7 Ridiculously Hard Boss Battles Hiding In Easy Video Games
6. Dark Side Broodals - Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey is a joy from start to finish, easy enough to allow children to easily see each of its beautiful levels, and difficult enough to 100% complete to keep adults grinding away for hours. The game has 999 moons in total to collect, with a generous amount of them being very simple to acquire.
Even the ‘final’ boss, Bowser, poses little challenge.
However, after completing the story, if you have collected enough moons, you’ll be able to travel to the Dark Side of the Moon, and it is there that Odyssey’s secretly difficult final boss resides.
You will have fought each of the broodals separately during your playthrough, but now prepare to fight them all, one after another, in a boss rush - with no access to any healing (outside of splashing out real money on an amiibo).
It’s an agonisingly long fight, with no checkpoints, and it takes just three little mistakes to get sent right back to the beginning again, ten coins down.
