Once you activate The Raven Boss Fight, it plays out like the two new style of Boss Fights we've seen before him (1), (2). Because of the achievements, it appears we will be able to do this Boss Fight at least 100 times. Some players have done it twice but I think that's because it was turned off and then on again. I've only been able to do it once and have burned through a lot of stamina to try to get it back. The players who reported defeating The Raven more than once have said they got the loot item again. This will be cool if we can get 100 loot items. When your banner appears on the fightlist, you will need to do some fights before it unlocks.
When you click on "Start Fight", you will be directed to your Operation Page. You will notice an 8 hour timer and I believe that starts as soon as you click on "Start Fight".
To learn more about the Ammo, click on "Learn More". There is nothing new here and the Ammo drops in the same places as it did in previous Boss Fights. If you need more information, read the posts referenced above. Any left over Ammo from the last Boss Fight can be used on The Raven. There is only one Boss Reward so there aren't different levels of mastery.
The Raven has 30,000 Health and you need Ammo to bring him down.
As with the other Boss Fights, there are 3 combos we can use to increase the amount of damage done. Each consumable does the same amount of damage as in the previous Boss Fights. Here are the unique combos for The Raven. They go from left to right as listed here.
You can share them with your mafia by clicking on the "Share Combo" button.
When you use them in the Boss Fight, extra damage will be done but you will see them listed in the opposite order. When used, Boss Fight consumable appear on the fight screen from right to left.
Easy Combo
Medium Combo
Hard Combo
You can use the New Like-a-Boss by Team Spockholm. Just select everything until the new combos are added. It worked like a charm for me.
Once you get The Raven down to zero health, you will win the fight and get your loot item.You also get the first of three achievements called the Requiescat in Pace Primus.
Once you get to this point, the Boss Fight will disappear from your Home Page, Operations Page and there is no longer a banner on the fightlist. In theory, you need to go fight again to bring it back but most (including me) are finding this isn't happening. I burned over 6,000 stamina and I never got the Boss Fight to appear. I'm not sure how I will get the achievements if I can't fight The Raven again.
According to Cerulean Master, this event isn't timed and the drop rate of the Boss Fight is rare. I can only assume this applies to subsequent fights.

I am told this is rolled out to everyone and it will have a rare drop rate. CM __________________ |

ReplyDeleteIs there an easier way to get the baseball bats?
ReplyDeleteDon't bother contacting customer support, after I used up my consumables I spent reward points as I was so close to the end. I never got my item or achievement, lost my consumables and my money. they gave me a whole 10 bats, 10 shotguns and 10 reward points. NOT ENOUGH as it isn't even near what I spent beating it the FIRST time. RIPPED OFF BY ZYNGA.
ReplyDeletewell, customer service said I hadn't fought enough or iced enough for it to popup! damn, yesterday/today, I fought over 5,000 people, iced 25 and killed 6, what more do they want. Still no boss jobs for me!
ReplyDeleteI got the Boss pop-up tonight, completed and was awarded the Assassin's Jacket :-D
ReplyDeleteWorst event ever. I've spent over 9,000 stamina in three days and haven't gotten the boss fight once - while others have already gotten it twice.
