After the first worst bosses list, I failed to believe that there could exist আরো awful bosses. I have hope in game creators that they will do everything in their power to make bosses আরো fun, challenging, and worth my time, and would never find আরো bosses as bad as those in the past… I was an idiot to think that! While I do believe there exists আরো good video game bosses than bad bosses, that doesn’t mean there aren’t bad video game bosses out there. And let me tell you, they are, for a fact, out there. And they are really bad. So, naturally, the same rules as it was previously, only bosses from games that I have played and only one per franchise. Simple as that. These bosses blow. Let’s go!


~#10~


As much as I will always say that I prefer Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask over Ocarina of Time any দিন of the week, I will admit that Ocarina excelled at some things where Majora’s Mask fell flat. While Majora’s Mask had a better story and side quests, Ocarina of time did have a আরো expansive world to explore, if a little barren, but at least আরো accurate and less Mario-styled like Majora’s Mask. And the bosses in Ocarina of Time, I found to be much আরো fun. Majora’s Mask’ bosses range from one great, the rest being okay… to Gyorg.


#10: Gyorg from Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask





First off, let’s talk about Gyorg’s name… What the hell is that? What kind of name is Gyorg? That isn’t even creative. That’s just pure gibberish. The name, however, is far from being the worst part of this boss. It’s important to note that this boss is at the end of the Great উপসাগর Temple, the worst dungeon in, debatably, all of Zelda. A confusing mess to traverse through and being constantly carried দ্বারা heavy currents. So already, anyone could easily be in a bad mood. And Gyorg is just there to make things worse. At least Morpha, while being trash, আপনি could stay on dry land. Gyorg will cower under the water juuuust out of reach of your projectiles and forcing আপনি to go into the water. Once আপনি are inside, if আপনি aren’t on him in an instant, you’ve already হারিয়ে গেছে him. But don’t worry, it won’t be long before আপনি find him, coming out of nowhere and eating আপনি alive, doing a large amount of damage. After some point in the fight, it will send out little baby fishes, as if trying to fight the camera wasn’t enough. The camera in this fight does everything to work against. If আপনি wanna avoid getting hit, if আপনি don’t see him as soon as আপনি enter the water, start running, and don’t stop until আপনি feel like your safe. And trust me, আপনি really aren’t safe. It’s like the water dungeons in Zelda games are made to be awful, and Great উপসাগর Temple is no exception.


~#9~


Dead Rising, the first one, while not perfect দ্বারা any means, is still a fun game, and still my পছন্দ of the series. The psychopath bosses in this game are also pretty fun. Adam is a lovable bastard, Kent is a snarky douchebag, and Cliff will always be my পছন্দ boss in the series. But sadly, like Dead Rising itself, the boss তালিকা isn’t perfect. আপনি do have bosses like Carlito with a rifle… and Cletus.


#9: Cletus from Dead Rising





While দ্বারা far much better than Sullivan just for the simple fact that he is optional in the game, Cletus is still an annoying bastard. As soon as the cutscene prior to the boss fight ends and আপনি are in gameplay, আপনি have no time to react to getting shot. আপনি will take a hit, regardless, unless you’re moving immediately. And once আপনি get that done, congratulations, আপনি avoided one of the many bullshit hits. আপনি win an extra সেকেন্ড before you’re health is drained because আপনি don’t know what to do. If আপনি are inside the gunshop, আপনি are just screwed. Since the shotgun can spread, it will hit আপনি and it will hit আপনি hard, and not only will it instantly knock down one block of health, it can also stun আপনি and even knock আপনি on your feet, giving Cletus just enough time to reload and আগুন again! All আপনি can do is hide outside of the store and shoot at him with some low level handguns আপনি probably got from some zombies. If আপনি didn’t know that, you’re just shit out of luck, because the only handguns are in the store, and আপনি know what that means. Run out into the line of আগুন just to get a weak gun and probably die in the process. And if that wasn’t enough, if আপনি take too long, Cletus will take out a bottle of wine and fully heal himself. Again, this is far from as bad as Sullivan, as I said, this is an optional boss fight and can easily be avoided. It isn’t even mentioned as a side quest. And, it is lower, because if আপনি do manage to unlock the Mega Buster, Cletus, like every other boss in the game, is reduced to a pathetic weakling.


