Line 55:
* Under ordinary circumstances, ''[[Battle Arena Toshinden]]'' ends with a generic "you win" message following the defeat of Gaia. But if the player makes it all the way past Gaia on Hard difficulty or above without losing a match, the battle with Gaia is followed by a battle with Sho, followed by a character-specific ending after Sho is defeated.
* ''[[Digimon Battle Spirit]]'' has a partial example: Fulfilling certain conditions would cause Impmon to replace the Digimon you were supposed to fight beforehand, which acts as an [[SNK Boss]] (complete with power-nerfing as an unlockable). However, he doesn't entirely fit the trope because he's a midboss, not a final boss. The trope was more properly done in the [[No Export for You|Japan only]] expanded version. If you get to Milleniumon and beat him without losing once, it'll transform into ZeedMilleniumon.
* In the [[
* ''[[SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos|SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos]]'' had 2 true final bosses: A goddess version of Athena from the old ''[[Athena (video game)|Athena]]'' arcade game, and Red Arremer from ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins (series)|Ghouls 'n Ghosts]]''. Failing to meet them would give you a generic, text-only ending stating your character was never seen again.
** And you only get one shot at these final bosses. If you lose, then your character gets transformed into something which varies depending on whether you fight Athena or Red Arremer before giving you the generic, text-only ending.
Line 94:
* ''[[Mana Khemia Alchemists of Al Revis]]''. The [[Final Boss]] is {{spoiler|your ''main character'' fighting against his friends trying to [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight|snap him out]] of making a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}. The only way to fight the [[True Final Boss]] is to {{spoiler|increase one character's [[Relationship Values]] with the main character to maximum, releasing him from the hold of his ''powers''}}. The latter (italicized to avoid confusion) given "physical form" is the [[True Final Boss]].
* In the first ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' game, {{spoiler|Tyr/Myrna's [[One-Winged Angel]] form}} is one of these, only occurring if {{spoiler|you use Agni/Infinity in the second fight}}.
* ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' has a rare example of this (rare for the series anyway, which tends much more towards Bonus Bosses) if you go for the Worst Ending. Upon defeating Zenon, you end up fighting {{spoiler|Rozalin/the real Overlord Zenon,}} who is at level ''2000.'' (Compare with the previous fight with an enemy at level 90.) And unlike the other storyline fights with enemies at this level, you're supposed to win this one. Granted, it'll take a lot of grinding of a sort just to unlock this fight, but it can still catch you off guard. Luckily, there's a way to back out of qualifying for this ending. Which is a ''good'' thing, as your reward for victory is some [[Nightmare Fuel]].
** ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'' puts you up against against a different, much higher-leveled final boss if you clear the second to last stage using only the main character at level 500 or higher. {{spoiler|You fight the messengers of [[God Is Evil|God]]. Unfortunately, your reward is a [[Downer Ending]].}}
* In ''[[Record of Agarest War]]'', after spending how many hours in the game, you'd think {{spoiler|Summeril is the [[Final Boss]].}} If you unlocked the True Ending route (itself a [[Guide Dang It]]), you get to fight off against {{spoiler|''five'' sealed gods who are level 300 and the [[True Final Boss]] who is at level 350, when your level at this point is at most level 100.}}
Line 216:
* ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'' features ''two'' in the B Scenario. In the A Scenario, the last fight is against lion-like Birkin, who's tough, but still pretty easy to kill. In the B Scenario, you have to fight {{spoiler|a heavily mutated Mr. X T-103 Tyrant}}, who's much faster than before, hits harder, and can only be defeated by the timely intervention of rocket-based explosives. Then, you reach the end of the story, only to find out that the A Scenario ended prematurely, and you have to fight {{spoiler|Birkin one more time, plus he's mutated even further into a horrific vagina-esque blob}}. Only then will you see the real ending to the game.
* The true enemy and ending in ''[[Parasite Eve (video game)|Parasite Eve]]'' can only be accessed by beating the game once, which unlocks the [[Bonus Dungeon|Chrysler Building]]. Reach the top floor and Aya will confront {{spoiler|the Original Eve, possessing the "body" of Aya's deceased sister, Maya}}.
* ''[[Fatal Frame]] 2'' usually ends with a fight against "Rope Man" (aka the Kusabi). However, on Nightmare difficulty on the [[
