Randy Garrett (ランディー・ギャレット Randī Gyaretto ) is the boss of Stage 2 in Time Crisis 3.
Appearance[]
Garrett has orange-brown hair over his right eye, and has brown eyes.
Garrett wears a black jumpsuit, red knee pads and gray combat boots. He is equipped with red armor on his chest, upper shoulder joints and groin area. He wields double wolverine-style melee blades attached to each wrist and a wrist mounted rocket-propelled grenade launcher on the right arm.
Overview[]
Garrett is first seen on top of a bridge, chuckling as he unleashed numerous Clawmen upon the three heroes. He is subsequently encountered in person during the later parts stage, just as the train approaches the bridge and stops there, engaging in battle with Alan Dunaway and Wesley Lambert. After a short while, he destroys one end of the bridge, causing Alan and Wesley to ignore him while they clamber back up to safe ground, where they continue fighting with the deadly opponent. Finally, after a drawn out fight, Garrett is shot off the container he is standing on, causing him to fall to his death.
Abilities[]
Garrett is among the ranks of the most agile enemies in the game, his speed rivaling and potentially surpassing the speed of the Clawmen and the later bosses. His impressive agility allows him to perform spectacular feats, such as leaping from the train to the supports of the bridge high above, making him a relatively difficult target. He has two main forms of attack, his claws and his wrist mounted rocket-propelled grenade launcher, both attacks have 100% accuracy (as melee attacks are a guaranteed hit) and are relatively difficult to dodge, although they can both be dodged with ease if the pattern is recognised quickly.
Apart from Garrett's own abilities, he is accompanied by Elite Clawmen, who are dressed in yellow and black fatigues, and constantly attack agents Alan and Wesley in unison while Garrett is in the distance or is retreating. They do not differ much from the normal Clawmen enemies in terms of attacks, but are much more durable (10 handgun shots compared to 3 for the normal Clawmen).
Trivia[]
- Garrett, along with Wild Dog and Wild Fang, are the only bosses that Alicia has no interaction with in the main Time Crisis 3 campaign.
- Garrett is the first boss in the mainline Time Crisis series to have no speaking lines; he only laughs during his introductory cutscene and boss fight, grumbles during another cutscene, and screams upon defeat. During gameplay however, he occasionally yells "Go to Hell!" when using his claw swipe attack.
- Garrett's theme music is also used in Stage 9 of the "Rescue Mission" and a version without the cymbals is used in Stage 1 Area 2 specifically the part when the wrecked ship is attacked by a V-TOL piloted by Victor Zahn.
