8 Video Game Boss Fights You CAN'T LOSE

Now I won't lie to you, as a kid when I first came up against the first boss of the almighty Secret Of Mana title, who took the form of a giant angry ant, I may have panicked quite hard, and tried running away only to die horribly.

I tell yah for a protagonist bristling with "you are the chosen one" potential, I sure died in a way that would have the onlooking villagers recoiling in cringe.

And yet. Up I stood once more! Was this part of the prophecy? That I, the true hero of the land could never be felled by such a brutish beast?

Well yes, but mostly no, as the real reason I was back on my feet is because this was the devs granting the player invulnerability in order to teach them the basics of combat. Yet whatever the real reason, I suddenly felt a fire ignite in my heart, a passion with the focus of a refracted beam of light from the sun itself through a magnifying glass of justice which was now going to burn this ant to cinders.

And yes I may have died....at least three more times because I was but a wee baby when this game came out, but seeing as I literally couldn't die it sure did make for a pretty one-sided fight that I'm sure the Mantis Ant was likely not too happy about.
