We we all know that there is a cliche in almost all RPG games, that there is always a boss that you don't have to beat, but you can if you want to, and is alwasy insanely harder than the final boss, so I was wondering what side-quest boss you thought was hardest.

Lapis from Legend Of Legaia was definetly the hardest for me. The final boss could be beaten at about level 40, but Lapis shouldn't even be considered untill atleast level 75, and even then it will be a fight to remember. I couldn't beat him untill all three of my characters were over level 80.

The weapons, in the FF series are alwasy intense. I think Emerald weapon had like somewhere around 1 million HP in FF7.

Omega in FF8 was preatty hard when I first tried to beat him.

The ultimate:

Abyssion- Tales of Symphonia

he was a twat.

an utter twat on mania.

i found Farah and friends harder though, just because they gang rape you

no Holy Wars of course. that would be cheating

[Caael]

I never actually fought Farah and co. though so I cant really judge :|

[Nosferatu]

Not Bonetail from Paper Mario: TTYD. Easy.

Although I guess he could be counted as hard as it takes so friggin' long to get to him and the the battles just get harder the closer you get. The 99th floor is harder then him.

And I was bloody level 37. That's friggin hard to do. He gave me 10 star points. What a ****.

[Aquamarine]

You may think this funny but: Dullahan.

[Folcon]

I won't make fun of you, he is hard. Hard as hell. But the exp you get for beating him, and the summon, make beating the final boss easier.

[Aquamarine]

Doom Dragon was easy. And yeah, Dullahan is very difficult, but it seems I'm the only one here who hasn't bothered to level up so much so I could defeat him...

[Moonear]

Dullahan I beat without losing a single person, he was really easy for me. Star Magician gave me a hard time. The stupid little attack balls keep on coming back.D=

It could be just the way I play, but I never had to level grind to beat any boss, including Dullahan. Usually just travelling the land to get to the next story-proggressing area would give me enough exp.

[Drizzy Drake]

When I first played GS I didn't realise how non-linear it was(nl in the way that it doesn't exactly tell you where to go), so I was alwasy well enough level'd up to fight all the bosses.

[Eugine]

IHK, on your first try? If yes, you pwn!
I think I beated Dullahan on my 3rd, 4th try. That was long ago though, so I can't remember >>.

[Drizzy Drake]

I think I beat him on my 2nd try. On my frist I saw what I was doing wrong, thne jsut let him have it on my second. Also on my first try I think I had no Djini's on standby so I had no summons ready.

[Laharl]

Dullahan is very hard when you dont summon rush him., and very easy when you do.

[Moonear]

Yeah, I beta Dullahan the first time. But Doom Dragon actually took me a while. Stupid Cruel Ruin :P

[Drizzy Drake]

Doom Dragon was easy for me after haveing lvl'd up alot for Dullahan.

[Eugine]

haha. Dullahan, Deathbead (??) and Star Magician were the only bosses I didn't beat on my first try.

[Drizzy Drake]

Deathbed is the "main" side-quest boss in GS1 right. Ya that makes no sense but hey, it works. Ya I disliked him.

[kate]

Deathbeard was actually hard. Dullahan was easy cuz you just summon like crazy at him and then he dies. seriously, my goal one day is to be able to beat him without any summoning. Dare to dream kate, dare to dream.

They have a weird thing with boss' names starting with D...

[Drizzy Drake]

Without summoning. Ha. Maybe after some Hits From The Bong. That might be hard though. Better Lvl up like crazy.

[Laharl]

i beat him without sumon rushing ^____^

he was bloody hard, hence him being on my list, as a geberal rule i dont use the cheaty solution to beat bosses (Holy War trick on Omega Weapon and throwing Phoenix Downs at undead bosses as it just removes the chsllenge)

I will track down and kill everyone who used Zanmato to kill some of the Dark Aeons in Final Fantasy X

[Drizzy Drake]

Ha. FFX was simple as f**k. No boss gave me a challenge.

Yeah, I think I was about at that level when I tried to beat him. I still haven't beaten him yet, but I still haven't gotten past level 37ish. Haven't played in a while too.

I beat Dullahan without useing anything but regualr attacks, but I cheated. GS transfer code generator FTW. Might try and beat him the fair way someday. Maybe.

The serpent guy from FFIII was a pain in the arse. He's an awesome summon though.

Once I beat Contact, I'll have another to add to my very short list.

But may I ask what a Holy War is in FF?

[Lightning Star]

Dullahan was a beeotch. I honestly want to go back and play GS again to beat him.

Ah yes, and another one that you're going to be like "WTF, you played that game?!"at, is Forte in Megaman Battle Network 4 where you have to get every single chip in your library filled in before you can even battle him. But I will do it someday!

Together, Kate, we'll be dreamers! :P

[Drizzy Drake]

WTF. You played that game. Sheesh. But really, the MMBN games kinda got boring after the first one, maybe the second.

Aha! Someone else who played this game. The brown cow is hard as anything. I don't think it's possible to beat him without cheating. The other elemental gods aren't as tough, but they're still crazy difficult.

The level 50 bosses in Lunar Knights are kinda hard after the first two...I don't want to know what level 100 is like.

I cheated and summon rushed the hell out of Dullahan. Deadbeard was hard, though. Still have no idea how I beat him my first time around...

[Drizzy Drake]

Lady Luck?

One of the crazy hacked creatures in .Hack Infection. You have to fight him just with Kite, and when I first fought him, my Kite had almost no healing spells. He ****ed my **** up.

I've barely gotten far in Contact at all, mostly because I've been playing SMG and Brain Age 2 (occasionally). But I've either beaten, or am in the process of beating the rock guy in the first real dungeon. It's the second reactor core thingy. I'm going to start playing it again though. It's a great game, and I'm very glad I bought it.

Deadbeard was hard. Period. And after all that, you only get the demon mail, which sucks because it drops your Jupiter resistance.

an item in final fantasy VIII that makes your party invincible for around 3-5 turns, the cheeseness raps even Omega Weapon

[Drizzy Drake]

In America they like to call it the Chuck Norris item.

[Ironsight]

Sentinle was easy. So was Valkular. Star Magician wasn't hard, he just took forever to beat. Duhllahan was horrible though. I fought him in my high thirties, and died many times doing it. I beat him eventually though. Iris=WIN

Sentinal and Valukar. :(

Sentinal was a pain for me. Valukar was pretty hard, and Star Magician took forever for me too. And high thirties is WAY under level for Dullahan (unless you *coughcheatedcough*), so no wonder it was hard.

[Ironsight]

I didn't cheat. I'm just awesome like that :(

~800~

Fighting Dullahan in the thirties is underleveled?

Why do I always find out I'm too underleveled to fight a boss, but I still beat it anyway?

[Laharl]

yar

50-70 is a healthy level to fight him at

[Caael]

Isnt it annoying while fighting Dullahan to know that if you had Iris, it would be a lot easier to beat him.

[Drizzy Drake]

Isn't that basically what every SideQuest boss is like.

[Laharl]

not necessarily, lots of fun sidebosses give you ****-all for beating, *glares at Eleria Queen*

[Drizzy Drake]

True dat. Sometimes it's just the satisfaction, plus the fact that by the time you are done lvl'ing up to beat the SQ boss, you should be high enough lvl'd to beat the final boss.

[Toasty]

No, you'll be over-qualified to beat the final boss, and he'll be a wuss. <_<

But Deadbeard was like what Laharl said. All you get for beating him is the Demon Mail.

[Ironsight]

Deadbeard was buzzkill. He wasn't even that hard to kill.

[Drizzy Drake]

But then there's Dullahan...
