Top 7 Easiest BOSS Battles in the History of video Games

The sole intention for the inclusion of boss battles in almost every single video game is to provide that final bit of intense effort leaving us totally satisfied at the end of the day or even save a damsel in distress from the clutches of an evil mastermind.

But what if the final boss were to be easier to defeat compared to the miniature foes you have fought throughout the whole length of the game. Will it leave a Black hole in your imaginative mind that was surprised by a totally unexpected underwhelming boss fight?
These are quite possibly the Top 7 Easiest Boss battles ever.

Flash Man boss battle in MEGAMAN 2 was a cakewalk with the Metal Blades.
Just aim them in a straight line or in random directions over and over again and defeat Flash man without even taking a single step.

Sharodan4406d ago

Hah! The entire game was made into a cakewalk by Metal Blades! Certainly threw me for a loop when the final boss was only susceptible to one of the lamest powers though. Bubble Lead, really?!

young juice4406d ago

king allant from demons souls deserves a spot. i feel like fromsoft intentionally made him extremely easy to say "hey, you made it this far? nice" then hands you an easy boss on a stick

rdgneoz34406d ago

Old King Allant was easy only if you did the cheap way of killing him (thief ring + poison cloud / bow was always easy). But then half the bosses you could kill in a cheap way without too much effort (most being ranged bow attacks or drop poison / disease and run and hide + refresh it as it runs out).

BiggCMan4406d ago

@rdgneoz3: Old King Allan (or "the old one") is what he means, the FINAL boss of the game, the little blue blob. The boss you're thinking of is the FALSE King Allant, the corrupted one.

Kalowest4406d ago

R.I.P to gamings greatest boss
His name was Marauder Shields.

dark-hollow4406d ago

Metal blades made everything easy actualyy.

And why a seven games list is spread into THREE pages?

DFogz4406d ago

That site is solely trying to generate hits. They constantly make stupid lists of whatever they can think of.
Just yesterday I saw a 5 item list spread over three pages from them, complete with giant in-your-face ads, pop-ups, and annoying audio.

BldyShdw4406d ago

Can't stand the ads on this site. Agree about MegaMan.

One of my surprisingly easiest boss fights in recent memory was the Four Kings in Dark Souls. I was freaking out in the beginning but didn't even get hurt that much...wimps

synchroscheme4406d ago

Agreed. The site is awful.
Here's the short version for those who want to avoid this ad-filled mess.

Number 7) FLASH-MAN – MEGAMAN 2 Platform - NES
Number 6) ELIXIS SINCLARE – SIN Platform - PC
Number 5) The WARRIOR: Final confrontation – PRINCE OF PERSIA Platform - PS3, Xbox 360, PC
Number 4) BOB The Goldfish – EARTHWORM JIM Platform - SNES, GBA, PC, XBLA, PSN
Number 3) Dr EGGMAN – SONIC THE HEDGEHOG Platform - SNES, GBA, PC, XBLA, PSN
Number 2) LUCIEN FAIRFAX – FABLE II Platform - Xbox 360
Number 1) MEHRUNES DAGON – The Elder Scrolls IV: OBLIVION Platform - PC, PS3, Xbox 360

@BldyShdw Funnily enough, the Four Kings is one of the few bosses that really gave me a lot of trouble my first time around. I just couldn't wrap my head around him. Given the right equipment though, he's a breeze. :)

krazeecain4406d ago

@synchroscheme I don't think Oblivion really counts, simply because of how the game was built. If you happened to make a really good character and get all the good weapons, all the enemies are easy. But if you played through the game a little more casually, I'd imagine the boss battles would be a bit harder.

EmperorDalek4406d ago

Beat them on NG+++, then come back and tell me they're easy.

mynameisEvil4406d ago

Man, speaking of NES games, I can think of two boss battles in one game that makes Mehrunes Dagon look like the hardest boss ever.

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

Boss #1: Death/Grim Reaper (pick a name). I remember going all the way to the end of the game and just walking past him. I walked across the damn room and skipped him altogether.

Boss #2: Dracula. Well, at least this one you 'fight'. Though, as James Rolfe pointed out, all you had to do is just keep him pinned down with the sacred flame (or the golden knife) until he dies.

So, actually, Death himself is the easiest boss in gaming history...

Dammit, haven't completed Oblivion, now know how it ends.

myps44406d ago

That's bound to happen mate. Spoilers are quite obvious when end bosses are concerned.

I was spoiled the death of Aerith even before completing Final Fantasy VII. Spoilers totally kill the will to play that particular game.
Oblivion'S boss was underwhelming.

