Wake-Up Call Boss	comment	The Wake-Up Call Boss is more or less a boss that marks a massive Difficulty Spike, or at least the point where the game stops going easy on you. At this point, everything you've learned but haven't really considered yet will be severely tested: Everything before was just getting you used to the controls, this is where the true challenge begins. Due to this, they usually appear early on, but can appear from early to early-mid game. They definitely shouldn't appear late. And it's not really That One Boss so much as it's very brutally drilling into you how to play: like a boss in a beat-em-up designed to very easily beat anyone who thinks they can button mash through the game, or a boss in a Role-Playing Game designed to beat players who just spam their most powerful attacks with no regard to strategy. Sister Trope to Early-Bird Boss, a version of this that relies on the player's lack of key items, spells, or meta-knowledge early in the game to provide a challenge. Compare with That One Boss, though this trope is specifically for bosses that appear early in the game and are merely a sample of the rest of the game's challenges. Also compare with Disappointing Last Level and Early Game Hell (for when not just the first or second boss is difficult, but also the early levels/chapters are as well). Contrast with Warm-Up Boss, a first boss that frequently is impossible (or at least very hard) to lose to. See also Hopeless Boss Fight and Final Boss Preview. Compare Skill Gate Characters, which are PvP characters/factions/whatever that serve a similar purpose in separating newbies from the experienced, and the Noob Bridge, which is another game element that tests whether you understand how the game works. Compare the non-video game terms Threshold Guardians and Wake-Up Call.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_16c83de8	comment	Star Fox 64, if you go to Fortuna, has the first encounter with the Star Wolf Team. Up until then, if you haven't become used to All-Range Mode, or if you tend to dilly-dally when your teammates need help, you'll be frantically spinning plates trying to keep yourself from getting shot and keeping your teammates from being shot down while chasing these blips that keep whirling around in circles on your radar. Also, if you rely on homing charged shots instead of actually getting good at aiming, you will fail because the enemies are nearly immune to charged shots. You either learn to be fast and decisive when fighting, especially in All-Range Mode, or you die...or more embarrassingly, fail the Timed Mission part of the level. Which is also the boss encounter. And up until then, the worst thing that happens if you stall in a boss fight is that you don't get that many points!

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_16d421c1	comment	Super Heroine Chronicle has the dreaded stage 28 where you fight off Riko Lupin and Jeanne d'Arc the 30th and their army of Mooks. Up until then, you usually would use characters who are very powerful and are comfortable using for the past 27 stages (and some players may even invest in leveling Claude to 99 in the process). Not so in stage 28 where you're forced to use characters that, chances are, you've never used before. Fortunately, the Free Stages are available at the menu though now you have to waste time and level up characters who you've never used before. And it never lets up after this stage where you're now forced to level up characters evenly just to keep up with enemies.

Blowing off its parts, which normally weakens bosses, only serves to make it harder and more evasive. However, if the player is doing horribly, you can actually skip the entire boss fight.

ZEXAL was the first person in the series to not only have full control of their senses while controlling a Number, but to also have more than one, plus have a monster that can take down Xyz monsters easily. Yuma & Astral lost to him when the first meet him, only surviving due to a fluke. He's the first person to show that other people are after the Numbers as well, which becomes the crux of the whole series after that.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: The point where the manga and anime changed from Ichigo fulfilling Rukia's duties while he was borrowing her power, to a darker series dealing with the consequences of her lending him her power was the moment when Byakuya and Renji entered Karakura Town. Renji easily defeated Uryuu, followed by Ichigo and then dropped his guard giving Ichigo a chance to win. And then Byakuya ended the fight so fast Ichigo couldn't even see the blow that felled him. The entire Soul Society Arc turned out to be nothing more than a warm up. Ichigo and his companions went through hell and high water to defeat the shinigami, rescue Rukia and almost dying in the process. Even Byakuya was finally defeated in the climactic battle that ended the threat to Rukia... and then Aizen revealed he was the Big Bad and that all the skills Ichigo had learned to that point were just a foundation for the true threats that were yet to come. The true conflict, which had been slowly unfolding with the introductions of Uryuu and Byakuya was now kicked off in earnest.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_1cc11947	comment	The first boss of Descent I and the third of Descent II. Both launch instant-death Macross Missile Massacres, the former using Smart Missiles, the latter using Mega Missiles and a Phoenix Cannon, and like all bosses, randomly teleport, often directly in your face, launching a barrage just as they re-materialize. At least in Descent II you have more hiding places, but that game ups the stakes by giving the boss immunity to all energy weapons.

Then he runs into Kaori Kanzaki, who is a Saint whose physical abilities and swordsmanship are just so much greater than his that she doesn't need to use any supernatural powers to beat him down, and she takes the one punch he does land on her without too much issue.

His henchmen shoot fast, he is very fast too and just to surprise the player/s he will JUMP into their zone and shoot at them while ducking. Way different from Simon Greedwell who just stood there taking shots, Hank moves around like crazy. The first of Sir Richard Rose's henchmen, El Greco. He actively blocks the player/players's shots, only whipping when he's not hiding behind his shield, and said whip has a lot of range. Players who thought they could get by just filling the screen with bullets usually end up losing a fair few quarters to this guy.

He's there to teach you that doing more damage isn't everything, if you don't take the precautions necessary to defeat him before going after him, you will get your party killed.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_2192aeb3	comment	It's practically a Fire Emblem tradition that after six to ten chapters of relatively easy bosses, you encounter a promoted boss who is much harder than any you've previously encountered; said boss is normally a General or a similar melee class, and often has a fairly high commanding rank among his nation. Chapter 4 of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 is a Wake Up Call Level. The first few chapters are your standard FE fare where you get to kill a few bandits and storm a castle. Then in chapter 4 you start out with a new party out of which 4/5 of your members are locked in a cell and don't have any equipment at all save for everything Leif and Lifis brought with them but these are locked in chests all while one or two Soldiers come as reinforcements every turn. It's there to show that yes, this game will put you in sticky and disadvantageous situations like these often. The boss of Chapter 8x of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Gomes, also counts. While previous levels gave you some means of dealing with threats (running away, Eyvel, Weapon of X-Slaying etc), Chapter 8x pits you against a throne boss with terrifying stats for this part of the game who you can't avoid because he blocks the seize point. Gomes has 18 Strength and two steel weapons, which will one-shot your squishier units, as well as 14 speed (and enough Constitution to not be weighed down) which prevents you from doubling him without Level Grinding your physical units since your only magic user, Asbel, is one point too slow to doublenote With capped speed and Grafcalibur, the lightest tome available up to this point, Asbel hits 17 speed after being weighed down, which is exactly 1 point away from doubling Gomes. Had Wind (which is lighter) been available, Asbel would've been able to double. His high HP and Defense with throne boosts makes physical attacks a no-go, and even though his Magic isn't great, he'll still one-round anyone who tries. A lot of creativity and luck will have to go in taking this guy down. Although it is much more difficult all-around compared to the other two GBA games in the series, the first few bosses in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade are generally pretty easy—until you get to Leygance, who is your first promoted boss, a General. Being a General gives him such ludicrously high Defense that very few of your units can do much damage to him unless they're using anti-armor weapons (and the Rapier isn't going to cut it). It's common for players to promote Rutger during that chapter so that Rutger can become a Swordmaster and hopefully crit Leygance to death, as it's one of the few ways to beat him in a timely fashion. The boss right after him, Henning, is a Hero, which is in some ways even worse: though not as absurdly tanky, Henning is much faster, meaning that now the cast of characters who can hit him accurately and double him is basically just, again, a promoted Rutger. (There's a very good reason fans consider Rutger the best Myrmidon in the series.) Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon's highest difficulty, Merciless, notably eases up somewhat on you during the first chapter, with the enemy getting less stats than they otherwise would, putting the boss, Gazzak, in the "tough but still manageable" category (particularly when accounting for his lack of ranged weapons). And then you get to the second chapter, and meet Gomer—the terrifying intersection of this trope and Early-Bird Boss. While barely a threat on Normal, Merciless Gomer is arguably the hardest boss in the whole game—he can either double or one-shot every character you have at their base level except Ogma, Cord, and Barst, at a point in the game where you're lucky if anyone has gained more than one or two levels (Jagen can sometimes avoid doubling, since Gomer's Speed is a little variable, but if he isn't, he's pretty screwed). And of that crew, only Ogma has a serviceable hit rate on him, and none can survive a second round of combat. And most bosses in the game can be trivialized by using a Weapon of X-Slaying, such as a Hammer against a Knight or a Ridersbane against a Paladin, but Gomer is a Pirate, and anti-Pirate weapons don't exist. You also have very limited healing to work with, and Gomer has enough range and power to one-shot the one healer you do have. And unlike Gazzak, Gomer has a handaxe, which hits at range and means poking him to death with your bow-users and javelins doesn't work either. The boss of the chapter after that, Hyman, is even stronger than Gomer, but at least you have a Killing Edge to work with by that point; the only foolproof way to kill Gomer is to abuse Breakable Weapons and the healing effects of the nearby forts so you can break his handaxe, which takes forever. Fire Emblem: Awakening: Prologue boss Garrick on Lunatic mode. As if surviving the merciless enemies in the chapter didn't drive the point home, he serves to teach you that you better have some strategy, fully healed units, and pair them up when you take on enemies and bosses alike, or else you will get slaughtered! A Wake-Up Mook appears in the very next chapter on Lunatic: a Fighter with a Hammer. Your Crutch Character Frederick, whom you had to lean on just to make it through the Prologue, is weak to that weapon and will either take massive damage or die if he hits, proving the importance of using Frederick wisely. (On Lunatic+, it's possible this Mook will randomly obtain combinations of skills that render the chapter Unwinnable!) Masked Marth actually serves as this. On the higher difficulties, his stats are considerably higher than anything you've fought so far, he moves, unlike most bosses, and the cheap tactic of wearing out the boss' weapons won't work because his Falchion has infinite uses just like Chrom's. (And unlike Chrom, he can use to heal himself, too!) If you haven't learned how to effectively use the Pair Up system, Marth will walk all over you. Fire Emblem Fates: Chapter 10 of Birthright/Chapter 11 of Revelation has Kotaro, both times using the same map: In Birthright, he's equipped with a Dual Shuriken. Axes and Bows beat knives....but wait, why are you shown to be at at disadvantage? If you read the description, then you learn that it INVERTS THE WEAPON TRIANGLE AND DOUBLES THE EFFECT, meaning that the Bow/Axe user you just sent to engage him is asking to die. The fact that he's a promoted unit with a high AVO makes this all the better. In Revelation he is even worse. He was smart enough to ditch the Dual Shuriken because it made him pitifully weak vs Swords. Instead, he came with both a steel shuriken and a steel katana, meaning that you have to look twice at their inventory before attacking. Getting to him is even harder since there are other promoted units besides him this time, and they won't make it easy getting to him. Fire Emblem Gaiden: The Boss in Mook Clothing mercenary with a leather shield. This enemy teaches you to be ready to use magic since some enemies with high defence will reduce your most powerful attacks to Scratch Damage. Berkut at the beginning of Act IV of Echoes. The gloves are off, so you better start making sure Alm's army is ready to face the might of the Rigellian Army since even standard Mooks are now promoted. The first battle of Archanea Seaway sets the mood for the postgame, featuring much much more powerful enemies. Fire Emblem: Three Houses has the battle in Chapter 5 against Miklan and his gang of thieves. While it looks like a normal boss battle with the exception of Miklan wielding a legendary weapon (that causes lots of damage to him when you engage in combat because he lacks the Crest to wield it properly), things get dicey when you defeat him and the Relic transforms him into a Demonic Beast, with a pop-up tutorial before the second phase of the battle to show the player how fighting monsters is much different from dealing with humanoid enemies. Monsters have armor that causes them to take half damage (among other effects) until it's broken, multiple life bars, new abilities that they gain after each life bar is depleted and area of effect attacks. Fire Emblem Engage Abyme, the boss of Chapter 3, is the first armored unit to be faced. Her status as an armored unit not only means she has high defense, but she can't be broken(thus preventing her from counterattacking on that combat or the next one). The only viable options for damaging her are Emblem Marth's Rapier (which won't work on her in Maddening) or Clanne's magic(since armored units have high defense but low resistance). Most of the early stages are fairly straightforward, even when you have your first encounter with bosses with Multiple Life Bars in Chapter 5. The first sign of things getting serious comes in Chapter 7, "Dark Emblem", where you have to plan around your enemies being able to wield Emblem rings, too. Hortensia carries Lucina's Emblem ring, which gives her a special attack that allows all allies in range to execute a Chain Attack, and her retainers, Goldmary and Rosado, have special abilities that lower the combat effectiveness of your male units.

