If it's a boss you HAVE to fight it can't be that hard, right? But sometimes they go out of their way and make even a mandatory battle super hard.
I remember the Prometheus and Pandora fight in Mega Man ZX giving me so much trouble it left quite the impression on me. Off the top of my head, fights that took me a very long time to get through (as in I had to come back after at least several days and regroup before I beat it) were the Elder Wyrm from FF12 and the Hell Genie from Dragon Quest VII. --- Okay, I rolled a 14.

The two Ramza solo fights in FFT were my first thought, considering they're infamous for making people restart the entire game to beat them. But that's arguably more of an oversight with the way game saves work than genuine difficulty; they're not hard on subsequent playthroughs at all.

I definitely feel like I cheesed Guardian Ape in Sekiro in a way that isn't exactly how the fight was meant to go. Basically chipped away at him forever but I was getting rolled over in anything approaching a straight-up fight. Definitely a good answer and might be mine as well.

Personally, The Verminator from Secret of Evermore was a pain in the ass as you had to use magic or a leveled up spear throw. All my feeble mind could comprehend was physical attacks which were useless in the battle.

Dhoulmagus in Dragon Quest 8
Multiple turns and has several moves that hit more than one party member. If you've been fighting every encounter possible by the time you have access to this fight, it's likely Angelo still won't be a high enough level to know Multiheal. Easily fixed by going metal slime hunting until 30 so that Angelo learns Multiheal but chances are you won't see this coming and will either wipe or kill him after Hero and Angelo run out of MP from single-target healing spells alone. --- Someday, I too will become Florida Man. ...

I honestly thought you were supposed to die as part of the plot in that fight. He literally shredded my health in a matter of seconds and I couldn't believe my eyes at first.
