10 Video Game Bosses You Can Beat In Seconds

9. The Alligator - Resident Evil 2

There are few Resident Evil bosses more memorable than the giant freaking alligator which terrorises you in the sewers beneath Raccoon City.

To beat the boss the old-fashioned way, you'll need to unload a healthy amount of your ammo into the oversized beast, unless you opt for the awesome shortcut.

While running back down the sewer corridor, you'll come across a blinking red light just begging you to interact with it. Doing so will release a giant gas canister which the alligator will then sink its teeth into.

As it approaches, just fire some rounds at the gator's face, and it'll be instantly transformed into a bloody rain of barbecued meat.

If you know what you're doing, you can use this method to defeat the alligator in 20 or 30 seconds, rather than wasting several minutes and a ton of ammo on it.

In the recent remake, however, the alligator encounter is far less of a typical fight, given that you only need to run and dodge its attacks and it'll grab the canister all by itself.
