OverviewEdit

“

The Boss Fight you know and love has been upgraded! This is the first of a number of exciting fighting features coming to Mafia Wars this quarter! In this Boss Fight, you’ll be tasked with taking out Roughhouse Rafael, and you’re given one week to do it!

A full week of fighting?... Sounds like only those with high stamina will survive. On the contrary, stamina has nothing to do with this fight! Instead, you will need to collect 4 new ammos from jobs, wars, robbing, and, should you choose, gifting to bring down Roughhouse.

As for the new ammos, our informants tell us that it would be unwise to assume that any one ammo is the best and use it the whole time. Apparently, the ammos, when used in certain sequences, unlock particularly damaging combos! You will have the opportunity to discover one such combo by completing a Quest Event that will run during the Boss Fight. Other combos, you will have to discover on your own or via your friends’ feeds, if they beat you to the punch.

Get ready, ‘cause only the roughest and toughest will win this Boss Fight!

“

That's Sam Hadwick, former strong-arm for Roughhouse Rafael. He's got some insider info on how to take down his past boss, including where to get some neccessary ammo. And hey, still having trouble finding that third combo - the red one? Sam can help with that too. So go complete his mission; it's the only way you're going to nab Roughhouse's Asphalt Assault Motorcycle.

RE Rafael Boss Fight. I just realized even though I beat Rafael & found all ammo combo that I did not get credit on the achievement. Crap....So is all lost to earn this achievement or is he coming back????

April 16 by A Wikia contributor
please.... back with raphael mission... I missed it

October 28, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
Where the hell did Rafael go? He's suddenly missing from my operations and I was close to winning the 3rd lvl. Is he coming back ?

June 2, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

Available to May 17, 2011.. LOL
some ppl are just blind

April 5 by A Wikia contributor

Please post combos when you find them! Thanks!

May 25, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
didn't get to use the red combo, so the achievement rafael boss' weak is now non-achievable

May 19, 2011 by The baddest assasin
Whatever, the knuckles were impossible for me to drop anyways.

May 19, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
I havent seen the even since the first day, havent even been able to fight it... >:/

May 18, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
And what more - why the items for fight still are looting when the event is over? What for ???

May 18, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
It's shit! Zynga should DO SOMETHING with the bugs... Yesterday the timer showed almost 3 days and today is OVER ??? Pfff.... BUG BUG ZYNGA BUG !!!

May 18, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

Mine said 5days yesterday :S refreshed after each mastery tier, so messed up!

May 18, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

Yesterday timer was showing 3days left and today its over I was almost there to earn Gold Mastery...

May 18, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
Seems they stuck to the original schedule and the in-game timer was bugged.

May 17, 2011 by Karmakula

Man... How frickin' disappointing is that!?!?!? Grrrr....

May 17, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
I know, I thought I had time and could have done it if I knew!

May 18, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

Oh ffs, i only had to do 1750 damage to him and i would have gotten gold mastery.. Another bullshitmove by zynga if you ask me..

May 17, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

true true

May 17, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

Where the hell did Rafael go? He's suddenly missing from my operations and doesn't show up in my scroll.

May 17, 2011 by Brianunderscorelewis
Event disappeard and later... will be back, with full health! FUCK OFF, ZYNGA!!!

May 17, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
The timer was wrong on my account the entire time!!! I wrote Zynga and received a reply we had ALL DAY today to finish the fight, so I was waiting ON PURPOSE to unlock the 3rd combo (which after several days & several level ups, and trying ALL the ideas offered here by others, I STILL never dropped the 5 knife slashes!!!!). I have almost 2,000 stam and about 2300 energy. BULLCRAP!!!!! And some UNKNOWN contributor spoke of Pateince??? "Friends, these missions are easy. Don't be nervous and of course try to be patient :-) 1 day ago by A Wikia contributor"
what a friggin joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 17, 2011 by Tgijenna
this morning i had 5 days left..... now the event is over? wth???

May 17, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
Weird. My timer states that I have just under five days left to kill him, yet this article states it is available until March 17th.

May 17, 2011 by Akule

i have the same question. i just started a gold mastery and even with US time there should be less than 1 day left at this point. But "Boss escapes in:" says 7 days.. I'm not sure if it is worth spending some effort on this.

May 17, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
Go by whatever it says in-game, we all know Zynga often extend events when they see fit.

May 17, 2011 by Karmakula

i already defeated him so i cant get the achevment i got the green combo and the yellow i tried the red without the mission it allows it but wont do it because the game knows you cheated so for those of you asking that kinda ? for get it

May 17, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

If you have finished the boss, and the missions, then you can contact Zynga Support and they should give you the achievement (if it doesn't auto complete for you). This will likely not be the case in the future, but since they did not inform people before hand and many completed the boss before the missions were even available they have been doing so for others so far.

Rafael Boss' Weak In Progress (2/3) how can i find ammo number 3 help me :)

May 16, 2011 by HORAS

The Red Combo must be unlocked by doing the Missions.

May 16, 2011 by Karmakula

It sticks me on Associate Tier to get knife slashes, and I've not got one since the mission was released. Today I've tried the "Sell Guns" job all day and still not got a single one. Wtf?

May 16, 2011 by A Wikia contributor

The last 2 tiers in Brazil have the best drop rates (since they use more energy), and using the Lockpict crew member will also help. If you have access to those jobs.

May 16, 2011 by Karmakula

I completed the 2nd part of mission where you get the code - and then use the code. But didnt get the acheivement. Do I need to do something else?

May 16, 2011 by A Wikia contributor
0 for 40 tries in Sell Guns to the Russian Mob to get a knife slash. Give me a break.
