8 Hilarious Secret Ways You Can Defeat Video Game Bosses

6. Pay Someone Else To Do The Dirty Work - Final Fantasy X

If you’re a fan of Final Fantasy games, then there’s a good chance that you’re very accustomed to the concept of level grinding. In nearly every game in the series you’ll come across a route blocked by an especially tough boss or something that requires an amount of rare drop items to get something special, and so you’ll be chugging potions and ethers to keep your party fighting fit.

Yet sometimes, much like real life, all of your problems can be solved by simply paying someone more qualified to do the dirty work for you; after all, who's going to want to get that lovely anime hair all dirty and knocked out of shape when you could just throw a few bags of Gil at our boy Yojimbo over here and have him unleash the beast?

That’s right: if you managed to befriend this lovely Aeon in Final Fantasy X, you gain access to the most powerful move in the game - but it comes at a price. If you’ve got deep pockets and shallow respect for the concept of a fair fight, you can invest a metric shedload of coin into the wandering sellsword and have him perform the Zanmato move on anyone looking you the wrong way. Players figured out that they could even pay him 66K Gil to have him knock out the troublesome Dark Aeons, and trust me that is a very good investment. Funny as well.
