House and regional boss encounters
Swipe the table sideways to read every column.
| Boss | Where you meet it | Route or achievement |
|---|---|---|
| Clockey / Clocky | Opening house, computer-room progression | Introduces first-person combat. |
| The Trapezist | Misery Town's final circus encounter | Fatal Performance for victory; Cut The Act for avoiding battle. |
| The Chameleon | Timesville's waterfall-cave route | No Strings Attached for victory; Case Closed for dialogue. |
| The AI | Office Core route | System Override for victory; Short Circuit for avoidance. |
| Henry | Late mouth-room escape encounter | Part of Ending A. |
| Clockey rematch | Mellow's room after the three regional secrets | Late hidden route toward Ending C. |
The late Clockey encounter is a rematch, not another spelling of the first fight. Its route requirements belong to the Ending C checklist.
Avoid the three regional fights
- Trapezist: use the Scalpel to cut the left wire. This is the documented avoidance action.
- Chameleon: ask who he is and give the name from the grave clue. Continue with the impactful-story and irony replies. The walkthrough records Ozzie and a possible Ollie variant, so read the grave in your run.
- AI: bring the Transparent Mug filled at the water cooler, take the polite dialogue route and pour the water into the corner outlet.
Direct confrontation gives the corresponding fighting route. Preserve a backup before a choice if you want both achievements. See the six paired boss achievements for planning.
Useful cues for the main fights
Clockey: block the incoming attack and strike while the guard is open. Let stamina recover between actions. In the rematch, watch each arm's position; the attacks become faster, and holding a block continuously can leave too little stamina to punch.
Chameleon: a bent arm telegraphs the incoming side. The Chapter 1 guide records paired strikes, so prepare for the second side after the first block. Attack when the arms or central head move into an exposed position.
Trapezist: the achievement playthrough records hitting the balancing balls to deal damage. Henry: watch where the uvula appears and guide the bat strike into that side. Later in Henry's fight, bites can come from the sides as well as the center.
The AI's exact attack sequence is not fully captured in the checked written material. Its victory and water-outlet alternative are documented, but no invented phase script or hit count is supplied here.
Optional and hidden fights
Swipe the table sideways to read every column.
| Encounter | Documented trigger |
|---|---|
| Rodger / mirrored Mellow | Later house mirror and passage sequence. It also carries important story dialogue. |
| Yew | Henry's computer account, the aaaa file and crossed-swords interaction during the later house section. |
| The Mug | After the Yellow party, unlock the back-right Condo room and use the Transparent Mug on the heavy mug. |
| Chimeramanticore | Recover the Broken Phone from the beach constellation and digging chain; use it on the white bird near the Pierrot's booth. |
| Benjamin | Touch interaction in Misery Town near the area above the Pierrot's booth; recover the hands first. |
| MatchBOXER | Enter the Underground Fighters route through the Gambling Den's ERROR wheel result and locked door. |
| Tuna | Continue after the first Underground Fighter. |
| Danu | Continue after the second Underground Fighter. |
| Nove | Read the note in Tuna's trash area, call its number and follow the 9 p.m. meeting clue near Genesis-01's room. |
The 9 p.m. clue refers to the computer's system clock in the recorded playthrough. It is separate from Timesville's in-game day/night cycle. The exact retry behavior is not verified here.
Underground Fighter cues
MatchBOXER: defend through the match throws and finger-tell punches until it retreats into the box. Tuna: the scanner creates an attack window; the later eye phase is faster and adds a charged laser. Danu: watch the spin, central punches and power-up cue instead of trying to attack through every movement.
These are readable cues from the reference and recorded playthrough, not guaranteed timing values. The hidden Nove fight and Yew's symbol attacks need their own careful visual checks before a full phase guide can be claimed.
Does the roster prove A Natural Brawler's exact counting rules?
No. Steam asks for fifteen defeated enemies, while the roster includes a rematch and community categories. Check the actual achievement counter rather than equating a row count with fifteen unique required bosses.
