History Main / FinalBossNewDimension

** Finally (for now), ''VideoGame/Persona5'' has half of the game taking place in its own version of the collective unconscious, Mementos, with its TrueFinalBoss being fought at its deepest point.

%%Zero-context* ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} III'' and ''V''.

* Happens in the final battle with [[BigBad Emperor]] [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Percival]] [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Tachyon]] in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankFutureToolsOfDestruction'' due to an errant blast from the Dimensionator.

* The NES version of ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon II'' does this for the TrueFinalBoss fight with the Mysterious Warrior.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro: A New Beginning'', the boss fight against Cynder takes place in a convergence of the planes.
* For the first stage of the final battle of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry1'', Mundus transports himself and Dante into space.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'': The final boss battle takes place in an alternate dimension within an alternate dimension. Or something to that effect. Also, inverted in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', when, after going through the [[spoiler:second-to-]]last dungeon in an alternate dimension, during the boss battle Zant actually transports you to places in Hyrule visited previously during the game.

* In the final two episodes of the first season of Anime/{{Beyblade}}, protagonist Takao and antagonist Yuriy are warped into an otherworldly, frozen wasteland during their game. The outside just sees an enormous, spiked block of ice.

** The final mission in the [[VideoGame/{{Dishonored 2}} sequel]] likewise has Emily/Corvo chase Delilah into a ''different'' painting than in ''The Brigmore Witches'' that similarly leads into the Void.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask''. The final boss battle takes place in an alternate dimension within an alternate dimension. Or something to that effect. Also, inverted in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', when, after going through the [[spoiler:second-to-]]last dungeon in an alternate dimension, during the boss battle Zant actually transports you to places in Hyrule visited previously during the game.

* The ''Persona'' series likes this in general, with an emphasis on a manifestation of the collective unconscious. This is a series where [[UsefulNotes/CarlJung Jung Was Right]], after all.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}: Eternal Punishment'', the final dungeon is the Monado Mandala, part of the collective unconscious. In ''Persona 2: Innocent Sin'', the prequel, the final dungeon is Xibalba, a spaceship the Mayans built. [[spoiler:Which also turns out to have been a passage into the collective unconscious, which is hinted at then explicitly stated given the final boss room looks a lot like the "chamber" in a dream where Philemon greeted you near the beginning of the game.]]
** In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' you [[spoiler:are drawn up to the full moon which has transformed into Nyx's body during the Dark Hour]].
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' keeps its boss fights in the same alternate dimension half the game has taken place in all along, though... which is also arguably an aspect of the collective unconscious.
** Finally (for now), ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' has half of the game taking place in its own version of the collective unconscious, Mementos, with its TrueFinalBoss being fought at its deepest point.

* The final battle with Cyrus in ''[[VideoGame/{{PokemonDiamondAndPearl}} Pokémon Platinum Version]]'' [[spoiler:and the subsequent battle against Giratina both take place in the Distortion World; Giratina even enters from the top of scene as opposed to the side once the battle starts, and it gets no floor tile underneath it]].

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''
** In ''Brawl's'' ''Subspace Emissary'', the final boss fight with Tabuu is fought in the realm of Subspace.
** Any of the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series, actually - the fight with Master Hand (or Crazy Hand) takes place in some sort of other-dimension (this is, of course, before Subspace Emissary came up).
** The Wii U / 3DS iterations of the game take it a step further, with the background of the final bosses in Classic Mode changing when [[TrueFinalBoss Master Core]] enters the fray.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'' [[spoiler: Zanza]] is fought in a dimension called "Memory Space", which is essentially a projection of our very own Solar System, created from the boss' memories from [[spoiler: before he became a god]]. The boss battle itself takes place in a location called "Sentient Genesis": a [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield constantly-changing]] void of space-time, and the seat of the boss' power and influence.

* ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} III'' and ''V''.
* In ''VideoGame/BaldursGate II'', you fight the final boss in hell. Which, yes, is another dimension.
** And in the expansion you have the final showdown in Bhaal's old divine realm, the titular ''Throne of Bhaal''. Which is also in hell, but looks very different from the one in the main game (gods can customize their divine realms, which Bhaal did [[spoiler: and Amelyssan does]]).

** And Night Terror in 3. You fight inside Soul Edge itself.

* For the first stage of the final battle of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', Mundus transports himself and Dante into space.
* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}} 12'': ''Unidentified Fantastic Object'' has you fighting Byakuren in Hokkai, where she is sealed. Technically you got there in the previous stage, but close enough.

* Astaros in ''Robo VideoGame/{{Aleste}}''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Hellsinker}}'' does this in it's TrueFinalBoss, [[MindScrew we think]].

* ''[[Videogame/PanzerDragoon Panzer Dragoon Saga]]'''s final boss [[spoiler: Sestren]] is fought in a [[AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield psychedelic]] dimension [[spoiler: also called Sestren, that links together all the environment-controlling Towers in the world. It's implied that this dimension may actually be virtual, and Sestren a computer intelligence]].

* Happens frequently in the ''Diablo'' series of video games.

* You fight the second form of Wily Machine in ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Mega Man 11]]'' in an AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield.

* In a heroic and [[JustifiedTrope justified]] twist, [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Emiya Shirou]] ''weaponizes'' this trope in his final battle against Gilgamesh during the ''[[Anime/FateStayNightUnlimitedBladeWorks Unlimited Blade Works]]'' route by materializing his inner being into the real world as a barren, twilit pocket dimension filled with countless weapons. Cue dueling StormOfBlades.

** The final boss of the sequel, ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', complements the concept by luring you into the darkness ''beyond'' time, where timelines discarded or destroyed by temporal paradoxes end up.
*** To put it in another way, ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''' final boss takes you outside of the boundaries of time, space, and dimension, and can be compared to where the title ship went in ''Film/EventHorizon''; you're nowhere at all, not even in the scope of alternate dimensions. It's an impossible-to-define area, because it isn't technically existent nor nonexistent. You're beyond the capacities of known concepts of reality, and not even in an alternate dimension so much as what could be compared to the necessary imaginary and impossible number in some types of advanced mathematics. Yeah.

** After you defeat Bowser for the third time in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'', just as you're about to pick up the Grand Star, he pulls you into a black hole, and you fight him one more time here. If it weren't for the fact that this phase is [[AnticlimaxBoss laughably easy]], it would have been one of the best points of the game.

** [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in a sense in ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus''; the final boss is coming from his dimension into yours, so it's still a "Final Boss, New Dimension"... for ''him'', at least. Played straight in the Clank segments during the fight, though, although those are the parts when you're taking a break from the boss to do some platforming.

** The TrueFinalBoss of ''VideoGame/{{Persona}}'' is fought in the collective unconscious.

** [[spoiler:Xion]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2''. You are transported to [[spoiler:[[{{Disney/AliceInWonderland}} Wonderland]], [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Halloween Town]], [[{{Disney/Aladdin}} Agrabah]], and back to Twilight Town again]] in the FinalBoss fight.

** ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'': The final bosses of each "realm" of the house (heart, club, diamond, spade) do this.
