10 Saddest Boss Fights In Gaming

10. Bloodwing (Borderlands 2)

Mindlessly exterminating aliens and bad guys is fine to most, especially in the Borderlands games. However, a boss fight mid-way into the second installment puts you against Mordecai’s companion, Bloodwing.

Handsome Jack experiments on her and infuses her with several elements making her giant and hostile to the player. This is made even harder if you played Mordecai in the first game, as you have to put down one of your closest allies.

This plays out with Bloodwing attacking you with different elements as Jack taunts you in the background as he's known to do. All the while, the player characters and Mordecai trying to weaken her enough to try and tranquilize her.

You eventually do, but just as she seems to be coming to her senses, Jack detonates an explosive collar he had on her, killing her. Despite being close to fixing Bloodwing, Mordecai is forced to watch his close friend die.

Another reason for you to hate Handsome Jack is when he makes you fight an ally, only to kill her himself. Dick move Jack, but then again everything you do is a dick move.
