This is my first FAQ at www.gamefaqs.com (or anywhere for that matter),
so I decided to tackle something pretty easy. This is a FAQ for all of
the bosses in Blood Omen 2 for the Xbox. This should help you if you
are stuck on a certain boss. These are only strategies, so I assume
that you already have a basic knowledge of how to play Blood Omen 2. I
have broken up each boss battle into multiple stages. Enjoy!

Faustus is the first boss you will encounter in the game. He was once a
legionnaire in your army, but now he is a traitor.
This boss fight consists of three stages and takes place in two rooms.
You will earn the "Jump" Dark Gift from Faustus once you defeat him.

This stage of the battle takes place in a small circular room. There is
no real need to use your surroundings. This battle is hand-to-hand
combat.
Faustus uses a wide variety of attacks. Sometimes he will hit you with
a five hit combo that ends in a yellow super punch. Other times he will
strike you only once and then follow up with a yellow super punch. He
will even dodge your attacks and then go right into an UNBLOCKABLE red
jump kick. Also, he will often dodge your attacks and flip over you so
that your back is turned to him. When he does this, just press the
block button when he tries to attack you. You will automatically face
in his direction if you successfully block his next attack.
Equip your "Fury" Dark Gift, and begin blocking as many of his hits as
you can to charge up your "Rage Meter". Once you are glowing red, hit
him with a Fury attack by pressing the "B" button. If you see him
getting ready to do a red jump kick, always dodge it by holding left or
right on the analog stick and pressing "A".
Luckily, you will only have to take away about one eighth of his life.
Keep hitting him with Fury attacks, and eventually Faustus will run
through a hole on the second floor of the room. A door will open on the
first floor. When you are ready, follow him to the next stage.
