ITT we post your least favorite, most hated boss in all of RPG-land. For me it's this fucker.

"Looking for Baal?" No you fucking piece of shit I'm looking for you so I can fist your sorry ass to death.

Seriously on any difficulty he can be a problem. When you first encounter him he blindsides you. On hardcore he's one of the most terrifying things to go up against. He's fast, he slows you down a ton, he face-tanks you, and every character has a hard time with him if not properly prepared.

Fuck you Duriel you chink of utter fucking horse smegma.

I hate this fucker so damned much.

>>3778330 (OP)
That fucker for me. The biggest case of blue balls in the entire original BG trilogy. Basically, if you didn't bring Yoshimo you can forget about avenging Ajantis. Thanks for making me suffer that horrible dungeon for nothing!

Before the internet taught me cheese strategies

>>3778330 (OP)
Most of the bosses from FFIII and a lot from Breath of Fire 1.

>>3778355
Breath of Fire? Really? The first game was a cinch from what I recall, and I played it as a kid. Which ones in particular stand out? Maybe I'm forgetting something. To be fair I always liked to grind a bit to destroy enemies in most RPGs so maybe that's why.

>>3778354
Oof. Yeah that battle is epic though, I fucking love it. I seriously wish Wiegraf had a bigger role to play, or came as a superboss revived later or something. His Zodiac form (what was it called, Vesuvius or something?) was legit horrifying and badass.

I never had a problem with that fight even my first time through simply because I did a lot of grinding and was a dual-wielding knight by then. Ramza wrecked his shit.

>>3778367
Not that guy, but the boss from that angel lady's solo segment and almost all dragon test fights were painful. Thank god for spamming the earthkey item.

>>3778330 (OP)
I never understood people having difficulty with him. Just equip freeze duration lessening items.

The damn iron maiden enemies in act 4 were bad. Especially for my frenzy barb. Until patch 10 that removed it.

>>3778373
Dragon tests were optional weren't they? I never had a problem either way. What does Earth Key do? So long since I played that game. I really want them to remaster BoF II, but all of them would be great to see remastered with added content.

>>3778385
I don't remember which enemies those are by name... the wraiths?

Even with freeze duration reduction he's a bitch and a half. Dude blitzes you and does crazy damage even if you aren't frozen, and if you're not frozen he still keeps up with you easily. I beat the game on Hell with every class in the past but still... he's probably the most unfair feeling boss fight overall. Too fast, too tanky, too strong, and freezes you.

Other notable pain in the ass is the final wave of minions before you fight Baal, whatever those creatures are called, the big dinosaur-like ones. They can spawn on Hell with some of the most awful modifiers.

>>3778330 (OP)
I gotchu senpai

>>3778396
Legaia was great. I don't recall that enemy being a problem though.

This motherfucker in Pokémon Gold/Silver.

Fighting her with a melee build sucks

>>3778422
Masquerade? Haven't played that for a long time. It was fun awhile back, never did beat it though.

>>3778410
What were they thinking?

>>3778354
Got my asshole widened by him a lot. Then I cheesed him by taking dragoon and just turning my back to him and using the jump command in the square I knew he'd be. Fucked him up with zero hp lost this way.

>>3778396
The bull boss was the one that filtered me for a while. Grinded like a maniac before taking him out.

>>3778347
Yeah, dragons in general were difficult in Bg2. I had to kill the white dragon in the underdark to get out because my game was bugged and I couldn't finish the segment thenold fashioned way. Hard fight and took many tries. Then I fucked him up with Cloudkill.

queen ant from EO1 Steam ver., i play the ds ver. when i was young and i don't know how i defeat her.

>>3778422
C-cute ...

>>3778347
I pretty much always kill Firkraag before going to Spellhold. All you need is dispel magic and a decent tank.

>>3778422
Yeah, I had practically unkillable Gangrel (max Fortitude is broken) yet this fight was such a slog

Pretty sure this motherfucker is only beatable by abusing rez spells.

>>3778387
>What does Earth Key do? So long since I played that game.

reusable 30 Damage AoE item

>>3778387
>Dragon tests were optional weren't they?
... no, the entire point of your main character is to pass them and get dragon forms to be useful. You also need one for the good ending.

>What does Earth Key do?
30 damage that bypasses defense values.

>>3778330 (OP)
He was easy with Normal mode Spearazon though ? But Spearazon was annoying after Act 2,since I needed to use a slow ass Pikes to have decent damage after that . Eventualy switched to a poison Javazon to kill cows .

>>3783017
The problem is that you're playing a spear Amazon. It's outright garbage, and that's accounting for the remakes buffs to spear Amazon.

