That's how I defeated the wolf of sparta, aka kassandra's father. I just sparta kicked him. Like dude, you're literally on top of a hill. Tf do you think I'm gonna do?
I wouldn't really call these "DIRTY Tricks", they are game mechanics that the player needs to do. When you say dirty tricks I think, pushing Atheon off the map in Destiny.
@@BOrrellgod Oh ya, it was so funny when you and your team pulled it off. I swear some of the exploits were almost harder to pull of than the fights themselves.
Didn't want to say this, cause don't want to be "that guy again" that disagrees with some of the things Gameranxers say, but yeah, I was expecting some exploitative or hidden mechanic of how to defeat bosses. Not when is the only way. =P
I remember at the beginning of assassins creed odyssey a guy was refusing to give me money so I was supposed to threaten him by smashing his pottery. I then threatened and then he asked me to leave after that, instead of leaving I murdered him in cold blood even though I didn’t need to. Edit: I know I sound like a crazy sociopath don’t judge me I was just intrested by the fact that you can kill literally any one in the game.
@ jinx cole I was thinking the same. The rocksteady boss fight in the first ninja turtles game came to mind. How you can crouch in that certain spot with raph and keep hitting him without him touching you
I couldn't kill the fire demon in Sekiro so I looked up a way to cheese him and make him fall off a cliff. That was probably more work than actually fighting him.
Yah for me it was 7 spears I kept dying looked up a jump cheese or fireworks but couldnt time it right or his move set changed. Instead i just got good and his attacks clicked then beat him with deflects
Only the ones which were intended by developers were counted , the demon of hatred cheese is not intended it's a bug. Though its one of the delicious one.
It took me about 30-40 tries to beat Demon of hatred legitimately lol. Second playthrough it took 3 tries. Its an awesome fight once you really learn his move set.
One thing I've noticed whenever anyone talks about Psychomantis is that "moving the controller to the other port makes no sense" but if you listen in the game they say he can only read the left part of your brain so move your controller to the right part makes sense at that point
Does it make me a dummy, that the first time I fought The End, I didn't even think about having a drawn out sniper battle? I immediately equipped my thermals and hunted him down with a shotgun. Works pretty well honestly. Just follow his foot prints and half the time he wont even notice you're behind him...
Guess I was really lucky with The End because it only took me like 3 to 4 times to beat him in a sniper battle. It was only years later that I found out that people had gotten really frustrated with The End and found other ways to beat him. Again, must've been lucky.
From what I remember you could save and change the systems clock forward a certain amount of time and when you load your save he'll have died of old age. Edit: I guess I should have watched the video before commenting
A dirty trick to me would be using something the game devs did not intend on being used to defeat a boss. I've used the magic of 3rd person to fire shots at bosses from behind cover & out of their line of sight for example. In the old Armored Core games, you could build a really fast mech, enter the arena and keep running until the other mech ran out of ammo. Then bash the top contenders while they couldn't shoot back. It wasn't uncommon to have a friend driving backward on Mario Kart just to ram head-on into AI drivers to slow them down.
I always took out the end at that cut scene. You can actually kill his bird in the beginning of the sniper battle to because it’s right there on a log close to you and you can eat it. Such a good game I’m going to go ahead and play it tonight
There are a couple of other "bosses" (i.e. larger tougher enemies acting as roadblocks basically) you can cheese too in that game. It's such an open game that anything goes, it's cool like that. Beneath the Pawn Guild, on a large spiral staircase, you'll have to contend with an Ogre, and it's a huge pain in the ass to fight, so the best way to deal with it is bait it into charging at you, and it'll go flying into the pit and die instantly. Sometimes it'll miss a regular attack and fall in there on its own. The bottom is your destination anyway in that quest so you can collect all the drops too. On BBI the Goreclops or whatever its name is, enormous hooded thing, is OP as all hell even if it's New Game +, so a common tactic you'll see people say to use is to hide in one of the alcoves, or high up in that room, and spend an hour shooting it. Or use Throwblasts.
@@jsullivan2112 Well, I was under the impression that ninjas originated in China and that shinobis were Japanese, though I have now found out that while their origin was indeed Chinese, a ninja is functionally the same as the shinobi. You learn something every day 👌
I always felt so dirty when I played MK9 and just spammed fireball on Shao Kahn. I tried so many times to fight him properly, but on my 20th try, I gave up being fancy.
Nah, best way to cheese him is jumping behind him and hitting him with Uppercut. It's the best way cause you can cheese him with any character using this method😁
I'd put the Werewolf from Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines as an honorary mention. The arena is supposed to be a 5 minute long endurance test, but trapping him between the observatory doors and closing them on his body kills him. It just takes a lot of effort.
in sekiro there is another boss where you can make him fall off the edge and you basically don't have to do anything other than stand in the appropriate location.
In Kingdom Hearts 1 fighting the Meleficent Dragon which can be a huge pain in the ass on expert, there's a spot where you can reach and camp out and just wait while your guys slowly drain its health while dying over and over again of course. It's pretty messed up honestly but if you just don't feel like fighting it you can just put the controller down and watch a TV show then come back and it'll be over haha
The only reason I watch this video is to hear falcon. His narration and topics are perfect, it's very rare I find it CZcams channels to be engaging. Good job falcon keep it up!
I like dirty tricks that ain't supposed to happen lol. I just recently beat Death's Door Bow upgrade boss by dropping him off the platform. After 5 attempts at fighting him, it was so satisfying watching his annoying ass fall to his doom.
Actually it's extremely easy to find the end in mgs3 find his footprints and follow the direction they go to find him no problem then sneak up and hold him up to get his dogtags and camouflage than take em down.
This video reminded me of Pao Kai from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic where you had to close the gate his head was sticking in when chasing you, satisfying moment
