And they won with an exploit to boot. Pretty sure that event wasn't supposed to be completed though. And from what I heard it ticked a lot of people off because it made the event before it go away.

I'd say you're probably going to see a lot of "hardest bosses" from the 8 and 16bit eras of gaming. Whether it's due to game glitches making it difficult or just plain old difficulty you won't see stuff that hard again unless it's a majorly niche title.

The hardest fight that I can recall for me though was in Valkyrie Profile for the PSX. I don't recall the name of the boss but it involved going back in time to a city's past to find out why it went apocalypse. The boss fight you have to go up against there is very tough if you didn't expect it as he dropped a very powerful AE on your party very frequently.
