I’m going to nominate the fat godskins from Elden Ring as being the least fun boss to fight in their entire oeuvre. Instant belly slam attack with no wind-up that’s impossible to shield or dodge, followed by a fifteen- to twenty-minute rolling attack. Seems to be designed to either force you to engage with crafting to make sleep items, or just to grind like hell to be ridiculously over-levelled. And then one rocks up with his skinny mate, to make the worst dual-boss ever. Makes twin dragonriders look like a masterpiece.
You can roll through their rolling attack. Like roll directly into them as they are coming toward you. They aren’t the most entertaining fight though, I’ll give you that
You can also just strafe in the opposite direction to stay inside his turning radius. I think the most frustrating thing about it is just that it goes on for so long and effectively puts the whole fight on pause
