Annoying boss fights!
Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2009 5:01 pm
Similar to the anticlimactic boss fights, what about the boss fights that are just ANNOYING For one reason or another? Either because they just refuse to die, keep using cheap tactics, or repeatedly futz you up.
Despite that it was a challenge, the Fell Arms boss Duke in TAles of Vesperia was annoying at times. The second form will use Big Bang maybe once or twice. His third form will use Big Bang around seven or eight. Then he will use Brave Vesperia which will practically destroy anyone who's nearby (Except for an extremely high HP Karol). He's like Miktran crossed with Schwartz.
On the subject of annoying bosses, let's also mention Alexei! I've never seen anyone use their mystic artes four times! Even Van wouldn't and he loved pulling mystic artes out of his ass when I can't get away. >.<
The last Tales of boss I'll mention is Schwartz. Definitely a rather difficult boss fight, that's for sure. Didn't make you feel cheated by making her about as easy as Nerifes was, but she also could practically one-hit KO you. I had to use numerous life bottles and elixirs because she loved to pick on Shirley. But of course I was about as cheap to her as she was to me. Senel was hitting for thousands of damage and I shaved off nearly half her health with a simple climax combo. And of course, it was Shirley's one sole chance to shine. SUCK ON TIDAL WAVE, SCHWARTZ!!!!!!
And now I will talk about other bosses! I believe the l33t four back in Red, Blue, and yellow don't need any mention. Thanks to the computer cheating and them being able to pull full restores out of their asses. The later pokemon games are much better at the full-restoring. If I recall, they only have a finite amount.
And Deathevn...oh Deathevn. Depending on how much you like or hate me you easily fit into "most annoying". Sometimes I'm lucky with him and he only uses that "By god's power!" once or twice, but other times I'm unlucky and he spams it EVERY BLOODY ROUND!!!!! FFFF. (And guess what? I don't happen to have the MP restoring items outside of white fruit!)
Yunalesca and Seymour...I don't know anyone who beat Yunalesca on their first try. FFFF how on earth were you going to think of letting someone remain as a zombie? And Seymour just because it's bloody seymour. Except for Seymour Omnis.
Also, in before Velius/Belias. Who remembers coming in with a party of level 50 adventurers only to find that he winds up stopping every single one of them in their path and then the demons rape them with dark holy? I made sure in Lion War to spread out and wreck that bastard as much as possible.
Final Square-Enix mention...Ursula. Did I mention that the world was already hell enough?
And now time to mention an obscure RPG most of you never heard of...Magi Nation. Screw you Zet and your Insta-kill Cunning Blow!
