    '''The Ripper''' (died 1886) was a notorious murderer who terrorised [[Whitechapel]] during the Victorian era. He was eventually killed by [[Sir Daniel Fortesque]].
    ==History==
    The Ripper was first encountered by [[Sir Dan]] while he was searching for [[Princess Kiya]]. Sir Dan found Kiya crawling away from the Ripper, but before he was able to reach her, the Ripper stabbed her with his claws and fled the scene. Daniel then retreated to [[The Sewers|the sewers]] to mourn Kiya's death, where he discovered the poster for a Time Machine prototype made by [[the Professor]]. He was able to reassemble the machine and reached Kiya before she was killed. Dan distracted the Ripper, who went after him instead of Kiya - their battle then begans.


    '''Strategy'''
    After being defeated, the Ripper begged Sir Dan for mercy. He was given none, and was killed with a single shot from Dan's pistol.


    One of the most difficult boss battle. There's to health bars: red was Jack the Ripper's and blue was [[Kiya]]'s. If Kiya died when her health bar was empty, you'll lose. Jack the Ripper was too invisible to attack him, he'll use his claws to attack [[Daniel]]. Although, he'll be visible when he's trying to kill Kiya. If Kiya's health was half or almost empty, use the [[Good Lightning]] to restore her health. The best weapon to attack him is any swords.
