* In ''VideoGame/BattleRealms'', one of Serpent Clan Kenji's [[BondOneLiner lines when he slays a foe]] is "bow before '''me'''!". If you choose to "ally" with the monks instead of the ninja, Kenji also forces the monks to kneel before him in the post-battle cutscene.

** "''Sit'', [[spoiler:would you kindly.]]"
** In the ''VideoGame/{{BioShock 2}}'' opening, Sofia Lamb casually tells Subject Delta to "Kneel, please."

* Rozalin from ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' has an attack called "Kneel Before Me". Did we mention she uses it on her ''allies''? Let's also mention that it's a StatusBuff. The description's not exactly helpful, as it simply reads "You heard me."
* ''Franchise/DragonAge'':
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' - At the end of the ''Legacy'' [=DLC=], the sapient darkspawn Corypheus wakes up after being sealed for more than a thousand years. Despite his disorientation, he quickly demands Hawke and co. kneel before him.

* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In the fight against [[spoiler:Odin]] in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'', you can avoid instant death from his ultimate attack by using one of two commands that cause your character to kneel. There's still a chance that you will die from the damage done, but you at least reduce the chance.

* ''VideoGame/GuildWars Factions'' has Shiro doing this to some spirits he has captured.

* The BigBad from ''VideoGame/{{Hexen}}'' will say this to taunt the player.
--> "Bow to me, and I might be merciful!"
* [[EvilCounterpart Injustice Universe Superman]] does this to his defeated opponent in his victory scene in ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs''.

* In the campaign mode of ''VideoGame/{{Injustice 2}}'', Grodd demands that Black Canary kneel at his feet. Before fighting him, Canary's response is "Kneel before Grodd? [[LampshadeHanging That doesn't sound right]]."
* ''VideoGame/JediAcademy'': Near the end ([[MultipleEndings one of them]]), [[spoiler:the ghost of Marka Ragnos]] declares the PlayerCharacter ''will'' kneel before him. Instead of whining at you to do it, which wouldn't be likely to work, he immediately sets out to beat the crap out of you to make you submit/dead.

** And in the Sith Warrior storyline, you release the imprisoned [[SealedEvilInACan Dread Masters]] (super-old and powerful Sith who can use The Force to terrify entire FLEETS into surrender) during the third arc. Upon release, they promptly turn their powers on you, forcing both your character and their companion to their hands and knees. This gives you the option of either mouthing off to them in a show of bravado, whereupon they unleash MORE power on you and force you even LOWER, or deciding that you're too badass for their nonsense and standing up after shaking their influence off.

* ''Videogame/SaltAndSanctuary'': The Scarecrow you often encounter talks about how even the most powerful beings out there kneel to him, and that you will, one day, join them. Even if you persist, one day you will break, sink into despair, and finally kneel before it.

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
** Generally subverted during demon negotiations. Demons often demands tribute from the hero, and in [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV one game]] can order the hero to submit (there's [[ButThouMust no option to refuse]]), but the end result is ([[LuckBasedMission usually]]) the hero enslaving the demon.
** That said, in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiI'', agreeing to become a demon's slave [[SchmuckBait can end with the negotiator]] being temporarily Charmed.
** During the [[OmnicidalNeutral Massacre route]] of ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIVApocalypse'', [[PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo Flynn]] is brainwashed into serving [[VillainProtagonist Nanashi]].

** High Prophet Barim, a boss in the Lost City of the Tol'Vir in Cataclysm, will yell "Kneel before me and repent!" midway through the battle. The players will be drawn to him, forced to kneel and have their souls sucked out of their bodies, forcing them to kill the Harbinger of Darkness before they can resume the battle against him.
** We also have Cho'gall, using his Conversion ability to force players to kneel and worship him, granting him more power. Said players' companions had best snap them out of it quick.
* In ''VideoGame/WanderingHamster'', there's a certain sentient spleen who wants Bob to kneel before him. Kneeling gives no results (expect for spleen's comment), and the only way to get past him is to refuse to kneel (and thus, fight him).
* Losing to Marik in ''VideoGame/YuGiOhCapsuleMonsterColiseum'' makes him delighted to see the Pharaoh groveling before him. Bandit Keith mentions this as well, but tires of it and tells him to get lost.
* ''VideoGame/YuGiOhTheFalseboundKingdom'' inverts this, as Marthis demands Kaiba ''stand'' before Emperor Heishin.
