## Other Information

### Form of

Jack Fain

**"***Was that thing holding my valve?***"**
— **Henry upon first encountering Swollen Jack,*Bendy and the Ink Machine: Chapter 2***

**Swollen Jack** is a minor antagonist appearing in *Chapter 2* of *Bendy and the Ink Machine*. As the monster form of Jack Fain himself, he is one of the victims of Joey Drew Studios corrupted by unknown circumstances with ink before Henry returned back to the abandoned studio 30 years later.

## Bestiary

### Description

Swollen Jack's appearance is almost the same as a Swollen Searcher's, hence his name. The main difference is that Swollen Jack is still wearing the bowler hat he usually wore back as a human being.

### Behavior

As a monster, Jack lost his vocal abilities, only making groaning sounds like the rest of the Swollen Searchers. He will always dive into the ink and teleport to other places as soon as Henry approaches him.

### Strategy

Henry must lure him underneath the utility lift shaft while the wooden pallet is raised, and then abruptly lower it onto him, killing him.

It should be noted that using the axe against Swollen Jack is ineffective because he constantly has a chance to pop away to another location.

## Appearances

### *Bendy and the Ink Machine*

#### *Chapter 2: The Old Song*

He first appears in the flooded sewers behind some breakable boards, holding the valve wheel Henry needs to stop the ink flow in front of Sammy's office before popping away upon approaching.

As Henry chases him, he keeps popping away all the way to the end of the room, where he pops in specific areas every time Henry approaches him. After killing Swollen Jack with the wooden crate, the only thing he leaves behind is his bowler hat and the valve. Obtaining the valve, Henry will apologize that he had to kill him, before remarking how nice Swollen Jack's hat is.

## Trivia

General

* Along with the Projectionist who was formerly Norman Polk, Swollen Jack is one of the few known corrupted workers called by a different name instead of their real name.

*Chapter 2: The Old Song*

* Swollen Jack did not appear in older previous updates of *Chapter 2* before the release of *Chapter 4*.
* Killing Swollen Jack will unlock the "Special Hat" achievement.
* If Swollen Jack teleports to the area where the wooden crate was not lifted up, there is an error causing him to clip the entire crate. The chance of making this to happen is slightly rare, however.
