Sheathe Your Sword	comment	Any type of confrontation where the hero's only way to win is ... to stop trying to defeat their opponent; eventually the enemy will tire himself out (become bored, etc.) and the hero will achieve a victory for their pacifism. The reasons behind this vary— sometimes the opponent is literally fueled by the hero's aggressive energy (or is a literal figment of the hero's imagination) so putting a stop to their hostility the enemy will literally weaken (and/or cease to exist). Maybe the opponent has an overdeveloped sense of honor and refuses to strike down someone who won't keep their weapon in hand. Or perhaps the confrontation was just a big misunderstanding (Poor Communication Kills, you know), and standing down will buy time for both sides to figure out that they shouldn't even be fighting each other in the first place. (Some Crossover stories are prone to this, with the heroes from each series somehow finding themselves in the others' crosshairs.) Overlaps with Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand, where Luka confronts an aggressive Alice with nonaggression and hopes to win by getting her to stand down too. Whatever the case, until the hero actually figures this out, they will feel presented with an opponent more formidable than any other; they may as well be fighting a mirror. When this is applied to Video Games, it tends to mix elements of a Hopeless Boss Fight (because, more often than not, the opponent is made literally invincible to all attacks), a Waiting Puzzle and/or Hold the Line objective (because if the party dies, it's still Game Over). Hopefully the player will be given some hint that this is the goal (perhaps via advice from a Spirit Advisor) so that they don't have to expend their entire stock of healing magic/items trying to beat an impossible enemy. Also note that depending on whether the game proceeds in real-time or in turns, sometimes simply waiting is not enough, and the player needs to take some kind of non-hostile action (e.g. the Defend Command) to make time pass. (In fact, for some games this is the only time the Defend Command is of any practical use.) Compare Puzzle Boss (where you're not necessarily fighting the boss, but still need to take action to defeat it, perhaps indirectly), Boss-Altering Consequence (where non-violence isn't the only answer, but may be an option to beating the boss), Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay, Victory by Endurance and Why Isn't It Attacking?. Contrast Violence is the Only Option. See also Failure Gambit, where this path is the only way to prevent the gambit's success. Not to be confused with sheathing your weapon for tactical purposes. It may be a Secret Test of Character. Might result from a Powering Villain Realization. Sub-Trope of No-Harm Requirement as well as being its Logical Extreme. With this trope, the matter of having to avoid violence and causing harm isn't just an issue of desire or mandate— the characters have to avoid violence to have any hope of success at all.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_11b7db91	comment	In the Adventure Time episode "Tree Trunks", Finn, Jake, and Tree Trunks find the Crystal Gem Apple but are confronted by a Crystal Guardian, who copies everything they do — and since it's a great deal harder than either Finn or Jake, they only manage to hurt themselves when they try to attack it. Tree Trunks, in the meantime, starts playing with some mildly disturbing skull-faced butterflies, and when the Crystal Guardian starts copying her as well, Finn and Jake realize that the Crystal Guardian will only attack them if they attack first.

ZEXAL in Yuma and Nash's face-off: the Barian activated a card to decide the duel's outcome in a one-on-one battle between their ace monsters. Both duelists went on the offensive, only for Yuma to stop halfway and cancel his attack. Nash thought his former friend had a combo in mind, but Yuma merely didn't want to lose his friend. Unknowingly to him, had he resumed his attack, he'd have lost the duel, and his noble gesture won him the game due to a loophole.

