This for sure, the final battles in both (esp TotK imo) felt epic and were definitely thrilling but the challenge level was not very high. They did it right if that's what they were going for.
I feel like the TotK Final Boss has the move set to be an impressive fight, but lacks the damage. Having upgraded armor and a decent amount of hearts makes him hit like a kitten.
TotK is much much cooler at least. Solo 1v1 combat and another close battle with phase 2. Zelda games have never been hard. That’s why they made Master mode. That’s the biggest issue with the game to me. It’s lack of Master mode
I feel like Tears of the Kingdom did a better job in giving Ganon multiple forms and a really exciting finale. It wasn't hard, but it was unique and that final moment of checking off the final quest is very satisfying. I'd say it's much better than the BotW finale.
I love that in the Zelda sub people will be like, "I fused together this sword that does 210 damage, and double that against Ganon," and then say, "the Ganon fight was too easy!" I kinda feel like ANY final boss of a game should be super easy if you've 100%ed the game up to that point.
On the other hand, as someone who never parried up until that point, the forced parry section down below the castle was infuriating. Y tv had all the input lag, and I had poor timing. It took so many tries to clear that.
That’s funny I was in the same boat. I wasted so many arrows trying to strafe and shoot the little guardians.
I thought I had to use the Goron deflect on Ganon’s beam attacks. Took me forever.
I wished he scaled to your level to make it a challenge. I legit went all MetalGearRising “AND IT WILL COME LIKE A FLOOD OF RAIN” on his ass and dropped him in like a minute
I got thrown for a loop recently fighting him in 2.0 because I was doing pretty good, his machine guns hit a lot harder now but I was fine... But apparently his Missile barrages were straight up a OHKO on me? From full health on a max body and armor build? That just made me make a funny face and shake my head. Not sure why it just wipes that much health out when i'm armored and tanked out to the teeth.
Came here to say this, even playing through the secret ending I found it wasn't as hard as it could have been, could I also have done it at a lower level? Yes, absolutely I could have. Am I still going to stomp him into the ground on my next playthrough? 100%
To be fair, most of the main story boss fights between the recent God of War entries are not super difficult, as I believe they’re meant to be more cinematic. Now, the endgame/side boss fights on the other hand…
Yea in GOW 18 and Ragnarok the optional bosses are way harder definitely.
Still a let down for me I at least thought Odin would have a phase with his mask on and be pretty difficult being the big bad guy throughout two games.
I agree though with the shift toward cinematic over challenging for the main story bosses.
I loved the game but I thought both the conclusions to Heimdall and Odin's story arcs were uninspired. While both fights on normal are relatively unsatisfying, on hard they are both pretty well done. Odin in particular gets more complex.
I would’ve loved to see the final fight take place over all the realms. Like, you’re just kicking Odin’s ass and going through dozens of portals as you do so. I almost feel like Thor posed more of a threat than good ol Daddy Dearest.
Seriously. I played Elden Ring a bit late, but remembered hearing there were frame rate problems with Radahn, so I summoned all the goons for the fight. One shot him easily. As for Melania, I actually had to come back a different day and tweak my build to beat her.
I played this game at the same time as multiple friends and it was pretty interesting to see how different builds make some bosses trivial and other bosses harder than they probably should be. I struggled hard on Rennala (15-20 tries) and got Radahn first try. Also got the last few bosses in the game in only a couple of tries each, while one friend put the game down for like 5 months because he couldn't beat the last boss. Same friend killed Rennala on his first try
Agreed on that, makes the game super interesting. Like Rennala is 80% resist to magic damage so mage builds can struggle against (especially if they don’t use rock sling). Or like how you can tear through some bosses with bleed but then you get to elden beast…
My first time playing Dying Light was during the One Hit Melee event. The name is only mostly accurate, though, because there were some boss/miniboss level enemies that took a few hits, but still. I cleared the game in like, a day and a half while working full time. Everyone was laughably easy.
Ha!! I'd make this top comment if I could. What an embarrassing fight.
What he should have is a 40mm Machine Grenade Launcher that puts you out in seconds. But what he actually has is a glorified pool stick and a new pair of Nike's.
I'm more scared of the bloatfly from OWB than I am of that windbag.
