Recurring Boss	comment	A boss who you have to face several times (usually three) over the course of the game, though not in back-to-back battles. There's a few ways it can go: The boss flees when defeated, only to come back later (presumably after some Level Grinding). The boss is unbeatable in their first appearance(s), and the players must either flee or survive their attacks; they can only be fought back and defeated in the final showdown. The player(s) actually kill the boss, only for them to be resurrected later on by some means and come back for another go. This isn't much different from facing distinct bosses, but may help refine the scope of the story. The nature of the conflict doesn't require a lethal outcome. The boss is actually part of a species or a rank, so multiple versions of them can exist. For the first two cases, the same tricks and tactics will usually work to defeat the boss each time — though frequently, the player will not be able to execute the required trick in the early appearances (especially if it's a Hopeless Boss Fight). Alternatively, the boss may announce during a later confrontation that he has gained an immunity to whatever beat him last time. Any version can turn out to be the Final Boss in their most powerful form, depending on how the boss relates to the surrounding plot; alternately, the decisive final battle against this boss may be held back as a Superboss or even a True Final Boss. In action games, they often take the form of an Implacable Man. He may end up suffering a Rasputinian Death. Compare Goldfish Poop Gang, a comic-relief antagonist (or group of antagonists) that show up repeatedly and are often Recurring Bosses. Compare Legacy Boss Battle, a boss that recurs throughout multiple installments of a series rather than a single game. Compare Degraded Boss, which is when a boss recurs, but are no longer a boss when they do. Varying Tactics Boss is a Sub-Trope in which the boss character has a completely new strategy every time they show up. May also be The Rival.

Recurring Boss / int_10d30395	comment	In Shin Megami Tensei II, Daleth is fought four times. He is first fought as the first huge plot boss of the game in which he kills Beth, but his later appearances are simple miniboss fights. After a fifth attempt at trying to ruin Aleph's life, he ends up dropping out of the plot. There's also another example — one fought less, but more plot important: Zayin, at least on Neutral or Chaos. The first, required fight with him is as the boss of the Factory Prison. His second fight, exclusive to Neutral and Chaos, is against his One Winged Angel form Satan, this game's leader of the Law faction who is fought as the penultimate boss of the game before YHVH.

Recurring Boss / int_17bfcf60	comment	Homeworld: The Imperial cruiser and carrier in the original game are Type 3 in their early appearances: you encounter a ship of each type in multiple missions, they are the most dangerous opponents every time (the cruiser due sheer firepower, the carrier due its ability to build other ships and because its escape often means automatic loss), and once you've killed them you only need to mop up. In the final mission they are degraded to The Dragon level, though, as the first two cruisers and the first carrier you face lead the enemy attack forces while the second carrier and the second three cruisers are guarding the Big Bad's ship. The Beast's Mothership in Cataclysm is a Type 2: you first encounter it at its weakest, when it's still just your original hangar module that you jettisoned when it got corrupted by the Beast, but you have no idea what happened to it and don't dare to go near and have to run when a large Turanic-Taiidan Imperialist force doesn't listen your warnings and gets corrupted; the second time you meet it it's complete, and you are forced to run again when your newly-acquired Siege Cannon fails to disintegrate it due you having no idea of how it works; it's only at the third encounter that you can finally destroy it with the Siege Cannon, now fully operative thanks to help from its original builders.

Recurring Boss / int_183290f3	comment	Several bosses in Tactics Ogre, depending on which path you go through. Let us Cling Together: On the Chaotic path, Oz, but this fight with him is a bit out of the way. In the neutral path, he doesn't escape. You fight Ganb throughout the entire game, with an optional way to recruit him in Chapter 4, along with several of his monsters. Martym in a sidequest. He dies for real around the final boss. The Knight of Lodis: You see Nichart several times throughout the story and you know you'll have to fight him... but then you finally do, while he taunts you with a nice spear during the fight. Except that when you beat him... he doesn't drop it, and he runs off with it. You do face him for real later on, but by the time he drops it, you might have had something better by then.

Recurring Boss / int_187d5707	comment	Every boss in the original Devil May Cry is of the first variety, fought exactly three times. Most bosses are the first type, except for the final boss, who is the third type (and his fights are one after the other). The Evil Counterpart Nelo Angelo's fights are spaced out evenly along the plot, while the other three bosses each have their three fights in relatively short (though not immediate) succession. In addition, Nightmare has an attack which forces you to fight weaker versions of killed bosses, allowing them to recur more than three times. Devil May Cry 3 also has Vergil and, the Special Edition, Jester, who you fight three times each.

Recurring Boss / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Gharnef in Shadow Dragon is present on the map midway through the game, and you must simply survive him because it is a Hopeless Boss Fight without Starlight. The second time, you can fight him for real after picking out the real Gharnef amongst his doppelgangers. Genealogy of the Holy War has Ishtar, who is considered That One by the fanbase and is fought THREE TIMES. On every occasion, she carries Mjolnir and poses a very real threat of a One-Hit Kill if she lands an attack (which, with Mjolnir's +20 skl, she will). Oh, and she also has Adept, meaning the Random Number God can screw you by giving Ishtar another attack when surviving two Mjolnirs to the face is PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Thracia 776 has a few: Galzus plays almost an identical role as the Black Knight: mysterious, frighteningly deadly One-Man Army whose occasional appearance forces your party to run in the opposite direction. He's not invincible, but for the better part of the game he's close enough to count. Mercifully he can be recruited near the very end without having to deal with him directly. Saias turns up a couple times during the game, but as less of a boss and more of an incredible nuisance - thanks to having 10 authority stars, his mere presence pumps up the entire enemy force into Demonic Spiders until you do something to make him leave. He also is recruitable late-game, but by then he has lost the overpowered buff. Several high-ranking enemies, such as Riev and Lyon, appear in a handful of chapters of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, calling monsters and leading armies from the rear, while a particularly strong monster or general leads individual troops. They will defend themselves if attacked, and if defeated, will decide that they don't feel like dying early in the plot and leave, most of the time only giving heaps of experience. The Black Knight from Path of Radiance appears on the map a total of three times throughout the game, but you don't possess the means to damage him until the third. The first two, he must be avoided, as he can easily kill anyone who steps into his attack range. In the sequel, Radiant Dawn, he appears as an enemy twice, and can be killed both times, though doing so the first time is both dangerous and pointless, since there is no reward for defeating him and you will be unable to recruit another character later in the game if you do. Validar in Awakening, under very unusual circumstances — the first time in the Spoiler Opening, his proper debut in Chapter 6, the rematch in chapter 23 where the Spoiler Opening took place, and then again in that chapter where he finally takes the kid's gloves off. In Fates, almost all of the playable characters you turn against are this. The absolute king of this trope, however, is Takumi in Conquest — you have to put the son of a bitch down on five separate occasions, to the point where during the final fight with him and the final battle in Conquest overall, even his own sane spirit just wants him to give up and die already. Xander is also technically fought five times in Birthright, but is nowhere near as prominent of a threat as Takumi is for various reasons.note Xander is a Cutscene Boss in the Prologue and a Warmup Boss in Chapter 1. In Chapter 6, you temporarily get Ryoma to deal with him, in Chapter 12 he's a Skippable Boss on an escape map, and in Chapter 26 he has crossed the Despair Event Horizon and has extremely poor stats for a boss that late in the game. While Takumi is theoretically skippable in Chapters 6 and 10, doing so in the former is impractical since you can only leave one survivor and he's one of the first enemies to reach you, while in the latter taking him out stops him from sabotaging your defensive line with a Dragon Vein. Co-Dragons Iago and Hans are also fought twice each in Birthright, and Arete is fought three times in Revelation. In Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Slayde is promoted from a random one-off boss to this. He is fought three times in the game proper and once in DLC. Canon Foreigners Fernand and Berkut are also fought on three separate occasions. Many examples in Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Hubert takes the cake here, as on Azure Moon you can fight him a whopping seven times. Yes, you saw that right. Oh, and whenever you fight him after the timeskip, prepare for Villain: Exit, Stage Left when beating him on any encounter except his last. The Death Knight appears as a miniboss in no fewer than six chapters. The first four times he appears, he's an obstacle that exists to advertise the power of the Flame Emperor, until midway through the game, when he could be realistically defeated without exploiting a Disc-One Nuke. Post-timeskip, he's fought once more on Azure Moon and twice more on Silver Snow and Verdant Wind, and you can even go another round with him if you recruit both Caspar and Mercedes and play their shared paralogue. Kostas, the bandit leader hired to attack the lords in the prologue, returns two chapters later with a chip on his shoulder, desperate to exact his revenge. On the Crimson Flower route, Rhea is fought three times, including as the Final Boss. On all routes other than Crimson Flower, Randolph and Ladislava are first fought as minor midbosses before coming back for a rematch a couple of chapters later. Every playable character other than Byleth, Marianne, Alois, Shamir, Anna, and the Ashen Wolves is fought in at least one battle in Part I, and then fought in a legitimate fight to the death in Part II if you didn't poach them on at least one route. Edelgard and Hubert deserve special mention, as one of them is tied with the Death Knight for most appearances as an enemy in one game depending on whether or not you count paralogues. Acheron (all routes) and PallardÃ³ (Azure Moon and Verdant Wind) can be fought in Part I paralogues if Lorenz and Anna, respectively, are in your party, and are fought again in Part II. Fire Emblem Engage: Ivy and Hortensia, the princesses of the kingdom of Elusia, are fought twice each during Chapters 7-10, along with their retainers. Ivy's party pulls a Heelâ€“Face Turn in Chapter 11, and Hortensia is fought once more in Chapter 14 (having been turned Brainwashed and Crazy) before she has her own Heelâ€“Face Turn, with Rosado and Goldmary following suit at the start of Chapter 16 after she convinces them that you're no longer enemies. The Four Hounds take center stage as antagonists starting with Chapter 11, but in their first appearance as bosses, they're a Hopeless Boss Fight, and your objective is to outrun them as they use their stolen Emblem Rings against you. After you get to a point where you can start fighting back, they take turns as bosses across multiple chapters, beginning with Chapter 14.