Zangetsu explains that he won't simply tell Ichigo the ultimate technique of his power and proceeds to fight him. After a bit of swordplay that doesn't seem to go anywhere, Ichigo figures out he won't learn the secret by pure force by fighting, but rather by letting Zangetsu stab him. This is exactly what the spirit wanted and gives Ichigo his power for the final confrontation. To be noted is how Zangetsu's second purpose was to get Ichigo to accept his Superpowered Evil Side as part of him.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_243f5fd3	comment	This is done in some Sonic The Hedgehog games. Well, to an extent. The Flying Battery Zone Act 1 miniboss, Gapsule, in Sonic 3 & Knuckles, involves you just making him hit himself. Technically speaking, you did NOT attack him! The Act 2 miniboss, Barrier Eggman, is this as well. You defeat it by just avoiding its attacks until it apparently overheats and destroys itself. The Sandopolis Zone Act 1 boss, Egg Golem, can be attacked, but the only way to actually destroy it is by making it fall into quicksand at the edge of the area. You can either repeatedly attack it to knock it back into the quicksand, or just stand in the quicksand yourself (repeatedly jumping so you don't sink) at the very edge of the screen and let it just jump into the quicksand by itself. As well as this, Lava Reef Zone Act 2 boss, Hot Mobile. You just avoid falling into the lava or touching the bombs and eventually he will bomb himself to defeat. The Quartz Quadrant boss in Sonic the Hedgehog CD involves you just avoiding his attacks, running toward him, and letting the treadmill scrape off the floor of his machine. For someone with an IQ of 300, Eggman isn't very smart... Averted in Sonic Advance 3. Egg Jack-in-the-Box, boss of Toy Kingdom Zone, slowly crawls toward one of the pits, and the way you defeat is by making them fall in the pit. But, if you let him approach the pit he is facing he'll simply slide back and forth in the arena for a while, and chances are that you will get hurt and killed in a blink. Or thrown into a pit.

Although Leo is initially reluctant to follow the titular Ancient One's advice and just give up, he eventually does so, which saves him, as the demons immediately cease their attack. In one episode of "Fast Forward", Darius Dunn and Cody Jones are battling each other in mechs and Cody is unable to take him head-on due to Dunn's robot being much more powerful, so he shields himself and lets Darius attack him repeatedly until his power runs out, enabling Cody to counterattack and defeat him.

The reason to do this is to build up power for your Beam Spam, but it's possible to make it through a whole level without firing a shot. In fact, if you can do precisely that and then survive each level boss's barrage of light and dark bullets without shooting back for 100 seconds, then the boss will just fly away and you'll be awarded the rank of 'Dot Eater!' Not to mention that you must survive against the final boss this way.

The two sides are safely partitioned from each other, but this leads to a dangerous Jekyll & Hyde situation; therefore, the crew takes the risk of lowering the partition in hopes that Data would win.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_367f632a	comment	In Dawn of War: Winter Assault, the Imperial Guard Escort Mission requires that you follow a convoy very close to two enemy bases. While the convoy will last longer than most examples, being composed of a high-end Awesome Personnel Carrier and Space Marines, they will soon die to the relentless waves targeting it. One solution is to instantly switch over to the Eldar base: this greatly reduces the number of attacking units (and as the Eldar have teleporting builders and jump tanks, you can easily send support to the convoy with little risk), then switch back once the convoy is safe.

Violence won't work in this battle, and the only way to defeat Ahriman is for Duncan to achieve inner peace. Garrick, an immortal bent on getting revenge on Duncan, tormented Duncan somehow with visions and illusions, then told him he had to lay down his sword to stop it. It was all a ploy to make Duncan an easy kill. Fortunately Duncan wised up just in time to save his neck.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_5921531b	comment	In Persona 4, Shadows are the coalesced negative emotions and true feelings that people hide in their innermost hearts. When a Shadow manifests itself, it is typical for its creator to deny it, resulting in it absorbing power and turning into a monstrous abomination —cue the boss fight. But even after you and your teammates defeat it, the Shadow will just stand back up again and again until the character willfully stops fighting and accepts it as part of him/herself. Or apparently reject it so hard it disappears on its own, in Mitsuo's case. A literal case as the best way to survive the tail end of two boss fights. Shadow Rise will cast a spell when she hits half health, and Izanami will simply ignore every attack and skills you use when she runs out of health. This lasts for three turns each, and both will still attack while you can't touch them. The easiest way to stay alive is block with all characters, heal if necessary, and wait for the script to roll out Teddie obliterating the Shadow/Izanami-no-Okami.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_5afbc0cb	comment	In Undertale, almost all encounters can be resolved through either fighting or granting mercy. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, the nonviolent option tends to require more effort than just not attacking, with some sort of action required to get the monster to stand down. Some encounters do result in a similar experience to the usual uses of this trope, though, such as the battle against Toriel, which is solved by repeatedly choosing the "Spare" option even though it initially doesn't seem to be doing anything, and trying to talk didn't help. There's also an inversion: in the Genocide route, the final boss eventually recognizes that you're winning, and plays with this trope to turn the tides. He takes a turn in which he doesn't attack, meaning his turn never ends and yours never starts, so you can't attack him... in theory, anyway. The main game itself has a different type of inversion: Asgore, at the start of the fight, will destroy the Mercy option, and you're forced to whittle his health until the game puts him at one HP, at which point you have the option of killing or sparing him. A Perspective Flip of this trope occurs early on in the Genocide route. Instead of trying to stop you through force of arms like Undyne and Sans, Papyrus refuses to fight and offers you mercy and friendship. Whether this works, well... that will depend on how deep your own determination to butcher absolutely everyone runs, and despite being a Zero-Effort Boss, from an emotional perspective, it can sometimes feel like the hardest thing to do in the entire game.

