10 Insanely Difficult Video Game Bosses That Weren't Worth The Pain
8. Yiazmat – Final Fantasy XII
In terms of sheer amount of HP, Adamantoise from FF XV nearly made
the list, and it would have too had the rumours of a 72-hour boss
battle proven to be true. In reality, with some strong weapons, aid
from your companions and about 20 minutes, you can bring the
mountain down with little trouble – especially as his attacks don't
really hit that hard.
So instead, the title of most annoying side boss in a Final Fantasy series reverts to the dragon Yiazmat from FF XII, with his absurdly high 50,000,000 HP!
Even with your damage at 9,999 per hit, you're still looking at a couple of hours minimum to take the damn thing down – and unlike FF XV's Adamantoise, Yiazmat hits harder and fights you in an arena surrounded by crippling traps.
The only saving grace in this battle is that you can leave at any point to save and recover, and return with Yiazmat's health as it was when you left. Just don't forget to dispel any healing spells he has cast on himself before you go, or you'll have a nasty full-HP-bar surprise when you return.
