A particular form of Gimmick Level in which the player is faced with an enemy they can't defeat, and must flee from them. Often this enemy will reappear from time to time, prompting another Escape Sequence. Frequently, especially if the enemy has made repeat appearances, they will appear as a boss toward the end of the game, in some situation where the player can now defeat them. Compare the Advancing Boss of Doom, in which a Boss Battle begins with the player unable to fight the boss and having to flee, but after a certain amount of running, something will shift the balance of power, allowing the player to turn the tables and finish the job. Not to be confused with Collapsing Lair, which usually occurs at the end of games, and basically requires you to get out of the Very Definitely Final Dungeon alive after defeating the boss. See also: Indy Escape, Advancing Wall of Doom. |

Stage 5 of Battletoads for the Game Boy had the player running on foot from Brain Damage. Stage 5 of Battlemaniacs had a Minecart Madness escape from an enemy with a buzzsaw similar to the Clinger Winger stage in the original Battletoads, though that counts more as Advancing Boss of Doom since you actually fight the Hypno Orb at the end. | |

In Anarcute, the level Marmo Street in Anarland consists of a mad dash to the goal while outrunning the unavoidable Brainwash Patrols. They don't have any particular invulnerability, but their sheer numbers against your mere three rioters makes it virtually impossible survive a fight without the cache of batteries at the end of the level. | |

In Ori and the Will of the Wisps, the giant Sand Worm in Windtorn Ruins is the only creature in the game that is never fought directly, only fled from. At the end of the chase, it brings the ceiling down on top of itself. The Foul Presence also pursues Ori during the Wellspring escape, but the real threat is the Advancing Wall of Watery Doom, and it is later fought as a boss when it takes control of Kwolok. The Feeding Grounds have you evade Shriek in a Corridor Cubbyhole Run similar to the first game. | |

Guild Wars has this pop up in several missions. The Great Northern Wall ends with the party running away from an army of Charr. It's not difficult to outrun, with the only danger being a single spawn of mobs along the way, but the fact that a second group spawns from another spot as you approach your goal makes things more tense. The final section of Ice Caves of Sorrow is a long winding path the party mush run ahead of a group of Mursaat which is too large to fight. the path is populated with several groups of hostile Iron Summit and White Mantle as well as siege weapons, making constant fighting a necessity. The player-preferred solution to this section is to trigger the Mursaat's patrol and then retreating to a safe point; the Mursaat will pass by and clear the path of Iron Summit before dying in siege weapon fire. The introductory quest for Eye of the North has a timed sequence where the party is pursued by a large number of Destroyers. The only way to escape before the timer ends is to not fight. |

Metroid Fusion does this with the SA-X. While the SA-X is generally a Hopeless Boss Fight, it turns out that your superiors want the SA-X alive, so they tell you to run away from it even when you've gotten strong enough to give a good fight. For your last mission, you have to destroy all the X on the space station by crashing it into SR-388, and the final obstacle on the way to the control room is the SA-X. Of course, it's still invincible until the story calls for you to kill it, as the SA-X's last appearance prior to the fight is before you get the Plasma Beam, which is needed to damage it. |

Donkey Kong Country Returns: Crowded Cavern; even though you can't control your speed to outrun Mama Squeekly, you still have to dodge her attacks as she chases you to the end of the level. Muncher Marathon has Donkey and Diddy escape from a rapidly-growing swarm of spiders. Touching one of them means instant death. The end of Crumble Canyon, in which you have to outrun a giant flaming Tiki ball (which can kill you in one hit) while maneuvering through a series of obstacles. |

The Witch's House: There are few monsters in this puzzle-based game but they are all of this sort, as Viola has no way to fight them. The ending is the best example, where you must escape the physical form of the Witch. This involves running back through a significant section of the house, as well as avoiding obstacles that open up in front of you. The True Ending is unlocked by taking a diversion to pick up an item before making it out. | |

