Line 5:
Contrast with [[True Final Boss]], which is a special final boss fight that occurs if you've done everything ''right.''
{{examples
* In ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]'', you don't fight the disco ball in the sky, Kagutsuchi, in the demon ending. Why? Because demons are not allowed to create their own world and the Demi-Fiend is demonic enough to fall under this rule.
Line 15:
* If you don't {{spoiler|travel to the past and}} defeat Wiseman in a sidequest in ''[[Baten Kaitos]] Origins'', then you won't get to fight {{spoiler|Verus-Wiseman}} at the end of the game.
* In ''[[Resident Evil 1]]'', if you don't do the sidequests to get the good ending, you'll miss out on the final Tyrant fight.
* In the ''[[Tony Hawks Underground|Underground]]'' installment of the ''[[Tony Hawks Pro Skater]]'' games, you reach the end of the game, and [[Jerkass|Eric]] [[The Rival|Sparrow]] turns up and taunts the player character with the [[MacGuffin|tape of their]] [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] from earlier in the game, which only Eric & the main character were witness to, before challenging the player to follow Eric's run across the entirity of the New Jersey level, whilst Eric is throwing things at you. Play through the game a second time, and as Eric pulls out the tape & starts taunting the main character, [[Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?|they just punch him out & take the tape]].
* The [[Harder Than Hard|Trauma]] mode ending from ''[[Painkiller]]'' skips the game's final chapter (including the final boss) entirely, and instead gives you a genuinely happy ending where Daniel gets let into Heaven to reunite with his wife.
* The Good Cop endgame of ''[[True Crime New York City]]'' has no final boss, just a subway chase that ends with [[The Mole]] / [[Big Bad]] dying in a cutscene. In contrast, the Bad Cop endgame has a final punchout against your [[Jerkass]] boss Captain Navarro.
