10 Hardest Video Game Levels That Required Incredible Skill

6. Final Vergil Fight (Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening)

Along with God of War, the DMC series is that quintessential action title that just gets the feeling of 'one man versus the world' completely spot on. Utilising a combination of dodges, high-jumps, a snarky character and some of the sickest weapons known to gaming-man (an electrified sword, anyone?) if you could keep up with the series' frenetic pace, it was all hugely enjoyable. Part two would somewhat lose all of these fun-sounding elements in one of the most disappointing titles ever, which is why Capcom doubled down on everything that mattered with part three. Bringing back a younger, spunkier Dante it also gave us the brilliant sibling rivalry between him and brother Vergil, the explosive confrontations between which remain that game's high points. Say you got used to the combat, say you thought even after finishing Very Hard mode you'd totally mastered the game. Well, 'Dante Must Die' mode in part three aimed to take that idea and slice it in two, giving Vergil access to the same 'Devil Trigger' special moves you did. What followed was the perfect realisation of a Dragonball Z-esque showdown, with both you and the AI trading blows at a speed any who were watching would never keep up with - meaning that when the action eventually slowed for that final cutscene, only then were you allowed to say you've truly beaten Dante's finest hour.
