10 Video Game Bosses Who Kill You For Being Too Good
10. General Beatrix - Final Fantasy IX
General Beatrix is a powerful member of the all-female army of the kingdom of Alexandria from Final Fantasy IX and a recurring boss that you have to fight multiple times throughout the game.
Although you have to fight her a lot, and she even joins your party temporarily, all of the boss fights with Beatrix are actually unwinnable. The general will always prove to be too strong for your party and completely destroy them with her obnoxiously high stats.
But hey! You might try to grind before fighting her and boost your characters to the point where they would be able to match Beatrix's strength. If that's the case, then surely, you should be able to defeat her, right?
Well, no. It turns out that even if you can go head-to-head with Beatrix, the warrior has a special last resort attack that she can use to instantly wipe out your entire party.
The ability cannot be avoided, and it always happens when the game notices you're getting a little too close to lowering Beatrix's health, meaning that even when you're the best Final Fantasy player, there's no beating Beatrix.
The general has something far better than plot armor—a plot superweapon!
