| Description | |
| Unlike other highly dangerous Ethereals, the Ether within the Dead End Butcher's body often remains in a low-activity dormant state but possesses immense brute strength capable of demolishing any obstacle, and the entire twisted and ravaged metro zone serves as its off-limits kitchen. Within moments, the high concentration of Ether stored in its body undergoes a violent transformation and the exponentially surging energy prompts its limbs to quickly distort, assuming a more brutal and voracious "feeding stance". | |
Dead End Butcher is the original version of this boss type. It's weak to Ice and Ether, so you can use characters like Ellen or Nicole when fighting it.
How to Unlock Dead End Butcher
Unlock by Completing [Investigation] Early Bird Ticket to Safety
Dead End Butcher can be unlocked after the completion of [Investigation] Earlybird Ticket to Safety in Chapter 1.

Tip 1: Utilize Perfect Assist
The majority of Dead End Butcher's attacks can easily be telegraphed. Perfect Dodge and Perfect Assist can be utilized to nullify its attacks, so feel free to weave them in while performing attacks of your own.
Tip 2: Second Phase
Once Dead End Butcher's HP is completely depleted, it will transform, and the second phase of the fight will begin. The Perfect Dodge and Assist windows will be shorter the second time around, but the same strategy still works.
Tip 3: Exploit Its Weaknesses
Dead End Butcher is weak against Ice and Ether, so Agents such as Ellen will perform well against it.