The Atom realized that this Amazo was a "one-man-Justice-League" on a conceptual level, and therefore the JLA chairman, Superman, had the one power that could defeat him; the power to disband the JLA. The android was promptly Brought Down to Normal. Another fight with Amazo's "son" (this was well after the above flaw was the subject of an Obvious Rule Patch) realized that this Amazo could tap into their minds and use the tactics one leaguer would use to counter the other. Realizing this, Batman instead started hurling insults at Superman, which snowballed into the league bickering with each other. Of course, since this Amazo had the personality of all the league and could get in tune with them, it resulted in him fighting himself until he self-destructed. It worked, but it was implied that it did more damage to the League in other ways.

Shooting Pyramid Head will speed up the battle and slow him down, making it easier to escape from a tight spot where it's hard to escape from a Great Knife to the head.

Superman then stops resisting the tractor beam's pull, turns around and speeds down to try to break through the hull's ship. Brainiac hurriedly turns his tractor beam off and raises his shields back again.

Many members of the team argue against attacking him at all. Unfortunately, this doesn't work— Vehemence can feedback his powers with his own aggression, or Emotion Bomb others to goad them into attacking. There's also For Whom The Death Tolls, whom Sydney decides has the Nemesis power: he can perfectly counter any attack against him but is completely impotent if no one attacks him at all.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_73d7930f	comment	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "The House of Quark", the title Ferengi is challenged to a duel to the death by a Klingon named D'Ghor. Fighting would almost certainly get him killed, but refusing would dishonor the Klingon woman he's been trying to help. His solution is to show up, throw his weapon aside, kneel down, and dare the Klingon to murder him in cold blood, without any honor or glory. D'Ghor goes right ahead and tries it, but Chancellor Gowron stops him and, disgusted at such a dishonorable act, discommendates him on the spot. A Moment of Awesome for Quark for sure. In "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places", Quark once again meets his Klingon ex-wife (she divorced him at the end of "The House of Quark" at his request) and is now enamored with her. However, one of her servants is disgusted by a Ferengi putting the moves on his mistress and challenges him to a duel. When asked by Worf what he plans to do, Quark suggests doing the same thing as before. Worf replies that, last time, he was only saved by Gowron. This time, he would get his head cut off. Instead, they have Worf remotely control Quark. After "Quark" wins, he makes as if to finish off the Klingon... only for Worf to force him to step away. Nobody said this particular duel had to be to the death. The female Klingon declares his honor satisfied and fires him.

