Unconventional final boss fights

The Immortal: With no weapons, and nowhere to move (you're standing on about a square foot of rock surrounded by a chasm), you have to do a Simon Says routine with spells, where if you screw up the timing even once, you'll end up incinerated by either dragon fire or by lightning. Not as openly sadistic as the Room O' Sandworms, but close.

Metal Gear Solid: the rail-shooter-on-jeeps part. What was even the point of this? :lol

Nyx...looks like Capcom said, "Man, Granfallon from SOTN was disturbing...let's top it!"

Though that was the last "final boss" encounter in the game, there's another last boss was at the end and is really a choice, basically its that guy sitting in the chair waiting for you to shoot him in the head (he gives you the choice). And I guess the real final final boss of that game is the quick chase at the end as you chase the guy in the red suit to a deep basement corner, he's completely defenseless, so the only thing left to do is just shoot him until he dies.

fucked up game indeed.
Really...Every boss fight in Killer 7 kicked ass. Loved the fight with Curtis Blackburn.

Rise of the Triad
You fist meet the boss in an area with lots of weapons everywhere but every time you shoot him with one he would do a similar attack on you (you shoot heatseaking missiles, he returns heatseaking spheres, etc). The solution is
not to shoot him at all and after a while he would flee. You then spend the next level chasing him down a canyon before getting to the final level where you can finally hurt him but only when he is above a firepit. But before you kill him you have to search and destroy all the larvae in the level or you will get the bad ending. To reach some of the larvae, if you missed the flying power up, you need to do a rocket jump and Rise of the Triad was the first game to feature rocket jumps.

Tom Hall as El Oscuro, the final boss of Rise of the Triad, the characters in the game was digitized and voiced by members of Apogee. El Oscuro also tells you to eat your veggies in Latin.

Or a sonic pulse that makes your head explode.

Not as openly sadistic as the Room O' Sandworms...

Or the spider nursery, or the Narlaac's canals, or... Jesus, Will Harvey had issues.
