10 Shockingly Simple Ways To Defeat Gaming's Toughest Bosses

5. Lavos€™ Third Form (Chrono Trigger)

The main antagonist and final boss of a game which is rightfully considered to be one of the finest Japanese RPGs ever created, Lavos is an alien parasite which descended upon Earth in the year 65,000,000 B.C. The malevolent being€™s intention is to drain the planet of its energy to enable it to produce genetically superior offspring €“ this means that Lavos has aided in the development of life and technology on the planet in the hope of creating even more energy to harvest. His name is derived from the Lokan words for fire (€˜La€™) and big (€˜Vos€™). Easy Route To Victory€ The final battle of the epic Chrono Trigger experience is a suitably difficult test. After dispatching the outer shell and humanoid forms, the third and final form is Lavos€™ Core. The secret to making victory over the ancient alien lifeform a decidedly easier task is where you focus your offence. Rather than directing your firepower at the centre piece, the boss battle becomes infinitely easier if you target Lavos€™ less obvious side parts. This is because Lavos€™ flanks are capable of reviving the centre, rendering all your hard work useless. Defeating all three parts of Lavos is a long, arduous battle but it becomes immensely more possible when you adhere to this tactic.
