Bonus Boss: Difference between revisions

** ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'' has the "Traitor to the Heavens" ({{spoiler|[[Tales of Symphonia|Kratos]] fulfilling the role of a cameo boss}}). It also has a bit of an odd case with the Radiant Winged One, {{spoiler|who, while entirely optional, if the player opts to fight him, [[True Final Boss|ends up as the last boss anyway]].}}

*** Vesperia also features {{spoiler|[[Tales of Phantasia|Dhaos]], [[Tales of Eternia|Shizel]], [[Tales of Destiny|Barbatos]] (who still HATES item), and [[Tales of Symphonia|Kratos]]}} as bosses in the 200 Man Melee.

**** There's also a colosseum fight where you use the four characters you currently have in your party against computer controlled versions of the other four you aren't using.

**** In addition to the already long list of bonus bosses in Vesperia, there's also Yeager's bodyguards, Gauche and Droite (aka, The Loli Twins).

*** And she's arguably ''harder'' in the NA version. Yeah, she's tough in Japan, but just the mystic artes alone... ugh. In the Japanese version, you only had to worry about Big Bang. Oh, no problem - I'll just counter that with a treat or have Tear use Holy Song. She wasn't that bad in the Japanese version, so let's try the - wait a second, what's she doing using ''Indignation'' on me?!? She didn't have ''that'' before! What the- She has Fortune's Arc, too?! ''And'' Rending Sabre, Mystic Cage, and Innocent Shine? Oh but I'm not done yet... ''FRAGMENTED END''. Ugh.

*** She has Time Stop too in the American version. Why is that a problem? She tends to either cast Meteor Storm while time is stopped or goes up close and uses Rending Saber right after time starts flowing again. At the very least, Big Bang, Mystic Cage, and Fortune's Arc can't kill everyone. But, that doesn't stop Fragmented End or Indignation from doing that, just pray that you aren't waiting near your healers to heal you when she uses them.

*** Also in Graces, you have the three dragons that correspond to the 3 Giant Cryas in each country. Good luck trying to take them on before beating the final boss cause even on Normal, its not easy.

* The four-legged Dragons (not to be mistaken with the two-legged wyverns) in ''[[Monster Hunter]]'', as well as Kirin the lightning unicorn.

** Special mention should go to his Disgaea 3 DLC. Max level, three copies of his Tyrant form (as shown in the page image), well over 400 million HP, and an evility that nulls out damage each round based on how many copies of himself there are on the field. If you don't act quickly enough, the enemy base panels in the back will summon more Baal copies. If you're still too slow, they'll start bringing out Omega Sentinels for the Baal clones to Magichange with. Either you finish it quickly, or otherwise you're screwed.

* The re-release of [[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]] brought back [[Mythology Gag]] Pringer X as a [[Bonus Boss]], and he's more dangerous than Baal up there for a good reason: he can become immune to any special that's already been used against him, meaning you can't spam the same attack over and over, you HAVE to round out your move set. Later on, you get the chance to fight ''Eight'' of them, and they will all become immune to any special used against one of them, but that's not all: You can later pass a bill that turns all of the Land of Carnage monsters from Uber to Uber Lord, making them not only stronger, but you can't capture them and the bill sticks for that cycle. If you go back to take on Pringer X's army again, their stats are maxed out at 40 million, meaning damaging them is a daunting task in and of itself, much less hitting them.

* In most ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' games, there is a final mission and boss only available if you fulfil certain conditions, mostly either through finishing the game until this point within a certain amount of turns, or reaching this point while in hard mode.

** Though all of them fit [[True Final Boss]] much better. The two most memorable for this trooper are {{spoiler|Shu}} at the end of Alpha Gaiden also being [[That One Boss]], and Impact does one of the most shocking especailly if you played Original Generation 2 {{spoiler|Instead of fighting some bigger [[Eldritch Abomination]] after you just killed one aka Neu Reggursur, Char Aznable betrays you and you fight his Sazabi on the real final level. Which is especailly jarring since Quattro is with you for most of the game until stage 99. It's played well story wise, and Char is actually quite difficult along with his army.}}
