Another funny one from Elden ring is the mimic tear, un-equip your weapons before going in and they’ll fight you with their fists… while you just re-equip your weapons

Once in horizon zero dawn. I was fighting big mech boss. I was having hard time as I was under level. I didn’t want to go back. I figured out way to hide in this area. Dwindled the health down patiently.

Fun Fact : In MGSV, you have to do the Quiet mission twice to see the actual ending, and the supply drop trick only works the first time. The second time around the difficulty is increased, so if you call a supply drop on Quiet’s location, she just dodges it. It shows that the entire supply drop trick isn’t exactly a design flaw, but something the devs intended to keep in the game.

How about Far Cry 4 where you beat the entire game by enjoying some crab rangoon.

There's also the classic one for Mega Man 1, against the Yellow Devil, when you can simply launch an electric attack and pause the game repeatedly to make the hit box damage it over and over, it's so chessy but that boss is really fricking hard

It's always amusing to find cheap tricks for hard bosses, like using the fishing rod against Ganondorf in 'Twilight Princess'. One of my favorite cheeses was the third boss in 'Deus Ex: Human Revolution'. He's supposed to be your mirror match, as augmented and as powerful as you in every way (and if you got the firmware update, the first half of the fight you're fighting with your own augments having been disabled). As a boss, he is also immune to the game's quick takedown attacks. However, as you're maneuvering around the room there are a number of short walls that create hallways and obstacles within the stage that the boss can vault over. During this animation, however, he suddenly becomes very vulnerable to a number of alternative tactics... including the aforementioned quick takedowns. It was the most hilarious thing to me to carefully position myself, watch this guy vault over a wall to get to me... and seeing a short animation of Jenson just decking him across the face and knocking him out cold, immediately ending the fight. I don't know if they ever patched that out or not, but boy was it satisfying.

I remember the Deathstroke final battle in Arkham Knight, got him to drive in circles around a little block and every time I'd peak round the corner I'd chip at his health little by little, then I'd run around the other side of the block.

In GTA 3, there's a mission where Donald Love asks you to escort a securicar. Loads and loads of enemies in vehicles try to take that car down. And it's your mission to protect that car so it can get to the destination "safely". The cheese is to let the securicar go on it's own. The game only recognizes the securicar in the distance. So, the enemies are not rendered, so, it protects itself if you don't follow it.

In Super Mario Brothers 3, during the final fight with Bowser, one can just use the Tanuki Suit to turn into a statue when he jumps then stay crouched after changing back. Bowser can't hurt Mario anymore with his jump attacks so Mario can just stay huddled in one spot while the floor is gradually chipped away, moving only when the last floor bricks crumble away, letting the Koopa King drop himself into the abyss without doing a thing to him.

The best combo for the carpenter is to use his own ability against him with time stop. Keeps them in place so they still do damage and he'll just stand in it and die.

I love that boss fight & 1st interaction with Quiet. I didn't know that you could jus knock her out with a well placed care package. Thinking about it, what's meant to be this intense battle with this badass photosynthesis lady, it's seems like a calculated move Snake really would make cause he's Big Boss.

I wouldn't count the trick on the Godskin duo to be cheesing. It's finding a viable strategy, using the tools the game gives you.

The best is when a boss gets stuck in the map and is in the falling animation so you get some unbelievable amount of combos in.

Zelda: "You're a real hero!" *Link like a few minutes earlier hiding in a corner and crouching hugging a corner for dear life while doing the stabby stab*

Sekiro, demon of hatred and his bs aoe jump attack, whilst having 3 phases!! A boss I definitely felt deserved cheesing

Emerald Weapon in FF7. Equip "W-Summon", and pair "Knights of the Round" with "HP Absorb", then "Counter" with "Mime", use "Knights of the Round" twice, and put down the controller. It takes a lot of prep, but it makes one the hardest fights in the game to one of the easiest. The "Underwater" materia isn't even necessary if your magic stat is high enough

The Pain in MGS3 can also be easily cheesed by just sitting in the water and diving down to dodge all his attacks

