10 Exact Moments That Saved Terrible Video Game Bosses

10. Wrecking Wesker With A Rocket Launcher - Resident Evil 5

As fun as the idea of battling Albert Wesker inside of an active volcano sounds, Resident Evil 5's final boss is ultimately a frustrating slog, boulder punching-insanity aside.

There are a few things that render the final clash intensely annoying: if you're low on ammo you're basically screwed, shooting Wesker's small weak spot is a chore, the QTEs are exhausting, and co-op players are put at a significant disadvantage by some of the hellacious button-mashing required.

Yet your perseverance is rewarded with a final outcome that's most certainly worth all those deaths and restarts. After finally defeating Wesker, a cutscene will see Chris and Sheva rescued via helicopter by Jill and Stone.

But a lava-soaked Wesker makes one final stand, trying to pull the chopper into the lava, until Chris and Sheva both grab tandem rocket launchers and fire them at him.

In glorious slow-motion, we get to see the rockets hit Wesker right in the face, exploding him into meaty, magma-y chunks.

While the boss fight itself was more irritating than fun, at least it gave us a definitive ending for Wesker worthy of his status as the series' all-timer antagonist: eating two rockets while on fire.