~#8~


Can we get one good fighting game boss? Just one? Why do they all have to be cheap and hard to kill. Can we get one that looks intimidating and is just as skilled as a real player instead of spamming stupid, cheap, unavoidable bullshit? What I’m trying to say is that the final boss of Skullgirls is the one bad part of Skullgirls.


#8: Marie from Skullgirls





As far as cheap bosses go, Marie is probably one of the worse. Marie is nowhere near as unfair and as bullshit as Shao Kahn, but আপনি can at least predict some of Shao Kahn’s attacks. Not all, but some. With Marie, it is impossible to predict all except a select few. All of her attacks immediately come at আপনি while আপনি are fighting and আপনি get absolutely no warning as to what you’re supposed to do to avoid it. The first form of Marie starts with her standing in place as she launches skulls at আপনি when আপনি get close. The problem is that, considering it’s a fighting game, আপনি kind of need to be close unless some of your characters miraculously has a projectile. If আপনি are close, আপনি will have little time to notice the skulls flying at you, অথবা the giant skeletal monster flying towards আপনি that does several hits as it passes দ্বারা you. Marie’s সেকেন্ড form will give her the ability to summon a skeleton with a tommy gun that shoots আপনি several times and a shadow figure that is only predictable for a few seconds, before it leaves the screen and then flies towards আপনি with a fast and hard punch. And the final phase has her using all of this, only now, Marie is constantly moving around the screen and she can only be hit with upward অথবা jumping attacks. Even if আপনি have a special সরানো that could hit her, good luck getting a hit in. She is always moving and if আপনি have to be on the ground for it to work, believe me, it’s not going to work. And even then, it still may not work. Try beating her on the hardest possible difficulty. Trust me, it’s like trying to dodge rain in a hurricane. It ain’t easy. Neither is this boss.

(SPOILERS FOR NO আরো নায়ক 2: DESPERATE STRUGGLE)


I doubt that I will ever find a game franchise that has excited me আরো than the No আরো নায়ক franchise. This was a game series I had desperately wanted to play for years and struggled to do so…. That was fucking terrible! So, when I played No আরো নায়ক 2: Desperate Struggle, I can say a few things for sure. In some cases, the bosses were much better than the original game. And in other cases, such as the case with the final boss, it was much, much worse than the original.


#7: Jasper Batt Jr. from No আরো নায়ক 2: Desperate Struggle





প্রদত্ত that I have both reviewed No আরো নায়ক 2 and discussed this boss in my পূর্ববর্তি Best and Worst bosses list, I’ll try to keep from mentioning similar things and just discuss this boss as fast as I can. Jasper Batt Jr. is a boss with three phases, and each one is a sign of a bad final boss. The first phase starts out very easy, with Jasper firing easy to avoid lasers and not even trying bats. After আপনি defeat that phase, the fight gets much, much worse. In the সেকেন্ড phase, it goes from pathetically easy, to complete cheap bullshit. Jasper will মুষ্ট্যাঘাত আপনি around the room, giving আপনি very little time to react once আপনি get up, and even then, আপনি have no time to react because আপনি have to deal with Jasper constantly throwing punches and trying to suplex আপনি into the ground. And, I’ve ব্যক্ত this many times before, but avoid the windows. Avoid them like the plague. Because if আপনি get in between Jasper’s মুষ্ট্যাঘাত and a window, he will send আপনি right through it and it will be an instant death, with no way of avoiding it and you’ll have to start from the beginning of the সেকেন্ড phase. But nothing is compared to the third and final phase, where Jasper becomes a giant parade float…. Yes, really. Not only are আপনি now having to fight Jasper as he hits আপনি with hard to avoid attacks and sometimes just waiting for the game to let আপনি win, but আপনি also now have to fight against the camera, which can get stuck because Jasper is such a big target, আপনি may not be able to see what’s going on.Who designed this awful camera work for the boss? The Devil May Cry team? Regardless, as much as Jasper is a terrible boss, I think that many people have slightly blew it out of proportions. He is terrible, one of the worst bosses I have ever faced. But he isn’t impossible. It just takes knowing when to strike and just going right to him. Plus the game being generous with allowing আপনি to save yourself from death when আপনি run out of health makes the boss a little easier. Still, a terrible way to end No আরো নায়ক 2 if আপনি ask me.


