>The battle should not be entered without a Costly Punch Materia, which will deal a maximum of 99,999 damage

>Minerva's HP and MP are hidden due to being so high.

I beat her on Hard mode.

I liked Elizabeth’s fight more than Margaret’s

Sephiroth was just a bit more memorable to me than the one you posted because I never played Final Mix

The last one technically counts, if only you couldn’t just drown him in summons

This guy

Best game on NDS, and infuriated me for about a week.

The original motherfucker. You literally can't beat him without tricks.

>retardedly rare paralysis item

>invulnerable to pretty much everything except Ultima/KoTR

>you can't use two of your party members unless you work around it

Seiken Densetsu 3 - Black Rabite. I think only two characters out of 6 can reach it, and even then he's hard to find and even harder to kill.

>tfw only time I beat bonetail was with danger mario on turn 1

Is it wrong to beat him with that strat?

>>13993336

Nope. Running Danger Mario is already, well, dangerous as one slip can mean instant death.

>>13993376

I'm gonna have to agree and Bonetail is an excellent example of that since he gives a badge that does 50% of the damage you take to the opponent who hits you, but seriously, he was the hardest foe, so what does it matter?

The optional boss should be something tough, perhaps post "final" boss and the reward is a different ending. Kirby is one of the only ones who's done it right.

The Etrian Odyssey series usually has the ultimate superboss as your final challenge in the game. They reside in the sixth stratums on the very last floor while the regular final bosses are in the fifth stratums.

Ultima weapon in FF8. 20 minutes of just pure stress.

What did he mean by this?

>>13993948

I never even used ether blossom, or swords at all for that matter.

For me it's was mostly stacking XX slayer and attack augmemts.

On foot it was mostly ghost walker+saber arts spam in infinite overdrive. I guess it isn't much different from ether blossom in principle. But I only fought on foot where it was impossible to go with mech.

>Sirus

Baseline he's the hardest boss in the game including stronger variants of other bosses and the requirement to fight him is that you reach 100% of standard cards.

But then he has V2, V3 and Σ versions of the boss which all majorly spike up.

Barriers that not only block your attacks but are placed to kill the lock quick step mechanic which has been extremely strong on everything else in the series. None of his attacks are directly from him so he has no counter point, lore wise he also revived the previous games secret boss and powered him up to test to see if you'd be any fun to fight.

Only issue with the fight is they missed an obvious exploit with the fight that allows you to completely gimp him.

>Enuo

FF5 isn't too hard when you've busted it's job mechanics open so in the re-release of 5 on GBA they added a boss who's made to take it, just a fun boss hands down, he hits hard has a lot of health to cope with the Double Flares/Holy's with +50% boosts from duel bells + 4 strikes from the 2 strongest weapons each, being slowed vs your party haste and other various bullshits you've acquired over the game.

Just fun to have something was made with all these degenerate combos in mind that would otherwise have trashed everything else in the game.

Shame the classes he unlocks for beating isn't actually any good, I think it's Necromancer and it's got spells stronger then flare/holy and shit but you've just beat the toughest guy in the game .

>Omega Shenron

So normally this game a shitter when it comes to the AI, but in the collectors edition of the game, in the bonus Dragon Arena where you level up to acquire bonus stats for characters, they added an extra fight with this guy if you beat every other fight in the arena, for this fight he's level 140 giving him max in every stat, so he pays half cost for all skills with max energy as his baseline makes punishing anything he does difficult or based on hard exploiting of the AI till he runs out of steam.

One issue is the first time I thought him so I know this can happen, with little energy that the vanish attack can't be used the AI activated hyper mode, grabbed him and then proceeded to infinite him (Hyper mode drains energy till you run out and are in stun, but if you're in hit stun you can't leave it so he was stuck in my infinite without any energy or hope to escape) till he only had a small chuck of HP left, let him down and then did super for game.

Shout out to the guy who did this fight as a Level 1 Trunks though since he'd be doing pot shots of around 20 damage to someone with 7000 while he only had 3000 and gets combo'd for 1500+

>>13993424

life shrooms exist, which means that running danger mario or peril mario doesn't have to be very dangerous.

