We FOUND Hans!

[Triquetra]

We met Ben, we created Ed, but one mystery remains unexplained...
The questions is: Where is Hans?

Existing clues:

"Fallen Villain" achievement instructs us to "Find Hans". After Blood Party officially left Early Access, Sluggerfly wrote in the update's description that "All achievements are now available". This means that Hans actually CAN BE FOUND somewhere in the game. Is it like in case of "Meet Ben" achievement? Some secret passageway in some level? Or is it like in case of "Met An Old Friend" achievement? Who knows?

CandyNews reportage says, that "After RunDead debacle, Hans' whereabouts are still unknown" and "Hans' body has never been found". It supports the fact that Hans IS SOMEWHERE IN GAME. I also noticed some brand-new reportages coming from CandyNews while playin'. Maybe they'll tell us more in the future...

Hans Menu Easter Egg is the most significant clue in Blood Party. It says "I AM NOT GONE. I HAD HIM. YOU LOSE. I RETURN. TRY!!! Whom had he? Ben? In the first game? We lose in which way? If he already returned, where is he? Is he still watchin' his show from the dark corner of backstage?

Blood Party Trailer Easter Egg can be found in the Ben and Ed - Blood Party [Official Trailer] video - time 0:28. It says: ONE IT UP. YOU ARE NOT THE CREATOR. I AM AND THIS BELONGS TO ME. HANS IS GOD. REMAIN AND I WILL TAKE IT BACK. TRY AS MUCH AS YOU WANT.

Recently added Hans statues to the "Curved Mayhem" map. In May 2017 when the game was launched, many players complained about absence of story in Singleplayer and now, in 2018, a lot of clues has been discovered and big Hans statues have been added to a level. This is THAT SECRET STORY of Blood Party, isn't it?

Dear Blood Party players, please feel free to say your opinion on this mystery!
You can also share your own discovered clues and Easter Eggs!

Totally agree with you.
After playing an Acid Arena map, I got my head kicked up to the audience and started exploring. Checking the props up there and the fake exits, but no luck so far.

Me too. I have no idea why is that fake exit there. In every level is something like misplaced construction, blocks or another fake goal. Is it meaningless or not? Who knows? Sometimes the secret is right in front of our eyes... I really want to solve it :)

In front of your eyes you say.....
That's what I thought as well so I double checked the Hans memorial arena in single player but I found nothing....
except for a misplaced pogo stick at the beginning of the level when you walk straight forward and look down. You can take it but it's kinda impossible to jump high enough to use it for beating the map. And jumping into the lava kills you so...
I guess we have to keep searching.

Hi, thx for a new discovery! Who knows if these items are misplaced or not :D I'll surely try that pogo stick - I didn't know about it before your info. Once again thx for it. Keep searchin'. I'll too. I'm pretty sure, that together we'll find His hideout :)

[Hareishan]

I hope so : )

My first thought at this archievement was that you might gain it in that extra level where you meet Ben.
He's sitting above you crying at the end.... That's what a fallen villain does.
But you can't reach him, you can't touch him. I tried multiple times and always fell out of the level and restarted at the checkpoint or the extra level endet itself and I found myself staring at the menu. Finally I wrote to one of the developers and asked whether this is a bug or not and he told me that this level is fine as it is so we have to search somewhere else for him.

I also wondered if Hans is hiding somewhere in the tutorial. Because at the end of the mentioned extra level he hung his head while crying and that head looks... I don't know, a little dead/undead? It looks bloody, doesn't it?
That's why I thought he might be somwehere in the tutorial. At the point where you have to respawn yourself to open the door you can jump down under the checkpoint-platform. There is a mysterious red button but you can't push it.
If you look to your left then there is something like a unfinished map. You can get there, when you jump and throw your head. But I didn't find Hans or a hint for his current location by exploring this area...

And then, as I already said, to check the hans memorial arena. But maybe someone else can find something there I missed.

You can find it only in Multiplayer - the Fleshmatch map. When you spawn on the starting platform, look around and you'll definitly see Him... :)

[Hareishan]

Wow, yeah I see him twice in that map.

How frustrating that he is everywhere omnipresent but noone knows where the real Hans is hiding...

Exactly my words! :)

Hello. Nobody has this achievement?

Nobody from this discusion. That's why we are here. Do you have it? :)

[Ataet]

No. I don't have any idea how to get this:(

[BlackholeViper]

Nobody has any idea how to get it and the devs refuse to help just in the slightest. For them it's probably funny that an entire playerbase has no idea how to get one measly pathetic achievement.
To me this feels just like a giant ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to every player who has supported their games.

I understand your rage, I had too, but you must understand that if the way to unlock the 'Fallen Villain' achievement was too easy, it would be worthless. For example, I really wanted to find Ben and I tried a lot for a very long time. One day, I found that secret way and I was very happy because it was hard to solve. The most valuable achievements are the hardest ones. I don't think it's a real ♥♥♥♥ up. It's only a cool Easter Egg, something extra. Something that keeps the game alive. Don't worry, we'll find Him! He IS somewhere there... :)

PS: DON'T WISH IT WERE EASIER, WISH YOU WERE BETTER. I'm sure this is quite familiar for you... :)
