Mountain Bandit Boss

Learn the stats, weaknesses, and strategies to defeat the formidable Mountain Bandit Boss in Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Conquer Calradia!

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Skills: One Handed (120), Two Handed (50), Polearm (50), Bow (60), Crossbow (20), Throwing (150), Riding (80), Athletics (150).
• Weaknesses: While they excel in Throwing and Athletics, their lower scores in Two Handed, Polearm, and Crossbow suggest these might be less effective against them. Their high One Handed skill means they can still dish out significant damage up close.

Phases:

1. Initial Encounter: The boss will likely engage with their superior throwing weapons or close-quarters combat if you get too near.
2. Melee Engagement: Once you close the distance, they will rely on their high One Handed skill.

Strategy:

• Close the Gap: Their throwing skill is their biggest threat at range. Use terrain or your own troops to shield yourself as you advance.
• Engage in Melee: Once you're in close combat, focus on parrying their attacks and looking for openings to strike. Their high One Handed skill means you need to be defensive but also aggressive when the opportunity arises.
• Utilize Your Strengths: If you have a strong melee character or troops, this is where you'll want to bring them to bear. If you're a ranged character, try to bait them into engaging your melee troops first.
• Watch Their Athletics: Their high Athletics skill means they can close distance quickly or evade attacks, so be prepared for rapid movements.