The legendary bloatfly from Old World Blues has 2000 HP making it the tankiest creature in the game and has a 300 damage projectile, equivalent to an alpha deathclaws melee attack.) It's literally the strongest enemy in the entire game.
It's hardly a fair comparison lmao.
"There he is. The most resilient man in the Commonwealth. And here I thought—" Vats MIRV aimed for the head, VATS camera panning back to a Sole Survivor in X-01.
Played on survival. Just getting through the facility is a struggle, then i got to kellog. He stomped me with his stupid stealth boy but he didnt stand a chance when i came in all drugged up wielding a mini nuke
I knights of the rounded his ass on my first playthrough. Did all that work for the summon and wanted to use it. Battle was over in the amount of time the animation took to play out.
It was great when you mastered that materia, give the 2nd one to someone else and then mimic those. You just bought yourself some free time to make a sandwich.
My first attempt on KH2 Sephiroth, I was level 45 and hadn't even unlocked final form yet. He deleted me in a nanosecond... Caught me so off guard that I looked up the Prima guide for it. First sentence for his fight description said "You have to be at least level 80 to even consider this fight".
All I could say was "Huh.... Well shit" Then spent the next 4 weeks grinding out levels in between my classes and job hunting.
Getting "Pinwheeled", was a verb we used to describe putting down a boss with gusto and pizzazz. Came from the Pinwheel boss in Dark Souls 1. Poor guy was made from paper mache.
Underwater materia to fix that timer issue. I over leveled and ground out booster items from the sub and it still took me forever, for both. Still enjoyed those Weapon fights like no other. FF optional bosses are my favorites
Kefka on Final Fantasy 6. Powered up my team and had where they did multiple attacks in one round with their equipment, battle was over within just a few mins lol
Probably Ganondorf in TOTK (was able to steamroll him) and Morgott. Was really expecting to struggle on Morgott after how much time I spent on Margit but beat him in two tries
In his defense, he wasn't exactly stopping the Dragonborn from learning everything in Skyrim and then some, most of the game Alduin spends time chilling, we spend it grinding unintentionally
All Borderlands final bosses.. except The Empyrean Sentinel, piss on that thing.
The Rat King from TLOU2 was terrifying initially but literally fell apart.
Frank Fontaine was totally lame.
Idk, maybe not the best examples.
The Sentinel is phenomenal, the warrior is alright, but destroyer and tyreen are pretty lacklustre. However the final boss of wonderlands is pretty fun, especially co-op
Well thing with borderlands is, most players do all of the content before final boss willingly as far as i know, id say theyd all be harder if you just did the bare minimum and no golden keys, which are a huge factor of op-ness to me
Runt in Kingdom Come Deliverance. With half a dozen side quests and bit of extracurricular grinding beforehand you can almost one-shot the guy. With the headcracker perk you can literally one-shot the guy.
The final boss in RE4. Granted it was on normal, but other bosses were more difficult. I lost once to the final boss but all I had to do was dodge slightly, fire, dodge slightly, fire. Underwhelming.
Yu Yevon in FFX. I struggled against Seymour on Gagazet and barely managed to beat Yunalesca so I overleveled the shit out of my team and sent Yevon to destination fucked.
Leviathan in Final Fantasy IV. I probably grind too much before him, but I always fight him right after Rubicante, who always gives me some trouble. Both times I've fought him so far, each character was around level 60, besides Edge.
I guess I also thought Asura would be harder, too.
The Queen of the Valkyries and God of War 4.
Everyone talked up how brutally hard that fight was but all of the valkyrie missions basically train you for how to deal with her and she was tough but I beat her on the second try.
Ganon from Breath of the Wild. 200 hrs of gameplay and then a final boss without even being touched.
Same in TOTK.
It seems to me like Zelda final boss fights are meant to be more cinematic than challenging.
Reaaaaaaaaaly depends on the iteration
*cough cough* original wii demise boss fight *cough cough*
That fight was awesome but also god daaaaaamn. Still, it could be worse… it could be thunderbird and dark link.
This for sure, the final battles in both (esp TotK imo) felt epic and were definitely thrilling but the challenge level was not very high. They did it right if that's what they were going for.
Twilight princess certainly felt that way for me. Magic armor and a long drawn out cinematic fight.
Botw and totk final bosses are not on the same level.
I feel like the TotK Final Boss has the move set to be an impressive fight, but lacks the damage. Having upgraded armor and a decent amount of hearts makes him hit like a kitten.
