9 RPG Boss Attacks That Were Utter BS

6. Absolute Virtue’s Benediction - Final Fantasy XI

The second but still not final entry from Final Fantasy on this list goes to the infamous Absolute Virtue.

Said infamy is derived from the fact that the big bad remains the longest running notorious monster undefeated through legitimate means. While Absolute Virtue has plenty of attacks that make him a huge pain to take on, we're giving the top spot to an attack that's actually a defensive move.

I know, I broke my own rule but as the writer of this list I'm going to allow it. Quite apart from the fact that this is far and away the most annoying thing Absolute Virtue does.

The major problem with Benediction is that it is a superb healing ability that Absolute Virtue not only has access to, but can use multiple times. In some instances players were set back tens of hours in this fight because Absolute Virtue decided to heal itself back up again at the tail end of the encounter. If that’s not BS then I don’t know what is because watching this bastard’s 100,000 HP bar tick back up after dozens of hours of combat is a pain like no other.
