My only regret is that their was no mention of the fact that while he doesn't defeat himself for you past Pete actually helps you against current Pete... you are literally fighting with the boss to defeat the boss.
Though it's also the past Pete wasn't bad where as he became bad in the future, Future Pete also is doing it because his life ended up going miserably. I think he was doomed if he did and doomed if he didn;t as his original direction he also self sabotages himself as well as his his future attempt.
Pro tip: You don't actually have to have a metal shield in Breath of the Wild. Any shield will do as long as you time the reflect right. So you can take those stuck guardians out on the beginning plateau as long as you have a shield (Many wood ones widely available around there including a pot lid)
I feel like kohga in breath of the wild deserves a special mention here, especially since the guardians can be killed by other means, but kohga can only be defeated by his own attacks
I'm surprised that Snatcher from A Hat in Time is not on the list. You take one of the blue potions he throws at you to make him blue, thus making him vulnerable to attacks.
Fun fact, GLADOS's rage core was voiced by Mike Patton who also voiced most of the infected in Left 4 Dead, the Darkness in the game of the same name and its sequel and is also the hands down the most versatile singer in music as a whole
Chrono Trigger. One of the bosses has a charge attack that takes an insanely long time to get worked up, and if for some reason you can't beat it in that time, it's done in by its fear of heights. Because, of course, you're fighting on the deck of an airship.
Best game of all time!! At least in my opinion. Also, Dalton hooked you up by installing wings on the Epoch! I also loved the fourth wall breaking when the music played and he changed it to sinister music instead of the normal Epoch music x3
I have heard a theory that the Radiance was still in control and purposely doing that to release more Infection.. but I still feel like that THK most likely was struggling for control and was doing that to help,, Having "an idea instilled" was the whole reason they weren't truly Hollow, and (perhaps cut content?) Dream Nail dialogue showed that they were in fact a kind person.. the only problem being unless you embraced the Radiance's control it would drive you mad until it took over anyways.. but again, poor Myla shows that there is a transitional phase.. Sorry about arguing both sides back and forth like that, the TL;DR is that if I was told an official statement said either one I'd be just as content with their answer compared to the other one xD
I didn't know either of those facts about BotW and I consider myself a seasoned veteran, with perhaps not a very impressive seasoning since I tend to mess up on the easy parts instead of the hard parts usually.. but I found it funny they acted like Guardians were the toughest enemy in the game!! Yeah, before you're prepared one can easily one shot you but MANY people consider Gandondorf to be much easier than Lynels!
The hollow knight from Hollow Knight quite literally stabs himself after a phase or two. And it does more damage to him if you do not hit him during it. Giving you time to heal or even using the dreamnail to gain more soul.
You could've added the Bowser battle in Super Mario Bros 3. Where you have to avoid being crushed by Bowser while on a brick bridge. Each time Bowser misses you, a brick brakes. And soon, he brakes so many bricks, he ends up falling to his doom, and you're able to save the princess.
It's an absolute travesty from Professor Nakyama from Borderlands 2 isn't on this list. I mean he literally trips over himself and dies before you even get a chance to fight him.
Thinking the exact same thing. There is hurting yourself, then there is killing yourself outright. And by all legal definitions he is a boss fight. He just suffered from two left feet
Ganondorf: "Mwa-hya-hya-hyahh! I've got the Triforce of Power! And I'm flying around completely out of range of your Master Sword! Your arrows will do NOTHING against me... Say, you wanna' play tennis with my energy attack?"
Human kite from an alternate universe in South Park the fractured but whole, his wrath of kite doesn't damage you, instead he deals 999 damage to himself.
The Hollow Knight: *doesn’t cry about not being in the video because he’s supposed to have no mind to think, no will to break and no voice to cry out suffering*
Crush reminds me of the Mario party DS fight with Kamek where all you can do is cover them with ink until they cant see and spew out magic in a frenzied panic that drops books on their head
In fairness to GLaDOS, she does say at the beginning that she "can't turn off" the turret defenses. The Great Mighty Poo from Conker's Bad Fur Day might also be worth a mention. "Hey, thanks for shattering the glass that keeping me from reaching the flusher you giant pile of whatsit."