And then they meet the vampire Topher, who easily manipulates Nico and Karolina (the two most powerful Runaways at that point) into fighting each other, and then proves to be a hard bastard to defeat, and the only reason they survive is because he tries to drink Karolina's blood, which turns out to be loaded with solar radiation. It leaves them all badly demoralized at a time when the Pride are closing in on them.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_26333bd5	comment	Kirby's Adventure has Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright. Up to this point, both of the bosses you've fought (Whispy Woods and Paint Roller) have been easy-to-hit targets that use only one attack at a time, and their attacks are either easily dodged, highly telegraphed, or both. Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright, however, are a Dual Boss: one will stay on the ground and fight Kirby head-on, while the other performs an attack from the sky, making their attacks much more difficult to dodge. While their attacks are still telegraphed, they're much faster than the previous bosses', and will require you to pay more attention to what they're doing. The fight is a lot harder without a copy ability, encouraging the player to experiment with different abilities if they're having trouble with a boss.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_27de0e03	comment	Symphony of War: Chapter 9 takes off the training wheels by introducing Gunners. Prior to their debut, the basic strategy is a tank wall of heavy troops in front with priestesses in the back, but Gunners have an Armor-Piercing Attack and armor tanking won't work against them. To counter them, you'll need to include a mix of troops in your army, such as light cavalry and archers. Once you get your Nephilim powers, try them out and learn how to use them. There will be a test soon, in the form of the Gaiden Quests. In a couple of these, brute force ain't gonna cut it; you'll need the enhanced mobility and ability to Draw Aggro that the Nephilim's powers give you.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_28438266	comment	Wario Land: Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3: The spiked Koopa boss — the very first boss in the game — comes under this. Not only is he a generally tough boss with multiple attacks and overpowering attack methods, but he just happens to also be the most difficult boss in the entire game (that includes the final boss as well). Only adding to this is the that the boss cannot be fought the way Mario fights koopas. The fire power up is a liability since the lack of a dash button means you have reduced Wario's speed and deprived him of an effective frontal attack. Even with running available Wario cannot adjust his speed in air and has to commit to his maximum jump height before leaving the ground, so the timing is still completely different from, say, a Koopaling. The fact that the level was aggravating didn't help things either. Wario Land 4: Depending on the mode you're playing, the first boss is either pitifully easy or this. Super Hard mode is the main offender — you have 15 seconds to defeat it.

The boss, Teacher Bun Bun, isn't a weak Mighty Glacier like the bosses of the first two Moon stages â€” he's a Lightning Bruiser with massive HP and powerful and fast attacks, and comes with a Zerg Rush of support enemies to take hits for him and punish advancing cats. If the player doesn't have most of the Treasures, or just mindlessly spams cats, Bun Bun will easily push to their base and destroy it. Beating him requires the player to farm for most of the Treasures, have a strategy, and defend their long-ranged cats well â€” which is true of most bosses later in the game, as well.

Then comes Stardog, who likes cards that come with a fair degree of health for their loose tier, plus lots of cards with healing and support abilities. Nothing too eccentric...but THEN comes Corporal Krak, who stacks up cards that spawn packs of units along with a ''very'' squishy signature unit that self-destructs when killed, dealing damage...oh yeah, and it comes in hordes, all tactics you've likely never seen before by that point. Unless you learn how to organize your deployment order, buffs and deck construction to counter holes in an opponent's deck organization, you'll be dribbling out units desperately trying to plug holes in the deluge thrown at you from the other side of the screen and never get the opportunity to recover. And then the next guy in line uses the exact same tactic you're likely to use to get past Krak, which you've also never needed to learn to properly counter up until that point.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_2c5b6cb8	comment	Warframe One of the first boss fights you'll encounter is the Jackal on Venus. This robot has an attack which summons four energy walls that rotate around it; touching the walls will take out most of your health, but you can avoid them by staying on the move and reacting when they change direction. This teaches you the importance of mobility. This fight also introduces you to your Parazon dagger, which can be used to perform a Finishing Move on low-health enemies; you have to use your Parazon multiple times throughout the fight to stop the Jackal from repairing itself. During the quest "The Second Dream", you'll encounter a Conculyst or Battalyst (the game chooses one at random), which is the first Sentient-type enemy the player will encounter. What makes it this trope? Besides having access to some very high damaging attacks, they also adapt to any damage inflicted on them, making them take up to ninety percent less damage from any damage type used against them. Worst of all? This "boss" is a mook, and you will be fighting more later, which are just as strong as it is, if not even tougher. Before travelling to a new planet, you have to defeat a Specter, a ghostly clone of a Warframe. The Saryn Specter, who guards the Sedna Junction, is a huge Difficulty Spike compared to past ones: most Specters can be cheesed by using a stun or blind ability, then doing a Back Stab while they're incapacitated. This is much harder to do on the Saryn Specter due to her Molt ability letting her remove status effects. The most reliable way to kill her is just to have a good weapon that's been upgraded with strong mods.

Every boss after him ups the ante in some way, making him serve as a test of whether or not the player has what it takes to make it to the end. For the plane levels, we have Wally Warbles. Hilda Berg mostly serves to get you used to the plane controls and her projectiles are fairly sparse, and Djimmy mostly avoids filling the screen with hazards until his last phase, but Wally is the first plane boss to utilize Bullet Hell from the outset and demands complete competency with the plane's entire moveset to beat. It doesn't help that every plane boss after him is a candidate for That One Boss, either.

On a strictly emotional level, Shou Tucker. The Elric brothers realize the kind of cruelty and evil that alchemists are capable of after meeting him, and the Heroic BSoD Ed has after Nina's death is partly what leads to him almost getting killed by Scar. Most of the enemies before then were just power-hungry bullies with delusions of grandeur, but Tucker represents something more insidious, since he appears friendly and reasonable at first, but ultimately shows what happens when alchemy is used to overstep the bounds of nature, and gives Ed and Al a nasty and uncomfortable reminder of their own mistakes, despite theirs being well-intentioned, unlike Tucker's. It's something of a Wake Up Call Boss for the viewer too, since it's a glimpse at just how depressing the series can get, especially in the 2003 anime.

They only survive thanks to the timely intervention of Ruby's uncle Qrow, a far more experienced huntsman. Tyrian then goes on to fight Qrow to a standstill, evenly matching him in blows (apart from getting a small beatdown from Qrow when distracted), and inflicts an injury on Qrow courtesy of his scorpion stinger. He only loses when Ruby inflicts a devastating handicap of her own courtesy of lopping off his stinger with Crescent Rose, forcing him to retreat.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_36395288	comment	Kirby: Kracko tends to be this whenever he shows up, as he's surprisingly mobile for a cloud and tricky to hit with projectiles as he tends to hover just out of range. Later games in the series tend to give him even more moves that make him even more of a chore to deal with. Kirby's Adventure has Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright. Up to this point, both of the bosses you've fought (Whispy Woods and Paint Roller) have been easy-to-hit targets that use only one attack at a time, and their attacks are either easily dodged, highly telegraphed, or both. Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright, however, are a Dual Boss: one will stay on the ground and fight Kirby head-on, while the other performs an attack from the sky, making their attacks much more difficult to dodge. While their attacks are still telegraphed, they're much faster than the previous bosses', and will require you to pay more attention to what they're doing. The fight is a lot harder without a copy ability, encouraging the player to experiment with different abilities if they're having trouble with a boss. Kirby 64: The third boss, Acro, ends the streak of Warm Up Bosses. His fast movement and projectile output is made more of a problem by the iffy underwater controls, and the fact that you won't be used to his attacks at first (or at all) means that you'll get your power knocked out of you before long. On top of all this, he has a second phase...that scrolls. Kirby's Return to Dream Land: Goriath is the point where the game gets tougher. Unlike the previous three bosses, who had slow attacks and didn't move much, Goriath is much more agile, constantly jumping around the arena and even wall-clinging at times to do certain attacks, and most of his moves being fast, unpredictable, and being able to reach across the entire stage. The Magolor Epilogue in the Deluxe remake gives us Electricky Dooter, who basically fights like Mr. Dooter, but he has electrical powers, his attacks cover more range, and he even pulls out a large sword when he Turns Red. Kirby: Triple Deluxe has Flowery Woods. Don't let his resemblance to Whispy Woods fool you. He attacks in an incredibly aggressive fashion for the first boss of the game, and his second stage starts assaulting you with attacks that fill up the entire screen. Although he still won't pose too much trouble to a skilled gamer, he can still put up a surprising amount of fight. They get even more dangerous as Flowery Woods EX. And then there's Clanky Woods from Kirby: Planet Robobot. Like Flowery Woods above, this guy has also proven to be more of a challenge than most players would expect at level one, once again showing off some pretty devastating attacks that could really give you a hard time if you're not prepared. While Flowery at least had the decency to remain in one spot most of the time, Clanky, on the other hand, does not want to stand still. Oh, and did we mention that he also gets first crack at you in the very first stage of the game? You can still defeat him even that early on, and get a nice rare sticker in return, but it's arguably even more of a pain than his actual boss battle with how little room and time you have. It's also rather easy to get crushed to death there. So yeah, Kirby's enemies definitely aren't playing nice this time around. Parallel Woods from "Heroes in Another Dimension" in Kirby Star Allies. The Whispy Woods battle in Story Mode was just a Warm-Up Boss as usual, and even his stronger counterpart Yggy Woods was still manageable. But in this mode, if you haven't taken the increased puzzle complexity as a warning sign, then Parallel Woods' projectile spam will hammer in just how much the challenge has ramped up. Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Clawroline in the main game. The previous two bosses were mostly stationary and had quite sluggish attacks that can be easily avoided. But Clawroline, fitting for a cat character, is quick and agile, having super quick attacks that will really keep the player on their toes, as well as having strong close range attacks that will send Kirby flying. The post-game has Phantom Gorimondo; if you thought this was gonna be the same as the real Gorimondo, then you're in for a rude awakening when a ghostly illusion of a gargantuan gorilla begins going ape on you.

His sadism and nigh-invincibility are well established early on, so you know the inevitable fight to the finish will be no joke. Sure enough, he comes at you after a trek through a Molded-infested basement that's probably drained your ammo severely, attacking with a pair of enormous chainsaw shears that can kill you in only two or three solid hits. Your only real chance is to grab the other chainsaw and fight very defensively, blocking or dodging his attacks, stunning him by kicking a hanging body into him, and sneaking in a swipe or two before he recovers. It also doesn't help that your chainsaw tends to stall out at very inopportune moments, leaving you vulnerable while it revs back up...

