The
Note that this is not always synonymous with [[Anticlimax Boss]]; a climax is the "highest tension" part of a story or conflict, and everything after that is falling action after the rising action peaks. This would be a brief spike in the action before all conflicts are resolved and everything is summed up.
Line 20:
* At the end of ''[[Live a Live]]'', after a long and difficult battle against the [[Big Bad|Demon Lord Odio]], you either fight Odio's "true form" (a weak human fighter who dies in a few hits), or spare Odio and end up fighting all the game's previous major bosses from the previous chapters (who have ''not'' leveled up in the interrim and thus pose only a very minor threat).
* At the end of the Alien campaign in ''[[Aliens vs. Predator]] 2'', after a difficult battle against 2 Predators, the game ends with you fighting [[Big Bad|Dr. Eisenberg]], a human with a shotgun who goes down after one hit.
* Seen in the PC version of ''[[Far Cry]]''. In the final level you fight (in order) the [[One-Winged Angel|mutated, superpowered]] [[Big Bad]], then go through [[That One Level]] fighting several [[Giant Mook
* {{spoiler|Jowy}} in two of ''[[Suikoden II]]'''s endings.
* {{spoiler|Lucien}} in ''[[Fable|Fable II]]'' with {{spoiler|the Giant Shard}} serving as the actual final boss.
Line 42:
* The Meteor Parasite in ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]''. Before you can deliver the final blow, you get whisked away to the [[Final Boss]]. After beating the last boss, you get transported back to the parasite, who is still in critical condition, being at 1 HP and unable to fight back at all. All it takes is a single attack to finish it off.
* The final boss of ''[[Xenogears]]'', Urobolus, is extremely easy. Of course, having just defeated ''God'' (or, rather, a somewhat mechanical creature that is sort of God but not really...[[Mind Screw|don't ask...]]), anything would be easy.
* The [[PlayStation 3]] version of ''[[Eternal Sonata]]'' turns {{spoiler|Frederic}} into this by upgrading the previous battle from a rather easy battle against something close to a [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]] in the Xbox360 version to a much harder fight to the death with the [[Evil Overlord]]. If you managed to beat him, the
* The fight against the Time Devourer (the dragon one) from ''[[Chrono Cross]]'' is an epic [[Final Boss]] fight, spanning several locales and stages, and packing a lot of hard-hitting attacks and Elements. Afterwards there's the fight against the ''other'' Time Devourer (the {{spoiler|Lavos}} one), who doesn't hit nearly as hard, and who is defeated by [[Puzzle Boss|playing a song]].
* In the console version of ''[[Daikatana]]'', [[Big Bad|Kage Mishima]] appears as a strong [[Duel Boss]]. In the portable version he has two forms and can do a lot of damage to Hiro. {{spoiler|After the fight, Mikiko betrays Hiro and can be defeated in a couple of seconds on both versions.}}
