** In the sequel, ''[[The Reconstruction]]'', it is also {{spoiler|the "artifact" that Havan finds. Tezkhra reveals in the [[Golden Ending]] that there are five in total. Four are destroyed or deactivated by Tezkhra, so the fifth is likely a [[Sequel Hook]].}}

* {{spoiler|Jacob Crow}} in ''[[Time Splitters]]'' achieves immortality by merging himself with one of these, or turning himself into one, it would seem. The good? He is immortal and can time-travel at will. The bad? His [[Body Horror|body is plastered to a giant bipedal mech, and he has absolutely no hands whatsoever]].

* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots]]'', {{spoiler|Vamp, who previously demonstrated his immortality in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty]]'', is revealed to have nanomachines [[Doing in the Wizard|(what else?)]] in his body that enhance his already impressive [[Healing Factor|natural healing abilities]], making him practically immortal. Naturally, the only way to beat him later on is to inject him with a shot that supresses his nanomachines.}}

* The ''[[Touhou]]'' series has the Hourai Elixir, which was literally created by distilling the concept of eternity into liquid form. It makes whoever drinks it immortal by removing the very concept of death from their being: they will never age, never grow sick, and will instantly heal any injury, no matter how severe. The closest one can get to defeating one is beating them down until the pain makes them not want to fight you anymore. Fortunately, only two people have consumed the Elixir, neither of whom is particularly interested in a fight to the death ([[Cycle of Revenge|except between]] [[Revenge Before Reason|each other]]).

* In ''[[Pokémon Ranger]]: Guardian Signs'', {{spoiler|The Societea become immortal by wearing pieces of the Golden Armor. This seems to be of the "stop the aging process and survive mortal blows" kind, but we never actually see them suffer any direct physical harm until after they lose their armor to [[The Starscream|Purple Eyes]], so we can't be sure about the latter. After Purple Eyes is defeated, the armor disappears, thus making sure no one remains immortal.}}
