Total Party Kill	comment	The entire adventuring party dies in an epic blaze of glory! ... wait, no, that's not quite right. The party was trying to quietly and discreetly remove some guards, and Bob decided to use a tactical nuke in hand-to-hand combat. The remains of the group wouldn't fill a coffee can. A Total Party Kill (abbreviated â€œTPKâ€� among many roleplaying gamers) is often the result of complete player idiocy. Occasionally, the Game Master won't balance an encounter well, and the mooks are much bigger than he thought. And some days, the Random Number God just doesn't like you, and your dice collectively vote for the party's violent demise in the most embarrassing way possible. When this happens in a MMORPG, it's called a "Party Wipe". It happens disturbingly often when you enter a level-appropriate dungeon with a Pick-Up Group. A Leeroy Jenkins is likely to be involved. Not the same as Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies: in that trope, the Game Master deliberately kills everyone. Here, players die due to getting in over their heads. If the Game Master values the current plot or characters, he may save the group, but otherwise, it's time to roll up another party. Also differs from a game going Off the Rails (even if it causes the destruction of the party, or the whole world for that matter) in that the GM never actually loses control of the situation; rather, the players get hosed through either incompetence or bad luck, or most often, both. Compare Redshirt Army and Mook Horror Show. See also the "Everybody Dies" Ending. For incredibly stupid ways you can do this to yourself in in video games, see Yet Another Stupid Death. Game Over is a supertrope to this one. Since this is a death trope, expect spoilers throughout.

Total Party Kill / int_108cd205	comment	Wizardry: In the Nintendo Hard early games, the death of all party members was not uncommon. The developers set things up such that backup characters would have to go on a corpse-retrieval mission before the party could be resurrected. However, if the backup characters were no stronger than the main party, the retrieval mission might be suicidal. The later games added the option to load and save, making this trope less bad. The Dark Savant trilogy had what was known as the "Boffo" endings; where, if you took a particular path, everyone died. In Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge, the "Boffo" was giving the wrong answer to one of the final bosses. Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant had the "Boffo" as taking the totally selfish/unchivalric option at the end of the game (taking the GLOBE instead of the GIRL). Wizardry 8 pulled the stops out on the "Boffo" which resulted in not only your party, but the whole world exploding, if you neglected to disarm a certain bomb before heading off to the endgame... Teleporting into a rock perma-kills your entire party. In Bane of the Cosmic Forge, you can walk off a tower near the start of the game, resulting in an instant Game Over.

Total Party Kill / int_1ad4fe9a	comment	Might and Magic: In VII this would be the result of encounter with Necromancers and Liches when you visited places where you really shouldn't be such as Vine Cellar or Watchtower in Deyja. This is mostly because their highest tier has Dragon Breath in their arsenal, which would kill weaker parties with single cast. Of course, you can, depending on your choices, to learn said spell as well ... and get yourself killed with it when you cast it on target that is too close to you, because you can't have any resistance to it ever. The above applies to some area-of-effect spells in general in VI-VIII, such as Starburst or Meteor Shower. Cast it too close to you and you get killed yourself as well. Searing Rune from X that is exclusive to Rune Priest, can do this as well, if you cast it while you have enemies right in front of you. In X the second boss is fought at top of a lighthouse. The boss can push you around. Since the lighthouse was not built with OSHA in mind, guess what happens when you have your back to edge of the roof and boss pushes you back?

Total Party Kill / int_1c1ceec7	comment	In Monster Hunter, a party of three or four can instantly go from "Defeats: 0/3" to QUEST FAILED if the entire party gets knocked out at once, as the three-KO limit is shared amongst the entire party. In a more specific example, Behemoth, Safi'jiiva and Alatreon in Monster Hunter: World WILL inflict this on the party should they not do enough damage within five minutes as the former two will not create rocks that allow the party to hide, while the latter will deal enough damage over time to outdamage any practical healing attempts.

Total Party Kill / int_2354d12c	comment	Dragon Quest has a few of these: The Thwack (or Defeat) spell can kill your whole party in one go if you're unlucky. The Kamikazee (or Sacrifice) spell will kill your whole party in one go; no saving throw for you. Kamikazee even gives the Nightmare Fuel message "Character Name explodes into a thousand fragments!" instead of the typical "Character Name dies!" But the caster can still be resurrected somehow... If your party is confused but has high defense stats, they will ineffectively bash each other with their weapons—but magic attacks don't undo confusion, so the enemy can still Frizz you to death! Dragon Quest II: The Batmandrills/Gold Batboons and their equivalents in the remakes are a late game random encounter enemy that can cast the spell Kamikazee/Sacrifice. They rarely cast it, but if they do, your entire party will be instantly killed no matter what. You can't do anything to safeguard against it, and you don't get a saving throw. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. The enemy technically dies too, but even if the last enemy casts it and the whole field on both sides is wiped out as a result, you still lose. Dragon Quest XI: Ãœberkilling Machines get bumped up a level in difficulty in this entry. They're restricted to a couple of dungeons; but can attack twice, reflect spells, use rapidfire beams at random, and bring one of their allies back from death. If you face more than one and your levels are still low for the post-game, this may well be a total massacre.

