Has there ever been a monster/enemy you could not beat?

[Carlos' Bitch1]

Just wondering if anyone has ran across any creature's or enemies in a CRPG that they simply could not defeat.

My own is from Magic Candle 2.

Doombeasts. Weird, blue things in the deeper levels of dungeons, that are damn tough by themselves, but constantly spawn new 'beasts'. I have never been able to defeat them, and had to engineer my own dirty trick to get past them whenever I encountered them. I would cast timestop, followed by teleport spells, moving each member of the party to the other side of the room (or where ever the other exiting door is) and fleeing out.

Trying to remember what I did with doombeasts. Maybe I excised the failure from my memory.

I'm pretty sure there was something (or somethings) in Drakkhen I could never figure out how to kill.

I gave up on Exile 2 when I was in one of the castles right at the end and I met a Doomguard. I had never figured out how to kill them (I was young!) and I ended up in a position I couldn't get out of. I figured I had put enough time into the game to consider it "done enough".

Still to this day I have a difficult time handling beholders and mindflayers in Baldur's Gate. Usually dropping down a difficulty level or two would "fix" it.

That's all I can think of though.

Beast with 1000 eyes in Wiz 7.

Lord British caused me no end of grief.

Doom Beasts, hm, I remember what I sprayed them with arrows to find real one.
My own nightmare - Beast of the 1000 eyes. In the last run after many tries I defeated it, but my party was broken.

Same here. And also the dude from the spaceship in MM7 (fortunately, you can steal the item you need from him). Attacks that can instantly desintegrate a PC are just not fair.

That annoying bricks-flying-across-screen end stage boss in Megaman1/3.

Not in RPG's and the like. There's always some cheap way to take shit down. In shmups and other arcade games, different story.

Flemeth for instance I think was pretty easy with cone freeze spam or something.

protection from magic is your friend.

Indeed. On the other hand, you don't have such protection in the M&M6 and Terminators tried to rape you really hard.

Can't recall anyone from unmodded games.
But The Butcher in The Hell Mod for Diablo was virtually unbeatable.

Yellow Devil? Yeah, couldn't beat that fuck without the elec man weapon glitch. That's not a CRPG, however.

Neither is FF7, but I couldn't beat either of the weapons because beating them requires you to play a bunch of really annoying minigames.

In actual CRPG's, can't think of anything 'cept Wizardry 8, I'm not apparently very good with that game and the 3D maneuvering really drives me off it. There are those fucking bats that aren't so tough but inflict status effects that are expensive to heal, then there are those things in that rat tree city that cast instant death spells at you from a long range, and a bunch of other things, creatures that have more HP than your entire party and they usually don't come alone, either. I suppose you can deal with all of that somehow but really, I'd much rather play a straightforward step-by-step game where maneuvering into corners, attacking you from unlimited range and monsters biting your mage's butt doesn't come into play. Like Wizardry 7, a better game in all ways.

wizards eye, mordenkainen swords(or skeleton warriors) = dead llithid.

come to think of it: summoning stuff and sending them of together with a wizards eye is my solution to everything in this game.

 

[anus_pounder]

CRPG? Nope.

Any game in general? Yes, this fucker -

 

[Freelance Henchman]

I solo'd all of Storm of Zehir with a warlock on Hardcore difficulty, but the end battle turned out to be impossible no matter what I did.

 

[KalosKagathos]

The Reaper in Persona 3, although I wanted the game to be bloody over at that point and didn't particularly try.

 

[SkepticsClaw]

Ha, the SkiFree Yeti! Many's the time I tried to escape from him when I was but a lad. I was absolutely convinced that if I could just get away somehow I'd complete the level.

In RPGs? I've never got to the point where I thought 'I'll never beat this guy aargh', but I've gotten to a really difficult fight, failed, then not played the game ever again. I just dislike having to reload games, my instinct apparently is if I get thrashed enough times then I'm dead and therefore not allowed to continue. Or something. Also I'm terrible at completing end bosses, when I get to that stage I know there isn't anything more to play and therefore often don't get around to actually finishing the game properly.

Well the thief in Zork was a pain in the ass.

Wisps and Shadowlords in Ultima 5 if you don't have the Crown. Megadragon from M&M, most of the Gorrors in Wiz 7. Doombeasts were annoying, but a combination of arrows and jump spells or if absolutely necessary a Destroy would take them down.
