For Dark Souls I would have definitely gone with Priscilla. Finding your way back to the Undead Asylum, finding the doll, and linking it with the painting in Anor Londo…definitely obscure and one of the coolest areas in the game.
For Dark Souls as a series, I would say Darkeater Midir. You have to go to the DLC area, go up a missable elevator shortcut, go into a missable secret entry on the way up the elevator, and then go through a missable illusory wall. A lot of people go to Undead Asylum before Blighttown because it has a ring that lets you run in the swamp.
@@king_of_frauds I assume most people don’t figure out how to go back to the undead asylum without looking it up on their first playthrough. I think this is the biggest hurdle. If you get past that part, then yes, the rusted iron ring, the doll, everything there is much more solvable. There is probably stuff in DS3 I would’ve missed if I hadn’t played DS1 already and understood the degree to which Miyazaki will hide side content.
@@LuckbeaSladey Someone told me there was a way to get back to Undead Asylum. I figured it out from there, though it was tricky figuring out I had to jump off the elevator then climb the stairs to the crows nest.
@@king_of_frauds I would have been impressed with myself if I had figured that out with just a hint. I completely missed it and didn’t find it until I had a roadmap.
@@LuckbeaSladey I was pretty impressed with myself too. I procrastinated a bit though since I was told about it right after the prologue and only decided to really figure it out after the Asylum. Good thing I did though since you require the elevator shortcut.
Culex - Super Mario RPG. First time players probably wouldn't put too much thought into a shiny stone, and trade it away for a carbo cookie to get a frog coin, and be disappointed to find out the bucket leads back to the waterfall minigame and not a secret dungeon. But if you hold onto the shiny stone all the way up to Monstro Town, you can unlock a sealed door and fight what I personally consider to be one of the funnest bosses in the game.
Here's one that got me; Izanami from Persona 4 Golden. The actual main baddie of the game, the goddess that started the entire story, and you can just skip her if, on your last day in Inaba, you don't go back to Junes after saying goodbye to all of your friends. Let me be clear: at this point you've already gone to Junes to say goodbye to Yosuke and Teddy. It's very easy to think it's time to go back to Dojima's. If you do, no true ending for you.
I played FF7 and completely missed Yuffie until near the end of the game when I purposely went looking for her. I was confused since she was on the box art. When I finally recruited her; long after getting the Highwind, she had weird dialog promising to not steal my materia and apologizing for some incidents that never happened. Years later my brother and I were talking about FF7 and he mentioned the island on the left of the map and how hard it was. I was confused and we both found out that you can totally miss Yuffie.
I will stand by my assertion the the 2nd one is far more fun to play. The first game is a great horror game, the sequel is a fun horror related action adventure with rpg-lite elements. I vastly prefer the 2nd.
When Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow was the newest title in the series, a friend of mine and I each got our own copies and played it. One of the bosses I beat is Gergoth, and like with every boss, beating it granted me a new power, the ability to fire a beam for as long as I could maintain the mana for it. When my friend saw me use that ability, she asked me where I'd gotten it. It turns out that not only had she never fought Gergoth, but last we knew, Gergoth isn't in her game at all! I'm not sure in the end if she managed to just miss the boss or if there was some kind of goof at Konami and copies of DoS just released without that boss.
You could add The Maker from Tiny Tina's Wonderlands to this. You have to take down all 3 optional hidden bosses in a single chaos chamber run to be able to fight her.
Uh the second Rival Battle on Route 22 in Red, Blue and Yellow is optional. And here’s the thing Jules, in Yellow the outcome of the first two rival battles depends on what your rival’s Eevee starter evolves into. If the player beats the rival at Professor Oak’s Lab and the early optional Route 22 battle, then your rival’s Eevee evolves into Jolteon. If the player loses one of the two battles or passes up the optional early battle at Route 22, then your rival’s Eevee evolves into Flareon. And if you lose at both Professor Oak’s Lab and the early optional Route 22 battle, then your rival’s Eevee evolves into Vaporeon.
