Re: Top 20 most terrifying game bosses, blind edition
For me the satellite on world of war at normal difficulty or higher is pretty intense!
And the end boss and final level sub boss on the gate both have sound design that is genuinely kinda scary when they attack, plus the voice actor for Hades is just very good at sounding sinister.
Allot of the bosses in Entombed, and even some of the quests are quite nerve wracking especially if you don't have allot of buffed equipment or one or more of your team members can't take allot of damage. Often times you're desperately trying to get debuff spells and knockdowns or grapples to stick, and hoping that your highest damaging characters don't miss their strikes, all the while knowing that some powerful area effect skill or spell, or something which might do extreme damage to a weaker member is coming at any time now.
The Drake, mirror gallery, and Alisa are particularly harsh, and if you didn't end up with a good team and choose your skills well or find the right equipment in time, you might be screwed then and there, especially if you play without save scumming.
In AHC, I find the final boss and Alexander Alcano in particular give me that feeling of hopelessness. Not only do they have shadow barrier, but they can also raise your undead companions to use against you, and the final boss uses your HP to revive him self every new respawn. It just feels like it's never going to end, especially if you are playing on hard difficulty and challenging those two on a lower level.
The sacred stone fight is also pretty scary if you don't cheat it and if the AI makes any sort of smart moves. Using your own planning against you is a great mindfuck.
The X1 fight in Superliam is timeless and for me at least, pretty easy to beat by now. But the constant need to keep moving and the fact that you could fall in a pit at any moment still keeps me on edge today. It lasts a while too, because you can only hit him once per try, so you are forced to play how the game wants you to.
In Q9, while the boss says funny things sometimes, the difficulty of conserving ammo and shields on normal or higher difficulty, those pits in the middle, and how pissed off he sounds just stress me the heck out LOL.
