Wild Arms 3, the final boss has 10 forms, give or take a bit. Can't remember for sure. Most of them are easy. Gimmick is that they get more difficult as you beat each one. Even the final final one is still easy.

Can't kill the boss but you can kill yourself

I was about ready to dew myself in this winter but a series of people and things managed to come together in time to keep me going
Then the meds kicked in and now I feel like I can make it through the rest of my life
You're not depressed because life is fundamentally impossible to enjoy, you're depressed because of a chemical imbalance, a mental illness
Get it treated like you would a physical illness
You owe it to yourself and the people who care about you

In Tera the bosses had so much health and so small healthbar that you never even saw it even move so they gave them a very large bar on top of the screen that you had to deplete 24-36 times.

>only 5
Look at this pleb.

>boss has 10 health bars
>deplete all 10 and it reveals that those 10 health bars were just a single health bar of 10 even bigger health bars, effectively giving it 100 health bars
>if you look away from it's corpse after beating it, it creeps slowly towards you and performs a one hit kill
>easily avoided if you know it's coming but still potentially wastes 2+ hours of your life