You then fight him again in that same chapter alongside Nanba, then in the next chapter by himself, and then once again in the penultimate chapter alongside Mirror Face. Zheng and Akira Mabuchi are both fought three times, though the third fight for both of them is optional as it is a Dual Boss fight that comes at the end of Zhao's Drink Links.

Unlike Kuze, though, most of his fights happen within the first half of the game, as opposed to being more spread out.

It gets an upgrade from the fourth encounter onwards with you fighting a stronger red version of the regular version, and at least one of the last encounters sees you facing two Bloodthirsters. Lu Ting-han is fought twice, though the first time occurs as mercy on your part - having mistaken you as a traitor, Lu Ting-han attacks you on sight until you defeat him; he then demands you kill him, but your refusal leads to him reacting with a Don't You Dare Pity Me!... he finally buys it that you're not a traitor after you defeat and spares him a second time.

Some encounters are avoidable entirely as long as Samus doesn't expose herself, but the later ones always force you to give yourself away to it and then flee. It can be stunned with Ice Missiles, but only briefly. Also in Fusion, the B.O.X. security robot is the first variety. In the initial encounter it's merely gone rogue, and Samus does enough damage to expose its organic components before it flees. It subsequently reappears much later in the game, having been taken over by the X.

Recurring Boss / int_2d644371	comment	Tales Series: It's a tradition of the series to have at least one recurring boss in each game. Tales of Phantasia has you fight Dhaos a total of three times (Five if you count his additional forms in the final battle). Tales of Destiny 2 has you fight Barbatos Goetia three times in the story, and two more times as a Superboss. Tales of Symphonia: Yggdrasil encompasses all of these elements. He's unbeatable in his first appearance, leaves during his second, and transforms during his final appearance. He can be beatable in his second fight, but you have to be max lvl and do it really fast. You must also fight Kratos thrice and Botta twice, who either don't care if they win or lose or just plain won't stay defeated. You can also face past versions of Kratos, Yuan, and a young form of Yggdrasil again in the PS3 version of the game in a bonus dungeon. Pronyma and Sheena. The Sword Dancer is faced three times, but he's an Optional Boss. The sequel has Alice and Decus, each of whom are fought first individually, then later act as one of the penultimate bosses as a Dual Boss. Tales of Rebirth: The Four Stars appear in many variations through the game, but Saleh and Tohma are the ones you will be seeing most often. They are both faced three times: at the climax of act 1, you fight them together. They then attack you individually during Act 2 in order to foil the hero's plans. The final confrontation comes before the final dungeon, where they are joined by Militsa and Waldu for an epic 4 against 4 boss fight. If you haven't had enough of them, the bonus dungeon lets you fight the Four Stars all over again...only this time there's 8 of them in the fight! Tales of the Abyss: The Oracle Knights will be hounding you most of the way: Van Grants. Even though you defeat him in battle two-thirds into the game, he comes back as the Final Boss. Sync is fought once in a set of ruins with Largo, another time in the core where he apparently gets knocked off the Tartarus, then is the penultimate boss in the final dungeon. Legretta is fought once early in the game, again on the mountains and apparently gets swept off the mountain along with Arietta and Largo in an avalanche, then again in the final dungeon. Largo was once fought with Sync, then again with Legretta and Arietta, and finally later (but not the final dungeon!). Arietta is fought first of the Oracle knights, then again with Legretta and Largo, and finally much later in the game. Tales of Innocence started the trend of making a Talkative Loon assassin-like character with little motivation other than seeing things burn the Recurring Boss. Hasta and his inane ramblings have to be dealt with three times: once in the Garam volcano (which is an exhausting dungeon), then in the Northern Battlefield, and finally on the way to the final boss. In case you weren't already sick of him, Innocence R added at least one extra fight against him before recruiting Hermana. And in the he wishes to be reborn just to fight some more. Tales of Vesperia features Zagi, who uses the first and third forms. You fight Zagi a total of five times throughout the game. (Six if you include the "Sidequest dungeon".) And no matter how many times he's tossed off a boat or had his arm blown up, he just does not back down. Lampshaded by Estelle and Judith, who, by the final time he's encountered, tell him "Stop bothering us!" and "...Don't you ever die?" Tales of Graces features Richard/Lambda. You fight him in his normal (albeit possessed) human form twice, One-Winged Angel humanoid form twice, a vision of Lambda as he first appeared once, and his true Lambda Angelus form as the final boss. Tales of Hearts: Incarose is fought on two occasions in the DS version, and three in the Vita version. The first fight comes after she has made herself into a giant Hate Sink and released Creed. The second fight, exclusive to the Vita version, pits Chalcedony solo against two of her bodies. Her last appearance is at the top of Beanstalk, where she is sufficiently powered up by fusing with the Seraph brothers to compensate for the loss of her bodies. Tales of Xillia: The Chimeriad are all fought in three battles each, save for Jiao, who only shows up for two battles. All four of them appear together in the arena as an optional battle, as well. Their boss Gaius also fights you three times; the first as a very powerful Climax Boss that you don't actually have to defeat (though you get some nice experience and loot for doing so), then as the penultimate boss, and one half of the Final Boss pair. The other half of that pair, Muzet, you fight twice in Jude's path and an additional time in Milla's. In Tales of Xillia 2, Ridaeux can be fought as many as three times, (The first encounter being optional, but most people will pick it over the alternative for obvious reasons). Chronos is also fought on three occasions, and upgrades his tactics significantly with each encounter.

He is first fought as the first huge plot boss of the game in which he kills Beth, but his later appearances are simple miniboss fights. After a fifth attempt at trying to ruin Aleph's life, he ends up dropping out of the plot. There's also another example — one fought less, but more plot important: Zayin, at least on Neutral or Chaos. The first, required fight with him is as the boss of the Factory Prison. His second fight, exclusive to Neutral and Chaos, is against his One Winged Angel form Satan, this game's leader of the Law faction who is fought as the penultimate boss of the game before YHVH. In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the Spectre comes back over and over, convinced you want to steal his Magatsuhi when you're just trying to pass through the Amala Network. Even at the end, when he invokes Make My Monster Grow by absorbing several other Spectres, he would still have gotten away had his paranoia not gotten the best of him.

Special mention goes to the Witch and Tank, the toughest by far in terms of health (the strongest of the regular Special Infected, the Charger, has 600 health; the Witch has 1,000 and the Tank has, depending on difficulty or mode, between 3,000 to 8,000) and the strongest in terms of damage, which are in turn the rarest in terms of spawning, typically seeing only one per chapter compared to the relatively-nonstop deluge of the other Special Infected. There are, however, exceptions, mostly for Tanks, who spawn at set intervals during finales - one at the halfway point, one just before the end, and then another one as the rescue vehicle is arriving in a last-ditch effort to stop the Survivors - and at least one guaranteed spawn during a regular level in The Sacrifice, complete with a unique character skin.

(Six if you include the "Sidequest dungeon".) And no matter how many times he's tossed off a boat or had his arm blown up, he just does not back down. Lampshaded by Estelle and Judith, who, by the final time he's encountered, tell him "Stop bothering us!" and "...Don't you ever die?"

Recurring Boss / int_3e5c6c5a	comment	Super Mario 64: You fight Bowser three times, and the strategy is the same in all cases with some variations. In the first two fights, it's only necessary to throw him onto one of the explosive mines, and the reward is a key that opens a door leading to a new part of the Castle; in the third fight, Bowser can only be defeated after three explosions, and Mario's victory leads to Peach's liberation and the game's conclusion.

