10 Video Game Boss Battles Who Tricked You Into Thinking You'd Won

10. Guardian Ape - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

No points for guessing that a FromSoftware game would end up on this list - and it won't be the only one.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice features one especially tricksy boss fight when players battle the Guardian Ape.

Those who manage to successfully skirt the giant, lumbering creature's devastating attacks may find themselves able to land some blows and even use their sword to cut the beast's head clean off.

That wasn't so bad, right? Wrong.

About 10 seconds after the headless monster falls down dead sans-noggin, with the game already crediting you with a shinobi execution, the Guardian Ape will clamber back to its feet and restart the fight, while still clutching its damn severed head.

It's a major "holy s**t" moment coming from a developer that's made an art out of them, ensuring that even the most savvy Dark Souls players were caught off-guard by this cheekily grotesque feat of resurrection.