Total Party Kill / int_278d58b5	comment	Because of how Bloodborne works, its possible to die in early dungeons by just getting mobbed after opening a door or when rushing a single enemy and not noticing his ten buddies behind him who proceed to stunlock you with hit after hit until you die. Bosses aren't much better, with bosses like Amygdala easily killing a whole unaware party just by jumping on them, or the area effect attacks of enemies like the Orphan of Kos reaching further than one would anticipate, the intended target dodging to avoid the attack while your buddy behind you misjudges the placenta and gets struck across the face, dying instantly.

The worst of all? Israfel, Heimdall, and Trumpeter can use it, and this very last one can appear as one of the unidentified demons in the very last dungeon, at a level of 83, pretty much ensuring your party is wiped if you don't kill him before he toots his horn.

Total Party Kill / int_2d644371	comment	In the Tales Series, a boss's Hi-Ougi/Mystic Arte can easily lead to this if everyone gets caught up in it, especially on higher difficulties. In the PS2 remake of Tales of Destiny, Barbatos Goetia's aptly named World Destroyer arte will most likely cause this if you fail to interrupt it in time, as it nukes the entire battlefield for damage well over the HP cap. The PS3 version of Tales of Vesperia has a particularly nasty example of this with the last boss and his Big Bang mystic arte on difficulties above Normal, as it can't be avoided, and deals enough damage to OHKO anyone who doesn't have an invincibility buff and/or isn't Flynn. Clint's mystic arte can be even worse, as it performs a One-Hit KO on every single character who's had their fatal strike gauge depleted by him or his allies, with an obvious result if everyone is in that situation. Removing your ability to get hit entirely with Repede's Gale Dog or Estelle's Force Field is the only way to avoid it, and having an Auto-Revive effect active is the only way to (Technically) survive a hit from it. In Tales of Arise, in the DLC bonus boss fight against Kirito and Asuna, Shoot the Medic First is enforced: if you take Kirito down first, Asuna will respond by using her Mystic Arte, Unlimited Terrain Manipulation, which causes this.

Total Party Kill / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei: If you have played one of these games, you have probably seen an enemy cast Mahamaon or Mamudoon, realized that nobody in your party is immune, and seen everyone drop simultaneously. Or, worse, Megidolaon. Samsara and Die For Me!, are Mahamaon and Mamudoon with 80% of party-wide instant-death. But even these two don't compare much to the next example (as they are usually traditionally in possession of certain boss or secret demons), as is, the even more extreme, Megidoladyne, unique to Lucifer, as Superboss of Devil Survivor; it deals ridiculously high unblockable Almighty damage to every single member of ALL of your parties. And every time he uses it? It gets a 50% power boost. Never mind the fact that you'd need to be in the high 90s in level and have a maxed or nearly-maxed magic stat to even survive one hit and not be put near death by it, this spell eventually becomes powerful enough to induce a guaranteed Total Party Kill if you can't kill him fast enough...or figure out a way to get him to get the least possible amount of turns he can. Only a fool would attempt to take this boss on without preparing specially for Megidoladyne. Digital Devil Saga's ultimate Superboss, the Demi-Fiend, has their Gaea Rage skill, which inflicts at least 5,000 HP of damage to each of your party members in a game where each party member's HP caps at 999. Since it's an Almighty-elemental attack, it cannot be resisted in any way. There are a few flags that cause them to use this skill, the most notorious one being to have elemental immunities at any point in the battle, and yes, they will cast this skill at the start of the battle before you can even issue commands if anyone in your party comes into battle with an immunity. The only way to survive it is to have Cielo be sleeping while equipped with the "Null Sleep" skill (an oddly-named skill that, rather than negating Sleep, guarantees evasion of all attacks while asleep); otherwise, the skill may as well turn off your PS2. Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey has the Almighty skill "Horn of Fate", which effectively means the aforementioned Mamudoon or Mahamaon on both parties, having a high chance of wiping out everyone. The worst of all?

Keep in mind that many Shadow Missions involve hitting an orb that seals off the surrounding area and spawns monsters inside for the players to fight.

It's oftentimes built into adventure modules. The players were given a number of backup "clones" of their character for precisely this reason. If a game goes on too long, the GM is explicitly recommended to have something explode and kill everyone. This being Alpha Complex, "something" is very loosely defined, up to and including shoe polish.

Total Party Kill / int_438b63e4	comment	In Halo: Reach, this can sometimes occur in Firefight mode, which pits up to four players against increasingly difficult waves of covenant enemies. One of the most frequent ways this can happen is actually pretty surprising, the detonation of loose plasma grenades. Nearly all enemies have two plasma grenades on them, but most can't or won't use them and when they die the grenades are dropped on the ground. These tend to aggregate in certain places where there are ideal kill zones. When one grenade is hit, it will start a chain reaction that can easily kill all the players if they are unlucky enough to be caught in it. Can also easily happen if someone messes up with the target-designator and calls an artillery strike on their own heads.

