Game Over (XXL Series)

A game over occurs, when the player has no more health left and collapses. Whenever Asterix or Obelix die, they collapse to the floor followed by a bolt of lightning striking them multiple times before the screen fades to black. In the remaster of Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 and XXL 3, the game over screen is different with the lightning missing entirely and the screen turning black right away.

## Asterix & Obelix XXL

In the first XXL game, the player dies after taking too much damage from enemies or obstacles. When that happens, Asterix or Obelix get struck by lightning multiple times. After that, the screen turns black showing the corpse of Asterix or Obelix with electricity visible on their body from the lightning. The player afterwards spawns at the last checkpoint with all progress being reset when dying in a fight.

## Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum

Dying gets depicted the same way in XXL 2 like in the first game with the only difference being a slow-motion cinematic playing and only four lightning bolts striking the player before fading to black. Like in XXL 1, Asterix and Obelix spawn at the last checkpoint and the fight gets reset.

## Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir

In the third entry to the franchise, the game over screen is changed entirely. The screen immediately fades to black with no lightning and the player respawns at the last checkpoint. When one character dies, the other shouts his name.

The player does not get a game over if they fall into water: instead, they are teleported back to land with the same amount of health.

In co-op, when one player dies, they come back to life after 10 seconds with only 3 hearts (6 HP). Game over occurs if both players are dead at the same time.

If a death occurs during a mission, a text pops up saying: Mission Failed.

If the player dies in a Roman camp, they have to restart it.

## Asterix & Obelix XXL Romastered

In the remaster of the first XXL, the game over screen is almost the same as in the original, the only difference is the camera zooming in on the dead character, which now only zooms in on the player and not out anymore. A text at the end also appears saying: By Toutatis, you almost had it... Try again! Unlike the original, the screen doesn't flicker in a blue colour and the screen also doesn't turn white before the camera zooms in on the collapsed character.

## Trivia

* XXL 1:
	+ During the game over screen, electricity is heard while getting struck. This sometimes is not the case and there's no sound at all.
	+ When failing during a slide, Obelix dies and Asterix, like Dogmatix, vanish into thin air.
	+ When failing during a boat ride, it can be debated that both Asterix and Obelix die since water conducts electricity.
	+ There's a fireplace in Egypt, which kills the player instantly, no matter how much health they have. This bug has been found only in the PS2 version and is also featured in the GameCube version.
		- The remaster is based on the PS2 version, and this bug is still present there.
* XXL 2:
	+ The Game Over Soundtrack in XXL 2 is shortened and only plays the first 5 seconds. The full Soundtrack is 12 seconds long and it is avalible on YouTube.
* A meaning for the lightning could be cause of the Gaul's fear that the sky would fall onto their heads.
