The placement of a boss arena underwater can radically change a boss battle and how it plays out. The Oxygen Meter can often be a big problem if your character needs to breathe. Even if your character can somehow breathe underwater or doesn't need to breathe at all, movement is often a lot trickier. In these cases, the boss is typically an aquatic creature that cannot survive on land. Common forms for these bosses include giant fishes, octopi, crabs, and assorted Sea Monsters, as well as enemies in submarines and other aquatic vehicles. Subtrope of Boss Battle. This is very commonly found Under the Sea. Compare Waterfront Boss Battle, for battles that take place above a body of water instead of underwater. Examples |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Lakebed Temple features one, naturally enough. The first phase is on the floor of the deepest point of the dungeon, fought against the tentacles of the boss that emerge from the and. In the second phase, it emerges from the sand and starts swimming around, pulling you into its maw with a whirlpool if you get too close. The key to beating it is to hookshot yourself to the eye on its back and stab away. One of Zant's boss phases teleports you back down there, where he hides in one of three enormous copies of his helmet. |

Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City: Since the entirety of Undersea Grotto (the second stratum) takes place beneath the ocean of Armoroad, the resident main boss (Ketos, a sacred whale) is accordingly challenged this way. The player's characters have Super Not-Drowning Skills, so the difficulty of the battle is based on the variety of attacks Ketos can use (including a party-wide attack that can cause strong damage but has low accuracy). There's also Anemone, a Superboss who resides in Undersea Grotto as well, albeit in a hidden area only accessible after accepting a postgame sidequest. Ketos returns in Etrian Odyssey Nexus, fought once again on the same stratum. | |

World of Warcraft: Maws is a giant shark is summoned out in the sea. The raid composition determines whether he's fought at the water's surface or underneath. The Lurker Below, the second boss of Serpentshrine Cavern. While he's mostly fought on platforms (due to the fact that the water is hot and deals damage over time while you're in it), you're forced to go underwater every so often in order to avoid his Spout attack, which will knock you 100+ yards away into the boiling water, probably causing your death as you try and swim back to the platform. Post buff and pre nerf a dedicated Shadowpriest could keep its section of a raid alive and underwater the entire fight thanks to Vampiric Embrace shenanigans. |

Kero Blaster: Dekaigyo the giant fish is fought in a half-underwater arena. Going underwater to attack it is faster than staying above, but it's also much harder to dodge while swimming. Puddie, the Train Station mid-boss, is entirely underwater. However, when it's fought in Zangyou Mode, it's in a dry room, and the fight changes to accommodate that. |

New Super Mario Bros. Wii: The second battle against Wendy O. Koopa. The basic gist is that Kamek has submerged the arena; considering that you can't stomp on enemies underwater, you have to hold out until the water level becomes low enough for you to jump on Wendy. A similar battle occurs in New Super Mario Bros. 2, implying this trope to be Wendy's arena of choice. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Angler Fish, the boss of the fourth dungeon, is an underwater sidescrolling boss. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: The second part of the fight against Gyorg, in the 3DS remake, plays entirely underwater. In the original version, Link only has to enter the water when the boss is stunned in order to inflict damage onto it. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages has two. The first of which is Octogon of the sixth dungeon, Mermaid's Cave, where after doing damage to it on dry land, it submerges underwater and you must give chase with the Mermaid Suit to damage him. The second is Plasmarine of the seventh dungeon, Jabu-Jabu's Belly, where his battle takes place entirely underwater after the water level reaches its maximum point, and you have to maintain a safe distance from it and use the Switch Hook to trade places with it when it fires a ball of lightning at you, causing it to be hit by its own attack. The Angler Fish returns to serve as the mid-boss of the latter dungeon, although even though the background suggests that you're underwater you control Link as if you were on land. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Lakebed Temple features one, naturally enough. The first phase is on the floor of the deepest point of the dungeon, fought against the tentacles of the boss that emerge from the and. In the second phase, it emerges from the sand and starts swimming around, pulling you into its maw with a whirlpool if you get too close. The key to beating it is to hookshot yourself to the eye on its back and stab away. One of Zant's boss phases teleports you back down there, where he hides in one of three enormous copies of his helmet. |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Land: Dragonzamasu is a large seahorse that guards the end of World 2-3, which takes place underwater. Mario doesn't fight it while swimming on his own, but while driving the Marine Pop. Super Mario Sunshine: Eely-Mouth, which is fought in the deepest waters of Noki Bay in Episode 4. Mario has to clean its teeth while shooting water onto them (since Mario is already underwater, what FLUDD's water is doing is effectively brushing the teeth). Toxic bubbles come out of the giant eel's mouth, and will drastically reduce Mario's Oxygen Meter if touched; however, if they're shot with FLUDD's water, they'll be purified and will actually restore oxygen upon contact. Super Mario Galaxy: The battle against Kingfin, a huge skeletal shark, takes place inside the waters of an aquatic planet in Bonefin Galaxy. Mario has to throw Koopa Troopa shells at it while avoiding the Skeletal Fish Guards that home at him like Torpedo Teds do (and collecting air bubbles to keep his Oxygen Meter full). New Super Mario Bros. Wii: The second battle against Wendy O. Koopa. The basic gist is that Kamek has submerged the arena; considering that you can't stomp on enemies underwater, you have to hold out until the water level becomes low enough for you to jump on Wendy.