Total Party Kill / int_49a88435	comment	Final Fantasy XII: Many, many, many bosses have abilities that can wipe out the entire party in one go if you don't know what you're doing. Unlike most games, however, FFXII expects you to deal with it by calling in the reserves (if they get wiped out before the main party is rezzed, well...I hope you enjoy the gentle ambiance of the Game Over screen). Unfortunately, not everyone remembers to train the reserves, since Leaked Experience in the game doesn't work that way. The most infamous instance of this trope is Zodiark, who has Darkja, an attack which not only does high magic damage to the entire party that cannot be avoided, but it also has a chance to inflict Instant Death. That doesn't sound so bad, except XII is one of the very few games in the series where this is no form of equipment that grants protection from One-Hit Kill attacks. Ergo, Zodiark has the potential to instantly kill off your entire active party regardless of their HP or level, and all you can do is cast the Shell protection spell to at least halve the insta-death chance.

Total Party Kill / int_49a88442	comment	Final Fantasy XIV: Multiple bosses are capable of unleashing total party kills if specific requirements aren't met. Some examples being Ultima Weapon, Ultima Beast and Odin who will charge their ultimate attacks (Ultima, Demi-Ultima and Zantetsuken respectively) when low on HP and must be defeated before they can use them. Midgardsormr will attempt two during the battle against him and a shield must be erected with the correct timing to block it. All primals ultimates will also cause a total party kill unless the correct requirements are met. A few enemies whose ultimate attack became possible to survive due to new gear will proceed to spam their ultimate until no one is left standing. Many bosses in late game content, particularly in the expansions, have attacks that take time to charge up, necessitating the players to accomplish certain tasks (more often than not killing all of the mooks present) before the attack finishes charging, or else get wiped. You don't even need a boss for a wipe in some dungeons - all that is required is an undergeared and overconfident tank (specifically, one trying to wall to wall pull before they have the gear and skills for doing so - most tanks under level 60 and 150-200+ ilvl should not even be trying anything beyond double pulls with very few exceptions), a DPS that charges ahead and overpulls more than the tank and healer can handle, or an undergeared or underperforming healer. Specifically bad dungeons for this tend to the the ones at the beginnings and ends of level tiers/with difficulty spikes or new mechanics and no higher ilvl requirement demanding upgrade before queuing. Haukke Manor is probably the first in ARR: it's one of the first level 30-35 duties, meaning tanks who have been coasting on their low ilvl or who haven't made the necessary vendor visit can roll up severely undergeared. Unfortunately, it's also before any healer gets effective partywide heals or regenerating heals. Combine this with overconfidence and the first introductions of boss fight and pull mechanics (AOEs that actually hit hard/cause status effects, the void lamps on the final boss) and that many players are truly new sprouts doing it for the very first time rather than leveling a new job. Luring traps in Palace of the Dead and Heaven-On-High are often almost guaranteed party wipes if hit during a pull or in later levels, unless the party has a fully-leveled 90/90 aetherpool tank and either/both a white mage with Holy or a machinist with Spread Shot. If the party is lacking any of the above - the only other ideal option is to pop a Pomander of Witching and hope for the best as whatever party you do have tries to cut down the numbers.

Total Party Kill / int_49ad83ee	comment	Gnomeregan, one of the low to mid-level instances in World of Warcraft, in addition to its other qualifications as That One Level, is notorious for buggy monster AI in sections with two paths, one of them elevated. If the party isn't careful (or has members who are lower level than recommended for the dungeon), a monster on the other path will "aggro" them, leading half of the path's monsters to them at once. Less an epic blaze of glory than getting zerged by several times the enemies the party can possibly handle. You could consider it an accidental Leeroy, except it was around way before Leeroy's rise to fame. Higher level characters, of course, may trigger this deliberately to clear the dungeon faster. The entire hunter class is notorious for this, due to a pet that can potentially aggro huge numbers of enemies, and the fact that so, so many don't know how to play their class, either in a group situation or at all. The original Leeroy Jenkins incident involved a raid on the Upper Blackrock Spire which had lots of eggs that hatched into dragon whelps if one got too close, with Leeroy's actions resulting in a mass aggro situation similar to that of Gnomeregan above. The video of the incident was a staged joke, but there are actually people who play this way. The game also makes its raid bosses examples of this in that many of them utilize area-of-effect attacks that can obliterate entire raid groups if not dealt with or otherwise physically avoided. Many of them are particularly forgiving in regards to performing the action necessary in time, others not. In addition, many bosses are actually timed in that they either possess a "hard enrage" (typically giving the boss a multiplier to damage dealt that means a One-Hit Kill for anyone involved, even tanks, if not dealt with within X minutes), or a "soft enrage" (aka Boss Arena Urgency). In the final battle against the Lich King, this WILL happen as a cutscene. Arthas raises his sword and smashes it into the ground, doing well over 800,000 damage. What's even worse? You cannot resurrect from this. The Release Spirit button will state "Your soul belongs to the Lich King now". Fortunately, though, Tirion breaks the sword that captured everyone's souls, and the released souls completely encircle and restrain the Lich King, turning the final 10% of the fight into a Curb-Stomp Battle. His Defile ability plays this trope straight. He targets a random player and makes a dark puddle appear under his feet. Every tick of damage made against any player makes it grow a yard larger. It only takes one inattentive player or two players who keep trying to hang around the edge too close (and "leapfrog" the puddle growth, so to speak) and the raid wipe is guaranteed. This single ability has caused more Lich King wipes than any other.

