7 Suspiciously Easy Boss Fights That Weren’t What They Seemed

bosses in video games can be identified by a number of telltale signs having a cutscene to introduce themselves is one having their own theme music is another [Music] and if it's a from software game having their own health bar with a name like the xylophonic bone colossus or oseros the consumed king is a dead giveaway you were born a child of dragons what could you actually see oh no way that really is one i was just making that up anyway another telltale sign of a video game boss is that they're significantly harder than regular enemies which is why you might be suspicious if you encounter a boss and find them to be much easier than you were expecting well keep your wits about you as it might be that that easy boss was just a ploy a scheme a ruse designed to trick you into something much deadlier see for yourself with these seven suspiciously easy boss fights that weren't what they seemed enjoy about spoilers ahead for the following games [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i'm going underground oh way to go teenage mutant ninja turtles shredders revenge is a perfect recreation of the kind of side-scrolling beat-em-ups we adored as kids a shot of nostalgia so pure nothing could ruin it well apart from someone maybe singing the intro song with the wrong rhythm [Music] all right time to uninstall i guess manage to persevere past the opening sequence however and you'll discover a great throwback beat em up packed with charm fun and some cool bosses ripped from the turtles animated series and elsewhere for you to wail on with your ninja weapons or if you're playing as april o'neil broadcasting equipment [Music] throughout the game you're following parts of the android body belonging to krang a brain-like alien warlord who needs that android body to do anything useful like for example punching turtles unfortunately for you when you reach the end of episode 15 krang is housed firmly within said android body and as you can imagine now extremely capable of doing the aforementioned turtle punching i am invincible how to choose some manners but while crank is certainly tougher than the regular enemies you encounter throughout the game you might notice that he's actually not all that hard to beat he's only really got one attack launching a spiked ball out of his fist and he's slow and easy to chunk damage off with your super moves we're not ones to look at gift victory in the smashed android mouth and we were busy celebrating when krang started talking and said he had a surprise for us you fell for my diversion i have a surprise for you and that's the point at which we remember that the game's called shredder's revenge [Music] the world is mine yes the actual boss of this stage is in fact shredder himself a much much tougher opponent who is way quicker and more agile able to leap around the screen use powerful electric attacks and as if that wasn't enough vanish then reappear as three shredders [Music] still at least when we finally do beat shredder that's the last we'll see of him you haven't seen the last of me [Music] my mistake elden ring from software's recent smash hit collaboration with workshy author george rr martin is at its heart all about the bosses whatever you're doing in the game from exploring caves to shanking people from your horse to jumping into teleporters is all in service of finding the next big boss to kill and they don't get bigger or more spectacular than the game's shard bearer bosses story critical enemies that you have to beat to progress the game these shard bearers are uniformly spectacular brutal and most importantly tough as nails ranging from godric the grafted who has more arms than a mortal combat boss to star scourge radhan sentient comet and owner of the world's most comically undersized horse the main thing you'll notice about these guys is that they want to kill you as hard and quickly as possible so you might be surprised when you step into the boss chamber of another shard bearer boss ranala and discover that she's just kind of floating there hush little culver i'll soon birthday a new a sweeting fresh and pure there are still hazards in this fight ronald's weird little crawling students hold books at you these chandeliers fall and occasionally a big laser seems to come out of nowhere but honestly this is one of the least deadly easiest boss fights you'll ever see in eldon ring all you have to do is kill the three glowing students to break her forcefield and then you can wail on her to your heart's content she doesn't even fight back now you're probably thinking this seems suspiciously easy aren't from software boss is supposed to be punishingly hard to which i say why you gotta overthink everything maybe they just got cool suddenly and then comes phase two of the fight [Music] yes as you can see at this next stage in the fight the beating your ass duties are taken over by an apparition of ranala in her prime conjured by her daughter rani and this rinale is in no mood to mess around one shotting you with death beams firing off glintstone spells and using her own summons which that's our thing ranala the absolute nerve great now it's a proper elven ring boss so it's going to take me as long to get past it as it's going to take george rr martin to finish the winds of winter i mean almost as long you have come back under my command come back you must be kidding you'd better come back it'll be fun from now on i refuse zone of the enders the second runner is a game in which you pilot a big flying robot battling other robots in spectacular mecca anime fashion the premise is you're a man named dingo who is shot and left for dead by a martian terrorist leader named noman then a rebel pilot named ken saves your life by plugging you into a cool mecca named jehuty and if you're looking for original baby names i'm just saying look no further than this game he's got a stable pulse thank you you can go now anyway your life is saved and that's the good news the bad news is the cool mecca named jihuty is now what's keeping you alive so i hope you're happy to spend the rest of your life housed in jihooty's groin area for real see that's where they put the cockpit in the course of revenging himself on noman dingo eventually squares up to noman's mecca anubis in what is sure to be an almighty mecca throwdown for the ages what's wrong is facing up to anubis too tough for you sorry i was just trembling with excitement except one minute into what should be an epic battle that pushes your every mecca fighting skill to the limit you're going to find the encounter curiously low-key if not outright easy breezy that's odd that is odd and the reason it's odd is that this anubis isn't even the real one but a decoy with your now love interest ken trapped inside [Music] look out for dingo top 10 baby names 2022 i'm telling you in retrospect we ought to have been tipped off by how the fake decoy anubis doesn't have the enormous wings of the real anubis and the real anubis is now off to destroy mars which means you're off to stop him from destroying