Hardest boss that you have ever faced in any RPG?

[Thomas83Lin]

"Ethereal Queen" in Star Ocean: The Last Hope. still haven't beat this boss.

 

[Hielkenator]

Lavos in chrono trigger , he was a pain in the ass

Oh, yeah such a M****r f****r!

 

[CrimzonEyed]

Hard to say since I have played so many RPGs.
But Ornstein and Smough from dark souls was a pain in the ass. Same with Four Kings.

 

[celeron53]

Brock, playing with Pokemon Yellow. Could not defeat his rock type Pokemons for the life of me.

get a few insect pokemon from the forest and level them up slightly? only thing that made that hard was yourself

Yes, I agree. I am my own worst enemy, maybe the hardest boss in "my RPG". KEKEKKEKEKEKKEKEKE

 

[TyBlood13]

I second Captain Hook in KH:BBS. Took me like TWO WEEKS to beat him!

 

[Blaze163]

Excluding the optional superbosses, because that's too cliche,

- I got stuck on the Materia Keeper in FF7 for a while. Until I actually bothered exploring Nibelhiem, found the Odin materia, switched Aerith back to her level 1 Limit Breaks and paralyzed it with Seal Evil for most of the fight.

- I found FF9's Necron hard, but only because I couldn't concentrate because I was too busy trying to figure out what the fuck he was meant to be.

- A few bosses in Valkyrie Profile 2:Silmeria kicked my ass a few times until I released some einherjar and accidentally used all the resulting stat boost crystal items on Alicia, turning her into a godly all-slayer while everyone else remained pussies, and she wiped the floor with everything solo for pretty much the rest of the game.

- I find the boss of level 11 of Silent Bomber completely impossible because every copy of the game I've ever had has had the same glitch where it locks up at the end of level 10, therefore I've never seen the boss of level 11. Beating me by denying me the opportunity to even try...

Without a doubt the final boss from golden sun 2. That stupid dragon kept putting all my djinni in standby. I may have been severely underleveled but i beat it eventually.

Terranigma - Bloody mary:
very hard if you dont overly grind up untill you get to her. If you level a few levels higher than you need to be when you meet her then shes alot easier, but on first playthrough you dont know that and when you get to her shes like 10x harder than anything you've faced in the game before.

Tales of the abyss (3DS) Ariettas first boss battle AND the first time you fight legretta:
Both these battles are rediculously hard for first time playthroughs and i would be amazed if anyone beat either of these 2 first time. Legretta especially, her damage output is very very high with her gun attacks, trick is to try and avoid her attacks, but with 4 characters to switch between to move them out the way its almost impossible to learn without pre-planning.

Dissidia 012 - feral chaos (The final form fight which you need to beat to unlock him)
TOO god damn hard, i have still not beaten him. I would class this as the hardest boss in any frigging game ever. Not only are his attacks really fast and could destroy your bravery in pretty much 1 hit, he has rediculously high HP and the stage you fight him on is tiny and has nowhere to hide.

Yeah that's not very fun at all. Best advice I could give is stack yourself with items/characters with high bravery and spam bravery attacks. And spam dodge as much as possible. Don't even bother moving normally, just spam dodge.

Although I still haven't beaten him. Did practically everything else in that game except for that.

I beat both of them on my first time.

Im the same, done everything else in the game apart from him, iv watched stratagys of people trying to beat him, tried different characters with the more spammable moves and still cant do it, i have barely even took 1/3 of his life off on the best attempt. I just dont have the patience to beat him anymore either. He is and will probably remain the only boss ill never beat in my life.

Insect is weak to Rock and Rock is resistant to Insect. Also none of the Insect types there learn Grass moves.

The best option to defeat him was a Mankey (if they were available in that game? I thought they were off near the grass leading to the Indigo Plateau) or a Nidoran (if they made Double Kick a fighting move yet).

oh it has litterally been years but I swear you couldn't get a manky that early in the game. Swear I got one of the insect pokemon from the forest, evolved him and grinded him a bit until he could use a poison move then spammed it on his rock pokemon which crippled him. just don't recall the first gym battle being that hard is all

 

[GameWinner]

Some of the Persona 4 boss battles were really hard like:

Spoiler

Shadow Mitsuo, took me weeks to grind and search for personas to fuse

I do agree on the Pokemon Yellow thing, Brock was hard when I was a kid but now I can pretty much mop the floor with him.

 

[SinHarvest24]

I think the emerald/ruby weapons from FFVII is whipping their cock in our faces....

 

[Gundam Eclipse]

Every single fiend and major boss battle from Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne. Also the final bosses.
Nothing else need be said, if you have played the game, you know what I mean.

Shao Kahn in the latest Mortal Kombat. Seriously, fuck him.

EDIT: Both his midgame boss battle and his final boss battle are ridiculously hard.

 

[Felipe_9595]

Zanbamon in Digimon World 2003. First time i met him he totally destroyed me.

Mortal Kombat is an RPG now. You get to level up after every fight in the latest game.
