Hunt Showdown 1896 Boss Guide

In this guide, you'll learn how to efficiently defeat the bosses in Hunt: Showdown 1896. Each boss has special abilities and weaknesses that you can exploit. The guide provides brief tips and strategies to defeat the Butcher, the Spider, the Assassin, the Scrapbeak, the Hellborn, and Rotjaw, and successfully secure the bounty.

General Tips

The Boss Area:Each boss is located inside a building and can move freely across one or two floors.

The Invisible Barrier: If you leave the boss room, the monster will not follow you. This can be helpful for luring the boss to the edge of the area and attacking from a safe distance.

Useful Items: In boss areas, you'll often find oil lamps and bear traps. The lamps are especially effective against the Spider and the Assassin, while the bear traps are excellent for securing entrances.

The Spider:

To defeat The Spider in Hunt Showdown, a combination of skill, proper equipment, and strategic movement is crucial. Here's a detailed guide on how to best take down The Spider:

Strengths:

• High Speed: The Spider moves extremely quickly and can climb walls and ceilings, making it hard to target accurately.
  
  
• Poison Attacks: It spits poison, causing damage over time and impairing your vision, which can be dangerous in close quarters.
  
  
• Unpredictable Movement: Its sudden direction changes and attacks from different angles make it difficult to track its movements.
  
  
• Immunity to Poison Damage: The Spider is completely immune to poison damage, making poison weapons or grenades ineffective.

Weaknesses:

• Vulnerability to Fire: The Spider takes significant damage from fire. Molotov cocktails, burning lamps, and fire weapons are extremely effective.
  
  
• Bleeding at Low Health: Once The Spider's health is low, it becomes vulnerable to bleeding damage. Weapons or ammunition with bleeding effects can be particularly useful here.
  
  
• Dynamite: Explosive weapons like dynamite can inflict significant damage, especially if it hits The Spider while it is hanging on walls or ceilings, as it ensures a direct hit.

Recommended Equipment:

• Molotov Cocktails and Fire Weapons: Due to The Spider's vulnerability to fire, Molotov cocktails, burning lamps, or fire ammunition are the best choices.
  
  
• Rapid-Fire Weapons or Shotguns: Given The Spider's speed, weapons with a high rate of fire or shotguns are ideal for dealing rapid damage at close range.
  
  
• Antidote Injectors:These protect you from The Spider's poison attacks and help minimize damage caused by poison.
  
  
• Dynamite: Dynamite bundles or hand grenades are highly effective, especially if thrown accurately while The Spider is on walls or ceilings.

Tips:

1. Constant Movement: Stay on the move to dodge The Spider's fast attacks. Its unpredictable movements make it challenging to keep it in your sights for long.
   
   
2. Use Fire Weapons: Utilize Molotov cocktails and burning lamps to continuously inflict fire damage on The Spider, exploiting its weakness.
   
   
3. Apply Antidote: Use an antidote injector before the fight to shield yourself from poison attacks and increase your survival time.
   
   
4. Exploit Bleeding Damage: Once The Spider's health is low, weapons with bleeding effects like knives or specific ammunition can be useful for dealing the final blow.

With these tactics and the right equipment, you should be well-prepared to successfully defeat The Spider.

2. Avoid Fire: Dodge his flaming projectiles and use choke bombs or water sources to extinguish any fires.
   
   
3. Use Explosives: Explosive weapons are the most effective way to defeat The Butcher. Use them early in the fight to quickly reduce his health.
   
   
4. Monitor Stamina: As the fight can be prolonged, ensure you have enough stamina and keep moving to dodge his attacks.
   
   
5. Utilize the Environment: Use the environment to your advantage by staying safe when The Butcher gets too close and attacking from a distance.

The Assassin

To successfully defeat The Assassin in Hunt Showdown, it’s crucial to understand his unique abilities and use a well-thought-out strategy along with the right equipment. Here’s an overview:

2. Predict Teleportation: Watch for his teleportation patterns to quickly strike him when he reappears.
   
   
3. Melee During Swarm Form: When The Assassin shifts into his swarm form, he is vulnerable to melee attacks. Use heavy weapons to capitalize on this phase.

The Scrapbeak

To efficiently defeat The Scrapbeak in Hunt Showdown, understanding his unique characteristics and employing the right tactics is essential. Here’s an overview to help you handle the fight against this boss effectively:

Strengths:

• Armor: Scrapbeak wears makeshift scrap armor that blocks a portion of damage from firearms.
  
