South Park: The Stick of Truth eGuide Buddies & Bastards

Bastards

Seems the bastards always want to mess you up or steal your Stick of Truth. We’re talking about the enemies and bosses in the game that stand in your way between death and Douchebag glory. At first, elves try to bugger your every step; later, hobos and wild animals, even aliens and Mongolians, will pester and prod.

During combat, you can always use the magnifying glass tool on your radial menu to examine enemy status effects. Check out their immunities (to fire, frost, shock, etc.) and weaknesses (to stun, magic, holy, etc.) to better counter and exploit enemy attacks and defenses. You might also want to watch for armor and shields and how they might affect your combat actions. Armor makes your foes tougher, and lighter attacks become much weaker against them (use Power Attacks against them); shields absorb incoming damage, so you can’t hurt your enemy until you break down the shields (use Normal Attacks against them). You will want to take abilities that reduce armor, such as the Jew’s Circum-Scythe or the Fighter’s Bull Rush, as they are super-important for getting through many boss fights. Weapon strap-ons also help. For your convenience, all armor and shields info is provided for each enemy or boss.

Every foe in the game is listed—first general enemies and then bosses. Enemies are catalogued in alphabetical order by their classes for easy reference when fighting groups of the same foe. For example, flip to the “Elves” section early in your adventure, so no matter what type of elf appears in combat, you can quickly look up its stats. Later, you can flip to the “Hobos,” “Aliens,” or “Nazi Zombies” section, depending on which enemies you’re facing. After all the enemies, we list the bosses individually in alphabetical order.

See the “Alien Guard” sample enemy layout for what everything means in an enemy entry. The name tells you who you’re messing with; HP indicates the enemy’s max hit points, while Armor and Shield detail if the enemy has either of those protections, as well as their value. Immunity and Weakness show an enemy’s toughness or vulnerability in chart form. Check the Status Effects and Abilities sections for the special powers that an enemy may have. Full descriptions of status effects and abilities are provided in tables for easy cross-reference.
