Hey everyone, During your adventures in the Highlands, you will face a vast array of enemies, each more dangerous than the last. As you venture through treacherous mountains, dense forests, and dark dungeons, Janosiks journey is filled with fearsome bosses, Countess Bathorys goons, wild animals, and creatures straight from myths and legends, all determined to stop the fearless Highlander in his tracks. From cunning bandits to ancient spirits, every encounter is designed to challenge not just your combat skills, but your ability to adapt and strategize on the fly and think creatively. The toughest of your adversaries will often require you to switch characters and use their abilities in the right order to bring them down.
You meet the Crossbow Man early in the game. This enemy is much tougher and more dangerous than regular goons. He shoots two arrows when he notices you, but the good thing is that youll already be able to switch to Bogdan and block these attacks. Later in the game, you can also get a nice upgrade to reflect his arrows and use them against the Crossbow Man.
Rondel is the first boss in Janosik 2. Hes not a good man (obviously) and treats people really badly. When you first encounter Rondel, Janosik has no weapons. This is where a little creativity and use of the environment will come in handy.
A maniac in a rabbit mask. A giant at least 10 feet tall, mumbling something about sacrificing all the time. Hes a very powerful enemy that youll meet later in the game. Jan Rabbit has different types of attacks, like throwing hammers, causing huge stones to fall from the sky, and well, youll see. We dont want to spoil it for you. As the dust settles after each hard-fought battle in Janosik 2, youll realize that every clash with an enemy sharpens your skills. From minor threats to towering bosses, each encounter is a significant part of your journey. The challenges you face are more than just obstacles; they are parts of a story, and each triumph brings you closer to rescuing Janosik and his friends from Countess Bathorys grasp.
