Renegade 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 Besides the whole "boss changes into a million different forms" type of boss the boss that has most recently taken me the longest period of time has been the boss of clock tower 3. About 23 minutes of ducking shooting and running like crazy. And every time I got him on his last sliver of energy he would trap me and do that groping energy sucking move, which would add another three minutes to the battle.

Jer 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 That stupid Omega Weapon in FF8. It wasn't hard if you used Holy Wars, but it still took me 45 minutes to poke it to death with Comet 2. Eden would have taken even longer, stupid two and a half minute long animation. And your reward: Certificate of Omega~! Woot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2004 The boss in Sengoku 3, yeah, was the hardest I've ever seen but also the longest on top of that. It's not just that it took a long time cause he was hard, because I eventually said fuck it and used an infinite energy code (it was a neo geo emu I was playing this on), and it still took forever, and there were two people playing. It was fucked up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Took me a good amount of time to beat Smithy in MArio RPG. At least 20-25 minutes. This was back when the game first came out, so I was a lot worse at games.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2004 Zeromus took a long time for me to beat, because inevitably I'd lose Edge in there and be short-handed. But the rotation of Bahamut-Attack-Cure 4-Jump was usually enough to get my by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Report post Posted January 4, 2004 Skies of Arcadia Legends : Black Pirate Vigoro was extremely hard to fight and it was the longest battle I've ever been in with any game. Took 6 Prophecies to finish him off, which involved defending and trying to get more energy while the most important character in each turn was being 5/8-dead if they previously had full HP.

Guest Skironox Report post Posted January 4, 2004 Indalecio limiter off from Star Ocean 2 took about 4 hours for me to figure out. About every 30 seconds you'd have to cure your party, every 15 seconds in between he'd cast a spell which took a minute to animate. The rest of those seconds you'd have to chase him around the screen, of course he was a zillion times faster than you, and he had a gajillion hit points. What fun.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2004 Rock candy was your friend, I played the game about a year ago and absolutely trashed him b/c I had a ton of it. Heheh, I discovered that when I fought him originally myself. Also to clear up a common rumor, Culex has not been in any Final Fantasy game. It's likely that he was a planned boss that didn't make it into FFIV, but that's it. Back on topic--Zophar in Lunar 2 comes to mind. First you fight him in a straight up slugout, then you fight a second form where you basically wait for Lucia to finish her monologue, then you're restored to full power and fight that form again, then you fight him one more time in a battle that you pretty much can't lose. Not terribly hard if you have MP restoring items (if not, you're screwed), but looong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
