10 Hardest First Bosses In Video Games

Don't let his daft name fool you - Derrick the Executioner may be a relatively easy boss by Nioh's otherwise hellacious standards, but by any conventional metric he can still be a major pain in the ass for your novice or even averagely-skilled player.

Derrick more or less acts as a test of everything you've been taught throughout the game's tutorial-esque prologue up to this point.

Though his slow, lumbering movement and generously telegraphed tells are certainly helpful, your limited arsenal means you can still struggle a lot here.

The fight is totally effective in teaching players through failure to not get greedy with their attacks, to favour chipping away while dodging where necessary, but learning that lesson absolutely results in sure frustration for many new to this type of game.
