Those huge AOE attacks that fill most of the arena and insta kill you even though you swear you were running away! Lots of those in Ni No Kuni 2 which I'm currently playing after all of Robs recommendations over the years!
The un-blockable/un-dodgable attacks… why fake it?! Just reduce my health bar and let me keep fighting, instead make me think I have a chance even though there is none
I agree with healing for 1 reason only. If it takes 3 hits to kill me and 300 hits to kill the boss, then healing is a big agitating for the boss to have.
Same. I feel it's fair to an extinct but if it's a boss that already has a ton of health and can just restore all of it instantly then it feels unfair.
Bosses where all skill and gameplay rules learned prior to that point is completely irrelevant to defeating that boss. It's difficult to say whether this is just making the boss artificially hard or a very insightful life lesson.
Final Boss in Beyond Good and Evil when you are suddenly having to, midfight, figure out how to control things backwards is crazy memorable and frustrating!!!
Boss fights that are timed. This is usually seen in JRPG but it's so infuriating cause, most likely, at that point you're dealing with an already difficult boss that can end you in seconds if you're not careful, but now you have to do it in 30-50 turns or less.
Bosses that can hit you through walls buildings etc. The whole point of those things being in the boss arena Is to go behind to heal or block a attack but games like elden ring boss and really all enemies can hit through anything.
@@Harabusa200 I have not been able to hit through a wall since day one. There is very few things that hit through walls but most of the time the weapon I'm using will just bounce off. And the times I have hit through the wall it did not hit the enemy that was Hitting me. I've never seen a enemies weapon bounce off a object of any kind. And it would be completely fair If the wall or whatever the enemy hit me through broke that would make since. In lyndell there is a tree spirt that can go through a building with its whole body I ran inside a building to heal safely and somehow it attacked Me through the wall. Enemies can even grab you through walls and glitch the game out I feel through the map because of that. I understand elden ring isn't ment to be a fair game but Hitting through walls I don't think that was planned because if you're fighting a troll they bounce off the wall if they run into it but for some reason with their slamming the sword down attack the whole troll can go through the wall. Another one is fighting the godskin duo the fatboy can poke you through the pillars but can't roll through it unless you get close enough. I'm just saying it's only fair if you can attack with anything through a wall like them not just certain things
I think it would be neat to see this video through the eyes of the boss and how they think that it’s unfair for us to have never ending bags of healing potions and our cheeky dodge rolls we can’t stop doing etc.
@@aggressiveloaf6900 yes! Do one episode of the boss just in awe/flabbergasted with the sheer stupidness of the player character. The pausing, rolling, health potion bs. Have the character kill the boss....next episode is the therapist office, with the boss, still flabbergasted and flustered with the utter nonsense/unfair advantage of the human player.
I think the most annoying boss fight is “you can’t kill it “…….I remember in a JRPG there was a fight that you have to reduce its health to like 1 HP without killing it. Also there are times that the boss like mind controlled innocent people that attack you ruthlessly , you have to dodge all the time and any little AOE damage will kill them then game over
Rob, I’m pretty sure you won’t see this but I really miss your old videos especially the trophy related ones. And I find myself rewatching that playlist from time to time. I love these videos but those were just class.
@@chrislodico the energy in those videos were just on another level and even the one on onesie videos just pure happiness from those videos. Here’s to hoping it can come back to some degree like the old ones.
Hell yeah on entry 4. I immediately thought of this when reading the title of this video. There's too many games to llst where this has bothered me, but the one that I always hated the most was in God of War 3 fighting Hercules. Not because his mobs were difficult or anything. As a matter of fact I think they are the easiest of any game that I've encountered that does this. But from a narrative perspective it just rubbed me the wrong way. Here we have Hercules going on about Kratos having earned Zeus' favor instead of him. And that he wants to prove once and for all that he is better than Kratos. And he does this by jumping out of Kratos' reach and letting fodder gang up on Kratos? If you want to prove that you are stronger and want to earn respect for it, then this is clearly the wrong way to go about it Hercules.
Honestly I'm alright with phases most of the time, but third phases can actually stop existing. There is no worse feeling in games when after the second phase you get all the joy of beating the boss, and then have it ripped away by a cutscene or special animation or something.
