7 Toughest Video Game Bosses (That Can Be Beaten In Seconds)
Tick. Tick. Boom!
Nobody enjoys losing in video games, especially to a boss that's been absolutely having your life in every sense for hours at a time. While these encounters can provide refreshing and unique experiences, if a boss battle is too tough or just so very long that death feels like you've been sent back down the evolutionary chain, it can be a right chore to muster up the strength for another round.
However, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel my friend, but it's not a source beckoning you to the great beyond, no it's less white and more....yellow and cream-colored.
That's right, it's the beacon of cheese, the calling card of boss strategies that aren't exactly the most honorable but they get the bloody job done that's for damn sure. Even supremely tough bosses from franchises renowned for their punishing gameplay can be utterly thrashed with the right preparation and exploits, and some can be beaten so quickly you'll have speedrunners around the world taking notes!
7. The Demon Of Hatred - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
If you were to look up the definition of "Cheeky Whippet" in the dictionary, there's a good chance that you'd be met with a picture of the Fromsoft logo, as this dev outfit really does like to take the piss out of their own players through their boss battles.
In fact this is piss that will be taken by force thanks to Demons' Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and especially Sekiro boss battles, as nearly every single one of them has so many cheap aces up their sleeves you'd swear they were cheating more often than not.
However, while many bosses would love nothing more than to drag their pendulous sack over your faces, it is very possible to use the mighty momentum from this swinging set of brass balls against them and finish even the toughest boss in seconds. Just ask The Demon Of Hatred, who stuck out like a sore middle finger in Sekiro thanks to it playing unlike any other boss in the title. You see, instead of blocking combos and squaring up to the boss, you were encouraged to play this more like a Dark Souls boss, constantly moving around, dipping in and out of combat, which threw a lot of players off entirely.
Still, if you don't fancy unlearning all of your newfound skills, why not show the Demon some of the Dark Souls Greatest Hits Collection and lure the brute over to the edge of the map, make him whiff an attack and then watch him plummet to his doom, ending the battle in seconds.
How do you like them rice balls mate? Tell Ceaseless Discharge we said hi.
