The Battle Didn't Count: Difference between revisions

*** And that's the ''best'' case. If you fight him in the Halls of Reflection, you can deal enough damage to kill him, but he'll remain at 1 health without so much as an "Immune" or "Absorb".

* Happens with certain important characters in ''[[City of Heroes]]'' and ''[[City of Villains]]''. Sometimes you'll see the character collapse and be informed through dialog afterward that they actually retreated or teleported or whathaveyou, other times they'll actually play a teleport-away animation. Some of these characters don't even HAVE a defeated animation, and will play their teleport-away animation when defeated even if in-context you really did defeat them for real.

* In ''[[Dead Rising]]'', you have several fights that don't count with {{spoiler|Carlito}} before that character is finally [[Killed Off for Real]] by another boss psycho.

** The trio of convicts that commandeered an army jeep also seem to adhere to this for ''every battle you have with them''. They're in the center of a massive courtyard of zombies, and even if you blast them multiple times with a shotgun point blank, then wreck their jeep (and steal the [[BFG|mounted fifty calibre machinegun]]) they'll respawn later. And the jeep will be fine. And the gun will be back.
