10 Video Game Bosses You Can Beat By Doing NOTHING

10. The Dragonrider - Dark Souls II

Dark Souls II may be many folks' least-favourite SoulsBorne game, but it does offer up one of the series' most hilarious solutions for dispatching a fierce boss.

Rather than battle the Dragonrider the good ol' fashioned, inevitably frustrating way, there's a cheese strategy for rinsing him in mere seconds while expending about a calorie of effort.

First off, make sure you don't activate any switches which make the arena larger, because keeping things confined and maintaining access to the water below are absolutely vital.

At the start of the fight, simply stand still while the Dragonrider takes six steps. 

Immediately after this, run to his right - this will trigger him executing his thrust attack, which will cause him to plunge into the drink below, instantly killing him in gut-busting fashion.

The effort-to-payoff ratio here is staggering considering the franchise we're dealing with, even if learning to beat bosses the hard way is probably the smart approach if you actually want to finish the game.
