The Valkyries in God of War

Every God of War game has offered the best fighting experience to the fans. The 2018 God of War was no less, as it provided some great fights to the raging God of War, Kratos. However, the 2018 action adventure offered hell to the players. We are not talking about Helheim, where Kratos went to save his ill son, Atreus. But we are talking about the Valkyries.

Kratos embarks on a journey to free the Valkyries, warrior women with wings, from Odin’s Vault. However, a curse has corrupted these mighty female warriors. So, releasing them would lead to the game’s most brutal fights. All eight Valkyries would be challenging for players to beat. However, The Valkyrie Queen Sigrun would be a pain that will make you regret picking up this fight and quest.

Charon in Hades

We all have heard this saying that one mustn’t take things from others without their permission. However, the 2020 action RPG Hades will grind this lesson in anyone’s head. This game already offers nightmares to players as they play as Zagreus, the son of Hades, God of Death. Zagreus is on a journey to escape the Underworld to reach Mount Olympus. But the actual hell in the game is Charon.

Charon is the boatman of the river Styx, who ferries dead souls across the river to the Underworld. However, he also acts as the game’s merchant, offering items to Zagreus in return for in-game currency obol. However, there is a pouch called Charon’s Obol, and taking it would anger the boatman. Suddenly, he would teleport players to an unknown location and fight Zagreus with a barrage of attacks.

The surprise fight and barrage of attacks could be misery for players. Further, Charon has a huge health bar, so players might have to use many resources they bought from the boatman earlier. But defeating him would award the player a membership card, which offers a 20% discount on all items at Charon’s shop.

Big Daddies in Bioshock

Bioshock has been a favorite for those who love action. The video game has many enemies, and players would have only one thought: to go on a killing rampage. However, the game offers an enemy you shouldn’t mess with, Big Daddy.

Big Daddies are genetically engineered humans with their bodies grafted to massive armored atmospheric diving suits. Further, these characters also possess a huge drill, rivet gun, rocket launcher, and even an ion laser sometimes. Fighting these giant-engineered humans is unnecessary, or you will regret fighting them.

Honey Badgers in Far Cry 4

Far Cry 4 is the sequel to the fan-favorite Far Cry 3. Like other Far Cry games, this one is full of terrorists and enemies to fight. Further, this fourth installment also has the mythical beasts called Yetis to fight. However, fighting these is nothing compared to the Honey Badgers in this video game.

In Far Cry 4, you can hunt down wild animals, but you should avoid Honey Badgers. These might look like adorable little creatures you can take down with your hand or a knife. But it would be a wrong choice cause they are agile and fast. Further, a disturbed Honey badger won’t let you go. And it will be a fight to the death for either the animal or you.

Tonberry in the Final Fantasy series

Final Fantasy is one of the oldest video game series. The games improved over time, including the enemies and fight experience. The game series has featured titanic enemies to fight, like the giant turtle Adamantoise in Final Fantasy 15. However, the enemy, facing whom will be the most regrettable action would be Tonberry.

Tonberry is an adorable name, and the character also looks as cute as its name. However, these tiny green beings can be an absolute menace to face. Tonberry’s special attack, Chef’s Knife, can instantly kill or significantly damage the player. Further, attacking these creatures can be problematic as they counter with Karma, which damages the players based on the number of enemies they slayed.

Monks in Tomb Raider II

Tomb Raider games have always been among the best action adventures. The game always offered great action and adventures to blow the player’s mind. The early games had great action, like Lara Croft killing men with guns, tigers, and even dinosaurs! However, the most regrettable and challenging enemy was Tomb Raider II.

Lara Croft has to retrieve an ancient artifact Talion from Tibetian Foothills. However, the Barkhang Monks would be protecting this artifact. Facing these monks would be the most regretful act in your life.

But these monks won’t let Lara concentrate on solving puzzles to reach the artifact. They will keep attacking until Lara dies. Further, the game’s official strategy guide suggests gamers reload their game upon encountering  Barkhang Monk.

Shadow Warrior 3 is the third installment in the Shadow Warrior series, released in March 2022. The game sets the players on a journey to seek a way to kill a dragon that has wiped out most of the global civilization, and demons have taken over the world. However, facing the dragon might not be as threatening as rabbits.

Killing creatures in this video game drops items for players. However, the game also features adorable small rabbits that players can kill. But killing these little animals won’t drop any items. However, killing rabbits can lead to a fight you would like to avoid. Killing rabbits summons the Bunny Lord, a giant monster-like creature that will chase you to eliminate you.
