The Hardest Bosses of All Time

August 08, 2007 in News comments 18

There fast, tough and a lot of the time almost maddening, tough bosses are the ones we remember and Gamerhelp have compiled a list of what they believe are the toughest bosses in gaming history. Some entries include Sephiroth from Kingdom Hearts 2 and the END from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Everyone's been there. It's 2 o'clock in the morning, you need to get up at 7 for school, you have a four page persuasive essay due the next day that you haven't started yet, and you're still not in bed. Why? Because some infuriating boss battle is keeping you up all night! Since the early years of gaming, there have been many types of boss battles. There are the bosses who are laughably easy, the epic boss battles that make you impressed with the company who created the game, and the boss battles that make you want to stab your mom in the face. We here at GamerHelp are proud to present to you the first in a three-part series of the Hardest Bosses of All Time!

    Vaati's on there!!!!

    That's one of my favorite bosses of all time. Although he's not that hard, it's still cool to see him on the list.

    Cool to see Sephiroth on there as well. Fun boss. ^__^

    The End made it to the list. He was pretty fun to fight. His battle was also hard the first time.

    Vaati hard? Nah, he wasn't hard at all.

    Alas, I haven't played the games any of the other bosses come on.

    Vaati was somewhat hard, but not too much. I don't think he's really one of the hardest bosses out there.

    I still never beat Sephiroth . Mostly because I didn't get the chance to. I finally figured out why I can't win, but my PS2 wouldn't work at the time. Now it works, but barely. It hardly plays any games.

    I'm familiar with most of the other bosses, but I either never played the game or never played against that particular boss since I don't own any of those games besides the ones I mentioned above.

    I thought Nightmare from Devil May Cry might be on the list. At least the DMD version.

    Haha, Mike Tyson made it in, that guy was freaking hard to beat. Eh, i hated that game anyways. I am glad that a LoZ boss made it in though.

    Free Bird is the *bleep*ing devil child, I tell you.

      Then explain how I managed to get halfway through it on Expert when I can't even get a quarter of the way through the easier songs on Expert.
      Anyway, I'm not too surprised at the list. You'd think Mortal Kombat II's Shao Kahn would be on it, though.

      Edit: WTF is Emerald WEapon? I've never heard of it before.
      And my hands didn't hurt on Freebird, and the only reason I lost is because I didn't know how to handle the quick [RYBYRYBYRYB] HO/PO.

    Haha, awesome list. I knew it would be an awesome list when I seen Mike Tyson on there. He honestly is like, one of the hardest bosses to beat. I agree with all of them on that list except for "The End". I wouldn't really be able to tell if it was a hard boss or not, because sadly, I have never played MGS3. "Free Bird" really is hell to complete on Expert. It's about the 5 or 6 minute mark when my fingers start to hurt and my right arm begins hurting from strumming; without star power, I usually fail around that part. Luckily though, I have completed the song twice on Expert before.

    Sephiroth I knew would be on there but I beat him on my first go. Just took me about 2 hours to do it. Emerald Weapon was a challenge as well.

    The End wasn't hard at all...

    Dunno about all those bosses, but...Even though I havn't fought them, I imagine the two extra bosses in Star Ocean III: Till the End of Time are harder...One of them having what? 12 million HP or something? The last one basically requires you to be maxed out in levels (level 255 or something) I hear, and repeatedly abusing stun grenades or something...

    Lenneth is one of the bosses...And one of the bosses looks like a little girl >_> Getting owned by a little girl...well, that would suck...Even if she is just a programmed boss...

    Again, I havn't beaten those bosses, but I imagine they are harder then at least some of these bosses >_>

    Vaati was a pain in Minish Cap. Most of the game was easy up until that point.

    I wouldn't say that Sephy is that hard, definatly annoying, but not that hard. It'll be interesting to see what other bosses they'll add to this 3 part series.

    The End from MGS3 was an easy boss overall, it's only hard because it's a long fight.

    The End was just long and different, not really what I'd call hard. Maybe for a first time through it was a little hard.

    Although MGS does have hard bosses. Its what Hideo is famous for.

    The End I did not think was all that bad, just the length in time that it took was a while. But I would put Sephiroth as the hardest boss out the ones shown.