~#6~


Resident Evil Zero is a game I am very… mixed about. I’d go into আরো detail than that, but trust me, I have a whole তালিকা planned for that occasion. So, with that out of the way, let’s discuss the bosses instead. The bosses in this game aren’t great. The বৃশ্চিক boss sucked, the শতপদী boss sucked, Proto-Tyrant is okay, the Leech কুইন sucked, but the Infected Bat...Oh boy.


#6: Infected Bat from Resident Evil Zero





Let me tell আপনি something right now. Resident Evil was not a game made to handle multiple enemies in one room all coming at আপনি real fast. It was not meant to be a big run and gun game. I’ll get to that crap in a bit. Let’s talk about the first part of the boss and why that alone is terrible. The Infected Bat, despite being a big target, is very hard to hit with some weapons. It will mostly fly above আপনি and out of your view of the camera as আপনি just have to wait for it to প্রদর্শনী up. Once it does প্রদর্শনী up, it gives barely enough time to react. আপনি have to shoot it the very সেকেন্ড it comes flying at you. If আপনি stall for a second, আপনি will be taking a hit. But আপনি will never know when it will be coming at আপনি because the camera is always locked in one spot and stops just short of where আপনি can see the Infected Bat. And it can also grab you, lift আপনি off the ground, and fly around, hurting you, before dropping আপনি to the ground. A lot of bosses have this annoying mechanic where they grab আপনি and hurt you, and it gets real annoying. But the fight only gets worse, because as soon as আপনি widdle it’s health down enough, a group of smaller bats will come in, and this is where the fight becomes atrocious. Like I ব্যক্ত before, Resident Evil was not meant for আপনি to handle several enemies. The same strategy still stands, wait for the bat to fly at আপনি and hit it. Only now, because of the auto lock on in Resident Evil Zero, আপনি may end up aiming at one of the smaller bats flying around the area, and that will greatly screw আপনি over because আপনি could either waste a bullet from a powerful gun on them অথবা end up aiming at the wrong enemy as the Infected Bat flies at you. The বৃশ্চিক boss, the শতপদী boss, and the কুইন Leech were no winners, I assure you, but they at least had the decency to fight আপনি on their own without যেভাবে খুশী enemies getting in the way. The Infected Bat? Not so much.


~#5~


I did once have plans for making a শীর্ষ 5 Best and Worst bosses for Dark Souls 2, but the আরো I played it, the আরো I realised, “Wow, there aren’t many memorable bosses from this game, is there. In fact, a majority of them are just okay at best”. If আপনি want my honest thoughts, the Looking Glass Night was the best boss and Royal ইঁদুর Authority is the absolute worst.


#5: Royal ইঁদুর Authority from Dark Souls 2





The first thing আপনি should notice about this boss and how much of a problem it is can be seen from the Fog Gate alone. There is a bonfire right outside the boss room. So, when আপনি die, আপনি can just run right back in and get a do over. That is how আপনি know that this will be one of the worst bosses in the game. The moment আপনি step through the door, আপনি will see a giant ইঁদুর on the শীর্ষ of a platform with four smaller rats at the bottom. What আপনি want to do is simple. Kill those four rats. Fast! Using your strongest projectile as fast as আপনি can. The reason is because those rats are carrying Toxic, a status ailment that will deplete your health at a much faster rate than Poison. Once আপনি are Toxic, আপনি might as well just die right then and there, because there is no way to get নিরাপদ from that, because the Royal ইঁদুর Authority will continue to leap at you. And আপনি want to kill the smaller rats before the Royal ইঁদুর Authority joins the fight. Even if আপনি aren’t hit with Toxic, he can kill আপনি while আপনি are dealing with them and kill আপনি in a few seconds. Once the smaller rats are dead, if আপনি somehow manage to kill them in your first few tries, the rest of the boss is simple. But the boss appears to have a similar moveset. One of a giant four-legged creature. Yeah, the boss is just a reskinned Sif from the first Dark Souls. Only instead of being a fun and emotional fight, আপনি get this annoying one. But I am feeling some emotions alright! That’s for damn sure! I’ve also heard rumors that the boss’ hitbox makes absolutely no sense. আপনি could roll out of the way of an attack, but আপনি will still get hit regardless of what আপনি do. This was the Dark Souls 2 equivalent of Sif… Let that describe the quality of the bosses in this game compared to the first Dark Souls.