I wonder if anybody has ever accidentally skipped the fight with Buzzar from Paper Mario. As you cross the bridge at Mt. Rugged, Buzzar will confront you, consult a wanted poster, and ask who you are. You can get into a battle with him by telling the truth, telling an obvious lie by saying you're Princess Peach... or skip the battle by claiming to be Luigi. Because you see, the poster is lineart on brown paper, meaning that there's no color on it other than that, and Buzzar doesn't know what colors either of you typically wear. I guess Buzzar doesn't want to get into unnecessary fights, so gives you the benefit of the doubt if you claim to be your brother. The only mechanical loss is that of missing out on Star Points -- the first two Paper Marios' version of experience points -- so it's not a big loss, but still...
I'm gonna toss out Virgin Born from Code Vein, the true final boss. Accidentally missing this boss is relatively plausible, as you need to defeat the 4 Successor bosses without saving them. Saving them requires collecting several key items for each of them in their respective areas before defeating them. So if you defeat them before collecting what you need, you're locked into killing them. When you defeat the boss of the final area at that point, you will skip the true final boss and get the worst ending.
Here's a couple from the same game; Empress of Light and Duke Fishron from the game "Terraria". They're both locked behind semi-rare spawn critters you have to catch and use. The former spawns when you kill a butterfly that only spawns between 7:30pm and midnight, and can trigger a vicious alternate battle if killed during the daytime. The latter requires finding a very small worm critter, catching it before it flees, and fishing in an ocean with the worm as bait. With a wiki and mods, you'll easily know about them, but they are optional bosses that are fairly tough compared to the bosses they're preceded by, and it's very much possible to never see them if you don't know to hunt them down. There's also Deerclops, a crossover boss from "Don't Starve" that requires using ore and fur to spawn (or a blizzard at midnight), and Queen Slime, an ugly blob that can only be spawned from a rare crystal underground that's super tiny.
There are a lot of these. Resi 4 for example krauzer or what ever his name is a mad knife fight quick time events tense action then only to fire an RPG at Salazar to win the game, yaaaaawn 😂
The Undeep was a boss? 0-0 It ate me the first time I saw it, but I killed it on the second cos I saw the glowy spots and thought "Oh, killing it should make moving about easier". XD Also, for Morgan Freeman, I would suggest Mysterio cos he can self revive (very helpful cos he can be used to revive others with items), Stan and Wendy for their ranged attacks and specials, and to use the clone fart often. It took me 10 minutes to beat him, used a good chunk of my items and had way too many close calls.
I don't know if you would call it "a boss", but there's that fight against a werewolf in VTM: Redemption. If after you get to the top of the tower you decide you don't want to make it all the way down walking and instead you just use Walk the Abyss to get back into your heaven, and from there move on with the game without ever coming back to the tower, you never pass by the point in which the werewolf spawns and jumps at you, and if taking the Walk the Abyss short cut were your default procedure after completing the objective for going up the tower, you may never ever know they placed a freaking werewolf, a beast arguably way harder to defeat than even the final boss of the game, just there where you weren't expecting it to be.
In Pokémon Yellow the first 2 fights with your rival actually determine what his Eevee will evolve into. Skipping the second fight counts as a lose. If you win both fights he gets a vaporeon, if you lose both he gets a flareon, and if you win one and lose one he gets a jolteon.
Definitely Darkeater Midir from Dark Souls 3. You have to go up an elevator shortcut, go through a hidden entry point halfway up the elevator, and then go through an illusory wall. An illusory wall is a fake wall that you have to hit or roll into to make it dissapear.
In Cyberpunk 2077 when you have to retrieve a military robot, you have the option to try to talk to Royce (a Maelstrom leader) or attack him. The first option fails because he is too angry to negotiate and the second turns his lights out, completely skipping his fight.