Easily this

>>3783017
Spearazon is absolute garbage in 99% of situations, but it completely demolishes bosses. It's literally the one benefit of the build

>>3783094
No i killed Diablo with a no monster=heal crossbow, because my Spearazon keeps missing. Never got to Baal with it.

>>3778388
The Minions of Destruction. They are Lag Enchanted, among other things.
>>3778422
I love that she looks like some HL2 unused asset.

Any boss with an irl time limit in a turn-based game.

shitty gimmick controls made this fight boring

>>3778354
I always struggled more with the execution level. And if you save wrong, you're stuck there and can't grind higher. It was terrifying as a kid, but eventually I won. I do remember this scene in my brain though, a really cool game and battle. Idk why western turn based games repulse me, and yet, FFT was so amazing to me.

>>3778330 (OP)
The shittiest part of Duriel was that back in the day playing with a shitty computer he would kill you before the room even fully loads

>>3778347
There is no relation between Firkraag and Ajantis.

>>3783556

>>3783432
I fucking hate things of that nature. They usually give you more than enough time (if they're not absolutely fucking retarded) but even then it's so anxiety-inducing, especially when the timer keeps counting down when you or enemies use skills or spells that have long animations. THAT is an egregious design, especially if certain spells take 3-4x as long, and it's random which ones get used by the enemy. Could easily lose just because the RNG decided to go for the longer animated spells.

>>3783086
I will never enjoy Diablo 2 as much as I did before they nerfed the Bowazon's pierce and guided arrow combo. That was easily the most fun thing to play. I decimated everything solo on the highest of difficulties. I wish I could fuck up uber bosses with that old special.

For those who don't know they used to allow guided arrow to synchronize with pierce so that one fired arrow would rip back and forth between enemies multiple times. You would spam a few shots then watch a boss get torn to fucking pieces instantly by multiple stacked arrows slicing through them. You used multishot spammed out at mobs with a few GAP shots to kill champions. Easy as fuck but so satisfying.

>>3783490
What game?

>>3783432

Also what game?

>>3783511
Oof yes I remember that happening now that you mention it. I never liked hardcore play and still don't now because of lag and sync issues which can fuck you over. I have played "hardcore" with the character editor in D2 just to see how far I would get playing really carefully, but having the actual option to revive my file if I lost and wanted to keep going. I never beat Hell that way, but I did get really far so I was satisfied.

>>3778422
booba

>>3783727

Game >>3783490 is FF15, the Levithan boss fight

and >>3783432 is saying Trails to Azure when I punch in the name of Ogre Sigmund into Google

>>3783739
Thank you. :)

>>3783432
For me is battles with respawning enemies.
>TO:LUCT's PSP remake.
>Fighting Nybbeth early on Ch.1
>"Oh, did you have fun exorcising my undead minions in a literal uphill battle, underlevelled and poorly equipped? Here, let me summon 7 more out of thin air".
Thank you, Canopus, for smashing him to 'death' with a hammer (he turns into a crow and flees).

This fucking guy. Fuck you Borgan.

>>3783866
I remember that one being a bitch because they come in such large numbers so quickly. I beat it but I recall times I had to restart because RNG fucked me.

>>3778603
Yeah I remenber when the fight against two dragons was advertised for NWN1 campaign as somehow being hard when it isn't.

Damn near every fucking boss in Coil of Bahamut. Even by modern FF14 design standards they are some of the most brutal and sadistic fights in the game, anyone who does them synced has nothing but my respect.

>>3783722
You can skip S-Craft animations in Trails to Azure. Still have to sit through Arts animations though The game continues if you lose to him though.

>>3783739
>>3783745
Just a heads up, Trails to Azure is the 5th game in a series where each game is a direct continuation of the previous game. Trails in the Sky is the optimal starting point.

>>3778410
>>3778540
"Just catch a Geodude bro"

>>3778347
lol you serious?
Firkraag was way too easy, the game give you the loot to beat it just before the encounter, its literally braindead easy.

>>3794092
just overlevel, brah. "it's a kid's game".
i frankly forgot how i beat her. maybe i trained up a fighting type.

>>3778422
>phosphorescent nipples
How did I never notice that until now?

>>3783511
I remember, damn.

>>3778330 (OP)
I rember fighting him by jumping into a portal, making a new one, putting in a hit or two and running away.

>>3778422
Lmao you should have joined Lacroix and got the $4,000 advance to stock up on blood bags.

>>3778330 (OP)
sorc static fielding him while keeping on top of health pots makes duriel her bitch.
