Hunt: Showdown 1896 Bosses

The Butcher

LocationBoss lair (one of the original Bounty Targets)
WeaknessWeak to sharp objects; immune to fire
DropsBounty token
Recommended Level
MovesMassive fire-cleaver, throws fireballs at range, enters a frenzied state when damaged and drops glowing embers that burn away max health

Tip: Predictable and slower than Spider or Assassin, but punishes mistakes hard since fire damage burns away max health rather than regular health -- position well and avoid unnecessary hits.

The Spider

LocationBoss lair
WeaknessWeak to blunt objects; immune to poison
DropsBounty token
Recommended Level
MovesWall-crawling, poison spit, pouncing lunge attacks that can be dodged

Tip: Lunges can be sidestepped -- bring blunt weapons and be patient rather than trading poison damage.

The Assassin

LocationBoss lair
WeaknessA central weak point; can be stun-locked; effectively immune to sticky bomb attachment
DropsBounty token
Recommended Level
MovesShifts into a swarm form (vulnerable to melee during this phase)

Tip: Wait for it to reappear from swarm mode before unloading heavy damage, and use firebombs or incendiary ammo to pressure it throughout.

Scrapbeak

LocationBoss lair (a later addition to the roster)
WeaknessNot documented
DropsBounty token; sheds backpack items as damaged
Recommended Level
MovesImprovised scrap armor blocking some firearm damage, melee attacks from armor, throws barbed/concertina wire that slows, damages, and causes bleeding

Tip: Strips his own lair of health kits and ammo as a hoarder mechanic -- come prepared since you cannot rely on lair loot during this fight.

Rotjaw

LocationBoss lair
WeaknessNot documented
DropsBounty token
Recommended Level
MovesNot documented

Tip: Generally considered less dangerous than the other named bosses by the community, though still a real threat if approached carelessly.

Hellborn

LocationBoss lair
WeaknessNot documented
DropsBounty token
Recommended Level
MovesNot documented

Tip: One of the six confirmed Bounty Target bosses in the current roster alongside Butcher, Spider, Assassin, Scrapbeak, and Rotjaw.
