Alright, so this time it's my worst boss fight? Mmm...only 1 comes to mind this time...wait, no, 2.

1-Polaris, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor 2. It has 3 phases. Phase 1, it can attack any of your teams and hit them 1-7 times with an Almighty attack based on the remaining number of his Elite Mooks which he summons at the beginning of the fight. Everytime you defeat a mook, Polaris loses a resistance and with some loses a skill, which is practically necesary as he recovers like 700 hp every fight. The mooks themselves are pussies, and Polaris isn't really hard to beat.

Then comes phase 2. Polaris summons tons of very powerful demons, and alters the defeat conditions based on the ending. In some, you have to protect a civilian that dies in 1 hit. In others, the MC dies, you lose. In others, you have to protect a teammate...who is stuck on the ground. The demons here are strong, but Polaris himself is exactly like in Phase 1, only with all his health back again.

Phase 3 depends on the ending. His arms A and B count as enemies, and each give their skills (which are OP) to Polaris while they live. And they each attack individually too, and 1 summons demons. Polaris can attack you 3 times per turn in battle, and can charge a laser beam that insta-kill almost anything.

Why I hate it: Polaris is way too fucking weak. So much, it's disapointing. Phase 1, the only hard thing is that he gets too many turns, and has that almighty attack, but it only hurts if you haven't killed many of his mooks, which you have to do practically. Phase 2, just as weak as 1, only dificult thing is the demons he summons. Phase 3, the demons will practically never reach you, and Polaris himself doesn't have neither much health nor deals much damage, except for the laser beam which is pretty easy to avoid. One can easily kill him in 2 battles before he even is half-way charging it. I expected more.

2-Arishok, Dragon Age 2. Long story short, I wanted a fight like in the Destiny trailer, fight him head-on like a badass in a pretty epic duel. Reality: I have to run until he hits a wall, then attack him, then run away until he hits a wall, attack, repeat. A bullfight, not an epic fight. Even worse is that the fight is very easy as long as you don't stop running. A mage can kill the Arishok in 2 minutes, a Spirit Healer in 2.5 minutes tops.
