7 Pathetic Bosses Who Wouldn't Stop Running Away, the Cowards

bosses are like spiders they're more scared of you than you are of them spider oh wait no that's it's just a bit of lint okay not every boss is scared of you but certain bosses will when faced with a standup fight instead choose to run away from you as fast as their legs or Wings can carry them so instead of a rip roaring boss fight you spend the majority of the fight careening after them trying to get a single hit as they flee from you like cats from a cucumber see for yourself the Cowardly bosses that wouldn't stop running away from you slippery [Music] [Applause] [Music] little Gary why'd you do it Gary why not I won I tricked everyone starting with you the head the loser kids in town and the prefects me I won you are sad man the best thing to do with bullies is to stand up to them because that makes it much easier for them to throw a brick at you using you as a pawn was so wonderfully obvious final boss Gary there the unassumingly named Arch antagonist of Rockstar's bully a final boss who is as punchable as he is impossible to punch on account of how he constantly hoofs it James I've been waiting let the games [Music] begin the fight against Gary kicks off after he instigates a fullscale riot at the bullworth Academy school that you attend your first task is to hunt down and battle the various clicks that Gary has incited to Mindless violence like these powerful nerds who won't go down without a fight because they're oh they're down and without a fight turns out the battle against headboy Gary sees you weaponless however and confronting Gary on scaffolding at the top of the school or trying to except he keeps running away the miserable coward pausing only to for instance tip a wheelbarrow of breeze blocks onto you Gary vanishes up a series of ladders hiding behind piles of bricks and generally embarrassing himself instead of fighting Fair get back here you'll never catch me HS thankfully after a whole lot of cowardly fleeing Gary has nowhere left to go except onto the floor when you punch him onto it and then stamp on his testicles and then punch his face and body and testicles until you both Plum it through a plate glass ceiling okay to be completely fair I can now see why he was running away what do you want he's in the harbor at the long pier most likely we heard what happened at the parade Charles God nervous said he was leaving the country I thought it was overreacting it's not no thank you despite their focus on stealthy assassinations many of the old Assassin's Creed games did end in a boss fight alier fought his actual boss Etso 1 V1 multiple boures and in Assassin's Creed 3 there's one dude Connor really wants to stab up with his hidden blade what was his name again Charles Lee any word on Lee Charles Lee you favor Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee where is Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee where are you Charles give me Lee you know what I think it might be Charles Lee so at the end of the game it's deeply frustrating when you finally catch up to Charles Lee only for him to immediately start fleeing you like a turbocharged Road Runner cue one of the most infuriating Chase sequences in all of Assassin's Creed a series that may we remind you has plenty of infuriating Chase sequences anyone wanting full synchronization has to keep within 50 m of the fleeing Charles Lee while avoiding shoving anyone on this busy stretch of Harbor and not getting hurt by the flames in the burning boat Charles Lee Retreats into which would be plenty tricky enough even without the Myriad other issues that make this one of the most annoying boss chases of all time even running at full Pelt Charles Lee just constantly runs faster than you quickly pulling away even though young assassin Connor would surely be a lot faster than a man whose main job for the last 10 years has been standing around looking evil in a uniform another problem is the inconvenient randomness of the game the firing squads who try to stop you for instance sometimes spawn in the entirely wrong place blocking your path and completely up your run when you finally do reach the boat it collapses around you as the fire spreads stopping your flow and creating a deadly Labyrinth that is easier to get lost in than an Ikea on a [Music] Sunday and heck even if you do know where you're going sometimes gang doesn't and Connor can miss a simple jump fall and get stuck in an inescapable pit of burning [Music] boat I'm having fun if by Fun you mean stress headache still when you finally finish the chase you do catch up to Charles Lee and Connor shoots Charles Lee in a cut scene yet you fight you resist why because no one else will well at least he's dead forever oh no actually he's not dead and he's running off again classic himym Connor what was his name again Charles Lee any word on Lee Charles Lee you favor Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee where is Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee Charles Lee where are you Charles give me Lee never give up press your in you wouldn't think a giant robot made of rocks would be scared of anything except perhaps weathering we've got no explanation then for why the golc boss in Star Fox 64 is such a certified wuss they're everywhere encountered on the game's final level right before the game's final boss this lump and robot lives inside a vast imposing Temple je the we what is that that Temple gives me the creep as the music goes all musicy the stage is set for an ancient evil to make itself known so it's a bit weird when the golc appears then immediately legs it what's going on he's running away when your cowardice surprises even s the toad it's time to make a change why the golc doesn't simply turn around and slam Fox mccloud's flimsy awing into the rock wall with its gigantic fists is unclear but we have to assume it's rooted in simply being totally spineless Instead This boss prefers to Sprint away from you at maximum speed flinging vertical and horizontal pillars into your path that you have to Dodge in between blasting chunks out of its retreating form keep it up and you'll discover hey the Golem EG has a spine after all it was right under all of that rock you just shot it's not a great feeling to gun down a boss as it's retreating but any guilt will evaporate once you've died to those extremely annoying pillars a few times oh well at least slippy's distraught that's something