10 Video Game Bosses You Can Only Defeat With One Weapon
Turns out mistletoe might be a deadly weapon.
In an age where most games contain an abundance of weapon types and powers for you to pick between using, it can almost be difficult to decide what you're going to actually use to fight. As much as we all love emotionally attaching to a single weapon and using it - regardless of how effective it is - against every single enemy you encounter, this doesn't exactly make for exciting gameplay.
Many of the best games require you to try and at least try different weaponry throughout the game, even if just for one fight. Weapon degradation systems are annoying, but without them we'd all grab the biggest, baddest sword we could get our hands on, and do jack all else but swing that for the rest of most games.
This is why fights where you can only damage the boss through one weapon are so valuable, because they make you drop your Buster blade and think outside the box.
Sure, it's weird to be fighting enemies with music, or bubbles, or their own bodies - but it also makes for a battle where you have to think about more than just where and when to hit your opponent, and that's worth its weight in gold.
10. Skull Kid - The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Given the Legend of Zelda has almost every game in the series contain a hype final battle against the forces of evil, when you finally see Skull Kid - wearing the titular Majora's Mask - at the end of the game, you presume they'll be the final boss you'll stab away to save the world.
As anyone who has played the game knows, Skull Kid is not the final boss, and is also the easiest part of the end of the game.
Because, in order to beat Skull Kid, you don't have to hit him once. Hell, you don't even have to go near the creepy little guy, for what it's worth. No, you only need to play Oath to Order - the song you worked your elf ass off to get - on the Ocarina, which immediately ends the fight by summoning the Four Giants to hold up the angry, angry moon that is currently inches away from consuming your face.
Sure, you then have to fight the disembodied mask by itself, which is infinitely, infinitely more stressful - but at the very least you don't have to feel like you killed a child. This time, anyways.
