Boss Fight Facts

Share:

Here are a few Boss Fight facts which came from questions and observation on the Mafia Wars Loot Lady Fan Page. The Boss we are fighting is Roughhouse Rafael and we need to confront him 3 times. The Bosses health starts at 15,000 for the Bronze Level fight, 20,000 for Silver and 35,000 for Gold.

There are different consumable and each one drops in a specific game action. In theory you can get 10 Bats, Knives, and Knuckles each a day. Many players are having trouble getting these things to drop. I was able to get 10 knuckles from fighting. They do not show up on the Brawler log but will be in your inventory. I spent around 8K stamina but I can't say when I maxed out.

You can accept up to 40 Shotgun Blasts a day from the free gift system. This is starting to sound just like the popup/spam event without the popups. I think they are trying to trick us into thinking this is a Boss Fight event when it's really a Gifting/Combo event in disguise.

The easiest way to collect your 40 Shotgun Blasts a day is to use the Get-a-Nator and copy the links into Bagman-Mugger.

Once you reached your limit for the day, your Shotgun Blasts turn into Mystery Bags. Mike Nestor got a Arachnid-Man which is a much better deal!

You can also collect Shotgun Blasts from the news feeds. Look for players requesting them and click on "Help take down the boss". You get 2 Shotgun Blasts every time you successfully help.

There are a limited number of Shotgun Blasts to go around so often you will get one of the following messages. We haven't been able to determine if there is a limit on how many you can collect a day. Mike Nestor has got well over 50 and stopped.

From the Operations Page, we get information on the damaged caused by 3 of the 4 consumable items.

I wanted to verify the information and see what damage the Shotgun Blast an do. Fortunately the Shotgun Blast, which is the easiest to get does the most damage.

Crack of The Bat

Damage: 102

Knife Slash

Damage: 98

Knuckles Punch

Damage: 80

Shotgun Blast

Damage: 281

I also checked to see if there was more damage in one destination versus another. There was no significant difference in the results.

Using the right combinations of the consumables above will deal more damage. So far only the first two of three have been unlocked. For more on this, go here.

One of the nicer features of this Boss Fight compared to the traditional ones is the fact that you can heal right from the fight without having to leave the page. You will be charged the currency for whatever destination you are in. It's also nice that the Boss doesn't regenerate his health.

There is an achievement with this Boss Fight Event called the . You can find it in the Operations section of your achievements. Make sure you don't defeat Roadhouse Rafael until the third combo unlocks or you won't get the achievement. For more on this, go here.

For all this work, all we get is one loot item called the Asphalt Assault . There are three different levels of stats but in the end you will be left with only one item. This makes it very tempting to not bother with this.

If you want the loot item but you are too lazy to go out and collect all these gifts. There are plenty of opportunities to buy them with Reward Points. They cost 1 Reward Point each. You can buy them from the Home Page by clicking on the yellow question mark.

From the Operations Page.

Directly from the Boss Fight when you run out.

And from the Marketplace under the Special Loot tab.

If you don't want to buy one at a time, there is an option to buy them in 5, 10 or 25 Reward Point increments.

If you think Roughhouse Rafael looks familiar, it's because could be the rapper and sometimes actor Ice T.

Thanks to Mike Nestor for helping me put this together, Da Irish Kid for the Ice T reference and all the players who posted facts and images about this Boss Fight on the Mafia Wars Loot Lady Fan Page.
