gaming What Video Game levels/bosses make you rage?

[Felix Hawthorne 6]

Level? A lot of World 8 levels in Super Mario Bros. 3 take the cake. Only way I was able to beat the game was by using a P-cloud to skip them all.

 

Boss? Well...nothing comes to mind...I feel like I've been sheltered when it comes to bosses.

[)NightmareLulamoon( 51]

Levels:  When I was little, I COULD NOT get past Sonic 2's Chemical Plant Zone Act 2.... drowned every time (now its a piece of cake xP) and the Water Temple....

 

Bosses:  Lou in GH3 on Expert... Stupid amp overload thing...., the final boss of Final Fantasy 3 cause if you die you go all the way back to the cutscene and the first little fight with him(her? idr), The Fear of Metal Gear Solid 3.. especially when you are low on cure items like bandages and such... grrrr lol  and the bosses in DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 on the 3rd difficulty (sometimes the second too)

[PinkiePai 181]

Oh my dear Luna... -.-'

 

God of war 3, Hades on chaos mode. Holy goddamn pile of horseapples took me 3 days to beat.

 

And well, a level... Hmm. Resident Evil 4 is one of my favorite games, and I always gladly go back to it. But I remember, the first few times I played it, I always ran out of ammo and herbs and got overrun by enemies ( and now I can do half of the game with basically only a knife, on professional mode (!) ). It seemed really hard those first few times, but later you just find some tricks to avoid hard situations completely.

[Creamy Arty 6,251]

Any and all escort missions ever made. Especially those escort missions in which enemies completely ignore you despite you being the only real threat, and only attacking whoever it is you're escorting. Escort missions should be a relic of the past. If anybody here ever goes into game development, have no part in any project involving escort missions.

[Erza 581]

Doom 2 for example it has enemy called cyberdemon!

I blazed at map 32 at nightmare difficulty!

at thirteen seconds only! my feeling was BUCK YEAH!

 

 

and there is a map that i create it all by my self!

 

[kirbyboi 587]

It's Demise.  Ganon isn't in Skyward Sword.

 

Also, if you just wail on him a few times, you can always get a hit in on the third or fourth strike, then you can backflip out of his reach.  Rinse and repeat until the lightning portion.  Easy peasy.

 

 

 

 

Wow, I feel so stupid now...I know he wasn't Ganon or something! I played the game, and I knew he was Demise, but I totally forgot... 

 

Also, thanks for the tip! 

 

 

Back then, I didn't know that you could dodge his attack back doing a backflip, so that's why it made it super hard for me. Then a Youtube video showed me, and afterwards I finally beat him.

 

[Hawk 100]

Let's see, here are a few examples that I can think of:

 

-Pretty much most of the fourth area in the first Rayman for the Playstation.  My god that game was so brutal and unforgiving. 

 

-Quite a few things in World of Warcraft.

 

- The final section of Radiata Stories with the god damn sand that sent you falling back down.... oh that reminds me.

 

- Tower of Babel from Xenogears.  Good... lord... I sitll have nightmares about that abomination of a dungeon.  One wrong move and you go all the way back down.  Between that and loss of fuel for your gears... goooooood times. -_-

 

As for bosses... that one flying boss from Neverland in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days.  Most of that time consisted of me screaming in rage.  It also didn't help matters that the boss had a stupid amount of health. 

[THE WILD HUNT 213]

Nightmare from SoulCalibur. The guy is powerful as he is relentless in attacking you with that giant ass sword of his, meaning by the time I'm actually able to land combos of my own on him I'm already at near quarter health. At that point all Nightmare has to do is grapple me and stab me again.

Duo from Megaman Battle Network 4. In my opinion Duo is by far, the most difficult boss in MMBN. Sure there were difficult moments with bosses like Alpha and Falzar, but Duo's attacks all have a habit of either tagetting half of your field or following you wherever. I'd use my dark chips (very strong attacks) but you''ve been cleansed of your dark soul by this point, rendering them useless. Guess who cleansed you? Duo himself.