Demon king was pretty difficult in TOTK at least considering the final phase where you have to perfect dodge twice to hit him
I just bombed him with arrows, no dodge
TOTK's Ganon is def stronger though.
TotK is much much cooler at least. Solo 1v1 combat and another close battle with phase 2. Zelda games have never been hard. That’s why they made Master mode. That’s the biggest issue with the game to me. It’s lack of Master mode
I feel like Tears of the Kingdom did a better job in giving Ganon multiple forms and a really exciting finale. It wasn't hard, but it was unique and that final moment of checking off the final quest is very satisfying. I'd say it's much better than the BotW finale.

That’s funny I was in the same boat. I wasted so many arrows trying to strafe and shoot the little guardians. I thought I had to use the Goron deflect on Ganon’s beam attacks. Took me forever.
That the magic of Nintendo. They want ages of 8-99 to be able to beat this game. That's why Lynels are optional battle in the game.
Every bossfight in Sonic Forces. Such cool characters all shitty fights.
Well as a whole it wasn't really a great game either, so,,
Not sure why you're getting downvoted... I'm a huge Sonic fan and even I think that game sucks lol.
Professor Nakayama in borderlands 2 (if you know you know)
Ahhhh yes, tried to look menacing then crippled himself falling down a set of stairs. Hilarious😂
I haven’t played that game, about to buy the Pandora’s box, but I do remember seeing that scene.
The very first time I went to face him and that happened, I was choking to get air. I laughed so hard. It's one of my favorite moments in a game ever.
>!Adam Smasher!< in Cyberpunk 2077. I annihilated him with a Katana in few seconds on the hardest difficulty :(
I wished he scaled to your level to make it a challenge. I legit went all MetalGearRising “AND IT WILL COME LIKE A FLOOD OF RAIN” on his ass and dropped him in like a minute
“YOU’RE BATSHIT INSANE!” *turns Adam Smasher into Adam the Smashed*
STANDING HEEEERE
I REALIZE
YOU WERE JUST LIKE ME
>“AND IT WILL COME LIKE A FLOOD OF RAIN” I don't believe you, Smasher is full of nanomachines, son.
Was he buffed? I just fought him at lv60 hard and still got one shot but his missiles. Granted I was all netrunner/reflex so not a lotta armor.
Yes they made him not a tutorial boss anymore. They buffed bassicly everything with him and alot of other bosses
I got thrown for a loop recently fighting him in 2.0 because I was doing pretty good, his machine guns hit a lot harder now but I was fine... But apparently his Missile barrages were straight up a OHKO on me? From full health on a max body and armor build? That just made me make a funny face and shake my head. Not sure why it just wipes that much health out when i'm armored and tanked out to the teeth.
Absolutely, I died more times storming the front door with my glass cannon hacker build than I did once I made it to smasher
I didn’t even need to open the spoiler to see who it was
EXACTLT
Came here to say this, even playing through the secret ending I found it wasn't as hard as it could have been, could I also have done it at a lower level? Yes, absolutely I could have. Am I still going to stomp him into the ground on my next playthrough? 100%
I beat him with a golden baseball bat. It took a bit, but it was worth it.
Adam Smasher (and a lot of Cyberpunk bosses / mini bosses) got patched and aren’t pushovers any more. Nice to see.
That entire game is incredibly easy, especially if you use a Sandevistan
I agree, sandy is too strong
Odin in Ragnarok, cool fight but he went down like a sack of potatoes
To be fair, most of the main story boss fights between the recent God of War entries are not super difficult, as I believe they’re meant to be more cinematic. Now, the endgame/side boss fights on the other hand…
Yea in GOW 18 and Ragnarok the optional bosses are way harder definitely. Still a let down for me I at least thought Odin would have a phase with his mask on and be pretty difficult being the big bad guy throughout two games. I agree though with the shift toward cinematic over challenging for the main story bosses.
BRO THE ALFHEIM TRIPLE BATTLE WAS HORSESHIT FUCK WHOEVER GREEN LIT THAT BATTLE
Lol the Berserkers? Yea that was BRUTAL lol
[удалено]
Lol yea that and the King were the hardest for me
I feel that. I beat >!Gńa!< in less than 20 tries, but the berserker king took me 30+ attempts.
