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

So if you're mad enough to take the time to harvest 10,000,000 halos – that's right, 10 million – and buy the platinum ticket in Bayonetta for ally and weapon seller, Father Rodin, he rewards you by revealing his true, winged form, and then summarily trying to utterly obliterate you.

Father Rodin goes one better than many of the other optional bosses on this list by not only having high HP and exceptional defense, but he also is invulnerable to being stunned, witch time does nothing, and, if you do manage to find a dent in his armour and start to damage him, he gets a power boost as the fight goes on.

Worse than all this is that he has his own version of Bayonetta's Wicked Weave attack, capable of reducing you down to almost 0 HP.

“That's fine,” you say, reaching for your health items, only to feel that cold sweat of panic when you can't actually use them. Sorry, no recovery items allowed in this battle!