Yup. They really should have mentioned wheatley from Portal 2. He doesn't really have an excuse. while he does consider the possibility of you using a portal gun, he fails to consider the possibility of you finding a way to use it as you trick him into shooting his cannon at a pipe to release conversion gel... and then he continues firing his cannon that you can now send the shots back at him.
Guardians, when you first start playing _Breath of the Wild:_ terrifying spider-tanks. Guardians, when you've sunk a few dozen hours into _BotW:_ loot drops with legs.
reminds me of a silly video where someone was trying to defeat bosses with JUST a horse, by ONLY ramming a horse into them or using the horse's kick attack... he struggled with a guardian for a while, until someone suggested ramming it's legs, THAT beat it VERY quickly!

@@blakeirvin3011 as per usual it’s unclear, though why would the hollow knight want to fight the knight in the first place. It’s entirely possible that the only thing the hollow knight does of its own free will is stabbing itself. After all he does help the knight in dream no more
@@Alizudo Are you new here, or relatively new here? Did you see the episode of SOTWE where Luke drew a Yoshi/Toadette mashup called Yoshette? If not, go and watch it and you'll understand.
this doesn't QUITE count, but i think it's worth mentioning: the SNES game, "final fantasy 2" (one of the mis-numbered ones), an optional boss, Bahamut, who lives on the moon. a book in the "realm of summons" says he can only be beaten by "bouncing his own attack back at him". using the "wall" spell to reflect his spell IS the only effective way to handle him. beating him is a long side quest, BUT it's probably worth it to learn the "summon bahamut" spell which effectively hits ALL enemies with the "nuke" spell at once!
I don't know if this counts, but my favorite is Darth Sion from KotOR. You can keep killing him over & over & he just comes back to life. The only way to kill is to talk nice to him. His hatred (he's called The Lord of Hatred) keeps him alive & powers him. So if you talk nice to him he stops hating for a little bit & just accepts his death...
reminds me of something i read in a gaming magazine: one of the early "Dark Forces" games had an expansion pack where you play as Mara Jade, and at the end you are forced to fight Kyle Katarn, BUT it's a trick, simply put your lightsaber away, so you are empty-handed, and he will see the Light(side).
The airship fight with Dr Eggman in Sonic Mania where he literally starts destroying parts of his own ship with a laser just to kill you? I'm really surprised this wasn't already on the list
I know, right? It was up in the air when he debuted in _The Alice Comedies_ , but when they moved him to Mickey Mouse films, they officially made him a cat.
Cant believe the first dragonrider you encounter in ds2 wasmt mentioned here. It's literally wait for him to take 6 steps and then run at the last second to avoid his attack and he kills himself by falling
@@seanclegg2478 Yeah... maybe they've just been to so many E3 that they've turned American. It's always "gotten" and "ass" and whatnot. Maybe it's Gamer Network house style?

@@oliverpease6719 Robbie. Ancient shafts. Shafts drop from guardians. You got your arrows, hunt the big ones. You don't have arrows, go fight some guardians in challenge shrines. They respawn with the blood moon. One shaft = one arrow. You'll get a quiver full in no time.
In Dark Souls 3, during the first stage in the fight against the Abyss Watchers , you can get them to hit each other, starting a fight where one "clone" fights another. I mean, sure, you still have to deal with at least one of them, but it still makes it a lot easier
Not only did you spend an appropriate amount of time on the wiki, (being as you had enough time to do other stuff, like... other wikis) as it’s job-related, you got paid for doing so. You’re living the dream!
When I saw the title I assumed I'd see professor Nakayama from borderlands 2 here, the entire battle is his health bar draining as he falls down the stairs
Borderlands 2 hammerlock DLC the Dr Venture reference falls down the flight of stairs killing himself.Its impossible to lose since he doesn't make it past the cut scene.
What about Ceaseless Discharge form Dark Souls? He tries jumping over a chasm only to cling onto the cliff edge allowing you to simply knocked him off!
Gotta love a boss so determined to get you, they don't even realize that they're getting themselves. My favorite kind of boss! At least someone of them force you to do something?
