8 MORE Video Game Bosses That Take Absolutely AGES To Beat

7. Maplestory - The Black Mage

Ok so truth be told, I've never played MapleStory, being far too scared of the extreme amount of eye-gouging visuals and numbers that smash the screen at any given moment, but I have heard a lot about this title.

And not all of it is good.

For starters, it seems that there is a huge disparage between this game's boss battles, as some can take you 2-5 minutes, others just under 10 minutes and then there are others, which even when you are max leveled and fighting with other players bursting through their armor with swollen stats, will take you upwards of three hours!

What's worse is that these time-eating twats are quite common, so narrowing down one awful experience is actually pretty hard. However, I've heard rumor that the Black Mage is by far one of the most arduous encounters ever, wielding an HP pool in the TRILLIONS and offering up attacks that can mop the floor with you if you're even slightly off the ball.

Just looking at footage of this battle makes my eyes bleed, as there's so much going on and with such vibrancy, you'd need to be laser-focused in order to even survive the opening salvo of hits.
