the hardest boss battels ever!!!

well for me it would be FF7 seph,KH seph and super akuma in street fighter and last but not leas that one guy in FF 12 with like 50 mill health no joke. but what about you guys

The necromancer in Blade of Darkness is a real pain in the butt.

Vergil from Devil May Cry 3, ESPECIALLY on DMD mode.

Dark Demon from Demon's Crest.

Hito-shura/The Demi-Fiend & Satan from Digital Devil Saga 1 & 2 respectively.

Neo Granzon from Super Robot Wars 3.

General Akhoob from Total Carnage (I'm convinved that the 'escape' sequence after you beat him is literally impossible with 1 player)

I'd say:

DMC1's Nelo Angelo and Nightmare

FFVIII's Ultima and Omega Weapon

Ninja Gaiden's Alma and Doku

Contra Hard Corps' Virtual Reality boss (It took me months to beat that annoying thing. lol)

The Boost Guardian on Hard Mode in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

syztem's answer is the right one:D C'Thun from WoW literally couldn't be killed until Blizzard fixed him. I never fought v 1.0 C'Thun but I feel sorry for the guilds that banged their heads against that brick wall over and over. Some tough boss fights in the history of that game for sure, especially the ones that were bugged or broken

Single-player games:

-The final two fightsof Super Ghouls n' Ghosts... game's hard enough using the best weapon but then at the end it forces you to use a crappy weapon to beat it

-Fire Leo in Viewtiful Joe

-most of the bosses in Ikaruga and Gradius V

-the optional bosses in the Final Fantasy games that people speak of and the Kingdom Hearts games although I never really bothered to make a serious attempt on those.

-I am losing memory of the NES days but I recall some bosses in Contra and the Ninja Gaiden games as well as the Grim Reaper in Castlevania

-I thought Agni and Rudra from DMC3 were vicious, I had a lot more trouble with them than I did Vergil

-Final boss of Half-Life 1 and Ares from God of War on God Mode

-And we can't have a tough boss thread without mentioning Mike Tyson :D

VGobbsesser

That thing was a freakin b*tch. I died so many times against it.

Last boss in Mario RPG for the SNESShyn_1

Add the Buorn from Dragon Quest 5 (ridiculously long), and you have my opinion.

for me...

final fantasy 8 - adel, not that this was that hard but because i wasn't leveled up enough and it took me agesss to do

final fantasy 10 - second to last boss (braska's aeon), this was really hard aswell, maybe because i was under leveled

final fantasy 12 - yiazmat...the hardest thing about this was the length...but it was still difficult aswell

Chrono66

Yeah, the boost guardian takes the cake.

Dracula from Castlevania 1.

Varius MK bosses such as Shang Tsung, Shao Kahn, and Onaga.

Shin Akuma from Street Fighter Alpha 3

Jinpachi from Tekken 5, if you are playing a defensive player.

Mike Tyson from Punchout.

The Icon of Sin from Doom 2.

Though if we're counting MMO bosses then we may as well just forget about single player game bosses. Single player bosses are meant to be killed in a short amount of time (usually just a few attempts, if the dev is really sadistic then maybe a few weeks of retries). MMO bosses are meant to take months to finally kill.gameguy6700

True true... I've never played an MMO past WoW but have read all about some of the raid bosses in EQ, FFXI, etc -- stuff that was not only hard to kill but hard to even get a chance to fight. Then with WoW you have the history of bugged and/or roadblocked bosses -- i.e. C'Thun v. 1.0, Ouro 1.0, broken Lady Vashj, early Vael, early Nefarian -- on top of functioning bosses like Four Horsemen, Kel'Thuzad, Twin Emporers, Razorgore, or normal C'Thun that took weeks if not months to kill, if a guild could even kill them at all. Definitely a different ballgame.

Mike Tyson from Punchout.

3DO_Lives

Such a fearsome and difficult boss, that even SURVIVING him is considered a godly gaming feat. Beating him puts you in the best of the best. How do you think I got the name?

every boss in ninja gaidenFire_Hurts

Agreed. I would always sigh after I defeated a boss in that game.

-Lavos's final form-Chrono Trigger. It took me so long the first time through and I had to remain focused the entire way through.

-Emerald Weapon-FF7. Even with my brother's data with 4 cut, MASTER Final Summon materia paired with MASTER Phoenix materia, MASTER Quadra-Magic with Bahamut Zero, Knights of the Round, Underwater breathing materia, W-summon, Full-life magic and everyone having 9999 HP and 999 MP, it still took me half an hour at least.

One time I somehow pulled off a quick victory without the underwater materia by using Bahamut Zero 4 times consecutively with Quadra-Magic over and over again before the 25-minute time limit was up. I still don't get that one.

-Metroid Prime-Metroid Prime[spoiler] 's final form [/spoiler] . It wasn't hard until I figured out how to win, but I died the first time, so after all that work, I get annihalated.

-Ninja Gaiden Black's bosses the 1st time through. Man that game was tough. Training by beating enemies before the time limit finished was my way for getting a sense of how to play the game right with weapons. That Dragon Sword feels like it was made for me now.

i would say
both forms of alma in ninja gaiden sigma
man....she was a b*tchGC4ever

Totally agree ninja gaiden can be a bastard of a game at high difficult levels.

I don't think stat-based RPGs count, since it's mostly a matter of gear and character levels.

Anyway, your shadow at the end of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is pretty ridiculous.

Mega Man bosses in general...

As far as something a little more modern...the end of Ratchet and Clank was kind of a pain in the ass.

Atman_Do

Dude, you can stand at the edge of the screen and just stand there swinging your sword and you'll be guaranteed a win. Not even joking man, I've beaten that game at least 20 times.

My hardest boss fight is in Zelda II as well. I've played through all the game with level 1 life and attack, and can't beat Thunderbird for the life of me with those stats. So. ****ing. Hard.

That Alpha-something numbers blob in DOA 4, but that generally goes to any fighting games boss with all the cheap powerful moves they possess.

A personal tough one for me was the third version of Nightmare for Devil May Cry on the hardest difficulty setting. Not much space to move, having somebody trying to zap you from the distance and the last part where it completely changes its form and seems to take little damage makes it the most difficult one for me to beat. It took me over a month until I finally took it ou.

Definatley Dante vs Vergil in DMC3 Dantes Awakening

Then Kratos vs Aries in GOW

MGS3 BigBoss vs The End (i didnt know the trick to beat him and just tried to find him)

Fortier

Well, I wasn't aware of that apparent glitch. Of course, I don't tend to use strategy guides except for some online games. I've beaten the game, but that boss fight was still hard.

Last boss in Breath of Fire 3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3itEAQSz_s

yeah. vergil was superr hard in dmc especially in dmd mode...

but for the end... you could kill him in the beginning! so that you would not kill him the hard way...

DMC 1 nightmare 3! and the weapons from ff7 I never was able to beat them to this day.insanewolfninja

naw man the weapons are easy *exept emerald* i could never beat seph man he is **** insane.