~#4~


Mortal Kombat: Armageddon was a terrible game. Bad combat, generic fighting, and a Konquest mode that made Deception’s look good, with some of the worst story লেখা and most bland fighting mecaniques in a Mortal Kombat game thus far. But don’t worry, because Konquest mode allowed আপনি to beat up enemies outside of 1 v. 1 fighting, almost like a beat ‘em up. A very sloppy one. And there were bosses in them… And these bosses sucked. But of course, one of them is worse than the rest.


#4: Shao Kahn Colossus from Mortal Kombat: Armageddon





আপনি thought Mortal Kombat 9 had the first shit Shao Kahn fight? Well, allow me to প্রদর্শনী আপনি the Shao Kahn Colossus from Armageddon, while not being worse, it’s still bad on it’s own. The first thing to note about this boss is that, since it’s a colossus, আপনি have no means of fighting it. The boss will আগুন projectiles at আপনি from across the room and ground pound, sending আপনি flying. Instead of hitting the boss, আপনি are resorted to running around the room like an idiot and launching fireballs at four glowing spots on each side of the room. After that, আপনি have to slowly and painstakingly lure the Shao Kahn Colossus to a বৃত্ত in the center of the room, while he is still firing at আপনি with projectiles, and then ground pound a button to send a beam of energy at the Colossus. But of course, that only brings him down to half health. If আপনি want to kill him, আপনি have to do the same thing again! And while আপনি are doing this, আপনি won’t be able to look at him and see the projectiles flying at you. And if আপনি are on the ground, he can still hit you, giving আপনি no breaks from his constant onslaught. So not only can he hit আপনি from miles away, he also takes his sweet time for আপনি to get a chance to hit him. Despite all of that, the boss is also really short, and can be beaten in a few seconds, if the AI allows it. But until আপনি get the chance to defeat him, have fun being sent flying through the air a few times.


~#3~


Man, Devil May Cry 3 was such a great game. Dare I say it, it’s the best in the series. Though, I think many will agree with me on that account. So tell me why they had to go and make a boss like Arkham and put him in the game, and just have to ruin it’s chance of perfection? Just why?!


#3: Arkham from Devil May Cry 3





From the start of the boss, it may not seem like the best boss in the game, but it isn’t too bad… Yet! His attacks mainly consist of him flailing his arms around and running around the room, making it a bit annoying to combo him with any melee weapons. A real annoying attack of his is when he sinks into the floor and creates an army of these slug creatures that will jump at আপনি and attack আপনি all at once. If আপনি aren’t constantly moving, অথবা have an area clearing item, আপনি will be taking a few hits from them, guaranteed. But, like I said, this isn't where the fight because terrible. No, the fight becomes terrible when Vergil shows up. And I never thought I would ever have to say things get worse when Vergil shows up. When the fight starts, আপনি can ask Vergil to help আপনি out দ্বারা pressing the B button. That sounds sick, doesn’t it? Well, it would be, if it wasn’t for the fact that it takes away your skill that আপনি choose at the beginning of the game. Well, as আপনি continue the fight, you’ll notice something. Where’s my fucking Styles?! In Devil May Cry, আপনি can choose four styles before each level. One’s that allow better blocking, shooting, melee, অথবা dodging. Well, in this fight, আপনি get nothing, because the button to use your Style is replaced with a button to call Vergil over. As handy as Vergil is in this fight, that doesn’t help when the slugs are jumping আপনি and constantly beating আপনি because your Royalguard Style is now gone অথবা আপনি can’t get any good dodged because your Trickster Style is now gone. Depending on how much আপনি relied on that Style, আপনি will get annihilated very quickly, and it’s what makes the fight with Arkham so much worse than it could have been. Thankfully, আপনি get one of the best fights in the entire series afterward, but that still doesn’t save the atrocious fight with Arkham.


~#2~


(SPOILERS FOR FINAL ফ্যান্টাসি XIII)


I have ব্যক্ত it before, and I will say it many times in the future. I hate Final ফ্যান্টাসি XIII. I do not like the combat system, I think the story is really dumb and confusing, the world makes আপনি feel trapped and unable to break out of it, and the characters are okay at best and Lightning at worst. And then there is the main villain, Barthandelus, অথবা মহাকাশ Pope to the internet. I know that, as the main villain, he should appear numerous times… But does he gotta suck every time?
#2: Barthandelus from Final ফ্যান্টাসি XIII

