10 Video Games Where You NEVER Fight The Main Villain

10. Zachary Comstock + The Songbird – Bioshock Infinite

In Bioshock Infinite, Father Zachary Hale Comstock rules the floating city of Columbia with an iron fist. Using dogmatic rhetoric, the charismatic prophet has his people lapping up his every word. So, when he calls the protagonist, Booker DeWitt, a False Shepherd who must be destroyed, our hero finds himself an enemy to almost everyone in the city.

Even though Comstock wields great power, it's not too surprising that Booker doesn't face the self-proclaimed messiah in combat, since he’s obviously not much of a fighter. Considering Booker is able to take on Uncle Sam robots, zeppelins, and literal ghosts all by himself, it's not too out of left field when he kills the old codger without engaging in fisticuffs.

But since Comstock uses a colossal construct called the Songbird to fight his battles, you'd think the aviary automaton would serve as the final boss.

But there is no such encounter. Although it’s cool that you get to control the Songbird in the last section, it’s a pity that BioShock Infinite has two diverse villains and you don't fight either of them.
