A Hat in Time - All Death Wish Bosses [Post-Nerf, No Damage/Hat Abilities]

[@Gellot]

After finishing Nyakuza, I was thinking about trying Death Wish bosses again. Turns out the new DLC also nerfed a significant amount of Death Wish contracts. Some bosses became much easier - Ultra Snatcher's attacks became much less intense, for example. There's also some smaller changes in Directors and possibly Mafia fights. It's a shame, I think that they were alright before the nerfs. I hope someone makes a mod to bring back the old pre-nerf bosses.

[@chaosinc.382]

Still, great job as always regardless of the nerf. Also yes I believe that someone is working on bringing back the pre-nerf ones. But I'm not entirely certain.

[@pikaspoop5042]

So we should just wait to finish seal the deal before buying Nyakuza dlc. I wish Gears for Breakfast would at least add some cheat that re-enables the old difficulty.

[@bubberducky2746]

I agree with you completely, I wish they hadn't nerfed them

[@cosmicspacething3474]

How much easier?

[@ShadwSonic]

But Pika, I'm pretty sure the nerf is via automatic updates, not the new DLC... Waiting wouldn't postpone the alteration.

[@chaosinc.382]

The man was so much less intimidated by the nerfed bosses is that he taunted them multiple times over the course of it. The glorious, glorious man.

Honestly, I would be interested in seeing Gellot(or anyone, really) speed running 100% death wish. What strats they'd use, what pathing... the raw skill, too.

[@ShadwSonic]

Ultra Snatcher was too much before, and Mafia Boss EX was pushing it, but the others were fine as they were... Fortunately, I don't really SEE much of a difference for Directors EX and Mustache Girl EX, while Mafia Boss only had a slight change if at all. Only Ultra Snatcher looked to be affected to any real degree.

[@readerofstainedhearts0593]

Yeah, agreed. I played both Death Wishes, pre and post-nerf. Mafia Boss EX is only _slightly_ easier now; I can't say for certain but I think the placement of falling sandbags, especially when the line of mafia men run at you, is much more comfortable to dodge. I didn't notice a significant difference when fighting the Duel Directors, they're still pecking difficult, lol! Mustache Girl EX didn't change whatsoever. Snatcher EX is the exact same. Although, I disagree about Ultra Snatcher. He was definitely harder than the EX version prenerf, but the pattern of attack was still exactly the same except with added features from the other boss battles. As far as I can tell, the nerf for this fight was removing the shockwave effect from Mafia Boss for each energy geyser, and the player is giver more opportunities to hit him. Maybe it's because I've already beat him both times, but as long as you still had at least two lives left before reaching Ultra Snatcher you could finish the Death Wish, even prenerf. I don't think the _nerf_ made him much easier.

[@MrMega1423]

You wot? Killing Two Birds sucked. I hated it so much I needed to download mods. Snatcher EX would've been fine if it didn't fricking lag my game, and Moustache Girl EX was... well... Moustache Girl EX. I can't speak for Ultra Snatcher cause I've never fought him.

[@cobalt318]

Killing two birds takes a lot of downloading on their moves, but you’ll get the hang of it

[@marixsunnyotp3142]

@@readerofstainedhearts0593 the sawblades' amount and pattern changed to look like the non-Ex bosses for directors

[@The-Omega-Blade]

the bosses pre nerf difficulty went from weakest to strongest: .Duo Directors (a joke if you can bait certain attacks well and have some patients) .Mustache Girl (literally identical apart from some faster attacks and no imunity phase 3) .Snatcher (basically small nerfs but generally still a cluster of insanity) .Mafia Boss (honestly needed the nerf) .Ultra Snatcher (while the nerf was 100% needed, i wish they kept his pre patch state as an optional mode that gave nothing as a reward and just solely there for the old challenge) I have beaten all pre patch bosses myself before (Snatcher took 17 goddamn hours on non stop grinding) to those who say Ultra Snatcher needed to be nerfed, i somewhat disagree, he was meant to be damn near impossible without really good skill, unfortunately he was made just a little too well

[@bruhkan457]

[@The-Omega-Blade]

the amount of drugs that you must be on to do something *beyond* insane is impressive, no joke Death Wise EX Bosses are probably some of the most difficult bosses to do damageless AND ability-less in gaming history (and yes i mean that, Death Wish was made to be damn near impossible with the sort of game AHiT is), *hats* off to you, this is a feat very few could ever pull off. (Shame we can't see the pre patch bosses, that'd be the apex of all challenges)

I finally made it to Ultra Snatcher on my playthrough and realized that a lot of attacks were missing, I knew that they had nerfed Death Wish to certain degrees but I wasn't sure how much, so this was interesting to see. Some part of me is slightly disappointed that the fight was nerfed that much, but honestly at least I can be glad that it's not that much more difficult than regular Snatcher EX lmao. There's some hope for me completing it in less than 200 deaths LOL

[@TARINunit9]

Death Wish Mafia Boss is deceptively dangerous. Even after watching all of the Gellot videos, he managed to kick my ass. Gellot makes him look easy; he's not: *During his main spin attack, there is a damaging hitbox on his hat, so simply being airborne isn't enough to dodge. You need to be near the peak of your jump *Sandbags damage you in midair, instead of only by landing on you. It's a distinction that sounds simple and harmless; it's not. Midair sandbags are a big no bueno zone *When he throws his knives, you need to learn to control where he lands. Or else he will control where he lands, and that is not a good time for you *Mafia Ball's hitbox can go to hell; I constantly find myself trapped inside that damn thing *Ultracharge and Megacharge separate the men from the boys I gotta say, when you compare story mode and death wish boss fights, whoever put together the boss fight heuristics knew what they were doing

[@marixsunnyotp3142]

personally, the only boss I have major beef with is Snatcher-SP. he got stupidly overnerfed. and they didn't fix the issue that Plagues Mafioso-EX. RNG hell. sometimes, if the dice roll poorly, some attacks are simply unavoidable from where you are at the moment. I actually find dodging the Directors-EX's new sawblades (on the rafters) HARDER because of how slowly they come out, then they SLAM down without warning. the Grounded sawblades should have stayed as is.

So, dealing with slowly firing sets of 3 sawblades is easier than the entire floor covered in sawblades, making it so you have to basically stay in the air constantly? Makes sense.