Unlike most games, magic resistance is active rather than passive; you have to circulate prana through your circuits to wear away curses and effects. Since the [Worm Disciple] is a Flunky Boss that paralyzes players, if you don't know how to resist debuffs, you'll die quickly. Even more so is the actual Floor Boss, [Illfang the Kobold Lord]. In the beta, it was designed for a Total Party Kill to set the tone of the game. Now that it's turned into a death game that Kayaba is using to train people in real magic, it's a little different. Up until it Turns Red, the fight is mostly like a normal game; a small group of players engage the boss until its aggro changes, and everyone else can just stand around waiting. The point of its final phase is to force the players to treat it like a real fight using real-world rules.

Yamcha only did as well as he did because Goku was hungry in their first fight and Krillin has proven to be inferior to Goku. Then Goku fights Jackie Chun, who really pushes him to the physical breaking point, and the fight goes on for four hours. And Jackie won, handing Goku his first real defeat. In terms of life and death battles, the Red Ribbon Army introduces two of these. Goku easily defeats most of the titular Red Ribbon Army, including their early Androids and Elite ninja and fighters. Then he comes across General Blue, who is strong enough to defeat Krillin and hold his own against Goku. When Goku does prove himself stronger, Blue uses a powerful paralysis technique that allows him to very nearly kill Goku on three separate occasions. Later on, the Army hires Mercenary Tao, who takes out General Blue using nothing but his tongue, but first takes the time to No-Sell his special techniquenote Which is anime-only as in the manga, Tao instantly took Blue out with his tongue after dodging Blue's first and only kick. Then Tao fought Goku and not only beat him, but brings him to the brink of death. For Dragon Ball Z Raditz who also doubles as a Starter Villain. He took on both Goku and Piccolo and beat them to a pulp, showing that the fights on Earth are a kid's playground compared to the rest of the universe. Zarbon was the first enemy on Namek that Vegeta couldn't immediately overpower, even beating him within an inch of his life. The second was Recoome, a member of the Ginyu Force, who tanked everything Vegeta had to throw at him and nearly wiped out the Z-Fighters by his lonesome. Captain Ginyu was this to Goku after he arrived on Namek. After making complete fools of his subordinates, Ginyu was the first opponent to actually keep up with Goku, and though the Saiyan was able to exceed his power by using the Kaio-Ken, he was still unprepared for Ginyu's Body Change technique. Goku needed help from Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta (and some luck) to get his body back, and after that he was critically injured and had to spend the next several episodes/chapters recovering in a healing tank.

Then you get to the first boss, Dugog, the two-headed ogre. Not only is he significantly stronger than any other regular enemy you can face up this point, he sports a spell (Double Roar) which can easily erase all your hit points and a weapon that randomly does near-triple damage. And you face his early enough that skill alone often isn't enough to take him down.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_3cf15492	comment	The first three missions in MechWarrior 3 are relatively easy with the toughest enemy you face being a mech identical to yours, that being a 55-ton Bushwacker. Then mission 4 comes up and pits you against the first heavy mech of the game, a 75-ton Orion. Due to the fact that the Bushwhacker is not really a great mech and the rather weak weaponry you have this early in the game, if you have not mastered the art of "legging" (shooting out the leg of a mech to take it down quickly), the Orion will most likely tear you apart. They do it again in the next mission set, forcing you to defeat sizable foes (including several Thors) but always giving you a chance to engage enemies on your terms. And then for the mission finale you're forced into close combat with an Annihilator, a 100-ton kill-beast and bar none the most lethal close-range 'Mech in the game. It can and will kill you or one of your buddies with a single salvo. Learn to circle-strafe around it or die trying, Mechwarrior.

Not only is he a generally tough boss with multiple attacks and overpowering attack methods, but he just happens to also be the most difficult boss in the entire game (that includes the final boss as well). Only adding to this is the that the boss cannot be fought the way Mario fights koopas. The fire power up is a liability since the lack of a dash button means you have reduced Wario's speed and deprived him of an effective frontal attack. Even with running available Wario cannot adjust his speed in air and has to commit to his maximum jump height before leaving the ground, so the timing is still completely different from, say, a Koopaling. The fact that the level was aggravating didn't help things either.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_4d48667e	comment	Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: The second boss, Kleever, is this. He starts out fairly simply, shooting a couple fireballs at you and slowly chasing you down a line of hooks, but after you hit him three times, he sinks into the lava, faking death for about half a second before he bursts out, lunges at you, and proceeds to chase you across the hooks (now at several vertical levels) at a much quicker pace. And now he flies. Not That One Boss (especially not compared to, say, K. Rool himself), but still dangerous enough to cost you a few lives the first time you fight him. World 4 as a whole represents a Difficulty Spike in DKC2, but the boss, King Zing, drives the point home. Despite the fact that he's a mid-game boss, he represents an entirely different challenge than any boss in either the first or second Donkey Kong Country games. To wit, he's the first boss in the series that is fought as an Animal Buddy (namely, Squawks the Parrot; DKC3 would later have two bosses fought with Ellie the Elephant and Enguarde the Swordfish), let alone a buddy that had only been available for a few levels at this point, the only boss in the game that does not revolve around evading attacks until a convenient barrel or cannonball spawns, the first boss in the series that is invulnerable aside from one weak point (in this case, the stinger), and only the second boss in the series, second only to the K. Rool fight in the first game, that has multiple stages. While the second stage is decidedly easy, the first stage is highly irritating; hitting the weak point requires precision timing, aim, and positioning, as Hitbox Dissonance makes it difficult to hit the target while not crashing into Zing yourself. Worse, he becomes invulnerable every two hits and breaks his predictable flying pattern to chase the player while spewing an increasingly fast volley of spines in every direction. Fortunately, there's a Good Bad Bug that can allow the player to defeat the first stage without leaving the (mostly) safe corridor you start in, though this requires a good deal of patience.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_4e54d2da	comment	Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance: The fights aren't particularly difficult up until your first fight with General Bloodis about four stages in. Bloodis fights alone, which may seem like the easiest situation (most fights up to this point are about crowd control and avoiding being ganged up on from all sides), however his health is exceptionally high, way too high in fact for a regular unit. Furthermore, his stats are pretty potent. The thing that really screws you, however, is his evility and his overload. His evility makes it so any enemies within 2 panels are given only 1 movement, which is downright cruel and makes retreating with a weakened unit an absolute non-option. This makes strategizing moves so you don't accidentally beat the hell out of your own army in the crossfire a daunting task. Then there's his overload... all stats doubled for three turns. If you were scratch-damaging him before, be prepared to be one-shot per hit now while likely either missing or doing 0 damage. Taking Bloodis on comes down to learning how to use your specials and attacking from behind as much as possible, so be ready to have him test you on your mechanics knowledge. If you try to cheese this fight by using the strategy of grabbing him and then holding him (which results in your unit dying, but he couldn't do anything that turn since he had been lifted), you can't. One of his common evilities increases his stats in return for removing his ability to be lifted. When you face Majorita at the start of the post-game, you find yourself really sandwiched between an army of undead and Majorita's whopping level of 300. The final boss was only around 100, so this is a massive jump. Furthermore, even after you beat her, you still have 1 more fight with her at level 500 before you finish the starting chapter of the post-game. Have fun with the rest of it. Your only saving grace is that, unlike the main game, she doesn't have access to her overload, which quite frankly would only drag this fight out even moreso. Hope you learned how to use your overloads and maxed out some weapons. Cheesing her with the grab strategy isn't easy either, as her casting distance is so huge that it's hard to get close without a high-movement unit or being tossed straight to her. Bloodis returns in the post game to really show you how rough the land of carnage is going to be. Not only does he have his overload, not only does he have his evility, not only does he have multiple units with him, but he also magichanges with a bear to get an extremely strong fist weapon, has access to most of the fist skills in the game and all of his specials, and has carnage level stats, meaning he's above and beyond a boss unit at this point. After you beat him, you still have one more boss before the post-game story ends, and then you gain access to the carnage world, where the enemies truly make Bloodis look like a chump. Additionally, it's highly likely that if you can beat Bloodis, you're still several 0's off in your stats from taking Baal down. Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless really smacks you down in Chapter 2. Upon entering, you're faced with Yeyasu, who uses the new Jumbility mechanic. This means he does a lot of damage, and he has a 5x5 attack radius he can launch anywhere on the field. Surviving him requires either abuse of the Rage Mechanic yourself, or overleveling to survive the blows, as your resources for power are limited this early in the game.

They're the first opponent with projectiles that can't be jumped, they sweep large areas of the field with their Eye Beams, and their fight is much longer, to the point of giving the player a checkpoint in between. The second Rasta Beast fight. For the first half of the game, you only need to dodge the notes thrown at you in fights. However, in the second half a new mechanic is introduced- using Red's arm to grab two notes of the same color and throw them back at the boss. The first few bosses with this gimmick are pretty easy to accustom you to it, but once you reach Rasta Beast, that changes. The boss combines a strict time limit with plenty of mirror notes that you cannot jump over and that block your attacks, and has two sections where they shoot very fast-moving notes at you. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it, but it will likely take a first-time player many tries to do so, and is indicative of just how hard the bosses will be from that point, so you better have gotten the hang of the new mechanic or you will not go any further.

It teaches you to value safety over dealing damage and never allow yourself to be cornered. If Giant Skeleton doesn't give you trouble, the Giant Enemy Crab in the later lighthouse level will. It's a long endurance match and you need to be on your toes to avoid all of its attacks, as well as utilising Magnes and general platforming skills quite quickly. It's all worth it for the finisher where you crush it with an elevator, though. Finally, the tutorial level usually concludes with you fighting off four Skeletons. Simple. However, on Hard Mode, the skeletons are replaced by Skeleton Heroes, obnoxious mooks with projectile attacks from later in the game. The fight is quite winnable if you know what you're doing, but it's a surprise for a player who thought he could just coast through with New Game Plus gear.

After Takao has apparently matched Kai, Max shows up with a defense-based beyblade that No Sells Dragoon's attacks. Rei, finally, makes it clear just how dominant international-level beybladers are, overpowering Takao's Dragoon in the first set of their match. In the American Tournament Arc, the protagonists feel invincible after winning the Asian Tournament, and have a couple friendly match with the American team... In which Max gets annihilated as soon as A-lister Emily steps into the ring. The following story arc, our guys feel too proud again... Cue Ralf. Whose aggressive style also revolutionizes the whole concept of bit-beast-powered beyblade fighting. At the start of the second season, Takao, now world champion, feels effectively invincible. Cue Curb-Stomp Battle on him and his team, with only Kai achieving a draw when the Saint Seals first show up. Takao being Takao, he starts the third season feeling invincible once more. Then at the world championship he gets his rear handed to him by Rei, who not only wins, but also makes him look an idiot.

He's stronger than most of the generals you've fought so far, and in the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version, his enemy-exclusive Royal Soldier troops are also stronger than yours and don't fall under the game's Tactical Rockâ€“Paperâ€“Scissors pattern (being analogous to your magical classes' Guardsmen, who do well against Slimes and Lizardmen, but falter against all other troop types). To make matters worse, you've also got to traverse through heavy mountainous terrain, putting any of your mounted units (if you chose Horsemen, or any of your generals take the Knight promotion path) at a severe disadvantage. If you've been relying on your Crutch Character Volkoff (who is killed at the end of the mission) to do most of your fighting in the early game, then your other heroes won't have enough experience to challenge Lance or the generals in later missions without sustaining heavy casualties.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_5e91c7d	comment	Resident Evil 4 features a wicked and terrifying early encounter with the chainsaw-wielding Dr. Salvador. Aside from being horrifying, this nasty enemy probably killed 90% of gamers the first time they set foot into the opening village, because his chainsaw will instantly behead you if he gets close, and he has a whopping 40HP at a stage when your handgun only does 1 point per shot. Players can avoid this encounter by passing up the shotgun during the opening shootout and avoiding the eastern path out of the village (yes, if you really screw up you'll potentially have to deal with two of them), which given you have only a weak pistol and a couple of grenades is a sort of wake up call in itself.

