For me, it was in Last of Us, >!when you walk through the door and get caught in the rope trap, then have to shoot the zombies upside-down.!<
I had to go through that entire animation over and over and over. It made me hate the game. I played a little bit more after finally making it through, but my heart wasn’t in it and I just stopped after a while.
Lies of P - nameless puppet. I choose the other ending on my first run, so my first time facing him was in ng+. Not sure if that made it harder, but yeah, that one was rough
As a kid I beat the vampires in Illusion of Gaia as Will. Didn’t realize you could change.
Wow, I gave up trying to beat it a few months ago because it was too hard to get past them. I was playing as Will
The snake boss in Nioh 2. My friend kept coming back that day to say, “You haven’t killed it yet?!”
Growing up I struggled for so long on LittleBigPlanet’s Negativitron boss fight, most recently though I spent days struggling with Uncharted 4’s final boss fight (though somehow I had an easier time on Crushing difficulty on my second play through) and Halo 2’s Prophet Boss Fight.
Vermivorous the Invincible in Borderlands 2. First of all getting it to spawn…
I was going to say Badassaurus Rex at the end of the Torgue DLC. Big pain in the ass since I only played solo.
Mushihimesama Futari’s final boss. I felt so proud of myself when I beat it and this is the game that got me into playing Touhou on lunatic mode for fun
Gow Ragnarok. That last Valkyrie.
Final boss of fury
Artorias… hardest one SO FAR
In DS1? Great boss! Worthy title
This asshole made me scream in rage and frustration
Lavos. :(
The striders towards the end of Half Life 2 episode 2.
That stupid course in Star Wars Racer where you have to stay on a very narrow ledge. When you fall off you’re relegated to a super long detour and basically have to start over because you have no chance of winning if you fail even once.
Oh yeah I remember that one. Wouldn’t have been an issue if not for the bad steering of pods.
So this is dumb but there is a Mummy game, as on the movie, I think on PS2. You could play through as either O’Connell (Brendan Fraser) or Imhotep (he was fun but pretty overpowered). I don’t remember there being a difficulty setting but I could be wrong.
I beat it with Imhotep but never could beat it with O’Connell. I want to say the final boss was the Scorpion King. I tried so many times.
The only thing I can figure is I didn’t load up on as much ammo, grenades, equipment, etc. as possible and never went back to try differently.
Could you die as Imhotep? I’m getting Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy vibes from how you explain this.
Maybe? I don’t remember if it’s specifically “death” or just some kind of excuse for a game over.
And sorry, I had to look it up, it’s actually The Mummy Returns for PS2.
Here’s a full playthrough of both.