Leon from Operation Raccoon City. I'd lob grenades at him, spray him with a machine gun, blast him with a shotgun, and even shoot him with a rocket yet he'd still live. What did a rookie cop use to kill me, a trained assassin from Umbrella? A handgun, whose every hit drained about 4 bars of health from me. Luckily it turned out you can easily kill him with your own handgun, but its still dumb considering 9 mm bullets are his weakness yet rocket heads are like an annoying gnat to him.

 

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,694]

I think the third level of Battletoads was invented as a unique method of torture by the Societ secret police, but when communism fell they turned it into a video game. It's like they lure you in with two great, super-fun levels, and then suddenly decide to punish you for enjoying the game.

 

- The final section of Radiata Stories with the god damn sand that sent you falling back down.... oh that reminds me.

Man, that one is frustrating. Sometimes I whip through the City of White Nights without one mistake, other times I'm stuck in there for an hour. Let's just say that's one of the areas where a game guide really helps. xD

[An Old Head 4,815]

Level-wise, I'd definitely go with the Hall of Former Guys, from I Wanna Be The Guy. That level drove me INSANE. Must have been at least a thousand deaths, combined with eight hours of trying, before I completed it and got to the tower.

 

Boss-wise... hmm. Again, have to give it to I Wanna Be The Guy and the damn Dracula boss. When you had to compete with the two brains at the end, it was almost impossible. At least five hours went into trying to take him down.

 

[Threetrees 14]

Even though most of the bosses in Dark Souls are very difficult, a couple stand out for me. Ornstein and Smough were horrible until I summoned Solaire, which made it infinitely easier. Artorias required knowing his moveset by heart, moreso than the others. He took me an embarrissingly long time to beat...

[TooTsaka 43]

This... Guy.

 

 

Seriously I've never ragequitted a game before I got up to him. I felt proud of finally getting through everything and was prepared to do whatever it takes to BEAT THIS GODDAMN GAME. I was not prepared. Seriously, I must have spent like three hours trying to murder the living SHHH- out of him I got to the third part of the second half of the battle. Holy of all holies was he stupidly difficult to beat. I don't care about trying to beat him now. It just requires way too much effort - and besides, I ALMOST got to the end, didn't I? That's an achievement in its own right.

[Hushabye 47]

The Master in Fallout (should you choose to fight him)

The dragon you can challenge in Blackmarsh in Dragon Age: Awakening

The Harvester in Dragon Age

The Arishock in Dragon Age 2

 

Seeing a pattern here?

[Lateon 588]

I was reminded of the ridiculousness of Rayman 1 for the PSX by an above post. Here's how the difficulty went:

 

- Dream Forest: Hey, this is about normal.

- Band Land: HOLY SHIT I'M SLIDIN' ALL OVER THE PLACE FALLIN' TO DEATH WTHWIFHDSKAFDSFUI

- Blue Mountains: Okay, this is hard, but not as hard as the nightmare that was Band Land. Wonder what's next...

- Picture City: ....kill me. KILL ME NOW!

- Cave of Skops: LAND! OH PRECIOUS LAND! IM OUT OF THAT FINE ARTS HELLHOLE!

- Candy Chateau: Okay, it's the last level. It's supposed to be hard as hell.

 

Keep in mind that I managed to clear all the levels (but not find all the electoon cages) when I was 3 years old, when I first played it in 1997. Then I went back and played it when I was 17, and thought, "WHAT SORT OF PRODIGY CHILD WAS I?!" after failing at Band Land's first level over...and over...and over....

 

Other stupidly hard games/levels I've played: Head to Head and The Project in Gex 1 for the PSX (if anyone knows what I'm talking about..../sigh), that one bit in Jak 2 where you're out in the piers and the cops send an entire goddamn army to kill you, the later minigames in Crash Bash, any water level in Legend of Zelda...I'm sure there are others. Oh, multiple moments in Super Meat Boy.

 

Bosses:

- Viking AND Regular Space Mama from Picture City in Rayman. Holy shit, she was the worst fight of all time.

- Heroic Hagara the Stormbinder on 10 man difficulty in World of Warcraft.

