For those who may be confused: Vlad the Teacher was actually the 8th boss from the previous title. He reformed when you beat him, and is the only returning boss (aside from Mr. Penguino). It's cool to see him helping the next generation!

I like to think that Vlad the teacher is the kind of tutorial boss that kicks your butt until you learn, but heals you back to full health and offers encouragement to keep going every time you die to him.

Fun fact: you can avoid boss fight by talking to the quiet nerf sniper in several places, before the boss fight: Vlad's training camp, Kembell's kitchen and agent cleaner's car wash. In dialogue menu, you'll need to cheer him up every time he gets fired at his new job, so when he'll become assassin, and get a contract on your head from cardboard mafia, he will fail it, and kill the mafia boss instead. Not only you won't have to fight him, he will become your companion, and a very good one I must say. Although he has a very low hp and very bad in close range, in long range his rifle can stun big enemies and kill light enemies in just 1 shot, so as long as you keep him away from danger, he's one of the best damaging companions in game

Why does this game actually seem like it would be the most fun shit ever. I'd love to play this.

Interesting fact: Patrick The Musician is one of the few meta-bossess in the game, because you can decrease his damage by turning off volume in audio settings. This game have so many secrets inside it!

As a German I must commend Hans‘ ability to rise so far up the boss list. He really made us all proud.

I love how they added Interstellar retribution for Vlad and A Song That Might Play When You Fight Sans for the leg tank.

When Hans is at 10 % HP, he has a flashback of his collegue demanding him to get the Flammenwerfer. That's where the real fun begins.

As a German, I can say that Hans is an ancient god of ours who was sealed away because he became too powerfull

Imagine waking up one morning to find out that you were given a dedicated boss song. And a pretty awesome one at that.

Strategies for Vlad: He’s very oriented around close-quarters combat, so picking the Lance, Mage or Gunman class as a starter class is the best for his fight. Not many new players can beat Vlad, but the rewards you get are his Gas Mask (+15 stamina, poison resistance and defense) and Steroids (+20 attack and speed but -25 defense and blocking stamina)

Fun fact here: After completing the Hell’s Kitchen side quest, you can go back and sneak into Gordon’s room during service hours at the restaurant. In his room is a diary. It’s within this diary it’s revealed that Kembell the cardboard major was actually trained by Gordon in both swordsmanship and culinary skills. From there you gotta go back to Kembell and ask him to cook for you. He’ll oblige and from there you will unlock the best healing item in the game; Perfect risotto. It heals all your HP and Mana as well as increase all your stats due to how good the food is.

The expansive world, the deep lore, and the interesting characters! This game is a must-have for die-hard gamers that love open world adventure. 10/10

Fun fact: The difficulty of the battle against the Judgment Four is influenced by the player's actions and choices during story mode, the difficulty of the battle will increase with each bad action the player commits (and that's why the battle against them is second hardest on the dark path, only losing to the battle of the final boss of that path, Fred)

Petition to make "R/Bossfight: The Videogame" a real game with different mechanics and gameplay styles for each boss

The tactical wizard is one of the most well rounded bosses. His combination of magic, technology and weaponry requires a well rounded playstyle to defeat
