10 Infuriating Boss Moments That Make You Question Life Itself

4. Cerberus (Soul Sacrifice)

One of Japan Studio's best works on the PS Vita, Soul Sacrifice is another smash hit on the system complete will all the requirements a good game needs. The bosses in game are large hulking behemoths based on various world mythologies, each with their own elemental strengths and weaknesses. In the story mode, the bosses are usually moderately difficult, until the player encounters one that will make the game painful in an instant. Cerberus in this game is similar to the beast of Greek lore, except that it has the ability to walk on two legs and has a giant spear sticking out of its chest. Cerberus is a fast creature that charges and chews its prey mercilessly, throwing lighting blasts at the player and crushing them with a large pounce. Trapped in a small area with him is not fun, as his speed and large attack range can end the encounter quickly if the player isn't properly prepared with stone attacks (stone beats electric) and can't dodge to save their life. The player must encounter Cerberus twice, and the second is more hectic than before as the monster's strength and speed increases. Add other random monsters to deal with from time to time during the fights, and battling Cerberus becomes a very time consuming and tiring ordeal. While Cerberus is the player's first real taste of the woes to come later in the game, he is definitely no pushover, making the player actually have to prepare and grind a bit for the battle. Difficulty Rating: 9 - Cerberus is the game's first legitimate challenge, a boss that requires decent thought and preparation before hand. With proper planning, Cerberus can be defeated, but not without a little crying and Vita destruction before first.
