10 Video Game Bosses You ALWAYS Game Over On

10. Omega Pirate - Metroid Prime

The Phazon Mines section of Metroid Prime is an often contentious stage in the game, even in the Remastered edition. With an easily-missed save spot before you head into the mines you can really go into the zone without proper preparation.

After going through three levels of tough enemies, including ones that can cloak and ambush you, you will finally wind up in the Elite Quarters of the third level - looking upon the gigantic phazon-enriched Omega Pirate in stasis. Cue boss battle!

Omega Pirate is just about every trope of BS you can shoehorn into a boss battle: Shoot the glowing orbs on its body to make it vulnerable, it’s immune to half your weapons, it will summon minions to protect it - oh, and it goes invisible and heals itself. Hope you brought enough missiles and bombs!

If you die at any point during the boss battle - all the way back to the start, which was likely an hour or two ago. Oh, and did I mention that this is your only chance to scan for the Omega Pirate’s log? So if you missed that before the battle, or couldn’t survive doing it mid-fight and you want to 100% the game...better reload that old save and do it all again.
