The hardest boss you never beat

[Magus]

Is there any boss you just could never manage to beat? Who was it and what game were they from?

Mine would definitely have to be the secret boss Minerva from Crisis Core: FFVII. She's the hardest boss I've ever had to play against in the series.
I have max stats and own all the best items... but so does she. In addition, Minerva has 10,000,000 HP, 999999 MP, immune to all status effects, elemental attacks are cut by half, has a 2 second action time and can use an attack that removes the effect of Phoenix Down stressed

The goddess of the planet is brutal.

When attempting to get the final Summon FFT's Deep Dungeon or whatever it was called, I always tried to keep my Summoner alive long enough to learn the skill. Unfortunately, by doing so and not focusing on defeating my opponents, I kept getting defeated because I wanted the Zodiac spell. I could have won the battle, but it would have cost me the spell, so I ended up doing neither.

Most of the midranged bonus bosses in Monster Arena. I just couldn't be assed to ubber-level enough to deal with them. I got my a** handed back to me by some tripped up version of a Roc, and called it quits there and then with the MA as far as battling the bosses were concerned.

[Time priestess]

Most of optional bosses, didnt care to level up enough to beat them.

[To the End of Sin]

Omega, from FFV

healed by most elements, has auto reflect, an attack that will remove a party member from the battle entirely, insane evasion stat

he's a tough cookie

Azi Dahaka from X-2. It took me three times to beat it then i walked and there was another one O_o; sucks to be me right now... the natural for YRP isn't 9999 so you have to boost it with Crystal Bangle or Something and I didn't have 3 of those and also no sense of mind of strategy at the time.

The FFXI infamous airship battle. Its not just the fact that it could be incredibly hard (you had a cap on your lvl, so you were limited in gear and abilities and you were timed and had to fight 3 bosses back to back), but at the time, if you lost (and my group did like 6 times) you would be out a ton of money and exp. Now you dont lose any exp and the items dont cost as much razz but itll forever be my worst nightmare.

The Alexander fight was really tough also..people were complaining about how easy that expansion had been and then you walk into that last boss fight and it was really tough even for the most merited and well geared of people. There wasnt enough mp in the world to keep my DDs healthy. All in good fun though. Well worth it for the music and the perty cool Cutscene.

Still can't beat Zeromus in FF4 to save my life. Big Bang kills all but 2 people outright and the poison kills the other 2 in about 5 sec. I beat all the treasure monsters in the Lunar Subterran and I still get my a** handed to me.

Wait, you never finished PM?

emerald weapon and seymour flux

emerald weapon was harder

[moonlight293]

FF8 Omega Weapon. I never was able to get my hands on any Holy Wars- so I was always just slaughtered within 5 minutes of fighting him neutral

And Penance, but that's because I havn't really bothered with him yet. I might get him one day when I organise myself and max out my characters luck XP (which takes AAAGGGGEEESSS)

Ive finished everything except Rank10 sandy and windy and I havent been able to get on so Im now behind on WoTG missions. Ive done everything else ZM, CoP, TOAU, divine might, apocalypse nigh, captain in assaults etc etc.

I just found CoP to be hard, like everybody used to say..before SE nerfed it and all those people who used to say it was hard now say it was perty easy, the people who couldnt do it were just gimp. :<

...Sephiroth, It's impossible! He does this super nova attack and obliterates everything, HOW?!

[Dusk16]

Omega Weapon from FF8 and the boss right after you get Shiva in FF10.
