It took a few hours, but Death end re;Quest 2 is finally upping its boss game. Kidnapper is the first boss that will cause you any semblance of a hassle. It has a large health pool, amazing stats, and attacks that actually hurt.

It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say that Kidnapper is a bit of a difficulty spike - or at the very least a damage check. If you want to take this lad on, you are going to have to position carefully, and use every trick you’ve learned so far.
Right from the get-go, you can see that this guy is beefy. Sure, his defenses are underwhelming, but that health pool is huge and more than makes up for it.
Most concerning, however, are Kidnapper's ATK and MAT stats. If Kidnapper gets the opportunity to hit you, it’s going to hurt. That might be an understatement.
Kidnapper doesn’t have many attacks, but the ones he does have, are a pain to deal with. The biggest offenders are his giant scythe - aptly named the Soul Scythe - and his incredibly powerful self-heal.
Because Kidnapper’s stats are so high, he is very likely to kill a character whenever he attacks. This is especially true if he targets Liliana who is probably going to be your weakest character at this point in the game.
If you can’t kill Kidnapper quickly enough, he might use his healing ability. This thing will restore 90 percent of Kidnapper’s health and reset the fight. You are forced to out damage a full heal - not the easiest of tasks.
