"TERMINA IS UPON US!"
- After brutally killing sickle villager.

The Woodsman is a boss encountered in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina.

Lore

A woodsman from Prehevil who resides in the Abandoned House. Though little is known about his past, it is implied he had some part in the exile of Prehevil's destitute population to its Old Town district, which the Wretched Being in the Old Town - Slums wants revenge on him for.

The wall writings in the basement of his house, and the Woodsman's letter shows he had a bad relationship with his wife, to the point where she cheated on him with a goat. At some point, he murdered her, ultimately planning suicide before he was interrupted by the beginning of the Termina festival.

By the event of the game, the Woodsman has flown into a murderous rage, attacking anyone who approaches on sight. At some point, his phallus has morphed into some sort of parasite, which is able to detach from his body and attack independently.

Talking to the Woodsman while in a fight will reveal that the Woodsman is not as crazy as the rest of the villagers, but is still hostile.

Location

He is found on the way towards Old Town at the beginning of the game, hacking up a villager's head. After he screams about the Termina festival being upon them, he begins to wander around. It is then that he can begin to chase the player, if they are within his vicinity.

If the player sleeps in the Woodsman's house while he is still alive, he will come to the bed and initiate a fight.

Strategy

Fear & Hunger Mode

The woodsman can be an extremely dangerous enemy to fight early on. The main source of damage from the is his axe-wielding arm, which has a relatively high amount of HP and can cut off limbs with ease. He uses his other hand to bash, and also has a unique, parasitic appendage on his crotch, which has a chance to fly off and place itself on the player character's face if they fail a coin flip. The player character will be immobilized and the woodsman will be left with free turns to defeat the player.

It is recommended to avoid the Woodsman entirely at start, and only encounter him with enough party members or useful items and spells. However, some starting abilities such as magic attacks are more effective to hit the Woodsman's head.

Dialogues

Battle start

The woodsman approaches you ominously. There is silent rage in his eyes. A sense of terror fills the air.
- Player: “Hold on! I don't want to start a fight!”
  - Your words are in vain. The woodsman is clearly out for blood.
- Player: “"What is going on here!?”
  - Your words are in vain. The woodsman is clearly out for blood.
- Player: “I'm ready to defend myself, just so you know.”
  - Your words are in vain. The woodsman is clearly out for blood.

Talk

Woodsman: “Leave stranger. The town has got enough vermin...”
- Player: [PERSUADE] “I have no intentions of staying. Just stay back and I'll leave.”
  - Woodsman: “... Leave! Now! Before I bury this hatchet in your skull...” The woodsman seems to be waiting for your initiative... (+Hesitation)
  - If repeated:
  - Woodsman: “You had your chance... You had your chance you fool!” (-Hesitation)
- Player: [INTIMIDATE] “Where I go is none of your business.”
  - Woodsman: “I have warned you, you miserable weasel...” You seem to have made the woodsman furious. (+Furious)
- Player: “I'd love to leave but don't know how...”
  - Woodsman: “Leave - now! Don't you understand!?”
    - Player: “I told you, I'd leave if I could!”
      - Woodsman: “Filthy outsider! You'll leave in a body bag then!”
    - Player: “Understand what?”
      - Woodsman: “It's... the festival of Termina! No one here is going to see the morning sun!”
    - Player: “...”
- Player: “I won't leave without your head.”
  - Woodsman: “Miserable rat. My hatchet will settle this.” Your threats don't seem to work on the woodsman...
- Player: Nevermind

Some kind of outside force has altered his looks and strength. The genitalia is especially curious case. From a first glance the obvious conclusion would be that a parasite attached itself there, but on a closer inspection it might actually be some kind of an unnatural growth malformation. Despite the appearance, the physique of this man is pretty close to a normal, rather large person. His body seems to be weak against piercing, blunt and otherwordly attacks.” If Daan is in the party: “The malformations on this man's face look violent and recent.

A special event will trigger if the player character jumps into the well while both the Woodsman and Tanaka are alive.

While usually a game over, screaming for help will result in Tanaka rushing over to help, which will get him beheaded and thrown into the well by the woodsman. However, in an unexpected turn of events, the Woodsman throws down a rope to help the player ecape. After exiting, he will be seen laying by the tree, staring in the distance. He will not chase or attack while in this state.

At this point, he can be interacted with once with no consequences, but he will give a warning to "leave, or die". Further attempts to interact with him will result in him turning hostile again. Sleeping in his bed will also prompt him to attack as usual.

No attempts will be made to help the player out of the well if either Tanaka or the Woodsman are dead.

Trivia

The phallic shaped parasite and the way it functions via forcing tentacles down the player character's throats are reminiscent of Facehugger aliens from the Alien series.
In the data files, the parasite is labelled as a crab. Miro states that it is named after the Headcrabs from the Half-Life series.
