there was a game for the gamecube called Baten Katos, and on this game was a boss named general fadroh. the reason he was so tough was because he had an ability that he liked to play called the orb of annihilation, which made his attacks deal over 1000 damage (as compared to 200 with his regular attacks). my party members tended to have about 2000 health each, so he was able to wipe me out pretty quickly for the longest time. after a month of trying, I gave up completely for about 4 years. one week, I started playing it again, and I beat him with a stroke of pure luck (he never played orb of annihilation) 2 weeks later. that was the hardest boss that I have ever faced to date.