Borderlands 2 should be on this list! You can cheese quite a few bosses. Probably one of my favourites is cheesing Voracidous the Invincible, where you can grenade jump on the rocks surrounding the arena, fall into a hole, and somehow get "under the map" through a glitch that's left unpatched. This way, you can just shoot the boss from underneath without it hurting you XD

in Final Fantasy Tactics there is a boss named Gaff Gafgarion. He was previously part of the team until he become an enemy. You can just remove all his inventory before the moment he turn sides and he will be pretty weak(and useless) during the fight

This is the most energy and enthusiasm I've heard Falcon have in his voice in a while. lol Thanks for all the dope videos @Gameranx !

Using the knife on Krauser in Resident Evil 4 still works even on the hardest difficulty

Gameranx..I've got 3 words for you all.. I absolutely, positively, most definitely frickin love you guys!!! Much love from the UK!!

Always a fan of watching these lists, but I gotta say you brought back some real nostalgia this time. I remember playing double dragon on my original gameboy, and coming across this trick completely on accident. Never stopped using it after that 😂

I remember playing through just cause 3 and as soon as I reached the final boss I just realized I could just grapple him to the ground and reel it in to destroy the helicopter instantly and as such I have never fought them properly ever since

Secret to finding rogue lego is to walk around barefoot, part of the process to make lego causes it to gain an attraction to the soft fleshy underside of a foot. Within a week you'll probably have "found" the wandering block if it hasn't already rattled into the vacuum cleaner.

"Stand aside Chosen One, we normal people got this!" Damn, never in my life I will ever thought about this.

In Armored Core 2 instead of trying to beat the anyone head on in the arena with skill or firepower, I would just build a really fast mech that could fly and use overboost forever to dodge everything from a distance, then wait for the opponent to run out of ammo.

Love the content guys! I get so happy when a new video comes out, keep up the awesome stuff!

The Ludwig Trick in Super Mario World. Get to Ludwig (Fourth Boss) with a fire flower and you can pelt him with fire balls. You have to get close enough so the fireballs actually damage him but not too close to spawn him. If done right, Ludwig will be defeated before he is able to moves.

1:20 funnily enough, I had absolutely no problems with these two. I was, of course, running a Cold-blooded Samurai build (Bleed/Cold Uchigatana in my main hand, Moonlight Katana in my off-hand), but I melted through them without needing sleep pots

Elden Ring is the gameranx lists MVP lol

Fun fact: You can only defeat Quiet in the first fight with that strat. The second however is an [EXTREME] and she'll super jump to another location before it hits her.

I seen a couple people getting kind of serious about Not cheesing your way through fights. I think it’s really important to not take things too seriously sometimes. Whether you cheese your way through, or beat the boss organically… you’re still having fun either way and that’s why games are a thing in the first place. Whatever you gotta do to feel accomplished… do it!

Not having Divine Divinity 2: Original Sin in here is almost a crime...The whole concept of the fight system is more or less based on finding new and better ways to cheese your enemies.

Killing Commander Niall by shooting him through a hole in the wall with poison and blood arrows was definitely my least proud moment in Elden Ring.

In the Borderlands 2 Marcus's Mercenary Day dlc pack, when you fight the end-boss snowman, stand behind the elevator and he can't hurt you while you take him down easily.

In Soulcalibur II, Nightmare's forward forward vertical attack can cheese the entire game. It's a delayed attack so the AI throws a premature Guard Impact every time.

Lol Just imagine Darth Malak saying to himself,"The heck's he doin'over there?"

I remember cheesing multiple bosses in the VOG of the original Destiny. We would use grenades which had a minor physics effect and gradually shoved the bosses of the edge of the map, causing a despawn - which counted as a victory!

Entertaining and informative. I actually just jump attacked shadow link in LoZ2 and it seemed to work well. Just gotta time hitting his exposed head since his body was blocked by the shield. It may be that he would try to see you jumping at him as an opening to and let his guard down. Either way, he wasn't that much of a challenge to me back in the day. I used to be able to 1 life the original Castlevania also.

