[@grapetoad6595]

I remember Dragon Quest 9 had this as well, you defeat the emperor of an undead army that's been ravaging the land, he has a second phase where you need to beat him again, making it even more Final Boss-y. Then, you find out that he's not even the real boss, and that he's really been under the control of a fallen angel all along.

5:11 why is Hades always the bad guy? In Greek myth, he's just trying to do his job, even though nobody respects him for it.

[@Knitboy1997]

Not to mention his relationship with his wife Persephone... Basically he gave her a ride, took her to his place and offered snacks. Since then, she is basically goddess of spring AND queen of underworld. Because of her first job [and mother] she is forced to leave for six month every year to the "living world" and then she can just chill for the next six month at the throne with Hades... Also Orpheus and Hercules. Want your dead wife? OK, you can have her if you obey this ONE rule... Want to take my doggie Cerberus for a walk? Ok, but bring him back... Maybe he is "the bad guy" because of popular media making him "the god of death" (this ones gods name is actually Thanatos) instead of "the god of dead"...

[@CryWolf0651]

@@Knitboy1997 Right? I think it's unfair that just because he is the god of the dead, ruler of the underworld, caretaker of souls, that he obviously HAS to be the bad guy, because dying is bad. It's not like he goes around killing mfs JUST to add them to his kingdom, I mean he might if you're being a disrespectful twat, but otherwise he doesn't care. His whole job is ensuring spirits don't escape and the living don't enter.

[@joshuahunt3032]

I have two examples from Skyrim. Malkoran, a necromancer boss in Meridia’s Daedric quest, has a second phase after you kill him. Sure, the game doesn’t exactly fake you out, as he turns into a shade IMMEDIATELY upon death, but I don’t think I was clued in on it at all, either. I didn’t know necromancers could suddenly become shades when you spill their unholy entrails. For a stronger example, the Wolf Queen Potema Septim, another powerful necromancer that has been dead for centuries by the time Skyrim takes place. The quest where you meet her ghost (sorta, you just hear her and see swaths of creepy necromancer energy swirling all over the cave) involves you clearing out a bunch of necromancers trying to summon her, and -quite arrogantly- trying to bend the bitch’s phantom to their will somehow. Wait a few in-game days after completing the quest, and you get a letter from the steward of Solitude telling you to get your arse there immediately to get new intel. Turns out Potema’s ghost has partially been brought back, albeit not yet returned to flesh. When you head into the Solitude catacombs to confront her, she thanks you for saving her ass from getting bound to those other necromancers. She then tells you she’s going to make your corpse her champion or some shite, and sends undead to face you in the catacombs. Typical necromancer heresy.

After defeating every boss, Link always does a small flourish before sheathing his sword. This almost happens with Armogohma, save for the last second, where a flash of surprise shows up on Link's face. The camera pans around, showing the once intimidating arachnid as much smaller, less intimidating version of itself, complete with different music to suck out any previous feeling of tension or triumph.

[@ness6714]

Throughout Sekiro, you have a gimmick where you can revive yourself once per checkpoint if you end up dying in combat and keep dying. Guardian Ape basically makes you go "oooh so that's how it feels."

[@kageokami5]

This happens with Arghoma in LOZ Twilight Princess too. It even plays the music when you’ve defeated the boss. Although the battle isn’t over, it’s more funny than it is annoying.

I am surprised Just Shapes and Beats was not in this for these reasons 1: the one song is CALLED “final boss” 2: you beat Blixer (the main antagonist) to the tower top, where the final piece of the Tree of Life is 3: you hear the special music signifying you won Until Blixer comes back, shoves it into his head and fights you in his true final form

Skylanders Superchargers did a very similar thing with the final boss. After beating the games recurring antagonist Kaos, it makes you think you’ve won by showing the credits. Only for you to be thrown into a battle against the darkness with it saying “You didn’t think this was over did you?”.

[@Stephen-kh4zw]

I was very disappointed by how easy the fight against the darkness was. I rarely ever thing about that fight because all you need to do the win in look at the screen and move to the side occasionally.

After fighting Saren on the Citadel in Mass Effect, or convincing him to off himself, you still gotta fight him anyway. After destroying the tubes in the following game, gotta fight the human reaper too. I remember the blue spike tiger in Secret of Mana had a fake death, first time it happened for me in a video game. Ganondorf in Ocarina of Time coughs up blood, so you think he's dead and all you gotta do is escape the collapsing tower right. Wrong, now you have to fight him in a monstrous form called Ganon. Ganondorf before Ganon lol 🤣

dark souls 3 - sister Friede bossfight the game very much conditions you to expect two phases in a boss fight. so after you kill her once, she resurrects with father ariandel helping her out in a 2v1 second phase. after you defeat this really hard duo, the game even gives you a titanite slab as reward, but then she resurrects for a third time as the even harder black flame friede

[@AceAviations2]

aka the worst boss in a game packed with otherwise excellent to some of the best bosses in all of gaming (I'm looking at you Gael), the other boss in Ashes of Ariandel is pretty shit as well, but at least it's not as painful.

In the Okami segment at 12:36, you could tell that something was off when the music stopped as all other times were the same, all you had to notice was that to realize that it may not be over. The hints may be somewhat subtle in some of these entries as you have to remember similar situations and being able to notice small details.

Another boss I know is in the Mega Drive game "Dynamite Headdy." There is a boss called "Gatekeeper," and after you reveal the dark world the Gatekeeper returns with Sharp claws and is renamed to "Nasty Gatekeeper."

[@varunchaturvedi2581]

Another example that springs to mind is the Soul Master from Hollow Knight. After you defeat him, he deflates completely, and then drops you a powerup. Or so you might think. As soon as you grab it, the Soul Master reappears, and breaks the floor below you, making you drop down and initiate a new phase entirely. Trust me, it's a much bigger surprise than it seems from my comment.

You then have to chase him down a dank hole and fight him again but more difficult than before! After you beat him the 2nd time, another achievement pops "kill dr ned....... again!" LoL!

I’d personally put Princess Shroob from Mario and Luigi; Partners In Time. After defeating the boss with her on-and-off force field phases, you get to sit back and relax, awaiting your reward as the Cobalt Star, a shattered star of which you’d been collecting the fragments of the entire game is formed. And then boom, a the real final boss, and it’s second phase. And all three of these battles are back-to-back with no checkpoints, so if you fail once, it’s all three battles again.
