the Collosi in Shadow of the Collosus. They are just innocently minding their own business until you show up and stab them in the glowing tattoo.

Bosses? Make it singular.
The Boss - MGS3
Yep, there really wasn't a reason to do it.
You are very right. Killing
Wyatt was hard. I almost wish Blasko could hot wire it and Wyatt would become a immortal (by man's standards anyway) nazi killing machine but even then he does not deserve being devolved into a simple war machine.
You gotta let
him
I couldn't imagine killing Fergus, he's too funny

Ghost Recon Wildlands - Taking out El Boquita. (Spoilers, I guess? Not really a story based game.)
They're all Cartel bastards, and throughout the game you end up 'extracting' a number of them because they're worth more from flipping intel or giving up compadres than killing. However, there are a few bosses in the game that they force you to kill. You can't beat the mission until they're dead.
https://youtu.be/ygoBK-T6Bes?t=123
(Relevant part starts at 2:03)
You're tracking El Boquita (A Cartel under boss), and trying to get him to lead to you to a convoy of drugs headed to Mexico. You've tapped his line so you can listen in on any hints as to where the convoy is. During the tailing mission, he calls his love (The Beauty Queen) and tells her he doesn't think this is a good idea and there has to be a better way, she said it's the only way. He then talks to his small daughter. She asks if he's coming home, he said he has to take a trip, and tells her to be a good girl. She wants a puppy, he tells her he loves her and says "adios mija" in a way where you know he knows he's probably not coming home.
It was this weirdly moving part of a game that's overall not very touching or anything. You're killing big bad Cartel members. Your handler makes sure to remind you that you need to KILL El Boquita, in order to mess with his girlfriend/wife (who is a higher tier Cartel boss).
When I got to it, I managed to kill off all his henchmen, and then grabbed him instead of killing him. When you get close to people in the game, they tend to cower and submit, so he wasn't resisting, so I felt really bad killing him. I stuffed him in a chopper and flew him to the nearest base and tried to extract him, but it wouldn't let me. I debated what to do for a while.. finally I tossed him back in the helicopter and flew up in the helicopter, flew over a Cartel base and waited for the SAM to lock on. As soon as the missile was in the air, I bailed out and parachuted to the ground. Missile destroyed the helicopter, and El Boquita.. mission completed, no blood on my hands.
Still kind of makes me sad.
For good measure, his narcocorrido.. Ghost Recon Wildlands - Por Amor: La Historia Del Boquita Narcocorrido

Kinda felt bad about killing Rom in Bloodborne. He tries to back away and you just approach him and start stabbing.

Sniper Wolf and Astrea are big ones for me.
Everyone is saying Sif and The Boss but since it took me a million times to kill them, they can go die in a fire.
Dyne is another good one that was mentioned. And I don't think they die but I always liked Fujin and Raijin from FFViii

Not all of them... those little ones can fuck right off. But yeah, the ones that don't attack first, kind of the same feeling as attacking Rom without provocation. And the intentionally sad music when they die, of course.
How far in the future are you?

I killed him and avenged Frog's friend and felt good about it.
I know he joins the party, but man the first time I had to fight him I was like "NOOOO!"
I'll raise you Shiharam from Path of Radiance.
Much better in terms of execution and significance.

Julius from Tales of Xillia 2; that whole game was depressing as fuck!!!
If you go for the bad end it gets worse...
You'll fight all the other characters as they try to stop you from dooming the world. That was hard..

The God Generals from Tales of the Abyss
Probably the most exciting fights in the game. Really wish there was a unlockable God General mode where you play the game from their perspective.

I hate hunting Qurupeco because it's animations, audio clips, and visible damage, make it look afraid at times. This is made worse by the fact that half its moveset is based around calling for help and running away. Makes me feel like a real scumbag. :<
Squaring off against 'The True Hero' in Undertale felt shitty too.
Part of me would be relieved and proud if I lost. She got done dirty by the player, but refused to die. She came back stronger than ever, and was wrecking shit in sync to her new elegant yet high energy themesong. You did it, girl. You're anime now. It's real. Alas, my persistence got the better of her, and beating the fight gives you the knowledge that she expected to lose, but merely wanted to stall me so others could escape.

Cliff Hudson in Dead Rising.
When you encounter him, he's having a psychotic break where he thinks he's in Vietnam and that you're an enemy soldier. After you defeat him, as he's dying he comes around and tells you that his granddaughter was killed by zombies in front of him, and hearing her scream made him go insane.

Roc from NieR.
It was more personal for me than just surface level.
I had just lost my dog and was playing to keep my mind off it.
Why I chose to keep playing NieR is beyond me.
I was on the 2nd playthrough and found out that Roc
As soon as I stopped I legitimately started crying. Even typing this pts lumps in my throat.

I was on the 2nd playthrough and found out that Roc
was just a dog who missed his master and wanted to live his old life again. His owner had given his Gestalt up for his dog to live a long life.

Yeah, Roc and Beepy were really rough on me too. It was really transparent emotional manipulation, but it still worked all the same.

I know he killed pretty much everyone you care about in the beginning, but also he's kind of not the laughing villain you would expect.
His last dialog is touching actually, you can feel he didn't want things to end up like this.

Maiden Astraea from Demon's Souls, as much as I love Sif I would say this is a much more disturbing and traumatizing kill.
The OST is also very haunting in my opinion.
Here is what she said before you murder her and her protector.
''This is our home.
We have done no harm to you.''
''Dear God, have mercy....Is not your abandonment of us punishment enough? How long must we weather this cruel fate? Cruel Lord... What more can you possibly take from us?''
It's horrible, she won't even attack you in the end.

Mustafa from Fire Emblem Awakening, especially after stuff happened in the game and the OST just rubs it into your face.
Mustafa's just doing his job and he did nothing wrong!
Hope you spared his men like he requested you to do so...
Came here to post him.
I did end up killing everyone of his men though by accident. As per FE tradition, I expected the map to end when he was killed, so in order to get the EXP, I killed everyone before fighting him, and then he asks me not to kill everyone like I just did. Whoops.

I know he joins the party, but man the first time I had to fight him I was like "NOOOO!"
Magus has an interesting heelturn and the reasons he is summoning lavos were misunderstood, but he wasn't innocent.
Factor in the amount of people he had killed by that point, the skeletons that are unwittingly necromanced that were implied to be kids, and what he did to Glenn and Cyrus. Let's also not neglect that successfully summoning Lavos would have been utterly catastrophic if he succeeded.
