7 More Video Game Bosses That Forced You To Cheat

7. The Mimic Tear - Elden Ring

Now while I would love to freely address the elephant in the FromSoft-shaped room - that pretty much every boss made by the developer is enough to make you reach for that cheese platter and fromage them all the way back to hell - there are a few bosses that require a bit of manipulation in order to get through.

For you see, dear Tarnished, the Mimic Tear is exactly that, a mimic that will copy your exact loadout, spells and all, and then use them against you with surprising aggression.

Now if you've entered the fight with a tonne of tanky armor and swords that melt bosses, you're going to be on the rather spicy end this time around, but if you're a smart little cheater and start the fight absolutely naked you'll experience something entirely different.

Spawning in with only a loincloth as protection, the Mimic Tear can easily be bested by quickly re-equipping your gear and slamming it into the ground. It's hilarious and will mean the battle moves from tears of frustration to the act of wiping away tears of laughter.

Bless. At least it tried, right?
