10 Hard Video Game Bosses With Weaknesses You Utilised

8. Metal Man - Mega Man 2

Metal Gear Solid V

Mega Man 2 is one of the finest 2D platformers of all time. Its pinpoint gameplay and often crushing difficulty are reasons why, as well as its simply unforgettable music and iconic robot masters that serve as bosses throughout.

Of the eight enemies at the end of their respective level, there are a handful that offer a real challenge. Metal Man is one of them, but when players fight him once again in Wiley's Castle, the encounter can be significantly shortened.

In all six of the NES classic Mega Man games, when a boss is slain Mega Man receives their weapon. From Cut Man's Rolling Cutters to the Pharaoh Shot granted when beating Pharaoh Man, they all serve to make traversing through later levels easier. Enemies have specific weaknesses, and Metal Man's is the simplest of all.

In Wiley's Castle, Metal Man will once again rear his ugly head, but just two hits with the Metal Blades will see him fall.

Fighting him with the Mega Buster is incredibly fun, and can get hairy, but using his own weapon against him will make the second encounter a far easier affair.