If you haven't learned to use stat-buffing abilities such as Burning Arm and Windy Shoe, you'll be unable to do more than Scratch Damage to the boss. Also, while every battle in the game has a turn limit, this is the battle that hammers in its importance, as you must divide your party between attacking the main boss and fighting its flunkies, leaving little time to spare.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_61d4e874	comment	Conker's Bad Fur Day has two examples, either of which can be the first boss depending on whether the player chooses to clear the chapters in order, or skips parts of them for a non-linear progression: Haybot: At first, it seems like the characters (Conker assisted by Franky the pitchfork, in this case), simply have to hit the hay-covered robot three times while dodging its attacks. But then the boss breaks the floors out of rage and all of them fall into a sewer basement, where the battle turns into a nasty Didn't Need Those Anyway! scenario. The boss loses parts of its body as Conker and Franky continue pressing the red button behind its body, which in turn can only be done after luring the boss into water (after, in turn, luring the boss's missiles into some pipes to break them). When Haybot is complete, it attacks by squashing the characters with both hands. When one of those hands is gone, it attacks by seizing them and then throwing them away. With both hands gone, it squashes against the characters, but with its own metallic base. With the rest of the body gone, the boss is simply defeated, but then Conker has to escape from there before it's too late. The Great Mighty Poo: Though its attacks are easy to dodge, the player has to know how to aim fast and precisely to throw the toilet papers to the boss to its mouth when he starts singing. As the battle progresses, the tempo of the music increases and it becomes much harder to hit him successfully. It can take several tries if, in the long run, the attacks end up depleting Conker's life bar.

The boss itself isn't too difficult to hit or avoid, and can be killed very easily in about 7 seconds if Tails stays out of the way (see below), but the real danger is the Bottomless Pits on either side of the arena: if you do get hit or you try to get over-clever with your attacks, there's a fair chance you'll be knocked right into one of these pits.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_640d9be1	comment	Although it is much more difficult all-around compared to the other two GBA games in the series, the first few bosses in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade are generally pretty easy—until you get to Leygance, who is your first promoted boss, a General. Being a General gives him such ludicrously high Defense that very few of your units can do much damage to him unless they're using anti-armor weapons (and the Rapier isn't going to cut it). It's common for players to promote Rutger during that chapter so that Rutger can become a Swordmaster and hopefully crit Leygance to death, as it's one of the few ways to beat him in a timely fashion. The boss right after him, Henning, is a Hero, which is in some ways even worse: though not as absurdly tanky, Henning is much faster, meaning that now the cast of characters who can hit him accurately and double him is basically just, again, a promoted Rutger. (There's a very good reason fans consider Rutger the best Myrmidon in the series.)

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_6602a82d	comment	Phantom Crash has rankers that show up from time to time (Not counting the one you have to beat in that day's rumble battle) to take on everyone, but the worst of them is a ranker by the name of Mitch. Mitch uses a Ventuno Scoobee with hover legs, two Grenade Shoulder weapons, and the worst part, two L50 Javelin arms (a Ventuno-only weapon arm that fires a laser. And to make matters worse, unlike in SLAI lasers in Phantom Crash don't use ammo). Her AI seemed hell bent on trying to find you (And her AI isn't dumb enough to not use the Grenades to find you if you use your Optic Camouflage) unless other Scoobees were attacking her and once she found you, she was relentless in her attack until you got away from her or you got lucky and someone else got her attention. Even in a D-rank rumble or a Free rumble if Mitch shows up, you better hope the other Scoobees can lower her armor enough for you to take her out or you better hightail it out of the match if your Scoobee isn't up to par or if its too badly damaged.

Axes and Bows beat knives....but wait, why are you shown to be at at disadvantage? If you read the description, then you learn that it INVERTS THE WEAPON TRIANGLE AND DOUBLES THE EFFECT, meaning that the Bow/Axe user you just sent to engage him is asking to die. The fact that he's a promoted unit with a high AVO makes this all the better. In Revelation he is even worse. He was smart enough to ditch the Dual Shuriken because it made him pitifully weak vs Swords. Instead, he came with both a steel shuriken and a steel katana, meaning that you have to look twice at their inventory before attacking. Getting to him is even harder since there are other promoted units besides him this time, and they won't make it easy getting to him.

Until this battle, you could easily beat everyone by mashing the attack button and keeping the enemies stunlocked long enough to outlast them. Great Ape Gohan is your first Giant-class enemy, and Giants cannot be stunlocked. If you rush him and try to combo him, he will effortlessly wipe the floor with you, meaning you will not beat him until you learn to fight at a distance. What's more, you fight him with Piccolo, who has a terrible primary Blast 2 distance attack (which is what some control schemes default to) but a reasonably good secondary Blast 2 distance attack, which teaches the player that they do need to learn to try out both distance attacks with the character they use if they want to succeed in the long run.

Better pay attention to your movements, because over half of her attacks are lightning bolts of some kind with near instant launches. During her first phase, you had better be used to the platforming in the game, as you have to scale the moving scaffolding holding the boss prisoner while she continues firing lightning balls at you. Then when she's freed, she's angry and taking it out on you, and between raining lightning down, a deceptively large hitbox on her tail slap, and having to grapple up wreckage to jump and hit her at best once or twice per attempt, you're gonna have to learn how to dodge. If you think you've got her movement down pat and you're ready for hard mode, have fun with all of her attacks shaving 1-2 hearts off of your, at this point max 3 health, HP reserves while all of her attacks fire in significantly larger volumes and much faster. At the very least you can farm up gems to buy healing items and spells if you're absolutely stuck.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda has several: In the first quest, Aquamentus. Yes, he's the boss of the first dungeon, and yes, once you have a feel for the game mechanics he's pretty wimpy. Still, he spits unblockable energy balls that do a heart's worth of damage when you probably only have 3 and he's the first monster you encounter that you can't beat by just running up to it and stabbing. Either you learn the hit and run strategy you'll be using against tougher bosses like Manhandla and Gleeok, or you grind for heart pieces and better equipment, wait until you have the White Sword and Magical Shield, and then curbstomp him. Manhandla in Level 3-1. He's incredibly hard to kill with just the Wooden Sword and basically exists to make sure you're being careful to get better weapons. Gleeok from Level 2-2. Level 1-2 may have been tougher than level 1-1, but this is when the game makes it clear that the second quest is merciless. You'll likely be ill-equipped and it teaches you that you have to stock up to survive later fights. And if you don't have the Blue Ring, its fireballs deal a full heart of damage. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: First, there's Agahnim. So the bosses have been fairly easy up to this point. Just a few swipes of the sword and it was over. And now you have a better sword: the Master Sword, the sword of evil's bane. Too bad directly attacking Agahnim with it hurts Link, not Agahnim. The boss of Dark Palace, the Helmasaur King. The bosses of the Light World, Agahnim included, were pretty straightfoward and required only to do one thing. The Helmasaur King, on the other hand, is a bit more complex: you need to break his armor first with either the magic hammer or the bombs, and once its weak point is exposed, hit it with the sword or preferably arrows. All of it, while trying to dodge its brutal attacks. This is to show that bosses from this point onwards can't be just beaten with a single trick, or have more than one phase that requires different tools and/or tactics. The early morning receptionist for Link's Awakening is the Genie. He throws fires that also deal a full heart of damage which are hard to dodge, and the fact that you won't be used to his attacks at first (or at all) means that you'll get your power knocked out of you before long. On top of all this, he has a second phase. Ocarina of Time has a few: For Child Link, Barinade isn't as hard as what comes later but still represents a big step up in challenge. The two prior bosses you faced moved rather slowly and gave ample time to simply dash away from their attacks, but Barinade is a much faster and more aggressive enemy, attacking you with a whirling shield of electrified jellyfish and intermittent blasts of well-aimed electricity from its upper appendages in the first phase. Once its jellyfish barrier is destroyed, it Turns Red and begins to spin around the boss chamber even faster, spewing much more precise electrical bursts at a frenetic pace. If you haven't yet learned how to quickly lock on, strafe and sidestep going into this fight, you'll have all three down by the time you win it. Even though they quickly become regular mooks afterward, the Stalfos mini-boss counts as one. All the enemies you've fought up until then either had an easily exploitable weak point or could be blade-spammed to death. The Stalfos marks the point when enemies start fighting the same way as Link; not only can they block (and face towards Link as they block, as if they were Z-targeting you), but they also have a jump attack that —just like Link's— does twice as much damage as a normal hit. Phantom Ganon. The previous bosses were Gohma, King Dodongo, and Barinade, all of whom were beaten easily provided you knew which tools to use (Slingshot for Gohma, Bombs for King Dodongo, and Boomerang for Barinade). But Phantom Ganon, your first boss as Adult Link, can't be beaten unless you know how to use more advanced game mechanics like reflecting his own attacks back at him, and he can easily defeat you if you don't adapt to the increased difficulty of Adult Link's dungeons quickly enough. Majora's Mask has Odolwa, the boss of the first dungeon Woodfall, who will kick your ass if you go in expecting him to be as easy as Lizalfos or Gekko, or expect him to go down with little effort like Gohma of the previous game. He's basically a giant Stalfos (as mentioned prior) on super steroids who requires a keen understanding of the game, like knowing you can explore the world and so sidequests to power up before facing him, and the boss room itself, like realizing you can use the bombs to distract and kill his Mooks, if you want to still be in one piece to finish him: you're basically as good as done if you didn't run around and gather a few extra hearts and masks before facing him. It's actually lampshaded by Tatl after the fight, who remarks that she's surprised how well you did and asks if you've done this sort of thing before. Skyward Sword introduces you to Big Bad Ghirahim as the boss of the first dungeon. Up until then, you can get by OK just by flailing your sword around at most enemies. If you do that against Ghirahim, he will utterly destroy you. And talk smack at you for playing like crap. Ghirahim is an interesting case in that he's a decent Wake Up Call for newcomers to the franchise, but for Zelda veterans, he's a nuclear missile siren, as he shows you this is not like previous games where you can relentlessly hack and slash at a boss' weak point once it's exposed, or spam with the item you just got in the dungeon prior (the Beetle is worse than useless against Ghirahim; only your sword can damage him). Skyward Sword uses the motion sensor, and if the Skyview Temple's eye puzzles and new and improved Skulltulas didn't make that clear, Ghirahim is there to hammer the point home. Breath of the Wild's Waterblight Ganon may not be the most difficult of the Scourges, but can easily serve as a nasty wake-up call considering the questline preceding him is by far the easiest to stumble upon by accident, when the player is fresh off the plateau and may not have much in the way of health or supplies (namely food, potions, and weaponry) or experience with the game's dodge/parry mechanicsâ€”which are nigh-mandatory lest he instantly knock off what little health an unlucky player may have by this point.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_755997ac	comment	Doom: Doom: The Cyberdemon, first appearing as the boss of the second episode. If you haven't learned to strafe and circle-strafe effectively yet, you stand no chance whatsoever against his rocket missiles. Doom II: The seventh level, "Dead Simple", is a Wolfpack Boss consisting of groups of two of the game's new high-level monsters, Mancubi and Arachnotrons. Mancubi fire in a difficult-to-evade spread pattern, while Arachnotrons pelt the player with plasma balls continuously. Both are deadly. Unlike the original Doom enemies, merely strafing around each fireball as it comes near isn't enough â€“ you had to pay attention to your surroundings and to the enemies' attack patterns and move smartly if you want to survive. The appearance of Chaingunners and Revenants in previous levels hint that the simplistic shoot-and-strafe combat tactics that could get you through the first game won't work anymore, but "Dead Simple" hammers the point home.

