Lambert Heisenberg

**Lambert Heisenberg** is a Thanager in the Addictions Dept. of Death Inc., and a mini-boss in *Have a Nice Death*.

## Description

**Lambert Heisenberg - Chemist Thanager**

With his remarkably logical brain, Dr. Lambert Heisenberg is notable among mortals for his ability to pass for what he is not. During the 60s, he served as a psychiatric researcher at Ashecliffe, mixing theories and smoking injunctions about psychopharmacology. Sorcerer, charlatan, and architect of lies, the doctor has a very impressive CV, hypocritically extolling his virtues, to justify his place as Thanager in the Addictions Department.

Heisenberg amused himself by accumulating tricks. In a simple spirit of contradiction, he used chemical strategies to delay the fated hour of his death as much as possible. He co-directed drug traffic for many years, wrote an autobiography entitled *I AM DANGER* to mock his colleagues about antibiotics and generics, pretending that he was the only one competent to offer humans immortality! Nice claim! But in the end, too much rapamycin is still *too much rapamycin*, and he had to stop one day.

"Did I know Dr. Corvusini, you ask? Obviously! I admire his work. A great visionary. A few centuries closer, and we would have worked together. I seriously considered the Physical Illness Department, but the Addictions Department offered me a greater range of possibilities. I'm very happy to work here because I have guinea pigs. Did I say '*guinea pigs*'? I meant 'clients', or 'patients'. What's important is that I see the *Phasis anomaly project* through." *- Dr. Heisenberg, when asked about psychopharmacology*.

## Appearance

Lambert Heisenberg appears as a typical lab scientist, wearing a white lab coat along with a surgical mask and tinted glass. The arms of his coat fold up to his shoulders and hide his hands, akin to a straitjacket. His arms are released and hands revealed during his syringe attack and when he eats his medicine. Beneath his lab coat is a black, sleeveless undershirt, also revealed during his syringe attack.

Heisenberg has a round teeth which can be seen beneath his surgical mask, which become pointed when he eats medicine. He also has a large head, most likely from his large "logical brain", which expands and explodes when he is defeated.

## Mini-Boss Battle Attacks

* Medicine: Throughout the fight, Heisenberg can eat a variety of medicines. These will give him a variety of benefits for a short amount of time depending on which one he eats.
	+ Rectangular Tablet: Periodically, a burst explosion with a radiation symbol that deals damage will emit from Heisenberg.
	+ Oval Tablet: Heisenberg's attacks deal double damage.
	+ Round Tablet: Heisenberg's speed and attacks are considerably faster.

* Syringe Barrage: Heisenberg opens his lab coat, sending out syringes that fly and home in on the player. These syringes have the ability to curve slightly.

* Basic Kick Combo: Heisenberg lifts a leg, then does a single kick, followed by a double kick, and ending with another single kick. Each part of the combo goes forward more than the last, and Heisenberg can change direction in between each part as well.

* Flying Kicks: Heisenberg does a small jump into the air, and then kicks across the stage.

* Hurricane Kick: Heisenberg stomps on the ground a few times, before spinning upwards into the air and then diagonally towards the player.

## Strategy

Since many of Heisenberg's attacks are done on the ground, many can be dodged by utilizing the scythe's upward attack and well timed dashes. While his moves can be very fast-paced, having patience and waiting until the few seconds after them to attack greatly reduces the risk of losing health.

His kick combo and flying kicks are restricted to the ground, so moving to the upper part of the screen makes for an easy dodge. His hurricane kick can be avoided by going as far as possible to the opposite side of the screen, and can be dodged with extra safety by going up into one of the upper corners depending on where he starts. His syringes can be dodged by using the scythes upper attack when they get close, and then dashing towards him while in the air, as the syringes cannot curve enough and will hit the ceiling. If he is close to the wall and facing it, the attack can be dodged by dashing through him, as they will hit the wall and be destroyed.

When he is using his medicine attack, it is easy to get a lot of damage done to him if he does not have the explosion effect, as he will not attack while he is eating it otherwise.

## Trivia

* Lambert Heisenberg's last name is a reference to "Breaking Bad" where the main character, Walter White, used "Heisenberg" as a nickname. His first name, "Mr. Lambert", is also a reference to the new identity that Walt uses in the finale.