Total Party Kill / int_4eebfebb	comment	Digital Devil Saga's ultimate Superboss, the Demi-Fiend, has their Gaea Rage skill, which inflicts at least 5,000 HP of damage to each of your party members in a game where each party member's HP caps at 999. Since it's an Almighty-elemental attack, it cannot be resisted in any way. There are a few flags that cause them to use this skill, the most notorious one being to have elemental immunities at any point in the battle, and yes, they will cast this skill at the start of the battle before you can even issue commands if anyone in your party comes into battle with an immunity. The only way to survive it is to have Cielo be sleeping while equipped with the "Null Sleep" skill (an oddly-named skill that, rather than negating Sleep, guarantees evasion of all attacks while asleep); otherwise, the skill may as well turn off your PS2.

This allows them to live on as ghosts, as opposed to being obliterated by the Scratch, which would have meant absolute death. And then again when Her Imperious Condescension and a Caliborn-possessed Jack Noir obliterate the moons of Prospit and Derse in the human post-Scratch session. And yet, all four Nobles were on their quest beds in the moons' cores, and thus all four god-tiered instantly. Again in [S] GAME OVER, when Her Imperious Condescension arrives on LOFAF and starts going on a rampage. In the ensuing battle, seven members of the main cast die. Karkat is stabbed in the chest by Gamzee and falls into the Lava Pit. Kanaya cuts Gamzee in half with her chainsaw, but is then immediately disintegrated by the Condesce's Eye Beam. Jane is Impaled with Extreme Prejudice on the Unbreakable Katana along with Jake, who dies trying to save her from Aranea. Dave fights to defend Jade's corpse from Bec Noir and Bec!PM, but Bec and PM attack at the same time and stab Dave in the chest with their swords. Rose is stabbed in the chest by the Condesce's trident, but Roxy manages to grab Rose at the last second and teleport away. Aranea attempts to throw the rest of the planets at the Condesce to kill her, but Terezi breaks her concentration. Aranea mind-controls Terezi into stabbing herself in the chest with her cane before being flung to the ground like a rag doll, but Terezi manages to survive. The Condesce then grabs Aranea by the throat, forces the Ring of Life off her finger, and snaps Aranea's neck before dropping her body into the flames. Even worse, everyone who was at God Tier died either Heroically or Justly, which means they can't revive on their own. The wounds Rose and Terezi receive are both eventually fatal as well.

A card is drawn, players aren't equipped to deal with it, things begin falling apart, nobody can control the monster numbers, encounters go exceedingly poorly, and then you're up against the ancient one with little more than your starting equipment, a pocket of dreams, and a matchstick. There's little one can do to maintain avoiding this scenario, the game is built around card draws that can go terribly wrong with no control. Of course the difficulty of the ancient one can dictate how poorly this will go, with AO's like Azathoth killing everyone instantly but otherwise not affecting the game, Glaaki outright screwing the board and killing you in battle if the Terror is 10, or Quachil Uttaus devouring a player from a card draw and instant-killing one player per turn during the final battle.

Total Party Kill / int_5ab7ccaf	comment	In the book Ready Player One, at the end of the book there is a massive battle between tens of thousands of "gunter" avatars (the game is mostly set in a futuristic virtual reality called the OASIS) and the avatars of the IOI, the main enemies of the book, as the main characters try to reach the crystal gate which holds the ultimate objective of the story. Upon realizing that the three remaining main characters were about to enter this gate, the IOI activate their Chekhov's gun: the Catalyst, an artifact which kills the avatars of absolutely every player in the entire sector of space. Permanently. It is earlier stated that a very large percentage of the entire population of the OASIS was present at this fight. Considering that the OASIS is pretty much used by every single person in the world, that's one heck of a TPK. The only reason the story doesn't end there is due to another Chekhov's gun—a magical Quarter found earlier in the book by the protagonist, which turned out to grant an extra life—and IOI having some backup troops hanging around just outside the sector of space that got nuked. There goes the neighborhood.

The attack itself, Bionis Slash X, is more Apocalypse How in attack form and gives a two-minute timer to stop it after its Vision concludes, temporarily making the battle into a sort of Time-Limit Boss. If you're unable to destroy the three devices around the boss before the Vision time limit expires, it's game over as the Mechonis destroys Bionis in a single downward stroke. In Xenoblade Chronicles 2, several attacks from superbosses, such as Artifice Ophion's Ouroboros Drive and Falak Buster, as well as the final boss, Artifice Aion's ultimate attack, Prometheous, have this sort of effect. Also worth mentioning is the status effect called Doom, which will instantly kill the afflicted character after a few seconds, and is usually inflicted on the entire party by attacks such as Tyrannotitan Kurodil's Murder Ray.

Think of it as an RPG with Despero as unwitting Game Master. During the Obsidian Age storyline, the League travels back to the distant past and encounters an ancient equivalent of itself made up of superhuman representatives of ... very roughly era-appropriate cultures with a much less "enlightened" take on their role as the world's protectors. All the Leaguers are killed (except Plastic Man, who's shattered into tiny pieces and strewn across the ocean floor, which he technically survives).

