10 big brain moves to cheese hard bosses
video description
You can obviously cheese almost all the bosses in any soulslike, but this one was more akin to the Demon's Souls approach of Zelda mechanics, where there's a way to tackle the boss, that makes it easier than any normal way. Essentially turns it into a gimmick boss.
And listing 10 here's a boss falling off a ledge entries would obviously be boring, but the Skyrim part actually kinda makes sense. (Also you can just jump right after him with the ethereal shout, to cheese the fall damage itself; just saying)

I feel like From Software's idea was to keep really epic main story bosses but yeah also didn't want too many people to get completely stuck if they simply can't do it, perhaps they identified the most troublesome ones with focus testing.
So to solve this they introduced some way to make the fights easier such as Margit/Margot's shackle, The mixed physik against the lord of blood and making the godskin duo easy to divide up to fight one at a time.
However I think most people should consider ignoring the easy way out to get the proper fight, atleast the first few times to get a feel for if you can do it.
Because the easier way feel like they intentionally take out the most challenging part of each boss fight which might greatly take away from the sense of accomplishment.
My main point is to share the idea that just because you found the thing you don't necessarily have to use it immediately as they kinda ruin the challenge if you want that preserved.

The Alien in Alien: Isolation can be out-ran if you sprint in a specific way. You can even run behind him and even be less than a Foot away.
Its a speedrunning trick called Psycho-running (discovered by a streamer/Speedrunner called PsychoHypnotic, where you Hold Forward, Right and Sprint at the same time. You look/aim to the left, then hit the crouch button every 0. 5 seconds.
It restarts the sprint animation when the crouch button is pressed so you basically float along the ground, making no noise.

Falcon, we're roughly the same age. Did you, like me, have any of the Nintendo Game Secrets books by Rusel Demaria as a kid? I remember learning the Double Dragon second boss trick and the Shadow Link trick from those books. Back before internet was widespread, so this and game magazines were how we learned these things. I loved those books and read them cover to cover many times. If you've never seen then, go pick up some used copies and take a look; they're one of my personal treasures.

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.

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.

I haven't tried it in a while, but isn't there like a specific quest line in skyrim where if you look hard enough you find some sort of cutlass type weapon with a knock back effect that's meant to recharge and use charged crystals, but was glitched to the point that every hit with sword would create a knock back effect and never had to be recharged.

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

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.

There's quite a few for Elden Ring. Most of which involve making the boss jump out of the arena or off a bridge. Margot and Radahn can be made to jump off the sides of the area you fight them in and The Knight's Cavalry can be made to jump off the bridge he spawns on. 3 easy instant cheese kills
