 To prevent large difficulty swings, boss stats are scaled to be close to the stats of the boss that is being replaced. However, this is a very loose scaling with a fair degree of variance, and some attacks do not scale well -- MegaNuke is devastating no matter where you encounter it.  Save often! To prevent large difficulty swings, boss stats are scaled to be close to the stats of the boss that is being replaced.

 +===== Free bosses =====
 +
 +The D.Knight, Waterhag, Karate, and K/Q Eblan fights have scripted alternate win conditions. Enabling ''Bnofree'' removes these alternate conditions, meaning these bosses must be defeated outright. Since Waterhag's scripted fight adds HP to try and emulate the vanilla Waterhag fight, ''Bnofree'' removes this extra HP, so the Waterhag will have the same HP as a standard single boss in a given location.
 +
 +Some enemies in boss fights do not have the "boss bit" set (for example, enemies within the Fabul Gauntlet). The boss bit prevents status conditions, instant death effects, etc. from applying, meaning that these weaker enemies can be more easily defeated by these effects. The ''Bnofree'' flag also applies the boss bit to all enemies found in boss fights.
 +
 +Note that due to technical limitations, if playing with the alt gauntlet, the boss bit will not be applied to the enemies in the alt gauntlet battles.  (See [[#alt gauntlet]] for more information about the alt gauntlet.)
