Current Events > ITT: Bosses in games that are considered easy that you had trouble with

(+) Yeah! (+)

Topic.

the champion and wolf boss duo in the Dark Souls 3 ice world DLC.

Bump.

Pinwheel killed me once

wolverine in ultimate spider man pissed me off so much I took it back to blockbuster out of spite

It took like 10 tries to defeat the first boss in DMC1 and I could beat Ninja Gaiden....

Fighting Vergil as Nero in DMC5 chapter 20

When I first played Skyward Sword, I struggled with the final Ghirahim fight and Demise. Idk if those are considered easy overall, but my brother beat the latter boss way faster than I did.

That one boss in MMX where you have to hop around on two moving platforms a lot and dodge rotating turrets

Snake Man from Mega Man 3

He's the most difficult boss in the game. I can't figure him out. I think it has something to do with staying still and letting him come to you, but I can't seem to bring myself to do that. I mostly wind up shooting first and hoping he dies before I do.

The rest of the game is easy.

Demise in Skyward Sword. I just don't get it. I raise the sword skyward to absorb the lightning but before I can get it... he rams me. Again. And again. Rammed. Every single time. I go through 3 fairies in a bottle without getting a single strike in because every time I try to absorb the lightning, he rams me before it completes. I don't get it.

Hey, nice to see someone else struggled with this guy. While I did find him difficult before, I've played the game a lot, and now I think I have the hang of it. If he keeps ramming you, that means you're too far away from him. Keep some distance, but don't get far away enough to make him do that attack.
Also the Hylian Shield helps if you don't have it. You can get it by doing 8 battles in Lanayru's boss rush mode. Make sure to quit after the 8th fight or you won't get it.

People say this is "easy?"

I'd say it's hard but for 100% the wrong reason lol.

Same. I hate this fight so much but every time I see boss rankings online is near the easiest. Idgi.

I had a hell of a time with the first Ghirahim fight. I had a hard time with the learning curve of the controls, it took awhile before it finally clicked.

Honestly, it may very well have been the distance, if his ram attack only triggers if you are far away. I never considered that. Yeah, I always got the hylian shield each playthrough. I never bothered with boss rush on new game plus though, cause I knew I would end up drawing Demise at random lol.

For me it wasn't Ghirahim, but a Skulltula that halted my progress. It took me forever to figure out how to stab it.

Hylian Shield is amazing. Even though both games have breakable shields, BOTW's Hylian Shield can still break eventually (though it is very durable), but in SS it's completely indestructible. I need to play Hero Mode at some point.

I dunno, Medusa in Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest? But that's cause she's cheap.

Smithy2 in Super Mario RPG used to be dicey for me because I didn't use Defense Up (or have the super equipment). He can get a TPKO in a single round if you're unlucky, not even Culex can do that.

I dont know if it counts because she seems like one of those either easiest or hardest boss ever situations but rom the spider in bloodborne took me a ton of tries

Gwyn from Dark Souls, all I kept hearing is how disappointingly easy he is for the final boss, but when I got to him he mopped the floor with me
