9 Nerve-Wracking Video Game Moments You Barely Made It Through

6. Sephiroth - Kingdom Hearts

Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts is a properly hard boss. Putting anything in Dark Souls to shame, he is easily one of the toughest fights any player will endure and is subsequently one of the most nerve-wracking to beat.

Requiring near pinpoint precision and perfection, Sephiroth is no joke. Even the tiniest slip up will put you near death if not dead meaning that you have to master his moveset and play without fault. Getting a minute into the fight can send your heart racing as you start to build up the rhythm with each mistake sending your brain into shock.

However, it gets worse the further you get into the fight. The more time you spend doing perfect runs only to inch closer to victory with each death, the more anxious you get. Managing to tough it through right to the very last moments only to get snuffed out is enough to require therapy.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