You simply do nothing except end your turn. Doing this showcases the AI's ability to screw itself over, but your rank will suck. The Hard Campaign averts this by giving you pre-deployed units, though you can still actually pull that off by using the "Delete" function on your units, which doesn't count as you being routed. The Enhanced Remake gives the AI enough smarts not to screw itself over.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_76376304	comment	Metro 2033: More along the lines of "Hold your fire", in the levels Library, Depository, and Archives, the player is pitted against the Librarians, horrifically ugly ape-like mutants that even on the easiest difficulty have no problem killing the player in just a few hits. Before the player actually comes face-to-face with these beasts, however, an oft-ignored or unheard bit of dialogue from one of Artyom's NPC comrades tells the player "Never let them out of your sight, show them your back, you'll die. If a beast gets nervous, move away, but slowly." These words ring true, if the player is confronted by a Librarian they can stand their ground without firing a shot, and so long as they slowly back away if the Librarian slinks in closer and do not turn to flee, the Librarian is most likely to turn away and disappear into another section of the Library. It is actually possible to get through the entirety of all three levels with this method, and in the higher difficulties (Ranger and Ranger Hardcore) it is almost essential to try this the majority of the time, as Librarians can soak up bullets like they're made of steel, and ammunition is painfully scarce in either of these difficulties.

He was hacked and tricked into playing Global Thermonuclear War by the teenage hero David, with David playing the role of the USSR. So Joshua ends up going all out and as the movie progresses, he works at starting this war and winning. In the end, David, with the help of Joshua's creator, gets Joshua to play Tic-Tac-Toe against himself. Since Joshua plays to win, every move is the optimal move, resulting in a tie game. Joshua goes through every permutation of the game and then correlates this to Global Thermonuclear War, realizing if everyone everywhere launches all the nukes, there will be no survivors and thus no winners. This leads to Joshua's conclusion, "the only winning move is not to play."

Sheathe Your Sword / int_81692f99	comment	Happens sometimes in Star Trek. Star Trek: The Original Series: In "Day of the Dove", an Energy Being induces a Hate Plague between the Federation and Klingon factions on the Enterprise. It's defeated when both sides realize it's there and make peace. Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Hero Worship", a Negative Space Wedgie that destroyed a science vessel is battering the Enterprise repeatedly. Captain Picard orders more and more power to the shields, but the attacks continue to get worse. When the other ship's only survivor says their captain did the same thing, Data discovers that the anomaly is just reflecting all the energy back at them. The solution is instead to drop the shields, giving it nothing to reflect. In "Peak Performance", Data is pitted in a friendly game with a visiting alien who is a master at this game. He is soundly defeated by the smug alien, unable to match his offense or defense. In a rematch at the end of the episode, Data wins by playing for a tie instead of a victory, rather than trying to gain advantage or take the lead when chances occur, he chooses moves that favor neither player in the long run and promote stalemate. The alien is unable to defeat the android with his limitless patience and storms off in a huff over the maddening strategy. "Gambit" gives us an ancient Vulcan artifact that works like a psychic weapon, amplifying the telepathic abilities of the wielder to instantly kill anyone who even thinks aggressive thoughts. Naturally, it lost its power to destroy the Vulcan people once they found their inner peace through logic and the abandonment of emotion. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: In "The House of Quark", the title Ferengi is challenged to a duel to the death by a Klingon named D'Ghor. Fighting would almost certainly get him killed, but refusing would dishonor the Klingon woman he's been trying to help.

Nobody said this particular duel had to be to the death. The female Klingon declares his honor satisfied and fires him. Star Trek: Picard: In season 3, Data and Lore are the two primary personalities inside an android discovered deep within a top-secret facility. The two sides are safely partitioned from each other, but this leads to a dangerous Jekyll & Hyde situation; therefore, the crew takes the risk of lowering the partition in hopes that Data would win. Lore initiates a Battle in the Center of the Mind, but rather than fighting back, Data hands his memories over to Lore one by one like treasured keepsakes, knowing Lore's pride would result in him keeping them as trophies... and that this would result in his evil brother largely becoming him.

Considering the message that you got if you attacked ("A true paladin... will sheathe his sword."), this is probably the Trope Namer. The literal reason behind this working becomes a Guide Dang It! moment in the US port of the SNES version. You win because you're fighting yourself, but still as a Dark Knight who keeps using its "Darkness" ability, which damages every unit at the cost of its own HP until it kills itself. However, in the US version you didn't have this when Cecil was still a Dark Knight, so you'd have no idea that he was losing health. Of course, with sufficient Level Grinding, you could get bigger healing potions that could restore all of your health at once, leaving you free to attack. With enough of these, you could whittle down the Dark Knight quite easily. Yes, you can defeat your inner darkness by beating the crap out of it!

