Which games are the worst offenders for letting you upgrade a character/inventory only to lose it all part way through the game. (alien.top)

I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.

In risk of rain 2 all of your gear is given to the final boss part way through the fight. You can get it back by doing damage but the stronger you are going into that fight, that harder he hits while trying to get your stuff back.

I always thought that was clever. It doesn't take long before you're basically back to your old build, and every shot gets you there exponentially quicker. It was never a death moment as much as a temporary hinderance.
