10 Insanely Difficult Video Game Bosses That Weren't Worth The Pain

5. Night Terror – Soul Calibur III

Dark Souls 3 Nameless king
Namco

Just getting to Night Terror, the secret ultimate form of antagonist Nightmare, can be a challenge in itself – and one few players found without following guides. To unlock the boss, you have to complete the Tales of Souls story following specific choices for each player.

Not so difficult when you have the guide, though winning every single round could prove too great a challenge for many.

Unfortunately, that's not even the hard part. Once you finally get to Night Terror, it turns out he more than lives up to his name – haunting your dreams for years to come with the hundreds of times he decimates us.

Don't let his huge size fool you! He's quick, powerful, and uses lasers for long-range attacks. He also flies, which not only allows him to jump out of your reach just when you're stringing together a particularly effective attack, but try to force him out of the ring like most other enemies, and he simply flies back in.