Still one of the hardest fighting game bosses.

>One of the lowest HP pools in the game. Her cloth for clothing is a good representation of how squishy she is.

>She has nearly infinite meter as it regenerates so fast she can constantly use supers.

>Doesn't actually move. Only teleports and floats off the ground. All her attacks are projectile based too. Some of them being lows and overhead but it's not easy to tell which she'll throw at you so you're forced to stay off the ground if you want to live.

>Can't be combo'd for long as she'll just burst out of it. Which also recharges very fast.

>Can reverse your controls, poison, and slow you down all at the same time.

>Time her out? Can't do that as she'll constantly encase herself in a crystal that constantly regenerates herself even faster. And yes, she's always regenerating even outside said crystal.

>Full screen LV3 super that is identical to the start-up of her crystal super. Expect this to take 70% of your health.

Trying to fight her normally is suicide as it's so hard to get close. Try to build up meter and unleash a very powerful attack when you think she's open. Some characters can OHKO her this way. The easiest way to beat her is to use Mirror arcana and blast her with her own super.

>>13991215

KH2 Seph is a joke while KH1 Seph is pretty tough. There's also KH1:FM Xemnas.

>>13991239

Is he really that tough? It's mostly a long ass battle of endurance in a game where the "battle of attrition" strategy works 90% of the time as the game gives you so many resources to heal your team's HP or MP. I found most bosses in post game Dungeon Travelers 2 tougher than many of the bosses in this thread.

>>13993377

Outside of absurd hitboxes, he's pretty easy. Once you figure out how big his hitboxes are he's not even a threat.

>>13991082

I don't remember most, but I do remember loving that there were final boss battles in the final fantasy games that were actually harder than the regular last boss. Like the ultima weapons in ff7. Those were some insane fights. I remember being scared shitless by the desert ultima. Felt like a real victory when I bet that one.

>>13991082

>ctrl + F

>no Father Rodin

Come on /v/, step it up.

I found these assholes harder than the two Amon fights in 0. Jo/So Amon at least have some stuff you can exploit, these two just dodge everything and hit you from behind all the time on top of having super armour on pretty much all their attacks after you damage them enough.

>>13995048

Oh, my mistake. All I remember is when I was a kid and played it he scared the shit out of me. I was afraid he was going to drag me into the desert like a tremor and eat me. I remember flying above him and just watching the fucker there, nervous as fuck.

oh hey nice JRPG party you got going on there

>The 'Secret Boss' is actually an alternate version of the final boss only fought on the True Route

all of you

One of my favorite boss fights of all time. Especially on hard mode.

This motherfucker is the reason I'm /agdg/ nowadays.

>it's anon's fault that this is a trope most commonly fulfilled in that genre

Seems to me other genres need to catch up.

Bayonetta 2 has that kind of stuff. Bayonetta 1 probably also does and I just haven't seen it yet.

Obviously Cave Story does too, as you show.

I dunno if id call him hard, although I can see why for people who don't play the series. But I've beaten every version Baal in every Disgaea. I think of him more as a checkpoint than anything else since ItemGod's are generally harder than him and I fight them earlier.

>>13998536

>tfw i beat beat ballos on easy mode

>>14000759

>tfw I beat Ballos on a 3HP run on the wii version once with just the polar star

There wasn't even an official hard mode or any benefit to doing it, just pure autistic rage until I finally managed to kill him.

>>14000819

I would rather kill myself irl than do that.

Mogdrogen's a cunt. Also, Ravager in AoM counts too and is fucking ridiculous.

>>13991082

Not that difficult, particularly in terms of how I've found him, but the game did manage to be unfair by making fighing him to be the "wrong" choice.

Although he could have been made hard through "soloing", or maybe even by using only 2 or 3 characters instead of 6. Of course, there are other adjusted ways of playing this game that are common convention.

Perhaps GemRB does or will make it possible to play this game in "heart or fury" mode, then that would make this definitely qualify, not to mention be seriously cool.
