This is justified, because a friendly Construct NPC in the Great Sky Island tells him that the combat-oriented Constructs are mistakenly registering him as an unwanted presence in what should be Zonai-only areas. The exception is the [[spoiler:Seized Construct, the boss of the Spirit Temple; it is shown to be under the influence of Ganondorf's Gloom, and is deliberately obstructing Link and Mineru in their way to gather the last Sacred Stone, which corresponds to the latter as the Sage of Spirit]].

* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'', every chapter ends with a boss fight, so there are a few occasions where this trope comes into play:
** Ghisarma, the monster that acts as the boss of H'aanit's 1st chapter. While the existence of the beast is alluded to prior to the battle against it, it serves no actual role in H'aanit's story and only really exists to give her something to do before her plot actually gets underway, though it does provide further insight into H'aanit's personality, particularly her belief in the cycle of life and anger towards those who hunt for pleasure rather than for survival.
** The White [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragon]], the guardian of the herb-of-grace grove that acts as the boss of H'aanit's 3rd chapter. While it does have some indirect relevance to the story in that herb-of-grace protects people from being [[TakenForGranite turned to stone]]--one of [[EldritchAbomination Redeye]]'s most dangerous powers--the boss comes completely out of nowhere, with the only {{foreshadowing}} being from a random NPC in the nearby town. Susanna later reveals that she knew the Dragon was there all along, and deliberately withheld the information from H'aanit with the rationalization that if she couldn't slay it, then she wouldn't stand a chance against Redeye.
** Esmeralda, the thief who acts as the boss of Tressa's 4th chapter. Unlike most of the rest of the main characters, who are given an antagonist with a personal connection to them to act as their FinalBoss, Esmeralda is just a random thief who stole Tressa's journal, though it is implied that the reason she went after the journal is because she wants information regarding the whereabouts of [[spoiler:Graham Crossford or his son, Kit]]. On top of that, the actual fight against her comes right out of nowhere, as by that point, Tressa's already gotten the journal back and Esmeralda has admitted the thing is useless to her, with Esmeralda seemingly only attacking Tressa because she's an asshole.
** The Ogre Eagle, the [[OurGryphonsAreDifferent griffin]] that acts as the FinalBoss of Alfyn's story. While the player ''is'' told about the monster prior to actually encountering it, this is only slightly before the player is given the task of going after it. Similar to Esmerelda for Tressa, the Ogre Eagle doesn't act as a personal antagonist to Alfyn in spite of being the FinalBoss of his story, with it only really being fought because Alfyn needs something from it at the moment. Chapter 3's [[spoiler:[[TheSociopath Miguel]]]] acts as a more personal antagonist [[spoiler:by betraying Alfyn's trust [[UngratefulBastard after he treats his wounds]], causing a crisis of faith]].

* Dante plays this role in ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry4''. Nero thinks he is the Big Bad at first, since the first thing he does is interrupting a sermon and killing the local pope. He's actually just here to get Yamato back and discover what the Order of the Sword (for which Nero works) is up to. Then Nero discovers that the Not Quite Dead Pope in question is the real Big Bad, so Dante sort of becomes an AloofAlly.

When he defeats the last boss (who is simply standing on Garfield's way), he gets the fourth and final alarm clock, the awakening happens and the game ends.