Recurring Boss / int_4110f1d0	comment	Baten Kaitos: In Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, Giacomo and his crew appear several times as bosses, even forcing two difficult fights sequentially (to the annoyance of many gamers). They've even got their own theme music, "Chaotic Dance." Giacomo also appears several times in Origins (complete with a remixed "Chaotic Dance"), though he's rather less threatening and stops showing up near the end of Disc 1. It also features outer dimensional worm creatures which break through where reality is weak, or something along those lines. Also, one of the supporting bad guys turns into a crotch-eyed abomination which gets mirrored in one of the optional sidequests in the desert. In Baten Kaitos Origins, the heroes have to face one boss, the Lord of the Lava Caves, three times in about ten minutes of game. Notable because the (otherwise serious) heroes hang lampshades all over the encounter, complaining bitterly about how difficult the boss is and how annoying the repetitive fights are, and even stomping spitefully on his corpse when he goes down for good.

Recurring Boss / int_41d79599	comment	Dark Forces Saga: Desann, the Big Bad of Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, is the second variety. At the point you first fight him in the story, Kyle has abandoned his Force abilities out of fear of falling to the Dark Side, meaning he's completely and totally outmatched by Desann - he doesn't even really directly attack you so much as let you kill yourself with your own deflected blaster shots, when he's not pushing and pulling you around the arena with the Force. His Dragon, Tavion, retreats completely when Kyle defeats her later but returns for the sequel, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, as the new Big Bad, proving to have been of the first variety. She is now much stronger, and when you think she's done for in the Light Side ending path, you find she's got the tendencies of the third variety. And she now has a Dragon of her own, who is the first type. Boba Fett himself appears as a boss in both the original Dark Forces and a late-game Boss-Only Level of Jedi Academy.

Recurring Boss / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring reuses nearly every boss and miniboss, to varying degrees. Major bosses associated with an achievement are either never reused, or only reused once or twice. If they are reused, the earlier appearance will usually only be able to employ a small fraction of their overall move set (on top of being much weaker) to keep the fights distinct. It's not too noticeable as their move sets are roughly twice as big as a regular boss's anyway. In-universe, it'll be explained that either the boss is simply a very rare type of being rather than a specific individual, or if it is a specific individual, that you were either Fighting a Shadow or their relative who looks/fights like them. Totally unique bosses include Malenia, Rennala, Radahn, Rykard, the God-Devouring Serpent, the Fire Giant, Placidusax, Radagon, Hoarah Loux,note He's technically the same character as Godfrey, but they're different bosses with completely distinct move sets and models. Maliketh,note Same story as Hoarah Loux: technically the same character as the Beast Clergyman, but is distinct as an actual boss. and the Elden Beast (these eleven are uniquely never reused). Bosses reused once or twice with their move sets usually significantly expanded in the stronger fight include Fortissax/Lansseax, Commanders O'Neill/Niall, Blaidd/Baleful Shadow, Godrick/Godefroy, Ancestor Spirits, Dragonkin Soldiers, Red Wolves of Radagon, Mimic Tears, Astels, Fallingstar Beasts, Godfrey, Loretta, Mohg, Morgott/Margit, and the Beast Clergyman. The invader-type bossesnote Like Adan, Moongrum, Esgar, Fia's Champions, Necromancer Garris, Patches, Sir Gideon Ofnir, and Esgar. are with one exception (Vyke) also never reused, though they're lacking in uniqueness in the first place. Some bosses who don't fit the above definition have two or three variants with slightly different move sets and are overall used four or five times, but their move sets are not as complex as major bosses (even with variants considered) and they usually don't much story relevance. Lore-wise they're usually just rare classes of beings rather than specific individuals. These include Godskin Apostles, Godskin Nobles, Magma Wyrms, Bell-Bearing Hunters/Elemer of the Briar, Deathbirds, Death Rite Birds, Tree Sentinels/Draconic Tree Sentinels, Tibia Mariners, Demi-Human Queens, and Valiant Gargoyles/Black Blade Kindred. Field/Dungeon bosses are reused constantly (over ten for some types), usually also have two or three variants, and show up as minibosses later in the game (i.e. they're as strong or stronger than they always were but they're not treated as bosses because they don't get their own arenas or screen-spanning health bars). However, they're still distinct from the dozens of mere Degraded Boss typesnote Like Trolls, Demi-Human Chiefs, Beastmen, Battlemages, Pumpkin Heads, Bloodhound Knights, Grave Warden Duelists, Sanguine Nobles, Guardian Golems, and Cleanrot Knights. because more often than not they don't respawn. These bosses include Leonine Misbegotten/Warriors/Crusaders, Cemetery Shades, Lion Guardians, wyvern-type Dragons, Erdtree Burial Watchdogs, Onyx/Alabaster Lords, Grafted Scions, Black Knives, Tree Crucible Knights, Axe Crucible Knights, Crystalians, Tree Spirits, Erdtree Avatars, and Night's Cavalry.

Recurring Boss / int_49a88442	comment	In Final Fantasy XIV, this is the modus operandi of the Primals. Primals are drawn into existence by belief, and then 'temper' those around them so that they worship the Primals unthinkingly. Even when they're destroyed temporarily, they keep getting brought back, and oftentimes stronger than ever. From Heavensward, we have Nidhogg, the dragon commanding the Dravanian dragon hoards against Ishgard. The first time he is fought is as a boss during The Aery dungeon. The second time is as a trial after coming Back from the Dead by possessing the dragoon Estinien. Zenos yae Galvus shows up repeatedly over the course of Stormblood. The first two times, he pulls out just what he needs from his Ronco Peel-O-Matic knife rack. The third time, all the chips are down. And then he fuses with Shinryu. He shows up a fourth time as an instance boss near the end of the MSQ (albeit with an Ascian controlling his corpse), then a fifth and final time at the end of Endwalker as another instance boss (no Asican possession this time). Gilgamesh, a guest character from Final Fantasy V, is fought twice over the course the 2.X Hildebrand questline: once on a Big Bridge, and again in a Big Keep. He shows up a third time in Kugane Ohashi (another big bridge) in the 4.X Hildebrand questline after discarding his disguise as the mercenary samurai Yojimbo. If one is to count the boss fight in Kugane Castle when he fights in his Yojimbo disguise, that extends the count to four battles with Gilgamesh total. Diabolos first appears as the boss of The Lost City of Amdapor in A Realm Reborn. He fakes his death there and comes back for the Heavensward expansion's 24-man raids, serving as the final boss of Dun Scaith, where he dies. Then he comes back two expansions later as The Diablo Armament, final boss of the Dalriada dungeon.

Recurring Boss / int_49aa2aa4	comment	Ace Combat loves this. Most commonly the first and maybe encounter with a boss/squadron is hopeless, but then later on you can damage them enough to send them running away, before typically finishing them once and for all near the end of the game. In order: Ace Combat 2 and its 3DS remake have the Z.O.E. planes. The original is noteworthy in that you do actually shoot them down every time, they just come back with a better plane; Legacy makes the first two flee upon taking enough damage, but then the last three are shot down normally. Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies has Yellow Squadron. Untouchable the first time you see them, you can only hit them once to send them running away the next time, then the third time has you finally shoot one of them down to complete the mission. By the final stretch of the game they're showing up in every mission, and there's little note made of it except when they make a final stand in defense of their capital. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War has Grabacr Squadron. Nearly-untouchable the first time, then each half of the squadron ends up shot down twice each, once on their own, then coming back all at once for the finale. Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation has Strigon Squadron. Notably, these guys don't have the kind of Plot Armor or sheer numbers the above two get at any point - you can shoot them down every time they show up, they'll just keep coming back. Ace Combat: Joint Assault has Varcolac Squadron. They don't show up as often as the others, but they still come back every time you shoot them down.

Recurring Boss / int_49ad83ee	comment	World of Warcraft: The game has the Lich King himself as this during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Players face him multiple times as they level through Northrend, culminating in the single-player quest "Tirion's Gambit", then the 5-player dungeon Halls of Reflection, and finally the actual raid encounter in Icecrown Citadel. The Blood Prince Council consists of three vampiric Darkfallen players killed in quests or dungeons earlier in the game, reanimated and empowered by the Orb. Two of them have abilities reminiscent of their strategy from the first time (Fireballs and Shadowbolts for Taldaram and Keleseth respectively), but Valanar has bizarrely developed kinetic energy manipulation. Grand Ma'da Ateena in Nazmir serves as this for the Horde. She flees from combat four times before finally dying during the fifth encounter at the end of the zone's storyline.

