Hunt: Showdown – Bosses Guide

The Butcher

The Butcher is a walking sack of flesh-meat. He has many different types of attacks, including a “Frenzy mode” where he goes off and relentlessly attacks you. His first attack is the “hook” attack which can also set the player on fire. For his rage attack, he casts a crazy fireball. The butcher also runs at the players at the same speed as their sprint speed so he’s fast as hell, on top of being dangerous.

The worst thing about the butcher is that he leaves a fire patch behind him, so if you try to walk around him, well, it’s a quick trip to the burn ward. The one weakness he has is that he is easy to kill with an axe. Use your strong attack so you can stun him, however, if he goes into frenzy mode you’ll want to run away and let him pop his cooldown. If you can throw a well-placed stick of dynamite or a sticky bomb, you can really hurt him.

The Spider

Of all the bosses, this one is the scariest of them all. It is a fast target and has many attacks, including a frenzy mode. The first attack is a pounce and it screeches before it jumps. If you hear a screech, get some distance quick. If you have a serious weapon, like a double-barrel shotty, for example, it can stop the pounce in its tracks. If the Spider is on the roof, it can use its spit attack which hurts is poisonous to boot. Speaking of which, don’t bring poison to this fight, as it is ineffective. The Spider’s weakness is blunt weapons and fire. KILL IT WITH FIRE!

The Assassin

The Assassin will keep you on your toes…literally. The first attack he uses is a stab attack. He’ll come up behind you with a spear made from one of his bones and he will make you bleed. Watch your back around him. He can also use his bones as a ranged attack.

Oh, and he has a clone attack too. Then there’s his bug attack. He’ll throw a load of bugs at you and it will impact your vision if it hits you. His weakness is poison. If you have any poison grenades, launch them. The shotgun is also very effective against him.

Scrapbeak

A giant bird with loads of storage is probably the best way to characterize Scrapbeak. When you get to him, there are no weapons or health or ammo around him, so you have to fight him with whatever you come with. In regards to his attacks, he has axes, hammers, shovels, pitchforks, you name it. He is like a walking Home Depot. His ranged attack is a barbed wire bomb, and it is nasty. It does bleed damage and slows you down, so stay vigilant. You can use a long-range weapon to break the razor wire – the pitchfork is effective.

Scrapbeak’s frenzy is not very convincing, however, his movement speed increases considerably. His last frenzy, a nasty scream, is rather jarring. He is weak to poison because he’s a humanoid, but he’s really weak against fire. Better stock up on fire bombs.
