"Oh, cool, a Titanite slab :D" "Why is Father Ariendel speaking...?"

Or it's chiral bells and suddenly you're experiencing Yoko Taro's newest mindfuck addition to Drakengard/Nier (as a FFXIV fan the Nier raid final boss was awesome, JS)

autocorrect didn't help me out this time. ty

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't necessarily hate dual bars. What I do hate is burning all my ultimates or potions or whatever to take that last chunk of health off to secure the kill. Realizing I now have to kill the boss again yet without those extras, is what kills me.

We've seen 3 phase boss battles. Maybe even 4.

Where's the game with a 10-stage boss battle? I wanna yell "WHY WONT YOU JUST DIE?!" after he gets up for the 6th time in a row.

[–] buggybug@sh.itjust.works 2 points 20 hours ago

maybe the 10 phase boss battle was us, the players all along. you die to a boss and you show up at their doorstep once more, while they are thinking “HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON”

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 1 points 20 hours ago

What's worse is you beat the absolute shit out of them and they usually get set on fire and stabbed several times . Just fine, apparently.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago

Nanomachines, son.

I know I've played a JPRG where the final boss had six stages, but it also was annoying, not epic because I was overleveled and the game wasn't hard in the first place

[–] teft@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

World of Warcraft had some fights that had way too many phases. Illidan had 5 if i remember right.

If he/she is a boss, where are their employees? Not a boss, no employees.

I’ll do you one better, a guitar solo comes on.

Hades’ third phase is a banger.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 14 hours ago

Came here to say this, their implementation for his extreme measures modifier is ideal. Every other boss has all sorts of cool new moves, but the final boss is doing absolutely nothing new through the first two phases, then takes a knee like always. You might start to wonder if it's malfunctioning for a moment, then that guitar tells you loud and clear that you're about to get fucked hard.

If you hear Shakira, you're also in trouble.

When the boss battle starts, but the villain is singing.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

singing liberi fatalis, or fighting fate.

I reject your reality and substitute my own: when you’re a demon and you hear “KARR EN TUK” coming from over the hill

And then your life flashes before your eyes as they do a massive attack that either instakills you or deals 99% damage.

Oh the hate for the two health bars.

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Spider-Man 2 has a cool thing where every single boss has at least 3 health bars technically. You beat it the first time and then a cutscene, then you beat it a second time and you get a cutscene, and then you beat it for a third time and you again get a cutscene.

The final boss is especially annoying, where it does that same thing but just 10 times (no joke).

The fights play out pretty similar too, which doesn't help.

But I still loved the game!

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Spider-Man is one of the few games that I loved the long drawn out battles in, they made the combat in those games so much fun, and it made it feel like a proper comic book superhero fight.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh boy would you enjoy the final boss of Sekiro, 4 health bars

[–] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The first one doesn't count. It's really just a formality.