Recurring Boss / int_57ad0c07	comment	Resident Evil: Each game has one, usually a Tyrant BOW. In Resident Evil, The Tyrant pulls a Back from the Dead version, appearing as both the penultimate boss and final boss - unless you burn his body after the first time. In Resident Evil 2, William Birkin (aka "G") transforms from a simple overdeveloped humanoid in his first encounter to a hulking, deformed monster in his fifth and last form. Mr X is also encountered several times, but you're only forced to fight him once, though you can drop him in other encounters for ammo. The titular Nemesis in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is one of the most persistent ones. You usually have the option of fighting or running from him, and unlike other recurring bosses of the series, if you run away he's more than capable of chasing, and he's not limited to a single room, in fact he can chase Jill for quite a distance before she loses him. If you opt to defeat him when it's not strictly necessary, you can acquire a lot of good items (including two rapid-firing custom pistol and shotgun). You only have to actually fight him three times: in the middle of the game, near the end of the game as the penultimate boss, and as the Final Boss. Resident Evil â€“ Code: Veronica has another Tyrant pulling a Back from the Dead (fought twice) and Alexia (also fought twice). Resident Evil 4 has two odd examples, and a conventional one: Saddler is fought twice, but in different scenarios (he's the final boss for both Leon and Ada). Krauser is also fought twice: once in a QTE sequence and then several times in succession in chapter 5-3. He then proves to be Not Quite Dead in Separate Ways, where he's fought once again. Leon fights multiple Gigantes over the course of his mission, though each with an added twist: A conventional fight in 2-1 (the battle can be made easier if the dog from 1-1 was saved), a Skippable Boss in 2-2 (even if it's not skipped, there's a strategy that allows Leon to defeat him instantly), and a Dual Boss in 4-2 (one of those two can be defeated quickly with a trap, though it conveys a risk). Resident Evil 5 has Wesker, who is fought four separate times, each in a different fashion (Dual Boss, Puzzle Boss, Press X to Not Die and Final Boss). Resident Evil 6 features the Spiritual Successor to the Nemesis with Ustanak. You fight him in a warehouse, from the back of a helicopter, with a drilling machine in a mine, in the streets of China, in a lava pit, again with nothing more than your fists in the lava pit, and he still comes back for one final desparate attempt to kill you before being put down for good. Resident Evil: Revelations has Rachael Foley, who shows up a total of four times, although you only need to put her down the first time to get a Plot Coupon in the form of a key. As a possible homage to Nemesis, defeating her in subsequent encounters can yield powerful weapon upgrades. In Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Jack Baker serves as an Implacable Man who pursues Ethan during the early sections of the game. You fight him twice, the second being an epic chainsaw battle that seemingly kills him. Nope! Jack returns later in the game for a final battle as a monstrous mold creature which Ethan finally puts down. His wife, Marguerite, is also fought twice.

Recurring Boss / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear: Liquid Snake in the original Metal Gear Solid and Sons of Liberty serves as a mix of the second and third varieties. He is defeated in a Hind D, Metal Gear REX, a fistfight, and a Jeep chase before finally succumbing to FOXDIE. In Sons of Liberty, he is reincarnated as Revolver Ocelot's new arm. In addition to Liquid, the player must fight against Sniper Wolf and Vulcan Raven twice in the original MGS. A more subtle example is Revolver Ocelot - he flees after the fight and later returns to torture Snake. Ocelot is fought in 1, 3, and 4. Oddly enough, despite his importance in 2, you never get the chance to fight him. Metal Gear Solid 2 also has Vamp, who comes back from a cutscene death, his Harrier being shot down, an actual boss fight, and a sniper duel in that order. And in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, his boss battle requires you to use a special syringe to finish him, or else he'll keep coming back to life. Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker has the eponymous Peace Walker mech, which is fought a total of three times in the game, although the third encounter is a Zero-Effort Boss.

Recurring Boss / int_5bfa9c98	comment	Warframe has a few: The most obvious example is Captain Vor, a Grineer commander with an interest in Orokin technology and the one who woke you up in the first place. He shows up as the game's first boss on Mercury, then later forms a tag-team with Lieutenant Lech Kril on Phobos. After getting killed, his Janus Key brought him back to life as Corrupted Vor, who will eventually appear in any Tower IV mission in the Void. Lech Kril also shows up as his own fight on Ceres. Councillor Vay Hek is a high-ranking Grineer politician who's been involved with most of the Grineer-based events. He serves as the boss of Earth, but he's also the main antagonist of the first raid, the Law of Retribution (and its Nightmare Mode version). There's also Alad V, the former head of Grineer Relations for the Corpus. He serves as the boss of Jupiter along with Zanuka, a dog-like robot that he crafted from the Warframes he captured. Thanks to his experimentation with the Infested during the Breeding Grounds and Mutalist Incursions events, he began to succumb to the virus himself. As Mutalist Alad V, he can be fought on Eris with a special key.

Recurring Boss / int_67ce5a04	comment	In Fates, almost all of the playable characters you turn against are this. The absolute king of this trope, however, is Takumi in Conquest — you have to put the son of a bitch down on five separate occasions, to the point where during the final fight with him and the final battle in Conquest overall, even his own sane spirit just wants him to give up and die already. Xander is also technically fought five times in Birthright, but is nowhere near as prominent of a threat as Takumi is for various reasons.note Xander is a Cutscene Boss in the Prologue and a Warmup Boss in Chapter 1. In Chapter 6, you temporarily get Ryoma to deal with him, in Chapter 12 he's a Skippable Boss on an escape map, and in Chapter 26 he has crossed the Despair Event Horizon and has extremely poor stats for a boss that late in the game. While Takumi is theoretically skippable in Chapters 6 and 10, doing so in the former is impractical since you can only leave one survivor and he's one of the first enemies to reach you, while in the latter taking him out stops him from sabotaging your defensive line with a Dragon Vein. Co-Dragons Iago and Hans are also fought twice each in Birthright, and Arete is fought three times in Revelation.

Other bosses who are fought twice are RugaX, Mothra and Cerl. Breath of Fire II has Barubary/Barbaroi and the Goldfly, fought two and three times respectively. Final Boss Deathevans fights you twice, his first fight being just a Zero-Effort Boss. Breath of Fire III has the "Horse Brothers" Balio and Sunder, a Dual Boss: the first battle against them is unwinnable, the second can be won (but can also be lost without getting a Game Over), and it's in the third battle where you finally get rid of them for good. Garr as well, being fought twice (the first of which is also unwinnable). Bosch in Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter. Including his dragonized form, he is fought at least three times.

Recurring Boss / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: All bosses except the final one return at several later points, although only two do so as more than minibosses. Level 4: Manhandla, boss of the third dungeon, returns as a miniboss. Level 5: Three Dodongos show up for a miniboss battle, where a single one served as the final boss of the second dungeon. Level 6: The two-headed dragon boss of the fourth dungeon, Gleeok, shows up as a miniboss sporting a third head. Level 7: The fifth dungeon's boss, Digdogger, returns for a miniboss battle, followed later on by another trio of Dodongos. Later still, another Digdogger appears, and this one splits into three during the battle. Finally, the boss of this level is Aquamentus, the boss of the first dungeon. Level 8: A total of three Manhandlas appear in this dungeon, as do two Gohmas which, due to the Law of Chromatic Superiority, require three times as many hits to defeat as the one that served as the final boss of the sixth dungeon. The final boss is a four-headed Gleeok, which first appeared in two-headed form as the boss of Level 4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: Armos Knight is the Dungeon Boss of the Eastern Palace, and he returns as the first Mini-Boss of Ganon's Tower. In that battle, the arena is a Frictionless Ice floor. The trio of Lanmolas are the bosses of the Desert Palace and the second boss for Ganon's Tower. They are accompanied by a stone statue that shoots lasers at Link. Moldorm is the boss of the Tower of Hera, and the third and last miniboss of Ganon's Tower. The layout of the arena is different, and falling would potentially land Link in some spikes. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: A Stalfos Mini-Boss in the Catfish's Maw dungeon is the first variety. After you've defeated him once, he seems to become terrified of you and flees. At one point he steals the dungeon treasure from its chest and leaves a note in its place. You have to search out three more rooms like the one he was originally fought in and take him on three more times; the first two end the same way, with him fleeing in terror, before the final fight has him finally decide to fight to the end. Once you beat him the fourth time he drops the dungeon treasure. Several other minibosses, including Hinox, Rover, the Dodongo Snakes and Hydrosoar, are encountered as multiple separate instances in several dungeons in the game. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle Games: Vire appears as the Mini-Boss of the sixth dungeon in both games. He flees the first time, but when you import your completed game from one to the other, he dies the second time. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: King Bulblin, an overworld Mini-Boss. You have four encounters with the hulking brute throughout the game. The first two are horseback battles, while the last two are on foot. After he is beaten the final time, he decides that he admires anyone tough enough to defeat him so consistently, and he simply hands you a key and walks off. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has you fighting both Ghirahim and The Imprisoned three times each. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds: Yuga is fought three times. Once in the Eastern Palace, then a second time in Hyrule Castle, and then a third time at the end of the game. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Justified with the overworld bosses (Hinox, Stalnox, Talus and Molduga), as there happen to be multiple specimens of them across the massive overworld of Hyrule, thus being frequent species of monsters instead of unique entities; an NPC even keeps track of how many of them you've defeated (counting jointly the Hinoxes and Stalnoxes in their case). This also applies to the Guardian Scout minibosses that guard the Shrines based on Tests of Strength, coming in up to three variations depending on the test's difficulty. Lastly, with The Champions' Ballad DLC, the Divine Beast bosses are fought a second time each. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: Master Kohga battles Link four times. Each fight has him utilizing a machine that concurs with a Land, Sea, Sky motif. He first drives a vehicle equipped with spikes, then rides a flying plane to attack Link from above, the third battle involves a wooden boat on a river. The last battle eschews from the formula, it's a construct battle.