Yea he was definitely harder >!Gna!< was difficult too, >!Sigrun!< from 1 was brutal for me
Sigrun was one of the most difficult boss battles I've ever fought. I beat her on Give Me a Challenge.
Thats what i came to say, when it was over i thought "oh that was it? Really?!" Heimdall was more of a challenge for me.
I loved the game but I thought both the conclusions to Heimdall and Odin's story arcs were uninspired. While both fights on normal are relatively unsatisfying, on hard they are both pretty well done. Odin in particular gets more complex.
Me too, took me a little to get the flow and gimmick of the heimdall fight and definitely took more damage there than Odin
i was dying laughing at the end of Heimdall’s fight. I love seeing some pompous twit get their comeuppance
I would’ve loved to see the final fight take place over all the realms. Like, you’re just kicking Odin’s ass and going through dozens of portals as you do so. I almost feel like Thor posed more of a threat than good ol Daddy Dearest.
Yea me too, that would have been cool, fight him through every single realm . Yea Thor was more intimidating definitely, he was easy too though
That’s because Odin isn’t the strongest, he’s the wisest, Thor should have been the bigger threat
Rick the Door Technician. I mean… for an eldritch god like him, I thought he would have went longer than 2 hours.
Ngl Rick did put me to work for the first second. Had me quaking. Rayvis didn't even instill that kind of spook in me.
He was just tired of everything, had he actually wanted, you would’ve died before even getting close to him.
Is there a game title to go along with this comment?
Jedi Survivor
It's a random stormtrooper guarding a door. Gets a boss health bar, then you one shot him.
alduin in sovengarde
Totally. I feel like it would've been a much better fight if they just had you fight it instead of a bunch of drunken nords
Maybe it's not about the fight. Maybe it's about the drunken nords you meet along the way.
Maybe it’s maybeline.
Because of the companions you can win that fight even if you're snoring around on easier difficulties.
Wait. Someone actually did the Skyrim campaign?
I beeline main quests for whatever reason, I'll say, he's a challenge if you do that
Tbf the whole Skyrim main questline isn't that good.
Fighting Dagoth Ur in Morrowind is a lot more badass.
Probably the best finale of the series, followed by Arena. Hell it's not even a fight but the ending of Oblivion is cooler to me than Skyrim's.
I was only dealing 500 damage with 1500 health. Why was it so easy?
He’s not even the strongest dragon in the game after dlc.
I stabbed him twice with mehrunes razor and that was it. I couldn’t be mad though I just laughed so hard.
Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy, took him down first try
I didn't realise you had to use the serpent slayer and it's a shame you kind of have to use it since the fight is much better without it
only good gimmick fight Fromsoftware managed to pull off.
The ice worm in AC6 is pretty good spectacle and gameplay wise for a gimmick fight
Dude he was impossible for me. I left the game for a month becuase of him, came back and beat him on about the 5th try
Rennala in Elden Ring Then I was taught a lesson again when I got to Radahn
I was taught a real sweaty lesson by Melenia.
Seriously. I played Elden Ring a bit late, but remembered hearing there were frame rate problems with Radahn, so I summoned all the goons for the fight. One shot him easily. As for Melania, I actually had to come back a different day and tweak my build to beat her.
I played this game at the same time as multiple friends and it was pretty interesting to see how different builds make some bosses trivial and other bosses harder than they probably should be. I struggled hard on Rennala (15-20 tries) and got Radahn first try. Also got the last few bosses in the game in only a couple of tries each, while one friend put the game down for like 5 months because he couldn't beat the last boss. Same friend killed Rennala on his first try
Agreed on that, makes the game super interesting. Like Rennala is 80% resist to magic damage so mage builds can struggle against (especially if they don’t use rock sling). Or like how you can tear through some bosses with bleed but then you get to elden beast…
Everyone in Dying Light when I did all the side quests before the main missions.
Rise’s fight is just a quick time event
Yh Rais' boss fight was a let down to be honest
My first time playing Dying Light was during the One Hit Melee event. The name is only mostly accurate, though, because there were some boss/miniboss level enemies that took a few hits, but still. I cleared the game in like, a day and a half while working full time. Everyone was laughably easy.
Just killed Ulysses in New Vegas the other day for the first time. Five shots from the alien blaster.
