* DawnOfWar II: during most of the game, you need to decide which 3 squads will accompany your main character, leaving two of them behind. In the final mission, they all show up [[spoiler:having been evacuated from the exploding strike cruiser Armageddon, and you are joined by Gabriel Angelos.]] During the game, there is also a great deal of emphasis on keeping your units alive, here you also get an ability that makes all your units invincible.
* FinalFantasyX: After beating the Final Aeon, you must [[spoiler:summon and fight all of your own Aeons to prevent the BigBad from possessing them.]] During this battle, all your characters are given AutoRevive even after they die, meaning you almost can't lose even if you try.
* The last level of the Human campaignof WarcraftIII gives you a max-level paladin who can turn invincible, heal and ressurect/deal huge damage to his allies/enemies, has ridiculously high armor, and thanks to his UnholyHolySword, deals very high damage against everything. It's very much possible to have Arthas solo the mission once he obtains it, [[spoiler: even if the sword ''did'' take the life of his dwarven companion before he took it.]] The other factions tend to have it ''harder'' for their final missions (Night Elves never get Chimeras for theirs, Undead have to HoldTheLine against three bases with top-tier units with only one hero, Orcs are repeatedly attacked by demons that can land anywhere, including the middle of their base).
** The expansion's Orc campaign starts with basically an open-world RPG, the second sightly less so with some RealTimeStrategy, the third is a DefenseOfTheAncients-style map with four stupidly-high leveled, awesomely-equipped heroes.
** For most of the expansion's Undead campaign, Arthas actually ''loses'' levels as the Lich King loses power. On the last mission he finally can start gaining levels again, and has a high-level tank hero to protect him.
* Thanks to its random-generation system, the [[BonusDungeon grottoes]] of DragonQuestIX can have a boss that is ''vastly'' inferior to the monsters it contains.