For me it would have to be 2-on-1 boss battles. And I don't just mean a boss battle where you happen to fight against two characters, I'm talking about when the game gets two separate bosses you fought previously and has them team-up to fight against the player. The worst offender in this that I dealt with were the Nioh games, especially the first one. Most of the bosses in those games are pretty tough already, and yet Nioh felt it was a good idea to make the player fight against two bosses at once a number of times, and that got old REAL quick.
@@deetsitmeisterjd oh goodness he was a Strong boy too!! It absolutely forced me to learn the burst counter, which I wouldn’t have picked up so quickly otherwise 😆
Bosses should not have battle conditions. The twins from Persona 5. Want to defeat us. Well, you better defeat us at the same time otherwise we'll simply revive the fallen with 50% HP. Oh, and those bazillion items you have after grinding for 200 hours. Well, if your plan was to recover your magic and slowly reduce our health one at a time, forget it because you must also defeat us in a limited number of rounds or it is instant game over for you. Or worse Lavenza from Royal. Every round of turns has a specific requirement like inflicting status ailment or critical hit while doing enough damage each round, and obviously in a limited number of rounds. And if you fail even once, instant KO. My favorite boss battle has to be Dante v Vergil. It is like fighting a mirror image of yourself.
The reason I don't like Persona 5 was that the whole game felt like artificially limited: you have a limited number of days to finish the game, each day has a limited number of activities you can do, some activities can only be done on certain days. I'm the kind of player that likes to take his time in RPGs and explore everything the game has to offer, but persona 5 felt stressful to me
@@ShikaStyle123 The limited time mechanic was one of the things that made P5 fun for me. It was a refreshing welcome after the never ending deadline of other games. The big baddie that is about to rule the world is not going to wait for you forever. I liked the fact that as the deadline gets closer for a boss, you can see the pressure it puts not only on you but also on your teammates. And like real life you can do only limited and select stuff in a day. Not for everyone for sure, but I loved that it forced me to plan my schedule.
Yes so much. okumura did my head in. Timed and you have to take out the first 4/5 waves in 2 moves per party member and they all have different weaknesses. I nearly burst a blood vessel.
VODsquad just watched Christmas Maze series while getting through covid. You guys made a very sick day so much easier to get through. Absolutely hilarious! Thanks guys and gals.
The one I find absolutely hilarious is when you're going along as the protagonist and a boss challenges YOU FIRST and then when you eviscerate them they're like HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME I'm like dude I'm just walking along here 😂
That moment when you've just casted your big finisher and after just two hits the boss unlocks his 2nd form using a frikin cutscene that cancels your finisher and then comes back at you bigger, badder and all buffed up.
My two most infuriating ones are: Immunity to X - When a boss is immune to a type of damage. Oh look! I only deal that kind of damage. Oh joy I can't kill this due to RNG. Wining only on the cutscenes - Outriders is the biggest offender for me. Chock full of bosses that you wipe their asses during normal gameplay just for the cutscene do go "Nah, I totally am stronger than you and that did not happen. I won"
A couple of Sekiro boss phases had me cheering/screaming so loud when I (after many, many attempts) beat them, then they just obliterate me in seconds in the next phase lol!
For me its the boss fights that take away all of your skills and make you fight in a very specific way. Here’s looking at you final boss of Rise of the Tomb Raider.
I'm replaying Final Fantasy 12 and I just finished the fight against the esper Cuchulain. I don't know if it counts as a boss move but there is an area effect in the fight that has your Hp constantly draining making you have to finish the fight fast or be stuck repeatedly healing. This should count in FF12 there are to moves many bosses including the one mentioned use called Stopja and Disableaja. 2 moves that instantly stop and action you can make.
The ONLY positive to Gill resurrecting is that his Super Meter is locked out for the rest of the fight. Not that he'll need it to peel 70% off your health bar after one hit-confirm.
Bosses that cancel an animation do do a different attack. This includes times where a boss goes to do attack A, but hitting them during said attack leads them to stop that attack midway through and switch to different attack.
I dunno why Rob was mentioning Beatrix and showing parts of the scene where she absolutely BODIES the player party. She won. When you fight again, YOU are the one saying you've gotten stronger.
You never actually defeat her though. She always ends the fight with Stock Break/Climhazard which leaves you with 1HP and then the fight ends. Kuja is the same way, wiping out your entire party with Ultima when you "beat" him.
