17 Secret Video Game Bosses You Need To Beat Before You Die

9. Soul Calibur III - Night Terror

How you get there: By choosing a specific path in Soul Calibur III's RPG-like Tales Of Souls story mode, one could access the game's hidden final boss - Night Terror. True to his name, the character looks like an amalgamation of several different characters, stealing both appearances and moves from other fighters on the roster, all culminating in the freak you see above.

Oh, and it should probably be mentioned too, that you need a flawless record of wins on your way to Night Terror. One loss, and you'll have to start over from the beginning.

Why you need to beat them: More than any other video game genre, secret bosses are a staple feature of beat 'em ups. Soul Calibur III is no different, and you'll want to beat Night Terror because he's the promise of being the big daddy - the guy that you need to work for to find let alone defeat. Only when you successfully beat 'it', can you call yourself champ.

Don't think you can rely on ring knock-outs either, the dude has wings.
