10 Video Game Bosses That Are Almost IMPOSSIBLE To Beat

5. C'thun - World Of Warcraft 

Dark Souls 2
Blizzard

When World of Warcraft players first encountered C'thun, they were blown away by the Old God's outrageous difficulty. No matter how intricate and strategic the groups were in their aids, they couldn't fell the Lovecraftian creature

Over time, it became clear C'thun wasn't just difficult, he was, without a shred of exaggeration, genuinely undefeatable. Even though the phrase "impossible boss" is thrown around all too often, this bulbous monstrosity fit the bill to a tee. Simply put, there isn't enough time for any raid to destroy C'thun's tentacles before the Cthulhu-inspired beast wipes them out. And since mana is incredibly limited, players have no effective means to regenerate lost health.

Also, there was a glitch so C'thun could hit players with his tentacles after he devoured them, causing them to suffer far more damage than they should've.

After Blizzard received complains for months over the issue, they patched WOW up so C'thun's defeat was more feasible. Mere hours after this patch went through, a guild destroyed the infernal boss for first time, allowing the WOW community to breathe a collective sigh of relief.