First off, the battle mastery requires that players must shoot him down. Sounds easy, except the guy chooses to defend instead of counterattack, which then cuts the damage output. So players may go "eh, we'll just upgrade the Granzon then", except this happens as early as stage 3 so players won't even have any money to even upgrade any mech at this time. This is the point where players must figure out when to use an "Armor Breaker" from Shu's Granworm Sword and when to shoot down bosses via a Counter-Attack. And that is just one of the many weird battle mastery requirements of Dark Prison.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_90f94684	comment	Fire Emblem Engage Abyme, the boss of Chapter 3, is the first armored unit to be faced. Her status as an armored unit not only means she has high defense, but she can't be broken(thus preventing her from counterattacking on that combat or the next one). The only viable options for damaging her are Emblem Marth's Rapier (which won't work on her in Maddening) or Clanne's magic(since armored units have high defense but low resistance). Most of the early stages are fairly straightforward, even when you have your first encounter with bosses with Multiple Life Bars in Chapter 5. The first sign of things getting serious comes in Chapter 7, "Dark Emblem", where you have to plan around your enemies being able to wield Emblem rings, too. Hortensia carries Lucina's Emblem ring, which gives her a special attack that allows all allies in range to execute a Chain Attack, and her retainers, Goldmary and Rosado, have special abilities that lower the combat effectiveness of your male units.

While previous levels gave you some means of dealing with threats (running away, Eyvel, Weapon of X-Slaying etc), Chapter 8x pits you against a throne boss with terrifying stats for this part of the game who you can't avoid because he blocks the seize point. Gomes has 18 Strength and two steel weapons, which will one-shot your squishier units, as well as 14 speed (and enough Constitution to not be weighed down) which prevents you from doubling him without Level Grinding your physical units since your only magic user, Asbel, is one point too slow to doublenote With capped speed and Grafcalibur, the lightest tome available up to this point, Asbel hits 17 speed after being weighed down, which is exactly 1 point away from doubling Gomes. Had Wind (which is lighter) been available, Asbel would've been able to double. His high HP and Defense with throne boosts makes physical attacks a no-go, and even though his Magic isn't great, he'll still one-round anyone who tries.

Even All Might is put to the test with the Nomu Shigaraki brought with him that was designed to take him down. In Season 2, Stain presents an even greater threat, because he is actively killing heroes or leaving them maimed if he wants them to survive, cripples Ingenium, and has a Quirk that is so insidious it takes three of Class 1-A to bring him down and Stain continues to bear down on the students and pro heroes before a broken rib punctures his lung. The League of Villains becomes this once it has assembled a group of career killers and criminals, as it wreaks havoc on the summer training camp and kidnaps Bakugo. After their rampage, comes a fight that makes this incident look like a gentle breeze: The terrifying destruction caused by All For One, who is a veritable smorgasbord of Quirks and so powerful only All Might can even hope to stand against him.

It's not until the fifth episode, "Hunted", that Ben meets his first true challenge in the bounty hunters send by Vilgax. Being unable to overpower SixSix, Kraab, and Tetrax with brute force like he usually does forces Ben to change tactics and start using his transformations more strategically.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_9cc9639	comment	The first battle with Mid-Boss in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. While neither he nor his troops are unusually strong, the battle does mark the first time where understanding both throwing and geopanels (two things which you can breeze through the first few stages without using) are vital. Without these, it's likely that a first-time player will have half of his army blown away by the geopanel-boosted Archer and Mage before he gets to his fourth turn. That said, even if you lose you get to see a unique ending.

Every enemy before it was fairly simple and could be killed by throwing a few Pikmin on top of it, or picking the right type to be immune to its attacks (Red for fire-shooters, Rock to avoid getting crushed to death). The Mawdad by contrast is much faster, has more tricks under its belt, and requires the player to use actual strategy between the two types of Pikmin introduced at that point. It's an early indicator of how the game will get more complex after it.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_9e202b7b	comment	Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: Kenichi often fights foes who are usually tougher than him, although his first serious fight where he nearly got killed, or at least seriously injured, was against Shinnosuke Tsuji, who was able to evade and counter everything Kenichi had. Tsuji was then in the process of attempting to break Kenichi's legs when Takeda shows up to rescue him. With some help from Kensai Ma, one of his masters, who normally abide by Helping Would Be Kill Stealing, Takeda is able to get his friend out of there. Kenichi makes it up later by swiftly delivering a Curb-Stomp Battle to him the second time they fight. Shinnosuke pulls this a second time after the Ragnarok arc, whose end he missed because he was training in the mountains. By the time he comes back Ragnarok, of which he was a member, has disbanded, but he wants to fight Kenichi anyway to prove a point. Kenichi by now is stronger and faster, and mops the floor with him... Then Kenichi gets distracted and Shinnosuke places one hit, knocking Kenichi out.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Buggy the Clown was the very first example in the series, since he was the first Devil Fruit user to be introduced after the main character Luffy, thus having access to unique abilities no one else could develop. This showcased how dealing with enemy Devil Fruits was going to be a much tougher ordeal than just beating people with big, scary weapons like Alvida or Morgan from now on. The series has Dracule Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who shows up fairly early on in the Baratie Arc. He demonstrates this by cutting a galleon in half and gets challenged by Zoro in which he only uses a six-inch knife and curb stomps Zoro. It's also mentioned that he almost effortlessly single-handedly destroyed Don Krieg's armada, the strongest pirate fleet in East Blue (which, as Mihawk points out, has the fewest strong pirates). The East Blue Saga also had Smoker, the first person to ever hand Luffy his ass. This is mainly because Smoker is a Logia type and Luffy had no idea what Haki was at the time. Sir Crocodile, once the story moved into the Grand Line. After fighting a bunch of other weaklings, Luffy ended up fighting this guy, another member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It took Luffy three attempts to beat him, and even after he did, Luffy was on the ground literally dying due to the poison in his system. After Crocodile, almost every enemy from then was in some way a challenge to Luffy for the first half of the series. Admiral Kuzan (a.k.a Aokiji) might have made his appearance a bit late during the first part of the Grand Line (essentially halfway through), but the impact he had on the crew was tremendous, akin to the aforementioned Smoker, but on steroids. Not only did he completely curbstomp Luffy and several of the crew's heavy-hitters, he also left lasting scars on the crew's confidence regarding future opponents (as, before that, the Straw Hats hadn't completely lost once), which would lead to the Straw Hats going through an unstable period in the following arc, with some members like Usopp and Robin temporarily leaving the crew for reasons that could all be traced back to Kuzan. On the flipside, he is the one that makes Luffy realize he needs to get stronger and explore the possibilities of his Devil Fruit more, resulting in him learning Gear Second and Gear Third. While not as overt as Smoker or Crocodile, Rob Lucci of Cipher Pol 9 was able to overpower Luffy by sheer physical strength (being a practicioner of the superhuman Six Powers certainly helped) despite having a carnivorous Zoan Devil Fruit (for the record, Zoan are regarded as the weakest fruits unless you're lucky enough to come across an Ancient or Mythical sub-type), to the point that Luffy could only continue fighting and defeat him through willpower alonrthanks to some pep yell from Usopp, and even after the battle he had to escape Enies Lobby in such a ragged state. Admiral Borsalino (a.k.a. Kizaru) is another. After the Straw Hats barely defeat Pacifista 4, he shows up with another Pacifista and one of his subordinates, Sentoumaru, and proceeds to brutally trounce the Straw Hats. Only Silvers Rayleigh, the "Dark King" and Gol D. Roger's first mate, is able to hold him off, and the Straw Hats only survive because of Kuma using his powers to send the Straw Hats to other islands. The entire experience (as well as Luffy's own failures in both Impel Down and Marineford) convinces Luffy that the Straw Hats aren't ready for the New World, and so they spend two years training before meeting again after the Time Skip. Don Chinjao is a former but still quite dreaded pirate and Luffy's first true challenging opponent after his two years of training to show off what kind of monsters awaits him in the New World. Don Chinjao himself comments to Luffy that from now on he will have to face the contenders for the title of Pirate King, and that they will be much tougher than whoever he fought before. After the time-skip, the first massive challenge the Straw Hats and cohorts are presented with is Donquixote Doflamingo, yet another Warlord of the Sea. Not only was Doflamingo terribly strong and smart, he also had access to many resources and connections that the vast majority of pirates don't, operating in a way similar to the Four Emperors (the series' strongest pirate characters), albeit at a smaller scale.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_9fcc8c53	comment	Punch-Out!!: In the NES game, King Hippo is effectively impossible until the player realizes that, no, you can't just mash the punch buttons to win — you have to be familiar with your opponent's patterns and their weaknesses. This is because he only takes damage when he opens his mouth; anything else results in the punch futilely bouncing off a layer of Kevlard. He's one of the easiest fights for a veteran (he only needs to be knocked down once, and his telegraphs aren't hard to spot), but newbies will wind up either trying everything, or consulting a walkthrough. Soon after King Hippo comes the first match with Bald Bull, who's another difficulty spike. His punches take off much more health than those of most other opponents you've faced up to this point, he has a lot of health and will get up plenty of times after being knocked down, and his attacks are delayed to catch you out if you're jumpy and dodge too early. His Signature Move, the Bull Charge, is a One-Hit KO if it connects, and the timing to counter-punch him in the gut is quite precise. A player who doesn't have the skill to evade and counter Bald Bull's punches will have little chance of getting far in the World Circuit. In the Wii version of the game, you'll learn plenty of tricks going through the Minor, Major and World Circuits, up to defeating Mr. Sandman. After you finally manage to defeat him you're rewarded with Title Defense Mode, where you'll fight all the fighters again, but with added gimmicks. If you think you can rely on the same strategies as the first time, then you'll get a real nasty surprise the first time Glass Joe wipes the floor with you.

