Line 71:
* The [[Bonus Boss]] Nightmare in [[Alter AILA]] Genesis, 150% damage for a specific element. 1% for everything else
* The skindancer in ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' reflexively changes resistances to take less damage from whatever attack form was used on him last.
* In ''[[Bio Shock]]'', the final boss Frank Fontaine supercharges himself with "Adam" (the game's genetic version 'magic') giving him various powers over fire, ice and electricity, teleportation, etc. His body glows with a different colour depending on the power he's using: {{color|red|rred}} for fire, {{color|blue|bblue}} for ice, white for electricity. Since you also get [[Fire Ice Lightning|fire/ice/electricity powers]] through using Adam, plus an artificial version of these elemental weapons with your chemical-thrower, guess which powers he is resistant to depending on the colour he gives off and which he is weak against?
** Of course in his electrical form which has no earth equivalent, it's usually best just to shoot him full of holes...
* Every boss in the ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'' [[Video Game|game]] has layers of force fields, each one that can only be destroyed by a specific weapon. (For instance, a {{color|blue|bblue}} shield will only be vulnerable to the Arc Laser.)
* Tarvos the Avenger in ''[[.hack|.hack//Quarantine]]''. Fortunately, the game tells you what, if anything, every enemy you face is tolerant (immune) to by way of glowing orange text next to its lifebar.
** On that note is the recurring boss within The World itself: The One Sin. Rumored to be very, very powerful, it can only be damaged by an element that is opposite itself when it fights. The last person who defeated it was Balmung; his unique angel-like look is the prize for defeating it. Apparently it was so powerful a semi-famous player poet composed a poem and gave Balmung (and Orca) nicknames "Descendants of Fianna" and it stuck.
