This game is often called "the RPG that hates you" due to its immense difficulty and cruelty. Thanks to this, every boss could have a place on this list, as only hardcore players ever dream of finishing it.

Fear & Hunger is a dungeon-crawler RPG that sees you venture into a dangerous pit of despair. You'll have your fair share of encounters with terrifying enemies who can one-shot you no problem. This includes some painful boss battles.

When picking a boss to single out though, it has to be The Yellow King.

This finale stage enemy is one of several you can encounter in the game's five regular endings. Ending C will put you in the path of this monstrous deity after one of your party members ascends to godhood.

A hardcore fight to reach for many reasons, for one, you have actually to make it to the end of the game. Second, you need to keep a specific party member alive (an almost impossible task), and thirdly, it's hard as hell.

The Yellow King has an incredible health pool and some horrible spell attacks that can do massive damage. Plus, unlike the other final bosses, you have to fight him directly after defeating another final boss. The odds are so stacked against you, it's almost too unfair.
