History Main / ZeroEffortBoss

* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireDragonQuarter'': The final boss is [[spoiler:Chetyre, a reawakened [[OurDragonsAreDifferent D-Construct]]]], who, in an inversion of the usual pattern, is ''very'' strong, able to damage Ryu's normally-invulnerable dragon form, and boasting an absurd amount of [[DamageReduction Absolute Defence]]. What makes him easy is that you have only one ability that can reach the boss. So, once you use it, [[spoiler:it fires until the D-Counter is maxed, after which Ryu goes [[BeyondTheImpossible over 100%]] of the D-Counter (normally it causes a NonStandardGameOver) and overpowers the dragon in a BeamOWar]]. Your only other available option is just waiting, or purposely messing up the input, which prompts the game to directly tell you what to do.

* The Gamecube port of ''VideoGame/{{Evolution}}'' seriously toned down the difficulty of the first installment. Almost any boss or combination of enemies was lethal, and their lethality scaled with player level. The game became harder the stronger the player was. This was inversely true for Worlds (a port of both the first and second games in a single campaign), with enemies having static levels and much lower stats. Bosses such as Eugene, Rafflesian, and Mandasks are absolute pushovers, and their levels are so low that you basically have to deliberately avoid leveling as much as you possibly can to have any trouble with them. Where once Eugene was almost [[ThatOneBoss unfairly powerful]], he's now [[SequelDifficultyDrop weaker than the first boss of the second game]]. A lot of this also had to do with them cutting three dungeons, four bosses, and several interior building cells from the port for some reason, shortening the first game by a substantial amount.

* The PostFinalBoss of ''VideoGame/BatenKaitosEternalWingsAndTheLostOcean'' offers no resistance whatsoever. Despite having a mountain of HP, his attacks are weaker than most of the mooks you've been facing for the past hour. [[spoiler:Granted, having the DiscOneFinalBoss' head suddenly rise from the earth and challenge the party to a battle]] was the ''last'' thing any player expected at that point, and it does provide for an interesting bit of story near the end.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel III'' has [[TheHero Rean Schwarzer]] soloing the FinalBoss in one of the most brutal [[CurbStompBattle curb stomps]] in the ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries''. All players literally have to do is just press circle[[note]]Japanese [=PS4=] version[[/note]]/cross[[note]]western [=PS4=] version or PC version with [=DualShock=][[/note]]/A[[note]]PC version with an Xinput - i.e. Xbox 360 or Xbone - controller, Switch version[[/note]]/the left mouse button[[note]]PC version, keyboard and mouse[[/note]] a few times and win. [[spoiler:This is because he uses his SwordOfPlotAdvancement, his SuperMode, and his HumongousMecha against a giant corrupted turtle. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero This ends up being a bad thing]], because the SwordOfPlotAdvancement is created from his dead friend and his SuperMode just had to go out of control, and he ends up just killing the beast, which then brings out the biggest DownerEnding of the franchise.]]

** [[MeaningfulName Face McShooty]] needs your help. Shoot him in the face. Even better than a boss, since this counts as a side-quest, meaning you get an experience-point reward. And an achievement if you're playing on Steam or the UsefulNotes/XBox.
