Honestly I dont think Goddamned Boss needs to exist, we already have tropes covering literally everything on that list and That One Boss covers everything opinionated already.
I could see a Wake Up Call Level trope existing, where you got past the tutorial and easy parts and X level cranks it up to the standard difficulty of the game (IE hard) head first and the rest of the game stays at that level from then on.

Okay, why is it that we have multiple tropes for frustrating or difficult bosses (That One Boss, Goddamned Boss, Wake-Up Call Boss...), yet we only really have one equivalent for levels (That One Level)? I've mentioned this before, and the answer was pretty much that Tropes Are Flexible for levels, yet that doesn't seem to stop multiple subtypes being split up for bosses. Heck, Goddamned Boss isn't even descriptive as a trope name, and the fact that it involves—in my opinion—completely unnecessary profanity doesn't help. Have we ever considered renaming it and subdividing That One Level into multiple pages?