mars in a much much harder boss battle this time with your own mecca already damaged from the previous fight at least the groin area is still intact that's something to be thankful for in the original super mario bros bowser was really easy to defeat he always fought you on a precarious bridge over some lava always with the switch to retract said bridge in full view and usually didn't do anything to stop you pressing it bar a few half-hearted leaps and fireballs [Music] honestly i think it might have been a cry for help as such you may think you know what to expect when you reach the end of new super mario bros on the wii to discover a setup very much like the one we've just witnessed princess peach hangs in a cage suspended from the ceiling bowser is on a precarious bridge over some lava and there is a big red switch just sitting there on the other side be rude not to right [Music] and so the bridge vanishes bowser falls into the lava and we're left with a victory fanfare and a lingering sense that that all seemed a little bit easy a concern that is validated almost immediately when peach turns around to reveal that she is actually the wizard kamek in disguise [Music] who then casts a spell on bowser making him 50 feet tall and furious [Music] so now instead of fighting regular bowser who will just politely stand on collapsible bridges until we decide to come by and kill him we are now running away from giant terrifying kaiju bowser whose fireballs can shatter brick and whose terrible claws send roaring tsunamis of molten lava our way i'd say what did we do to deserve this but then i did start this bit by talking about the many many times that we've dropped bowser in molten lava so i guess it's fair enough a rat a rat you're drunken lots get off your backsides and kill it i'll save you fair damsel they say in london you're never more than six feet away from a rat which is usually upsetting because you don't know where that rat is so i've started carrying a rat around with me so i know exactly where the rat i'm not more than six feet away from is whoa what it's fine don't worry about it i've got him in this bag all right everyone tuck your trousers into your socks what was i talking about oh yeah rats is there a more quintessential rpg starting quest than being asked to go and kill a bunch of rats in the cellar of a tavern 2004 rpg parody the bard's tale knows that there isn't and so starts off with that exact quest delivered to your character by a buxom bartender with an accent i would describe as scottish but it's a weird problem i've got in my cellars and if you could do away with them i'd be ever so thankful so down to the seller you go ready to take on the rat that is in the basement an encounter that receives a lot more build up than it actually deserves given that when you discover the rat you easily kill it with a single blow quest complete that was easy you're probably thinking i'm the greatest the bard's tale player in history i expect the narrator even gives you a victory speech along those very lines all hail the bard rat killer and rodent bane which is the point at which a giant flame-breathing rat appears out of the shadows and sets you on fire yeah turns out this is the rat that is the problem not that little guy you killed earlier this will all be explained to you once you stop being on fire nicely done or is that well done but hey at least you get a new sword before you head down there again for a proper fight this time so it's not all bad news good luck or as they say in scottish good luck church [Music] the only thing deadlier than a hedgehog is a hedgehog made of metal having understood this fundamental axiom the designers of sonic 3 and knuckles made the final boss you must defeat as knuckles a sinister metallic robot version of sonic [Music] this pitiless terminator-like creature known as mechasonic with its dead eyes and indifference to chili dogs is the inverse of sonic and everything he stands for and with that you'd expect mechasonic to be a pretty vicious adversary and yet as the fight wears on you come to realize that mechasonic is all spin and no win robotically boosting around the screen at medium speed between bouts of standing still and not trying very hard to hit you faced with this show of underwhelming force you'll have mechasonic on the scrap heap in no time or will you because before you walk off into the credits look out for the defeated mechasonic who turns out to be not defeated at all far from the boss fight being over it's only just begun on account of how this metal hedgehog is playing metal possum mechasonic has juice enough to clamber onto the unguarded master emerald recharge himself with its mystical chaos energy and launch back into battle [Music] now he's faster flashier and more firing orbs at you than ever before also the music is a lot more stressful which we especially could have done without let that be a lesson to all of us i don't know what the lesson is but it feels like there's one in there somewhere your words are as empty as your soul mankind ill needs a savior such as you what is a man a miserable little pile of secrets but enough talk how about you castlevania symphony of the night has you fighting enough vampires werewolves and skeletons to throw a respectable monster mash so it's not too much of a surprise when your character half human half vampire dreamboat alucard runs into a room in the underground caverns and is confronted by some kind of giant snake i mean that tracks snakes probably welcome at the graveyard smash i'd imagine anyway the doors lock and the background guitarist is going absolutely ballistic so i think it's fair to assume that this snake is a boss [Music] although a pretty easy one in a game like symphony of the night where other bosses include dracula and beelzebub still we're not complaining right or at least we weren't until the room starts flooding we flee towards the surface and discover the horrible horrible truth it seems that the snake was in fact just one of three more like eels attached to the torso of cilla a monstrous chimera with the upper body of a woman and a collection of dog heads under that kind of like if in the little mermaid ariel had accidentally wished for an exotic animal sanctuary instead of legs this fight is considerably harder thanks to there being two of these so-called siller worms plus the dog heads causing rocks to fall on you then there are the various water attacks and floating skulls and general bad vibes from all the dog yelling going on at least i think it was the dogs yelling i was probably making similar noises at that point thanks so much for watching this video about seven suspiciously easy boss fights that had you fooled but don't get fooled again friends click on one of these videos they're exactly what they seem like good good videos that aren't rick astley i promise click on either of those and god i could make them rick astley so easily they're not they're definitely not they're real videos so please click on them

At least the groin area is still intact; that's something to be thankful for.