Revan is the final boss of the Temple of Sacrifice operation; he summons HK-47 during the fight, and flees at the end. The Player Character and their allies track him down and finish him off. Kephess is the end boss of the Explosive Conflict operation, then is resurrected as a cyborg by the Dread Masters and appears in the Terror From Beyond operation. Clones of Kephess are summoned during the Darth Brontes fight at the end of the Dread Fortress operation. Dread Master Styrak is the final boss of the Scum and Villany operation, and Dread Master Brontes is the final boss of the Dread Fortress operation. The Dread Palace operation opens with individual fights against each of the four surviving Dread Masters (Bestia, Tyrans, Calphayus, and Raptus), then all four are fought at once, along with the spirits of Styrak and Brontes, for the final fight. Tenebrae, Sith Emperor Vitiate, and Eternal Emperor Valkorion â€“ all the same guy in multiple guises â€“ appears as the final boss of the Jedi Knight story (Vitiate), a boss fight in Chapter XII of Knights of the Fallen Empire (Valkorion), the final boss of Knights of the Eternal Throne (Valkorion again), and the final boss of Echoes of Oblivion (all three forms).

Recurring Boss / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Bros. has you fighting Bowser no less than eight times, with the eighth and final Bowser being the genuine one (all the other Bowsers being mooks of his transformed through his magic). Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels: Bowser retains his role as the sole boss character Mario and Luigi face, this time in an increased total of twelve encounters (two real, ten fake). Super Mario Bros. 2: Birdo is fought in almost every level, though with some variations along the way: The pink specimen shoots eggs, the green and gray ones shoot fire, and the red one shoots both kinds of projectiles. Also, two of the major bosses (Mouser and Tryclide) are fought twice each.note In Doki Doki Panic, Mouser is fought three times, but the third fight is replaced by Clawgrip in the Mario revision; in the Advance remake, the second Tryclide is replaced by the second Mouser fight, which in turn was moved from its original setting in favor of an all-new boss, Robirdo. Mouser has to be hit five times with his own bombs in the second fight (as opposed to only three in the first), while Tryclyde remains unchanged. Super Mario Bros. 3: Boom Boom guards every fortress except the one within the spiral mountain that connects the ground with the sky in World 5, and also guards the military levels in World 8. In the early fights, he jumps higher after being hit, while in the later ones he flies for a limited time before trying to charge at Mario and Luigi. Super Mario World: Reznor serves as the miniboss fought at the end of each Fortress level. They are always fought in the same fashion (spitting fire at Mario and Luigi while riding a wooden carousel), but that's not an issue since there are only four Fortresses to begin with. Super Mario 64: You fight Bowser three times, and the strategy is the same in all cases with some variations. In the first two fights, it's only necessary to throw him onto one of the explosive mines, and the reward is a key that opens a door leading to a new part of the Castle; in the third fight, Bowser can only be defeated after three explosions, and Mario's victory leads to Peach's liberation and the game's conclusion. Super Mario Sunshine: Bowser Jr., under the Shadow Mario persona, is fought a total of 11 times (not counting his indirect participation in the Mecha-Bowser and Bowser battles). Once per main level, and four times in the Hub Level (in the latter fights, he's always carrying someone or something with him: Peach, Yoshi, Turbo Nozzle and Rocket Nozzle). Other bosses with more than one battle include the Polluted Piranha Plant (five times; it's defeated after three hits in the first three fights, while it takes six in the last two), Petey Piranha (twice) and Gooper Blooper (three times). New Super Mario Bros.: Bowser Jr. is fought in all Tower levels in the original New Super Mario Bros. (as well as alongside Bowser in the final battle), and in all Airship levels in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U; his tactics do change in the majority of cases, keeping things fresh. The Koopalings are fought twice each in Wii (the first time as minibosses in the Towers, and the second as actual bosses in the Castles), Reznor recurs in all Tower levels in New Super Mario Bros. 2, and Boom Boom does in the majority of Tower levels in U. Bowser himself is only fought more than once in the original New game (and one instance as Dry Bowser). Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2: Multiple bosses are fought more than once each, whether by way of a Prankster Comet challenge that remixes an existing mission, or by simply reappearing in a later level. Topmaniac in the first game stands out for appearing in up to four fights by using both methods (it first appears in Battlerock Galaxy and again in Dreadnought Galaxy, the first instances is then repeated by a Daredevil Comet and the second by a Speedy Comet). In both games, Bowser is fought three times, mirroring the case of Super Mario 64. Super Mario 3D Land: Boom Boom, Pom Pom and Bowser are the only bosses in the game, so it's expected for Mario and eventually Luigi to face them numerous times across the sixteen worlds. Also, in order to achieve 100% Completion and unlock the final Brutal Bonus Level, both plumbers have to complete all levels (including the ones with bosses) separately. Super Mario 3D World: Boom Boom and Pom Pom reprise their role as recurring bosses, but the bigger catalogue of bosses reduces their frequency considerably (prior to the Boss Rush level in the 11th world, Boom Boom is only found in the respective Tank levels of Worlds 2 and 6, while Pom Pom is in the respective Train levels of Worlds 3 and 8). Bowser himself is fought in World 1 and 7, and once again in 8 under his debuting Meowser persona. In the mode Bowser's Fury added to the Switch version, this trope is invoked by Fury Bowser, since he's intended to appear periodically as Mario explore the islands of Lake Lapcat. The other bosses to have additional fights prior to the Boss Rush level are Boss Brolder, Prince Bully and Motley Bossblob (the two Hisstocrats are fought once each separarely, so they don't count). Super Mario Odyssey: The Broodals are fought twice each during the run of the story: Topper in the Cap and Bowser Kingdoms, Hariet in the Sand and Bowser Kingdoms, Rango in the Lake and Snow Kingdoms, Spewart in the Wooded and Luncheon Kingdoms, and Madame Broode in the Cascade and Moon Kingdoms. Bowser, meanwhile, is fought twice: Once in Cloud Kingdom and again for the final battle in the Moon Kingdom. Afterwards, the next time they and all other bosses except Bowser are fought will be in the post-game worlds. Super Mario Bros. Wonder: Bowser Jr. serves as the boss of all the Palace levels, while the Bowser-shaped generator engine serve as the boss of the Battleship levels. Yoshi's New Island: Kamek appears as the boss of every mid-world fortress, sharply contrasting the first two Yoshi's Island games where he is The Unfought and all mid-world fortresses have each its own mini-boss. Yoshi's Woolly World features two recurring bosses: Big Montgomery the Monty Mole, and Knot-Wing the Koopa Paratroopa. Big Montgomery is fought every odd numbered fortress, Knot-Wing the even. In Wario: Master of Disguise, Count Cannoli is fought a total of three times: Episodes 1, 2 and the start of 9. Carpaccio plays with the trope: He's challenged in a proper fight in Episode 4, then in a Racing Minigame at the end of Episode 9.

Suzaku, a large gunship with twin cannons that hover alongside it, always appears in Stage 1 of all the DonPachi games since DoDonPachi. Suzaku is introduced as the Stage 1 boss of DoDonPachi. Then it returns as the Stage 1 boss of DaiOuJou which a much grittier and colorless design that fits the game's much darker nature (compared to DDP). Then it comes back again as the Stage 1 mid-boss of DaiFukkatsu with its original design. And then it makes its latest appearance as Stage 1 boss of SaiDaiOuJou, with a much more futuristic, streamlined design and a red paint job (which fits with the meaning of Suzaku's name, "Vermilion Bird.").

Jr. Troopa appears a grand total of six times. He's actually a fairly ingenious foe, adjusting his weaknesses with each encounter, but Mario and his companions don't take him seriously at all, and he's often the butt of jokes. In the final dungeon, he actually prevents the Koopa Bros. from recurring in order to get in another shot at you. Downplayed with the "Invincible" Tubba Blubba. He can be fought multiple times, but only one of them is actually necessary, and any other attempts at fighting him are Hopeless Boss Fights where you can do nothing but run. The required fight doesn't occur until you find and defeat the real chapter boss, his heart, after which Tubba himself is a Zero-Effort Boss.

There's also Sigmund as well, who is also fought three times throughout three different quests. Regarding Nezikchened, after that quest, you can do While Guthix Sleeps, part of the larger story arc in the game. At one point, you are tracking down a wizard, and in his miscellaneous diary, he remarks that although the totem poles in the Kharazi Jungle have returned to normal (basically, what you did during the quest with Nezikchened), an ancient demon is still present, hinting that he might be coming back.

