No. 8: Beast Rune – Suikoden II

The Beast Rune of Suikoden II didn’t seem all that menacing at first. Hell, it hardly seemed like a proper boss since it was basically an emblem on a floating orb. So the final encounter with this ethereal menace didn’t seem so bad— until it turned into a giant, two-headed wolf. It was a good thing that you could have six members in your party, because six-on-one would be a piece of cake, right? Wrong. It turns out that each part of the beast (both heads, all four legs, and the rune itself), attack independently, so it’s actually six-on-seven. Make sure all your dudes are equipped with the best runes or you’ll have to spend more than half an hour with this multi-faceted demon.