For the Souls series, I would also included the Pursuer from DS2, since it's suppose to be a normal fight where you dodge and trade blows, but you can just riposte his first attack which stunts him long enough for you to fire balistas aimed perfectly at the position where he starts. Hid did however learn one lesson from the Dragon God, and he will destroy them if you give him a chance.
i vaguely remember this but i always assumed it was part of the design as well similar how to some of the early bosses in dark souls 1 could be drop stabbed for tonnes of damage but was a completely optional way to fight them if you just preferred to dodge them and whittle them down
In "Jet Li: Rise To Honor" the final boss is a headache! But I found out unintentionally that you can cheat when you knock him down. After you knock him down you have to run behind him as he's getting up. As long as you're behind him you can beat the living shit out him and help your friend from falling off the roof with little to no problem.
There's a useful trick you can use to defeat the Cyberdemon easily in Doom 2016. If you shoot the BFG then instantly pull up your weapons wheel and keep it up; it slows down time and actually makes the BFG's projectile heavily damage the Cyberdemon compared to a normal shot without pulling up the weapons wheel after. It's a pretty useful trick if you're struggling with the fight.
Dead Island. Killing the final boss with guns and explosives can take like 20-30 minutes since he can eat so much damage. But if you use Fury you can punch him out in like 30 seconds.
@@gameranxTV Thanks for actually noticing me. And yeah, I was on one of my playthroughs of the game and I just decided to try it out and he went down so much easier.
Borderlands 3, using the alchemist with a transformer shield, then swapping to an unforgiven to get 400% crit damage when the shots blow up. Works on every boss basically
In prince of persia forgotten sands theres a glitch/mistake where u were suppose to get one upgrade but if u die u revive with the upgrade and the same way can upgrade to the fullest. U can get all the upgrades before they were supposed to.
I thought this list was gonna be actual dirty tactics used to fight bosses like the demon of hatred in sekiro not just boss fights that force you to play different or you have to beat in unconventional methods. 😑
By using one of these “dirty tricks” against “The End” boss on MGS 3 you’d be doing yourself a major disservice as “The End” is probably THE BEST boss battle in THE BEST Metal Gear Solid Game. So satisfying, so perfect 👌🏿. That old man can MOVE btw.
I thought this was like when you use electrobullets on Big Daddies in Bioshock, it stuns him making him really easy to beat. Not really just what the games were designed to do....
Gears of War 3 insane difficulty. Queen Myrrha boss fight. If you sit inside the elevator as cover you wont get melted from her beam and a majority of enemies wont target you. Once you stun her, rush to gather Hammer of Dawn ammo andblast her while moving back to the elevator.
dragon's dogma: dark arisen's final boss, both fights, you can literally beat by switching to assassin or any bow-related class and by firing countless amounts of blast arrows at his chest. Daimon(the final boss)gets stunned back-to-back each time you hit him with it. he's supposed to have several phases to him and can do quite a bit of damage to you; there's two fights with him as well but the last fight should be the most difficult one. however, when you decide to make use of said "blast arrows", these fights can be finished within literally 10 seconds.
The End??? Yeah I always made him frustrated by killing his bird. it was a lot easier taking him down after that... plus I felt like cheesing it by killing him earlier or setting the timer to a week later, was kinda cheating. So yeah, blame me if you'd like. But I always shot the bird (and BTW, it was very tasty. Snake told me so himself)
Fight 6 was such a huge deal back in the day. When the game first came out we didn't have Google to search for a solution. When a friend said to change controller ports you laughed....then tried it. Was insane back then, not to mention reading your memory card
4:27 speaking of Metal Gear Solid I’m playing Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain. Still debating how Tretij would react to guns in his face if we were capturing him instead of Quiet. Wouldn’t want it changed tho bc Quiet is cute, being the clingy, overprotective little sister type (in a different way than Nezuko to Tanjiro).
"[The armored warrior] seemingly doesn't want to fight you." This man attacked me for walking down a bridge. I'd personally find help him on his quest if he only asked.
Schwang schwing from MDK2. You take advantage of the fact that he is in a wheelchair to lure him to giant traps... that game was weird but so awesome xD
Sealing Father Elijah in the Sierra Madre vault then hearing his broadcast begging to be let out is the sweetest and dirtiest thing you can do in Fallout New Vegas
I know I have seen this in a similar list, but it's one that I used and really loved. The ancient wyvern in Dark Souls 3 is a great ones shot cheese. But a genuinely tough fight if you don't
One boss that came to mind was also in Resident Evil 5, the giant spider boss. If you shot the red spots on the legs it would collapse temporarily… then you run up to it’s head and throw a grenade in its mouth.
Honorable mention to Lingering Will and using the Fenir Cheat to beat him which is using Donald's come t and then jumping in the air and using an aerial finisher repeatedly on him
I do not see these as 'dirty tricks' as much as seeing these as on the fly reactive decisions to survive, and to me, is always a surprise when that happens. Because of the 'i dont know what i just did....but it worked!' mindblow in result processing
"brittle samurai sword" dude...they cut through steel plates thicker than european armor. Kabuto helmets are twice as thick as European steel helmets, and katana slice into them. It's called "kabutowari."
Most of these are simply the actual way to beat it. I was expecting “standing outside of the arena and firing on the boss before entering in.”
me too
Same here
ok jumping into a wall glitch and hitting the boss from there
Same
BL2 has a bunch of those.
Spartan kicking everyone off cliffs in assassins creed odyssey was very helpful
Yeah maxed out this ability and work like charm
Especially against the god of the agean sea. Parked my ship at a safe distance, swam to their ship then spartan kicked him into the sea. Job’s done.
I wished I didn’t pick the perks I picked to platinum that game 🤦🏻🤣🤣🤣
Indeed, the same with the sheild bash ability
That's how I defeated the wolf of sparta, aka kassandra's father. I just sparta kicked him. Like dude, you're literally on top of a hill. Tf do you think I'm gonna do?
I wouldn't really call these "DIRTY Tricks", they are game mechanics that the player needs to do. When you say dirty tricks I think, pushing Atheon off the map in Destiny.

