Line 67:
* The only way to truly get rid of a ''[[Nethack]]'' monster is to dispose of its corpse. The [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse|Riders]] {{spoiler|save for yourself when you start out spelunking}} have special coding that makes getting rid of their corpses nearly impossible and they are more than likely to revive under your disposal efforts. The Wizard of Yendor is similar as, after you have stolen a [[McGuffin]] from him, he will constantly revive no matter how many times he is killed and will make the remainder of your game miserable.
* Mostly averted in ''[[Xenoblade Chronicles]]'', where the only thing bosses are universally immune to is instant death.
* Subverted in ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]''. While bosses are more status-resistant than normal enemies, they never have blanket immunity to all status effects. Even [[Bonus Boss|Bonus Bosses]] are vulnerable to one or two, and many strategies for defeating them exploit this.
