 * Tragic Monster:.
 * "Wake-Up Call" Boss: Several of the later bosses in 2 are capable of killing you in a few combos, though Belial is likely the first one that will give you trouble, as it spams heal when low on life, and the only way to finish it is to skill rush him (provided you've been upgrading them), or equip the DLC weapons..
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: Schuenzeit  and his cronies want to keep Lanzheim prosperous, but seem to have no problem with committing countless atrocities to keep it that way..
