Most frustrating boss fights of all time

[Chun Liroy]

Yeah but I play with only the cool characters. And the answer to that is Lulu Auron and Tidus. Healerwut.

[Elcura]

I remember Ruby Weapon was a shit ton easier then Emerald. The trick was just to have Barrett come into the fight solo with the other party members dead or something like that if I remember correctly.

Also for FFX, Yuna/Rikku/Tidus is the right answer. Impossible to lose if you have a remote idea of what you're doing.

Wakka/Rikku/Tidus

Everyone has the same spells, all that matters is overdrive. And mixing items (hyper mighty guard ftw), attack reels and blitz ace are the fucking best. Summons are cool, but once you blow your overdrive wad that's it for them.

[Cesaria]

Bleh Wakka does that weird ass pelvic thrust crap after each fight that's faintly disturbing (and I can't be arsed to play blitzball to make him any good). Yuna/Tidus/Auron please - Rikku's just the mandatory underdressed RPG slapper character.

I um... accidentally saved over my fella's FFX save game - he was just getting ready to take on Penance as well - he took the news suprisingly well considering (serves him right for thinking it was funny to send me a route that ran me right into the dark Magus Sisters when I was somewhat more clueless).

This was easily the most intense series of battles in the whole game and if you saved in-between and got surprised with that 1v1 with Ramza and Wiegraf you were fucked.

Let's not forget his spam summoning of Cyclops which could easily wreck your units while the Ultima demons picked you off when you were low on HP. Coming off Queklain who was a pushover, this guy brought the level of "tactics" up to a whole new tier.

I really wished the other zodiac demons but up the kind of fight Velius did.

<3 me some demonic ram/goat warlock.

This, a 100x this. Its exactly what happened to me when I was like 12. Dear god, I got myself stuck right before the 1 on 1 fight and it made me have to restart the whole game so I could prepare better for it. The roof fight after this one was a joke.

How they look has nothing to do with how good they are in a fight. And hell, between Yuna and Lulu, Rikku was the only interesting girl in that game.

Actually just replayed this game last week haha. This time around tha fight was joke. Made ramza a ninja with concentrate. He 1 shot Wiegraf and I got lucky with no counter, then I set up another ninja with concentrate, 2 lancers and a black mage. I forgot the combination I used in previous playthroughs

[Tobi]

I never did finish FFT because of that fight... I should one day go through the game again so I can finally finish it once and for all.

[Nahiatsu]

No words to describe this fight

This. I actually took a 2 week break from TLR after losing this fight probably close to 50 times. There-after I probably took another 5-10 tries to kill it.

Really was the worst boss in that game. What was even worse, is there's an even harder version of it as a secret hunt or whatever for the guild.

I haven't played The Last Remnant whatsoever. Out of curiosity, what is it (in layman's terms) that makes that boss so ridiculous?

I actually just did the fight too, been replaying FFT. I've played it through so many times now though that I don't mind being cheap. I usually just have ramza go Squire and spam Yell and Accumulate and then he kills Wiegraf in 1 shot. Then I use him to kill the minions before anyone can even move lol. After that I started to feel cheap so I kept ramza away from Velius and let my other members do something xD

The battle starts with Hell's Gate + other (Not so hard enemies) and you get like the first 2 turns or so Hell's-gate-free. Usually to clear the adds. Rush will prompt to summon Cyclops, and Cyclops will kill shit.

The rage-part of this battle, is that Hell's Gate will often go twice (Once at the beginning of round, and then once at the end of round) while also attacking each Union that engages it. This often kills at least one Union if you're not careful.

But losing a group isn't that bad right? This is the first fight where the game introduces "Enthrall" status ailment. In which, Hell's gate can use on any knocked out Union, and they become enemies in Hell's Gate's aid.

This is rage-worthy. Not only are you trying to damage Hell's Gate, you're trying to keep up on curing, keep up on reviving before turns' end (To avoid Enthralls), and if cyclops dies and get's enthralled you might as well just reset because the fight just got stupid. In the chance a group is enthralled, you have to kill that group, revive them, and hope that Hell's gate doesn't obliterate more Unions in the process.

I thought I was servilely over-leveled before this point, this game taught me there is no such thing as over-leveled. After losing so much, I just said fuck this and took a break. Later on I gave it a few more tries. And the time I beat it, I must have got lucky or something, because it was painfully easy to kill. Maybe the game just felt bad for me.

the only way I beat Gates of Hell was by chance my healing group learned Rejuvenating Water mid-fight and saved everyone.

Also after hours and hours of leveling in Ancient Ruins I found the 2nd optional Gates boss pretty easy, or at least easier than the first. I had a harder time with the royal flush beastmen dudes, at least until Irina learned Fatal Eclipse.

Last Remnant is one of those games that I'm really glad I played (and put well over 200 hours into) but I will never, ever play ever again.

Completely agree with ya there, after I beat it, never playing again. I can see how the second version of it's easier, because you're not forced to fight it and can prepare for it lol. First version it's part of the story and there's a nice save point (With warning that you can't go back of course, this should have been my first DUH) right before it so you get stuck there if you save lol.
