I think that trying to get the jock to admit his fear was just as hard though. I do disagree with you on GOA and FQ2 (but everyone is entitled to their opinion...what I find hard someone else may find really easy). In the first time I played GOA, I found Pheicryn to be the hardest of all. But that makes sense to me since as a game designer, you want the hardest monster at the end. In the first time I played FQ2, I thought that one of the hardest things was just trying to find all 10 of those stupid gold coins. The monster I thought was hardest was the vampiress. The giraffe would have been hard to if I didn't already read how to deal with it before I got there.

I second that. I couldn't have gotten through without help, but even so, beating it was an accomplishment.

For me, here are the hardest parts of each game I played.

FQ1: Getting rid of the cat, I think...
BH: That blasted maze. End of story.
FQ2: The giraffe. Hands down. I did figure it out on my own, but it still drove me bonkers.
POA: Escaping the Izacladia base. Took me FOREVER to find something to subdue Sylvester with, get both of their attention in turn, and then Jean-Claude... gah!
TOA: A lot of things are tied for me on this one. I have yet to play it to have to deal with the rat or the bombs, though.
GOA: Pheicryn. It was SO satisfying when I made her go splat finally...
