>725569771
ac rivals is by far the hardest mission across the entire series. they really had no mercy on that one.

>>725558557
He was even easy pre-nerf. Idiots never considered getting in close and smacking him with the sword over and over.
I was in shock when I succeeded first attempt on release doing this because of all the stories about him being mecha-Malenia.

>>725570130
>I was in shock when I succeeded first attempt on release
sure you did poser

>>725558237 (OP)
probably some oldgen armored core arena guy
i'm seeing a bunch of monhun in the thread and i can say i put monhun difficulty (i solo'd about anything monhun) bellow the top of oldgen AC arena as a whole
would put soulslikes bellow monhun tho

>>725570282
>>725570130
i first tried it with ease too
AC is an old IP, some of us already knew the ropes