If all the player knights attend, and none of them manage a critical success on a Temperance roll, they are all going to die messily. It's less devastating in Pendragon than usual, at least - as a generational game, the players of any knight to end up coming off second-best in a battle with Saxons or killed by a stray lance or, yes, poisoned horribly at a victory feast gone horribly awry, can just roll up their character's son or brother or niece or something and rejoin the plot.

The Greenfield Grasshuggers for instance once suffered seventy five casualties in one match, which resulted in a consequential ruling that limited the number of players a team can field at once to sixteen. In game mechanic terms, halfling players are quite notorious for their technical deficiencies - they're just too short to throw or catch effectively, they run at half-pace, and when you see what other teams they have to block against, it's no wonder they often die horribly in trying to play.

The travelling army has no chance to retreat and if defeated, it's wiped out to a man.

Total Party Kill / int_86814cd2	comment	Final Fantasy IX: It's possible to do this to yourself. Doomsday casts Darkness damage on everything on the field, both your party and the enemies, and being the most powerful spell in your arsenal, it's more than capable of wiping out your entire party along with the enemies. There are two ways around this: you can either merge the attack with Steiner's sword to focus it on a single enemy, or you can equip gear that will negate or absorb darkness spells to each of your party members. Ozma. If you're unlucky enough, Ozma may cast Meteor at the beginning of the battle, and it will kill your entire party before your first turn. Climbing up the vines within Gizamaluke's Grotto leads you to a part of the world map that contain monsters that are at least 50 levels above your party's levels and you won't actually see them on a regular basis until disc 3 or 4. You face off against dragons that can cast Thundaga on your party and wipe them out in one shot or cause the Venom status that immobilizes the victim and has their HP and MP slowly drain. The other kind of monster in the area are large birds that can cast Firaga and Stop on your party. You're given a fair warning by a Moogle in the area you're about to leave not to climb up due to the extremely deadly monsters at your supposed current low levelled party members, so continuing anyway puts the whole blame on you. You can have at least one party member survive Grand Dragon's commonly-used "Thundaga" attack by equipping a Coral Ring you can acquire by letting Freya win the Festival of the Hunt, but you'll still be weak against its hard-hitting Venom Claw melee attack as well said bird enemies' hard-hitting attacks, at which point you shouldn't have an effective piece of equipment at that point for said bird enemies, unlike the Grand Dragons.

Keep in mind that counters don't interrupt the boss's action gauge, so it can take a turn normally RIGHT AFTER, which means it can use Searing Beam, an equally unblockable group targeting holy-elemental move on everyone. Oh, and holy element is the hardest one to null in the game, with only one single equipment that requires painful amount of effort to obtain), and the Rage skill that can be used by two specific party members out of fourteen.

Total Party Kill / int_86879363	comment	Unusually for an arcade game, this shows up in Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. At one point, the players are given the choice to stay overnight in some city or other (the exact details are not presently recalled), or to press on with their quest immediately. If you stay, the whole party gets wiped out when a dragon (that you would have fought had you gone on) annihilates the city that night. Game Over, no continuing. Sounds harsh, but the option to stay inverts But Thou Must! so hard that anyone who doesn't take the hint frankly deserves it. It's also difficult enough to find (requiring specific party members and specific choices having been made up to that point) that it probably counts as a malicious Easter Egg. It's also possible to get a TPK from the final boss's Breath Weapon attack if you fail to hide behind the rocks that appear just before she unleashes it, since the attack hits the entire screen (except for characters behind the rocks) and instantly kills anyone caught in it regardless of their hitpoints.

While most modern players know to upgrade your Gears and use Bart's Wild Smile to lower its accuracy, anyone who doesn't/didn't do this will have a very bad time. When chasing the battleship Dora after the Kislev Cliffs, do NOT engage every enemy you can. Doing so will drain Weltall's fuel as well of the two NPC companions, making the fight against the Dora itself this. The Tears enemy in Shevat's underground, if not taken out immediately and close together. Deus in Mahanon on Disc 2 in two ways: the first being the infamous glitch in almost all non-PSN versions, the second being if you don't pay attention to the mechanic and wait out your turns for it to sap its own HP. If you just hit him with everything you have from the beginning you will wipe. Similarly, Opiomorph/Miang: resist the temptation to pile on as much damage as soon as possible, because her attack is powered by yours. You have to build damage with triangle attacks, then time your usage of your strongest Hyper Mode Gear deathblows to the window right after she's fired off the attack powered by how much damage she's taken.

Total Party Kill / int_a7842bd4	comment	Curse of the Mutants: This happens very early during the event when Blade assembles a vampire hunter team to investigate the deaths of several colleagues around the world. They are given enough characterization and personality that they feel like their own characters. Then they are attacked completely off-guard by an vampire army in plain daylight, who proceeds to slaughter them nearly effortlessly. Blade is the Sole Survivor, and that is because he is presumed dead by the vampires when his plane crashes.

