Best loadout for Stan boss fight in South Park Snow Day
Before starting the third mission, you’ll need to equip yourself to properly deal with Stan and the waves of enemies standing in your way. The best weapons to deal with enemies in this mission are the Sword and Shield and wand.

The sword slash melee attack deals heavy damage with just a few hits. Holding the melee attack button raises the shield for protection if Stan manages to get close, and it absorbs the damage from the bullets of his cannons. With the Wand, you’ll be able to blast Stan with powerful flame attacks, especially if you upgraded it during the mission.
When you meet Jimmy between areas, pick up Wand upgrades such as Blast Wave or napalm. Blast Wave doubles the attack range while reducing cooldown, and Napalm leaves fire shards for extra damage.
As for Powers, go for the Snow Turret and the Bubble Shield, where the former helps you deal damage by avoiding hits and the latter shields you from Stan’s heavy attacks. Try updating the turret with Flaming Balls or Last Blast to cause further damage to Stan.
Finally, it’s time to choose your BS power. I recommend choosing Laser Eyes, Summon Minionsor Invisibility depending on your draw. Laser Eyes are a great way to deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time, while Summon Minions help you overwhelm Stan and keep him focused on destroying your minions. The Invisibility BS is also a good choice to heal if there are no Cheesy Poofs nearby.

After equipping your character with the appropriate weapons and power-ups, it’s time to learn how to approach the Stan boss fight. In the first part of the battle, you will have to take out Stan’s shields by blowing them up with cannonballs. You’ll find them scattered across the map, but wearing them makes you vulnerable to his attacks.
Stan’s dragon device will blow you away fire waves, and to protect yourself, you’ll need to climb to higher ground or take cover behind structures. As soon as the Dragon’s head lights up, drop the bullet and find cover to avoid wasting HP. Repeat the process until you have destroyed all three shields.

Afterwards, Stan will drop down from the dragon’s head and power up his two-handed ax using Dark Matter. He will use attacks like ax throws to reach you and your distant allies, and ground strikes to damage anyone nearby. Try to anticipate his attack, avoid sprinting and be ready to dodge and jump out of the attack zones. Stanjo will also use Berserker Ragea spinning ax attack that cuts down anyone in its path.
Your best strategy is to attack Stan until your Pised Off meter charges and generate Snow Turrets provide covering fire. Often Stan will focus on destroying the turrets, giving you and your allies a chance to strike together. If you have some BS saved, now is the time to use it. Eventually, his health bar will drop, and you’ll get his Two-Handed Axe.
