Wellu000 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So there is one way to get most of the bosses alive even when they have full stamina. I tried this strategy on McGee and it worked. You need to shoot a skunk near enemy (or hit it with it) and when it starts coughing press square to catch it. Pressing square must be well-timed though but shouldn't be that hard. I used this at 2 bosses cause they were too hard for me to catch alive normally. So this helped me to get Mo' Moolah and platinum in just one play-through. PS: I hope no one posts comments like this "U cheated noob!!!11", I'm not the first one to do this but I'm not sure if anyone here knew that so I'll gladly share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Just to confirm, you captured bounties alive on Hard by only throwing a Skunkz at them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellu000 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Yeah, well it doesn't work on every boss but most of them I guess. Throw a skunkz and immediately (or a little bit before it) when enemy starts coughing, catch it. I don't remember exact time when you must press square but it worked almost every time I had to do it. EDIT: I got 2 bosses alive by using this method, McGee and Lefty. McGee was too hard and I failed at Lefty fight and wasn't able to get his stamina down anymore.

Yulfy Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I've been using this on most bosses - works really well, just fire off the skunk and quickly press the capture button. Thanks for the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digiboy123 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 A legit way to play, sounds like. Not glitching or cheating in any way. I'll probably do this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jooles Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Confirmed. Just beat (killed) Packrat on Hard and started over to try this. At the end of his health (or if you mine him) he goes down from his platform; run up in his face, shoot a Skunk then hold Square (I didn't even bother to see if he started coughing, it was an instant L1 to Square). Thanks, Well! Edited September 17, 2012 by Jooles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devotheus Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Won't work on Packrat Palooka on the 1st stage apparently... tried it, and no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misantropus Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I can confirm it works on every boss on Hard except Elboze Freely. A few of them are tricky, though, sometimes I had to throw 2 or 3 skunks for it to work. Edited January 10, 2013 by Misantropus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbuu3 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Did this on Packrat Palooka on hard I shot him with boombats until he fell and shot him with a skunk immediately pressed square and i caught him this saved me a lto of time as even on normal this guy was troublesome. I didn't even lay fuzzles, so i dunno if thats messing some people up when trying it on him. Good luck guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Playing through the Vita version now. Tried it against McGraw and didn't work. Maybe I wasn't quick enough? I'm fine playing through the first half of the game again anyway as I love it to bits. EDIT: Definitely not working for me on the Vita.

simonp92 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Thanks to this tip, I got every boss alive. Althrough it doesn't work on Elbooze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattigummi Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) This seems to be very random whether it works or not. I got Jo Mammas, McGraw and McGee with this method, however, it didn't work with McGee until the 12th skunk I threw. And now, after throwing over 40 skunks at Lefty, I've decided to do it just normally lol. But anyway great find, and thanks for sharing.

LaochEire Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Just want to say a big thanks to the OP. This 100% works on all bosses except the obvious one and I was able to get the 20k very easily on Hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knoxville363 Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Im assuming you had to buy the skunks? I have not seen them since the tutorial. I am only on boilz booty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Im assuming you had to buy the skunks? I have not seen them since the tutorial. I am only on boilz booty. They appear later in the game for you to hunt like any other ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 3 boom bats and 4 skunkz! All I did was get the dude off his high roof, on the floor, position and hit him away from the doors he wants to get to, and standing literally next to palooka when he is down I skunked him and pressed square soon as! You know how much ammo I had used!! 1 of each! Easy as pie guys keep trying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaxn101 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 This method really saved my ass on defeating Packrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcz Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Working on most of bosses for me. I just saved before the boss fight then got close to them and spam Stunkz and Square. I dont know how it works but took some bosses just 2-4 Stunkz and they fainted. This is my xp from Vita version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuri03042 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 You don't need to time the square button, just hold it the entire time and if you are eligible to capturing, you will. Capturing with the spider or this works for some bosses and not for others. If you try both and can't get it to work, just kill the bounty. There are more than enough captures in the game for the 20k trophy without anyone needing to spam this until they glitch a frame and capture a bounty they weren't supposed to.
