10 Video Game Boss Fights That Killed The Hype

10. The Godskin Duo - Elden Ring

The debate rages on about which Elden Ring boss is precisely the hardest, though there's a pretty strong consensus that the most infuriatingly cheap of the lot is the damn, dirty Godskin Duo.

Dual boss fights are always a divisive proposition where SoulsBorne games are concerned, and Elden Ring offers up a textbook example of why.

The battle sees you taking on two prior bosses, Godskin Apostle and Godskin Noble, simultaneously inside of a relatively small arena, and will push the player's crowd control skills to their absolute limit.

The two bosses share a health bar, and taking them both on at the same time is incredibly difficult, effectively forcing the player to incapacitate one and then fight the other solo during the brief window of time before the fallen boss is resurrected.

Despite the clear thought that FromSoftware put into most of their boss fights, in this case they basically just combined two already decently difficult bosses into a single agonisingly challenging encounter without much consideration at all.

It's tough as hell, but not in a clever or creative way. It's a genuinely cheap boss fight where only the most die-hard players would ever dare tell you to "git gud" for suggesting it was poorly designed.
