Any boss fight experiences you would like to share?

[OKeijiDragon]

So yeah, I'm the kinda player who wants to find creative ways to finish off a boss in games, just because I simply think it looks awesome. <airhead talking>

One day, I played Kingdom Hearts II again from the beginning up till that point where you fought the Twilight Thorn. I got it's HP down to 1, but I didn't land a finishing move on it. It played that Reaction Command sequence for the final time, but after when Roxas throws that Keyblade at the boss and falls back to the ground, the boss lands on his head and is defeated, to my surprise. The head slam counted as a Finisher, while Roxas is still lying on the floor! I laughed so hard at that.

If it will make any more sense, I have it all on video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSw53drbvIA

So to reiterate the question: Do any of you recall any interesting boss fight experiences that you would like to share? (Examples: Won the boss with 1HP with no items, miraculous victory in the end, seemingly good battle turned upside down, sudden stupid death by accident, etc.)

(Yeah, its 2:30AM here, gotta get to bed. zzzz)

The first time I played through and beat Final Fantasy VIII...

Spoiler:

show spoiler

I was fighting Raijin and Fujin on Lunatic Pandora. Raijin of course kept casting Aura on himself, and kicking the shit out of my team of Squall, Zell and Quistis with his Limit Break. I had incredibly powerful GF's, though, and I remember spamming the crap out of Leviathan and Shiva. I knocked out Fujin, and Zell and Quistis were down. Raijin was low on HP, but so was Squall. Raijin used his Limit Break once more, knocking Squall down to something like 93 HP. And then...Raijin flinched, and I saw a damage number go above his head. Nothing too big...around 200-300. He dropped to a knee. I had totally forgotten I casted Bio on him sometime earlier in the fight, and the poison finished him off right before he would've undoubtedly used his Limit Break again. I would've probably killed him with a regular gunblade attack anyway, but the way he died was pretty ridiculous.

All of my Ninja Gaiden 2 boss fights... That game was DAMN HARD.

The last boss (Archfiend) in its 1st form was uber easy, but when it changes I got my ass kicked like 100 times, until I defeat it with less that a quarter of the life bar... also the test of valor things that were ridiciously hard.

Omega Weapon + Squal/Irvine in their limits + Selphie w/Full Cure/The End = lol battle. I found most of the bosses in FF8 to be very easy...especially after getting a decent amount of ammo for Irvine. Not to mention some of the higher level GFs were insanely strong to the point where it practically felt cheap to use them.


Not really "bosses", but getting to S Rank in the Monster Rancher games was always pretty frustrating. Most of my monsters usually died of old age before I could get them there.

Fable 2.

I was expecting an epic ending to an alright story, and you know what you had to do for the boss fight? Just stand still, an NPC kills him for you. Fail.

Yeah Fable 2 is really disheartening... Spoiler:

but it's kind of cool how Reaver blows the crap out of Lucien if you don't do nothing. I personally shot the bastard in the groin for killing the hero's sister. That was not nice Mr.

Mother Brain from the original Metroid.

I'm sorry, but that was pretty difficult at first. I kept dying and dying, and when I finally beat her, I realize I have to ESCAPE with a time limit that will blow me up if it runs out.

Yes, I'm a 14 year old old school gamer. Heh (not really. I barely qualify as that.).

Well, excuse me, tough guy, but like I said, that was the first time I played through it . I think I was like 9 or 10 and it was my first RPG I'd ever played, really. I didn't understand the Junction system or how to run around the world map leveling up like I did on my other playthroughs.

There was that time I was playing Time Crisis 2 at the arcades, and everyone was watching me beat the boss. I did it too. Enrico's not too hard once you learn his patterns