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy V has the optional battle against Gogo, who is fought in the now-submerged ruins of Walse Tower. The drowning timer from the dungeon continues during the fight, which the player needs to be mindful of since the party still needs go back the way they came to get out. Final Fantasy VII has Emerald WEAPON, a Superboss who hangs out at the bottom of the sea. And you don't even fight him in your submarine. There's also a couple of underwater (though air-containing) areas. Final Fantasy X: Sinspawn Echuilles, Geosgaeno and Evrae Altana. Shinryu, one of Final Fantasy's two recurring Optional Bosses, is an Underground Monkey of Evrae Altana. All of these battles restrict you to the only three party membersnote in Echuilles' case, only two, since the third hasn't joined your group yet at that point who can fight underwater: two blitzball players and one salvager. |

Sonic the Hedgehog CD: The Tidal Tempest fight against Eggman's Eggmobile, where Eggman thoughtfully surrounds himself with bubbles that Sonic can breathe through. Sonic Blast: The fight against Robotnik's submarine in Blue Marine Zone. In order to get more air, Sonic or Knuckles must trick Robotnik into firing a harpoon at the ocean floor so an air bubble will appear from it. Sonic Rush: The Water Palace with Eggman's Egg Turtle is an example where you actually can't drown, though occasionally the water level will drop. |

Super Mario Sunshine: Eely-Mouth, which is fought in the deepest waters of Noki Bay in Episode 4. Mario has to clean its teeth while shooting water onto them (since Mario is already underwater, what FLUDD's water is doing is effectively brushing the teeth). Toxic bubbles come out of the giant eel's mouth, and will drastically reduce Mario's Oxygen Meter if touched; however, if they're shot with FLUDD's water, they'll be purified and will actually restore oxygen upon contact. | |

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: Alpha Blogg is a large creature with a massive jaw located in Torvus Bog, specifically in the flooded jail of the Hydrochamber. After Samus acquires the Gravity Boost, which allows her to move and hover underwater more fluidly, the jail will open and the monster will start attacking her, thus forcing the battle between the two. The jaw is the weak point. | |

Final Fantasy X: Sinspawn Echuilles, Geosgaeno and Evrae Altana. Shinryu, one of Final Fantasy's two recurring Optional Bosses, is an Underground Monkey of Evrae Altana. All of these battles restrict you to the only three party membersnote in Echuilles' case, only two, since the third hasn't joined your group yet at that point who can fight underwater: two blitzball players and one salvager. | |

Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) is the first game in the series to add underwater fighting, and thus underwater boss fights. The final boss Ceadeus, the cause of the earthquakes, has no way to get onto land and is a giant, mobile monster on terms with the Jhen Mohran. The fight against it will only be under water, there is no active land to go on to, but there are some set up weapons to use against it. In 3 Ultimate, Goldbeard Ceadeus is fought the same way, as well as Abyssal Lagiacrus, the game's final monster, fought in the same area. Fortunately, your Oxygen Meter is quite generous and can be refilled or extended in many different ways, or outright rendered a non-issue with the right skill points. Many underwater-capable bosses reappear in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and Monster Hunter Generations. Since neither of these games have underwater mechanics, these bosses are fought on land, averting this trope. | |