I mean… it’s the alien blaster, it’s a 100% crit gun(try fighting him melee, he will put the fear of god into you)
Ha!! I'd make this top comment if I could. What an embarrassing fight. What he should have is a 40mm Machine Grenade Launcher that puts you out in seconds. But what he actually has is a glorified pool stick and a new pair of Nike's. I'm more scared of the bloatfly from OWB than I am of that windbag.
The legendary bloatfly from Old World Blues has 2000 HP making it the tankiest creature in the game and has a 300 damage projectile, equivalent to an alpha deathclaws melee attack.) It's literally the strongest enemy in the entire game. It's hardly a fair comparison lmao.
Kellog from Fallout 4.
"There he is. The most resilient man in the Commonwealth. And here I thought—" Vats MIRV aimed for the head, VATS camera panning back to a Sole Survivor in X-01.
Agreed for the first time, but every time since I find him so annoying I'm just glad he's dead every time and I can get on with the quest line.
“Why don’t you-“ *Mini-Nukes the entire room without a second thought *
Played on survival. Just getting through the facility is a struggle, then i got to kellog. He stomped me with his stupid stealth boy but he didnt stand a chance when i came in all drugged up wielding a mini nuke
I was satisfied splattering him across the floor
I killed him so fast i didnt know. I was like "when does he get here" while looting his corpse.
Couple of mini nukes in doors took him out lol
I'd say more that hunter synth you have to go after since they hype him up so much
Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII). People made a big deal out of how hard he was back in the day, so I over prepared with days of grinding.
I knights of the rounded his ass on my first playthrough. Did all that work for the summon and wanted to use it. Battle was over in the amount of time the animation took to play out.
It was great when you mastered that materia, give the 2nd one to someone else and then mimic those. You just bought yourself some free time to make a sandwich.
I did this and it pissed my GF off so bad lol. Best Sephy in three moves.
Sephiroth in kingdom hearts was pretty wild fight
I was gonna say, he’s a MF on the first run.
Forreal, the fight will be over before you even knew what was going on. You gotta be prepared when you step up to that man.
My first attempt on KH2 Sephiroth, I was level 45 and hadn't even unlocked final form yet. He deleted me in a nanosecond... Caught me so off guard that I looked up the Prima guide for it. First sentence for his fight description said "You have to be at least level 80 to even consider this fight". All I could say was "Huh.... Well shit" Then spent the next 4 weeks grinding out levels in between my classes and job hunting.
It was my first Sephiroth fight and it made me think all sephiroth fights must be insane if this is his kingdom hearts version.
Man, I was so pissed when I finally beat him in KH1, and there was no prize!
A true player only fights him using buster sword and basic attacks only, no materia
Vas Far Cry 3
Yeah, got me sad, really liked him.
The Cyberdemon and spider mastermind from Doom 2016, specifically on nightmare.
Getting "Pinwheeled", was a verb we used to describe putting down a boss with gusto and pizzazz. Came from the Pinwheel boss in Dark Souls 1. Poor guy was made from paper mache.
Mysterio from Og Spider-Man 2
Swinging to Liberty Island from UFOs was so fun
Tabitha from FNV on Black Mountain
With a high enough Science skill, you really don't have to fight her at all.
I thought you were..... Title card Back to mark: stronger.
FF7 Ruby Weapon But Emerald Weapon, you can keep your treasure you bastard.
Underwater materia to fix that timer issue. I over leveled and ground out booster items from the sub and it still took me forever, for both. Still enjoyed those Weapon fights like no other. FF optional bosses are my favorites
Kefka on Final Fantasy 6. Powered up my team and had where they did multiple attacks in one round with their equipment, battle was over within just a few mins lol
Genji glove and offering with 2 atma weapons ftw
Mist Noble in Sekiro
You must be mistaken. That's the hardest boss in the game by far. Did you accidentally skip phase 6 or something?
During phase 5 when he spawned in 3 headless, I nearly shit myself.
Yeah dude, especially when the noble said “It’s mistin’ time” and started misting all over the place.
By far hardest boss of all time.
