Eagle (Johnny) (Japanese: 大ワシのジョニー) is the third boss fight in  Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 3 - The Sleeping Princess and the Karakuri Mansion. Eagle is the second of the four guardians of Hourai Mountain. He boasts an air of arrogance and thinks all of humanity is nothing more than food to him. He mentions that it has been quite some time since he last tasted human flesh, suggesting that he has eaten people in the past. Eagle encounters Shiren and Sensei atop his fortress where he lays an ambush for them. Upon Eagle's defeat, a horde of Bowboy rain Projectiles down upon the two wanderers, wounding Sensei. He will then force Shiren to decide to submit to him or refuse his demands. Either decision you make will end in the same result. Eagle will fire cursed ammunition at Shiren, turning him into a Shiren Mamel, then claiming that the mystic transformation is irreversible. After it seems like Eagle has the upper hand again, Asuka shows up to stop him from killing Koppa and Sensei, allowing everyone to escape. At an unknown point after this event, Eagle is killed off by Tengu, as Tengu deemed him worthless for failing to defeat Shiren and for not accepting his own defeat.

Strategy

Eagle will spend most of his turns firing his guns at Shiren or Sensei. This is a ranged attack that essentially works like arrows but can also hit you if you are not lined up with Eagle. If you are adjacent to him, his ranged attack actually does double damage to you. He may also use his other attack, Solidifying Liquid when you are adjacent to him. This gives the targeted character the Inactive Status, which is pretty nasty as you can no longer utilize any items or attack. When fighting Eagle, it is best to keep it to a ranged fight if possible. He is vulnerable to your arrows and rocks so having a decent stockpile of those will net you a simple victory. A ranged fight is preferred since he has a stronger attack when you are up close and his most dangerous ability can't be used at range. As usual, you will want to keep your two characters on the same line so they can support each other with a recovery staff or other items as needed.If you are not loaded on arrows and rocks, then send only 1 character in to fight him up close at a time. The only thing you want to avoid is having both characters become inactive at the same time, which is problematic. Remember if you do become inactive, to move your character away from Eagle again so they are not taking double damage by wasting turns adjacent to him.
