5. Twin Wardens - Persona 5

A One in A Billion Chance of Winning. Those are the odds that are face you should you wish to take on the Twin Wardens in Persona 5. If that's not reason enough to walk away with whatever tatters of pride you have left, then I don't know what is. But let's just say that you want to fight these twin prison guards (after all, they do promise to share one of their deepest secrets with you should you win). You'll need to make sure you and your party are ready for a slog.

The fight consists of the twins hurling Persona attacks at you that can down a character in a single round if you're unlucky, and you'll need to constantly be managing your SP levels and switching out party members on the fly if you're to stand a hope of survival. The combined HP of the twins is ludicrously high as well, meaning that even if you do best the pair, it's going to take around 30-40 minutes without any mistakes. That's some Dark Souls level precision right there.

And what do you get for the victory? Well, aside from a moment where they confess their love for you, which is creepy in the extreme, you also get a bookmark which serves no other purpose than some extra dialogue further down the line. Considering the pain you have to go through to get either, I'd say you and your Persona might need to have a word with each other.
