10 Video Game Joke Items That Are Secretly One-Time Boss Killers
6. Golden Eggs - Resident Evil IV Remake
The Resident Evil 4 Remake has made significant changes to the way its final boss, Ramón Salazar, operates. Instead of being a static boss, which, back in the original game, the player could easily defeat in seconds, the new and improved Salazar can jump around the entire arena and cause significant damage with his attacks.
Luckily, the mutated noble isn’t the only one who has new tricks up his sleeve.
In the remake, the player can find two golden eggs inside Salazar’s palace, which can secretly be used to kill the boss in two hits.
At first glance the eggs appear to be nothing more than pricey baubles to sell to the merchant. However, if you hold onto both of them to the end, you can throw the shiny eggs at Salazar, and each one will deal tremendous amounts of damage, defeating him.
The eggs only work on the final boss, but since they let you get rid of him without a fight, keeping them in your inventory is far better than selling for extra ammo and weapons.