BldyShdw4406d ago

Yeah it sucks being relatively young (21) since I didn't start "gaming" until I was 17 and I have a HUGE backlog of ps1-2 era games that unfortunately have been spoiled for me since everyone assumes since it's old it must have been played. I hold no hard feelings though since it's my fault I never tried games when I was really young.

MASTER_RAIDEN4406d ago

Yeah, thanks a lot everyone. just got fable 2 back from a friend a few days ago. i know what i WONT be popping into my xbox anytime soon..

snipes1014405d ago

Well after about a year or two you can't really keep putting spoiler warnings on everything haha

Relientk774406d ago

Does Bob the Goldfish from Earthworm Jim actually count as a boss fight? lol. You literally do nothing, and you win.

TheFirstClassic4406d ago

Anyone think the last boss in RE4 was horribly easy and repetitive? I was kinda disapointed by it.

geniusgamerdoc4406d ago

Yep. Now that you mention it. But not as silly as the Fable 2 end boss.

Are_The_MaDNess4406d ago (Edited 4406d ago )

Mehrunes Dragon?

lols XD

where is this so called dragon?
the only dragon is Akatosh, The Dragon God of Time
and of course every dragon in next game

his name is Mehrunes Dagon

GamePodunk4406d ago

Definitely agree on Mehrunes Dagon. It's just like running past Bowser in order to beat him in Super Mario Bros, haha.

Virtuos Working On A Multiplatform UE5 Remake, Rumored To Be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Virtuos is currently working on a multiplatform Unreal Engine 5 remake, which is rumored to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot2d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator2d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin2d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai2d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0072d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer1d 17h ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

kaos892d ago

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer1d 17h ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.

The 7 Best Sega CD Games and How to Play Them Today

The Sega CD (aka Mega CD) had some classics that still live on today. Here's the 7 best Sega CD games & how to play them on modern consoles.

banger8850d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Series X/S + Dev Mode. It's a shame the retail mode emulators got removed, dev mode looks like a pain in the ass.

Neonridr50d ago

I use the Analogue Mega SG console coupled with a Mega SD everdrive that allows me to play Sega CD games through the cartridge without the need for the CD add-on. Have the 8-bitdo Sega Genesis 6 button wireless controller and it's the closest thing I can get to playing it as it was originally without owning old hardware.

Number1TailzFan50d ago

Final Fight was a great game on the CD, not only on the system but as a fighting game of the time as well. Up there in some ways with Streets of Rage 2 IMO. It's too bad they didn't continue putting the rest of them on there, the music is top notch too.

kevco3350d ago

I bought FF CD as a young teen after having loved the arcade/SNES version (despite the latter being watered down). Loved how immaculate a port it was.

TheBrainZ50d ago

Earthworm Jim is a classic, still have the original somewhere.

OtterX50d ago

There is some wrong information in this article. I just checked for Sonic CD and Shining Force CD on Nintendo Switch eShop (as stated in the article) across 4 different regions, and they are not available.

FinalFantasyFanatic50d ago

I know it's on Steam, but I don't recall seeing either of those games on Switch Eshop, I'm curios as to what region he found them on.

OtterX50d ago

Yea, I checked US, UK, JP and Portugal (my region), not on any of those.

I'd want these handheld, so hopefully I can get a Steam Deck by the end of the year 🙏

ZeekQuattro49d ago

Sega teased big things coming to the Sega Ages line of games but tapped out after about a year. I can't find any evidence that it was added to the Switch. The author must of mistaken it for the Shining Force 1 but even then that's part of the Sega Genesis collection not Ages.

Chocoburger48d ago

Sonic CD is in the Sonic Origins Collection, that's what he meant.

As for Shining Force CD, I don't know if its on the eshop, but it seems unlikely.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Well I'm really happy you responded with this!

I must have completely missed or forgotten about Sonic Origins. I was just looking at it, and it has the Game Gear titles too on the Plus version! (I had a Game Gear back in the day) Man, especially in handheld, that should be great. I just wishlisted it and will pick it up on the next sale.

Thanks a ton!

Chocoburger48d ago

Glad to have reminded you, but I do recommend checking out reviews on Sonic Origins Collection, while I own it (because I wanted the Japanese exclusive swag that comes with the Deluxe Pack), a lot of people are disappointed by it, and the Game Gear emulation, so some video reviews should help.

A lot of people complained that Sega should have emulated the superior Master System versions of the game, since they run at a higher resolution than the Game Gear ports.

They should release these as is for $100.
