10 Shockingly Simple Ways To Defeat Gaming's Toughest Bosses

6. Deathstroke (Batman: Arkham Origins)

The Batman Arkham series is a franchise which rewards ingenuity and offensive combos. Though it is the weakest offering in the series, Batman: Arkham Origins doesn€™t deviate far from this formula €“ it just lacks some of the memorable set-piece moments which made Rocksteady€™s titles so superb. Deathstroke is the eighth assassin sent to take out the caped crusader and €“ as the greatest contract killer in the entire DC cannon €“ is suitably powerful. This clash with Deathstroke is easily the most difficult in the game and contains some of the cinematic brilliance which defined Arkham Origins€™ predecessors. Though the battle is frustratingly difficult, this doesn€™t undo its being the most enduring moment of the slightly disappointing title. Easy Route To Victory€ The series may generally reward a high-volume offence from the Bat but in this clash it is far more prudent to rely on the counter-prompts. No matter how tempting it may be or how much you believe you see an opening, try to resist straying too far from the counters otherwise the master assassin will quickly pick you apart. The odd strike here and there is acceptable but if you commit to entire combos you will miss the counter-prompts and consequently be made to suffer. If you stick to the slightly cowardly tactic of countering, Deathstroke becomes very beatable.
