10 Infuriating Video Game Bosses That CHEAT To Win

In Okami, you play as the Shinto sun god, Amaterasu, who has been reborn as a white wolf. Although you have a myriad of attacks, your most important tool is the Celestial Brush. By moving your controller in a specific pattern, you can use the brush to paint pathways, turn night to day, solve puzzles, and vanquish enemies.

When you summon the Celestial Brush, the gameplay will pause until you deselect it or run out of time, which makes it convenient to use in battle. Not only can this enchanted besom unleash a smorgasbord of creative attacks, it gives the player more time to strategise, since it momentarily freezes enemies on the spot.

However, that isn't the case while facing Ninetails. If you try to summon your paintbrush, this carnivorous kitsune will summon his own, using it to either attack you or screw up your paintings. For this reason, you have to paint very quickly or avoid using the brush entirely. But because your magical ink performs the most powerful assaults, you'll have to endure an overly long battle if you don't utilise it.
