Graven Morhead

"*That's just the way she blows*"
―Graven Morhead, making a pun upon his name.

## Description

Graven Morhead is a member of the Lovelies. He wears a hood with a hat underneath it and has a red strap that goes across his chest and abdomen. He carries two small pistols in his hands. His hood, hat, and mask are splattered with blood, presumably from a victim of his.

He is encountered in Area 1, but is unable to be fought until Area 4 where he is a potentially optional battle, although he and his companions are mandatory on the Rodriguez Route.

## Strategy (Rodriguez Route)

* This is easily one of the hardest, if not THE hardest fight in the game. 3 of the 4 lovelies have attacks which target everyone, meaning that if you aren't constantly keeping your health up, you and your gang will fall very quickly. Dillon Doe is capable of stunning your teammates with his Club Strike attack, Jason Boosee favors using his Big Swing, and Justin Heras has relatively high health and can inflict damage over time through bleed and has access to Grope, which lowers your attack and defense. Graven Morehead himself has 2 firebomb moves, making the fight even harder as the fire damage alongside the bleed may negate any passive healing and can cause you to lose more health than is manageable. Even if you decided to recruit Reginald, it is very unlikely he will be of much help, as he will fall extremely quickly to the brutal attacks no thanks to his brittle nature. You will be outnumbered 4 to 3 if you opted not to recruit him, however.
* Graven and Jason are the two highest priority targets of this fight, due to them favoring moves which target all your teammates. If you decide to try and use Beltboy's Intimidate, target whichever one was not intimidated; if neither of them were intimidated, focus on Graven, as he is the bigger threat.
* After Graven and Jason have been taken out, focus on Dillon, as he also has Big Swing and can still stun you with his Club Strike. You should have no issue dealing with Justin afterwards, as alone he is very weak.
* Make sure to use your strongest moves up to this point, and if Beltboy has access to his Akimbo Fingers, it may be worth considering equipping the Weirdass Arsenal, as it will make quick work of all 4 lovelies. Rodriguez's Do Something! will be helpful for boosting damage and negating the effects of weird, should Justin use Grope. It will also heal your team a slight bit.
* Do NOT use Cyclops' Slippery Bastard, as Graven will make even faster work of him than before.

## Trivia

* His name is an Innuendo on "Craving More Head"
* He used to share a sprite with Ludd Blaster, who was redesigned to have a appearance like that of John James Rambo.
* For whatever reason, the sprite seen in the first encounter and the Sportsdome encounter of the Lovelies on the normal route use his older sprite. This is likely an oversight, as he is seen later on in Area 4, where his sprite is correct.
