** The [[Mini Boss]] Algol is a more typical example, advancing to the right until you kill it or run away. The latter is the only option if you're missing a certain item.
* ''L.A. Noire'' has a later mission where a mobster in a bulldozer is trying to kill you, and chasing you through a movie set. To defeat him, you must use the tried and tested "run a bit, shoot a bit, repeat", method as stated here.
* ''[[Mega Man 6 (Video Game)|Mega Man 6]]'' has [[Shout
** ''[[Mega Man 7 (Video Game)|Mega Man 7]]'' has the HannyaNED at the end of Wily Stage 3, which chases the player down an endless corridor.
** ''[[Mega Man 8 Bit Deathmatch (Video Game)|Mega Man 8 Bit Deathmatch]]'' has the Guts-Dozer, which also chases the player down an endless path.
* ''[[Mega Man Zero (Video Game)|Mega Man Zero]] 2'' has you fight Fefnir after he [[One-Winged Angel|turns into a tank]] and he chases you forever to the left. You can [[Boom! Headshot!|hit him in the head]], but you should really consider disabling the four fire guns and the treads first to simplify the battle.
* ''[[Metal Slug]]''
** ''[[Metal Slug]] 2'' has one of these in the Egyptian-themed level. The boss is a huge mechanical snake-thing that keeps following you up a huge stone pillar you must climb. Very annoying as one of its attacks is a huge laser that covers most of the screen.
Line 65:
** Player 2's Clinger-Winger always gets sucked up by the orb due to a [[Game Breaking Bug]] in the US version, which makes this [[Advancing Boss of Doom]] [[Unwinnable By Mistake|impossible to defeat on co-op.]]
* ''[[Castlevania Order of Ecclesia (Video Game)|Castlevania Order of Ecclesia]]'' has Brachyura, a [[Giant Enemy Crab]] that chases you up a lighthouse before you reach the top to crush him with an elevator. Widely considered to be [[That One Boss]].
** Interestingly, the bestiary shows that Brachyura ''does'' have a health bar, however, it's impossible to kill prematurely, as going back on a [[New Game
** ''[[Portrait of Ruin]]'' has a very early meeting with the Behemoth, which at this stage is unkillable and must tear down a wall in order to let you advance; you fight him later as the second boss.
*** The Behemoth originally appeared in ''Rondo of Blood'' as a [[Mini Boss]] example of this. Except that in that game, you could kill it.
