Battles, or fights, contain the core gameplay mechanic of Everhood and Everhood 2. Battles consist of dodging notes that appear in time to the beats or melody of the music, similar to a rhythm game, and surviving for the duration of the track to win. There are five lanes the player can dash horizontally between, with the ability to jump over small notes. There are also tall notes, which cannot be jumped over and must be dodged.
While almost all fights are locked into the five-lane grid, there are four special encounters that work outside this format: Incinerator Part 1, Incinerator Part 2, Quantum Battle, and GOD MACHINE. The player must instead dodge attacks by maneuvering their character on the overworld by walking in any cardinal or ordinal direction, or running in any cardinal direction.

List of Secret Battles
Battle | How to Unlock |
---|---|
Brown Slim Mushroom | Locate all 8 Mushrooms hiding within Mushroom Forest, then go to the Forest Spirit's glade. Talk to the Forest Spirit to open the west pathway to Brown Slim Mushroom. Alternatively, if Forest Spirit is dead, the west pathway will automatically open without having to locate the Mushrooms. |
Light Being | Complete Brown Mage's trading quest in order to obtain the Golden Key. Enter Midnight Town's flower shop and interact with the locked treasure chest in order to initiate the Light Being fight. If the player fails to kill Light Being and has Red's arm, they have a 50% chance of spawning at Cart Carnival's movie theater each time the player enters Cart Carnival. |
Jump Rope | Complete Brown Mage's trading quest in order to obtain the Golden Key. Go back to Mushroom Forest and traverse west towards the area the player first dropped down from on their first visit. Open the locked door in order to enter the Junkyard, and follow the path forward until the Jump Rope is reached. |
Frog's Wrath | After obtaining Red's arm, do not kill any of the 30 souls. Talk to the Forest Spirit in Mushroom Forest and refuse to kill them. Return back to the Cosmic Hub and enter the Heaven Door to do the Frog's Wrath fight. |
Dev Gnomes | Collect the three gems and place them inside the Cat God statue in the Cosmic Hub in order to fight the Dev Gnomes. The Cat God statue has around a 9% chance of spawning each time the player enters the Cosmic Hub. |
Cat God | After obtaining Red's arm in a New Game+ playthrough, talk with Sam in the Cosmic Hub and follow them in order to fight Cat God. |
Custom Battles
The PC version of Everhood features a Custom Battle Editor, in which players can create their own Everhood battles set to songs not featured in the main game. Battle note patterns are derived from note charts built in Moonscraper, which is included within Everhood's files; however, constructing the battles themselves requires use of Unity Engine version 2018.4.27f1 (earlier and later versions of Unity are not compatible with the Editor).
Included with the Editor is a pre-made Custom Battle against Everhoodchan, created primarily to showcase the capabilities of the Editor.
