Even when you have decent understanding of the game

The amount of times I got spanked by Murai

Then you fight him on higher difficulties and he goes ballistic

Bowser!
I remember that universally being the case in Lost Odyssey
If you read this signature, then that meant that I had control of what you read for 5 SECONDS!!
Onryoki was real tough for me when I first started Nioh.

Edit: Wait, there was a boss before him that was more of a first/tutorial boss. Uhh, then make it either of the ones in Nioh 2.
Feeling really good.

Almost any boss in Soulsborne.

Guard Scorpion in the original FF7 because the bad translation tells you to do the opposite of the mechanic.

Granted this only kicks your ass on the first run before you know the game's just teaching you wrong.

I know it might be wrong, but I'm in love with Stacy's dong
Any first boss in a FromSoftware game, but that's a given.
I remember people being stonewalled by the first boss in Dark Souls 3

Cheesy motherfucker

I remember the first real boss you fight in Tales of Arise to be tough as hell. I barely survived. I started over with the game on PS5 so I'll see if he is as difficult as I thought.
Every day I wake up and promise I will be nice to everyone, then I deal with people at work and remember why that will never happen.
kamoshidaman in persona q2 is generally considered the hardest part of the game, with the game's difficulty plummeting afterwards

The crab in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia filtered me so hard that I didn't pick the game back up to finish it for like, a decade. >_>

Father Gascoigne or whatever in bloodborne
Science and Algorithms
Fugue from Eternal Sonata. Hes technically the second boss you fight and its an unwinnable fight but that didnt stop me from over grinding and trying..still got my ass whooped.
For the Swarm!!!!!
That one fuckin' guy from Wu Long.

For months, basically the entire review section was people who got their shit kicked in by that guy.

Balsef or however its spelled and yea he beat my ass too. Im currently playing that game now but Im pretty much at the end.

Lost Odyssey
Mega Man Network Transmission (If I'm remembering right the first boss in this Gamecube game was incredibly difficult for a first boss. Fire based? I feel like that is the only part of the game I remember lol)

The second part of the trials game on hard difficulty. It was among the hardest part of the chapters as you don't get access to the system yet.
Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.

TC IS #1!
Blood Raven in D2/LoD is stupid hard and I'll die on the hill that her Normal and Hell fights are the hardest in the game. Just a straight up break check
Cookin like a chef, I'm a 5 Star Michelin
There are 2 that immediately come to mind. Grafted Scion in Elden Ring, and Zhang Liang from Wo Long. Zhang Liang kicked my ass at least 50 times before I learned the counter system in that game. The sad part is he is more difficult than the next 4 bosses combined.

That's the second boss. First boss is Cleric Beast.
The dog in Mega Man DOS

Those two doofus guards in Tales of Vesperia
There's a difference between canon and not-stupid.

Tutorial Genichiro
On the flip side of this, if you fight Tutorial Genichiro enough that you can actually beat him, you get a modified cutscene, and the hes a joke every time you fight him when you actually have tools to work with.

Aztec Falcon from Mega Man Zero 1 is ridiculously hard for being an extremely early boss. It's like that boss is meant to give you a warning of how hard the MMZ games are.
Only thing that comes to mind is Gades in Lufia: the Legend Returns, you're expected to lose but if you beat him you get a bracelet.
The first boss of bloodstained on higher difficulties.

Goes from a cakewalk to one of the hardest bosses in the game

Gattuso in Tales of Vesperia. Not the very first boss you fight, but he's the first boss after you leave town and he's notoriously hard.

Definitely Grilgan from Lost Odyssey. On subsequent playthroughs I always over leveled a bit. Shit now I wanna play it.

Even on Hard, thats only hard if youre doing a deathless run. Since there are no consequences whatsoever for people dying, the games really easy if you dont care about that. But if youre doing Hard deathless, that game is goddamn hard.

Similar issue in SMT4, with it almost being a coinflip since getting Walter as an AI partner means you're nearly always on the back foot.

Iirc that dog boss in Tales of Vesperia.

Helter Skelter in No More Heroes 2.

I recently tried NMH3, the first boss in that game is brutal, before I figured out how to deal with him, and even then it wasn't easy.