Doubly so, he also spotted and destroyed a microscopic irritant that was keeping the Hulk enraged. Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man: Once he realized that he likely would have killed Spidey if he had hit him, he just let Spidey punch him until Spidey realized it was pointless and gave up. (Then they finally realized they were on the same side, and joined forces against Lex Luthor and Doc Ock.) In Superman Family #194, Supergirl fights a villain equipped with a device that absorbs hate and transforms it into strength. In order to beat him, Supergirl uses self-hypnosis to remain relaxed and motionless. Without hate to power his engine up, the villain loses his strength and is defeated. In The Jungle Line, Superman has been infected with Bloodmorel spores, which cause, among other nasty effects, hallucinations and high fever. Superman fights his hallucinations furiously, unaware that the strain is increasing his fever and thus killing him until Swamp Thing convinces him that the only way to beat the Bloodmorel's illness is to not fight it. Superman starts calming down and relaxing, and his fever comes quickly down. "Brainiac Rebirth": When Brainiac activates a tractor beam to drag Superman into his ship, the latter initially but futilely tries to resist its pull; however, Superman realizes that tractor beam is so powerful because Brainiac has diverted his ship's full power in it, at the cost of lowering his force-shields. Superman then stops resisting the tractor beam's pull, turns around and speeds down to try to break through the hull's ship. Brainiac hurriedly turns his tractor beam off and raises his shields back again. DC Retroactive Superman: In "The '70s" issue, Superman is being besieged by phantom enemies, created by his subconscious after Mxyztlk messed up with his powers. When Superman figures out that the apparitions are subconsciously triggered by his stress, he does meditation exercises to calm down and starts ignoring his visions, which causes them to vanish entirely. In All-Star Superman, one of the great labors that Superman completed before his death is confronting the Ultra-Sphinx and answering his riddle in order to save Lois's life. Not even the legendary Hercules or Samson could answer the riddle or defeat the Ultra-Sphinx, so they had to trick it into coming back in time and facing Superman, in the hopes that he could defeat it. The riddle is "What happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object?"

But if you fight back (or if your Automatic Combat Mode is on) you are pretty much screwed by the same curse. You can order Virgil to hold position somewhere nearby so that he can't reach the fight until everyone is already dead; the Resurrection spell, however, can be cast at long distance. If he casts it on you before combat ends, the game over screen doesn't appear. Yes, you can end up cheating the peaceful elven hippie curse using a combo of preemptive violence and necromancy!

The last battle with The Dragon comes only moments after the reveal that said dragon is your long-lost twin brother, who was kidnapped, forcibly turned into a robotic chimera, and brainwashed. During the battle, the knowledge of this leaves you unable to attack (later on you can try, but those attempts are pretty much you closing your eyes and half-heartedly swinging), so all you can do is defend and heal as you, your father, and the spirit of your dead mother try to reach him. In the end, he regains his senses, but then turns his own attack on himself and dies in your arms.. This is the one that involves the least combat, as you are simply expected to Defend and heal as much as you can and, in fact, Lucas will refuse to hit save for a small portion in the battle.