I love that FF8 was shown with Rob. Lol. I feel his pain. I was like junction schmucntion. Power leveled to 99. End game: Owned. Ruby Dragons at full strength -_-
Bosses shouldn't heal. They already have impossibly high HP compared to the player, they don't NEED healing. If the mooks that I can kill in 2-3 hits want to heal while I'm tearing their ally that got between us in half, go ahead, but bosses should be banned from undoing 10 minutes worth of damage.
None of these phase me when properly explained (hence Erik in HFW didn't bother me). Sometimes all one can/should do is flee (which is why Vader in Jedi FO works).
Okay, I loved it when it was just Rob doing these. I felt it ruined it when the whole team get involved. But having just Rob and Holy doing the videos is good. This is the format to stick with
When I think of #7 Lack of humility, I always think of Anakin Skywalker in ep3. "You underestimate my power!" *is dismembered and left for dead in the very next breath, blink and you'll miss it style.
Not a Boss move but more of a Game move, but still counting it as a Boss move that shouldn't be allowed because it is the boss doing it. And that is killing a character during a cutscene. The game only does this because they know if it wasn't a cutscene we would've easily saved them. So we're there, stuck and unable to move, and then goodbye beloved character. Still pissed about Fyra from Nier: Replicant. Other examples would be Lucy from AC Brotherhood (I know she's the enemy) and even though I never played FF7, I'm pretty sure you would be able to save Aerith.
Its a bit sad how few people realise that the idea is to just...hit the boss You get a good 5+ seconds to rally back all of your hp at the double the normal rate while the boss just sits there Its a mechanic they 'should' have been using the entire game, so youd think itd come naturally
Beat the moon presence on my 2nd attempt, i would say, BB teaches you to be as agressive as possible and then you get defiled amygdala and that's the only boss where you have to be patient and lure out it's attacks
@@koheikyouji glad you found the game so easy lol just saying that attack threw me for a loop on my first playthrough 😂 you might find it sad but I thoroughly enjoyed the process
Not a new entry but shout out to Lucifer at the end of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne - Maniacs Chronicle Edition. The final final boss of the True Demon Ending, who when he’s almost dead casts Diarahan for a full heal of his frankly absurd health. A great thank you for all your hard work as protagonist in Lucifer’s name.
Input reading cheats like Shao Khan are the worst, followed by bosses that make you wade through other multiple bosses in a row just to get to them, like Tiny Tina’s penultimate raid boss.
It's surprising how well devil may cry 3's Arkham fits on this list barring the healing he's done all of this stuff,would of also put in the one unblockable attack move that will one shot a player that isn't sure what to do to prevent it from happening
Biggest problem is when healing and phases combined and the 50 minutes i spent hitting the boss and using all my SP is now undone. Except now i have 10 sp each.
When a boss's health bar goes to zero and they nonchalantly walk it off in the next cutscene, that's what gets me! If the cutscene triggers when they're at say 10% health that's fine, otherwise it just feels like they're not respecting the very basis of being a video game character!
Not big bosses but mini bosses the game doesn't let you beat until later. For example Kai Leng in Mass Effect, just wanted to boot him into space sooo much, but the game didn't let me for ages!
Honestly for invulnerability it's funny that you picked sigrun, because her guard is so easy to break and, if you failed, the following attack is very easy to dodge. Literally her least punishing move
The Kill every party member but one move (*cough* Ruby Weapon*cough*) The immune to everything but a specific weapon/ability move The sudden boost of speed to overtake you move (Wizpig from Diddy Kong Racing) The "u have to pull this level/press this button to drop something on me to kill me" move The knock everyone down to 1 HP move.
I was FURIOUS when in Dead by Daylight 2 a certain enemy, which I clubbed down and then clubbed a lot more on the body, just stood up when I wanted to go and boom: Full health!! Twice!
Yiazmat from FF12 can fall under the healing entry. How dare he cast Reflect on the entire party and then bounce Renew off it to completely restore its 50 MILLION HP!!!!
What boss moves do you think should be banned? Let us know!
Most of the Elden ring boss moves 😂
Those huge AOE attacks that fill most of the arena and insta kill you even though you swear you were running away! Lots of those in Ni No Kuni 2 which I'm currently playing after all of Robs recommendations over the years!

Instant kill moves. Just instant kill moves. They're always cheap in boss fights and you'll never see it coming especially the first time.
exactly it's bs.
