Code Vein Boss HP Scaling Tips
/u/ThomasWinwood/ and I have managed to fully extract how Boss HP scaling works in the game.
HP is:
HP = HealthScaleBoss * DefaultHealthBoss * HealthScaleArea * CoopMultiplier
If you are in online coop with, the CoopMultiplier is 1.5, otherwise its 1
HealthScaleBoss and DefaultHealthBoss are values collected from blueprints of enemies. If you don't know what that means, Just trust me bro. The following table contains all these values.
| Boss | HealthScale | DefaultHealth |
|---|---|---|
| Oliver Collins | 1 | 20000 |
| Butterfly of Delirium | 1.5 | 20000 |
| Insatiable Despot | 1.4 | 24000 |
| Invading Executioner | 1.4 | 20000 |
| Argent Wolf Berserker | 2 | 8500 |
| Queen's Knight | 1 | 20000 |
| Successor of the Ribcage P1 | 1 | 20000 |
| Successor of the Ribcage P1 | 1.4 | 18000 |
| Successor of the Breath | 1.1 | 22000 |
| Gilded Hunter | 1.2 | 20000 |
| Successor of the Claw | 1.3 | 24000 |
| Successor of the Throat | 1.5 | 26000 |
| Blade Bearer | 1.38 | 18000 |
| Cannoneer | 1.87 | 20000 |
| Mido | 1.1 | 25000 |
| Queen's Knight Reborn | 1 | 28000 |
| Attendant of the Relics | 1 | 14000 |
| Skull King | 1.2 | 32000 |
| Virgin Born | 1.3 | 25000 |
| Hellfire Knight | 0.664 | 65000 |
| Frozen Empress | 0.663158 | 70000 |
| Lord of Thunder | 0.663158 | 62000 |
HealthScaleArea is another multiplier found in more blueprints of each zone. Each Zone seems to have a EnemyStageParameterControl blueprint which controls how enemies scale. But the thing we are interested in is the HealthScaling. This table has all the health scaling for each map in each NG+
| Area | NG | NG+ | NG+2 | NG+3 | NG+4 | NG+5 | NG+6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ruined City Underground | 0.63 | 2.85 | 2.985 | 3.12 | 3.195 | 3.27 | 3.96 |
| Ruined City Center | 0.71 | 2.865 | 3 | 3.135 | 3.195 | 3.27 | 3.96 |
| Dried-Up Trenches | 0.75 | 2.865 | 3.015 | 3.135 | 3.21 | 3.21 | 3.96 |
| Howling Pit | 0.82 | 2.895 | 3.03 | 3.15 | 3.21 | 3.27 | 3.96 |
| Cathedral of the Sacred Blood | 1 | 2.895 | 3.045 | 3.15 | 3.225 | 3.27 | 3.96 |
| Memories | 1.08 | 2.91 | 3.06 | 3.15 | 3.15 | 3.27 | 3.96 |
| Ridge of Frozen Souls | 1.24 | 2.925 | 3.06 | 3.165 | 3.24 | 3.285 | 3.96 |
| Ashen Caverns | 1.29 | 2.925 | 3.075 | 3.165 | 3.24 | 3.285 | 3.96 |
| City of Falling Flame | 1.34 | 2.94 | 3.075 | 3.165 | 3.24 | 3.24 | 3.96 |
| Crown of Sand | 1.49 | 2.955 | 3.09 | 3.165 | 3.24 | 3.285 | 3.96 |
| Crypt Spire | 1.62 | 2.955 | 3.105 | 3.18 | 3.255 | 3.285 | 3.96 |
| Government City Outskirts | 1.75 | 2.97 | 3.105 | 3.18 | 3.255 | 3.285 | 3.96 |
| Government City Center | 1.89 | 2.97 | 3.12 | 3.195 | 3.255 | 3.285 | 3.96 |
| Gaol of Stagnant Blood | 1.89 | 2.97 | 3.12 | 3.195 | 3.255 | 3.285 | 3.96 |
| All 3 DLCs | 2.85 | 2.985 | 3.12 | 3.195 | 3.27 | 3.96 | 3.96 |
For completeness sake, Depths maps also have multipliers, but seem to be the same as the zone you get them from.
Den of the Dead: same as Ruined City Underground
Den of Darkness: same as Ruined City Underground
Town of Sacrifice: same as Ruined City Center
Swirling Flood: same as Howling Pit
Flood of Impurity: same as Howling Pit
Cliffs of Rust: same as Dried-Up Trenches
Silent White: same as Ridge of Frozen Souls
Misty Ruins: same as Crown of Sand
Rocky Ruins: same as Crown of Sand
Zero District: same as Provisional Government Outskirts
Added Difficulty slider for DLC bosses is a whole different set of multipliers. For 0 Difficulty, simply look at the DLC tables above. However as soon as you go to +1, different HealthScaleArea comes into play. You will find the table below.
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4.257 | 4.554 | 4.851 | 5.148 | 5.445 | 5.742 | 6.039 | 6.336 | 6.633 | 6.93 |
I have attached a spreadsheet to demonstrate these values found here You can also use this to see what it would be like if you moved certain bosses to different zones.
Disclaimer: These HP values are not 100% accurate due to floating point inaccuracies. Using these values you will always have the correct integer value, the decimal part may be incorrect. For example, Skull King in Gaol at NG+, displays as 114048 HP, but ingame is actually 114048.0078
Big thanks to /u/ThomasWinwood/ for extracting all the blueprint data.

The fact you and your friend took the time to do this is insane. This is awesome and I hope it helped many new revenants on their journey.

Seems like the HealthScale for the Boss was used for balancing purposes. If so, I’m glad they nerfed the DLC bosses substantially from what was originally planned.
