10 Video Game Bosses That Can Be Killed In A Single Hit

9. The End (MGS3)

The End MGS3

The Metal Gear Solid series has always been renowned for its unique boss fights, and the battle with The End in MGS3 is one of the most memorable. The End is a highly skilled sniper, said to be over 100 years old. He spends most of his time sleeping to preserve the last bit of life he has left.

Well, you can ensure he never wakes up and avoid the entire boss fight by killing him in one shot quite early in the game. When you arrive at the Ponizovje Warehouse, a cut-scene will play in which we see The End in his wheelchair. When the scene ends, Snake has a few seconds to zoom in with a sniper rifle and shoot the old man right there and then. If you pull it off, The End's wheelchair blows up, ending the boss battle hours before it was scheduled to begin.

The developers also included another fun way to kill The End without even firing a single shot. If you let the boss fight with him begin as normal and then turn off your console and wait a week (or fast-forward the system clock) before loading back up, he'll die of old age!
