10 Secret Video Game Bosses That Punish You For Being A Jerk

Video game bosses are meant to act as a challenge for the player, as a test of your skills that judges whether or not you’re worthy to move onto the next section.

However, sometimes their great power can be used for different reasons. For example, to punish you for being a big old jerk!

Yes, some video game bosses exist only to give mean players a bad time. They will not attack you unless you specifically go out of your way to do something naughty, be it mess with innocent NPCs or bother the boss themselves.

At first glance, these types of bosses may not look like they’re a tough opponent, since they prefer to sit in the back and leave you be. However, the moment you do something to trigger them, they will attack you with all of their might and make you realize that you might have made a terrible mistake acting like a total douche.

If you come across the following figures, you'd best stay on your best behavior. Although they might seem friendly, they are secretly dangerous enemies just waiting for an opportunity to put you in your place.

In The Witcher 3, your job is to track and hunt monsters, but as Geralt frequently points out, killing your targets is only one of many options for dealing with them.

You can actually spare a lot of your targets in-game, but of course, trying to be a mediator between humans and monsters is a lot of work, so you may choose to be lazy and simply slay them anyway, however cruel it may seem.

Just don't be surprised when your callous bloodshed comes back to bite you.

Literally.

In the islands of Skellige, there is a side mission called "Skellige Most Wanted," which starts off as a regular monster hunt but ends up being a secret ambush on Geralt set up by monsters tired of being slaughtered by witchers.

This unlikely alliance of all sorts of magical creatures will lure you into a trap and then interrogate you on how you've been treating their kind.

If you've been nice to most monsters in your travels, only one especially distraught ambusher will attack you.

However, if you've been a jerk, you'll have an entire gang of angry creatures to deal with, likely resulting in your swift death.