It has a gargantuan amount of health (over 13 times that of the Hammergrubs), hits for massive damage especially with its acid spit, and moves and attacks quite quickly.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_a29d52d0	comment	Kingdom Rush can pull this off as early as the first boss in each title: The original brings out Juggernaut, a towering mecha with great power. It's melee can two-shot your Paladins, it has infinite-range rockets that can target any of your units, as well as bomblets that summon Golem Heads as destruction. While it has a slow speed and long path to the exit, it's health and damage is greater than anything you've seen at that point and gives you the idea of why a proper defense is important and how boss encounters will work. Frontiers has Nazeru, the red Efreeti. Not only is he strong, but he shows how much more different and mechanical the boss battles will be, as he can one-shot your troops, turn them into his own flunkies from afar and turn towers into inactive sand castles. Even forgoing his other stats, the ability to directly affect towers was introduced in the first game during the second boss and only three bosses out of the whole roster were able to do that, one of which is a post-game one. And the worst thing is, you can do nothing to release the towers earlier than the stun period ends, so you have to adapt your strategy to make sure you defeat him despite his hindrances. While Hi-Hi Ehna from Origins is regarded as a Warm-Up Boss, Malicia picks up the slack with the return of her tower-stunning capabilities, both melee and ranged attacks with high damage and devastating support in form of Twilight Elves and forest denizens, not to mention the Twilight Zealots that can summon even more reinforcements for her. Vengeance has Bolgur the Golden King, a dwarves ruler in his personal throne mecha. If you thought Mecha Dwarf MK 9. was devastating, it has nothing compared to this killing machine, armed with an axe and a hammer, huge armor, high health and a range missle attack that reaches far and can one-shot or two-shot level 3 barracks and weaker heroes. Hammerhold DLC has Mirage and she's much stronger that her playable Frontiers counterpart. Not only is she a Proactive Boss that can summon Nomads and Djinni into the fray, but when the actual battle comes, she summons them even more often, can create surprisingly dangerous duplicates of existing enemies and annihilate your units in both close and long range combat, giving you the idea of how hard this dlc truly is.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_ae050a9f	comment	Ocarina of Time has a few: For Child Link, Barinade isn't as hard as what comes later but still represents a big step up in challenge. The two prior bosses you faced moved rather slowly and gave ample time to simply dash away from their attacks, but Barinade is a much faster and more aggressive enemy, attacking you with a whirling shield of electrified jellyfish and intermittent blasts of well-aimed electricity from its upper appendages in the first phase. Once its jellyfish barrier is destroyed, it Turns Red and begins to spin around the boss chamber even faster, spewing much more precise electrical bursts at a frenetic pace. If you haven't yet learned how to quickly lock on, strafe and sidestep going into this fight, you'll have all three down by the time you win it. Even though they quickly become regular mooks afterward, the Stalfos mini-boss counts as one. All the enemies you've fought up until then either had an easily exploitable weak point or could be blade-spammed to death. The Stalfos marks the point when enemies start fighting the same way as Link; not only can they block (and face towards Link as they block, as if they were Z-targeting you), but they also have a jump attack that —just like Link's— does twice as much damage as a normal hit. Phantom Ganon. The previous bosses were Gohma, King Dodongo, and Barinade, all of whom were beaten easily provided you knew which tools to use (Slingshot for Gohma, Bombs for King Dodongo, and Boomerang for Barinade). But Phantom Ganon, your first boss as Adult Link, can't be beaten unless you know how to use more advanced game mechanics like reflecting his own attacks back at him, and he can easily defeat you if you don't adapt to the increased difficulty of Adult Link's dungeons quickly enough.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_ae1abbd2	comment	Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex: For being the second boss, Wa-Wa the Water Elemental will give you a lot of trouble if you're not careful. The reason: he sends out water waves that you have to jump over (if they're blue) or duck under (if they look like green fire) with really good timing. The first two hits aren't that bad, but starting on the third hit, he will send out bubbles in between the platforms. This sounds harmless until you see that the bubbles block your jumps and send you into the water. On his last hit, Wa-Wa will go nuts with the waves and bubbles. One more thing: the platforms sink if you stay on them for too long. In the first game, Papu Papu is an absolute pushover who most players will trounce in less than a minute. Ripper Roo, the very next boss, is a Puzzle Boss who must be defeated by carefully timing TNT detonations, all while navigating extremely tiny platforms surrounded by water (which, of course, is instant death).

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_af60702d	comment	The Legend of Zelda has several: In the first quest, Aquamentus. Yes, he's the boss of the first dungeon, and yes, once you have a feel for the game mechanics he's pretty wimpy. Still, he spits unblockable energy balls that do a heart's worth of damage when you probably only have 3 and he's the first monster you encounter that you can't beat by just running up to it and stabbing. Either you learn the hit and run strategy you'll be using against tougher bosses like Manhandla and Gleeok, or you grind for heart pieces and better equipment, wait until you have the White Sword and Magical Shield, and then curbstomp him. Manhandla in Level 3-1. He's incredibly hard to kill with just the Wooden Sword and basically exists to make sure you're being careful to get better weapons. Gleeok from Level 2-2. Level 1-2 may have been tougher than level 1-1, but this is when the game makes it clear that the second quest is merciless. You'll likely be ill-equipped and it teaches you that you have to stock up to survive later fights. And if you don't have the Blue Ring, its fireballs deal a full heart of damage.

After spending previous fights flawlessly outsmarting his opponents, Joseph meets his first true challenge in Santana, who also shows just how much stronger the Pillar Men are compared to the average vampire. Wammu is also this to an extent, as he's the first opponent Joseph couldn't win against without training. N'Doul acts as this in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. While the Crusaders had already faced some dangerous opponents, their fight against N'Doul shows that the Egypt 9 Glory Gods are going to be much more of a challenge by badly injuring Avdol and nearly blinding Kakyoin, forcing the latter to spend some time in a hospital to recover. Stardust Crusaders also has J. Geil/Centrefold, who fights with Hol Horse. The duo are the first of the Crusaders' opponents who are faced in a two-part episodenote in the manga, both previous and next opponents are fought in consecutive chapters, and manage to seemingly kill Avdol. Formaggio is this for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. While Black Sabbath, Zucchero, and Sale werenâ€™t exactly pushovers, they were fairly easy to beat once the gang figured out their tricks. But Formaggio is in a different league entirely, and he signals that Team Bucciarati is up against the deadliest of the deadly now. Urban Guerrilla acts as this in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: JoJolion. While battles against the previous Rock Humans were most definitely not easy, the danger Guerrilla poses to the heroes shows that the ones they'll be facing from then on will be much, much deadlier.

The original Ultraman gave us Antlar in episode seven ("The Blue Stone of Barraj"), a kaiju who confounded Ultraman with its burrowing and magnetic powers, and whereas the Spacium Beam had been a One-Hit Kill on previous opponents, Antlar shrugged it off like it was nothing, and Ultraman was pushed the furthest he had been up to that point, as his Color Timer nearly ran out. Ultimately, it takes Antlar getting hit with the titular stone to finally defeat it.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: The Marble Zone, the second stage of the original Sonic the Hedgehog. The level as a whole teaches you that speed without caution will kill you, the boss teaches you to be prepared for stage hazards while fighting bosses if you're not careful (the Chemical Plant Zone example above takes many cues from this, especially its' boss fight). The first boss in the Game Gear version of Sonic 2 is especially jarring, since the 16-bit Sonic games are traditionally pretty easy as exemplified by that Emerald Hill Zone digger thing. This is because the screen is narrower and it's harder to avoid the bouncing balls. On the Master System version, Sonic has enough space to easily jump over them until the boss destroys itself. The boss of Chemical Plant Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and the prolonged section of platforming immediately before it, serve as a wake-up call after the player has breezed through Emerald Hill (which features the quintessential Warmup Boss) and most of Chemical Plant itself. The boss itself isn't too difficult to hit or avoid, and can be killed very easily in about 7 seconds if Tails stays out of the way (see below), but the real danger is the Bottomless Pits on either side of the arena: if you do get hit or you try to get over-clever with your attacks, there's a fair chance you'll be knocked right into one of these pits. Casino Night's boss serves as a further wake-up call. Any attempt to attack it from below ends badly for Sonic, and the only way to get above it is to spin-dash up the walls (this being the quintessential Pinball Zone). Furthermore, it drops projectiles every time you pass under it, so simply going back and forth at high speeds to get your attack opportunities can often have you rolling right into an energy ball. Sonic the Hedgehog 3's Angel Island boss. After the wussy miniboss, you face the Act 2 boss, which can knock you into one of the bottomless pits easily. It's a lot easier if the fire shield is gotten, though.

He's quick, he's hard to hit, he spams attacks, and he'll be impossible if you just charge at him with your sword. You're going to need to use items or Dark Metamorphosis (taught to you by the manual) to replenish health to give yourself an edge, and also experiment with different equipment: you have two swords at this point and Doppleganger is weak to the cursing effect of the weaker one in order to teach players a weapon with the highest ATK does not mean it's always the ideal weapon.

Let him be the gatekeeper standing between you and hell. He never flinches from your attacks, can knock you down with all of his, and your punches and kicks do jack all against him. The only way to deal significant damage to him is by using environmental hazards against him, whether by throwing oil drums at him or by web-yanking the overhead boxes onto him (which you can only select by using the newly added Lock-On button). And you gotta do it quick otherwise the fire surrounding you will get too extreme and the warehouse you're fighting in will explode. And as stated earlier, once you do manage to beat him, the game will only get harder from there.

He shows up before the first Detroit chapter is even finished, and is almost unreasonably hard compared to other bosses: he's extremely tough, has a very powerful minigun for an arm, has an unblockable melee attack that finishes by setting you up to get shot point blank in the face by it unless you manage to duck out of the way, and as he takes damage, he begins hurling HANDFULS of grenades around the arena so that you'll often need to run directly into his line of fire to avoid getting blown up. To make matters worse, it's entirely possible build your character to be focused on hacking and stealth, which in the original version was entirely useless while fighting him. The game did have extinguishers, canisters and weapons in side rooms that you could use, but for the unprepared or poorly equipped he was a nightmare.

Jellal Fernandez, in addition to being a Knight of Cerebus, was the first time any of the Five-Man Band had to go up against an opponent that was significantly stronger than they were. The previous Big Bads were all defeated by someone of similar power. (Natsu vs Erigor, Gray vs Lyon, and while Erza, albeit weakened, was able to hold her own against Jose for a time they still they had to wait for Makarov to recover to win).

His red ability can one-shot even your toughest characters. His green ability is even worse, smashing random tiles to essentially reset the board and occasionally start ridiculous cascades. The game advises you to keep him from charging those abilities by matching those colors first, but that doesn't help much because he only needs to make two green matches to trigger his ability and refresh the board. As if that isn't enough, you have to fight him six times, and he get stronger with each battle. On the plus side, if you make it to Chapter 3 you get to make use of him yourself, and he's just as awesome on your side.

Even the initial stages of the Heresy itself were still largely human affairs with little supernatural to get in the way. That all changed with Ka'Bandha and the Ruinstorm- one of Khorne's top-ranked generals, Ka'Bandha invaded the Material Realm at the head of a horde of daemons, tearing the Blood Angels a new one and nearly killing Sanguinius (one of the greatest among the Primarchs) in a straight up fight. While the Blood Angels did win the overall engagement against the Ruinstorm, this was the Imperium's first real encounter with the Warp and Chaos Daemons, and it shook the Flat-Earth Atheist humans to their core.

Nu-13, the game's Final Boss, is almost a walk in the park in comparison, simply because Hakumen forces you to actually learn how to play the game and not make stupid mistakes.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_c7aa3c5c	comment	Doom II: The seventh level, "Dead Simple", is a Wolfpack Boss consisting of groups of two of the game's new high-level monsters, Mancubi and Arachnotrons. Mancubi fire in a difficult-to-evade spread pattern, while Arachnotrons pelt the player with plasma balls continuously. Both are deadly. Unlike the original Doom enemies, merely strafing around each fireball as it comes near isn't enough â€“ you had to pay attention to your surroundings and to the enemies' attack patterns and move smartly if you want to survive. The appearance of Chaingunners and Revenants in previous levels hint that the simplistic shoot-and-strafe combat tactics that could get you through the first game won't work anymore, but "Dead Simple" hammers the point home.

Hateful Serpent, the boss of the second area, attacks at any time of the day whenever you so much as poke your nose into the tunnels (and you need to go there twice to progress the main plot). Also, since it's still early in the game, you don't have the magic to repell it yet, and your boat is too slow to outrun it and too dinky to take more than a couple of hits.

