10 Gaming Boss Battles Ruined By RNG
2. Sigrún - God Of War
God of War may be one of the most exquisite video game experiences of the last generation, but the (mercifully optional) boss battle against the Valkyrie Queen Sigrún, who also happens to be the toughest boss in the game by far, is a real kick in the plums.
While none of the Valkyries are walks in the park, Sigrún is on a whole other level precisely because she throws out all the established rules of these engagements and so few of her attacks are much telegraphed at all.
Beyond the fact she can absorb a huge amount of damage, by far the most frustrating part of the fight is her seemingly random ability to pounce on Kratos and potentially kill him in a single hit.
And so, it's really down to the luck of the draw whether or not you're able to mount a sustained offense against her, combined with a dash of skill, and some intense strategy guide cramming, too.
Even for those who crave a mean challenge, this was just evil.
