7 Anti-Climax Boss Fights That Weren't Worth the Build Up

  My most disappointing boss "battle" was with Lucien in Fable 2. The guy who killed your sister, the guy who killed your dog, the guy whose head you're after the entire game, and once you finally reach him, he talks for less than a minute and you just shoot him. And if you don't do it, your party member Reaver shoots him. The word anticlimactic doesn't even come close to describe the disappointment of that end boss.

  &quot;The only thing higher than his cheek bones is his opinion of himself.&quot;<br><br>Now to be fair, that can be applied to ALL elves in the Elder Scrolls

  Now do the opposite; boss fights that came out of nowhere! No story nor level design build-up, just straight up hard bosses that came out of the left field.

  When I fought the Mist Noble I killed her and saw the mist and I was like &quot;Oh here we go she&apos;s gonna spawn multiple clones of herself and I have to guess the real one in order to kill her for realsies&quot; but then the mist fades and i just went oh i guess I&apos;m done here, and then I awkwardly shuffle away.

  My favorite goof: Sekiro fans were at one point collectively pretending that the Mist Noble was the hardest boss in the game - they were hyping him up to ridiculous levels in discussions, making memes about him and write &quot;strategy guides&quot; for the boss fight. All of the guides were very long - at first they were written to be believable, but later on usually descended into the absurd (such as claiming that the Noble uses an uzi in the 69th phase of the fight, etc). A new player who is trying to avoid spoilers would obviously not open those posts or read them that far.<br><br>There were some newbies who fell for it and crapped their pants as soon as the name &quot;Mist Noble&quot; popped up on the screen. ;D

  In Skyrim you can&apos;t forget my wife&apos;s first play through where she stabbed Alduin with Dagon&apos;s Razor and the dragon died in one hit thanks to the Razor&apos;s instant kill effect going off.

  I knew Skyrim would be in here - although quite frankly, Mike, you made it even more anticlimactic by Fus-Ro-Dah-ing him off the balcony - you don&apos;t even get his armour now.

  My personal anti-climax boss fight was when I quit my first job. She didn’t even show up!

  In Arkham Knight, I&apos;m more dissapointed in a Deathstroke &quot;battle&quot;. You just destroy a few tanks, destroy his tank and then... Batman just launch-punches him and that&apos;s it!

  Shadow of Mordor comes to mind: who would have thought Sauron was such a push-over all along

  If you guys think the Human-Reaper Larva was anticlimactic, I can&apos;t wait to hear what you consider the final confrontation with the Illusive Man in Mass Effect 3 to be.