Happens a lot in the early chapters of Half-Life 2. In the first couple of chapters, Gordon has to flee through tenement buildings, across rooftops and over railway lines. Once he gains the crowbar and clubs a soldier to death for his 9mm, however, he can (mostly) stop running. Later, during the Route Kanal chapter, a Hunter-Chopper makes repeated appearances, forcing Gordon into sewers and similar to escape. Then follows an (amazing) airboat section in which dropships zoom overhead and you flee through the canals. After that, you encounter the Hunter-Chopper again, but are able to engage it in a Boss Battle with your Vort-enhanced pulse rifle. Episode II also had the Hunter-Chopper chase you as you fled in the muscle car. Once you reached the resistance outpost you can put on a clinic hurling the choppers mines back at it. |

A hilarious example in Alice: Madness Returns where you navigate Queensland while occasionally fleeing from the Executioner who was earlier mentioned to be invincible. Then you reach one point where you face it in a cutscene where the tables are turned. Cue the following Oh, Crap! moment and subsequent literal Curb-Stomp Battle. | |

Super Paper Mario has Mimi. When she transforms at the start of Chapter 2-4, she has an invincible barrier, and you have to flee into a maze. If you stay in one room too long, she suddenly appears there, and "MIMIMIMI..." appears as a warning. Once you find Merlee, however, Mimi traps you in a bathroom. But Merlee casts some sort of spell to remove her invincibility, making her beatable, and an actual fight. The original game had the sequence with Tubba Blubba. |

Final Fantasy XII has the escape from Ba'Gamman and his crew in the Lhusu Mines. You CAN be overleveled enough to defeat his crew, but it's unlikely (as there's four of them, they hit hard and fast, and have enough HP to out-tank you) and gives no reward aside from an alternate cutscene. It's far easier to run for it. | |

One occurs in World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King patch 3.3, it involves your 5man party plus one AI heroine (Jania Proudmoore for Alliance, Sylvanas for Horde) as you try to escape from the Lich King who keeps creating ice walls that your NPC ally has to destroy as he keeps sending undead minions at you. He can be damaged while advancing, but he has far too much health to be killed within the escape sequence. (Unless you used a bug to lead him in circles in the starting room instead of a planned course. In that case killing him "just" takes ages and he drops nothing.) It is not until the final encounter of the expansion's last raid that you finally fight him head-on. There's also some solo quests where the Lich King appears, and he starts casting Wrath of the Lich King. Run. |

Soul Nomad & the World Eaters had an example of this near the beginning. Only after having your ass handed to you and running away a few times do you get the power to actually kill one of the World Eaters. (Unless you've been through New Game Plus a few times...). The game also has the level that marks the first appearance of Thornedike. Any decently leveled party however is going to clear this one quite easy. | |

Resident Evil: The eponymous Nemesis of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis practically turns the entire game into this. It can only follow the player so far (usually a room or two) and can be temporarily "killed" nearly every time to cut the chases short. Doing so isn't encouraged (except to get bonus items) thanks to ammo rationing, but still. Resident Evil 4: There's a giant statue modeled after Salazar that chases you, complete with Collapsing Lair and Press X to Not Die. During the game's finale, Leon and Ashley have to escape quickly from the military island before it explodes. They flee with quickly driving a motorboat across a subterranean river. Resident Evil 6 has a few in Jake's campaign. First is the main one which references Nemesis, and similarly isn't defeated until the very end. There's also a minor example involving a tank in the same campaign. |

Divinity: Original Sin has a brief sequence in the Luculla Mines, where the Conduit sicks her Death Knights on you. Since the Death Knights are literally indestructible at that point in the game (you only find means to kill them later in the plot), you have to disengage and outrun them until you can use the Flee command. Thankfully, this is quite easy to do, since this particular batch of Death Knights is unfinished and has about half the speed of the regular ones. | |

This happens in almost every level of Pizza Tower.

