Guide to defeating Bakstabba, the Greenskin Assassin, in Tempest Rising's Tangier High Pass mission. Learn boss mechanics and effective strategies to secure victory.

Alright, so you've made it to the Tangier High Pass and you're about to run into a nasty surprise: the Greenskin Assassin, Bakstabba. Honestly, I'm a bit baffled why this mission wasn't thrown at you earlier, but hey, here we are! This guy is no joke, and he's a step up from the usual Ork grunts you've been mowing down.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by working your way up the map. Just push forward and clear out the Ork opposition. With all the gear you've picked up by now, these regular enemies should be pretty easy to handle.
  2. 2
    The real challenge is the boss, Bakstabba. He's a tough Ork, looking a bit like he stepped out of the French Foreign Legion. He's got some nasty tricks up his sleeve, including Suppression Tactics and a special ability called [FRAG MISSILE] that marks one of your squads with ominous skulls.
  3. 3
    When Bakstabba targets one of your squads with the skull marker, don't panic. Make sure Thaddeus is in your squad for this fight. Activate his [CHAPTER'S FURY] ability, then immediately follow up with [MERCILESS STRIKES] to pound Bakstabba hard.
  4. 4
    Keep an eye on the boss area. If the fight starts to drag on, various Ork troops will regularly spawn in to help Bakstabba out. When this happens, don't hesitate to call in artillery support using [SIGNUM].
Tips
  • Bakstabba has a hefty 122,390 HP, so be prepared for a sustained fight.
  • His Terminator armor is what's keeping him from absolutely wrecking your Space Marines, so focus your attacks on him.
  • The [FRAG MISSILE] ability is his most dangerous, so be ready to counter it with your own offensive abilities.
  • Don't forget to use your squad's special abilities effectively – [CHAPTER'S FURY] and [MERCILESS STRIKES] are key here.
  • Artillery strikes via [SIGNUM] are crucial for managing the adds that spawn during the fight.
