Henryk

"Yes... would you look at that behind." - Henryk, in reference to Abella's hindquarters

Henryk is a supportive NPC character and potential enemy in Fear & Hunger 2: Termina. He is a chef hailing from the country of Rondon. Henryk is one of the fourteen contestants arriving at Prehevil for the Termina Festival.

Lore
A chef forced to be a contestant in the Festival of Termina.

Henryk is a 32-year-old chef from the Kingdom of Rondon with an acute taste for ingredients. Not much is known about his past and seems adamant about keeping his life secret if prompted to speak up about it. Henryk's parents ran a tavern called Klimkov's, where he also worked but was always dreaming about becoming someone important, capable of creating something such as an artist, musician or actor. He eventually "dipped his toes in everything", but did not take well to rejection and in the end gave up those plans. At his younger years he was also a bartender for some time, having had a fling with a female pianist that worked at the same place as he did.

Eventually, Henryk ran out of money and, out of necessity, decided to go back his parents' tavern where he started to cook meals. In the end, his natural talent for the culinary arts flourished to a point that Klimkov's became famous, even becoming the subject of an article on local newspapers. Now embracing this talent, he frequently travelled to find new culinary inspiration - one can imagine it is one of his reasons to travel to Prehevil, as he seems fascinated by local delicacies and ingredients.

His attitude seems rather perverted towards the women he takes interest in, since his first interaction with the player character is of him commenting on Abella's rear and flirting with her, most likely due to the fact he makes sure to let the player know he's single.

Location
Initially, Henryk will be in front of the train along with the initial group until the player leaves. Henryk can be encountered again on the morning of Day 1 at the second floor of The Mayor's Manor. He will be looking aimlessly for a clock and saying that he is "starving".

If you talk to him several times and say "Snap out of it!", Henryk will mention looking for the town food supply. This can be found in the basement, either accessed via Lockpicking or with a Small key. If you inform Henryk of this afterwards, he will head downstairs and begin preparing food for everyone at the train. You can then return to the train for hunger refills.

After the player visits Renka cafe at the Shopping District and Restaurant Bílý Vůl at the Staircase locations in Prehevil, one can inform Henryk about their functioning kitchens: he will relocate himself to said place and keep cooking for the party on the player's demand. If Henryk stays at the train, he will find himself in an altercation with Caligura at the lake by the dawn of Day 2 and will only survive if the player shows up and decides to fight Caligura.

If one brings Henryk to PHRVL Bop afterwards, he will eventually crack down under pressure, killing everyone present at the club with poisoned food by Day 2 Night.

Moonscorched
If not dealt with properly in the Morning of Day 1, Henryk will have been turned into the Gentleman due to Moonscorch, the current Mayor of Prehevil. When the player arrives in the town, several characters that still seem to retain bits of their sanity may inform them that a new mayor has just arrived, with no prior elections, making the event seem quite suspicious.

While his appearance has drastically changed, his behaviour is surprisingly formal. He doesn't seem to want to be involved in the Festival of Termina itself and says that he does not want to get on the Kaiser of the Bremen Army's bad side, despite opposing to them. If not attacked, the Mayor will invite the player character to sit with him on the table for dinner.

Gentleman's Dinner - Dialogue choices
Depending on the player's answers to the questions the Gentleman asked while sitting with him, he will be either hostile or friendly.

If not angered, The Mayor will give you the Lion Brass key and not start a fight - however, he can still be engaged in combat if spoken to again.

Human form
As a human, Henryk wields a knife and executes an extra turn after the player's, attacking with two knife slash attacks dealing 27-39 piercing damage alongside a high chance to cause bleeding or infection. It is impossible to disarm the situation through dialogue.

Henryk cannot be handled like most fights as he will more then likely have the first turn to attack unless you prepare heavily beforehand. It's best to either quickly take out his knife arm to stop the constant onslaught of damage or take down his torso. Extra party members can help massively to spread out the damage and take out crucial limbs.

Stealing from Henryk will result in a Meatpie+ and Goulash+, both improved versions of the respective foods that grant an attack and defense buff respectively. Looting his corpse will give you a Meatpie, Lucky Coin, Knife, and his Linen Vest.

The Gentleman
As the Gentleman, Henryk is an extremely formidable foe. He uses both of his utensils to inflict heavy damage. His fork deals 27-39 piercing damage and attacks twice with a high chance to cause infection and bleeding, but has lower then average accuracy. His knife has a near guaranteed chance to cut off a arm while also dealing 29-43 damage, making it exceptionally dangerous without arm guards or other methods to stop amputation.

Great care must be put in how you fight the Gentleman, as he can quickly rack up damage and limb loss even on a party of two or more. The best strategy is taking out the torso as quickly as you can, but if you want to play it more safe you should take out his knife arm first. Going for his head is not advised as it has nearly double the health of his torso.

Stealing from the Gentleman will result in gaining a Meatpie+ and Vegetable Pie+, both improvied versions of the respective foods that grant an attack buff and evasion buff respectively.

Marina cannot join the fight stating that she despises The Mayor, so it is recommended to not recruit her if planning to fight The Mayor.

Trivia

 * If you play as Abella and talk to him, his dialogues will be flirtatious.
 * If you are not playing Abella and recruit her first, Henryk will disappear on Day 1 Morning and can only be found Day 1 Evening as the Gentleman. Alternatively, if you help Henryk at the manor, Abella will disappear and mutate into an enemy.
 * During the beta version of the game, he used to mention his zodiac sign was Sagittarius.
 * There's a leftover file that shows what appears to be an earlier, different design for his Moonscorched form, found in the enemies folder. The file is named gentleman2.png which implies this is the case.
 * Henryk is a Polish version of the Old French name of Henri/Henry, and the German name Heinrich, both meaning 'home ruler'.
 * The name seems appropriate for his cooking profession.
