      Except it retroactively devalues the experience of fighting them as a boss to begin with. Instead of "yeah, I beat that tough and unique enemy" it becomes "I beat the common enemy that we see all the time"

      @@_Stormfather There's good execution, as with most things. For example Capra and Taurus Demons from Dark Souls feel like they're a menace for the area they're in, because they're so out of place. It's a residential area or a castle wall, and around them you can only find weak zombies. They clearly shouldn't be there, they're like an escaped convict in a kindergarten. And yet, when you later find them en masse, it's only literally in their home city. So even in your second playthrough, the fight still feels important, since they are still dangerous where they are, even though you know they're not the last of their kind. There's still importance to their fights.

    I actually really like when they reuse the boss as the new normal for late game. Start with weak enemies, fight him has a boss, and later that boss is now the normal mob and you feel the progression. You really feel like you progressed, both in ability to play the game, and in your stats. Also saves budget a bit. I just don't want it to be a situation where they just re use the same thing over and over even for boss fights. One thing to convert to normal mob, another to also use it as the big bads late game and multiple times at that.

    I honestly like how this can be used as a narrative tool if done well, to show both player progression and provide a sense of scale to what you're up against.
    Say for example in a fantasy game, early on you might deal with a bunch of bandits causing instability, only for the boss giving orders to be a knight in strange armour.
    Later on, a different nation might invade, revealing the boss you fought far earlier in the game to just have been a single soldier among many. If done well, this gives more scale to the enemy's plans and how deep their plot goes, without undermining the original fight.

    I used to not like this aspect about Souls games because it felt lazy, primarily in the first Dark Souls because they sort of just drag-and-dropped them in, but with Elden Ring I think they figured out a way to make them defined enough as encounters to warrant integrating them in later areas. Copy and pasted bosses however still aren't all that exciting, even with a couple new moves, unless they're in the overworld.

    You should do "When you forget one tiny side quest for the true ending, so you get the normal ending instead"

    It’s like the marauder in doom eternal, you get this whole cutscene with a boss fight, just to fight 10 in the same room 5 minutes later

    Reminds me of the big quadruped geth in the first mass effect and the mecha tank things in the original iron man game.
    In mass effect, the fight time you fight it it's so imposing. But then you come across like 2 or 3 more but basically always in mako so u can just run them over.
    I was surprised to find out there was more than one in the game when I read the wiki just cause I never really noticed they where the same.
    In the iron man game I remember it being hard, a few upgrades and a rematch later and hes not so tough, shows up 1 or 2 more times and tony even remarks that "I remember when you used to be scary."

    Some of the best ways this is done is when the boss is completely unchanged from when you first encounter them to show how far you've come since then

    They use this technique in rougelikes a lot and I actually love it because it shows how much more powerful you’ve become since the boss fight
