10 Video Game Bosses You Didn't Realise Can Be Beaten In SECONDS

8. Ceaseless Discharge - Dark Souls

Let's be real - You have to be a glutton for punishment if you're a Dark Souls fan. Because every FromSoftware title is renowned for its difficulty, players have to accept the fact their playthrough will involve dying endlessly.

But even the most avid gamers can't stand facing Ceaseless Discharge, who appeared in the original Dark Souls. Because of the erratic camera and the inconsistent hitbox detection, this molten giant is a nightmare, even by Soulsborne's standards. (Also, what kind of name is "Ceaseless Discharge?")

If you're tired of losing against CD, cheating is an option. If you pillage his sister's corpse, the magma-belching behemoth will tear off his arm and start attacking you. Instead of retaliating, dash back to the entrance and wait for him to catch up.

In his one-armed state, Ceaseless Discharge won't be able to reach you if you hug the area surrounding the fog door. Out of desperation, he'll try to jump over the pit, causing him to flop gracelessly into the fire below, ending the battle.

Even though there's no logical reason why lava would kill a lava monster, most players don't care, since they just skipped one of the most annoying enemies in the game.
