10 Gaming Bosses That ROBBED You Of Victory
9. Edelgard - Fire Emblem: Three Houses (Golden Deer Route)
Fire Emblem: Three Houses tells a massively different story depending on the house you choose to oversee in the game's early hours.
Selecting the Golden Deer route, the fight against the mysterious Flame Emperor comes to a sudden halt when the identity of the masked foe is none other than Black Eagles leader, Edelgard. The harmony of the Knights academy within the monastery is interrupted by this realisation, as everyone must now choose a side; Edelgard's Imperial forces or the majesty of the Church of Seiros.
The player will share the battlefield with Edelgard a number of times throughout the game's 50-hour runtime, and each time she and her forces are defeated, the newly discovered enemy will retreat and save her efforts for another day. It seems that victory is never quite granted to the player, and Edelgard's insistence on not dying is thoroughly annoying.
Fire Emblem's gameplay lends itself far more to strategy than to mindless hacking at an enemy 5x the size, so relinquishing Edelgard of her life bar isn't a hard task, although making your way toward her with a full party of combatants still in tact is quite another story.
