"How to Make a Boss Battle"

Level 1: Beginner
Description: Intended for beginning RPG creators, this guide tells how to make a boss that will fight you when you touch it.
To begin, make sure you have a Dungeon [a room, building, cave, dungeon, outside, ect...] ready. It should have a spot where the walls go narrow so that if you put something [a boss, in this case] between the walls, it will block off the path.
Next, go to the Event editor. Choose the dungeon that you made [the one where the boss will be] and move the cursor up to where the boss will be. The press X.
Now you choose "Create Event" and the event creating screen will pop up. For the graphic, it should be the graphic [picture] of the boss, and set "Movement type" to Don't Move.
Click on the thing that takes you to the screen where you put in the events. And put in these events (to add an event press X at that screen. You can copy, cut, and paste with the Square button):
00 Display Message: "Boss: Arrgh! You've found me! But it is I that has found you!"
01 Sound Effect #32 [the laughing one]
02 Wait 0.1 Seconds
03 Battle: Boss [whatever the boss's name is, that is] BGM [background music]: 01: Battle 1
04 Display Message: "Boss: Ouch! You've killed me!!! Arrrgh!"
05 Event Status: Change Event Graphic: No Graphic [this makes it so you can't see the boss]
06 Event Status: Unable to Execute [this makes it so you can't fight the boss again, or at least until you exit the room anyway]
This will make a boss battle where after you defeat the boss, the boss won't be able to fight you again until you exit the room. If you want to make it so the boss will never be able to fight you again, even if you exit the room then come back into it, you may need to use switches.