Yes, the party is actually going up against an entire army! The first encounter is meant to be above the party's experience level and is meant to drive home how tough the whole campaign is; the villains are not just Mooks but a professionally trained army backed up by spellcasters and powerful monsters. They think strategically and can be even more deadly in the hands of a clever DM.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_c96cfe29	comment	The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: First, there's Agahnim. So the bosses have been fairly easy up to this point. Just a few swipes of the sword and it was over. And now you have a better sword: the Master Sword, the sword of evil's bane. Too bad directly attacking Agahnim with it hurts Link, not Agahnim. The boss of Dark Palace, the Helmasaur King. The bosses of the Light World, Agahnim included, were pretty straightfoward and required only to do one thing. The Helmasaur King, on the other hand, is a bit more complex: you need to break his armor first with either the magic hammer or the bombs, and once its weak point is exposed, hit it with the sword or preferably arrows. All of it, while trying to dodge its brutal attacks. This is to show that bosses from this point onwards can't be just beaten with a single trick, or have more than one phase that requires different tools and/or tactics.

You have to fight it standing on a handful of very small platforms over a pool of lava which causes instant death if touched, and it attacks very rapidly and with an unpredictable and chaotic pattern making it very easy to get knocked from your perch. If you die, you'll go back to the half-way point of the stage and lose whatever blaster upgrades you had, potentially making the next round even harder.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_cf0603d0	comment	Heavy Weapon has three, depending on your level of skill: The first one is War Blimp, who has a Meteor Tractor Beam that makes meteors rain down on you. Sounds cool, but this is not as dangerous as its "Roto-Mines", which are basically homing mines that can take a lot of damage. If you found War Blimp easy, then War Wrecker is this if you don't get down the strategy to avoid its One-Hit Kill wrecking ball (otherwise, he's a Breather Boss). If you found War Blimp and War Wrecker pushovers, then it's Kommie Kong / Gorillazilla that will give you trouble. Getting stomped on is an easily avoided One-Hit Kill, but the Bursting Rockets it throws are a lot harder to avoid, especially in the PC version. Surprisingly enough, Twinblade in Boss Blitz can be this. To put it, you (probably) get at least one power, rapid fire, Spread Shot, and some Nuke and Shield upgrades during the first level before fighting it. In Boss Blitz, you fight it immediately, with only one level of shield, and nothing else whatsoever. If you can't makes its missiles misfire or shoot them down in time, you're toast in 2 hits.

Up to this point, Goetia has easily wiped out bandits, mercenaries and a whole army by himself with nothing but a flick with his wrist and a bored expression on his face. Then when he confronts Sitri, his opponent grievously wounded him with a sneak attack that would've killed him if he didn't act in on instinct at the last second, pushes him past the limits of his magical reserves that he needed an additional source of fuel to bypass this weakness, and needed the help of Byleth/Sothis, Rhea and Flayn to bring Sitri down. They even serve this on an emotional level for Goetia— being confronted by a Demon Pillar after so long forces Goetia to realize that they both have grown too much apart to reach an understanding that being forced to kill the supposedly last of his kind to protect the humans in Fodlan from their wrath, causes Goetia to become emotionally broken in the aftermath.

If you're new to the game, you'll most likely pick "Jupiter Driving" as your stage 3 song. It's a level-4 song, is the easiest stage 3 song, and teaches you to handle patterns in which the timing line moves at double speed. "Area 7" on the first stage is a song whose repeat notes look awkward. You'll need to understand their rhythm rather than just relying on the timing line in order to survive this song.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_d5164c46	comment	Megaera the Fury in Hades is the game's first 'proper' boss and and defines the boss gameplay of subsequent floors. Until she shows up, the player has fought nothing but mooks in random rooms plus a pair of Mini Bosses, most of whom have slow, easily telegraphed attacks and have a few hundred Hit Points at most. Megaera always faces Zagreus in the same identical room (the last room of Tartarus), has several thousand Hit Points, has several additional attacks she unlocks each time she loses a thousand of them (with a period of Mercy Invincibility as she unlocks them), and her damage is high enough that she will kill a full-health Zagreus in four to five hits if you haven't picked up any Centaur Hearts. As you get better at the game and begin routinely beating her and entering the upper levels, Megaera switches to becoming a Warm-Up Boss whose purpose is to indicate how comfortable the player is with their current build: Losing lots of health (or a Death Defiance) to Megaera is a good sign that you're probably not going to have a good time against later bosses that run.

Their first act upon spawning is to open up a Void Rift, that empties the magazines of your soldiers' primary weapon, forcing them to reload. The rift explodes next turn, dealing damage to units in it, making you lose a turn to get out of it and reload (unless you have an autoloader and haven't used it yet, lucky you...), and it follows by teleporting around the battlefield (making Overwatch useless and making it almost impossible to find decent cover against it), and damaging it causes it to divide into 2 codices with half the remaining health of the first codex after it is attacked. Hope you have learned about the wonderful thing that is the flashbang grenade that shuts down alien abilities in the blast radius.

In both the original and the tournament edition, the Mavericks are one of the fastest and most efficient shooting teams in the game; Jamal Mashburn (or Mike Iuzzolino) can easily make players' lives a living hell. The T'Wolves can slip up a careless player in the Tournament Edition due to the fact that Christian Laettner and Chuck Person sink 90% of their shots to end a quarter. And when you get to the Charlotte Hornets, the game tells you: "welcome to Hell."

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_d908efc	comment	Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: Rui serves as this for Tanjiro during the Mount Natagumo Arc. As a Lower Rank of the Twelve Kizuki (Lower-5 specifically), his power is on a totally different level than any other demon that Tanjiro has ever faced before. The fight starts with Rui using one of his threads to cut clean through Tanjiro's (supposedly indestructible) sword, and then proceeds to kick the ever-loving crap out of him without ever expending any real effort. He also effortlessly strings up Nezuko when she tries to enter the fight. Tanjiro doesn't ever even land the killing blow on him throughout the entire fight. He does come close by using a Desperation Attack, but Rui still avoids it (although Rui does admit that if the attack had connected, it likely would have killed him). The only reason Tanjiro and Nezuko even survive is that Giyu, one of the Hashira, shows up and defeats Rui. Akaza is the first member of the Upper Ranks of the Twelve Kizuki faced off with (Upper-3), and goes to show why Muzan considers the Lower Ranks expendable in comparison to the Upper Ranks, the latter of which have killed members of the Hashira in the past. After Tanjiro defeats Enmu, the strongest of the Lower Ranks, with help from his friends and Kyojuro of the Hashira, Akaza shows up when Tanjiro's still injured. Akaza then fights Kyojuro, and is winning for most of the fight. Kyojuro manages to hold off Akaza long enough that Akaza is forced to flee before the sun rises, but Kyojuro is mortally wounded and dies not long after the battle. Daki and her brother Gyutaro, while technically the second of the Upper Ranks to fight, still serve to emphasize that all fights from here on out will have serious consequences for the heroes simply due to how much the stakes ramp up despite Daki being "just" the Upper-6, the weakest of them, and showing that most future fights with the Upper Ranks and Muzan himself will require both teamwork and sacrifice to overcome. While Daki gives a good showing of herself against the main trio and Nezuko, she's rather easily beheadeded by a Hashira like Tengen once he steps in who then claims she's not even worthy as Upper Rank material. But then Daki doesn't die despite being beheaded and Gyutaro (who Muzan considers the actual Upper-6) responds to her crying to come out, and at that point the two sibling demons fight together to force the heroes into a desperate struggle to survive. The demon siblings actually triumph on them, and it's only a Moment of Weakness on Gyutaro's part that lets the heroes get the edge back and win the day. Even so, were it not for Nezuko discovering her newfound healing powers several of them would be dead, and Tengen suffers a Career-Ending Injury regardless.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_dddc4aa0	comment	Parallel Woods from "Heroes in Another Dimension" in Kirby Star Allies. The Whispy Woods battle in Story Mode was just a Warm-Up Boss as usual, and even his stronger counterpart Yggy Woods was still manageable. But in this mode, if you haven't taken the increased puzzle complexity as a warning sign, then Parallel Woods' projectile spam will hammer in just how much the challenge has ramped up.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_deaae920	comment	Dungeon Crawl starts out fairly merciful for an old-school roguelike. (Noting that this is a relative statement.) After a player's died a few times to kobolds, goblins, and the like and gotten a feel for how the game works, they might start to think they're getting the hang of the game. Until they meet either Sigmund or Grinder. It's up to the Random Number God to decide which comes first, both spawn somewhere between levels 3 and 6, with Sigmund also having a chance to show up on level 2 if the player is really unlucky.note They can also spawn on the same floor if the game is feeling especially cruel. Either one will teach the player two of the game's most important lessons about playing a game with permadeath: nothing is Too Awesome to Use, and retreat is a valid option. Sigmund is a Sinister Scythe wielding, spell-slinging Magic Knight who can confuse the player, make himself invisible, and deals a horrific amount of damage from afar with his spells and up close with his scythe. (And to add insult to injury, his feared scythe is useless in the player's hands.) Grinder the shadow imp enjoys Teleport Spam, the pain spell, and paralyzing the player so they can pick them apart at their leisure. And while a Wand of Polymorph is usually a good escape option to turn a powerful creature into something more manageable, Grinder automatically turns into a different kind of demon — almost certainly a vastly worse one.

While it looks like a normal boss battle with the exception of Miklan wielding a legendary weapon (that causes lots of damage to him when you engage in combat because he lacks the Crest to wield it properly), things get dicey when you defeat him and the Relic transforms him into a Demonic Beast, with a pop-up tutorial before the second phase of the battle to show the player how fighting monsters is much different from dealing with humanoid enemies. Monsters have armor that causes them to take half damage (among other effects) until it's broken, multiple life bars, new abilities that they gain after each life bar is depleted and area of effect attacks.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_e2fa7287	comment	Touhou games usually make you start trying on the second or third stage boss. Some notable examples: Imperishable Night is pretty easy right up until you hit the stage three boss, Keine. Her patterns are all fairly difficult and can't be easily neutered by killing her familiars. Subterranean Animism starts out fairly normal, but lets you know what it's really about with the second stage boss, Parsee: Puzzle attacks! It's going to take a few tries to be able to handle her at all, and this is going to be true of most everything going forward. Ringo is the second boss of Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom. The game isn't particularly brutal up to that point, and she provides a taste of her corridor danmaku during her brief midboss fight. In her boss fight, however, she opens up with long, curving corridors of bullets that require precise movements, followed by Strawberry Dango / Berry Berry Dango — a micrododging card with two overlapping layers of tiny bullets. After that, she also has a spell card that spreads bullets from multiple directions while restricting the player's movement by a ring of danmaku and finally her September Full Moon / Lunatic September card, which is just pure micrododging of tiny bullets in density that is simply unheard of by stage 2 standards. And woe betide any seasoned Hard / Lunatic mode veteran who tackles the harder difficulties straight away, as her nonspells not only turn from straight bullet corridors into steep corridors that span most of the screen's horizontal length, but also get tighter and tighter, finally transforming into plain, tight and fast grid of bullets to weave through and forcing the player to switch from macrododging to extreme micrododging in a splitsecond (reminiscent of Yukari's infamous Boundary between Wave and Particle spell card), making her an even more of an example on these difficulties.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_e5de407c	comment	There are two in the original XCOM game: Mutons and Ethereals. Mutons have heavy armor and are much more effective soldiers than the Sectoids, Floaters, and Snakemen you've been fighting up until now. Mutons shrug off anything less than a plasma rifle, and sometimes even that, with ease. Ethereals, on the other hand, are physically weak and easily taken down by plasma pistols, which you almost certainly will have at this point, but their psi powers will utterly wreck your soldiers time and again, proving that you can't just win through force of arms. XCOM Terror From The Deep has Lobstermen, who shrug off every single ranged attack (with the exception of a thermal shok launcher, which you may or may not have at this point) and laugh at you before killing your soldiers. They are only vulnerable to melee weapons, giving you a heads up that, unlike the original game, you can't just carry the biggest gun and win anymore. XCOM: Enemy Unknown, on the other hand, has multiple: the Sectoid Commander, who introduces offensive psi powers (and will likely result in the death of at least one of your soldiers); Chrysalids, who boldly declare that cover will not save you, and then make you pay for it horribly; Mutons and Heavy Floaters not-so-subtly nudge you to get laser and plasma weapons if you haven't already; Thin Men on Impossible will almost always One-Hit Kill when they first appear if you haven't learned from Classic to always keep your troops in full cover. The Codex in XCOM2. They appear once you do some brain hacking on an ADVENT officer. Their first act upon spawning is to open up a Void Rift, that empties the magazines of your soldiers' primary weapon, forcing them to reload. The rift explodes next turn, dealing damage to units in it, making you lose a turn to get out of it and reload (unless you have an autoloader and haven't used it yet, lucky you...), and it follows by teleporting around the battlefield (making Overwatch useless and making it almost impossible to find decent cover against it), and damaging it causes it to divide into 2 codices with half the remaining health of the first codex after it is attacked. Hope you have learned about the wonderful thing that is the flashbang grenade that shuts down alien abilities in the blast radius.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_e5feb1e	comment	The second cases in most Ace Attorney gamesnote The Great Ace Attorney, is an exception; van Zieks debuts in the third trial feature the debut of the game's main prosecutor, who ends up being much more competent than the ones in the respective games' first cases. The culprits are significantly more clever, too, and often don't fall under suspicion until late in the trial, often after the trial's first day. In most games, the second trials are significantly longer than the cases before them and, with the exception of "The Magical Turnabout," and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band,"(which does not include a trial) do not end on the first day. In the second Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Frank Sahwit, of all peopleExplanationHe was the first culprit in the series, but was such a Bad Liar that not only were the contradictions in his testimony blatantly obvious, but players don't even need to press him, is this when it comes to Logic Chess. The goal of Logic Chess is to ask the right questions while remaining silent if the opponent is defensive, but unlike the first two witnesses, Sahwit has an excellent poker face, so the player must pay attention to his words rather than his body language.

