Hardest boss in video game history

[Shakarlyn]

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.

It was pretty much the biggest zergfest of all time. Clerics pretty much sat there spamming res from their Epics. There was no exploit, but he did bug out and despawn at 25%. GMs were called, they agreed it was a bug, so Sony agreed to reset the even and posted an apology. Sleeper can only be awoken once ever, per server. Can never spawn on that server again.

I was lucky to be logged in when he was woken on my server when I played during that expansion.

The final last boss of drakengard 1 and 3...especially 3

You played Drakengard 3?!

Sanctus Devil May Cry 4?

I'd say The Sleeper back in EQ. Think it was like 2003 when he was first killed with something like 150 players.

EverQuest: Kerafyrm, The Sleeper. It took over 180 people at the time of the first kill, many people lost several levels, took over 3 hours.

Would definitely say this. ^

Remember getting it, and spamming potions like no tomorrow.

Every good danmaku secret boss.

Lunatic Byakuren imo.

In MMORPG, I think probably heroic Ragnaros... I've not even beaten his normal version.

Ragnaros wasnt particularly hard... Hmm.... Firelands was ok, not that wooo impossible hard (rags included)

However.... Hmmm.. I can't think of any that I played that was particularly hard enough to earn this title...

I've played a bunch of games and a lot of them had challenges in them but... Well, I wouldn't know! xD

EverQuest: Kerafyrm, The Sleeper. It took over 180 people at the time of the first kill, many people lost several levels, took over 3 hours.

AV and PW were based of him im sure :P

the term MANABURN come from him ,because kerafurm was inmune to everything but 2 spells harm touch (looong CD for shadowknights ) and manaburn from wizards.

so he was the 1 boss manaburned to death

Try as hard as I might, I was never able to defeat the final boss in SaGa Frontier 2, even when I replayed it years later.

In terms of MMOs, WoW had some pretty difficult boss fights. C'thun, M'uru, 0-light Yogg-Saron, heroic Lich King, and heroic Ragnaros come to mind. They make the difficult fights in FF14 look easy.
