Alright, so for the most part, fighting in this game is pretty basic. Swing your sword or shoot your gun at your foe until they fall over and drop that precious loot. Even for bosses, its the same. Well, what I was thinking was this. And OMG, Davy actually thinks! Its amazing!
Ok, so, I think that there should be a second type of boss. These ones are far rarer, and far more powerful. They are all Lv ??, and have ??/?? health, similar to Jolly Roger. These bosses will randomly appear. Note, not spawn in place of another enemy, they will just walk out of a corner. Above their head will be a logo just like the ones for bosses, except glowing green. When you see them, charge or run. They can only be fought one on one. So, once you get within X feet of them, the area around you will be blocked off to others, and it will just be you and the Leader. (Leader is the "super-boss") Now, this is how fighting them works:
- You will start out simply attacking them with your weapon of choice. You can hack/shoot/cast away at them and deal some damage.
- They will occasionally attack you, however if you are very fast, you can sidestep it. Other times, they will lock their sword with you. You will have to do a short series of mouse movements exactly the way the game tells you to. If you succeed, then you push off the enemy's weapon, and give a good, powerful slash. If you fail, the enemy will deal massive damage to you. If you are using a pistol, instead of a sword lock, you will be in a slow motion dodging state, and if you succeed you dodge and shoot. If you are using voodoo, you are blocking them with voodoo, and if you succeed you will hit them with a spell.
- Each time you go into a Battle Lock (what I described above) it will be different than the previous. You may also have to click keys, or do motions similar to legendary fish battles. As you progress into the battle, it gets harder. Also, if you don't do it fast enough, you will get damaged.
- Once the enemy has a certain amount of health left, a very low amount, the screen will prompt you to shake your mouse in a certain direction. You will then have to do another series of commands, these ones much, much more difficult. If you fail, you take damage, and your foe regains some. If you succeed, then the Leader drops dead. They will drop a special Silver Chest, which will ALWAYS contain a famed weapon, or a legendary. And of course, you get bragging rights. :P
