10 Hardest Video Game Boss Fights You Started By Accident
3. Revenant - Dragon Age: Origins
In the spirit of its dark fantasy theme, Dragon Age: Origins likes to challenge its players with truly tough and soul-crushing fights.
Enemies can ambush you, overwhelm you, and strike when you're least prepared, but if this isn't enough, there is also a way for you to accidentally bring this kind of misery onto yourself.
In the city of Denerim, whenever your character travels between locations they have a chance to trigger an event along the way. These events typically consist of fights with the city's cutthroats, but in one of them, after you survive the bandit ambush, there is also a tiny little secret with a not-so-small price for tampering with it.
In the back of the ambush spot, you can find a glass phylactery that spawns one of the six hidden Revenant bosses in the game when you interact with it.
Without knowing of their existence, it's easy to see the vial, get curious about it, and then weep as your already exhausted team (remember that ambush beforehand) gets to fight one of the hardest bosses in the game, complete with trapping spells and life-draining powers.
Well, that should teach you not to touch any suspicious glass containers in the back of dark alleyways.
