9 Incredible Video Game Bosses You Never Got To Fight

In Outlast’s defense, the game doesn’t exactly let you have much say in any of the enemies' various demises. Playing as a journalist with no means of defending yourself means that you much prefer running and hiding to actually engaging in encounters.

As such, when Outlast’s big baddies come at you, more often than not, they’ll meet their demise through a usually-pleasant little cutscene, rather than requiring you to hammer the nails in their coffins yourself.

Richard Trager, self-proclaimed surgeon and stealer of fingers, meets his end by very intelligently deciding to stick his upper half through an elevator door as it is descending.

Chris Walker, A.K.A. “Strongfat” ends up shielding you from the supernatural Walrider, that shreds him to pieces through an air vent.

Eddie Gluskin, “The Groom”, who appears in Whistleblower, a lonely chap who just wants to settle down with the right “woman”, becomes the victim of his own trap as he tries to hang protagonist Waylon.

Jeremy Blaire, Waylon’s ultimate antagonist, is ripped apart by the Walrider right in front of his eyes.

This is one of the rare cases where we’re not actually too bothered that the game decided to kill these bosses for us, we’ll take any and all help we can get in this absolute nightmare of a game, even if it means sitting watching the big bads get shredded to pieces with precisely zero input.