When the title said "skipped" I figured you meant like when I shot The End just to see if it would work, then realized it did work and he died. A good few of these are more "missed" or "glossed over"
When taking on Laura in The Evil Within 1, what you want to do is upgrade your crossbow such that the regular bolts become incendiary. She is super weak to fire. So you can use that and the explosive bolts. And whenever she teleports you can drop a match to set her on fire. Don't waste your shotgun ammo on her until you've set her on fire as much as possible.
Laura is kinda "easy" if you have the flame bolts or even better, upgraded your regular bolts to the max, because they're cheap and they will set her on fire which causes a lot of damage to her.
Iirc you can't skip that rival battle on the way to the Pokemon League. If you go there later, your rival just has a stronger team. I have definitely been challenged by him on my way to the Pokemon League when I had all 8 badges.
Well could have mentioned like 1/3 of the boss in Elden Ring...most of them are optional and quite easely passed by^^ Just to name a few Morgh, Malenia, Placidusax, Fortissax and a bunch more...
Another example (though very easy boss) is one of the Mebious in Xenoblade 3, which appears before final boss. But ONLY if you completed Eunie's hero quest. The stupid thing about this, that it reveals some story moments about the villian's goals and lore, and you can totally miss that.
I working on platinuming The Evil Within right now. (Not a brag it’s been ROUGH) I’ve played through a few times and cannot recommend fighting her in that encounter your first time through. You likely won’t even have the materials to take her down. Wait until new game plus so you can use the rocket launcher.
Usually when I hear "Video Game Boss" I harp about how they skip.some Baal Variant, but this time... Disgaea hour of Darkness there are a couple hidden optional bosses that are easy to enough to unlock, but also easy to skip (as some can give you an alternate ending). If you max out the stronger Enemy Bill, at the Dark Assembly then speak to plenair, she will alert you that something strange is happening at one of the map Areas you have beaten earlier in the game. When you get there a cutscene happens where the MC finds a book, talks about how old + frail it looks, then the Book attacks the party and an Trauma inducingly tough Boss Battle with ZETTA happens😂😂😂. He can't move but has frankly maddening range in his special Zetta Beam and Zetta BEEEEEAM and has a group of lv 9999 mobs with him while the ally damage 80%, enemy boost x3 effect, and Warp (character randomly teleport around the map at the end of turn) effect make it 1 HELL of a battle.😂😂😂
second encounter (i think) of the spider boss in devil may cry 1 makes you run from it and escape thru a door (skip the fight), but it can be defeated, meaning its going to melt the floor beneth and escape. and in the final fight the cut scene after hints at a way the semi skip the fight (=you dont have to attack it at all to beat it)
I actually didn't know you could run away from Laura on my first run of Evil Within so it took a while and a lot of trial and error but I beat her on my first run. I also beat the Moon Presence on my first play-through of BB lol. I cheated a bit, I found the cords but I honestly would have never though to "use or consume them" and I really try not to look stuff up in these games unless I get really desperate but I ended up googling them near the end just to see what they were for so I ate 'em.
Ok how did you skip Laura, because every time I get to her fight in the story it would let me get away. The game always had it to where she would out right kill me if I just tried to escape instead of fighting her.
@@truekurayami I've actually never skipped her - I beat her in every run. You can delay long enough to get to the elevator at the end and not fight her, through. I've beat the game a bunch of times even Nightmare on a new game run so I wasn't too bad at it but I always took the time to beat Laura so I could get the key at the end of her area. I believe you would have to run around and keep catching her on fire for long enough for the elevator to come up and get in but it's been a while. (at least in the first encounter I think you fight her again if I'm not mistaken and you have to fight her?)
@@Synthetic-Rabbit From what I remember outside NG+ they don't expect you to actually fight her, just escape, the second encounter is her actual boss fight, and I was never able to skip that, but ya it was either do it the expensive way the video said, or run around using the fire traps.
