10 Video Game Bosses You Can Beat In Seconds

2. The End - Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Metal Gear Solid 3's The End is one of the greatest bosses in video game history - an ancient sniper who can tie the player up in knots in an epic, hours-long boss battle if they're not careful.

There are numerous ways to kill The End, such as using Thermal Goggles to track his footsteps and sneak up on him, or most hilariously, wind your system clock forward a week and return to find him dead of old age.

But the snappiest way to deal with The End is even craftier. Early in the game, you'll get to Ponizovje Warehouse and sit through a cutscene where The End can briefly be glimpsed asleep in a wheelchair.

Once the cutscene ends, you've got a few seconds to whip out your SVD and blast him in the skull before he's wheeled away.

Be careful, though, because a successful kill will detonate the wheelchair, catapulting one of its wheels directly in your face unless you swiftly haul ass.

In mere seconds, you can forego a boss fight which stumped many players for hours - brilliant though it is - and when you pass through the forest for the boss fight later on, you'll instead face off against the comparatively trivial Ocelot Unit.