After a few hits, the Ninja will toss aside his sword and say, "Good. Now we can fight as warriors — hand to hand. It is the basis of all combat. Only a fool trusts his life to a weapon." Try to use your weapons, and it will not go well for you. Because he's a cyborg, you can make him vulnerable with chaff grenades (they mess with his sensors), but at this point, you can't carry enough chaff grenades to defeat him this way alone. In Snake Eater, the player cannot damage The Sorrow — He's already dead! The only option is to wait for him to kill you, then use the Revival Pill. Getting as far as possible before being instant killed will net you some special camo, though.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy IV had Cecil go through this to cast off his dark past and become a Paladin. Considering the message that you got if you attacked ("A true paladin... will sheathe his sword."), this is probably the Trope Namer. The literal reason behind this working becomes a Guide Dang It! moment in the US port of the SNES version. You win because you're fighting yourself, but still as a Dark Knight who keeps using its "Darkness" ability, which damages every unit at the cost of its own HP until it kills itself. However, in the US version you didn't have this when Cecil was still a Dark Knight, so you'd have no idea that he was losing health. Of course, with sufficient Level Grinding, you could get bigger healing potions that could restore all of your health at once, leaving you free to attack. With enough of these, you could whittle down the Dark Knight quite easily. Yes, you can defeat your inner darkness by beating the crap out of it! In the sequel Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, you can try this with Kain, but his dark side is a bit too powerful for it to work, kicking off the main plot thread of the Prologue. The Bonus Dungeon in the GBA remake also features a similar situation for Kain. After a few turns of defending, Dark!Kain turns into Lunar Bahamut, and then you can whale on him. The EU version of the PS1 remake, Final Fantasy Anthology, which holds both FF4 and FF5, has a hint appearing during Cecil's fight, outright saying "A TRUE PALADIN... WOULD SHEATHE HIS SWORD." And Cecil has the Dark-ability in that version too, but since it's highly flawed, most players don't realize that's the way to beat him. Final Fantasy V: The game makes your party "fight" the Mimic by mimicking the Mimic mimicking you — i.e. doing absolutely nothing. He would congratulate you, and yield if you did so for awhile. Of course, there's that Oxygen Meter in the corner to keep an eye on... Gogo can be beaten with proper tactics, but if you waste too much time reaching the boss and escaping, you'll drown — unless you simply use Teleport to escape once you've beaten Gogo. It's still not advised, because 1) Gogo counters all attacks against him, and 2) once you hit him enough, he mocks you for not playing along and becomes one of the most powerful bosses in the game. Like the Whelk and the Guard Scorpion right below, the first boss of Final Fantasy V is the Wing Raptor, which will shield itself every couple of turns, bolstering its defense and countering with the "Claw" attack if it's hit in that state. Good time to make use of those potions or just defend — it's not like there's much else one can do at that point. The first boss you encounter in "Final Fantasy VI" is a snail with a shell that absorbs attacks and counters with a massive jolt that could wipe your party at its low level at that point in the game, so your NPC allies hint for you to hold off attacking while it withdraws into its shell. You CAN actually destroy the shell if you keep yourself healed long enough for it to run out of mana, however, which will reward you with your first ether if you kill it with a looooooot of patience for all the health points you need to whittle down. The Guard Scorpion from Final Fantasy VII has a phase where it raises its tail. Attack during this phase, and it'll immediately counter with a powerful laser that hits the whole party. The only way to avoid it is to just stop attacking and wait for it to return to normal. Final Fantasy IX also has Ozma, a bonus boss that can be defeated this way, by letting your characters counterattack, since inputting actions causes it to have an immediate turn. Final Fantasy Record Keeper, being what it is, also features the Dark Knight with an updated sprite in certain events. Unlike the original fight, he is far more easily beaten with brute force, and Darkness doesn't use his HP to cast, but this is still an option. Cecil will kill himself after twenty turns, and on the Elite difficulty version of the fight, this is the easiest way to beat him. In Final Fantasy XIII Snow's Eidolon, the Shiva sisters, cannot be defeated by attacks. The only way to win being to hold back and tank enough damage to impress them before time runs out and it kills Snow. And this is just the first of the Eidolon fights. Final Fantasy XIV has some boss fights where you have a magicked bomb placed on you and it will explode if you attack or even move. To avoid getting blown up, you sheathe your weapon and stand still until the debuff vanishes.

He then notices that the Stardust Spark Dragon is crying and sees through its memories of previous duelers who attempted to acquire it, making the mistake he nearly did. Yusei then drops his speed and lets the Stardust Spark Dragon attack him. Which allows him to be seen as worthy of wielding it and gain its card.