@@truekurayami Yeah when doing reading afterwards most guides said "you should fight her when you have the rocket launcher" But if you practice at it you can beat her without really expending too much ammo if you're good with burning the bodies as she spawns and the fire traps. I'm not saying it was easy, it was a lot of trial and error and a lot of deaths but I've done it on Hard and Nightmare (non NG+) I've never tried the "Akura" difficulty (I might be spelling that wrong)
Also, I think I remember what you're referring to by being hit once... you can't get hit by her. It takes a long time and if you keep burning her and you have some shotgun shells you can beat her but you need to get the burn on EVERY body basically. The timing is a little weird you have to delay for a full second or so or it won't effect her. I might play the game again soon and I'll try to record it and put it on youtube. I'm no professional but
Olgeird Von Everec in Witcher 3 a cool sword fight with a guy with magical abilities that he gained from the devil himself… Can be skipped with the right dialogue options.
For all those old enough to have seen "History of the World Part 1" all I have to say is "Marquis De Bullion" ... "Count De Money"... Coincidence 🤔 I think not😂
I'm in no rush to go back to AC: Unity, not because of the widely reported issues it had on release but because one of their updates wiped my save data. Was close to 100% at the time so that was massively deflating.
So I AM playing Lost planet for the first time, and I AM at the worm boss. And he IS kicking my ass. I had no idea the thing was optional. There's not really anything that suggests I should run away. I don't even know how I would. I think I've gotten close to killing it, some of those "shoot this red dot" points can become pretty difficult to get to.
WRONG! In Pokémon Red and Blue, you miss out on 5 pokéballs also if you didn't catch any other pokémon before fighting Gary. After the battle, return to Oak for the freebie! You can only have the starter and no pokéballs in your possession, or Oak won't give you the five balls.
... I'm not sure I'd call some of these "accidentally skipped". Taurus Demon? Absolutely. The ones you are supposed to run from? You do technically fight it for a bit. Rodin? Buddy that's not a skip. That's making damn sure I'm ready assuming I ever am.
I wouldn't call Laura a rewarding boss battle. I hated fighting her until new game+ anyway. Once you have the flame crossbow she's pretty tame. But I always had the impression that you had to fight her. How do you skipping her?
You know, it’s been a few years now (maybe 2020) since I played the original Resident Evil on PC (the 1997 version), but I don’t remember being able to skip the Tyrant even if you made all the wrong decisions. I remember Rebecca being decapitated on several play throughs and I still had to beat the Tyrant to beat the game. Maybe it was just in the remake/remaster 🤷🏽♂️
How on earth isn't Olgierd from the Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone not on the list? It is incredible easy to miss his fight by choosing the wrong (or right) dialogue. There isn't any clue that you missed it and the fight itself is so epic that it has been talked about and shown countless of times, especially since it is an homage to a famous Polish movie. It is almost like this entire list was made for this entry and yet somehow you missed it, which is quite ironic given the subject of the video.
I don't recall Laura being that difficult once you learn what you need to do. You just need to run her around and keep lighting her on fire. I don't think you needed to waste that much ammo. I could be wrong. Long time since I played the game.
She’s terrifying at first but once you figure out how to synchronize her running animation with the buring corpse fire animation she’s dreadfully easy to beat and you literally don’t need to waste a single shot either
@@king_of_frauds if you choose it you can’t progress through the game anymore, it gives you an obvious choice but is missable because people almost certainly wouldn’t choose the shura option on their 1st play through
i dont ever consider a boss that requires a heavy grind quest anything fun or accidentally skipped skipped would be something missable by accident doesnt mean i didnt do the obvious 100% run for the extra end boss
Hey how about metal gear 3 boss? Where you can shoot the sleeping old man? Everyone skips this boss. Which is considered the most challenging boss fights in the game.
You're lying, Jules. The Gen 1 Pokemon games had a character limit of seven letters for the player's name and rival's name. You couldn't have named him "Spunknose", because there simply aren't enough available letters, the best you could have done is "Spunkno".
