10 Shockingly Easy Final Bosses In Iconic Video Games

9. Eredin - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3 is no cakewalk. Particularly in the early stages of the game, there are plenty of encounters during which you'll have to swallow your pride in and run away, making the Continent feel like a hostile and dangerous place. The bosses too are reasonably challenging encounters, requiring you to sit down beforehand and concoct some potions before you leap into the fray.

The final fight in Witcher 3 sees you take on Eredin, the King of the Wild Hunt. This guy's title is basically in the name of the game, so you'd expect him to put up one hell of a fight to justify his prestigious status. The fight looks spectacular, taking place across several different areas with fires, storms, and intense operatic music heightening the sense of everything converging to one momentous showdown for the ages. The fight itself, however, just doesn't cut it. Sure, he takes a while to go down and has a neat teleporting trick that may throw you off at first, but it's always a bit of an embarrassment when the preceding boss presents a tougher challenge. Eredin can be beaten using a pretty simple pattern, and while he's not a total cakewalk, it's fair to say the encounter stands out as being particularly unchallenging.

Dark Souls proves that unpredictable difficulty tangents in a game can make boss fights more intriguing, but The Witcher 3 seems to get easier as you level up. By the end of the game, it feels like you've far outraced the game's difficulty, leaving poor Eredin pretty helpless by comparison.
