Fable 2 – Lucien
The mentally deteriorated member of the Fairfax family is one of the easiest bosses in video game history. In fact, he is so easy, it’s hard to even describe him as a boss.
Much like Lucien’s backstory, this final battle in Fable 2 is absolutely tragic.
The protagonist is introduced to Lucien early on in the game as he kills the hero’s sister in cold blood. The stakes then rise even higher as Lucien also decimates the rest of the protagonist’s family (including their dog) to fulfill some absurd prophecy.
If your hate for the character hasn’t boiled over yet, it will when you see how pathetically easy he is to eliminate.
In order to defeat this final boss, all the player needs to do is casually play a music box to drain his shield and shoot him ONE time, then the game is over. During this time, Lucien won’t even attack you, as he just stands there practically asking for his death.
Not only is the final blow extremely unsatisfying, but his death animation leaves even more to be desired.
Once Lucien is shot, he makes a few moaning sounds, and then simply falls backward off of the platform to his death like a stereotypical 80’s action movie villain.
Given the fact that the rest of the bosses in the game are no slouches, it is odd that Lucien is such a pushover considering how distraught he makes our character over the course of Fable 2.
For as much terror and pain Lucien brought to the main character, the fact this is such an easy final boss makes you question what took you so long to kill him in the first place.
