Who is the hardest boss ever?

Who is the most difficult boss you have ever seen?

The most difficult boss I can think of in recent memory is the final boss from Heavenly Sword. The third stage took me at least 2 hours to beat.

Legitimately difficult, or cheap difficult? The last colossus in Shadow of the Colossus for the former, and the last boss in Conan for the latter. That Conan boss got on my nerves to the point that I shut the game off and mailed it back to Gamefly.

I would say Sepiroth from FF7 he was a bitch to beat that damn super nova attack was destructive.

Death in real life no matter what everyone I have seen cannot beat it. But really cant think of a boss so went for real world example.

Bowser. Name one other boss that you can kill more than 50 times and he's still alive.

Yiazmat from FFXII, the final hunt mark.
never beat him.

Soloing RAAM on insane (GOW) took me forever.

thats not hard its just cheap

Iron Mike Tyson was pretty tough.

Alma from Ninja Gaiden was a BITCH. Seriously, that was such a hard boss fight >=(

Ansem from Kingdom Hearts was such a bitch for me and Sephoroth was a real bitch in Kingdom Hearts and FF7

Ruby Weapon (Final Fantasy VII) this boss was a PITA for me to defeat, but with the right strategy anything can be put down.

The Guy.

ReTarDedFisHy believes its between these two:

"The Guy."

This fucking dude with the key around his neck is the one pissing me off right now.

World 3 Braid.

It did take a long time, but the fight wasn't necessarily difficult...just time consuming.

I've easily handle Emerald Weapon, just took a long time to defeat him.

Mike Tyson.

GigaDeath on Ninja Gaiden II. The single most cheap and unfair bosses in game history.

I admit it, I just use God mode whenever I need to take down a boss that can't go in a few tries.

sephiroth in any freaking game...(ff7,kh1 and 2) also the last boss in final fantasy 10......it was rediculous

Just beat the hardest boss I've ever faced: the Spider Guardian in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Holy shit it took me forever to beat that damn thing. 

Didn't the pandemonium warden take over 18 hours to kill and make people puke because the fight was so god awful? If a boss can make you puke in real life than that's pretty impressive, or horrible, or both.

"People were passing out and getting physically ill. We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people’s lives. Sylphet also mentions that several members of the linkshell actually vomited over the course of the battle."

Hito-Shura from Digital Devil Saga 1.
 
I dare you to try and beat him.

Surprised I never responded to this thread being so old. Yiazmat on Final Fantasy XII is pretty hardcore. The first few hours of the fight is fairly easy but near the end he gains some ridiculous abilities that kept me on my toes... Spent an entire saturday trying to kill him. It was fun times. Also some bosses near the end of the optional dungeon in Infinite Undiscovery are pretty crazy to fight, especially on the highest difficulty.

I remember thinking Bowser in Super Mario 64 was pretty fucking hard. 
 
Killing The Boss with tranqs only in MGS3 was the hardest I think. Then again, They were all fucking hard to kill with only the Tranqs.

Speechless. "

The optional Final Fantasy bosses (Yiazmat, Ozma, the various Weapons) aren't necessarily hard, they usually have some sort of trick to beat them.  However, I usually lose interest in those types of battles quickly.

The final boss to Lufia and the Fortress of Doom. I forget his name, but he is fucking retarded. I have never beaten him.

Virgil in DMC 3 and the last boss of Gun.

The slurry of 4 boss fights, without any more items available, at the end of Ninja Gaiden Black (and Ninja Gaiden II, for that matter) made that initial Alma fight look like Iggy.

Has anybody here ever tried to beat Sarevok from Baldur's Gate (with the expansion pack installed, which makes him even harder) without any sort of dispel magic spell? Not only is he also surrounded by a bunch of other high level friends to back him up, but even if you cheap it and manage to pick them off separately, Sarevok himself is hasted (meaning he moves faster, attacks faster), can barely be harmed by magic or physical attacks (regular attacks that manage to land do 1-2 points of damage, spell resistance blocks most spells from even hitting him), has well over 100 hp (probably over 200) can cut through any member of your party in a maximum of 4 swings, and, to top it all off, is surrounded by so many traps that you will never have time to disable them all.
 
Even using the cheap strategy of using a wand of monster summoning, the most horribly broken, cheating thing about that game, summoning about a hundred monsters as a buffer between him and your party still doesn't stop him. He'll cut through them about as fast as you can summon more. I then submit that it is impossible to kill him without using some of the most cheap methods back against him, and have the one spell that will strip him of the buffs and make the fight bearable. If you don't have that spell, you may as well forget trying to fight him. You won't win.

excluding some bosses I fought in my WoW days I would say Braska's Final Aeon in Final Fantasy X definitely gave me some trouble, as well as a few bosses in Tales of Symphonia.

This guy has to take the cake, mainly because when it did, it raped that cake in horrible ways:
