Final Death: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Minecraft]]'' has Hardcore mode where you are stuck on Hard difficulty and dying means your save for that world ''gets erased from your computer!''. Not recommended for players who want to build and/or explore.

** Terraria, the "Minecraft if it were 2-d and more combat based" game, has hardcore difficulty. If you die, the character you made is gone. As multiple characters can go through your worlds, it's not a total loss if you stored items regularly. You still lose that inventory and HP/MP gained on the character.

* This is the underlying point of the [[Nuzlocke Comics|Nuzlocke]] [[Self-Imposed Challenge|challenge]] in ''[[Pokémon]]'' games. The base rules are simple: one can only attempt to capture the first Pokémon they encounter in any given route, and anyone that faints is considered dead and must be released or placed in a PC box indefintely at the next opportunity to do so.<ref>It's also considered good practice to nickname everyone you successfully acquire. Any additional rules are up to the player, should they choose to add them.</ref> As this makes any Pokémon captured very difficult to replace, it becomes surprisingly heartbreaking whenever one of them '''''do''''' faint, whether as a result of a random [[Critical Hit]] or, worse, because of your own mistakes. [[Arc Words|I believe this is all happening for a reason.]]

* Draco Malfoy, acting on Voldemort's orders, attempts to destroy the ghost of Usagi Tsukino with a shard of stone imbued with the power of Death in the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' crossover fic ''[[The Girl Who Loved]]''. He doesn't succeed, although he does destroy Nearly-Headless Nick and Peeves; in fact, his attempt ultimately results [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|in Usagi's resurrection]].
