“Dark Souls III” (2016)Upon entering this Cathedral in “Dark Souls III” we wouldn’t blame you if you were worried by the sheer amount of enemies there are within this boss fight. Worry not though, as each and every one of the Deacons are massive pushovers. Mainly firing magical attacks, these enemies will mostly stand around, waiting for you to strike them. Even if you get completely surrounded by them, you won’t be in that much trouble as you’ll be able to quickly roll out of it. Not only is this one of the easiest bosses in the franchise, but also one of the dullest.

In this instance, the Shocker gets the rough end of the stick as far as villain incarnations are concerned in both the game and the Ultimate comics. So much so that he gets reduced to nothing more than a tutorial on how to use Spidey’s web-shooters. Throw in the fact he goes down after three shots of webbing and the whole fight is over in the blink of an eye. Of course, most players responded with a quick blow to the super villain, which instantly puts the flamboyant troublemaker down. He then surrenders immediately and asks Spidey not to hit him again. Leading Jimmy to an abandoned rooftop on the school property, he challenges him to a fist fight to decide who will walk away in control of the school.
It feels particularly bizarre given that both Earthworm Jim and its even crazier sequel toss some maddeningly tough platforming gameplay at you. Well, unless your idea of “epic” is throwing up your shield for a bit to deflect projectiles then tossing a magical book at Ganon, it doesn’t pan out. Yes, this one quick item toss is all it takes to defeat the great and powerful Ganon.

The enemy will slowly float around the small room in the catacombs, making copies of itself and not really making much effort to attack you. Once you do suss out the real one, it won’t take that many hits before this pyromaniac is put out for good. Some boss battles are a test of players mettle, pitting them against untold horrors or challenges the likes of which they’ve never seen before. Others, however, are little more than minor distractions, so easy to overcome that they barely register so much as a twitch from the player and can’t be bothered to last more than a second. Today, we’re covering the latter with the easiest boss battles of all time. “Contra” (1987)We know we’re cheating a bit on this one – it is the first boss, after all final fantasy quiz – but this is “Contra” we’re talking about, infamous for its insane levels and even more insane boss fights.

Still, while this may invoke some laughter and a sigh of relief after seeing Mysterio’s health bars building up, that doesn’t excuse the fact that this is one of the easiest boss fights ever. A pushover is a pushover, regardless of the intention behind it. Fights that can be ended in just a few easy strikes or less and with little effort. Whether through exploits, overpowered characters, or developer laziness, some pretty easy boss fights stand out. As a lesser boss, being able to fly and move really fast would mean that the creature is also fragile, while being able to strike hard would mean they’re also weak to something themselves.
On this 7th of September, many Brazilians took to the streets. Thousands more did not go, and there is a common point among all Brazilians. A Pokemon GO player finally brings an end to a streak of bad luck that has lasted over seven years and 105,000 in-game captures.
While we were considering Goopy le Grande for our pick, our minds were changed when we saw the predictable behavior in Werner Werman. In each phase, Werner only uses two or three basic, easy-to-read attacks. No matter what, you’ll have plenty of time to find your escape route. For someone equipped with explosives, flamethrowers, and a mechanical cat, he quickly becomes a pushover. The desire to bring some sort of romantasy enemies-to-lovers story into reality?
The current Evergaol meta, which is only possible with a Relic from the Everdark update, allows your Nightfarers to become more powerful with every jail you beat — and it has a compounding effect. Where before I often struggled to go above level 11, with an Evergaol build I regularly hit 15 by the time I get to the Nightlord of the expedition. You would have thought that the grim reaper would be rather high on the list when it came to challenging contenders for a boss fight, what with being able to literally snatch the souls out of people and all. Apparently Dante is the one exception, as he’s not only able to stave off Death, but actually…kill it? Regardless, thanks to his move-set being easy to block and parry, it’s no wonder that Dante was able to steal his scythe and rip him a new one.
If DMs aren’t comfortable physically screeching in front of their players, describing how the boss shrieks or roars or whatever it does between turns is still a good option. Not falling completely into ‘combat mode’ and maintaining some of the set dressing and flavor that comes during out-of-combat D&D can help make the bosses—and players—feel like a more important part of the world. Don’t get us wrong, we were more than happy to blow this little ball of mechanical garbage to kingdom come. Not only was it annoying as hell, but then went all psycho and killed Johnson! Not only are its attacks weak and easy to avoid, you’re armed with your very own Spartan Laser. Land three charged burst and its goodbye to the annoying little monitor.
“Bloodborne” (2015)“Bloodborne” has some of the most intense boss battles you’ll find in gaming, which is why it pains us to see it on the list. You’ve fought through psychotic villagers and disgusting maggots, and now it’s time to play “hide n’ seek”…seriously? The Witch will turn invisible and fire orbs at you, giving away her position. After a few attacks, she’ll disappear and send in not a group, not a trio, not a duo, but ONE enemy. “Donkey Kong Country” (1994)The original SNES Donkey Kong Country has some pretty unique boss fights throughout its playtime, but unfortunately the very first one you encounter is essentially an oversized common enemy.
As he’s giving out his pre-battle villain speech, you’ll have to bring out a music box to break his shield. You’re then prompted to shoot him with your gun, killing him instantly. If you take too long to pull the trigger, Reaver will do it for you instead, somehow making the boss even easier than it already was. 7 September 2021, is the 199th anniversary of the Brazilian Independence. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Defense suspended the classic civil-military parade of Independence Day for the second consecutive year, However, nationwide protests occurred this day.
Enemies in a boss fight don’t have to be standard damage sponges meant to draw the game out. Give them a smidgen of the boss’ life total, something that could even be wiped out in a turn, but with damage or battle effects that still make them a threat. Based on conversations I’ve seen online, players still consider this fight easy; some are even arguing that the new version of the fight is simpler than its initial iteration. For my money, though, it’s really just that over a month after the game’s release, players have gotten much better at the game.