Early in the story, an old veteran tells the protagonist about a soldier he knew who did something like this to save his buddies during a war, saying, "Sometimes you have to lose in order to win." At the climax of the movie, where the villain is holding his friends hostage and demanding he show himself, he decides that it's sound advice, and does the same thing. (Fortunately, one of them decides to return the favor.)

Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Rarity all try convincing him to leave the cave and fail, while Rainbow Dash's attempt to fight him also fails because she is a little pony and he is a massive dragon. Fluttershy finally manages to cow the dragon by yelling at him in defense of her friends, and then politely asking him to go somewhere else. In "Boast Busters," Trixie boasts that she once saved the town of Hoofington by defeating an Ursa Major, a gigantic bear made of stars. Snips and Snails go into the forest to wake up what they think is an Ursa Major (actually an Ursa Minor) so they can see Trixie fight it, but she's not magically strong enough to, and confesses that her previous boast was a lie to make herself look more impressive. Twilight saves the town by playing a lullaby to lull the Ursa Minor to sleep, giving it a huge container of milk, and floating it back into its cave.

Defend enough and your party will talk him into turning his back, allowing you to take out the demon possessing him. Before that, there is the encounter with Shirley, who can only be "beaten" by answering her questions correctly. A common fan belief is her "fight" is to recover from the rather brutal encounter with Drake seconds earlier. She was originally supposed to have been a proper boss fight like the other original Dragoons, but her healing powers and unlimited MP would have made it unwinnable.

Another example in a previous episode when Mako's family is given better living conditions when Ryuko and her try to play by the Academy's rules by starting their own club. However, the richer lifestyle changes the family for the worst which Ryuko notices and quits the club. Satsuki gives Mako a two-star Goku uniform and has her fight Ryuko if she wants to keep her lifestyle. After a bit of fighting, Ryuko purposely de-powers, refusing to fight further and just lets Mako wail on her. This goes on till sunset till it looks like Mako is going to finish her. Mako stops short of the final blow and realizes her greed, calling out her own family for not trying to stop her. This of course was Ryuko's plan all along to get her to come to her senses.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_d5361876	comment	In the Mother series, every single Final Boss cannot be defeated just by attacking them. You can attack them, but no amount of damage will take them out: EarthBound Beginnings: You have to sing all the parts of the song that you'd been gathering throughout the game to remind Giegue of the people who raised him and to get him to surrender of his own will. EarthBound (1994): This is the one that involves the most straightforward combat, as the first two phases, against Porky and Giygas in the Devil's Machine, and the first proper phase against Giygas, are finished upon dealing enough damage. From that on, however, Paula has to use the up-to-then practically useless Pray command in order to allow the prayers of every other character in the game, plus the player themself, to overpower Giygas. Mother 3 has a very, very tragic variation of this. The last battle with The Dragon comes only moments after the reveal that said dragon is your long-lost twin brother, who was kidnapped, forcibly turned into a robotic chimera, and brainwashed. During the battle, the knowledge of this leaves you unable to attack (later on you can try, but those attempts are pretty much you closing your eyes and half-heartedly swinging), so all you can do is defend and heal as you, your father, and the spirit of your dead mother try to reach him. In the end, he regains his senses, but then turns his own attack on himself and dies in your arms.. This is the one that involves the least combat, as you are simply expected to Defend and heal as much as you can and, in fact, Lucas will refuse to hit save for a small portion in the battle.

At this point, Omori has decided that since mental repression has failed, the best way for Sunny to escape his guilt is to take the easy way out. No matter how many times Sunny strikes Omori down, he constantly comes back, stronger than ever, eventually defeating Sunny. The only way to get a good ending is for Sunny to persist through that, then use his violin to play the duet he was supposed to play with Mari at a recital on the day everything went wrong. This symbolic action, denoting that Sunny is willing to face the reality and the consequences of his actions and perhaps forgive himself, causes Omori to fade away in Sunny's arms.