Is sleeping the Godskin Duo really “cheesing”? Sleep is an intended mechanic in the game. Some bosses become very trivial when you sleep them, but that’s not really abusing an unintended way to fight the boss. Sleep is a mechanic. CCing one of the bosses in a dual boss fight seems like a legit strat not a “cheese”.

The Psycho Mantis fight in Metal Gear Solid 2nd controller slot trick is by far the best of the best cheese moments

ah really glad you said that about the paladin armor vs the skyrim boss. i love this armor

The one that sticks out for me is in metal gear 5. Theres that big giant dude who is on fire and your supposed blow up water tanks or whatever but you can just wait until you have the ability to call your base and have them change the weather, you just have it rain and he is immediately dead

In Days Gone there’s a mission where you test out napalm molotovs on a horde boss which is the 2nd biggest horde I think. You can get into a house and when you do the entrance gets blocked so the horde can’t come in. Then you just go up to the balcony where they still can’t get you and then you just mow then down

In Halo infinity, you can preload the Blademaster Jega Rdomnai spawn area with explosive, electric barrels before picking up the holo disk. Make the fight a lot easier.

The old Crusader games had a boss which was an absolute nightmare to fight fairly. I believe it was Chairman Draygan, or "RoboDraygan", in No Regret - I only remember being on the receiving end of lots of rocket volleys, though the videos I've seen suggest a much lower rate of fire. Maybe I had a DOSBox config issue, was playing on a different difficulty, or just using a different version. In any case, you could place a Detpac (a remotely detonated bomb) in the doorway before engaging. This would prevent the game from closing the door behind you during the lead-up cutscene, letting you leave the confined room you're supposed to fight in (or cross to access a robot to fight for you). The boss was too big to fit through the doorway but he'd come over to try. To keep things fair most enemies near to or off the edge of the screen weren't allowed to shoot you, so you just had to back far enough away and you were completely safe to pick him off at your leisure - including setting off the Detpac just to add a little injury to the insult.

The biggest cheese I think simply based on the strength of the boss and the amount the cheese trivializes it is Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen, using the strider class equip the skill fivefold flurry and some blast arrows and shoot til your hearts content. He normally one hit kills you and if you happen to do enough damage to him he’ll run away, but with this he cannot run away and a volley of arrows just juggles him for ever

In the old Mortal Kombat games doing a jump kick over and over is basically the only way to beat the game, or picking a character with a teleportation move, and doing it over and over

Love your content can't wait for weird gaming stories for this month

So glad you reminded me of the crouch corner trick in LoZ II. That fight was sooooo hard and my 6 yo self couldn't beat it until I figured out the crouch corner. It was a desperate move that just happened to work. Totally underrated game for its time.

The best cheese in a boss fight I found was in borderlands 2 when you fight the bunker. Your supposed to go up on this platform with lasers, explosives, and a bunch of spawning enemies; instead all you need to do is stick down by the elevator you're supposed to enter after beating him and you can take pot shots at the boss all day with almost no chance of him or anyone else touching you.

Another good mention is one of TLOZ Wind Waker bosses. The giant flower boss, Kalle, in the lost woods for some reason instead of fighting him normally by cutting vines and exposing his weak point you can just pour some forest water on it aaaaand it kills it instantly. Why? Hell if I know

Sleeping Dogs, bringing a gun or a car to a kung fu fight haha. We happy few, loading up on infinite amount of berries outside towns, never go hungry again ( I wish the game would have turned out better). Enslaved odyssey to the west, stunning the hound multiple times in a boss fight making it look like a joke, the only thing left is button mashing. I think that's all I can think of I might return when I remember what I did on console.

Metal gear Solid 1 was for me the best CHEESE Boss Psycho. In this time youve had not internet or Tipss sites, only the hope some magazine give you the tipp. You cant beat Psycho because he always knows your move, but if you change the controller from Dock1 to Dock2 he didnt know your moves anymore and you can beat him. This was so amazing.

the old sniper guy in mgs3, you could set your ps2 system time a year in the future and you'll come back into the save finding him dead

Genshin Impact, defeating high level guards from far away with a bow and arrow. "I shot an arrow into the air, It falls to earth, I know not where."