- Heroic Spine of Deathwing on 10 man difficulty in World of Warcraft....so...many...wipes...I kept count, we wiped 90 times. NINETY! 7 MINUTES EACH TIME!

- Freakin' Boost Guardian in Metroid Prime 2. SO STUPID

Three hours to kill The Guy? Wow, I got that dude down in one hour. Didn't you have more trouble with Dracula? I tell you, Dracula should have become the new The Guy.

 

Tell you what though, that feeling of accomplishment when you defeat him, and then the entire game... nothing is sweeter.

I'm serious, lol. I am guessing how much time I spent on trying to kill him. I don't really know how long exactly I spent on it. I didn't have nearly as much trouble beating Dracula as I did trying to kill the Guy. I mean... I got past him in the end, didn't I? With the Guy... it just wasn't happening.

If you really want to see the ending, just type E, N, D on your keyboard in that order during the The Guy fight.

 

I hope that someday you will eventually best that Guy - if you can clear Dracula, Mother Brain and the Hall of Former Guys, determination will see The Guy dead on the floor. ^.^

Dark souls generally feels fair and when you die repeatedly for hours on the same enemy, it will generally feel like your fault. Not the Capra Demon. Not the Capra demon...

I must have been very lucky then! I remember beating the Capra Demon after a couple of tries  by hiding in the right side and swinging at the dogs randomly... What really bugged me in that area were the wolves stunning me and thiefs jumping on my back immediately afterwards.

[Anadu Kune 668]

I get really angry at the typical rpg end boss battles in general. Specifically Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. Not specificaly because they are hard, but man how many times do I have to defeat this guy. 

 

Ahhh you defeated and mortally injured me.......FOOL!!! That only made me more powerful!!!

 

Ahhhhhh you defeated me yet again! FOOLISH FOOL!!! Im yet more powerful!!!!

 

Ahhhhhhhhh You know what F it! Giant monstrous abomination time!!! Oh and in case you didnt get it Im more powerful.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh come on! I thought for certain that would kill you.....ok not as powerful any more but still pretty good.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I think you killed me this time......yep I got nothing.

I* know this is kinda old, but I just hate it when you finish a level on Super Mario and then Toad is like "Oh, too bad! The princess is in a different castle!" And I'm like, f*ck you mushroom boy...

EDIT: 

Oh, and also Wizpig from Diddy Kong Racing 64!

Oh god...

 

Twinkle Snow boss from sonic advance 3. Son of a... that thing was stupidly hard!

 

What is eggman even doing anyway? Surely by now he's realised that he's never going to win...

[Lateon 588]

UPDATE: Freakin' bonus level/sacred grounds/whatever-the-hell-it's-called in Cave Story. 3 floors of death, a miniboss, and then a four form final boss, all without a save point or a life refill. GG

 

Excuse me while I continue attempting this hell. I can call it that, because both the game (a sign when you enter says "Welcome to Hell!") and the OST acknowledge it.

[Mutemutt 772]

The boss of the void quest dungeon in Persona 4 made me rage quit after instant killing my entire party twice. I was under leveled (as usual) so it took quite a long time to bring his health down that low. I could accept getting game over'd the first time since it was a surprise, but the second time I knew it would come but I couldn't stop it. I 

[Zalgo 593]

Gary. Mother. F***ing. Oak.

 

I was NOT prepared for that battle. I didn't think the game would take control and automatically make me walk up to him ;-;

 

None of my Pokemon were healed, so I got absolutely destroyed.

 

Even worst, I had to fight Lance again because that was the last place I saved :mad:

 

Also, the Enderdragon from minecraft...

 

It's just so... Impossible to beat legitimately. ._.

 

I waltzed into the End with full diamond gear, tons of obsidian, two bows and three stacks of 64 arrows, two stacks of 64 steak, snow and pumpkins to make snow golems (Snowballs damage the enderdragon), and a diamond sword with almost every enchantment.

(all actually legit)

 

The second I make it to the main island, the Enderdragon rams into me, and sends me literally hundreds of blocks into the air.

 

Needless to say, I die of fall damage.

 

FUUUUUUU
