7 Toughest Video Game Bosses (That Can Be Beaten In Seconds)

6. Mom - The Binding Of Isaac

Demon Of Hatred Thumb
Edmund McMillen, Florian Himsl

The Binding Of Isaac series is a wonderful slice of gaming bastardry, as not only can it provide joy by the metric shedloads thanks to its piano wire tight gameplay, but it can also absolutely garrotte the life out of players in a single motion thanks to its noxious cocktail of brutal bosses and RNG loot drops.

You can go on a monstrous run kitted out with the best equipment, only to fall, restart and then struggle for hours getting through the opening sections with gear that just seem to be insulting on every conceivable level, however, no matter how long it takes you, it can only end one way, and that's with a confrontation with Mom.

Now normally this boss battle can, and will, absolutely ruin you, thanks to the near endlessly spawning enemies, grabbing hands, rocky arena and of course, a leg drop that would make even the leathery Hulk Hogan go "woah brother". However in a moment so tongue in cheek that it burrows through to the other side of your face, the game allows for a near insta-kill against this boss using nothing but the power of JEEEEESUS.

More specifically, Isaac can use the Bible special item in this battle once it has been sufficiently powered up for a one-hit kill against mom! It's rather ironic to use her own faith against her as a weapon, but lest we not forget it's this religious zealotry that has gotten you into this mess in the first place!
