    These stat boosts result in faster movement, better combat performance, reduced damage taken, and an increased chance of critical hits.

Tips
  • The Voodoo drug is crucial for this fight. Ensure all your characters are under its effects before engaging.
  • High Luck, boosted by Voodoo, greatly increases your critical hit chance, making it easier to land devastating blows.
  • The encounter with Deathclaws is a reference to the movie "Pitch Black," where characters use light to ward off creatures.
  • The names "Ph4tman" and "L33tleboy" are references to the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, with spellings referencing "1337"-speak. These characters are described as worthless.
  • Encounter 0.11, "Reaver Dance," is a reference to the Irish stepdance show "Riverdance."
