20 Infuriating Video Game Bosses Nobody Beat First Time
11. Vergil (Devil May Cry 3)
When Devil May Cry 3 released it was considered the make or break entry for the franchise. After an outstanding original game and one of the most disappointing follow ups ever made, DMC 3 set out with a mission to prove that the series could be every bit as challenging, tactical and imaginative as the first game had promised. As a result, this third entry into the franchise provided one of the most difficult challenges the series has ever seen. The titles final boss, the older evil brother to playable character Dante, proves to be such a task because in a one-on-one test of strength, the demonic swordmaster will beat you every single time. In duelling against Vergil it always became a case of learning to avoid his flurry of attacks and trying to keep away from the boss while always looking for a way to stun him so you could hopefully start chipping away at his health. However more than just a challenging final encounter, the difficulty and skill required in defeating Vergil set a precedent that the franchise has never quite been able to match since.
