A question about boss battles

[Jennie-5128]

Sometimes when you kill the boss, all the minions die too (like when your Eddie dies, all his little friends die with him), but sometimes this doesn't happen.

What are the criteria for when this happens and when it doesn't?
Is it intentional or a bug?

Depends on the importance of the boss. For example, the beast and his sons, the Axis Commander, Isis, and Horus, probably the wickerman as well. If they're important, "Named" bosses, then they are the ones to kill and you win instantly.

@vaseodin yeah that does seem to be how it works, I'm just wondering where the cut off point is - for example in Sands the giant Dog IS a "kill all your enemies if you kill me" boss (and he's not got a name) but giant hourglass isn't