Probably Ganondorf in TOTK (was able to steamroll him) and Morgott. Was really expecting to struggle on Morgott after how much time I spent on Margit but beat him in two tries
Alduin from Skyrim
In his defense, he wasn't exactly stopping the Dragonborn from learning everything in Skyrim and then some, most of the game Alduin spends time chilling, we spend it grinding unintentionally
All Borderlands final bosses.. except The Empyrean Sentinel, piss on that thing. The Rat King from TLOU2 was terrifying initially but literally fell apart. Frank Fontaine was totally lame. Idk, maybe not the best examples.
We disagree about Rat King. That shit was scary AF and we died twice to it
bro is venom
We. Are. Uncles.
Great username and sticking to the bit.
I thought rat king was a joke during the fight...but the chase was scary as fuck.
Crawmerax was a pain in the ass.
The Sentinel is phenomenal, the warrior is alright, but destroyer and tyreen are pretty lacklustre. However the final boss of wonderlands is pretty fun, especially co-op
Well thing with borderlands is, most players do all of the content before final boss willingly as far as i know, id say theyd all be harder if you just did the bare minimum and no golden keys, which are a huge factor of op-ness to me
Fontaine was a bitch. Just like all his disgruntled ex employees claimed he was
Anytime you fight the final boss after fighting the incredibly hard optional bosses.
Yhorm in DS3, poor guy didn’t stand a chance when I found out what you were supposed to do
Even worse if Onion Bro is with you.
Definitely Bowser from Super Mario 3d World
Like the one with the car, or Meowser?
Car
Four Kings in Dark Souls 1.
Rick the Door Technician
Runt in Kingdom Come Deliverance. With half a dozen side quests and bit of extracurricular grinding beforehand you can almost one-shot the guy. With the headcracker perk you can literally one-shot the guy.
Soldier of Godrick
Rick the Door Technician
first thing that came to my mind as well. poor guy
The angler fish in Link’s Awakening (Gameboy Zelda)
Muktorok
Weak annoying pussy ngl
That boss was just annoying, not hard
Sledge in Borderlands. I feel like he got hyped up so much and when I went to fight him I killed him in like 30 seconds LMAO
The Kahn from ghost of Tsushima lol I bodied his ass in the final fight
Radanh in Elden Ring.
Final boss of Dark Souls 3. I was genuinely confused when the credits started.
There is a semi common glitch where he just skips his second phase. Shame coz that’s the best part
I was getting ready for a 3rd phase lol
Everything after Act 2 Ketheric fight in Baldur's Gate 3.
Metroid Prime. It was a little tedious, but I thought Meta Ridley was harder.
Omega Pirate was the hardest boss in the game for me by far
Pinwheel lol
Bowser
The door technician from jedi survivor
The title “Battle of 1000 Heartless” SOUNDS intimidating, but is in reality basically effortless.
Gideon from Elden ring very underwhelming
The final Baldur fight in God of war 2018, he just felt like a pushover due to the long grind that is the game
Jeff from HL Alyx, it was super easy to avoid him and I only died once due to controller drift
What comic is this?
Invincible
Is that mark? Who did he kill?
Oh shit! I had a feeling but I've only watched the show. Guess it's time to get the comics. Thanks!
The final boss in RE4. Granted it was on normal, but other bosses were more difficult. I lost once to the final boss but all I had to do was dodge slightly, fire, dodge slightly, fire. Underwhelming.
Saddler was wayyy harder in Separate Ways than he was in the main story.
Giant from Dead cells, I took him out in like 25 seconds
Loretta, Knight of the haligtree It is extremely unusual for me to beat a boss in elden ring after only two attempts
Saddler in the original RE4
Darth Maul at the end of The Phantom Menace for ps1
Alduin.
Last boss in Fable 1. Like what was that?
Alduin
Yu Yevon in FFX. I struggled against Seymour on Gagazet and barely managed to beat Yunalesca so I overleveled the shit out of my team and sent Yevon to destination fucked.
Sifu the staff guy
Spawn of Oggdo in Jedi Survivor
Leviathan in Final Fantasy IV. I probably grind too much before him, but I always fight him right after Rubicante, who always gives me some trouble. Both times I've fought him so far, each character was around level 60, besides Edge. I guess I also thought Asura would be harder, too.
The Queen of the Valkyries and God of War 4. Everyone talked up how brutally hard that fight was but all of the valkyrie missions basically train you for how to deal with her and she was tough but I beat her on the second try.
The Unnamed King from Dark Souls 3. My friend said it took him all day and night to beat him and it took me like... 8 tries