Cracking video! The ability to one shot you out of nowhere has always wound me up. Im talking to you Defiled Amygdala!
Or the Rot Thot from elden ring
One not seen in modern games anymore but an occasional pain in older ones: unavoidable attacks were the worst
The one shot kill, you work so hard to chip at a bosses health then they cheese you with a one hit wonder.
I think unblockable/ hard to dodge grab moves by bosses are the worst. Really makes the fight seem a bit unfair!
Or when they’re programmed to forcibly expose your hit box (*cough* Alma from Ninja Gaiden *cough*)

I want to see Rob vs Malenia, 2hr+ stream thaaanks
Yep I was expecting her to show up I’m this video…but not even a cameo. Pretty much everything about her is unfair.
Chaos, the final boss in Final Fantasy 1 has a fair chance of casting Cure 4 on himself...
It's surprising how well devil may cry 3's Arkham fits on this list barring the healing he's done all of this stuff,would of also put in the one unblockable attack move that will one shot a player that isn't sure what to do to prevent it from happening
Biggest problem is when healing and phases combined and the 50 minutes i spent hitting the boss and using all my SP is now undone. Except now i have 10 sp each.
Rob coming back for his second entry or...phase
Rob REALLY wanted to become Squall huh 🤣
When a boss's health bar goes to zero and they nonchalantly walk it off in the next cutscene, that's what gets me! If the cutscene triggers when they're at say 10% health that's fine, otherwise it just feels like they're not respecting the very basis of being a video game character!
I hope someday Rob changes his title of "You can't tough this mode" to "McHammer mode" better ring to it 🙂
Oooh, the two best people for this video, this is going to be good *wrings hands cackling*
What else should be added to the list I think, would be sephiroth from kingdom hearts game
Rob’s mention of boss arrogance took me straight to Theseus in Hades...
How about Bosses who won’t stay dead? Looking at you Seymour from FFX!
Saw the title, and I thought HEALING! That's my thing!
Not big bosses but mini bosses the game doesn't let you beat until later. For example Kai Leng in Mass Effect, just wanted to boot him into space sooo much, but the game didn't let me for ages!
Honestly for invulnerability it's funny that you picked sigrun, because her guard is so easy to break and, if you failed, the following attack is very easy to dodge. Literally her least punishing move
When they summon a plant vine or something to grab and hold you in place.
Ash and Rob together is chaos
I love it
When you beat a boss and then stage 2 is just the same boss, only now there's two of them...looking at you, Doom!
Sekiro's Guardian Ape is not on this list? Guys a part two is needed here, onegaishimasu.
Waterfowl Dance
For me, one of the worst boss moves that should be illegal is the Malbodoom's bad breath attack in literally every final fantasy game it appears in
3:13 I never thought they were bad sore losers.
Until I met Kaiser Sigma in Mega Man X3.
KH Series Desperation Moves... and most of The Unknown's attacks in KH BBS
The Kill every party member but one move (*cough* Ruby Weapon*cough*)
The immune to everything but a specific weapon/ability move
The sudden boost of speed to overtake you move (Wizpig from Diddy Kong Racing)
The "u have to pull this level/press this button to drop something on me to kill me" move
The knock everyone down to 1 HP move.
each day it pass i miss robs only fryday features more
I was FURIOUS when in Dead by Daylight 2 a certain enemy, which I clubbed down and then clubbed a lot more on the body, just stood up when I wanted to go and boom: Full health!! Twice!
Number One
Super Saiyan Rob Pearson's Final Flash.
This was awesome. More lists, more ash
I feel like Rob hasn’t mentioned Skyrim in ages!! He feeling alright?? 😁
Just FYI: "Chitinous" is pronounced "kɑ́jtɪnəs" ("KY-ti-nuhs") 🙂
When such a boss frustrates you so terribly, you lose the power of proper pronunciation.
Great video as always
Bosses that teleport - I'm looking at you Dr Wile from Megaman Zero 4 you coward
Diarahan in any Atlus game.
Yiazmat from FF12 can fall under the healing entry. How dare he cast Reflect on the entire party and then bounce Renew off it to completely restore its 50 MILLION HP!!!!
I miss the background music at the start of the video.. :(
The boss move I can't stand is when they down you, and then repeatedly hit you while you're down, not letting you heal!
More than half the list is covered by that damn Water Foul Dance
Bosses who run a way when there at low health and summon others enemies
