8 Hardest Video Game Boss Battles Of 2017 (So Far)

2. Hino-Enma - Nioh

Is it good or bad boss design when you have to fundamentally unlearn all you held dear?

Going up against Hino-Enma posits that question, as her relatively low moveset seems easily surmountable, yet wade in and she'll have your expectations for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

In a truly despicable move, Team Ninja also gave Enma a stun-lock beam that covers a wider birth, the further away you are. Get caught and that's you routed to the spot for a good eight seconds, letting her close the distance or provide what is nearly always an instant-kill grab.

The best way to win is resorting to cheap tactics yourself, stab n' running around the battlefield, keeping plenty of Elixirs handy in case you get caught off guard.
