10 Gaming Boss Battles Ruined By RNG

10. Hilgigars - Final Fantasy IX

Unlike every other boss on this list, RNG mechanics don't make Final Fantasy IX's boss Hilgigars harder to beat, but instead harder to steal from.

In FFIX, stealing from bosses often allows players to obtain extremely rare and powerful items, and in the case of Hilgigars, he has the coveted Fairy Flute in his possession.

Even with the Bandit ability equipped, you've got a 1/256 chance of stealing the Fairy Flute, meaning that successfully acquiring the item from Hilgigars can take literally hours of spamming Steal until you finally hit pay-dirt.

Of course, you could get incredibly lucky and make off with it in just a few attempts, such is the cruelty of the RNG gods.

Either way, this sure seems like an active attempt by Square Enix to piss players off, enough that it basically sours the entirety of the fight.
