Victor Zahn (ビクター・ザン Bikutā Zan?) is the boss of Stage 1 in Time Crisis 3.

Appearance[]

Victor Zahn is a muscular Mediterranean male with a stereotypical tough military grunt look. He has tan skin with scars all over his body and face, a spiky red hair and turquoise eyes.

Zahn wears a white singlet, yellow-brown pants of digital jungle camouflage folded in military style with a belt around his waist, and brown combat boots. There is a bandoleer running across his right shoulder and black knee pads over the pants. He also wears brown gloves. As for weapons, he is armed with a FN P90 and Mk 2 hand grenades which are fitted on the bandoleer. In the Arcade Mode, he can also use a General Dynamics GAU-22/A Gatling cannon and in the "Rescue Mission", use a six-pod rocket launcher in addition to the Gatling cannon but does not use the hand grenades.

Overview[]

Zahn is first seen piloting over a wrecked ship Alan Dunaway and Wesley Lambert are in during Stage 1 Area 2, commenting on their inevitable efforts. He drops bombs at the ship in order to speed up its demise. He then ambushes them in his V-TOL, however before he is able to finish the two agents, Alicia Winston saves them by allowing the two V.S.S.E. agents to jump into her jeep, thus starting the fight.

As the fight begins Alan and Wesley are forced to destroy the numerous weapons that are installed on Zahn's V-TOL along with waves of normal enemies in jeeps (and dirt bikes in the "Rescue Mission"). After they destroy all of the weapons on the front and sides of the V-TOL Zahn makes his appearance, starting the true fight.

After fighting Zahn normally, Zahn retreats, utilising more and more weaponry against the V.S.S.E. agents, from his FN P90 to Mk 2 hand grenades and even a Gatling cannon. In Stage 4 of the "Rescue Mission", Zahn uses a rocket pod to shoot Alicia Winston. Despite being against the odds, Alan, Wesley and Alicia finally beat Zahn, who drops the grenades he is using in the V-TOL, blowing it up and ultimately killing himself.

Abilities[]

Zahn's main strength lies in his vast arsenal of weapons. Fist and foremost is his V-TOL, which accommodates half of the fight. The plane has a total of 1 Gatling cannon, 6 heavy machine gun turrets and 2 rocket pods, with the rocket pods and Gatling cannon on the wings and nose of the plane respectively and the other 6 turrets divided equally on the sides of the plane. All the Gatling cannon and heavy machine gun turrets have extremely high fire rates while the rocket pods have 100% accuracy when aimed at Alan or Wesley respectively but the rockets can be shot down, both kinds of turrets are especially deadly when firing. In the "Rescue Mission", the rocket pods and Gatling cannon on the aircraft are absent during gameplay. Similarly, the heavy machine turrets remained retracted inside the aircraft.

Zahn himself has a number of weapons he uses throughout the fight also, his main weapon is a FN P90 which has fairly high accuracy and fire rates, making it a cause for concern. His other weapons consist of Mk 2 hand grenades, which he will throw either directly or in an arc, which will hit both Alan and Wesley, and a Gatling cannon, which has 100% accuracy and an insane rate of fire, thus forcing the player to take cover if the Gatling cannon is being focused on the player (otherwise, it has 0% accuracy if Zahn wildly fires the Gatling cannon). In the "Rescue Mission", Zahn will throw the Gatling cannon at Alicia once his lifebar is depleted. Prior to using the Gatling cannon, Zahn uses a rocket pod with 100% accuracy just on Alicia. However, the rockets can be shot down.

Zahn otherwise is a fairly weak boss in comparison to others, as he is stationary most of the time and does not have a great deal of health. To increase the challenge, he is accompanied by a large number of soldiers of various types, who will constantly interrupt the fight and will assist Zahn on occasion.

Aside from his combat abilities. Zahn is an experienced pilot, capable of flying his V-TOL on a very low altitude, paralleled with the ground.

Quotes[]

Japanese version English version Remarks
() っかかったなVSSEの (わか) (ぞう) (とも) Like sheep to the slaughter... Victor Zahn, before dropping more bombs to the wrecked ship V.S.S.E. agents Alan Dunaway and Wesley Lambert are in
ここまでだ! You're finished! Victor Zahn, confronting V.S.S.E. agents Alan Dunaway and Wesley Lambert who have survived the explosion
() ねぇーー! Say goodbye! Victor Zahn, before firing rockets from his V-TOL meant to kill the V.S.S.E. agents

Trivia[]

  • The V-TOL flown by Zahn is based on the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey.
  • Despite Alicia, Alan and Wesley participate in defeating Zahn, their methods of doing it are different. From Alicia's point of view, Alan and Wesley never appear while from their view, Alicia is seen driving with her head down.
    • Alicia's objective is to destroy the V-TOL's engines while Alan and Wesley's objective is to destroy the weapons on the V-TOL. This is also the reason for the lack of rocket pods and Gatling cannon on the V-TOL when it appears for the first time during the "Rescue Mission" gameplay as those weapons would have been destroyed by Alan and Wesley while Alicia dealt with the enemy soldiers on jeeps and dirt bikes.
  • Zahn has different number of lifebars in each mode with five in Arcade Mode but four in the "Rescue Mission".
