During the battle, Hsstamean moves along a set path in which it circles around some trees in the bottom-center of the stage.

Being the first boss, Hsstamean is easiest to defeat, and Conker will probably not lose any health during the battle. Hsstamean will appear onscreen and start to go down a specified path. Conker must shoot Hsstamean with his [[Slingshot]] at any given moment, damaging Hsstamean. After each hit, Hsstamen will start to slightly increase speed, however this will probably not be a problem, as Hsstamean's long body can make up for being a large target. After six hits, Hsstamean will be no more, leaving Conker to his eighth [[Present]]. Hsstamean's only mean of attack is if Conker physically touches him.


On each side of the battlefield, there are two small areas where Hsstamean will not travel through, which makes them good camping spaces, as Conker can stay in them, safe from Hsstamean's path, and shoot Hsstamean as it passes by.

Hsstamean, also formatted Hssstamean[1][2] is a large segmented snake and the first boss in Conker's Pocket Tales. He is fought at the end of the first world, Willow Woods.

Its name is likely a pun on the organic nitrogen compound, Template:W. The "hss" prefix of its name refers to the hissing sound of a snake, whereas "mean" refers to its villainous nature.

Battle

During the battle, Hsstamean moves along a set path in which it circles around some trees in the bottom-center of the stage. After doing so, Hsstamean slithers into the cave entrance at the upper-right and comes out of the one at the upper-left. Hsstamean does not directly attack Conker, who only takes damage if he comes in contact with Hsstamean. Conker can stand between the trees to stay safe, as Hsstamean does not slither through them. To attack Hsstamean, Conker must use his Slingshot to shoot at his head. Hsstamean moves slightly faster after each hit. After six hits, Hsstamean is defeated, and Conker can collect his eighth Present.
