15 Boss Weakness Gamers Blatantly Took Advantage of

Hooktail – Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

The irreverent Paper Mario series used to not be so afraid to get weird and give new characters a major role. Hooktail, a massive dragon serves as the first real boss in the game, guarding a Crystal Star. She’s a massive challenge for a still fairly new player, unless they happen to be the explorative kind. Hidden in a side path and hinted at by only a few NPCs is one of the game’s badges which adds the sound of a cricket to your attacks and nothing more. But those small chirps are Hooktail’s achilles heel, drastically reducing her stats all because eating one once gave her a tummy ache.