So in both Little Nightmares and Prey you literally disarm your enemy.

I couldn't kill the fire demon in Sekiro so I looked up a way to cheese him and make him fall off a cliff. That was probably more work than actually fighting him.
I mean sekiro has weird rules about killing bosses by making them fall of cliffs
I tried same thing with the spear guy, he just respawns upon rest

@@chainuser1774 yep - great fight - but the cheese is too funny not to do it.

Not to mention you don't figure this out at all... The game tells you to do this. Figuring out Meryl's codex number early, was more mysterious.
Dirty tricks to defeat a boss implies methods that the developers didn't intend for us to use to win the fight. 🤷

Sekiro had a demon of hatred trick where he'd walk off the edge. I did it in a couple of many playthroughs
Oggdo boggdo should have been on the list. Damn easy cheese imo. Just stand at the entrace of his cave/arena thingy and keep on hitting him.

I think so but me and my dad thought it was a glitch and didn't do it and stayed stuck for like a week 🤣
Says that he can read the left side of your brain.. so once you figure out 'brain' means controller inputs you can put 2 and 2 together
4:27 speaking of Metal Gear Solid I’m playing Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain. Still debating how Tretij would react to guns in his face if we were capturing him instead of Quiet. Wouldn’t want it changed tho bc Quiet is cute, being the clingy, overprotective little sister type (in a different way than Nezuko to Tanjiro).

This man attacked me for walking down a bridge. I'd personally find help him on his quest if he only asked.
Schwang schwing from MDK2. You take advantage of the fact that he is in a wheelchair to lure him to giant traps... that game was weird but so awesome xD
Let’s be honest we all just cheat instead if it that hard
It not cheating, it's intelligence!😉👍
👌
I really love this channel thanks man
Sealing Father Elijah in the Sierra Madre vault then hearing his broadcast begging to be let out is the sweetest and dirtiest thing you can do in Fallout New Vegas
so...the only options how to beat some boss or one of the legitimate options is a trick?...wtf
I feel like i only cheat in skyrim after all this years😂
I never knew you could do that on the queen metroid because i always fail the counter ahahaha. I ended up beating her normally
I know I have seen this in a similar list, but it's one that I used and really loved. The ancient wyvern in Dark Souls 3 is a great ones shot cheese. But a genuinely tough fight if you don't

Sekiro: not ninja but a shinobi, they say it aaaaall the time in the game.
Love you falcon!
One boss that came to mind was also in Resident Evil 5, the giant spider boss. If you shot the red spots on the legs it would collapse temporarily… then you run up to it’s head and throw a grenade in its mouth.
when i saw this video in my feed i instantly thought of the door trick for killing master gee in borderlands 2
Kingdom Hearts Chain of memories and lethal frame, that shit was a life saver.
Honorable mention to Lingering Will and using the Fenir Cheat to beat him which is using Donald's come t and then jumping in the air and using an aerial finisher repeatedly on him
Saw Ryo from Shenmue, you made my day!
I do not see these as 'dirty tricks' as much as seeing these as on the fly reactive decisions to survive, and to me, is always a surprise when that happens. Because of the 'i dont know what i just did....but it worked!' mindblow in result processing
Just started playing the original Prey last week for the first time. Gonna be using that trick for the boss!!
"brittle samurai sword" dude...they cut through steel plates thicker than european armor. Kabuto helmets are twice as thick as European steel helmets, and katana slice into them. It's called "kabutowari."
