10 Most Frustrating Bosses In Horror Video Games
10. Jill Valentine - Resident Evil 5 (2009)
With Chris Redfield returning to the spotlight, Resident Evil 5 saw the former STARS agent travel to West Africa where he’s tasked with thwarting bioterrorist Ricardo Irving.
Late into the game, however, it’s revealed that Jill Valentine has been under the control of Albert Wesker. After the unveiling of this pivotal plot point, it’s time for a boss fight against Wesker and Jill. Unfortunately, there’s nothing thrilling about this encounter.
Firstly, all that needs to be done in the first stage is avoid Wesker for seven minutes. It’s not an exciting battle, but he’ll leave when the time elapses, leaving Chris to deal with his former partner.
The goal now is to remove the mind control device from Jill's chest. But before Chris can remove it, he’s got to catch her first. And this is where things get annoying.
With Jill dashing around the arena at lightning speed, this portion of the fight becomes a prolonged game of cat and mouse as players run after her. The difficulty comes not from the level of challenge, but in hoping she'll stay still long enough to initiate the quick time event.
Moreover, the AI-controlled Sheva frequently getting in Chris's path doesn't help matters much either.