"How many bosses do you know of who take a nap?" Me who throws a dozen of sleep status effects at bosses in Persona 5:- 🤣☺️😴

Darth Malak has always been a chump. Dude not only had a starship attack the ship revan was on, but also had indirectly led a jedi strike team led by bastilla to reinforce killing him and Revan still survived lmao.

ALL of these had me laughing soo hard lol

The secret ultimate boss in Borderlands 1, Crawmerax. Thing is, if you hide behind a specific lip in the ground, he cannot reach you with any of his attacks, but you can. Use a weapon with regenerating ammo, or one of the alien tech energy rifles, and you can eventually whittle him down.

Super Metroid: I don't remember the name of this boss, but he's about halfway through the game. The walls of the boss area have light receptacles that can be shot out. After doing that you have the boss pick you up with his grab move. While the boss has a hold of you, you shoot your grapple beam into the broken light receptacle. This will cause major damage via electrocution as long as you keep a hold of the receptacle. You must make sure you have enough health though. As this move not only damages the boss but you as well. Using this strategy you can beat the boss in mere seconds as opposed to minutes.

Thank you for mentioning Two worlds! I was actually just thinking about that game yesterday. My best friend at the time and I would play it for hours on end. Mostly just laughing at it. But not gonna like. The song that plays at the start screen… it was pretty great if you listened to the whole thing.

The one I always cheesed when I discovered the trick was the boss fight against the Bull Rancor in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. You can just hide in a little cave at the side of the boss arena where the Rancor can't reach you and then just use force lightning to whittle it's health down.

Final Fantasy 8. Have Selphie in your party, keep her at low health perpetually and save her limit break. When it's time to fight a boss, use her limit break and with her at low health, she has a high probability of rolling "The End" which instantly kills whatever you are fighting. I beat Omega Weapon the first time that I fought him with that cheese.

The music drop at the beginning was well-edited. I really enjoyed that

i grew up playing mgs3 and personally i would have done the end instead of the fear, because the end is the old sniper that runs and snipes you with a tranquilizer to put you like 2 levels back. but if you set your consoles date forward a few days and reload the save youll find he has died of old age and you get an alternate cutscene

I laughed so hard when fighting the carpenter in ROTN this way, only after when I finished the game I found out it was a popular cheese haha

Love the content got my notifications on for this channel every time a video drops I'm watching it keep up the good work 💪

I didn't do that trick with Malak, but I was having a hard time in KOTOR 2 fighting these two Twi'lek assassins because I was playing a character I pretty much neglected. I did the trick with him. I ran to a small alcove, dropped a couple of mines, and let them come to me. The final boss in that game was hard AF, though. I ran, healed, returned and wailed on her, rinse and repeat. So much for an epic final duel. Then when she attacked me with flying lightsabers, I managed to get the lightsabers separate in order to fight them one on one (because the AI can't see around pillars). I lost the last saber (it just disappeared) and went and wailed on the final boss since she was distracted with controlling the lightsabers.

Actually, there's one tactic that works really well on both Shadow Link and the various armored knights in the game. Crouch jumping and stabbing in midair. Basically, you end up canceling the down thrust with a forward stab around waist level. As far as I can tell, this slips their guard by effectively counting as a high and a low attack at the same time. It's a pretty cheesy tactic for what are otherwise some of the hardest enemies in the game.

In bloodborne when fighting lady Maria if you take her up to the stairs right behind her chair and use beast roar a couple times she will disapear but her health bar still remains she can't hit you at all and she's invisible but if you start attacking you'll randomly sometimes hit her and start to see her health bar go down till shes dead.

In Final Fantasy 7, Ruby Weapon (arguably the hardest of the Weapons) is vulnerable to a very simple item called Dazers. Makes what would be an otherwise insanely difficult fight fairly trivial.

Falcon: "How many bosses lets you put them to sleep?" Me: " ... Have you fought Estark from Dragon Quest VIII?"

I have a good memory from The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone, when I was fighting the Toad Prince I realized it was the toad from the fairy tale. So I made the connection to use the cursed oil which turned out to be the weakness.

