==Salamander (Arcade)==
A Zelos Force first appears as the final boss of Salamander for Arcade, as well as its enhanced re-release Life Force. It rises from the bottom of the screen and then remains in place at the top, making no attempt to attack. Four stabilizers are attached to the Zelos Force, which must be destroyed to defeat the boss. After the Zelos Force is defeated, the screen will begin quickly scrolling upward and the player must avoid several closing walls to beat the game.
==Salamander (PC Engine)==
In the PC Engine version of Salamander, the player must target the Zelos Force's core to damage the boss. The core regularly shoots lightning downward, and respawning enemies climb the walls to shoot at the player.
==Salamander (MSX)==
In the MSX version of Salamander, the Zelos Force moves freely around the screen. The Zelos Force itself does not attack, however Option Eaters will regularly spawn. After Zelos Force is destroyed, the player will fight Metal Slave. The MSX version of the game is the only one to lack a scrolling section after the fight.
==Life Force (NES)==
In the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Life Force, the Zelos Force starts the battle in place. It is protected by the Salamander, which must be destroyed before the Zelos Force can be damaged. The Zelos Force itself is defenseless, and takes little damage to destroy.
==Gradius II (NES)==
The Zelos Force appears as a boss in the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Gradius II, fought during Boss Rush. The Zelos Force slowly floats around the screen, pausing to discharge harmless lightning and sets of destructible homing projectiles.
