You know those lame disguises the bandits wear to "camouflage"? Most of the time it's blatantly obvious where there are, but this guy actually took me a bit to locate.

See them?

At least you get to see them, I'd say 75% of the time, mine just spawn right on top of me with no "heart beat" sound warning or anything. Just a poof of black smoke and the boss shows up right next to me, then the actual bandits spawn like normal.

This happened to me too when I was commercing with a friend. I couldn't see them at all, but she could, so she had to tell me where they were orz;;

Anyway, that one was actually pretty good. They're getting better at this O:

EDIT: I'm finding that if I move with the keyboard (WASD) they don't jump me or if they do I can get away from them before the battle is triggered. Let me know if that helps for you too.
