Not a boss but
>Human enemies in Fallout 4 sometimes retreat to make use of Stimpaks
Thought that was pretty neat. I'm not the only person in the world to make use of these godly wonder meds. Shame they don't pop chems like Psycho and whatnot.

You stupid fuck, you're supposed to hoard them in case you need them later. If you have to use one now, it just means you're underleveled.

It infuriates me every time I see "so-and-so has mutated!" like it's fucking borderlands.

and still 10 years later I've yet to see a more interesting use of mechanics for a boss.

What's the point, if it just results in you never ever using the potions?

Well there's that weird colored aura they get. But it would be cool to see them ACTUALLY mutate. Like them suddenly springing some hideous growth like in The Thing.

But anon, it gets a smoky effect and becomes highlighted in a colour! Isn't that amazing?
Seriously it's really stupid. Does nothing but elongate encounters with bullet sponge enemies.
>>332344716
I have no idea. It's like their definition of "mutated" is just dousing the NPC in piss and refilling their health bar.

Is that legendary effect called "lasting two more seconds and then they die anyway"? 'cause I think I get that one a lot

SMT Strange Journey does the instakill thing and allows you to place status effects on a certain boss' food to inflict it on the boss

In D&D, negative energy spells healed undead, which is where the 'healing spells hurt undead' meme started in the first place.
