8 Random Video Game Enemies Harder Than Any Boss Battle
3. Malboro - Final Fantasy X
How could you even begin thinking about a list of video game enemies that utterly handed your soul a pink slip without mentioning the ungodly morning breath stench that is the Malboro from the Final Fantasy series?
A reassuring enemy across the franchise, this multi-eyed, and massive-mouthed horror will crop up randomly during your quests and spew what I imagine the phrase "You should invest in NFTs" would look like in video game form as its "Breath Breath" attack causes a litany of terrible status effects to be applied to your party.
And trust me, trying to manage a group that has zero chance to hit, are enraged so they won't ever stop attacking, and are confused enough to attack their own party definitely makes for some of the most frustrating video game experiences going. It's like a bachelor party powered by enough Carling to drown a horse and a liberal splash of bath salts and as such means that meeting the Malboro is likely the last thing some players will see in their run.
In some titles, this absolute lump was bumped up to become a mini-boss or even full-fledged boss battle but in some titles like Final Fantasy X these could be encountered on the fly and would dump all over your chances of having a fun time with the game.
