I don't think it's a contender, given the horror stories ITT, but IMO the final boss of part 2 of Labyrinth of Galleria the Discordance gets an honorable mention.

The boss has 9 parts which wake up gradually as the fight goes on, in a game where facing multiple foes is much more dangerous than single foes.

So, better kill these things quickly.

But each of the 9 parts has a different pattern of resistances to the game's 6 damage types, with 8 parts being completely immune to half the damage types, and the ninth part being immune to everything.

Q: How to deal with these immunities?

A: Look it up online, basically -- there are a handful of special weapons that punch through this boss's immunity, and there are also special magic spells that can be found to strip the immunity.

But there is nothing in-game that points to these weapons that isn't incredibly obtuse, there is similarly nothing in-game that leads to those important debuff spells, and both spells and weapons are locked to varying degrees behind insignificant looking and often onerous fetch quests.

IMO this all could have been made to work reasonably well with a decent level of in-game guidance -- it is a final boss, after all.