  
• Melee Abilities: Scrapbeak attacks with improvised melee weapons from his armor, delivering fast and powerful damage.
  
  
• Barbed Wire Attacks: He generates and throws barbed wire around the area, which slows players down, deals damage, and restricts movement. This makes evasion and tactical positioning more challenging.

Weaknesses:

• Slow Movement: Scrapbeak moves relatively slowly, allowing you to keep your distance.
  
  
• Vulnerability to Melee Attacks: Heavy melee weapons like axes and hammers are particularly effective as they can bypass his armor.
  
  
• Susceptibility After Armor Loss: Once Scrapbeak takes enough damage, he loses parts of his armor, making him more vulnerable.

Recommended Equipment:

• Melee Weapons: Heavy weapons like axes and hammers are effective for dealing damage through Scrapbeak’s armor.
  
  
• Shotguns: Although his armor blocks some shots, a shotgun can still deal significant damage at close range.
  
  
• Explosives: Dynamite or sticky bombs are ideal for weakening Scrapbeak and quickly destroying his armor.

Tips:

1. Avoid Barbed Wire: Scrapbeak throws barbed wire that slows you down and damages you. Stay away from these hazards and find open areas to move freely.
   
   
2. Maintain Distance: Try to fight Scrapbeak from a distance to avoid his melee attacks. Ranged weapons and explosive ammunition will be helpful.
   
   
3. Use Melee Weapons Strategically: When Scrapbeak slows down or loses armor, use heavy melee weapons to deal substantial damage.

By following these strategies and using the appropriate equipment, you’ll be well-prepared to defeat Scrapbeak and effectively navigate his barbed wire attacks.

The Rotjaw

To effectively defeat Rotjaw in Hunt Showdown, you need to closely observe his movements and be prepared to avoid his deadly attacks. Here’s a breakdown of how to best tackle the fight against him:

Strengths:

• Deadly Attacks: Rotjaw can inflict up to 125 damage with his bites, especially his charge attack, which is extremely dangerous.

Recommended Equipment:

Tips:

1. Dodge Attacks: Watch for bubbles in the water to anticipate his attacks. When you hear his growl, quickly step to the side to avoid the charge.
   
   
2. Use Poison: Utilize poison ammunition to silently and effectively weaken him, as he is particularly sensitive to poison.
   
   
3. Maintain Distance: In the second phase, he creates electric puddles, so keep your distance and avoid staying in one spot for too long.
   
   
4. Teamwork: If playing in a team, coordinate your attacks. One player should distract Rotjaw while others deliver heavy hits.
   
   
5. Gator Legs Trait: This trait is extremely helpful for moving faster through water and better dodging his attacks.
   

Rotjaw may be formidable, but with the right preparation and tactics, you can effectively take him down.

The Hellborn

To defeat Hellborn in Hunt Showdown, you need to focus on several key tactics and points. Here’s how to approach the fight effectively:

Strengths:

• Fire Abilities: Hellborn deals massive fire damage, particularly with his fireball attacks and his "Fire Nova," an explosion of lava and fire that erupts around him.
  
  
• Melee Attacks: He is especially dangerous in melee combat, particularly in the second phase when he has lost more than 50% of his health.

Weaknesses:

• Vulnerability to Melee Damage: Although risky, melee attacks can inflict significant damage on Hellborn, especially during the first phase of the fight.
  
  
• Vulnerability to Explosives and Pennyshot Ammunition: These weapons deal particularly high damage. Choke bombs can also be used to extinguish fire.

Recommended Equipment:

• Long-Range Weapons: Since Hellborn uses fire attacks from a distance, it’s wise to stay away and use ranged weapons.
  
  
• Explosive Weapons: Dynamite and other explosive items are effective.
  
  
• Choke Bombs: These can extinguish fire if you’re hit and weaken his fire attacks.

Tips:

1. Maintain Distance: Keep a medium range to avoid both his melee attacks and fireballs. Quickly move away from his "Fire Nova" to avoid the explosion.
   
   
2. Be Strategic: Fight in areas with cover and be mindful of his fireballs, which cause area damage when they hit near you.
   
   
3. Use Salveskin Pact: This can help reduce fire damage.
   
   
4. Berserker Trait: If you prefer melee combat, this trait can enhance your melee capabilities.

Hellborn will be immediately banned upon death, so there’s no need to manually ban him. He will drop a Bounty Token and a special "Burn" Trait. With these strategies and the right gear, you'll be well-prepared to take down Hellborn effectively.