Got a Deja Vu. There's another RE game with an optional final boss: REVELATIONS 2. I always got the bad ending, thus always missing out on the second half of the fight against Alex😅 :(
Laura boss fight well the final one is just annoying she’s even easier if you max upgrade the explosive and the base bolts and save your scarp metal to craft more of both, in the second game if you put slightly more effort to repair the flamethrower you can kill her super fast and get the achievement
My South Park character was Black, but I changed his race just so I could fight Morgan Freeman. By that time tho I had all the powers plus the DLC powers and characters so I was ready
For Dark Souls I would have definitely gone with Priscilla. Finding your way back to the Undead Asylum, finding the doll, and linking it with the painting in Anor Londo…definitely obscure and one of the coolest areas in the game.

I'm not sure in the end if she managed to just miss the boss or if there was some kind of goof at Konami and copies of DoS just released without that boss.
Did the games have matching box or cartridge art?
EU / US / JAP Difference maybe? Some games did that back at the time, depending on region.
You could add The Maker from Tiny Tina's Wonderlands to this. You have to take down all 3 optional hidden bosses in a single chaos chamber run to be able to fight her.
I'm fairly sure that if you skip the Cyclops battle in Castlevania 3, you skip the ability to rescue and recruit Sypha.
I dont call level branches "skips". Dont you also need to "skip" sypha's route to get Alucard's route?
Uh the second Rival Battle on Route 22 in Red, Blue and Yellow is optional. And here’s the thing Jules, in Yellow the outcome of the first two rival battles depends on what your rival’s Eevee starter evolves into.

When you get there a cutscene happens where the MC finds a book, talks about how old + frail it looks, then the Book attacks the party and an Trauma inducingly tough Boss Battle with ZETTA happens😂😂😂. He can't move but has frankly maddening range in his special Zetta Beam and Zetta BEEEEEAM and has a group of lv 9999 mobs with him while the ally damage 80%, enemy boost x3 effect, and Warp (character randomly teleport around the map at the end of turn) effect make it 1 HELL of a battle.😂😂😂
Jules, there were 3 Lost Planet entries, not 2!! lol
Yeah but let's be honest, everyone wants to forget that 3 exists.
second encounter (i think) of the spider boss in devil may cry 1 makes you run from it and escape thru a door (skip the fight), but it can be defeated, meaning its going to melt the floor beneth and escape. and in the final fight the cut scene after hints at a way the semi skip the fight (=you dont have to attack it at all to beat it)
I actually didn't know you could run away from Laura on my first run of Evil Within so it took a while and a lot of trial and error but I beat her on my first run.
I also beat the Moon Presence on my first play-through of BB lol. I cheated a bit, I found the cords but I honestly would have never though to "use or consume them" and I really try not to look stuff up in these games unless I get really desperate but I ended up googling them near the end just to see what they were for so I ate 'em.
Ok how did you skip Laura, because every time I get to her fight in the story it would let me get away. The game always had it to where she would out right kill me if I just tried to escape instead of fighting her.
@@truekurayami I've actually never skipped her - I beat her in every run. You can delay long enough to get to the elevator at the end and not fight her, through.
I've beat the game a bunch of times even Nightmare on a new game run so I wasn't too bad at it but I always took the time to beat Laura so I could get the key at the end of her area.
I believe you would have to run around and keep catching her on fire for long enough for the elevator to come up and get in but it's been a while. (at least in the first encounter I think you fight her again if I'm not mistaken and you have to fight her?)
@@Synthetic-Rabbit From what I remember outside NG+ they don't expect you to actually fight her, just escape, the second encounter is her actual boss fight, and I was never able to skip that, but ya it was either do it the expensive way the video said, or run around using the fire traps.