Devil Survivor: On Day 6, one stage allows you to escape the Yamanote loop lockdown instead of defeating the enemies. Doing so results in a Non Standard Game Over in which angels obliterate everyone within the lockdown perimiter and strips all of humanity of their free will. One of the Day 7 routes has you escaping the lockdown as a mandatory objective, with similarly disastrous results in the game's worst ending, with demons taking over the world that turns out to be not much better than the lockdown you just escaped. |

At the end of a Starship Troopers Extermination mission, players must rush to the extraction dropship before their position is overrun by a swarm of bugs. If they're lucky, it'll just spawn about 100 meters out, making escaping a relative quick walk in the park. Other times, it'll spawn over 600 meters away, making the escape a hellish fight for survival. | |

The prologue of Luigi's Mansion 3 ends with King Boo trying to trap Luigi in a picture frame, just as he did with Mario, Peach and the Toads. Since Luigi is defenseless at the moment, all you can do is run to the end of the hallway and escape via falling down a laundry chute. And don't let King Boo catch you, or you'll get a Non Standard Game Over where Luigi gets framed, spending his last moments screaming in terror. | |

Given Sonic the Hedgehog's main ability, this naturally shows up in his games several times. The first level of the Hero Story in Sonic Adventure 2 has Sonic running from a large truck piloted by G.U.N. near the end. The first stage in Sonic Adventure, Emerald Coast had Sonic running away from a killer whale as it tears up the docks behind him. Most of Amy's levels involved her evading the evil, nearly invincible robot Zero. Sonic and the Secret Rings has Sonic chased by three dinosaurs at the start of one world. Lost Jungle in Sonic Heroes had a sequence during the last portion of level where Sonic and Shadow had to swing on vines to escape from a giant crocodile. Small section of Terminal Velocity Act 1 Stage of Sonic Colors, is this. Sonic briefly has to outrun a large purple eggbot with lasers. Sonic Generations features the return of City Escape and the GUN truck, except that it Took a Level in Badass. Specifically, it now has jet engines, Mecha-Mooks that it can dump on you, and three giant saw blades. There are even a couple of points where it completely destroys houses in its attempt to kill Sonic. |

A decent number of LEGO Adaptation Games feature a few level segments where the characters need to escape a threat that can't be directly fought, whether it's a giant monster, a Zerg Rush of smaller monsters, or an Advancing Wall of Doom. These segments usually have a few collectables that are easily missable, and you can't try for them again without restarting the level (though more recent LEGO games allow the selection of individual level segments, including chase scenes, so you don't need to replay the ENTIRE level if you miss something). | |

In the "Fortress of Kellar" expansion of HeroQuest (a board game based on Warhammer Fantasy), one "level" gives the bad guy player (like a Game Master, except that they're supposed to be trying to beat the heroes within bounds of the rules) permission to spawn mooks from the entrance every turn after the players get a bit of distance. Given that the only thing limiting the amount of mooks that will spawn is having enough figures, and killed figures become available again, there's no other option than to escape. | |

The Metroid series loves its escape sequences: Metroid Fusion does this with the SA-X. While the SA-X is generally a Hopeless Boss Fight, it turns out that your superiors want the SA-X alive, so they tell you to run away from it even when you've gotten strong enough to give a good fight. For your last mission, you have to destroy all the X on the space station by crashing it into SR-388, and the final obstacle on the way to the control room is the SA-X. Of course, it's still invincible until the story calls for you to kill it, as the SA-X's last appearance prior to the fight is before you get the Plasma Beam, which is needed to damage it. Metroid Dread heavily advertises this, with seven EMMI robots that are invulnerable to all of Samus's weapons hunting her down. Throughout the game, whenever Samus is in an "EMMI Zone", she must simply avoid and run away from the EMMI until she locates the temporary superweapon that will allow her to break their armor. |

The eponymous Nemesis of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis practically turns the entire game into this. It can only follow the player so far (usually a room or two) and can be temporarily "killed" nearly every time to cut the chases short. Doing so isn't encouraged (except to get bonus items) thanks to ammo rationing, but still. | |