Thank you for covering double dragon, I had so many memories flood back playing that with my buddy Dave. Cheesing that boss always made us laugh

I enjoyed the cheese for the Demon of Hatred in Sekiro where he throws himself off the cliff and then thanks you 😂

The main character's face at 9:09 just screams 'oh hell naah..I'm out' 😂

For that trick of placing multiple mines before the fight, you could do a similar thing in Dragon Age. That giant dragon you fight in the mountains, you just go place a bunch of your most powerful traps where you know it'll land. Then you hit the gong, enjoy a massive lag spike, and it'll die. And in Castle Crashers if you choose the Industrial Knight (I don't know what he's actually called) and spam his sawblade magic against larger bosses, they'll do multiple hits and absolutely shred them within seconds.

In Timesplitters 2, at the end of the level Robot Factory you fight a boss called The Machinist. If you fire your Sci-Fi Handgun under the boss the ricocheting lasers will constantly damage it, destroying the boss in seconds.

How this list doesn't have MGS3's "The End" boss fight is beyond me

Uncharted 2, just don't run away, even on crushing. Shoot the exploding tree sap, wait till it grows back, repeat. One of the few cheese moments I found on my own. OOT Dark Link, hammer time. AC Valhalla, apparently you aren't the only one with no jump button.... I took out/drained one witch, two zealots and timon (or is it pumba) because like Ludo, rocks are my friends, also loa privet like fences, ne. The Valhalla (and every AC going back to 2 as I recall, when the AI bugs......) were all happy(ish) accidents.

"Sometimes you got to cheese em." Love that statement!

One of my favourites was in MGS3 and putting your system time forward a few years and the sniper boss is litterally just dead of old age

I'm just gonna pretend that you didn't forget the Destiny 1 Crota cheese where the host would unplug and replug their ethernet cable and everyone would push crota off the map.

Very well explained!

MGS 3 killing The End by sniping him early on in the game! Love the content!

Love that one for Crash N Sane Trilogy, chucking cheese at him for trying to cheat. Great stuff 😆😅 There's no need for any of that though, because all it takes is timing, because you can spin on a lion 😜

Love the content, cant wait for top 10 times falcon wouldnt shut up

I used that mine trick in KOTOR 2 when Atton has to fight the two twins in that club. I just used every single mine I had and rigged the place to blow.

Good tip on Kotor! Next time I gonna try it.

9:00 another cheese I like to use against that Double Dragon NES level boss is a baseball bat glitch. You fight a group of Lindas (one has a whip). Knock the whip from them. Don't pick it up until the final Linda is defeated. While the body is flickering as it disappears, if you time it right, you can turn the whip into a baseball bat and bat the end level boss off the edge of the building

I have never had a problem with the god skin duo but this looks hilarious.

Poisoning the heck outta Micolash before the final room makes the chase so satisfying.

On Bitterback Isle in Dragon's Dogma, there is a really tough armored cyclops that you can drop bombs on from above. It shouldn't be possible to defeat that boss until much, much later but if you use that trick you can get several levels up of ExP at the very beginning of the game. Another good one is in The Dying Light Following DLC, you can beat the pretty tough final boss by standing on a ledge and wacking her ever time she tries to climb up.

Elden Ring Mimic Boss - unequip your weapons, enter the boss room, then re-equip. The Mimic will just try to punch you! :')

Grimm in Hollow Knight. This is supposed to be a fancy dance-fight-show, and Grimm even punishes you for starting before he bows with a dangerous bullet-hell attack zupposed to mark him losing a quarter of health pool. However, during this attack he stands still in the center of arena and can be easily defeated by spamming magic from under him while taking bullets in the face to gain more mana with a special charm. Though you have to do some of the no-guide exploration to find all the stuff needed and can fight Grimm before that... but summoning the troupe in the first place is also done by finding a secret room and doing some guideless things in it...

Her shout at 2:00 sent me straight into an advertisement. It was almost magical

Dante: It's over, Dante! I have the high ground Dante: You underestimate my power! Dante: Don't try it...