@@truekurayami Yeah when doing reading afterwards most guides said "you should fight her when you have the rocket launcher"
But if you practice at it you can beat her without really expending too much ammo if you're good with burning the bodies as she spawns and the fire traps. I'm not saying it was easy, it was a lot of trial and error and a lot of deaths but I've done it on Hard and Nightmare (non NG+)
I've never tried the "Akura" difficulty (I might be spelling that wrong)
Also, I think I remember what you're referring to by being hit once... you can't get hit by her. It takes a long time and if you keep burning her and you have some shotgun shells you can beat her but you need to get the burn on EVERY body basically. The timing is a little weird you have to delay for a full second or so or it won't effect her.
I might play the game again soon and I'll try to record it and put it on youtube. I'm no professional but
Olgeird Von Everec in Witcher 3 a cool sword fight with a guy with magical abilities that he gained from the devil himself…
Can be skipped with the right dialogue options.
Damn good boss fight, though.
Dunno if I'd consider missing secret bosses as "skipping bosses". Unless you knew they were actually there, you're not actively skipping them.
You need the Moran Freeman fight for the platinum so I don't think it was missed that much.
For all those old enough to have seen "History of the World Part 1" all I have to say is "Marquis De Bullion" ... "Count De Money"... Coincidence 🤔 I think not😂
And with his attire to boot, I would definitely have to say this is a nod to the movie! It's good to be the king 😂
First time I ever fought the Taurus Demon, he walked too close to the edge of the wall and fell off 😂
Very underwhelming
I actually killed undeep on my first playthrough. Totally didn't realize it was optional.
I'm in no rush to go back to AC: Unity, not because of the widely reported issues it had on release but because one of their updates wiped my save data. Was close to 100% at the time so that was massively deflating.
Rabbit statue or Emil from nier automata? Those can be pretty hard and are quite fun!
The last valkyrie on God of War, that boss is a madness
You're not kidding. I'm on this now. And I decided to go to the chamber to more enchantments. As it's hard af
Good luck bro for sure man. It’s such a mental struggle wen her health bar is low, just have to maintain your nerve an perry, your got this 🫡💪🏻
So I AM playing Lost planet for the first time, and I AM at the worm boss. And he IS kicking my ass.
I had no idea the thing was optional. There's not really anything that suggests I should run away. I don't even know how I would.
I think I've gotten close to killing it, some of those "shoot this red dot" points can become pretty difficult to get to.
WRONG! In Pokémon Red and Blue, you miss out on 5 pokéballs also if you didn't catch any other pokémon before fighting Gary. After the battle, return to Oak for the freebie! You can only have the starter and no pokéballs in your possession, or Oak won't give you the five balls.
... I'm not sure I'd call some of these "accidentally skipped". Taurus Demon? Absolutely. The ones you are supposed to run from? You do technically fight it for a bit. Rodin? Buddy that's not a skip. That's making damn sure I'm ready assuming I ever am.
Malenia, from Elden Ring. I completed the game twice and only learned about her existence months later, by looking at recommended videos on YT.
I wouldn't call Laura a rewarding boss battle. I hated fighting her until new game+ anyway. Once you have the flame crossbow she's pretty tame. But I always had the impression that you had to fight her. How do you skipping her?
You just had to run to the lift/ elevator and it will go to the cut scene to the next chapter
You know, it’s been a few years now (maybe 2020) since I played the original Resident Evil on PC (the 1997 version), but I don’t remember being able to skip the Tyrant even if you made all the wrong decisions. I remember Rebecca being decapitated on several play throughs and I still had to beat the Tyrant to beat the game. Maybe it was just in the remake/remaster 🤷🏽♂️
Death's Gambit has 4-5 missable boss fights depending on how thorough you are at going through the game.
How on earth isn't Olgierd from the Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone not on the list? It is incredible easy to miss his fight by choosing the wrong (or right) dialogue. There isn't any clue that you missed it and the fight itself is so epic that it has been talked about and shown countless of times, especially since it is an homage to a famous Polish movie.
It is almost like this entire list was made for this entry and yet somehow you missed it, which is quite ironic given the subject of the video.
I don't recall Laura being that difficult once you learn what you need to do. You just need to run her around and keep lighting her on fire. I don't think you needed to waste that much ammo. I could be wrong. Long time since I played the game.
