10 Video Game Bosses You Can Trick Into Killing Themselves
5. Asgore (Undertale)
The delightful Undertale goes out of its way to subvert anything and everything it can get its hands on, meaning that you can never be fully sure what to expect from each enemy encounter, and you're never quite sure who's a friend, and who's a foe.
Just look at Asgore. He looks big and nasty and powerful - and when you fight him, he'll certainly test your mettle - but if you hit certain markers on your first and second neutral playthroughs of the game, Asgore will dive into an emotional speech about how he regrets some of his more sinister actions, how he doesn't want to hurt anyone, and how he misses his wife, culminating in him asking the player to take his soul.
To unlock this outcome you'll have to kill Flowey in your first neutral playthrough and elect to spare Asgore in your second, and after you fight him, he'll offer you his soul before sacrificing himself.
Then, because nothing is sacred, that annoying cretin Flowey will appear and inform you that every time you get a happy ending he'll show up to ruin it, but Asgore's noble end was a lovely moment... while it lasted.
