A man on fire who is no longer on fire is just a miserable little pile of secrets.
-
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest had a funny one: If your main character cast Cure on the end-of-game boss, it would heal him so much that it would buffer overflow to a huge negative number and take off about 90% of his health.
-
If you want more MGS3 shenanigans, you can quite literally get The Fear to repeatedly eat expired food to beat them
-
In Radahn’s defence, he has been being eaten from the inside out by an elder god’s fungus infection
-
FINALLY. The eggplant/water drop mystery has been laid to rest. Doin' the Lord's work Mike.
-
The banana thing is a callback to the Yiga Clan since they defected from the Sheikah where they probably got their banana obsession.
-
How about Volgin from Metal Gear Solid 3? He's afraid of frogs, glowing mushrooms will absorb his electric attacks, and you can make him mistake you for his lover, even if you put on the disguise right in front of him.
-
The best thing about Radahn (from what I remember reading in the wiki) is that he loves his horse so much that he learned magic to allow Leonard to still be able to carry him despite his size.
-
Fun fact: the reason for Maz Koshia being distracted by bananas during phase 1 is because for phase 1 he is programmed using the code for the Yiga clan members who are all obsessed with bananas. Whenever you fight a yiga clan member, if you drop some bananas they will drop what they're doing and zero in on them. I was wrong. It is just an easter egg stemming from how the Yiga clan used to be Shrikah, and so Sheikahs are also into bananas.
-
It's less of a weird weakness and more of an oversight, but at one point in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, you gain an ability that allows you to reverse your gravity and stand on the ceiling. However, most boss fights aren't designed to factor this in, so you can absolutely trivialise some of them by just standing on the ceiling where they can't reliably hit you and firing off ranged attacks.
-
The final boss of Mother 3 can be beaten by casting a certain sequence of spells: because each spell is accompanied by a particular tone, you have to play a song.
-
Man, when Mike went to eat the snack I honestly expected Ellen to suddenly appear and be like, "Guess what game boss I'm going to talk about now?"
-
If I was a boss, bananas would not tempt me, and a squirt gun would only annoy me more. Distract me with an adorable kitten, though... I think that would work.
-
In the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, during the final duel with Ganondorf, if you pull out your fishing rod the King of Evil will get distracted and stare at it giving you the opportunity to get a few cheap shots in. I guess living in a desert he hasn't seen one before and is curious what it is?
-
I always found it funny that you could 1-shot the Phantom Train in FF VI by using a phoenix down on them, because reviving an undead enemy is the same as using Doom on a living one
-
The arm that Stan Gimble uses isn't a fake arm, it's a real one. Floppy and rubbery, yes, but fake? No siree. He holds it by the exposed bone like the handle of a sword, and the player can take it as their own weapon after the fight.
-
When I saw Elden Ring, I figured you would mention the Royal Revenants - you can poise break them by using a healing spell, which turns a pretty terrifying enemy into an absolute cakewalk.
-
Man, that Capra Demon was such a pain. The dogs and the small arena gave me fits to the point that I'm pretty sure the developers meant for you to do it this way.
-
Me: struggles with radahn several times before managing to kill him the intended way Several Months Later: "Oh yea, you can totally make him drown if you stand on the shore of the map" Me: internal screaming intensifies
-
Speaking of Legend of Zelda bosses with wierd weaknesses: There was that time I absolutely crushed Dark Link at the end of LoZ 2 with the awesome power of: "Standing on the left side of the screen!"
