The 50 Lamest Video Game Bosses

The Dark Disciple
Game: Ninja Gaiden Black
Year: 2004
Ho-hum. Another dodge-and-flurry boss character, which the Ninja Gaiden series often uses as a crutch. Of course, Ryu Hayabusa has the skills to pay the bills: Simply continue dodging across the screen, wait for The Dark Disciple's attack, and then counter. You'll be rewarded by a fellow ninja hottie staring at your game avatar lovingly and then ditching you...at which point you turn into a dove. Wait, what? What is this, an Old Spice commercial?
Hit, Dodge, Repeat

1st: Master Chief does not take on Tartarus. 2nd: Flood ape? Flood he is not. Did you play the game?

It's not an anticlimactic ending.. the AI just didnt respond properly.

This wasnt the final boss. the final boss was Deadalus. this was the boss for chicago. But Deadalus was the final Boss for the game.

I remember this fight and I almost smashed my TV until I learned about having to hold the block button at the end. I agree it was totally lame.

Where the F- is the boss from Doom 2?

Kind of disagree with you on this one. I thought this Final Boss battle was something different and unexpected.
JJ BANKS December 10th, 2010 at 07:45 PM
I agree. This boss battle was more annoying than it was challenging and rewarding.

I disagree here. This wasn't really meant to be a "battle" in the true video game sense but more of plot point in the story.
