What’s a secret boss you got stuck on for hours? Share your painful memories in the comments!

I'm a simple man, I see Yozora in the thumbnail, I watch. 😎

[hundred]

Yozora should be 1 just cuz you gotta fight 13 superbosses just to get a shot at him

[rdpruett]

Square Enix really have made some godlike secret bosses

[abdisaid]

Holy shit, they’ve finally added Yozora to a list!

[SpammytheHedgehog]

I'll be honest. I "Raged Quit" Kingdom Hearts 3 and started over just to get the cheat codes. 😂😂

If I remember correctly, when I was looking for strategies for beating Yozora (it was that bad), I found out that he doesn’t actually have an attack pattern. His attacks are completely random and I experienced several times starting the fight and immediately being hit with his DM.

The other Velvet Room attendant fights deserve a shout-out. Margaret's in Persona 4 is only accessible on a New Game Plus (I think specifically from the True Ending), after completing her social link and hitting another plot trigger, and she can and will wipe your party if you don't beat her within a set number of turns. She's also a hidden boss in Persona 3 Portable, after clearing an entire mini-dungeon full of boss fights, some of them harder rehashes of the Full Moon bosses and some with specific combat gimmicks.

Elizabeth and Theodore (P3) are fightable on your first play... if you complete the quest chain of defeating one or more of each rare Shadow AND THE REAPER. You're required to come without the rest of your party, and if you have a Persona up that does more than Resist any kind of attack, they will insta-kill you.

I love it when you place megami tensei as number 1. That game is just nightmares.

[AnUnwillingZebra]

Yozura and Lingering Will are way harder than Malenia 😂

[colinledoux]

I can confirm I actually beat Lavenza, Rodin, Lingering Will and Yozora and they were a very challenging fight.

[RhyperiorRanger]

Mysterious Figure from Birth By Sleep is harder than Lingering Will and TECHNICALLY Yozora. You can train and beat Lingering Will fair and square, Mysterious Figure is straight up an unfair fight. He’s too fast and his combos shred your HP like wet tissue paper. You gotta use specific cheesy strategies to beat him

[SnakeEater]

If you consider Lavenza difficult, you never challenged Elizabeth in Persona 3.

[jacobdrolet]

Amazing video mojo plays, fantastic job.

[quisegotthapiece]

I'm glad Demi Fiend was mentioned. The hardest boss I've ever fought. Followed by Lingering Will, Yiazmat, and Malenia

[dabomb]

Shout out to Serenade from Megaman Battle Network 3 (both versions), and Bass from Megaman Battle Network 6. Serenade is invincible unless attacking, and Bass's final form moves very fast, both hitting harder than the final bosses.

[MhuFox]

To this day, if I open may save file in P5R, there's only 1 ingame achievement left. And that is to beat Lavenza. I already beat Elizabeth in P3R and Margaret in P4G. But Lavenza, nope, the catch is hard to follow. Good thing the Red Dragon in Metaphor is much easier than the 3 ladies.

NGL The fight with Yozora gave me PTSD

[ogataisshinsai]

3:45 demon of hatred has been designed like a " dark soul boss " but that doesnt match in sekiro,

In my opinion is harder harder than ishin ashina cause in order to countering him you have to dodge him instead 😅 but dodging in sekiro is such hellish task to do for those who already played it that was a pain to beat him for me 😅

[Jeremy-qlor]

If anyone is still having trouble with the Nameless King, respec to be a pyromancer and use Chaos Vestige on him. You can take out both stages in a few hits.