**Brings up how guardians pretty much defeat themselves for you cause you deflect their attack** **Ignores character from same series who is a meme because of how he defeats himself with his own attack**
Ever heard of a game called Cold Fear? I think that was it -- the survival horror game that took place on a ship in the middle of a hurricane? Well, the final boss is completely impervious to damage... Except when he grabs you, picks you up and holds you right in front of his face. Then you can point blank him for damage.
The Hollow Knight, from....well, Hollow Knight. Sure, you have to fight him for a bit to get to that point, but seeing him turn on himself in his desperation to die is heart wrenching.
I definitely got that feeling as well, though an interesting theory I've heard is that it could have still been the Radiance releasing more Infection to attack you with.
Could have been the Radiance since one of the following attacks is spraying Infection all over the place.. but Dream Nail dialogue (I think it was cut, but you can look it up) shows that it still had regular thoughts going through its mind unlike other enemies once the Infection has taken over..
@@blakeirvin3011 true, yet i think the radiance cant take over peoples/things minds. its a dream god or something like that, i dont think they can control things.
Been a while since I've enjoyed such a great list from you guys! This was absolutely wonderful, & I hope more lists like this from you in the near future are just as great!
When I saw BOTW on the list and I was surprised to see that it was the guardians and not Master Kohga. He literally falls into a 'bottomless' hole because of his own attack
In a way also the Behemoth from Monster Hunter: World. He damages himself everytime he uses his Ecliptic Meteor attack while you and your team hide behind comets he summoned beforehand
I don't think I can ever hear the line "Go forth, Sora, Donald, and Goofy", without mentally replaying Ellen's snarky alt version. Let's hope I remember this right. The Centaur from the Hercules game: you can hit him with anything - fists, magic swords, nothing works. You had to stand in front of a tree at the edge of the screen, when he charges at you, quickly jump away. He bumps his head, dazed for a moment (I don't remember if you can hit him at this point or not). Rinse and repeat 4 or 5 times and he's dazed for a long time. Now is the moment to punch him very hard, sending him flying skyward. He then falls back down, but he's still standing. Oh, his horseshoes are coming down too, hitting him on head, and finishing the fight.
@@blakeirvin3011 yeah, just like the Guardians, but they are robots and don't really have any other methods of attack, unlike koga, who is a human, and could just instantly throw his attacks. also Guardians are just normal enemies, the closest thing they have to a boss are the shrine Guardians, and they're actually pretty tough!
Hickory Dickory Dock from Ni no kuni: Wrath of the white witch applies too. When we uses Mousefire, he usually sets himselfon fire and knocks himself down. When Al-Kemi pulls the parasol might work too.
Where was Professor Nakayama from Borderlands 2? Dude literally beats himself for you by falling down the stairs in what is the most anticlimactic boss fight in video gaming history.
Have you heard of "The Hollow Knight" from "Hollow Knight"? He literally stabs himself multiple times throughout the fight If that isn't counted as a boss beating itself for you, you must be on drugs
Professor Nakayama from Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. I'm not saying he would've totally won the fight against the Vault Hunters, but he sure made it easier by loosing his footing.
These bosses were far more helpful than they realised...! Thanks to these legends for lending a hand and swinging it into their own face!

The False Knight in Hollow Knight. They literally destroy the floor they're fighting on and plummet to their death.
and also the hollow knight
@@Ch3rr1B0mb06 Unless the Radiance WANTED to release more Infection for it's following attacks?
@@blakeirvin3011 HOLY- I will never see those stabbings the same again
@@blakeirvin3011 as per usual it’s unclear, though why would the hollow knight want to fight the knight in the first place. It’s entirely possible that the only thing the hollow knight does of its own free will is stabbing itself.
After all he does help the knight in dream no more
Rhino from Spider-Man 2...he just runs into the electric shield things
Yeah thanks to his own ramming

Did anyone else hear "I'm a normal adult man" in Luke's chuckle saying the word 'crafts'?
Time stamp?

@@ApesWithEgos It's subtle, but it's definitely there.
What the Hell are you talking about?? I'm not hearing anything remotely like that
@@Alizudo Are you new here, or relatively new here? Did you see the episode of SOTWE where Luke drew a Yoshi/Toadette mashup called Yoshette? If not, go and watch it and you'll understand.
