10 Tough Video Game Bosses That Can Be Instantly Defeated With One Simple Secret

8. Reviving Evrae Altana Causes Its Death Instead - Final Fantasy X

One of the toughest bosses in Final Fantasy X is Evrae Altana, an undead version of a powerful dragon boss from an earlier level.

Now, the regular Evrae is already quite the challenge for your party, but its zombified version is even stronger thanks to its additional resistances and devastating attacks.

Thankfully, along with these new enhancements comes one secret weakness that can make the fight end in an instant.

Although most players struggle to defeat Evrae Altana, it is actually quite easy to kill the boss in one hit. You see, because the dragon is classified as an undead, it gains the enemy type’s special affliction, which causes it to be harmed by healing spells instead of recovering health.

Using your party’s healer to cure Evrae will cause it to lose huge chunks of health, but this isn’t even the best part, because revive spells also have the reverse effect!

Instead of bringing it back from the dead, items like a Phoenix Down will instantly kill Evrae Altana, allowing you to completely skip the fight with just one spell.
