!! This show provides examples of:

* AutoSave: You know that a Boss fight is coming when you see that the game is saving while you enter a big room.
* BossGame: The Bosses are the only real challenge besides some obstacles which you need Upgrades for, but that's why there are so many of them.

* BattleThemeMusic: Every Boss has a different one.

* BossBattle: The Boss battles are a pretty big part of the game because they are the only parts of the games where you have to fight. This has drawn some comparisons to ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', another game which consists of a series of boss battles.

* BossRush: You can play it after you played trough the normal game, you even get an achievement for beating the Boss Rush!

* CheckPoint: The travel stations are this

%%* FinalBoss:

** AdvancingBossOfDoom: The Defiler
** BackgroundBoss: The false Light spends most of it's time in the background
** FinalBoss: Every Journey has to end, and this one is no exception
** CognizantLimbs: Poor Tranquil...
** CollapsingCeilingBoss: Rocks fall from the roof in the fight against the Tranquil and the false Light.
** DidntNeedThoseAnyway: The forgotten One likes to throw it's bones around just to collect them later in the fight for small health boosts
** DualBoss: The Fathers
** WeaponizedOffspring: The Worm and the Fathers are not exactly good parents
** InstantDeathRadius: There's a reason why you have to destroy the tentacles of the Tranquil first before attacking his body
** HeWasRightThereAllAlong: The Bosses are surprisingly sneaky for being mostly over 100m long
** StationaryBoss: The Heart of the City is a plant, so don't expect too much movement from it
** UnderwaterBossBattle: Duh.
** WolfpackBoss: The Chain Gang
* BossRoom: If there's a huge room, there's a 85% chance that you will fight a boss there
* BossRush: You can play it after you played trough the normal game, you even get an achievment for beating the Boss Rush!

* CombatTentacles: The Tranquil has these

** The Worm just rips apart and spews out lots of little worms

** The False Light implodes while its [[EyeScream eyes burst like balloons]]
** The big shark and the "leader" of the Chain Gang gets the skin ripped off its face upon swimming into one of its mines, and its [[YourHeadASplode head explodes after it makes the same mistake twice]].
** The Defiler just walks straight into the opening of a huge car crusher. The player gets the privilige to see how the machine starts while the creature cries and screams, pounding against the walls with its claws, leaving visible dents on the outside. It does not help and blood flows out of a another smaller opening, followed by a red, sticky cube with still visible eyes in it. Yikes!

* CruelTwistEnding: [[spoiler: All the senseless killing, getting upgrades, fighting monsters and smashing through obstacles was for nothing as you still die at the end because your submachine shuts off, sinking to the ground of the big, blue ocean]],
* DeusEstMachina: [[spoiler: Osiris, whose name is dropped in text logs at several points in the game, is revealed to be an Artificial Intelligence designed to help humanity deal with its social and environmental problems - in its own words, "a god who truly cares." While it manages to help solve most of humanity's problems, in the end it decides that the only way to save the Earth from destruction is to "stabilize the population" (read: exterminate) of humans.]]
* Expy:

* SandWorm: The first Boss does not dig trough sand, but everything else fits to the image of the stereotypical sand worm
* SceneryPorn
* SeaMine: Just because these Sea mines are around 20m big doesn't stop most players from swimming into them

* StockNessMonster: There is a creature that you can find in the Seaweed Forest that kinda looks like the Loch Ness monster, with the big neck and all
* ThreateningShark: The Chain Gang consists of dozens of Hammerhead sharks and an enormous Tiger shark, which drags two sea mines on chains behind it.
* WhoForgotTheLights: The deep sea is not known for being bright, you have to find the lamp upgrade for that

* PufferFish: You'll find some swimming around here and there

* AlluringAnglerfish: The name for the false Light says it all.

* GiantSquid: The Tranquil is this (technically an octopus).

** The Guardian looks very similar to one of the Sentinels from the Matrix movies.

* SeaMonster: Nearly every creature you encounter could count as this just because everything is THAT big
* SideView: Wouldn't be a true Metroidvania game without it

* BossBattle: The Boss battles are a pretty big part of the game because they are the only parts of the games where you have to fight.

** Facility Defense Drone: The Guardian

** The Worm just rips open and pukes out lots of little worms
** The Tranquil has one of the most cruel deaths in the whole game. You shoot all his tentacles off, reducing him to nothing more than a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown limbless cripple and then you shoot his now defenseless body]] while visible and nasty wounds appear on him until he finally dies
** The false Light implodes while his [[EyeScream eyes get bloody and teary and swell up like a balloon just to pop like the latter]]
** The big shark and the "leader" of the Chain Gang has no skin anymore on his head after swimming into one of his sea mines, his [[YourHeadASplode head explodes after he makes the same mistake twice]]

* GiantSquid: The Tranquil is this
* ManEatingPlant: The Heart of the City is definitely a very big, aggresive plant but it's doubtable that it eats humans because these have been extinct for a long time

* ThreateningShark: One of the Bosses, The Chain Gang consists of dozens of Hammerhead sharks and a big Tigershark which drags two sea mines on chains behind it
