I know there's a Morrowind-themed thread for this, but I'm not currently playing morrowind, and I figured a place we can laugh at other games would be appreciated. Right now, I'm play The Secret World. I'm about 10 levels higher then everything else - I'm not sure if it's because I'm a patron or if that happens to everybody, but I basically stomp everyone and everything. Imagine my delight when I found an ancient ward in the first area containing a very, very interesting beast. ![](https://wiki.crygaia.org/w/images/thumb/0/0d/Decomposed_Kodiak.jpg/1200px-Decomposed_Kodiak.jpg) I knew from in game this creature was a big deal, and after a quick google to make certain he wasn't quest related, I set about unleashing him. It took me a hundred times, but I finally did it. He ate me. See, even though he was about 10 levels below me, this was a World Boss and I didn't realize that, because there's no way to tell them from the normal champions. The only difference is he has about a trillion more health and I can't hit hard enough to kill him before his poison kills me. Unfortunately, even though he killed me, he didn't go back into his ward. He's still there, wandering freely, killing everything that comes across him. I think I've inadvertently killed a dozen newbie characters so far and he's still rampaging. I'm going to gain another dozen levels or so then go back and fix that, but for right now uh.....oops. Hey, at least it's roleplay-friendly. Mages are notorious for unleashing things too powerful to control all the time!

That's so funny. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) There's nothing like that "oh crap" moment when you realize that you have accidentally gotten into a fight with an elite/world boss.

In Dying Light, I got kidnapped and put into an arena to fight monsters. Gonna be honest, I HATE arena type scenarios. And its always main quest required so to beat the game, you just have to do it, so I gritted my teeth and got through it. Anyway. All I got is a hammer. The heck am I going to do with a hammer? I'm an archer! So I run around trying to find a way out, and eventually, just gotta settle with I have to fight. So I wipe out all the zombies, and as a reward, they drop a freaking tank with me. ![Not my image. I was too busy panicking to screenshot](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xxLPreJHqmo/maxresdefault.jpg) After running around for twenty minutes, throwing explosive barrels at him, and just not accomplishing anything, I finally realize I have to toe-to-toe with him and kill him. So far, no deaths. Cue kickass cutscene where I just happen to escape, and the game is like alright man, you got this. Just run to the circles while you're being shot at. Time it just right, you'll escape Unfortunately, while I'm clever and fine if I'm given a little room to breath, just telling me to run is a surefire way to mess everything up. I died TWELVE FRICKING TIMES trying to run out of that building. my gaming pride is there any left?

Hey, you kept at it until you got it done. For that you deserve a cookie. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Thank gods I'm not hardcore into the One Life challenge - I'd never beat a game then! I ate a cookie and now I feel better

Back when the Sacred servers were running I made a character on one of the Hard Core servers. I don't think I got past the wilderness around Silver Creek.

I tend to start games "hardcore" but I never choose the actual in-game option. I like having the ability to use my human brain to say 'Hey, that was crap, that doesn't count!" if a glitch or something happens. Or to just decide I like my character too much to restart if I mess up.
I played sacred hardcore with the wood elf, but when I got to underworld, the exp glitch out so i was only getting 12 from each monster. I went to some sacred-themed forums I can't find on google right now, but nobody could help me.
I just realized both my screenshots in the thread are zombies. I do play a lot of zombie -related gamed, but I should try to get at least one non-rotting monster in here at some point!
