4. Vepar - Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night

Nothing will make you feel more like a scrub fraud than the apparent tutorial boss totally wiping the floor with you, as happened to most everyone while playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

Vepar is a gigantic, grotesque humanoid sea monster who can quickly annihilate the player with her tentacles and acid/water projectile attacks.

You'll likely need to die a few times in order to figure out her attack patterns and "tells," especially as her busy movements will try to divide your attention for most of the battle.

If you're mad enough to try and tackle Vepar on higher difficulties, well, she becomes a lot trickier. With her increased speed and ferocity, she arguably becomes one of the most frustrating bosses in the entire game.

Given that Vepar has an over-the-odds amount of health and players are still in the early going arsenal-wise, she offers some major pushback.
