Zero Effort Boss: Difference between revisions

m
Line 48:
* Bungie's sci-fi FPS ''[[Marathon Trilogy|Marathon]]'' has you fighting through an entire alien army to find and kill the alien general. But when you find him he turns out to be a deskbound pushover, with no weapons and no attacks.
* Near the end of ''[[No One Lives Forever]]'', the player finally comes face to face with Baroness Dumas (basically the Big Bad, though there is another Boss Battle after her). She has no weapon, doesn't move, and is defeated with a couple of shots from the pistol. Of course at the this point she begins to explode (um... don't ask), leading onto the real point of the level which begins with you encountering her, which is to get everyone away from the area before she blows up.
* ''[[Borderlands|Borderlands 2]]''
** Face McShooty in ''[[Borderlands|Borderlands 2]]'' is a lunatic that you encounter in Thousand Cuts who is screaming hysterically for someone to shoot him in the face, and completing the quest "Shoot This Guy in the Face" requires you to do just that. In fact, doing so gives you the Achievement called "Well That Was Easy".
** One with more importance to the plot is [[Mad Science|Professor Nakayama]] from the DLC "Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt". A [[Dirty Coward]] and [[Nervous Wreck]] with serious self-esteem issues, he's had nothing but bad luck since his boss Handsome Jack's death. After you fight your way past his biological creations (including the giant, muscular brute Jackenstein, pretty much the actual boss of this mission) he comes out to face you, and you don't even have to fire one shot. He slips on some stairs and falls down them, [[Undignified Death|breaking his neck]].