Ultros is fought four times in the same game - once in Lete River, once in the Opera House, once in the Cave on Crescent Island, and once in the air. An optional boss, Humbaba, has to be fought four times: the first is a Hopeless Boss Fight as Terra solo, the second immediately afterwards with your normal party, the third is also with normal party (which ends with it ejecting two party members out of the battle) and the last immediately after with the remaining two party members plus Terra in permanent Trance. VI also has Deathgaze, which will flee whenever it receives damage, forcing the party to hunt it down in the airship again and repeat fighting it until it's finally defeated for good. Though optional, it's required to beat if the player wants to get the Bahamut summon.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: Lord Crump is the first battle in the game, and he is fought thrice later, twice in a Humongous Mecha. The second Humongous Mecha is an upgraded model of the first one, making that a Recurring Boss as well. After the initial battle with Doopliss at the Creepy Steeple, you end up in a fight with him twice just outside Twilight Town, but these are Hopeless Boss Fights in which neither side can inflict any damage on each other, and the only thing you can do is run away both times. Later, you confront him using his real name, after which you fight him once again, exactly where you fought him the first time, followed by one last fight with him in the final chapter. Bowser is fought twice: once during the middle of Chapter Three, and again right before the final boss fight which winds up unintentionally giving enough time for the Shadow Queen to possess Peach. In Super Paper Mario, all of Count Bleck's minions are fought at least twice except for Nastasia, who is The Unfought. O'Chunks is fought the most with four fights.

It instantly kills anything besides you and it in the entire level, and runs much faster than you, but it can't turn around as fast as you can, so you can slow it down by repeatedly jumping over it. Incidentally, even if you trick it into falling down a hole, it'll be back again next level, no worse for wear.

Recurring Boss / int_9db1766a	comment	Devil May Cry: Every boss in the original Devil May Cry is of the first variety, fought exactly three times. Most bosses are the first type, except for the final boss, who is the third type (and his fights are one after the other). The Evil Counterpart Nelo Angelo's fights are spaced out evenly along the plot, while the other three bosses each have their three fights in relatively short (though not immediate) succession. In addition, Nightmare has an attack which forces you to fight weaker versions of killed bosses, allowing them to recur more than three times. Devil May Cry 3 also has Vergil and, the Special Edition, Jester, who you fight three times each. Devil May Cry 2 has Phantom reappear at about the same point in both Dante and Lucia's missions as well. A puzzle in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening requires the player to defeat bosses from earlier in the game to advance. The puzzle element is choosing which bosses to fight, and navigating the area's Alien Geometries. No explanation is offered as to how these bosses came to be alive again. Presumably a demon did it. In Devil May Cry 4, every boss except two (Credo and The Savior) is fought multiple times in the same playthrough, though little if anything is changed about the subsequent battles except your playable character. Agnus sets the record for having four battles, two of them being re-fights with the same character. In Devil May Cry 5, you have to fight Big Bad Urizen five times: in the Prologue and Missions 8, 10, 12, and 17. Then he merges with V to become Vergil once again, and Vergil goes at you twice more. Counting all of his separate forms (Nelo Angelo, Vergil, and Urizen), Vergil is the most recurrent boss in the series, with 13 fights.

Hop from PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield battles you the most frequently, on a whopping ten separate occasions - and that doesn't even include post-game content! The leader of The Syndicate tends to be battled repeatedly as well, with a few exceptions: In PokÃ©mon Gold and Silver, The Remnant of Team Rocket doesn't have a leader, only the four Executives, none of whom are fought more than twice. N in PokÃ©mon Black and White is unique in that his party is assembled primarily from Mons that can be found in the nearby areas, and is completely different every time. Averted by Ghetsis, who is only fought once. Averted in PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield and PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet, where the villainous teams' leaders are only fought once. Larry from PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet is both a Gym Leader and a member of the Elite Four, and therefore has to be battled twice in order to clear the Victory Road story path.

That said, the two times you can fight him before the final encounter are optional Hopeless Boss Fights, one you should skip and one you should engage if you want the best Swashbuckler Rating. The Big Bad, Galcian, technically only has one true boss fight, but you can battle him the first time you visit Valua. However, you shouldn't, you will not win, and unlike the Ramirez battles, losing to Galcian is a Game Over.

Recurring Boss / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy is quite fond of these: Gilgamesh from Final Fantasy V, whom you fight a grand total of FIVE times, though usually as a gag battle. Each appearance involves humorous dialogue, followed by Gilgamesh making some sort of excuse for leaving and at one point leaving his sidekick to "deal with" your party. During the fourth battle, he whips out the piddly Excalipur, which he'd mistaken for Excalibur, causing Exdeath to send him to the Void. Later, in the void, he recognizes your characters during the fifth encounter and even sacrifices himself to save your party from a later boss. In Final Fantasy, you must fight the four fiends again in the final dungeon. In Final Fantasy II, there is a second fight against Count Borghen. When he said See You in Hell, he meant it. And you fight him again in the Soul of Rebirth mode, this time in Heaven. In Final Fantasy VI: Kefka starts as a joke battle in Sabin's scenario, then a boss battle in Narshe, another short scripted battle at the Cave of the Sealed Gate, yet another (easy) boss fight where you get to play as General Leo, and finally the final boss as a god. Ultros is fought four times in the same game - once in Lete River, once in the Opera House, once in the Cave on Crescent Island, and once in the air. An optional boss, Humbaba, has to be fought four times: the first is a Hopeless Boss Fight as Terra solo, the second immediately afterwards with your normal party, the third is also with normal party (which ends with it ejecting two party members out of the battle) and the last immediately after with the remaining two party members plus Terra in permanent Trance. VI also has Deathgaze, which will flee whenever it receives damage, forcing the party to hunt it down in the airship again and repeat fighting it until it's finally defeated for good. Though optional, it's required to beat if the player wants to get the Bahamut summon. In Final Fantasy VII: There's the Turks, who you are forced to fight twice, plus three optional boss fights with them. Jenova is fought four times throughout the game: once aboard the Cargo Ship (Jenova-BIRTH), once at the City of the Ancients (Jenova-LIFE), once at the Whirlwind Maze (Jenova-DEATH), and once just prior to the final boss (Jenova-SYNTHESIS). The Ultima Weapon is also fought several times, though it is a Superboss. In Final Fantasy VIII, there's Biggs and Wedge (who are fought twice), Fujin and Rajin(also twice), Edea(twice) and Seifer(four times) Beatrix in Final Fantasy IX is of the second variety (fought thrice). Black Waltz no. 3 is also fought twice. Zorn and Thorn are fought twice (though the second time they are merged into Meltigemini). Finally Kuja is fought twice. Seymour from Final Fantasy X is of the third variety. FFX also features the second variety in an optional boss fight (for the second optional summon), although the fight mechanics are completely different. In Final Fantasy XII, Judge Gabranth and Doctor Cid are both fought twice. Ba'gamnan and his cronies are also fought twice, though the second fight is an optional hunt. In Final Fantasy XIII, the Proudclad (piloted by Rosch) is fought twice and Barthandelus is fought three times. The new reigning king of this trope in Final Fantasy is Final Fantasy XIII-2's Big Bad, Caius. If one counts Paradox Endings and his transformations as well as the battles with him as his normal self, he is fought no less than eleven times. Add the times he's fought in the Requiem of the Goddess DLC, it's thirteen times.

You fight him again in Chapter 3, where things at first seem to be the same, but he turns out to be able to use the weapons found in the arena as well, and the arena is littered with traps. In Chapter 5, you only have the buster, while he has a veritable arsenal on call in addition to a chargeable buster — Flame Sword, Centaur Flash, Yamato Spear, and Pharaoh Shot, plus Wire Adaptor to chase you down. He shows up once again in Chapter 6, only to be unceremoniously killed off by Dr. Wily when he arrives piloting Gamma.

Later still, another Digdogger appears, and this one splits into three during the battle. Finally, the boss of this level is Aquamentus, the boss of the first dungeon. Level 8: A total of three Manhandlas appear in this dungeon, as do two Gohmas which, due to the Law of Chromatic Superiority, require three times as many hits to defeat as the one that served as the final boss of the sixth dungeon.

Recurring Boss / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: In most 2-D games, Doctor Robotnik/Eggman is an extreme example of this. Not only is he a boss in every game, but the boss of almost every level therein; other bosses are the exception rather than the rule. He runs away after his vehicle is destroyed, and has a new one ready by the next encounter. Certain boss vehicles also return quite regularly. The Emerald Hill Zone boss turns up in the final boss of Sonic Advance, and the Metropolis Zone boss turns up in Sonic & Knuckles, and gets a variant in Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Similarly Sonic 4 also brings back the Casino Night Zone boss, and the Labyrinth Zone boss and Green Hill Zone boss who also turns up in Sky Sanctuary Zone and X Zone. Similarly, Generations also brings back Perfect Chaos (whose fight is almost identical), the Egg Dragoon and the Death Egg Robot who also reappears at the end of Sonic & Knuckles as part of the True Final Boss, and at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 4 as the Final Boss, except in Sonic Generations it's merely the first boss. Sonic Adventure has Chaos, who is fought multiple times across multiple characters' campaigns. Each time they are fought, their appearance changes as a result of the Chaos Emeralds they absorb. Sonic Adventure 2 has two recurrent boss battles between characters of each opposing side: Sonic VS. Shadow, and Tails VS. Eggman. Sonic Lost World has the Deadly Six, who are the only bosses in the game (excluding Eggman as the final boss), and each member is fought three times throughout.

