Beat Biography:
A living legend. Madam Bouffant has had an incredible career. Topping the charts more times than any other music act. She had hoped to raise her 4 sons into an unstoppable boy band. However, that fell apart due to relentless sibling rivalries. Hadley is her favorite child and she makes no effort to hide this.
Guide
To find Madam Bouffant's lair, you have to navigate through Claire's Hair by choosing the lower right exit at the first junction, then exit to the north and cross the braid bridging above the path leading to The Wet Beak.
Before fighting Madam Bouffant, defeating her boys can lower the difficulty of the legendary fight. The boys mostly apply bar and measure effects and each of them has one special attack:
- Beakbox Beatdown – B.K. Boxxa applies Fortify to the enemy's bar and deals damage
- The Dire Squawk – Diresquawk applies four measures of Mad Pain to the player's bar
- Violent Vocal – Zeen deals heavy damage
- Grand Croon – Hadley applies four measures of Haste to the enemy's bar and deals damage
The legendary fight has two phases: the summoning and the performance. During the summoning, Madam Bouffant mostly uses her boys' abilities – not defeating the boys beforehand allows her to use their special attacks which makes the fight more challenging.
Trivia
- Madam and her sons are most certainly based on the Andean cocks-of-the-rock.
- The Andean cock's-of-the-rock closest relatives — the Guianan cocks-of-the-rock — can be seen playing daldøs in the Deathbulge comic #231. However, they we're erroneously described as being Guinean cocks-of-the-rock, and their design more closely resembles the aforementioned Andean cocks-of-the-rock.
- Fighting and defeating Madam Bouffant unlocks The Diva Dance achievement – which pays hommage to the song of the same name from Luc Besson's The Fifth Element.
- She can be spotted multiple times in the game:
- on a picture in the apartment of Platinum Scrumptious who consider her to be a big inspiration
- in Porf's favourite TV programme
- on a painting on deck 6 of The Bus
