10 Video Game Bosses You DON'T Want To Beat

Elden Ring isn't a stranger to tragedy - I mean, they break the titular ring into bits right at the start! Nobody can wear it now!

Its characters are utterly drenched in melancholy, heartbreak... or the cordial of evil. There's a magician lady whose partner cheated on her, left her, and her children all got turned into zombie space warriors or big snake things with big swords rammed down their throats. That's pretty brutal, even by my own standards... and I once lived in Dundee.

And though it's contentious that this is even a boss... given that all the other dragons in the game count as bosses (and this is their big mama/pops), I'm including Greyoll here.

The enormous beastie lays in pain, surrounded by its infant protectors, barely even able to breathe. Greyoll, in its prime, may have been too gigantic a beast (and challenge) for any player to take on successfully; players may be forgiven for assuming Greyoll is actually a huge segment of mountain at first, due to the sheer enormity of it.

Yet... it pathetically whines in pain as you slash at its ridiculously-bloated health bar. If they spot you, its children will fiercely defend it, but hide in a corner and you can hack away uninterrupted, listening to twenty or so minutes of its whimpers, seemingly accepting its fate by your hand. It has nothing to prove, but ostensibly, you do. You utter monster.

After you're done, you'll get one quadrillion experience points. But at what cost?

You feel like a big man, now?!
