[[ExampleAsAThesis So you're]] fighting the QuirkyMinibossSquad, a BossInMookClothing, A GiantEnemyCrab, TheDragon, or perhaps the BigBad himself. Unfortunately, they're [[HealingFactor shrugging off most of the blows you deliver to them normally]] or are [[MadeOfIron otherwise hard]] [[NighInvulnerable to kill]]. What to do?

Simple. Find a weapon, WeakSpot or technique that can hit for massive damage.

This is often, but not always, a {{Video Game Trope|s}}.

These may be intentional [[GameBreaker or otherwise]]. In properly skilled hands, these may allow one to [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu take on an]] EldritchAbomination or even a [[OurGodsAreGreater God]].

Should [[ComesGreatResponsibility be used responsibly]] or [[AGodAmI bad]] [[ComesGreatInsanity things]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt can]] [[EarthShatteringKaboom happen]].

[[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] the specific trope that formerly went under this name, which is now AttackItsWeakPoint.