She uses the map's unique mechanics to go around the obvious chokepoint that the other enemies use, requiring the player to either not use the chokepoint and split their defenses, or use it and prepare for the boss to go around the main defense. More importantly though, her main attack is to place timebombs on operators around her, which deal tons of damage to whomever is unlucky enough to get hit by them. W will probably be the first enemy faced that can actually pose a threat to your operators, even with Medic support.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_e72137be	comment	You think you're pretty tough for having taken out the massive sea monster that serves as the first boss in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, but then in the next boss room holy hell here comes Zangetsu. He's a small hitbox, he's fast, he has a dozen or so attacks, has little to no telegraphs for his attacks, lights his sword on fire halfway through the fight, and he will rip your sorry ass apart if you think you can go wholly on the offensive or sniping from a distance the way you can against Vepar to render it an easy fight. Unlike everything else you've ever fought getting in close doesn't work as he can tear you apart before you can react while using Hit-and-Run Tactics doesn't work because he can close the distance more quickly than you can run away, so to even stand a chance against this guy you'll need to actually learn to use Miriam's backdash and attack canceling to hold him at mid-range and bait attacks which you can dodge and counter. And even then, unless you decided to take some time augmenting shards and crafting with Johannes to come into the fight with decent gear, Zangetsu is a Damage Sponge who can kill you in only a few hits so you'd better learn all of that too — without godly levels of luck you're not getting past this guy without a firm understanding of all the game's mechanics.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_e9e265b6	comment	Fire Emblem: Awakening: Prologue boss Garrick on Lunatic mode. As if surviving the merciless enemies in the chapter didn't drive the point home, he serves to teach you that you better have some strategy, fully healed units, and pair them up when you take on enemies and bosses alike, or else you will get slaughtered! A Wake-Up Mook appears in the very next chapter on Lunatic: a Fighter with a Hammer. Your Crutch Character Frederick, whom you had to lean on just to make it through the Prologue, is weak to that weapon and will either take massive damage or die if he hits, proving the importance of using Frederick wisely. (On Lunatic+, it's possible this Mook will randomly obtain combinations of skills that render the chapter Unwinnable!) Masked Marth actually serves as this. On the higher difficulties, his stats are considerably higher than anything you've fought so far, he moves, unlike most bosses, and the cheap tactic of wearing out the boss' weapons won't work because his Falchion has infinite uses just like Chrom's. (And unlike Chrom, he can use to heal himself, too!) If you haven't learned how to effectively use the Pair Up system, Marth will walk all over you.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_eab90aec	comment	Yakuza: The series is replete with them, usually appearing pretty much as soon as the tutorial ends, and designed to ensure that you understand the combat mechanics and don't just button-mash. In Yakuza 0, Daisuke Kuze fills this role. Dodge and block and you'll be fine, otherwise... hope you like respawning. It's also important to keep in mind that you have two fighting styles at this point, one of which makes you immune to punches for a bit when you block and comes with a better dodge than your first one, hammering home the importance of juggling between multiple fighting styles depending on the situation. In Yakuza, Yuya is the one to beat, introducing quick-time events in fights and Kiwami finishers. In Yakuza 2, Daigo Dojima. In Yakuza 3, The first boss fights against a Willfully Weak Majima and Rikiya aren't so bad. Tetsuo Tamashiro on the other hand... whoo-ee. He's aggressive, has decent defensive skills, relies on weapons, and is the first boss with multiple health bars, a heat mode that prevents him from being knocked down, and Quick Time Events comprised of multiple button presses and harsh punishments for failures. Not helping matters is that him being fought rather early deprives you of upgrades that would make him far more manageable. Like a Dragon: Gaiden gives us Homare Nishitani III. If you haven't been keeping your inventory up to snuff, be prepared to die to this guy fast. And on Professional (Hard) difficulty, very often.

This is the first map with terrain changes, path splits and the opponent fielding sea creatures which can move freely, gain defense bonuses in water and put units to sleep compared to most land units that cannot move well in shallow waters and immobile in deep waters that the player get when accessing the map for the first time. This map marks the importance of geo effects, unit condition's effect on combat, summoning the correct unit in response to your opponent's moves and keeping tabs on opponent's routes which are vital in the following maps. Map 13. The map is large, the enemy's summoning circles are spread out with three path splits on top of two of them hanging midair and the player's castle is surrounded with forest. If the player does not learn to step on enemy's summoning circles, keep units alive with backup support and keep important units in the summon list, there is no way the player can win this map. Map 15. This map has low crystal count, the enemy has access to the phoenix which renders "all unit kills" victory impossible on top of very fast mana regeneration rate and the lava terrain forces the player to use air units to avoid lava damage while the enemy sends powerful anti-air units to deal with them. If the players do not understand how to quickly capture crystals and use mana generator units to boost mana generation rate, the enemy units will quickly overwhelm the players'.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_f81101f2	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Original Series: Ash's battle with Lt. Surge. He's the first Gym Leader to make Ash earn a badge (and for once, compared to the earlier two Gym Leaders who gave him a badge for doing a random good deed, it was fair and square, no less). To beat him, Ash has to revise his one-note strategy of having Pikachu use electricity, especially since Surge's Raichu outclassed him in that regard, combined with finding a fatal flaw in his logic.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_f94012be	comment	Teleroboxer has this as early as the second fighter. Pagero can be easily dispatched with basic punches and defense. Then you get to Spokong. At first it seems the whole thing is going to be the same... until the enemy's head relocates in its stomach. You'll have to learn to aim your punches and counterattack properly if you want to survive this tactic.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_f97683ef	comment	Hornet, the second boss of Hollow Knight, is ruthless. She guards the dash ability, which makes moving and doging attacks a lot easier going forward, but at this point in the game all of the enemies you've faced so far are slow-moving and easy to dodge, and the first boss (False Knight) is such a pushover you can even choose not to battle him by jumping out of the arena through a breakable wall. In contrast, Hornet is unskippable, quick, can attack from halfway across the arena, has an attack that can hit you both coming at you and on the way back, and can dodge your attacks by jumping out of the way. You have little time to heal, you can't just button-mash her to death, and her stuns are shorter. So many new players get stuck on her that it's almost a meme, and her saying something that sounds a lot like "GIT GUD!" far later in the game If you go for the True Ending only adds to that.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_f99b4497	comment	Friday Night Funkin': "Dad Battle", the final song of Week 1. Up until now, you had songs with relatively easy-to-hit note charts, with Fresh having a couple tricky beat-boxing sections. This song is where The Father, and by extension the game, takes off the gloves and puts on the anvils. It's fast paced, has a very tough chart, and introduces concepts of both rapid firing up to 3 different notes in succession and harmonizing with your opponent while they hit notes. Better get used to these quirks because starting with Week 2, each song will have at least two of them in play, if not all four.

While battles against the previous Rock Humans were most definitely not easy, the danger Guerrilla poses to the heroes shows that the ones they'll be facing from then on will be much, much deadlier.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_fada66d	comment	And then there's Clanky Woods from Kirby: Planet Robobot. Like Flowery Woods above, this guy has also proven to be more of a challenge than most players would expect at level one, once again showing off some pretty devastating attacks that could really give you a hard time if you're not prepared. While Flowery at least had the decency to remain in one spot most of the time, Clanky, on the other hand, does not want to stand still. Oh, and did we mention that he also gets first crack at you in the very first stage of the game? You can still defeat him even that early on, and get a nice rare sticker in return, but it's arguably even more of a pain than his actual boss battle with how little room and time you have. It's also rather easy to get crushed to death there. So yeah, Kirby's enemies definitely aren't playing nice this time around.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_fc439a61	comment	In the second Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, Frank Sahwit, of all peopleExplanationHe was the first culprit in the series, but was such a Bad Liar that not only were the contradictions in his testimony blatantly obvious, but players don't even need to press him, is this when it comes to Logic Chess. The goal of Logic Chess is to ask the right questions while remaining silent if the opponent is defensive, but unlike the first two witnesses, Sahwit has an excellent poker face, so the player must pay attention to his words rather than his body language.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_fce1599c	comment	Return of Ultraman has Ultraman Jack taking on Kingsaurus III in episode four ("Certain Kill! Comet Kick!"). In their initial encounter, Kingsaurus wipes the floor with Jack, with the kaiju blocking all of his attacks with its barrier, forcing Jack to demorph for the first time and sending Goh to the hospital with injuries. Goh then spends the rest of the episode training himself, and when Kingsaurus returns, Jack delivers a flying kick to the kaiju's horns, the source of its powers, shattering them and rendering it helpless. Jack quickly defeats the creature shortly thereafter.

Wake-Up Call Boss / int_fe4e78cd	comment	Dwarf Fortress, specifically fortress mode, has the Werebeasts. They don't have most of the limits on when they can suddenly arrive at your fortress (and thus are among the few big threats that can drop on you in the early game), and any mishandled attack will end up killing your fortress either immediately or eventually due to werebeast infection. If you don't set up your fortress in a way that adresses them, be it entry routes you can easily block out at a moment's notice, a trap setup that can cover for the [TRAPAVOID] tag or a competent military that can minimize bites, the fort is as good as lost. If you don't make a point to check the Reports to screen out who got bitten and quarantine them, the fort is also as good as lost the next time full moon comes. And you will keep losing fortresses until you learn.
