In FFX, you fight this flying thing on the top of your ship, and you don’t have Yuna for the fight.

In replays, this wasn’t so tough, bit the first time I played this game, me and my friends were stuck for weeks.

For me it was Psycho mantis from Metal Gear Solid. The reason being that I didn’t understood English at the time, so it was literally an impossible boss. I got frustrated with it and abandoned the game, until I found a translated version of it and replayed it and he’s actually very easy if you know what you need to do.

Probably Monster Hunter World’s Fatalis. That’s the only fight I’ve ever had to genuinely grind for multiple days to beat. It was 100% worth it though, the feeling of bringing him down for the first time was unmatched.

Dunno if I ever beat Mike Tyson

Probably Malenia, but she’s beatable. Definitely had a tougher time learning her than Freide, Gael, Artorias, Manus, Fume Knight, or Ivory King etc.

For me, it was in Last of Us, >!when you walk through the door and get caught in the rope trap, then have to shoot the zombies upside-down.!<

I had to go through that entire animation over and over and over. It made me hate the game. I played a little bit more after finally making it through, but my heart wasn’t in it and I just stopped after a while.

Eggman on this sonic game I had on my Nintendo ds. Shit was fucked. I never won and am forever a loser because of it. One day imma emulate it and reclaim my honour.

Great Wolf Sif because I can’t bring myself to kill a loyal pupper who is trying to save me.

God Of War 2 Theseus gave me way more trouble than Ares on Titan difficulty.

There might have been a mechanic I was missing but you had barely enough mana to cast all of the required spells to beat it, at least with the pickups I had found, like literally if I missed more than one lightning bolt I had to restart, and some of his spells would instantly kill you. I don’t recall the specifics of why it was giving me trouble beyond that but I do remember bashing my head against that wall for hours.

Never really had aa much trouble as that fight. Not in Souls, Bloodbourne, that fucking Theseus and his jerk friend minotaurs.

MCP from the Intellevision version of Tron.

Messmer the impaler from Elden Ring SOTE.

I love this boss, it’s not bs, just pure skill… Shame I lack any of it. Still beat him eventually.

Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls. The series have plenty of difficult boss fights but this one is earlier than most and the biggest difficulty spike in the entire game IMHO.

Outside of the Souls games, there’s Lil’ Hunter from Nuclear Throne. I tried to beat this little trashcan SO many times and succeeded only once. It’s insane.

Also shout-out to Hush from the Binding of Isaac for almost giving me a heart attack when I was fighting it as the tainted lost. Never again.

Fume Knight from Dark Souls 2

As a kid I beat the vampires in Illusion of Gaia as Will. Didn’t realize you could change.
