* ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'': The Armored Warrior is a knight from Europe wearing full plate armor, which [[OutsideContextProblem Sekiro is just not equipped to handle]], and he'll NoSell everything Sekiro does. Fortunately for the player, somebody decided to station the Armored Warrior on a narrow bridge over a ravine, allowing Sekiro to knock him off the edge with a Deathblow so he dies from the fall. Had he been positioned basically anywhere else in the level, he'd be invincible.

** The Giant Acidbeetle combines this with TacticalSuicideBoss; it's fought in a cave where a portal will repeatedly spew exploding orbs, which Ayden can use on the boss. Said beetle spends the whole boss battle airborne, but periodically lowers itself to grab Ayden with it's legs... with it's weak, soft underbelly in full view. Repeat until the beetle's dead.
** Horus is an ice giant vulnerable only to golden beams of light. How convenient then, since he's fought in an area containing a LightAndMirrorsPuzzle allowing Ayden to move panels into reflecting light and damage Horus.

* The second dragon boss in ''VideoGame/HellFighter'' is fought on some cliffs, where the dragon is above you. Conveniently, the cliff's sides ''can'' be shot out into a makeshift alcove for you to dodge 90% of the boss' attacks, and if you collect a HomingProjectile (available in the same area) you're in for a ZeroEffortBoss fight, since the dragon's attacks will keep missing you while you spam projectiles at it until it expires.

None of the Blight Ganons really qualify. This trope is about the boss arena containing the one thing that gives the player a fighting chance, not simply being laid out in such a way that expands the players' means of approaching the boss. That's just video game design 101.

*** Played straight with the Windblight and Fireblight Ganons fights. The back and wings of Vah Medoh have many spikes, spires and vents that serve no purpose other than to provide Link with cover and chances to snipe at Windblight. Vah Rudania's relatively flat back provides room to manuever away from Fireblight's giant sword and fireballs.
*** Played with in the Waterblight fight. Initially it is fought in a massive empty chamber but halfway through the fight, it will flood the room and force Link to fight on four tiny platforms.
*** Ultimately averted with Thunderblight Ganon where the room is cylindrical with sloping walls, narrow beams and ledges that block Link's aim of it and is very easy for him to get knocked off of.
