20 Infuriating Video Game Bosses Nobody Beat First Time
19. The Witch King Of Angmar (Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age)
While The Witch Kind of Angmar can be defeated quite easily if you know the specific tactics and tricks to take out his many defences, the biggest mistake you can make in this fight is to let it drag on for too long, because making too many poorly thought out decisions in this turn-based RPG means the difference between a swift victory and a laborious game of back and forth. Give The Witch King even a chance to exploit one of your weaknesses and he will, thoroughly, all the while buffing his own stats to command a flurry of combos against your characters before you even get the option to react. Unlike most other Lord of the Rings games, The Third Ages unique turn-based approach to combat was deep and nuanced, and ultimately valued proper planning and chess-like tactics than it did just picking the biggest combo and sticking with it. As a result if you didnt give the proper consideration and time to The Witch King, the whole affair could quickly devolve into a long and slow journey to an inevitable restart.