Total Party Kill / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy: The final floor of the Floating Fortress. WarMECH/Death Machine shows up thanks to the RNG not landing on the 63/64 chance of a standard encounter. WarMECH casts NUKE/Flare. Assuming you haven't been doing any hardcore grinding: "TRPR party perished." And unless you're playing a version that allows on-the-spot saving, back to the beginning of the Mirage Tower for you! Final Fantasy V has Neo Exdeath, who has not one, not two, but three methods of wiping out the entire party in one turn. Firstly, he has the ability to cast 'Almagest', a spell that inflicts the Sap status (constantly draining the party's health), and often casts 'Maelstrom' shortly after, which reduces the party's health to single digits. Of course, he can also cast them the other way round, which is just as deadly, as 'Almagest' deals around 1600 magic damage to the entire party. Secondly, he has the spell 'Grand Cross', which can inflict Death on the entire party. Or Petrify. Or Zombie. Or a combination of all three. Thirdly, he has the spell 'Meteor', which hits the party with four highly damaging meteors, with a random target being chosen for each one. As any of Neo Exdeath's parts is capable of casting Meteor once two parts have been destroyed, Neo Exdeath can potentally cast a Meteo + Almagest/Grand Cross 'wombo combo' at your party if you don't kill the parts that casts Almagest and Grand Cross first. Final Fantasy VI Advance had the bonus version of the Holy Dragon in the Dragon's Den, which can counter any attack with a chance at Heartless Angel, an unblockable move that sets everyone's HP to 1. Keep in mind that counters don't interrupt the boss's action gauge, so it can take a turn normally RIGHT AFTER, which means it can use Searing Beam, an equally unblockable group targeting holy-elemental move on everyone. Oh, and holy element is the hardest one to null in the game, with only one single equipment that requires painful amount of effort to obtain), and the Rage skill that can be used by two specific party members out of fourteen. If you're not prepared for it one way or another. The Superbosses of Final Fantasy VII have ways of accomplishing this. Emerald Weapon has an attack called Aire Tam Storm that does an unblockable 1111 HP of damage to every member of your party for each materia they had equipped. And since each character's HP maxes out at 9999, if you made the honest mistake of going into the fight with ten or more materia on each character, they get annihilated on the spot. Furthermore, the battle takes place with a twenty minute timer; if you didn't get the secret item to disable the countdown and the clock hits zero, the party automatically dies. Ruby WEAPON is even worse. The first thing he does is banish the two of the party members on the sides completely from the battle with no way to bring them back, then digs his fingers into the ground to surround the third person with Ruby WEAPON on one side and two towering finger-tentacles on the other side (both of which can inflict all of the status ailments). The only way to avoid losing the party members is to go into the battle with them KO'd and wait for Ruby to implant his fingers, then revive them. Also, if you use Knights of the Round on Ruby, he counterattacks with Ultima, hitting the entire party hard. Final Fantasy VIII: Junctioning 100 Death or Break spells to Attack-J allows you to OHKO any non-boss enemy susceptible to those spells. If Confuse is not junctioned to Status Defense, confused characters can easily destroy the entire party in a few turns. Multiple confused characters (say from Bad Breath or what have you) wielding 100 Death or Break spells in the Attack-J slot is a great example of this trope. Omega Weapon has an attack that hits ten times, each attack targeting a random party member and hitting for over 3000 HP. Needless to say, it's TPK unless you had the foresight to bring items that make you invincible, equip the Defend command and use it just before the attack, summon a GF to tank it, or get saved by Phoenix. Fighting Odin and the timer runs out? You're about to find out what it's like to be on the receiving end of Zantetsuken for once. Final Fantasy IX: It's possible to do this to yourself. Doomsday casts Darkness damage on everything on the field, both your party and the enemies, and being the most powerful spell in your arsenal, it's more than capable of wiping out your entire party along with the enemies. There are two ways around this: you can either merge the attack with Steiner's sword to focus it on a single enemy, or you can equip gear that will negate or absorb darkness spells to each of your party members. Ozma. If you're unlucky enough, Ozma may cast Meteor at the beginning of the battle, and it will kill your entire party before your first turn. Climbing up the vines within Gizamaluke's Grotto leads you to a part of the world map that contain monsters that are at least 50 levels above your party's levels and you won't actually see them on a regular basis until disc 3 or 4. You face off against dragons that can cast Thundaga on your party and wipe them out in one shot or cause the Venom status that immobilizes the victim and has their HP and MP slowly drain. The other kind of monster in the area are large birds that can cast Firaga and Stop on your party. You're given a fair warning by a Moogle in the area you're about to leave not to climb up due to the extremely deadly monsters at your supposed current low levelled party members, so continuing anyway puts the whole blame on you. You can have at least one party member survive Grand Dragon's commonly-used "Thundaga" attack by equipping a Coral Ring you can acquire by letting Freya win the Festival of the Hunt, but you'll still be weak against its hard-hitting Venom Claw melee attack as well said bird enemies' hard-hitting attacks, at which point you shouldn't have an effective piece of equipment at that point for said bird enemies, unlike the Grand Dragons. Final Fantasy X: There's a surprisingly low number of storyline bosses that have a one-shot party kill move. The Monster Arena, on the other hand... In there it's actually easier to list which ones don't have a one-hit party kill move. Thank God for Auto-Life. But