This reminds me of the Colosas Yeti. You think you're going to have to fight him, but he takes himself out after jumping up and down a few times. 🤣
this doesn't QUITE count, but i think it's worth mentioning:
the SNES game, "final fantasy 2" (one of the mis-numbered ones), an optional boss, Bahamut, who lives on the moon.
a book in the "realm of summons" says he can only be beaten by "bouncing his own attack back at him".
using the "wall" spell to reflect his spell IS the only effective way to handle him.
beating him is a long side quest, BUT it's probably worth it to learn the "summon bahamut" spell which effectively hits ALL enemies with the "nuke" spell at once!
I don't know if this counts, but my favorite is Darth Sion from KotOR. You can keep killing him over & over & he just comes back to life. The only way to kill is to talk nice to him. His hatred (he's called The Lord of Hatred) keeps him alive & powers him. So if you talk nice to him he stops hating for a little bit & just accepts his death...
reminds me of something i read in a gaming magazine:
one of the early "Dark Forces" games had an expansion pack where you play as Mara Jade, and at the end you are forced to fight Kyle Katarn, BUT it's a trick, simply put your lightsaber away, so you are empty-handed, and he will see the Light(side).
The airship fight with Dr Eggman in Sonic Mania where he literally starts destroying parts of his own ship with a laser just to kill you? I'm really surprised this wasn't already on the list
That's because the number of likes your comment has probably exceeds the number of people who bought a copy of Sonic Mania.
that's sonic 3 and knuckles in sonic mania the flying battery isn't destroyed by the laser
@@KilosFoxo thx, my memory's dumb
@@captainhat760 it's ok i'm just glad this didn't spiral into a full on argument like some people would do when being corrected

Things I've learned today. Pete is a cat?! I always thought he was supposed to be a wolf, or at least some variety of canid.
I know, right? It was up in the air when he debuted in _The Alice Comedies_ , but when they moved him to Mickey Mouse films, they officially made him a cat.
Cant believe the first dragonrider you encounter in ds2 wasmt mentioned here. It's literally wait for him to take 6 steps and then run at the last second to avoid his attack and he kills himself by falling
Aps from ff7 hits everyone including himself with a giant tidal wave, super survivable for your party, who can heal themselves, not so much for him.
Luke, an English person, says 'ass' in the introduction, I am confused.
Luke's first list entry is _Donkey_ Kong.
Luke is brilliant and I am amused.
OH
The whole oxbox crew says ass though
Ass and arse are basically indistinguishable for me when they’re spoken in British.
@@seanclegg2478 Yeah... maybe they've just been to so many E3 that they've turned American. It's always "gotten" and "ass" and whatnot. Maybe it's Gamer Network house style?

"You're unlikely to have enough to take out every wandering Guardian in Hyrule Field" [Cackles in casually carrying around 30+ Ancient Arrows at all times]
As a person who only has had 3 guardian arrows EVER
@@oliverpease6719 Robbie. Ancient shafts. Shafts drop from guardians. You got your arrows, hunt the big ones. You don't have arrows, go fight some guardians in challenge shrines. They respawn with the blood moon. One shaft = one arrow. You'll get a quiver full in no time.
@@Tengila huh, neato. Thanks!
Arrows kill guardians, guardians drop shafts, and shafts make arrows. It's a vicious, endless cycle.
@@Tengila This is very helpful. Thank you pal.
What about the Hollow knight, "final" boss of Hollow Knight? He literally stabs himself repeatedly once you get far enough in
The further you go into the fight, the more pathetic it gets. Kinda sad, tbh.
The hollow knight isnt the final boss though but i see your point
@@creeperland3422 He's the final boss of the first two endings, I'd say it counts.
@@creeperland3422 Thats why final is in "qoutations", good sir. Also, primal aspid bad.
Primal aspids, traitors and soul twisters were pain
Pete: you ever gonna run out of uno reverse cards?
Sora: nou
In Dark Souls 3, during the first stage in the fight against the Abyss Watchers , you can get them to hit each other, starting a fight where one "clone" fights another. I mean, sure, you still have to deal with at least one of them, but it still makes it a lot easier
This is basically the list of "Why're you hitting yourself?"
