1 | '''Basic Trope''': A video game generously distributes items that will be needed in an upcoming event. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Before fighting the FinalBoss [[TransformingMecha Transforming Mecha]], the player is given a great deal of [[{{Med Kit}} first aid kits]] and [[IncendiaryExponent incendiary bullets]]. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Before fighting ANY {{Mook}} the player is showered with equipment and healing items. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': There is always a modest sized ammo cache and a medkit before a boss fight but they are scattered throughout the dungeon before entrances anyway. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** The badass army is continuously airdropping supplies to allow demolitions to safely clear a path and take down the {{Mecha}} [[NoCasualtiesRun with minimal casualties]]. |
7 | ** The boss himself [[WorthyOpponent wants you to be at your best when fighting him]]. |
8 | ** That's the base's first aid station you've raided. [[note]]might explain why the bosses are so much harder/longer if you don't take those supplies[[/note]] |
9 | ** (For Exaggerated): EVERY {{Mook}} is a {{Demonic Spider|s}}, being tough to kill, extremely fast, and come in packs... You're gonna need all of that good stuff. |
10 | * '''Inverted''': |
11 | ** Before boss fights [[BagOfSpilling the player loses all useful items on his person]]. |
12 | ** Defeating the boss gives the player a bunch of items that would have been useful BEFORE the fight. |
13 | ** Supplies dry up completely leading up to a boss fight. |
14 | * '''Subverted''': |
15 | ** The rooms before boss fights only contain useless potions... |
16 | ** The room packed with equipment and healing items is the last room; no boss fight comes after it... |
17 | * '''Double Subverted''': |
18 | ** ... [[LethalJokeItem Which when thrown on the boss do extremely high damage]]. |
19 | ** … for the fake boss fight behind [[SchmuckBait the turquoise (instead of aqua) boss door]], you need to use the dull looking key found there at the locked door at the start of the level to get to the real boss. |
20 | ** ... but the next dungeon starts with a tough boss fight. |
21 | * '''Parodied''': |
22 | ** The player finds a "Good Luck With The Boss In The Next Room!" cake that restores all health. |
23 | ** The player finds dozens of ammo crates before a BreatherBoss. |
24 | ** The supplies come with a note from the Devs: "You've arrived at ThatOneBoss. Remember; deep breaths." |
25 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Sometimes the game gives you useful items before a boss. Sometimes, it does not. |
26 | * '''Averted''': Nothing is found before the boss fight. |
27 | * '''Enforced''': The Dev team thinks the boss cannot be beaten without special items, so there. |
28 | * '''Lampshaded''': "This stuff we found here...I feel like we are going to need it soon..." |
29 | * '''Invoked''': |
30 | ** The boss's sense of honor demands a fight on equal terms so you'll be as prepared as he is for the fight. |
31 | ** The DamselInDistress gave false information about TheHero being allergic to his PowerUpFood. |
32 | * '''Exploited''': The FiveManBand sold the items they found and bought the BFG [[SequenceBreaking they are supposed to get two hours later.]] [[GameBreaker No one in the party ever dies again.]] |
33 | * '''Defied''': Before the boss fights you'll find an area that once held generous supplies heavily looted and anything left behind burned. |
34 | * '''Discussed''': "Now that we got our items, let's go beat up whatever is in the next room!" |
35 | * '''Conversed''': "This game always showers you with items when a boss is in the next room...where are those from, anyways?" |
36 | * '''Deconstructed''': The team takes the weapons...and when they try to use them, finds out that they don't work, because the BigBad left them there as ShmuckBait. |
