18 Brutal Gaming Challenges You Must Complete Before You Die

13. Defeating The Final Fantasy Superbosses

Final Fantasy is known for having ridiculously OTT boss fights, even in the main storylines. Some of the optional superbosses, though, eat those guys for breakfast and spit them back out again. Take the Ruby Weapon from FFVII, for example. This monstrosity can€™t even be damaged except by armour-ignoring weapons, inflicts a bunch of horrific status effects onto every party member, has 800 000 HP and drains the party€™s MP. Oh, and it can also permanently remove a party member from battle with its signature attack. Or how about Penance from FFX? This guy doesn€™t even appear unless you€™ve beaten the Dark Aeons first (hugely powerful optional superbosses themselves), and his arms alone boast 500 000 HP each. His actual body has 12 million HP. And of course, his ultimate attack deals the maximum possible amount of damage to both the party€™s HP and MP. These guys are on a whole other level to anything in the actual storyline €“ and you€™ll have to train hard if you want to slay them.