They are both faced three times: at the climax of act 1, you fight them together. They then attack you individually during Act 2 in order to foil the hero's plans. The final confrontation comes before the final dungeon, where they are joined by Militsa and Waldu for an epic 4 against 4 boss fight. If you haven't had enough of them, the bonus dungeon lets you fight the Four Stars all over again...only this time there's 8 of them in the fight!

Recurring Boss / int_c1b43f85	comment	Super Mario 3D World: Boom Boom and Pom Pom reprise their role as recurring bosses, but the bigger catalogue of bosses reduces their frequency considerably (prior to the Boss Rush level in the 11th world, Boom Boom is only found in the respective Tank levels of Worlds 2 and 6, while Pom Pom is in the respective Train levels of Worlds 3 and 8). Bowser himself is fought in World 1 and 7, and once again in 8 under his debuting Meowser persona. In the mode Bowser's Fury added to the Switch version, this trope is invoked by Fury Bowser, since he's intended to appear periodically as Mario explore the islands of Lake Lapcat. The other bosses to have additional fights prior to the Boss Rush level are Boss Brolder, Prince Bully and Motley Bossblob (the two Hisstocrats are fought once each separarely, so they don't count).

Recurring Boss / int_c72021c5	comment	Anna and Gunther in Deus Ex. Anna's a Recurring Boss if you run away from her first boss fight, battling her for real later on. However, the fight's not really hopeless: You can stand your ground and kill Anna, and you never have to fight her again. There's also an earlier scene in which her usual NPC invulnerability is rescinded, though that's really only a boss fight if you opt to kill her while her guard is down. Note that Anna is a Skippable Boss all three times: You can simply not attack her the first time, you might get captured before the second (though there's no reason to do so intentionally), and you can learn a passcode that kills her instantly before the third. Like Anna, Gunther can be a Recurring Boss. Like Anna's, Gunther's fights are skippable. Unlike Anna, Gunther really is a Hopeless Boss Fight in the first encounter: You either surrender in dialogue or get captured when he kicks the stuffing out of you. You can still use the "kill phrase" trick in the second if you make the right choices in game, though.

No encounter with them is a Hopeless Boss Fight, and you can in fact get an Achievement for killing one in your first encounter with it, but otherwise they'll scrap with your troops for a few rounds, then summon a portal and leave the battlefield. The good news is, any damage you do them will carry over to your next encounter. The Chosen in the War of the Chosen expansion are also persistent threats, since they possess Resurrective Immortality that lets them come back even if you kill them - and thanks to their Adaptive Ability, you may find in your next encounter that they Came Back Strong. It takes a chain of Covert Actions to locate each Chosen's headquarters, find a way in, and launch a mission to put them down for good, but It Only Works Once, and if you fail that assault, you'll be dealing with that particular Chosen for the rest of the campaign.

Recurring Boss / int_da02c1ef	comment	Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: Lord Crump is the first battle in the game, and he is fought thrice later, twice in a Humongous Mecha. The second Humongous Mecha is an upgraded model of the first one, making that a Recurring Boss as well. After the initial battle with Doopliss at the Creepy Steeple, you end up in a fight with him twice just outside Twilight Town, but these are Hopeless Boss Fights in which neither side can inflict any damage on each other, and the only thing you can do is run away both times. Later, you confront him using his real name, after which you fight him once again, exactly where you fought him the first time, followed by one last fight with him in the final chapter. Bowser is fought twice: once during the middle of Chapter Three, and again right before the final boss fight which winds up unintentionally giving enough time for the Shadow Queen to possess Peach.

Recurring Boss / int_e04f934e	comment	Many examples in Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Hubert takes the cake here, as on Azure Moon you can fight him a whopping seven times. Yes, you saw that right. Oh, and whenever you fight him after the timeskip, prepare for Villain: Exit, Stage Left when beating him on any encounter except his last. The Death Knight appears as a miniboss in no fewer than six chapters. The first four times he appears, he's an obstacle that exists to advertise the power of the Flame Emperor, until midway through the game, when he could be realistically defeated without exploiting a Disc-One Nuke. Post-timeskip, he's fought once more on Azure Moon and twice more on Silver Snow and Verdant Wind, and you can even go another round with him if you recruit both Caspar and Mercedes and play their shared paralogue. Kostas, the bandit leader hired to attack the lords in the prologue, returns two chapters later with a chip on his shoulder, desperate to exact his revenge. On the Crimson Flower route, Rhea is fought three times, including as the Final Boss. On all routes other than Crimson Flower, Randolph and Ladislava are first fought as minor midbosses before coming back for a rematch a couple of chapters later. Every playable character other than Byleth, Marianne, Alois, Shamir, Anna, and the Ashen Wolves is fought in at least one battle in Part I, and then fought in a legitimate fight to the death in Part II if you didn't poach them on at least one route. Edelgard and Hubert deserve special mention, as one of them is tied with the Death Knight for most appearances as an enemy in one game depending on whether or not you count paralogues. Acheron (all routes) and PallardÃ³ (Azure Moon and Verdant Wind) can be fought in Part I paralogues if Lorenz and Anna, respectively, are in your party, and are fought again in Part II.

If you do manage to kill the Warlord the first time, nothing changes - he still appears later on. It was also planned to include him in one of the first levels as a teaser, where he flies away before the player could attack him.

In 2, you would have to fight him before you fight Gospel, and later, you fight his real version in the secret area, which you cannot "jack out of" until you get back to the point where you entered it. In 3, you fight him before Alpha, as well as in yet another secret area where you actually help fund his recovery in a bug frag trade machine. In 4 he appears in Undernet 5 after beating the game about 3 times and disturbing his "statue". In 5, he is in yet another secret area called the Nebula Area after completing a Liberation Mission in area 6 and getting a time between 25-40 seconds busting the Navis in that area. In 6, he appears in the Undernet (where he is in a stone monument) and then a harder form in the Graveyard area, then a supercharged version in the Underground area, in which he sports a Gregar or Falzar attack depending on your version. Also, in every single game, you also end up having to fight some, if not all of the storyline bosses again later in the game.

It is encountered again at the end of the Greed layer, where after reducing its health to half it tries to flee once more through a hole in the wall. V1 does not feel like letting V2 escape a second time, though, and pursues its red counterpart down the wall of the pyramid they were fighting in. The fight culminates in V2 falling to its gory death, with only the Whiplash arm left behind for V1 to collect. V1 first meets Gabriel at the end of the Gluttony layer, where he serves as the final boss of Act I. Though he gives a good fight, Gabriel is ultimately forced to retreat after V1 puts up more resistance than he expected. He does not take to losing very well, and swears to crush V1 in their rematch. Said rematch takes place at the end of the Heresy layer, where Gabriel once more serves as the final boss of Act II. While he spends half of the fight enraged at V1 for humiliating him, he somehow grows to enjoy the fight during the second half, something that confuses him greatly. After V1 defeats him again, rather than get mad he accepts his defeat and takes his leave to reflect on his actions. If his murdering the Council, knowledge of his impending death and subsequent return to Hell in the ensuing cutscene are any indication, he's poised to return for Act III.

Recurring Boss / int_ef8bd4a5	comment	Mega Man: Nearly every game throughout the entire franchise, especially the Mega Man (Classic) and Mega Man X series, has players fight the Robot Masters/Mavericks a second time through during the final stages of the game, albeit with access to all of the weapons and other upgrades they collected over the course of the game. Much like before the final stages, players can rematch the bosses in any order they choose. Break Man (who is actually Proto Man) in Mega Man 3. In his first appearance, Ballade had to be fought twice before the game ends. Interestingly, his second phase has been completely dropped in future games, with his battles using the second attack pattern, but his original appearance. Bass in the Classic series. He's your Warm-Up Boss in 7, before you later fight him one-on-one in Dr. Wily's first castle stage, then he merges with Treble in the second stage. Then you fight him again in Wily's castle in Mega Man 8. High Max of Mega Man X6 is invincible in the intro stage and requires two particular attacks in order to defeat him when you meet him again. (Unfortunately, you're also able to encounter him later without having acquired the requisite attacks, leading to a Hopeless Boss Fight that merely ends in a Game Over.) In X5 there's Dynamo, a bounty hunter who is hired to stall the heroes as they try to prevent the Eurasia Colony from falling onto Earth. He teleports out when his health bar runs out, only to reappear a while later until he flees for good. He's also in X6, but only as an optional boss. And of course, there's the infamous Vile, starting off as unbeatable in his first introduction in X1, only to be defeated in the Big Bad's final fortress. He shows up after being resurrected in both X3 and X8, fueled by his hatred of the Hunters and X in particular. His appearance in X8 deserves special mention, as he can be fought up to six times throughout the game. The first four are him randomly replacing the Multi-Mook Melee rooms found in most of the regular stages — after that, he appears as the boss of the Jakob Elevator stage, and then finally as the miniboss of the final level. Bit & Byte come back in X3 if you don't kill them with a specific weapon. The X-Hunters in X2 are fought a second time in the final fortress, two of three in their One-Winged Angel forms. Colonel in X4 is fought twice in X's story path, his first battle being replaced by a cutscene in Zero's. Prometheus and Pandora in Mega Man ZX are each fought individually before showing up together for a Dual Boss fight as the penultimate battle. They then return in Advent to fight another Dual Boss battle as the penultimate fight. Shadow Man is a miniboss version of this trope in Rockman 4 Minus âˆž. He first shows up in 3 of the Robot Master Stages. He makes his last supposed appearance in Cossack Castle Stage, riding a kite.