Apperantly, yes...But her...She defenitly doesent go down easy...And, she doesent kill herself...
Idk there is such a thing as "too much time spent on the Disney wiki" ellen.
It's for research
To be very honest, I'm lately checking out the Adventure Time Wiki for a lot of reasons very obvious to AT fans these days.
Not only did you spend an appropriate amount of time on the wiki, (being as you had enough time to do other stuff, like... other wikis) as it’s job-related, you got paid for doing so. You’re living the dream!
@@michaelandreipalon359 I like AT but I didn't get the memo, why would you be on the wiki alot?
I was kinda expecting the Reaper from Persona 5, seeing as he kinda just gets too depressed from the flu.
When I saw the title I assumed I'd see professor Nakayama from borderlands 2 here, the entire battle is his health bar draining as he falls down the stairs
Borderlands 2 hammerlock DLC the Dr Venture reference falls down the flight of stairs killing himself.Its impossible to lose since he doesn't make it past the cut scene.
Don't forget in Breathe of the Wild there's Master Kohgal, who gets knocked out by his own bombs and spikes when Link shoots him.
I was legit surprised that they didn't mention that. Hell, he even summons a huge one that kills him with no interference from Link.
@@avereynakama9854 I about forgot you didn't have to do anything for the last one!!
What about Ceaseless Discharge form Dark Souls? He tries jumping over a chasm only to cling onto the cliff edge allowing you to simply knocked him off!
The real benefit to this is making the oxtra crew say the words "ceaseless discharge"
My uncle had a ceaseless discharge... It wasn't great.
@@brandonp7503 Unless your uncle died, he is having a ceaseless discharge and it isn't great. Seeing as the whole point is that it doesn't cease.
Iron Golem and Taurus Demon both also like jumping off cliffs too! though those definitely require more positioning than CD does
@@felixc543 I didnt know ceaseless discharge could jump
Gotta love a boss so determined to get you, they don't even realize that they're getting themselves. My favorite kind of boss! At least someone of them force you to do something?
**Brings up how guardians pretty much defeat themselves for you cause you deflect their attack**
**Ignores character from same series who is a meme because of how he defeats himself with his own attack**
Who tho?
@@pogggaming4470 Ganondorf with his tennis attack.
Master kohgat too, who is from the same game as the guardians
Ever heard of a game called Cold Fear? I think that was it -- the survival horror game that took place on a ship in the middle of a hurricane? Well, the final boss is completely impervious to damage... Except when he grabs you, picks you up and holds you right in front of his face. Then you can point blank him for damage.
The Hollow Knight, from....well, Hollow Knight. Sure, you have to fight him for a bit to get to that point, but seeing him turn on himself in his desperation to die is heart wrenching.
I definitely got that feeling as well, though an interesting theory I've heard is that it could have still been the Radiance releasing more Infection to attack you with.
true.
Hollow Knight from Hollow Knight? Not only is it the saddest boss fight ever but he literally starts stabbing him self mid fight!!!
Could have been the Radiance since one of the following attacks is spraying Infection all over the place.. but Dream Nail dialogue (I think it was cut, but you can look it up) shows that it still had regular thoughts going through its mind unlike other enemies once the Infection has taken over..
Exactly your like I'm ready for a hard boss fight with many phases the dude is easy his attacks are pretty slow
Tho it does survive in some endings
@@blakeirvin3011 true, yet i think the radiance cant take over peoples/things minds. its a dream god or something like that, i dont think they can control things.
Been a while since I've enjoyed such a great list from you guys! This was absolutely wonderful, & I hope more lists like this from you in the near future are just as great!
The duel at the Kashine onsen from ghosts of Tsushima the boss literally surrenders at the exact second the duel starts
When I saw BOTW on the list and I was surprised to see that it was the guardians and not Master Kohga. He literally falls into a 'bottomless' hole because of his own attack
In a way also the Behemoth from Monster Hunter: World. He damages himself everytime he uses his Ecliptic Meteor attack while you and your team hide behind comets he summoned beforehand
Yes
I'm surprised Prof. Nakayama isn't here he literally trips and falls down some stairs and dies.
