What's that video game boss you've never been able to beat, or took you the longest to beat? (sh.itjust.works)

Riku in the first Kingdom Hearts took me so so long. Halfway because of that fucking unskippable cutscene.

Similarly, I was never able to defeat Maleficent, so I never beat the first game at all.

Also, Lion King for the SNES. Technically it wasn't a boss that I couldn't beat, but the goddamn lava level. I had that game my entire childhood and was never able to beat it. When I was 22, I had a bunch of 12 hour overnight shifts with a work buddy who said he could beat it. So we passed it back and forth. It took us a few days and probably a hundred lives. But finally. Finalllllly, we did it.

    Riku is definitely it for me. One of my friends brought me in as a ringer to get past that fight when she was playing the remake and it still took hours of retries despite being able to skip the cut scene.
