* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehogCD'': Amy shows up right after delivering the last hit to the final boss, implying she managed to get through the entire [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Metallic Madness Zone]] on her own. Not bad after spending most of the game as a DamselInDistress. She does something similar in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', where she somehow manages to get to Prison Island before Tails, and get to Sonic's prison cell while Tails is busy going through the actual level.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'': During Chapter 7, Kilika Rouran arrives to break up the battle between Walter and Zin atop Carnelia Tower, implying she got through the entire dungeon you just traversed ''solo''. Why you fight her (or rather, a copy of her with her exact skills and memories, ItMakesSenseInContext) in ''Sky the 3rd'', you'll see she's definitely strong enough to pull that off.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'': In the second game, [[MasterSwordsman Victor Arseid]] pulls a BigDamnHeroes to hold off [=McBurn=] in his demon form, one of Ouroboros' strongest Enforcers. If you backtrack to this room afterwards, you'll see that neither of them are there... and the ''entire room'' is severely damaged.

* ''VideoGame/{{Monark}}'' has the offscreen fight between Pactbearers [[TheGunslinger Ryotaro]] and [[StarterVillain Kurama]] before the start of the game, after Kurama attempted to force Ryotaro into his AssimilationPlot. All we know is that Ryotaro won it rather easily.

* In ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'', during the final chapter, Lady Clarissa apparently managed to [[spoiler:sneak up on Ori when she was spying on Elena (who is of a special bloodline that could possibly threaten the Moonshade Order), and she immediately saw through Ori's excuse of being a simple newspaper saleswoman. Apparently, no one has ever managed to catch Ori when she was snooping around before, and this is enough to convince Ori to give up on watching Elena]]. While the player can find journal entries telling them of this event, it's not directly shown onscreen.

* In ''VideoGame/TriangleStrategy'', Rudolph is a salt smuggler who got caught by the Aesfrosti guards shortly before the player has the chance to visit Aesfrost in Chapter 3. The soldier who tells Serenoa about this during Chapter 2 mentions that it took the Blackirons, Aesfrost's ''most elite troops'', to finally bring Rudolph in, and even then Rudolph managed to injure the soldier in question during the process.
