Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it? (kbin.social)

So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)

Is there a computer game, a moment in a game, a boss fight, or a specific moment that you would love to experience fresh with no prior memory of it?

Mine would have to be The Seat of Sacrifice fight in Final Fantasy XIV, one of if not my most favourite fights in the game to date.
The mechanics work so well and tie into everything that's been happening, and then that moment where <redacted> (I refuse to spoil it!) shows up to help and then leaves with I think what made me cheer SO MUCH the first time I did the fight.

The music, the song To The Edge has become one of my most played songs in my entire music library (alongside Endwalker - Footfalls and Shadowbringers) as it is quite frankly perfect for the fight. and when they revealed that Soken had been battling cancer and wrote it whilst in hospital...

I adore the fight all together, and cannot help but say the lines in the cut scene bit in the middle every time I do the fight, and will never ever get bored of it.

So what moments in a game would you love to complete again with no prior experience?

Another I would add is the first Infamous, final boss fight. The reveal was great for an already great game.

I wish I could go back and play Her Story again. My wife and I stayed up all night 100%-ing that game years ago, and it was one of the best gaming experiences I've had, sharing our theories as the story unfolded. Unfortunately though, once you know the story, there's no reason to replay it.

We tried the sequel, but imo it wasn't nearly as good - both mechanically and story-wise.

Amazing game. I only have one complaint about it but unfortunately it's a huge spoiler.

I would kill to be able to experience Nier Automata Ending E for the first time again.

Bit of a different one, but absolutely The Witness.
I adored learning all the puzzle mechanics, and exploring the island.
And for those in the know, the biggest discovery of all would be incredible to experience again for the first time (I at least managed to get some second-hand wonder watching my girlfriend piece it together).

Destiny 1 before all the DLC and taking away to stuff that made sense to get into goofy shit. Though I'd take being able to play it all again, too. As is I can't make myself play destiny at all any more.

But some of those early strikes solo for the first time were crazy immersive.

Yakuza series as the whole. I would do anything to experience it fresh once again.

People who understand will know this should be right up there with Chrono Trigger. Ryu Ga Gotoku is awesome.

The End from MGS 3 and Glock Saint Isshin from Sekiro

Oh and maybe half life 2

Elden ring with seamless coop and 3 of my friends. It would be insane discovering the whole game together at the same time.

The bosses of Splatoon 2's Hero mode and Octo Expansion immediately came to mind.

Oh, and Breath of The Wild!
