20 Infuriating Video Game Bosses Nobody Beat First Time
10. Lou The Devil (Guitar Hero III: Legends Of Rock)
Unconventional as far as boss fights go, Lou the Devil from Guitar Hero 3 requires a completely different set of skills than players are used to when it comes to overcoming the hardest challenges in video games. On the higher difficulties it becomes even more ridiculous to even consider that anyone could have the fast fingers required to defeat this boss. In fact, if there wasnt video evidence out there, theres probably no way even the most experienced Guitar Hero players would believe that any gamer could have the muscle memory and agility to keep up with Lou the Devil on expert difficulty. Although there had been difficult songs in Guitar Hero games before (perhaps most famously Through the Fire and Flames, which also featured in this third game), the battle with Lou proved to be an entirely different beast, as it was never a case of only trying to see the song out to the end, but actively trying to outscore the The Devil who was also smashing it along with you.
