Line 3:
Compare [[Defeat Means Friendship]]. Compare and contrast [[Power Copying]].
{{examples
* After [[Shin Megami Tensei I (Video Game)|the first]] game, ''[[Shin Megami Tensei (Franchise)|Shin Megami Tensei]]'' generally requires bosses to be beat in order to fuse them.
** Played with in a way in ''[[Persona 4 (Video Game)|Persona 4]]'', where defeating a person's Shadow causes that person to join you. Subsequently subverted in the same game, when Mitsuo Kubo's Shadow is defeated, he does not join you {{spoiler|because he doesn't accept his Shadow. Not to mention that he's an ''admitted murderer'' and is sent to prison shortly after being rescued.}}
Line 56:
* In ''[[Dragon Age]]'' ''Origins'', defeating {{spoiler|Zevran and much later Loghain}} is immediately followed by opportunities to recruit them into the party.
* This is the entire point of the flash game "Great Dungeon in the Sky". Any enemy you defeat can be played as, ranging from bosses to the chicken.
* Subverted in [[Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete]], where the party [[Genre Savvy|clearly expects]] their [[Stealth Mentor]] {{spoiler|Ghaleon}} to join them after his last boss battle. Unfortunatly, {{spoiler|he's kept alive by the power of the [[Big Bad]], so now that it's clear that he's a traitor he fades away.}} [[Fridge Logic]] makes that a [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]], because there's only one way the [[Big Bad]] could have found out just then {{spoiler|from them saying that they knew he was helping them all along and trying to recruit him instead of playing along.}}
* In ''[[Time Splitters]]'', the final boss of the third game has to be defeated on the three varying difficulty levels to unlock most of his different incarnations for Arcade mode.
* In ''[[Need for Speed]]: Most Wanted'', you need to defeat a boss to make his or her car available on the car shop. If you're lucky, you can get the [[Randomly Drops|pink slip]] to that boss car, thus getting it free.