Recurring Boss / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: Metroid set the tradition in itself and subsequent games to have Ridley appear as a Climax Boss for the series as a whole. He's made in appearance near the end of almost every game in the franchise, and has even shown up twice in two of them. The only games Ridley doesn't show up in some form are Metroid II: Return of Samus (this is, even then, changed in the remake), Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime: Hunters and Metroid Dread. Metroid II: Return of Samus: As part of the game's premise, Samus has to exterminate all Metroids she encounters during her mission in SR388, and all of them (save for the baby Metroids found in the last area, acting like a Multi-Mook Melee instead) are fought in Mini-Boss form. The only unique bosses are Arachnus and Queen Metroid; the remake Metroid: Samus Returns adds two more (Diggernaut and Proteus Ridley). Metroid Fusion has the SA-X. Some encounters are avoidable entirely as long as Samus doesn't expose herself, but the later ones always force you to give yourself away to it and then flee. It can be stunned with Ice Missiles, but only briefly. Also in Fusion, the B.O.X. security robot is the first variety. In the initial encounter it's merely gone rogue, and Samus does enough damage to expose its organic components before it flees. It subsequently reappears much later in the game, having been taken over by the X. Metroid Prime Trilogy: The eponymous monster Metroid Prime shows up as a final boss in all three home console games: as itself in the original game, and as Dark Samus afterwards. In Echoes, in turn, you fight Dark Samus a total of three times. Metroid Prime: Hunters: Slench and Cretaphid are fought four times each, and every rematch increases their power and endurance. The rival Hunters can also challenge Samus more than once if she stands on their way (or viceversa). Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: You must fight Meta Ridley three times: He harasses you while you're using Morph Ball to navigate between towers the first time, then you fight him while plummeting down a shaft, and finally when attacking the third Leviathan seed, where he's powered up by Phazon and labelled Omega Ridley. The Berserker Lord is challenged twice: The first time occurs in GFS Olympus (being also the boss of this tutelary location), and the second in Elysia as a Mini-Boss. Though it's a Skippable Boss in every instance, the Metroid Hatcher can be challenged up to three times over the course of the game: Pirate Homeworld, Norion, GFS Valhalla. Metroid: Other M: Rheodigan, the flying anomalocarid alien, fights Samus four times in the story mode. After the fourth fight, it finally dies and gives up the Seeker Missiles. It's pushed even farther in the Playable Epilogue, where you have an enemy rush before the post-final boss: there are two other Rheodigans, but they die there and then. Nightmare both returns from Metroid Fusion and is fought twice within Other M. The Mystery Creature turns out to set up a recurring boss, because it's a younger form of Ridley, who is fought later.

Recurring Boss / int_f10619d8	comment	Tales of the Abyss: The Oracle Knights will be hounding you most of the way: Van Grants. Even though you defeat him in battle two-thirds into the game, he comes back as the Final Boss. Sync is fought once in a set of ruins with Largo, another time in the core where he apparently gets knocked off the Tartarus, then is the penultimate boss in the final dungeon. Legretta is fought once early in the game, again on the mountains and apparently gets swept off the mountain along with Arietta and Largo in an avalanche, then again in the final dungeon. Largo was once fought with Sync, then again with Legretta and Arietta, and finally later (but not the final dungeon!). Arietta is fought first of the Oracle knights, then again with Legretta and Largo, and finally much later in the game.

After it appears in a bio-lab and it's defeated, the game goes on where you fight off some more enemies, including two other bosses, before the Prototype suddenly returns in the control center for a rematch. You defeat it again, only to face the same boss in the next immediate area, the docking bay, for the third and last time.

Recurring Boss / int_f4a04cd2	comment	The titular Nemesis in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is one of the most persistent ones. You usually have the option of fighting or running from him, and unlike other recurring bosses of the series, if you run away he's more than capable of chasing, and he's not limited to a single room, in fact he can chase Jill for quite a distance before she loses him. If you opt to defeat him when it's not strictly necessary, you can acquire a lot of good items (including two rapid-firing custom pistol and shotgun). You only have to actually fight him three times: in the middle of the game, near the end of the game as the penultimate boss, and as the Final Boss.

A second Balteus is fought in "Destroy the Drive Block", the penultimate mission of the "Liberator of Rubicon" path, where the Balteus was salvaged by Arquebus and rebuilt into a piloted craft for V.II Snail. A second pair of Ekdromoi and a second CATAPHRACT serve as the Wolfpack Bosss of "Obstruct the Mandatory Inspection". A second Smart Cleaner is fought in "Destroy the Drive Block", the penultimate mission of the "Liberator of Rubicon" path. During the final boss fight against ALLMIND on the "Alea Iacta Est" path, two phase two Sea Spiders appear as backup for the boss.

Though calling his fights "Fights" are a bit of a stretch, as instead of fighting him, you instead chase him through various platforming gauntlets until he stops to take a breath, and the Marsupilami you're currently playing as completely obliterates him.

He first drives a vehicle equipped with spikes, then rides a flying plane to attack Link from above, the third battle involves a wooden boat on a river. The last battle eschews from the formula, it's a construct battle.

Recurring Boss / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts: Kingdom Hearts has Darkside, who is fought three times: during the tutorial, after you complete Destiny Islands, and just before the final boss fight against Ansem. In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, Axel and Larxene are both fought two times. Vexen is fought three times (twice in Sora's story and once in Riku's). However, the king of this trope is Riku Replica, who, over the course of Sora's and Riku's story, is fought a total of six times. Kingdom Hearts II: Axel is fought twice by Roxas, first in the Struggle arena and later in the Old Mansion. Hades. When you first meet him, he is impervious to your attacks and you're forced to flee while he hurls fireballs at you. Becomes beatable later, being fought and defeated in the second visit to the Colosseum, then again at the end of two of the Colosseum cups. Pete is fought twice in II, first in the Underworld with the aid of Hercules, and three major fights in Timeless River. (Plus one fight in the optional Hades Paradox Cup.) Demyx has two boss fights, one in Olympus Coliseum (which is really just destroying the Forms he summons) and again in Hollow Bastion. Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep: Vanitas is probably a quarter of the bosses in the game. In Aqua and Ven's paths he's fought 3 times each, including both of their final boss fights. Terra only fights him once, but as a Dual Boss with Xenahort. Braig is fought twice, once each in Terra's and Aqua's campaigns. Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- has Phantom Aqua, who is fought three times in the World Within and gets stronger with each battle. A fourth battle against her finishes off the optional Zodiac Boss Rush in the postgame. Kingdom Hearts III: Vanitas does this again, being the only member of the Seekers of Darkness to be fought before the confrontation at Keyblade Graveyard. In addition to the fight there, he is also encountered in the Land of Departure, where you control Aqua. The Demon Tower is fought two separate times, both while you are playing as Riku. The Demon Tide is first fought in Twilight Town, though it gets cut short early. You get to fight it for real in the Keyblade Graveyard. Hades is a recurring boss throughout the entire series; one of the few villains who continuously pesters Sora (and the Keyblade users for that matter) besides Maleficent and Pete. But if bosses who are fought multiple times in the series count as a Recurring Boss, we'd be here all day just reading the examples.

Recurring Boss / int_f8bd2d94	comment	The Wild ARMs games use this constantly. The fourth game is the only one that avoided this trope, by giving the main antagonists so many members you only need to fight each of them once. Wild ARMs 3 is the worst contender, as practically every significant boss is fought at least three times. Janus, his two flunkies, the prophets, and the Schroedinger family are all fought multiple times through the game. Notable in that the prophets are at first fought one by one, but are also fought together, and in empowered forms, while the Schroedingers only add new attacks and Maya changes up her routine.

Recurring Boss / int_fa5e90fd	comment	In City of Heroes: One plot arc has you fighting the Envoy of Shadows (a powerful demon) multiple times. Even if you defeat him, he's still around after the mission. It's explained in-game that in order to send him packing for good, you have to learn his true name; after you manage that, his final Climax Boss defeat signals the end of the arc. Over the course of the late game story arcs, you fight Nemesis several times. Curiously, most of the time your contacts act like you've actually killed him (despite the game being Never Say "Die" the rest of the time), but they always leave the bit of doubt that it really was Nemesis you killed. And then there's the possibility that it really is Nemesis EVERY time, but his consciousness is spread out over many different bodies. One story arc also requires that you fight Mary MacComber — and beat her, then the rest of her minions — ten times in a row. Might qualify as a Sequential Boss, too.
