10 Tough Video Game Bosses That Can Be Instantly Defeated With One Simple Secret
1. You Don't Have To Fight The Incubus If You Have No Ammo - Silent Hill 1
Silent Hill is quite a stressful game, what with all the monsters and eerie atmosphere about. It doesn’t really help that it can also be quite unforgiving.
That is, until you reach the final boss.
The Incubus is a large winged demon that appears as the final boss in the two good endings of the game. Due to his mechanics making him constantly fly around the battlefield attacking you with lightning strikes and other ranged abilities, the only way to defeat him is to shoot him. It can take a lot of bullets and patience to get this demon to die, but if you don’t have any bullets left, the fight is much, much easier, because the Incubus is secretly programmed to instantly die.
Yes, since Konami didn’t want the player to end up in an un-winnable scenario, if you get rid of all of your ammunition before taking on the Incubus, the game will instantly kill the boss for you, sparing the pain of having to beat him legitimately.
It’s rare to see the developers have this much foresight. Even rarer to see them display so much compassion!