then there's Th'uban in the Arena who likes to counterattack with a total status-remover, removing even Auto-Life. From your whole party. This counterattack might be a party kill unless you've trained a lot. One of the storyline bosses likes to Totally Annihilate your party with ONE move. But at least you get a fair warning before he unleashes the hurt. One storyline boss has a party-wide spell that inflicts the death status without warning. Fortunately, this is a multi-stage boss who only unleashes this attack in the final stage while earlier stages will inflict the "zombie" status ailment (which applies Revive Kills Zombie to player characters). In this case, the door swings both ways, and any character who still has the zombie effect on them will be immune to "death". It's possible to beat this boss without using that little trick, but it's much much harder. Your party can also be wiped out by a Great Malboro, not only if you're under-leveled, but as a result of being over-leveled (specifically in Evasion) and not protected from its immediate status effects. Having the whole party rendered confused, blind and poisoned results in an excruciatingly slow death as each member constantly successfully dodges the others' attacks, while slowly dying from the poison. It's possible that the Malboro will attack you and break confusion, giving you a chance to escape—but if you're not lucky, all you can do is sit there and watch, because there's literally nothing you can do about it. And Great Malboros always get to attack first, and always opens with Bad Breath. Most notably, there's Sin's Giga-Gravitron, which doesn't just wipe your party, but the entire airship that the party is on for a Non-Standard Game Over. Dark Aeons and Penance from No Export for You, resp. Updated Re-release versions. All their Overdrives are TPK unless you have Auto-Life or maximum possible HP... But even then, Dark Yojimbo's Zanmato and Dark Magus Sister's Delta Attack will still kill your party and both also dispel all buffs. Penance's Judgment Day does not dispel effects, but her arms will finish any revived members off, since she can perform that attack only if both of her arms are alive in the first place. Final Fantasy XII: Many, many, many bosses have abilities that can wipe out the entire party in one go if you don't know what you're doing. Unlike most games, however, FFXII expects you to deal with it by calling in the reserves (if they get wiped out before the main party is rezzed, well...I hope you enjoy the gentle ambiance of the Game Over screen). Unfortunately, not everyone remembers to train the reserves, since Leaked Experience in the game doesn't work that way. The most infamous instance of this trope is Zodiark, who has Darkja, an attack which not only does high magic damage to the entire party that cannot be avoided, but it also has a chance to inflict Instant Death. That doesn't sound so bad, except XII is one of the very few games in the series where this is no form of equipment that grants protection from One-Hit Kill attacks. Ergo, Zodiark has the potential to instantly kill off your entire active party regardless of their HP or level, and all you can do is cast the Shell protection spell to at least halve the insta-death chance. Final Fantasy XIII: Climax Boss Barthandelus and his Destrudo. If you don't do a certain (fairly low) amount of damage during the charge time, it's a guaranteed party wipe. Snow in the Coliseum DLC has a Tension gauge that builds up when he attacks the same target consecutively. Let it reach 500% and he'll wipe the party with Sovereign Fist. Final Fantasy XIV: Multiple bosses are capable of unleashing total party kills if specific requirements aren't met. Some examples being Ultima Weapon, Ultima Beast and Odin who will charge their ultimate attacks (Ultima, Demi-Ultima and Zantetsuken respectively) when low on HP and must be defeated before they can use them. Midgardsormr will attempt two during the battle against him and a shield must be erected with the correct timing to block it. All primals ultimates will also cause a total party kill unless the correct requirements are met. A few enemies whose ultimate attack became possible to survive due to new gear will proceed to spam their ultimate until no one is left standing. Many bosses in late game content, particularly in the expansions, have attacks that take time to charge up, necessitating the players to accomplish certain tasks (more often than not killing all of the mooks present) before the attack finishes charging, or else get wiped. You don't even need a boss for a wipe in some dungeons - all that is required is an undergeared and overconfident tank (specifically, one trying to wall to wall pull before they have the gear and skills for doing so - most tanks under level 60 and 150-200+ ilvl should not even be trying anything beyond double pulls with very few exceptions), a DPS that charges ahead and overpulls more than the tank and healer can handle, or an undergeared or underperforming healer. Specifically bad dungeons for this tend to the the ones at the beginnings and ends of level tiers/with difficulty spikes or new mechanics and no higher ilvl requirement demanding upgrade before queuing. Haukke Manor is probably the first in ARR: it's one of the first level 30-35 duties, meaning tanks who have been coasting on their low ilvl or who haven't made the necessary vendor visit can roll up severely undergeared. Unfortunately, it's also before any healer gets effective partywide heals or regenerating heals. Combine this with overconfidence and the first introductions of boss fight and pull mechanics (AOEs that actually hit hard/cause status effects, the void lamps on the final boss) and that many players are truly new sprouts doing it for the very first time rather than leveling a new job. Luring traps in Palace of the Dead and Heaven-On-High are often almost guaranteed party wipes if hit during a pull or in later levels, unless the party has a fully-leveled 90/90 aetherpool tank and either/both a white mage with Holy or a machinist with Spread Shot. If the party is lacking any of the above - the only other ideal option is to pop a Pomander of Witching and hope for the best as whatever party you do have tries to cut down the numbers.