I don't think I can ever hear the line "Go forth, Sora, Donald, and Goofy", without mentally replaying Ellen's snarky alt version.
Let's hope I remember this right.
The Centaur from the Hercules game: you can hit him with anything - fists, magic swords, nothing works. You had to stand in front of a tree at the edge of the screen, when he charges at you, quickly jump away. He bumps his head, dazed for a moment (I don't remember if you can hit him at this point or not). Rinse and repeat 4 or 5 times and he's dazed for a long time. Now is the moment to punch him very hard, sending him flying skyward. He then falls back down, but he's still standing. Oh, his horseshoes are coming down too, hitting him on head, and finishing the fight.
I think master kohga deserves a special mention here because kohga can only be defeated by his own attacks
bro gave "right back at ya, buddy!" a whole new meaning
8:34 I love how bowser jr looks back at the missile.
That History Channel stinger might just be the very best joke on the internet. Marvellous.
Dr Nakayama, Borderlands 2 Hammerlock DLC. Just falls down the stairs and dies
11:22 I thought it would be master kohga! He literally crushes himself with a giant metal ball!
Welllll technically you do, but only because he ENABLES you to! And doesn't learn from it!
@@blakeirvin3011 yeah, just like the Guardians, but they are robots and don't really have any other methods of attack, unlike koga, who is a human, and could just instantly throw his attacks. also Guardians are just normal enemies, the closest thing they have to a boss are the shrine Guardians, and they're actually pretty tough!
Honorable mention: Most of the 2-D Super Mario games, where the enemies literally just waddle their way into bottomless pits like Disney lemmings.
Was anyone expecting Master Kohga when they saw Breath of the Wild on the list?
Yes, he NEEDS to be on the list. He was fun!
Nope. No one was expecting that. Not even all the other people who said it. You're the only one.
These bosses are the best, I don't have to defeat you, for you were already doomed from the start.
Evil always loses because it sows the seeds of it's own destruction.
All video game bosses are doomed from the start. They're designed for you to beat.
"FOOLISH MORTAL, I KNOW NOT WHAT I DO!!!" Uhh, didn't you mea-"I KNOW WHAT I SAID!!"
I feel like Ellen ragging on Pete's battle tactics (or lack thereof) were actually things she said while fighting him
Hickory Dickory Dock from Ni no kuni: Wrath of the white witch applies too. When we uses Mousefire, he usually sets himselfon fire and knocks himself down.
When Al-Kemi pulls the parasol might work too.
Say what you want, but I personally find the way that Crush takes damage insanely clever!
Where was Professor Nakayama from Borderlands 2? Dude literally beats himself for you by falling down the stairs in what is the most anticlimactic boss fight in video gaming history.
Arkham Origins Electrocutioner would have a word with you.
@@michaelandreipalon359 most definitely XD he doesn't even try to hit you he just yaps. At least The Doctor tries before he trips.
@@medusathedecepticon True, true.
Have you heard of "The Hollow Knight" from "Hollow Knight"?
He literally stabs himself multiple times throughout the fight
If that isn't counted as a boss beating itself for you, you must be on drugs
It's POSSIBLE it was the Radiance releasing more Infection for the following attacks.
Everyone is commenting that
It’s also possible that the radiance was attacking the knight in the fight and the hollow knight was attacking itself
it sadly didn't do much
When the section on Meatboy is interrupted by a burger ad.... 🙄
Oh. I see now.
"You're unlikely to have enough Ancient Arrows to take out every guardian in Hyrule Field."
...
Me, who has 400 of them: Yeah, about that...
There is a game called borderlands that has a doc that has a boss that trips and breaks every bone in his body by falling
Sonic CD has robotnik blow himself up while you just get a nice little jog on the treadmill
Borderlands 2 dlc boss Professor Nakamura. Dude literally takes himself out in the first 5 seconds
Professor nakayama in borderlands 2 litterally fell down the stairs and broke his neck on his way to fight you
Professor Nakayama from Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt. I'm not saying he would've totally won the fight against the Vault Hunters, but he sure made it easier by loosing his footing.
Nakayama from the borderlands 2 big game dlc? He falls down the stairs and breaks his neck before the fight even starts
