History YMMV / Sonny

* {{Narm}}: Parodied. See AmbiguouslyGay above. [[Cult Priests]] also deserve a mention.

** Most of the Tunnel of Illusion in Sonny 2. Among the things you'll meet: strange beasts, a {{Kitsune}}, a hard-to-kill cockroach, an evil ripoff of Sonny, a magical gorilla, a werewolf, a [[KillerRabbit pink bunny]], a flamboyantly-dressed zombie that gives acid trips, and finally a hydra-like creature. This is due to a gas in the tunnels making the protagonists hallucinate.
* BreatherBoss: Versu the Corruptor, the TrueFinalBoss of Sonny 2, is surprisingly easy compared to the horribly difficult Twin Guardians encountered two battles before.

** The Shamans of Blades from the first game. They're fast, have a lot of health (even though they're Assassin class!), can heal a lot of health in one go due to their high strength, and hurt ''a lot''.

** An [[ShockAndAwe Electric Psychological]] can be very powerful. The bread and butter spell of the build, Shock Therapy, not only deals heavy damage but also debuffs enemies, and Electric Storm restores the Focus you waste on Shocking right back. There's also a skill providing a substantial passive increase for Electric damage, and Wraith Form gives so much speed that almost every spell crits for massive damage. In addition, weapons providing massive boosts to electric damage are ''everywhere'', as opposed to weapons with boosts to dark damage, which are very few and far between (and none at all in the endgame). The AchillesHeel of a Psychological is the [[SquishyWizard health]], but the Force of Will shield and the aforementioned Wraith Form speed boost take care of that - most enemy attacks miss and those that hit get absorbed. Putting enough points into the dark spec to achieve Psychopath form results in incredible pain for the enemies if you assume both forms at once.
* GoddamnedBats: potentially almost any enemy on higher difficulty levels. The monsters have just as many tricky spells as you do, and even a pair of lowly prison guards can keep one of your characters stun-locked for the entire battle. And that's not getting into all the [[StoneWall healing and ablative shields]] being thrown around...
** Frost Zombies in both games. In the first, they can use an ice move that stuns you, allowing the rest of the mooks to wail on you. In the sequel, they're ''even worse''- they have a move that deals damage over time and slows you down, allowing them to get extra turns on you, and an ability that makes them regenerate a considerable amount of health per turn and cannot be dispelled! These two abilities make them take an annoyingly long time to kill.
** The Android Guards from Sonny 2. They low hp is deceptive as they have ''two'' variants of ablative shields (one absorbs 20x their strength, the other absorbs '''40x'''), debuff your attacks to make you deal less damage to their shield, make you take increased damage, and at low health get into a health regen mode while being stunned- better hope their shields aren't up then.
* {{Narm}}: Parodied. See AmbiguouslyGay above. Priests also deserve a mention.

--> "We, the elders, deem you dead."
** There's also Sonny's SlowNo as he catches the tape [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment in slow motion.]]
* NightmareFuel: Some of the skill descriptions for a Shadow Psychological can be this.
* ThatOneBoss: Baron Brixius, in both games:
** In Sonny 1, only your GuestStarPartyMember can do enough damage to get the Baron's HP down to 0 in anywhere under 100 turns, which means that Sonny and Veradux are pretty much stuck with the jobs of keeping him healthy and helping him do even ''more'' damage. [[spoiler:Then you get {{Player Punch}}ed when said GuestStarPartyMember becomes the FinalBoss ''in the very next fight'' (thankfully he's not hitting for thousands upon thousands of damage anymore).]]
** He's even ''worse'' in Sonny 2. First of all, you don't get a GuestStarPartyMember to help you. Furthermore, the Baron has some ''very'' annoying new tricks. First and foremost among these is [[ThatOneAttack Tick Tock]], a debuff which lasts for 10 turns, takes away 10% of the victim's life every turn, ''and reduces all healing done to them by 50%.'' '''And it can't be dispelled. And just to make this ''worse'', Baron Brixius ''loves'' to use it as much as he can... which is about every 6 turns.''' And he has just as much health as he did the last time (48,269... and that's in the ''[[VideoGameDifficultyTropes easy]]'' mode.) Your only hope is to whittle down Baron Brixius's Focus to near nothing in order to force him to use Deep Burning, a move which fully restores his Focus at the cost of about 10% of his life. And once he can no longer use Deep Burning, he starts wasting his turns with actions which do nothing but weaken him. Good luck pushing him to that point, though - unless you've maxed out Disrupt (a move that you can only get with the Biological class,) '''''you'll need it.''''' [[note]]Oh, and just to insult you, Baron Brixius is an imitation of Creator/TimCurry, and the epitome of AmbiguouslyGay. Who the hell is his voice actor?!?!?[[/note]]

** The Blood Hounds in Hew are extremely painful and pretty tough.

** Look closer, and you'll see that beneath the outfit, he's just another golem. [[FridgeBrilliance Hence,]] [[FridgeBrilliance ''Rock'']][[FridgeBrilliance star.]]

** Or he ends up [[EpicFail casting tick-tock on himself and killing himself in 10 turns]]

** On the other hand, if you ''have'' maxed out Disrupt, and have Integrity at at least level 2, Baron Brixius is a total joke. Put it on your action bar 4 times, use it nonstop, and watch the Baron eat himself alive.
** The Psychological class can also handle the Baron pretty well, as Traumatize strips away his focus and Implosion vastly increases the damage he takes from Deep Burning.
** The Hydraulic class has Regulate, a no-cost, no-cooldown ability that kills 30 focus per hit.
** The Biological class has Disrupt in the second game as well, capable of killing 100 focus with one hit.
** Sometimes Brixius will get bored of repeatedly casting Tick Tock on you and your teammates and will [[EpicFail inflict it]] [[BloodKnight upon]] [[CombatSadoMasochist himself.]]

* ThatOneBoss: Baron Brixius in the second game. Most other enemies in the game at that point have had health levels- at most- in the mid-to-high thousands. How much does the Baron have? ''[[MarathonBoss 82058]]''. The boss fight can be nigh impossible without the right build/ ammount of LevelGrinding.
