10 Most Unique Ways You Killed Video Game Bosses

9. Hide Behind A Rock, Let Master Gee Kill Himself - Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2's DLC may feature a boss who literally trips down the stairs and fatally breaks his neck before you even get to fight him, but in the legit boss stakes, the "Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty" DLC gives players the opportunity to bend one boss encounter in their own favour.

Frustrated players who are struggling to defeat the fiendishly difficult raid boss Master Gee The Invincible can take advantage of an exploit by just...hiding behind a rock.

To be clear, you first need to get Gee to fully absorb at least one acid pool, after which all you need to do is crouch behind a large rock near the entrance to the arena.

Because Gee cannot reach the player here but will continue to receive acid status damage for the rest of the fight, he will eventually acid himself to death without the player actually having to do anything.

But be warned, Gee will take about 40-or-so minutes to croak this way, so you're better off setting the fight up and going for a walk or cooking dinner or something...
