10 MORE Hardest Video Game Bosses That Required Incredible Skill

There are numerous mountain dwarfing monsters that could have made it onto this list, and nearly every single one of them requires skills other than just smashing and praying that you'll take it down. Some monsters can one shot a character, others have moves that cover the entire area, and there are some that are just so hard to hit in the first place that you'll be tearing your hair out when the timer expires.

And yet, one beast soars above many for it's sheer difficulty, unpredictability, and quite frankly because of how goddamn cool it is, and that's Alatreon from Monster Hunter 3.

The latest iteration of the beast is a challenge as well, but many see it as the nerfed edition of the boss, with Tri's version hitting like a truck and being extremely mobile. You'll need to have resistances in nearly every area as Alatreon will out put damage in multiple forms, and you'll definitely need to be carrying cool drinks to counter his lava stage and enough potions to make an alchemist jelous.

Even with all the right equipment, you'll need to read the beast perfectly to avoid the lightning blasts and the fire and ice attacks. In short there's a reason that this is the final mission of the game and gives out the best materials.