look who it is katos the ghost of spar the Fallen God the cursed mortal to catch a fly from the ass of Zeus is not worth my time heres a coward's words katos you don't try to catch me because you know you can't katos where are you off to today nowadays we're familiar with Dad katos who loves his son and only kills other gods if he really has to must be better than honestly he really had to but back in the original trilogy katos was ticking Gods off his Hit List faster than a top 40 countdown and with a lot more blood one God he squares up to in God of War 3 is Hermes widely known as the Greek god of swiftness but also in the UK is a delivery company so terrible that they had to change their name to every because they were so unswipe box zero stars but God of War 3's Hermes actually lives up to his name when upon being confronted he Sprints off as fast as his little winged boots can carry him which is fair enough considering what happens to any other God who gets within range of katos consumed by Vengeance to his last breath the Spartan lights the way to Dusty death and he does drag katos on a wild good Chase sometimes stopping completely just to taunt him close Spartan but you'll have have to try harder but the whole time katto silently pursues him until eventually Hermes lands on a statue of Athena for one last taunt keep up katos at which point katos catapults himself towards Hermes at top of Boulder smashing the statue and injuring Hermes enough that he can't get away making this an immediate lesson on the dangers of hubris I will not be Ved by a mortal maybe you should have just legged it hey Hermes and speaking of legging it katos likes hermes's boots of speed so much that he cuts his legs off YouTube won't let us show you that so here's an artist's impression [Music] instead Zelda fans will tell you that Twilight Princess is a more mature entry in the Zelda series darker in tone with considerably less Whimsical nonsense than you might find in other Zelda games and those Zelda fans are correct in their assessment right up until the end when evil Lord Ganondorf enters his third phase and turns what should have been a serious final boss fight downright [Music] silly even sillier than lightning tennis against a possessed Zelda and even sillier than arm wrestling a giant [Music] boar now we're talking about the bit after that when Ganondorf just chees is it this mounted battle takes place in Hyrule Field with Ganondorf riding his fearsome charger in the opposite direction as fast as possible despite being we're told a terrifying Warrior who broke free of the Twilight realm to effortlessly conquer Hyrule ganondorf's only tactic here is to zigzag away from you as fast as he can while spamming spells over his shoulder like this is a game of playground tag rather than a climactic battle of good versus evil the problems for Ganondorf here are twofold first he's not that fast so it's no challenge really to get Zelda within Arrow range to soften him up for a flack with the master sword and secondly his cowardly behavior is accidentally quite funny things do eventually get more serious again or a bit more serious once Ganondorf realizes running won't work and fights you one-on-one a scenario that ends moments later with link plunging the master sword through his ribs and links like dude and Zelda's like whoo and ganondorf's like no laughing this is a very serious Zelda game please respect [Music] it judging by how she went from being a practicing doctor to the neglected girlfriend of an actual clown harleen quinzel is accustomed to taking steps backwards in life but never has she taken more steps backwards in her life than this boss fight in Lego Batman playing the level little fun at the big top as Batman you eventually face Harley Quinn in a casino themed Arena and being The Dark Knight you're there to incapacitate the queen of clownery which is easier said than done when you immediately get clowned on by Harley flipping out of the way ah yes Batman's one weakness back flips Harley's gymnastic abilities really pay off you can't get a single hit on her as she Springs constantly Out Of Reach and if you try to get in front of her she just immediately changes direction making it utterly impossible to catch her oh my God Robin stop following me and try to cut her off she's so fast and agile that the only way you can finally get her is by waiting until she gets too dizzy from the constant rotations and has to stop finally and you only have to do that six more times is this the best use of your time Dr quinzel now to be clear dark swindlin in Dark Souls never actually runs away because he's too much of a magic wanker for that but you'd be hard pressed to find a boss in Dark Souls or indeed all of video games whose fighting style is more cowardly or involves more moving quickly away from the player not using his legs in this case but teleportation spells found in a concealed part of the imposing city of an Orondo gindin is fought in a seemingly endless Corridor he has very few moves at his disposal which is great but less great is that one of those moves is to vanish farther down the infinite Corridor if you ever get close and another move is to Nuke you from enormous distance with a killing [Music] Ray seems fair as such fighting gwindel involves scampering cautiously along the corridor doing your level best to evade his magic and arrows until eventually you get close to him and then hoping you're quick enough to get even one hit in before he portals away like Doctor Strange in a night gown then do that again and again and again until either the Cowardly gwindel and's health is finally chipped away to nothing and the boss fight finally ends or you remember that this is an optional boss and that actually Dark Souls is an optional game and give it up in favor of a less infuriating challenge like seeing how many goes it takes to frisbee your Dark Souls disc into the bin oh missed again man I suck at this get good scrub little behind the scenes for you Luke actually Drew this with his own Fair hand um apparently at school he was known for being the best at doing the blood so told you that in confidence now you know something new about Luke and in return favor for a favor would you watch this video from outside extra for me and then would you kindly watch this video from outside Xbox for me also I would I would love it very much what's he happy about I mean actually yeah it's obvious the leg cutting isn't it yeah
