Yeah, "improved" sounds innocent enough, but doesn't quite do the fact justice that the fight now demands minute planning and quite a bit of luck. It took me a week to beat him.
In the vanilla game, Kangaxx had me frustrated for a long time, before i finally understood enough of the game mechanisms to beat him.
Edit: The poison encounter from the BG2 tactics mod is also pretty brutal...

I'm about to fight Fatman on EE now. I'll try not to cry.
Question... are there any rations at all on this difficulty? I can't find any at all.

The final boss at the end of Metroid prime was very hard (Queen Metroid?).
I gave up in despair playing Ninja Gaiden at the dinosaur (or is it dragon) boss.

I think I spent 6 hours fighting him alone...also dont think there are any...which is especially painfully considering a hit from anything = FISSION MAILED screen.

Kangaxx is one of those ones that seem impossible, until you know the trick (using an item or spell that protects from Imprisonment), at which point he's a walkover
Hell, everything in the tactics mod is "pretty brutal". Never even bothered trying to defeat half the things in there. I'm just not really a fan of things that are tough purely for the sake of being tough. The only BG2 "improved" encounter I really enjoyed was Ascension, simply cos the climax of a game like that deserves to be nigh on impossible.

There isn't. European Extreme is Extreme without rations. The only way to replenish your health is after a boss battle. Fatman is a total bastard to fight on this. I can't imagine Vamp being much better.
Can Mile High Club from COD 4 be classed as a sort of boss? That nearly made me weep.

Vamp will take many tries to figure out his attacks. Unless you sell out and watch the youtube clip on how to fight him. The last part where he goes apesheet insane I finally solved with some C4 and luring him by hanging of the ledge.

Done Vamp, but 25 Metal Gear RAYS can't be fun. Not looking forward to it.
For another hard boss, Saren in Mass Effect on insane with a new character is a hell of a hard time.

RAYs are pretty easy once you learn the patterns. It's just the endurance part that's hard. You get lulled in by the repetition and then you make one mistake and the bastards crush you.
Even harder is the thing after. The choke scene with Solidus. I hope you have thumbs of steel.

5. Ultima Weapon: FF8. I'm surprised I even beat him at 9.
4. Necron: FF9. Never managed to beat him.
3. Emerald Weapon: Tried once, failed. Started new file, got bored.
2: Ruby Weapon: Got killed within two turns.
1: Yellow Devil: Mega Man 1.

The weapons from Final Fantasy seven, once you figure them out, theyre easy, but they still take like an hour to beat due to all the animations you have to watch for summonings.
The purple secret boss guy from legend of the seven stars and the mecha spider from Final Fantasy 12.

Night Terror from SC 3. Ugh, cheap bastard. Also, Frank and the 5 policemen from Earthbound gave a pretty big challenge to me.
Put on as many status-negation things as you can, be around level 50, and I personally would bring Steiner and a healer. Maybe synthesize ethers too, if you can.

Agreed, they're not hard, just time consuming. Remind me of the old Luclin era bosses from EQ. Not particularly complicated, or hard to beat, they just took bloody ages.
To me, a really hard boss isn't one where it's just a matter of whacking away at a huge bag of HPs for half an hour, nor one where you have to figure out the right method, which then trivialises it.

Then what do you consider...truly hard?

Stuff like the Improved Ilyich Mod I mentioned earlier.

Yes! Lu Bu in DW3 was absolutely ridiculous! I remember you could go in with a 4th weapon and still get your butt handed to you.
I remember having a tough time with the lady in Purple too.
I always had trouble with Duriel from Act 2 in D2.
The Butcher in D1 was one of the reasons why I never really played much of that game.
