  You killed the ultimate boss; now with their drop you are the setting’s ultimate boss. You just need to wait for another plucky young upstart to rise and take you down.

      Ehhhhh… Kinda, not really. The wizard goes mad, the rogue aligns with evil and the warrior failed to contain the big evil and is possessed by it.

      Doesn’t sound like final boss to me.

      Or many of the Soulsborne games.

      Tap for spoiler

      Replacing Gehrman in one of the Bloodborne endings being the most direct example.

  There is sadistic satisfaction to be had from absolutely nuking enemies who gave you trouble before.

  I also like collecting shiny things.
