The Neighborhood Watcher Boss Guide - Three Actions Every Turn

The Neighborhood Watch sign strapped over a face is Elderfield’s dark joke about suburbia — and the stat block underneath is a dark joke about turn-based combat: three Action Points per turn, the only documented enemy that acts more than once.

Where does the Neighborhood Watcher fight happen?

The second tier sits in parentheses on the wiki with no documented trigger — a difficulty scale, a phase, or a mode difference the strategy section has not recorded yet. Plan for the higher tier; the lower one is a subset of it.

How do you beat the Neighborhood Watcher?

• Multiply its offense by three. 16/16 per action is modest; 48 damage per turn-round is not. The combat guide’s usual “check the weakness, win the trade” math needs a 3× factor on the incoming side — bring more healing than the stat block looks like it demands.
• Light is still the lever. Insight-element, Light weakness — the same coverage as the Silly Dog across Town. Against the second tier’s 39/39 even defenses, weakness hits are the only documented damage edge.
• It is fast on top of everything. 16 Agility (22 in the second tier) means it likely opens the fight — and then acts twice more. Tempo recovery, not tempo racing, is the play: this is the fight the retreat rule exists for.

What does clearing the Neighborhood Watcher get you?

No achievement and no drops are documented. On the Town danger scale it sits between the Silly Dog’s straightforward 300 HP and the News Event surges — see the achievements guide for which fights actually pay milestones.