There are only two ways I know how to beat this boss. Believe me, none of them are any good. The best way is to do the obvious. GRIND! Grind until আপনি are at the peak of the level আপনি need to be in the game. If আপনি aren’t at the very point of leveling up, than আপনি may not stand a chance against the boss. The other tactic is to level up just enough and then be prepared for a long and rather boring fight. The reason I say that is because, if আপনি have the right strategy, you’ll never really be in any danger when আপনি go up against Barthandelus. Well, until আপনি get hit with some সরানো that makes আপনি think, “Wow, that was fucking cheap”, mainly because if the party leader dies, everyone dies. Oh yeah, it’s one of those JRPGs! If it wasn’t good in Persona 4, what makes Final ফ্যান্টাসি XIII think it will be better. So yeah, this fight will drag on and on and on until either he dies, আপনি die, অথবা your brain cells just quit completely. The fight will be nothing আরো than a bore, but hey, at least আপনি got a strategy that will kill him soon- Wait a minute! I almost forgot! In Final ফ্যান্টাসি XIII, bosses have this thing where, if they believe that আপনি are taking up too much of their time, they will speed the fight up, অথবা make আপনি speed it up, দ্বারা introducing a Doom ailment to your party leader. What this does is start a countdown over the leaders head. If আপনি don’t beat the boss before the timer reaches zero (Trust me, আপনি won’t beat him before that time), then আপনি will automatically die, lose the fight, and have to restart the entire fight. This is the way of the game telling আপনি to get out of here and grind until আপনি can kill the boss quick enough. That is the thing that made me hate the Barthandelus fights that much more. Because it just decided that it doesn’t feel like taking too long and just ends the fight right then and there. And worst part, আপনি have to fight this boss again two আরো times. Granted, after the first appearance, আপনি get used to what আপনি have to do and now that আপনি need to grind in order to defeat him, but that doesn’t make the fight any better. They all still suck. And so does this game.


~#1~


I knew from the very start that I had to put this boss at the number one spot. This may just be a boss that no one has ever talked about, but they should. They really should. Because this boss is terrible in every way. Nothing about this boss works. It is atrocious. And that boss is Jen from Primal


#1: Possessed Jen from Primal





Okay, so in this boss fight, Jen, your character that আপনি use for your combat, ends up getting possessed দ্বারা the big bad guy of the general area. So, instead, আপনি have to play as Scree, the weaker and smarter of the two. So, you’d think you’d probably have to solve a complicated puzzle অথবা do a pretty average stealth sequence, correct? No! Instead, আপনি must fight Jen head on. Alright, that’s not so bad. Maybe I could get a real strong statue to fight her with- Here is this new statue with an all new fighting style আপনি have no idea about. Start fighting right now. That’s right, আপনি have a new character to play as, and আপনি get no time to react as Jen rushes towards you, ready for a fight. Because she is moving while আপনি are taking control of the other statue, আপনি will be taking at least one hit right off the bat. It’s a guaranteed hit and impossible to avoid. After that, Jen will start to throw constant combos at you, combos that আপনি don’t have when আপনি play as Jen. And আপনি have to deal with them, which are almost unblockable in some cases, and can really mess আপনি up if আপনি aren’t careful. She can keep up this combo until আপনি are dead. Another thing that really irritates me, আপনি know, besides the boss room being pretty small in comparison to other areas, is that আপনি are not able to parry Jen. When আপনি knock her attack out of the way, and go for a strike, she will always dodge out of the way. But when Jen parries, it always manages to hit you, regardless if আপনি manage to dodge অথবা block. আপনি will get hit and আপনি can’t do a thing about it. This is what we like to call Fucking Bullshit! The boss has every single advantage over আপনি and makes the choice of weather আপনি get to win and সরানো on with the game অথবা not. It becomes such a pain after a while that আপনি just want to scream in utter anger. The only way to beat this boss, as far as I know, is to psyche her out repeatedly. When she isn’t attack, that’s when আপনি need to do a big swipe and finish her off. The fact that আপনি need to resort to cheating is almost as bad as another boss that I know. But that’s beside the point. Regardless, Jen is a boss that took me, no joke, two hours to beat, because of how much bullshit was in this fight. The only plus side is that আপনি can save the game at any point, so আপনি can start right outside the boss room. And thank god for that, because I don’t think I could have handled going through that level. So, there আপনি go. Possessed Jen. Worst boss I ever fought. I’m going to go play Persona now.