Said dragon would have wiped them all if not for Falin's sacrifice to distract the monster and cast a teleportation spell on the rest of the party. Prevented again by Falin shortly after she was resurrected. Senshi accidentally detonated the Red Dragon's fuel sacs, and Falin's quick reflexes and new-found powers saved the party yet again. Subverted when the party fights the Lunatic Magician. She defeats Laios's party and throws them into a pitfall trap; however, they are rescued before the trap crushes them. This happens twice to Kabru's party, first after being paralyzed by treasure bugs (venomous insects that resemble coins and jewels), and secondly after being killed by a pack of mermen, showing their utter inexperience fighting monsters versus Laios' party. They're ready to give up after that, since they used up most of their money paying the people that revive them.

The game only ends once all player tanks are dead and have yet to respawn. This trope comes into play once the Havanski Atomic Bomber appears—it drops A-bombs that will destroy every player on the screen regardless of shielding should one of them even touch the ground before being destroyed.

The survivors flee to Mexico where they end up taking on an entire army garrison fully aware that they will probably not make it out alive. They don't. The bounty hunters chasing them are so thrilled to grab the bodies for the bounties that they ride right into a rebel ambush and are wiped out.

A normal battle with these guys is a guaranteed Total Party Kill. Two of them, R7037 and R7038XX, can only be defeated in specific ways by borrowing a guy's tank (which breaks right after, oops) and the Heroic Sacrifice of your Robot Buddy EVE respectively. The middle of these, the R7038, can't be defeated at all and will always wipe out your party. (People have hacked the game to discover that even if you somehow manage to lower its HP to 0, it still won't be defeated.) However, right after the party is wiped out, a friend of yours will appear in the newly rebuilt tank that was used to defeat the R7037 and obliterate it. EarthBound (1994) has the spell PK Flash, which can cause various status effects. It hits everyone, and the higher levels have instant death as a possible result. It's rather unlikely, but your entire party can be instantly killed by a monster casting this spell if the Random Number God hates you enough.

Total Party Kill / int_e5c5bc22	comment	Can potentially happen fairly easily in GURPS due to its general emphasis on "realism". Characters (of the human persuasion, at least) don't have many hit points, weapons can do sizable amounts of damage relative to HP totals, simply getting hurt at all brings various temporary penalties with it that make it easier for an enemy to slip another hit in before the character recovers, and while dropping to zero hit points only risks unconsciousness instead of death (rolls for that only start at fully negative HP), an unconscious character is still out of the fight and makes taking out the rest of the group as well that much easier.

Total Party Kill / int_e5de447c	comment	In X-COM and similar strategic/tactical games, a single berserked or mind-controlled agent with explosive weaponry can easily result in this, whether because everyone got blown up, or because of the spiral of panicking and berserking that results. Also, Chryssalids (and Tentaculats in the sequel Terror From the Deep) transform your teammates into zombies with just a single bite, and when the zombies are killed their infested corpses hatch another Chryssalid! In this way your whole team can be wiped out as an effective fighting force in just one or two turns. There's also the much-dreaded 'grenade thrown into the Skyranger on first turn'. XCOM: Enemy Unknown has a special term for this occurrence: "Code Black". It is displayed prominently in the mission debriefing if the entire squad you sent perishes on it.

Total Party Kill / int_eb6719f6	comment	Final Fantasy VIII: Junctioning 100 Death or Break spells to Attack-J allows you to OHKO any non-boss enemy susceptible to those spells. If Confuse is not junctioned to Status Defense, confused characters can easily destroy the entire party in a few turns. Multiple confused characters (say from Bad Breath or what have you) wielding 100 Death or Break spells in the Attack-J slot is a great example of this trope. Omega Weapon has an attack that hits ten times, each attack targeting a random party member and hitting for over 3000 HP. Needless to say, it's TPK unless you had the foresight to bring items that make you invincible, equip the Defend command and use it just before the attack, summon a GF to tank it, or get saved by Phoenix. Fighting Odin and the timer runs out? You're about to find out what it's like to be on the receiving end of Zantetsuken for once.

Total Party Kill / int_ec28245c	comment	Very nearly averted early in Dragon Ball Z against Nappa. From a gaming perspective, the entire party didn't even make it to the main enemy, instead getting stomped by an Elite Mook. This was before that particular set of characters descended into Redshirt Army status, back when their strong characterization and comparatively superhuman abilities made them very much fan-favorite secondary characters. In fact, this complete and utter defeat (and their subsequent absence from the next arc, which ended up taking more than half of the anime's airtime) is partly what caused their descent into Redshirt Army status.

Total Party Kill / int_fd8ef85e	comment	Left 4 Dead: This is the point in VS mode in both games, where the zombie players' objective is to kill all the survivor players. The trope also occurs if there is a player who is Too Dumb to Live or is a Leeroy Jenkins and causes the whole team to be killed due to his stupidity. Or worse, a Griefer. Normally, when playing single player, if your character dies, it's Game Over, no matter how many bots are left, as Valve presumed the player wants to play the game and not be relegated to a "watcher" role. It made sense for some, but others weren't content with it, and those others coded a number of Game Mods that allow the bots to proceed (and possibly rescue the player survivor from a closet), and just like in multiplayer, the only way to restart the current scenario is for the whole survivor quartet to end up incapped or dead.
