FFIV TAY iOS Instant Death from Triton's Dagger — Calca inflicting Instant Death to an enemy with the use of Triton's Dagger in *Final Fantasy IV: The After Years*.

Instant Death (即死, Sokushi?), also called Sudden Death, Death, Fatal, Swoon, Dead, KO, Fell, Dispatch, and Stun, refers to an attack that immediately kills its victim regardless of what HP they have remaining. Instant death attacks are recurrent throughout the series; several bosses, including final bosses, are known to use instant death moves, and some summons, such as Odin and Yojimbo, can also kill instantly. Instant death spells generally do not work on bosses, however, exceptions do exist.

In most games, attacks that inflict instant death do not display damage points when hit, even if the attack would have inflicted normal damage if instant death had not taken effect. In some games, indicators such as the word "Death" or the abbreviation "KO" may appear instead of damage points.

As with the use of curative and resurrection spells, such as Raise, instant death's effect is often reversed for the undead. In some games, using an instant death ability on the undead will fully heal it in the same way that using Raise would kill it, though there are some exceptions, such as the undead in Final Fantasy XII.

Death is found under the Status Immunity section of the enemy entry in the Bestiary. Because of the Vanish-Doom bug, in the versions before the Advance remaster, the Invisible status would remove the target's immunity to Death, meaning even bosses could be easily defeated this way.

Other abilities or spells that will fail on targets that are immune to Death: Air Anchor, Cave In, Cyclonic, Hailstone, Snowball, Missile, Launcher, Gravity Bomb, Shamshir, Sonic Boom, Gravity, Graviga, Break, Cockatrice, Doom, Dischord, Tiger, and Catoblepas.

The player can add the instant death effect to a character's physical attacks by linking Destruct Materia with Status Effect Materia in the character's weapon. Equipping the pair in the character's armor will make him/her immune to instant death, instead.

Certain enemies can be killed by hitting them with a certain element. For example, Jemnezmy can be killed instantly with Poison damage.

Enemies can also be killed by a single hit if the player performs the overflow glitch with Vincent's or Barret's ultimate weapons.

The player can withstand one of any Tonberry "Knife" attacks by using the spell Resist. This only works one time as the attack dealt by the Tonberry will dispel the effect. Since the character the Tonberry attacks is random, one can wait until it is only one step away from a party member as Tonberries tend to attack whoever is in front of them prior to the last step before using the "Knife" attack.

Final Fantasy XV

Instant death can be inflicted on enemies with the Death Penalty gun, as well as Killcast magic. Death and Alterna are spells used with the Ring of the Lucii that can defeat opponents without depleting their health to 0 first. Death fills an invisible gauge that enemies have variable resistance to while also dealing damage; if the instant death effect takes effect before the target runs out of HP, they will die. Alterna can remove enemies from the battle and thus instantly defeat them. Though it works on almost every opponent, even superbosses, the effect is random and some enemies resist it more than others.

Headshots against imperial troopers with the Cerberus rifle defeat them in one hit.

Some enemies, such as coeurls, can inflict Instant Death on the party. The player can protect against Instant Death with the Safety Bit and Ribbon accessories, the Assassin's Creed attires and the Deathproof food buff.
