Overview
Steven is a recurring boss encountered in three escalating forms across the game. His HP values follow a quadrupling pattern: 4 HP (Phase 1), 16 HP (Phase 2), and 64 HP (Phase 3). Steven appears at multiple points in progression, growing dramatically stronger with each rematch. He is also encountered as part of the pre-fight before Soahc in The Rift, alongside Organ Grinder.
Phase 1 (4 HP)
The first encounter with Steven is essentially a tutorial fight. He has very low HP and serves as an introduction to his mechanics without threatening your party. Defeat him quickly and note any special abilities he uses, as they will recur in stronger forms.
Phase 2 (16 HP)
The second encounter is a moderate threat. With 16 HP he can survive two or three rounds of focused fire. His abilities from Phase 1 are more dangerous here, and he may have new attack patterns.
Phase 3 (64 HP)
The third encounter is a genuine boss fight. With 64 HP and fully escalated mechanics, Steven requires real preparation. He also appears in The Rift as a pre-fight alongside Organ Grinder before the Soahc encounter, so you may face him at this power level as part of a multi-stage fight where resource conservation matters.