She’s terrifying at first but once you figure out how to synchronize her running animation with the buring corpse fire animation she’s dreadfully easy to beat and you literally don’t need to waste a single shot either
@@Son.D.Lollipop I thought I remembered that all you had to do was burn her up.
The shura path in Sekiro lets you fight two missable bosses. Emma & Old man Isshin
The Shura path isn't very missable.
@@king_of_frauds if you choose it you can’t progress through the game anymore, it gives you an obvious choice but is missable because people almost certainly wouldn’t choose the shura option on their 1st play through
Jules I see you paint minis :D do you have any channel or socials to follow you with that side of things?
what about in Super Mario RPG? in Monstro Town there is a hidden boss named Culex thats easy to miss if you dont know how to get to him
Broke my ankle running to TikTok after Jules's plug
i dont ever consider a boss that requires a heavy grind quest anything fun or accidentally skipped
skipped would be something missable by accident doesnt mean i didnt do the obvious 100% run for the extra end boss
Hey how about metal gear 3 boss? Where you can shoot the sleeping old man? Everyone skips this boss. Which is considered the most challenging boss fights in the game.
I didn't know that you can run away from Laura there oO
That trophy had better be worth it to face Morgan Freeman. It was but it was still a tough fight!
The music alone was worth the long fight
Morgan Freeman is by far the hardest boss in the South Park games.
I have 100% of the achievements in Unity and I didn’t even know about the cake much less the boss they lead too…
Yiazmat from Final Fantasy 12 was the most pain in the butt I have ever fought
i mean theres a difference between skipping a boss and the optional bosses yeah
Jevil would like to know your location
I assumed you had to fight Laura, huh my friends and I beat her after like 3 tries
You're lying, Jules.
The Gen 1 Pokemon games had a character limit of seven letters for the player's name and rival's name. You couldn't have named him "Spunknose", because there simply aren't enough available letters, the best you could have done is "Spunkno".
If I'd have known you could skip the Laura boss fight I would have
Sekiro Owl Father in Hirata Estate should have been on the list due to the weird way you get his bell to travel to the location.
He's not optional for the ending though.
You mean the 3 Lost Planet games, not 2. There is a 3rd one 😂
My brother fought laura because he didnt know you could've ran away from her.
Whatculture, please include timestamps!
By the title, thought it was bosses, not optional bosses. Still interesting.
You can skip 3 of the 4 Turks battles in the OG Ff7. In case you need one for the next time you do this.
Got a Deja Vu.
There's another RE game with an optional final boss: REVELATIONS 2. I always got the bad ending, thus always missing out on the second half of the fight against Alex😅 :(
Hell half of Elden Ring is bosses you can skip.
Morgan Freeman is Awesome...both as an Actor and as a Boss in South Park
there where 5 Lost planet games released, not 2.
There’s 3 Lost Planet games my guy. Although, the third wasn’t that good, so I can understand not wanting to mention it. Lol
Worm? ❤
Ive been hooked on dune lately lol.
Ayo... here me out real quick... Laura kinda stacked tho, WHAT THEM HANDS DO LAURA?!?!?! 😅
To fight Morgan Freeman you can't be obscure 😅
Favorite super boss count down?
I LOVE YOU DAWG YOU'RE A HUGE INSPIRATION
Laura boss fight well the final one is just annoying she’s even easier if you max upgrade the explosive and the base bolts and save your scarp metal to craft more of both, in the second game if you put slightly more effort to repair the flamethrower you can kill her super fast and get the achievement
I had to fight The Moon Presence for the platinum.
There were 3 Lost Planet Games
Guys there’s three lost planet games
My South Park character was Black, but I changed his race just so I could fight Morgan Freeman. By that time tho I had all the powers plus the DLC powers and characters so I was ready
I actually beat Laura but man did it eat away at my inventory for the next chapter.
Laura was optional?!
