7 Unwinnable Boss Fights You Can Beat If You're Good Enough

My favorite is when you think it's an unwinnable boss fight... but you get a Game Over instead of the continuation of the story.

imagine being so op that you beat urizen in dmc5 the first try without knowing you are supposed to lose it and you now think its the shortest dmc5 ever

I love how the games have special cutscenes for fights you aren’t supposed to win just in case you manage to

Genichiro: "HAHA! I threw that shit before I walked in the room!"

Fun Fact: Terraria's Dungeon Guardian was meant to be unbeatable. Then someone beat it, so the devs made it drop the Bone Key.

“Players can use their speed and agility to stay away from his attacks” *PLAYER ROLLS AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE*

It’s incredibly hard to pull off, but in Dishonored: Brigmore Witches Daud has a nightmare and fights Corvo. You’re supposed to get stabbed and wake up, but if you try hard enough you can actually kill Corvo.

I’ve always enjoyed that although technically considered a speed-run, you can in fact beat hades in your very first escape attempt in supergiant’s Hades, and even get special dialogue for managing it

2:36 "Players can use their speed and agility..." fat roll fat roll fat roll

"You just need Speed and agility" as he fatrolls in heavy armour

So I recently started playing kingdom hearts and I beat Leon 1st try because I backed him into a corner and he couldn’t do anything. Every time I got hit most of my hp would be gone and I used every healing item I had, thinking I had to win to progress the story.

I found Umbra in Oblivion at like level 4 and spent hours trying to cheese to a win and eventually pulled it off. I then went back to the city and used her gear to win all of the arena fights with absolutely no contest and become the champion.

Demon Souls has a better "unbeatable" first boss. You beat him, a portal opens up, thinking you've achieved something incredible, get punched in face by Dragon God.

Andy always has the best comebacks: "you suck!" You tell em Andy, you tell em.

One of the most well done examples of this is in Chrono Trigger. You're allowed to fight Lavos (The final boss and primary antagonist) at any point in the story, and while it's incredibly difficult and requires an unbelievable amount of grinding, it is possible to beat him at the beginning of the game.

Tales of Symphonia ought to have been added to this list, because when you reach the "Tower of Salvation" for the first time, you are thrusted into a boss battle without two of your party members against a so-called "Angel" facading as one of your characters' father. When it is revealed that they weren't who they claimed to be, you must fight them. The game intends for you to looze that battle, but if you win, you end up fighting a former team member, "Kratos". Once again, you are expected to looze the battle, but if you win even against him as well, then the final boss comes to face you. The probability of winning the fight against the final boss at that point in the game is extremely small for multiple reasons. First, his level is so high comparatively to your own that each individual hit you inflict against him barely does 1% to 2% damage; meaning you are basically giving him mild scratches at best. Additionally, since he is the third fight in a succession of back-to-back fights where the cut-scenes give you absolutely no time to heal nor reposition, you're entering the battle already handicapped. And on top of that, since you are missing two party members, you have a diminished force to face against the final boss as well. However, despite the devastating odds, it is theoretically possible to win! But even if you lower the Final Boss's health down to 0%, a cut-scene triggers where he summons a OHKO attack that instantly wipes out your party regardless. No telling why that Final Boss didn't simply use that OHKO move at the start of the battle instead; would have saved the player a lot of effort trying to very slowly whittle his HP to nothing only for him to turn around and instantly knock-out your party anyway. I happen to know this only because I was one such fool who tried time after time after time again to defeat that Final Boss during that earlier portion of the game; and when I finally succeeded, the cut-scene wipes out my team no matter what. Incidentally, whenever I replay Tales of Symphonia, I will legitimately try to beat the first two bosses strictly for the "Experience Points", but then when the third and Final Boss comes out, I no longer even fight back anymore... My previous victory against him ironically caused me to looze my will to fight that Final Boss at all.........

I appreciate how ass most of the gameplay is, because it shows that they at least played it for themselves instead of ripping footage.

I see Jane is still mad at Alistair for dumping her after he became king. 10 years is too soon Alistair. too soon...

You know, I never will never understand why when they’re showing gameplay they have a black screen, and right when your eyes get used to it they flash bang you with a background brighter than the sun

So I played dark souls for the first time, and I thought I HAD to defeat the beast, so I spent three hours trying to defeat it, failed, remade a character with the bombs and won. Very fristrating to know I was supposed to skip it