At this point in the series, Ares was being portrayed as more of a formless God of Evil who primarily acted through possessing the bodies of the dead and being something of a psychic vampire, feeding off the violence and aggression of others. When Hercules finally fully uncovers Ares' plan to start a war between two kingdoms and confronts him in the body he's possessing, Ares starts slinging magical lightning at Hercules, and no matter how Hercules fights he can't get the better of Ares. When Hercules remembers that Ares draws his power from violence and aggression, however, he stops trying to fight back and gets the soldiers of the two kingdoms to lay down their weapons and refuse to fight. Ares quickly becomes weaker, and finally is no longer even able to continue possessing the body he had been using.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_ecd2d797	comment	The Empathic Manifestation under Athkathla in Baldur's Gate II has to be defeated by not fighting him... Although in this particular case, you have to actually HEAL him. Would be a case of Revive Kills Zombie if it weren't for the fact that it explicitly states feeding on hostility and hostile emotions (and so the implication goes that it was your kindness that beat him, not the healing per se). A secondary example from the same game are the "Shadow" enemies inside the Big Circus Tent. They roll to hit like any other enemy, but do no damage unless you've attacked them first (thus showing you believe they actually exist); they vanish in a puff of smoke when killed and grant no Experience Points or item drops whatsoever. The area also contains "Shadow Fiends" that look the same, but are able to damage you regardless; it's these that you must actually attack. The hint that you're given to distinguish between the two is for your character to "Close your eyes and only strike back if it hurts you". High-level characters (or those with Jan or Keldorn in their party) can also bypass the shadows entirely with True Sight spell or the Detect Illusions ability.

How to kill them? If they went two turns (not necessarily consecutively) they died. However, two players ended up dying while their allies told them not to attack.

So The Hero Hank Chu surrenders. Since the fight is technically over, Ten Grand can no longer harm Hank.

In order to defuse the tyke bomb that is the Odmience after the two were matched blow to blow, Cassandra disarms him of his sword and refuses to defend herself against the fist-fight that follows. Brutalizing an opponent who has shown him mercy proves to be too much for the Odmience and destroys his resolve to finish her off.

After several brutally difficult rounds, Joe realizes this Gear's weakness: if he doesn't do anything, the A.I. won't have any data to react to, and Mikio is not a very good boxer without his Gear guiding his moves, meaning that standing still for several rounds completely neuters his only real strength.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros.: In the original, the best way to defeat Pikachu is to jump to the tower at the player's right and avoid all attacks, jumping if necessary. Sooner or later, regardless of difficulty, Pikachu will use agility and be rendered unable to jump, falling to his demise. In the sequel, it's possible to beat a level 9 Ness in a single 2-player stock match on Jungle Japes by... standing there. It works every single time. One of the easier ways to win the 15-minute version of the Multi-Mook Melee (in which the goal is simply to survive 15 minutes) is to just run away from all of your opponents. The AI of the mooks is dependent on the number that have fallen, so running away from them as much as you can results in trying to survive against absurdly weak foes. The only thing keeping this from being a Zero-Effort Challenge is that the AI always has an element of Too Dumb to Live - eventually, those early mooks will end up jumping off the level and bringing in more competent opponents to replace them.

Sheathe Your Sword / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Hero Worship", a Negative Space Wedgie that destroyed a science vessel is battering the Enterprise repeatedly. Captain Picard orders more and more power to the shields, but the attacks continue to get worse. When the other ship's only survivor says their captain did the same thing, Data discovers that the anomaly is just reflecting all the energy back at them. The solution is instead to drop the shields, giving it nothing to reflect. In "Peak Performance", Data is pitted in a friendly game with a visiting alien who is a master at this game. He is soundly defeated by the smug alien, unable to match his offense or defense. In a rematch at the end of the episode, Data wins by playing for a tie instead of a victory, rather than trying to gain advantage or take the lead when chances occur, he chooses moves that favor neither player in the long run and promote stalemate. The alien is unable to defeat the android with his limitless patience and storms off in a huff over the maddening strategy. "Gambit" gives us an ancient Vulcan artifact that works like a psychic weapon, amplifying the telepathic abilities of the wielder to instantly kill anyone who even thinks aggressive thoughts. Naturally, it lost its power to destroy the Vulcan people once they found their inner peace through logic and the abandonment of emotion.
