Cyberpunk 2077 is a game full of all sorts of adventures. As the story progresses, V will face many common and unusual things, as well as fight with several people whose strength is large enough to be called bosses.
The tactics of each of them are, as a rule, as follows: first - melee attacks, and only then, with a decrease in health, they switch to ranged attacks using firearms.
Interestingly, some of the bosses listed are optional, which means they can survive throughout history, because will not involved in a battle where they can die.
The Wotpack editors have prepared a guide that will tell you how to defeat the bosses.
Royce

Fight strategy and reward
When the player meets him at the farthest part of the factory, he will take cover behind shield and will shoot rocket launcher. V's task is to "break" the shield and attack the enemy while dodging missiles. But you can do it easier - it is enough just to slip to him so that you can attack from the side (you need to find his weak point - block at the waist). This must be repeated several times until the very victory.

Exist alternative ways get rid of Royce:
- When the deal with the Maelstrom takes place, Royce will point a gun at you. Choice of optionsDo you expect me to pay twice?" and "Ready to offer us a discount?» will give V an opportunity to get a weapon and «say hello from Dexter Deshawn", killing him in front of everyone.
- Pay him for a robot. Either with своих money, or cleared of the virus money chip given by Meredith. Then Royce will be pleased and will give the bot. There will be no boss fight, which will allow V "escapefrom a problem like Royce.

OswaldDubman» Forrest is a character that V must interrogate during the execution mission «automatic love". If the gamer decides not to pay for the information that can be obtained from him by selecting the answer option "I can kill you with my bare hands”, Oswald will start the fight.
Fight strategy and reward
First Woodman will try hit melee attacks, but when his health is reduced, he pull out pistol.
Exist several ways defeat him:
- Chop katana. You need to go into the restricted area that leads to his office and take japanese sword. Then you need to quickly get close to the boss and "shred" him. With a sword, you can quickly reduce his health to zero, which is especially important when playing at high difficulty levels.

Another option to solve the situation, they added in the comments from Valery:
“If you complete one of the orders to eliminate the criminal (somewhere on the roof in Chinatown, a slum), then an additional option will open in the dialogue: “-You know (such and such a guy - explanation below)? Yes, he's already dead. “Yes, after, let’s say, an unsuccessful meeting with me… You don’t want to repeat his fate, do you?” He will give information and the quest will end peacefullyeveryone will disperse."
UPD: Julia added in the comments: This guy - Jotaro Shobo, a sd from the Oh-Oh Club. An order for it can be obtained from Regina. If you killed Jotaro, then, indeed, in a dialogue with Dubman, you can scare him with this.
Another peaceful solution in the comments from Sergey
The quest with Oswald "Dubman" Forrest at the first meeting can also be solved peacefully with a high level of intelligence, like or technology, I don’t remember exactly, it should be about 12. A dialogue appears like: "Your software sucks and I can tell you how to do it better."

Prefers to attack with swords while holding them in both hands. For this reason, the gamer is constantly dodge or sidestepso as not to fall under its distribution.

Cyborg soldier in the service of the corporation Arasaka, sent to hunt for a chip that was stolen V and Jackie. "Item needed return, and thieves - eliminate' is his task.
Fight strategy and reward
The fight with Smesher will be not easy (and what did you want at the end of the game?) and for this reason, you need to think about what the hero should have at the ready. For this fight, the Wotpack editors advise taking the following set weapons:
- revolver;
- Assault rifle;
- sniper rifle.
The reason for such an arsenal is simple - each weapon uses different types of ammunition, so you need to try to hit right on target so that they do not run out ahead of time.
How will the fight go? At first, Adam will only use melee attacks. It is enough to shoot off his right hand so that he stops doing it. Then Smesher will switch to the use of a grenade launcher located behind his back. He shoots often, so you need to move constantly. While the volleys are charging, you can deal damage to him from the weapon used by V.
When his health drops to a decent level, he will start calling minions. On average, they have enough one or two grenades, and then you can return to Smesher. He, although he has a lot of health, but after a couple of blows sword his defense starts to weaken.
In the future, when repeating actions, the boss will become completely defenselesswhich will make him an easy target and he will fall death of the brave.
Each of the bosses is interesting in its own way and can be revealed from several sides if you know how to act. We hope you will find it easier to deal with them now.

The plastid will not enter the mini room you are leaving from
And all you have to do is go out, shoot, retreat, heal, and everything from the beginning, although he shot me a couple of times with one TC playing on Max difficulty level
You don't have to fight Placid.
When the Network Watch agent offers to negotiate, you must not accept his offer. And then go back to the chapel and hit Placid. After all the other events, when V leaves the chapel, Placid will stand near the door, you can talk to him, but there will be no fight, V will just calmly walk out the door.
You can not fight Sasquatch if you pass the mall without raising the alarm, and then sneak past her
What about Placidus? I didn't kill him, I just knocked him out. And after some time a message came from him
Be careful on the streets.
and after
Error 7363: The user is inactive
Am I the only one who had to kill him twice? First here, and then during the change of power. Understood nothing…
The quest with Oswald "Dubman" Forrest at the first meeting can also be solved peacefully with a high level of intelligence, like or technology, I don’t remember exactly, it should be about 12. A dialogue appears like: your software is shit and I can tell you how to do it better.
If for the first time you disagree with him peacefully, then you must kill him during another quest to change power in the "Clouds"
Thank you for the addition, I added information to the article 🙂
The surest way to defeat Matilda K. Rose (Sasquatch) without too much strain is to start the fight with a Mobility Disorder hack. And while this mega-woman is sitting, come up and shoot a regenerating satchel on her back with a rifle or a submachine gun. Then just run, keeping your distance. You may not even shoot very much. And then again Impaired Motor Skills and already finish off. Keep in mind that this wrestler has a vulnerability to fire, and she burns very quickly. Weapons with additional fire damage (I used the Fenrir submachine gun, for example) set it on fire and kill it very quickly
backpack? I thought it was because of the high difficulty, but for fun I beat her with Vstanislav Shishkin
If you fulfill one of the orders to eliminate the criminal (somewhere on the roof in Chinatown, a slum), then an additional option will open in the dialogue ("-Do you know (such and such a guy)? -Yes, he is already dead. -Yes, after that, let's say an unsuccessful meeting with me… You don’t want to repeat his fate, do you?” He will give out information, and the quest will end peacefully, everyone will disperse.
This is an alternative in the quest with "Oswald "Dubman" Forrest"
Thank you for the addition, I added information to the passage on your behalf 🙂
This guy is Jotaro Shobo, a sd from the Oh-Oh Club. An order for it can be obtained from Regina. If you killed Jotaro, then, indeed, in a dialogue with Dubman, you can scare him with this.
