That One Boss/Other Games/Atlus: Difference between revisions

 

 

* Camazotz from [[Digital Devil Saga|the first game]], mainly because of extra-turn spells and ZOTZILAHA BANE, which can't be defended against and turns you into a bat, which has hideously low stats and a large Force weakness. Three guesses what all of Camazotz's damage-dealing attacks's element is. Void Force would be your only saving grace, but Zotzilaha Bane apparently overrides all resistances to Force with its weakness. Camazotz's downfall is that it has terrible HP for a boss, so if you aggressively assault him he'll fall like a pile of bricks before he can trash your party. Assuming, of course, he doesn't get overly lucky when he starts spamming Beast Eye.

** It seems appropriate for a boss which is named after a [[wikipedia:Camazotz|Mayan god of death.]]

* Abaddon. The thing changes weakness, swallows your party members leaving you with two characters for most of the fight. Good luck not getting Argilla swallowed when he's weak to earth, because if you can't exploit his weakness and gain extra turns you will be spending ALL of the turns you have healing/reviving, and if you don't damage him enough in 4-5 turns he'll use a ridiculously overpowered attack...Om mani padme hum.

 

* While he IS a [[Final Boss]], Great Father {{spoiler|Nyarlathotep}} in ''[[Persona 2]]: Innocent Sin'' is VICIOUS. He gets ''five'' attacks on his turn, and can easily bring a prepared party to their knees. Unless you are at incredibly high levels, you are going to get destroyed. The only breather he gives is that sometimes he will switch over from attacking your HP to your SP. Use that time to deal as much damage as you can, because once he targets your HP again, ''every single effing turn will be spent healing''.

* ''[[Persona 2]]: Eternal Punishment'' has {{spoiler|"The Metal Trio"--golden statues of Jun, Eikichi, and Lisa, who were born out of Tatsuya's guilt.}} Like the Sylph battle example from ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', this is a team battle, your party against them. While each character doesn't have a huge amount of HP, each enemy is immune to physical attacks, and possess unique high damage spells that target all party members, and to further twist the knife, {{spoiler|Eikichi's}} 'Bloody Divorce' has a high percentage of causing instant death. {{spoiler|"Jun"'s}} 'Terror Fortune' special can inflict almost every single freaking status ailment on everyone with next to no fail, often leaving you utterly helpless.

** Kunino-sagiri is a pain in the ass. He has a ridiculous amount of HP and can ''control your party members'' so they try to kill ''you'' if you're unlucky. The hard part is when he uses Quad Convergence, which powers up the strength of one element and makes the other ones do close to nothing if you attack him with it. He also ALWAYS uses Ma-Dyne spells, which hit the entire group. If you're willing to use up four Magic Mirrors and you get lucky, this actually be turned in your favor and shorten the fight considerably. That supercharged Ma-dyne spell will bounce off your team and hit him ''four times'', depleting roughly a third of his life bar in one turn. He won't always do this, but it's ''so'' sweet when he does.

 

* [[Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army]]: Mishaguji. Resistant to physical, immune to bullets. Powerful, with at least two moves capable of knockdown. Knows Cursed Emission-- an unblockable attack that leaves you (or your demon) paralyzed for much longer than normal paralysis, and Cursed Bolt-- a wide-area attack that takes up a good chunk of the battlefield, and charms whatever it hits. If it charms you BOTH (Raidou is paralyzed by charm, but his demon actively turns against him for the duration), you better pray your demon doesn't kill you, or worse, HEAL MISHAGUJI.

* Sukuna-Hikona, whose attacks aren't that bad... on the surface. But then it starts sending out attacks that paralyze whatever they hits, following up with a large beam that deals significant damage. As if that wasn't enough, if this beam hits your demon, and doesn't kill it by damage, it will ''seal the demon in its tube'' and you cannot use it for the rest of the battle.

 

 

* In [[Devil Survivor]], if a boss has 'Bel' in its name, you might as well just start screaming in rage and frustration now. Because once the fight starts, you'll be too busy crying to do so effectively.

** During the first days you fight enemies that can be one-hit killed by exploiting the [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]], and even [["Wake-Up Call" Boss]] Wendigo is a pushover... and then you fight Beldr, who is [[Nigh Invulnerable|immune to everything you hit him with]] except your main character's standard physical attack after you retrieve a [[Makes Sense in Context|plant-shaped cellphone strap]]. Note that only demons retain their levels with [[New Game+]], and Beldr has a special attack which drains health from everyone in the field and heals him. If you didn't pump your hero's Strength much, the battle can either [[Marathon Boss|take forever]] or be straight [[Unwinnable]] if you can't even damage him more than he regenerates.

** The battle against the Osaka faction in Ronaldo's route can be an absolute sheer wall thanks in large part to Keita. The kid's got a downright vicious combination of Rage Soul and Attack-All, [[Total Party Kill|allowing him to level entire parties with a single attack]]. And if for some reason you survived? [[It Got Worse|He can initate battle twice thanks to Zouchouten!]] What's more, [[This Is Gonna Suck|the battle's on a time limit.]] May as well pray to the stars for salvation, because Atlus sure isn't showing any!

 

* From Last Bible, we have Minotaur, who is effectively the third boss in the game, the Zodia/Mephist [[Boss Rush]], and the fight with Vaerial before you get to Terra.

* Horrza, the Area 9 boss from [[Xexyz]]. He is quite possibly the closest thing to a [[Bullet Hell]] boss that the NES can actually produce. He also has much more health than previous bosses would indicate he SHOULD have, and kills the player in 4 hits. Very few players have killed him without emulator tricks. Owning him on a console is practically a [[Bragging Rights Reward]] in its own right.

* Dragon from [[3D Dot Game Heroes|Three D Dot Game Heroes]]. He does good damage and takes a ton of hits to kill, even with the most powerful sword available to the player, even IF it's fully upgraded. Also blocking his fireballs sometimes causes the player to take damage anyway.
