Games with absolutely unfair final bosses?

IDK about OP but The Star in Furi feels really unfair simply because it fires semi-transparent blu projectiles overlaying a semi-transperent blue floor. Maybe I need to git gud but I find it extremely difficulty to parse the screen when it is an explosion of colour.

the game deletes your save if you fail the final boss level

Oof, can't say that doesn't interest me though.

I just wish you could get more lives from the unspent continues for the new mode's final boss.

>tfw so scrub can't even beat the eye boss
what the hell do i do against those orbs? they refuse to die.

dodge, back up for a bit and just learn the patterns, the only orbs you should even try to break are the ones that stay on screen and screen-wrap around

vagrant story's final boss move around so fast and is vulnerable for so little time that you basically have to pause buffer constantly to have a chance to hit it, and the it's level is so much higher than the previous boss that you're unlikely to even deal 1 damage to it with the weapons you bring in.
Pretty much requires using the few moves in the game that deal flat damage to slowly chip away, plus perfectly countering the 20 second long finisher attack is has.
Bizarrely shit boss for an otherwise pretty cool game.

But seriously how the fuck do you beat the final area? I went in with a full set of orbs and got wrecked on what I assume was the last hit. I must have panicked I guess, but when it takes me like 4 hours to grind the orbs back after getting wrecked there's a lot of pressure to not fuck up.

charge shot

You can back up your save from the appdata folder, and just copy-paste it back in if you fuck up.

Interesting. I don't know if I want to straight up cheat yet though. I'll give it another honest go first.

I think it's kind of a cool thing thematically, and adds to the stakes, but I imagine it ultimately will just leave some players frustrated. Particularly those that might go in with just a few orbs remaining. It's not too hard to clear the game back to that point with the generous level select and checkpoints, but I do wish they respected players' time with the orb grind for repeat attempts.

You get almost a full set of orbs by getting up to around stage 1-3 in one run, which ideally you would be getting to after so many times replaying the stages. The last few seem to require more points though, which is annoying. After failing once, or maybe twice, you should just get an orb straight up after beating a stage, regardless of points. So just making it back to 2-4 would fully equip you for another try.

Charge shot. Type C's goes through them and type B sticks around long enough that they're often easy to break.

A full run from 1-1 to the end of the game without continues or anything gives you 4 or 5 orbs if you're starting from nothing. That's about half of them still to get.
That all said, you shouldn't be using many more to beat the true last boss, so...

Out of the way losers

I lost all 8 so I'm still salty about it. Maybe I went in overconfident. I didn't realize the game doesn't let you use iframes to cheese the last boss until it was too late either.

At least you're playing the patched version of that fight.

All the shadowy orbs are melee, just don't get ground up between two of them and you should be able to make it. Honestly, the worst part is when it's firing multiple at you from its hands, the latter half of the fight is easier if more tense.

>patched
It was even harder before?

pretty fun game but i'm dogshit at it

Don't worry, user. It's not like most shmups, it expects you to not necessarily be the best. Have you tried white vanilla? It's generally easier, encourages the aggressive playstyle that helps most in the main mode, and mixes in portions of loop 2 to loop 1 levels, it might be good for practice.

what's that final fantasy game that has a boss that requires you to play it for literally hours to beat it?

FFXll Yiazmat?
FFXl Absolute Virtue would be a better example

other shmups at least let you credit feed infinitely to see the ending

And how many of them show you the actual ending if you don't 1cc it?

well you got me there

Took me four hours. The absolute balls to make that the final boss, I had to sync up my game to that cheat video tons of times before I finally got it. Story was very good, there was a lot of substance, twists, but you had to read manga and novels to get the whole story and that sucks some. Gameplay was weak. But damn I'm glad I played that game
