I'm stuck on a boss in BC:R

I'm near the end of the game. You know that boss that shoots a giant laser show and he's in some giant cage? Welll, you have to fight him again, and you basically use the same strategy from the first fight...for the most part. There's some trick to beat this guy but I dunno what.

If it's the dude in the rectangular box, you need to hang on below the box to drag him down, and then swing quickly up and stand on top of the box to finish the drop.

I actually had to check a faq on a boss. Skipped area 2 when I started the game (months ago) and ended up fighting the "upgraded" version of the boss who spins bionic arms around you. Figured out how to beat him on my own, but couldn't figure out how to shoot him. Killed the upgraded guy with the angled laser thing.

Went back to area 2, beat the first phase of the boss easy, and then got frustrated at doing like zero damage to the dude with the laser. Gamefaqs was all like swing under his seat and grab onto the machine. I was all like $:-\$

Gotta hack the terminals, they give you clues.

Reason I couldn't figure out the guy in Area 2 is that I thought you simply couldn't grapple onto the machine proper, because when I tried so from directly below nothing happened. But instead, the part I needed to grab was just a little too high, and I was wiffing.

I've beat RE4 way too many times. I last played it in January IIRC. I've probably gone through the game 7 or 8 times. I've got a mission clear file with the Handcannon, the Infinite Rocket Launcher, the Chicago Typewriter, and 9 gold chicken eggs.

What all can you get in Mercenaries?

Himu · « **Reply #77 on:** February 12, 2009, 02:22:52 AM »

This is insanity. Why did this happen?

I noticed that in the lab, my game started to skip whenever voice acting occurred, for example, when I met Chris in prison after putting in all MO discs or when I turned on the computer to type in the password to unlock the doors on B2 and B3.

So I get in the elevator, meet Barry, and Wesker shows up, shows his true colors. Barry puts his gun on me and the voices start repeating and jumbling. I'm like,"what in the fuck?"

I saved before, so I didn't mind taking out the disc and wipe it. This game used to belong to my friend and it was in rough shape when I got it years ago. So I decided to clean it. So I cleaning it, wiping it with my shirt and I hear a crack. I notice a giant crack. FUCK. I know it's not going to work after that but I wanted to try anyways. So my ps2's not reading the disc at all now. I don't know what in the fuck happened. I'm always gentle with my discs and I didn't press to too hard or anything. It just cracked like that.

Fuck.

I just came up with a hypothesis as to why my RE disc cracked. I take care of my games, I have about 200 games that are disc based, so I put them all in a giant case. Bad mistake? Because I'm thinking the weight of the other discs, or maybe the quality of the case cracked the disc. Either that, or my friend didn't take care of it well because it looks the same way the day I got it.

I better check out the rest of my games because this is any game collectors nightmare.

That and the fun of playing through Mercenaries with Leon, Ada, Wesker, HUNK, and Krauser. Pulling in ridiculously high scores is easy for me now, but I remember how challenging it was for me to get the Handcannon.

And the Handcannon unlock requires you to get 5 stars on every stage with every character. And you need several hundred thousand pesetas to fully upgrade it to infinite ammo and 99.9 power.

I guess if you suck.

I've seen every FAQ say shit like this...but I was able to buy the Infinite Rocket Launcher and the Chicago Typewriter, AND fully upgrade the Handcannon in about one and a half playthroughs. Just make sure you pick up EVERY treasure, sell all ammo you can find, and combine r/y/g herbs to sell for max price.

Oh yeah, Himumu: beat Assignment Ada. I think that's what you have to do to get the Chicago Typewriter (it still costs 1,000,000 pesetas). It may not be as cool as the Handcannon or as fun as the Infinite Rocket Launcher, but NO gun compares to it. Its firing speed is probably better than the TMP and its firepower is 10 (which is like double the shotgun's initial firepower). You can mow through everyone and bosses take only a few seconds each. That way you can easily run through the game quickly and then get enough cash to buy the Infinite Rocket Launcher and fully upgrade the Handcannon.

Just beat Saddler (what an annoying boss), starting another playthrough.

Funny thing I always wondered: can they, like, transform back after turning into huge monsters? Because all their talk of negotiations and control are kinda thrown out the window once they become giant five-legged monsters with nonsensically placed eyes all over their bodies.

Saddler wasn't the best boss but he does have AWESOME quicktimes. Hitting him with the girders is sweet, and the big knife to the eye is I think my favorite in the whole game.

Yeah, I have to admit that swinging the girders, doing backflips over thrown girders, jumping across the gaps when the bridges fall, and stabbing him in the eye are all pretty fun.

Damn, RE4 does so much shit so well. The QTEs and context-sensitive actions really add so much to the game, and they're all animated so perfectly.

Draft · « **Reply #100 on:** February 13, 2009, 06:06:45 PM »

RE4 quicktimes are the best because there's very little of that Simon bullshit. They are very well suited to an action game, because they reward reflex and not memorization. Like, SHIT BITCH HIT A HIT A.

If there's absolutely one boss fight I hate, it's Salazar's. I just buy a rocket launcher, shoot the big eye with a magnum, and blow the bitch up. I don't have time for his shit, especially when I'm about to get to the Island and leave the dumb castle.

I didn't like the double el gigante fight. =/ Although I DID love the crank part, the minecart part, the walking statue, and the blind claw guys. But the best parts of the castle are spread out too much. It's far too long. Like, for example, the lava area. It didn't seem necessary.
