15 Boss Fight Tropes That Are Not Going Away Anytime Soon

Enrage Timer

Here’s a real complaint though: Enrage timers. Killing the boss without knowing exactly what to do is one thing. Throwing a timer into the mix, especially one that’s not super obvious all the time, can be even more frustrating. If you don’t destroy the boss in, say, two minutes, then everyone dies and you restart. Again, this concept is almost exclusive to MMOs and while adding to the tension, it can be pretty annoying when your group isn’t going nearly fast enough or needs more time to just practice.
