10 Video Game Bosses Who Need To Hide Their Weaknesses Better

Now, the House of the Dead series does players a considerable favour by actually showing off each boss' weakness in the pre-fight cutscene, but even so, The House of the Dead 2's second boss leaves himself hilariously vulnerable from the jump.

The Hierophant is a giant, trident-totting amphibian beast which the player needs to defeat by attacking the most common and obvious of weak points: its heart.
