10 Video Game Bosses Only Hardcore Players Beat

10. The Riddler - Batman: Arkham Knight

Batman has an exceptional array of villains in his catalogue, and, as such, the Arkham series has seen rise to many great boss encounters. The Riddler showdown from Arkham Knight is certainly not one of the toughest in that line-up.

However, actually getting to the showdown at all is a night-impossible task, especially without a guide.

In order to unlock this fight, you need to beat Edward Nigma at his own game, i.e. solving every single riddle, finding every single trophy, shattering every breakable object, and stopping every bomb-rioter. Just for the record, there are 243 Riddler puzzles in Gotham, and it will take you hours to beat all of them, even if you're using cheat sheets.

At the end, Riddler's fight isn't too gruelling. It's certainly no Mr. Freeze (Arkham City) or Bane (Arkham Origins). But, again, your levels of patience and dedication to get this last boss and achieve the game's "true ending" need to soar higher than Wayne Tower.

Even most hardcore fans questioned whether this fight and the "true ending" were worth it after dragging this guy to the GCPD.
