** Alexander the IV is absolutely horrible. Was the original Alexander not annoying enough? Try fighting him in a tight spike-filled chamber on two tiny platforms, segregated by a wall of spikes! This is all on top of the massive amount of Angers, which turns it into miserable BulletHell. In addition, you're stuck with a Hokage that dies in three hits. The final boss is nowhere near as awful as this.

** The Guardian of the Land of Darkness, Herodotus, could also qualify. The boss of The Maya, Ponce de Leon, takes a ''lot'' of coordination and luck to defeat, especially if you aren't playing as a magic-based class, as he lays fire traps down everywhere and constantly rams you for massive damage. Herotodus, on the other hand, is a [[GiantMook giant]] AsteroidsMonster, thus the HP/MP refilling strategy works especially well in his case. The pieces transform into Gravisors when defeated in their smallest form, but those are relatively easy to dodge considering you're already running around dodging the split slimes. Considering he's the boss of the most challenging area of the game, it's quite a letdown.
