Nice timing. I was just playing a game which made me ragequit 2-4 years ago.

Touhou Labyrinth. Motherfucking Fujiwara no Mokou. No other RPG boss has generated so much salt for me before.

For starters, I was fighting her with a severely underleveled party because I'm a dumbass like that. Secondly, she starts the fight by casting a regen spell on her which (according to the guide I looked up some years later) heals 12K hp per turn. Which means a minimum of 13K damage needs to be done to penetrate her colossal HP pool. (One million, btw.)

Of note, I relied on debuffs to keep her nerfed out. Except she's gonna troll me by spamming a particularly strong attack until the debuffs disappear. So I get my ass handed to me in less than three turns.

Time skip a few months and I try a less painful approach of just beating the shit outta her via attack nukes. Worked well. Then she goes into a berserk state once you drain 300K HP from her. Happy fun times. So I ragequitted after that.

As 2015 for me was my return to Touhou (very long story), I decided to pick up Touhou Labyrinth again. I grinded a bit to get the feel of the game again and rammed my head into Mokou once again.

So much choking ensued, even when I looked up the guide in how to beat her.

It pretty much took a total of 30 hours for me to eventually win. And it was mostly on luck.

The kicker is that you get her to join your party. Which is fun and all, but she's effectively a mage that wants to be a warrior. Pretty strong, but that requires getting a bunch of her stats increased and that's a pain in the ass.

Fuck that boss fight. At least the other notable recruitable boss that you fight in a later floor is more honest about fucking you over. Mokou, on the other hand, is near on the level of Ragu-o-Ragla in terms of bullshittery.

Then again, I was, like 10 levels unprepared. But still. DX

(PS Don't get me wrong, Mokou is like one of my top ten Touhous.)
