The 4th Arena fight on veteran is impossible

[SVINOTA DELUXE]

As mush as I'm loving the game, clearly the Veteran difficulty was not properly tested. It's not possible to kill the chimera with the amount of ammo the game provides you. I guess I can lower the difficulty just for this one fight, but I'm gonna be so pissed to miss the veteran achievement (if it exists, obviously) due to this oversight.

When in doubt, knife. (Almost) every mutant can be killed with a knife.
Weapon melee might work too, but the damage is questionable.

Mate, I'm playing on Veteran. Chimera kills you with 1-2 hits, it's damn near impossible to land a knife hit on it.
In any case, nevermind, I managed to kill it by landing every single bullet. The final fight is what's actually damn impossible...

Edit: it's possible, but you have to die at least 2 times lol.

So when you enter the arena, to the left in the middle, there's a box and then a smaller red crate, jump on the box to the crate, Chimera can't hit you and you can sit there and mag dump it's head, i recommend single fire and just pop it on the head, for me, i walked to the opposite end and it just stood there while i shot it

Same here, I go down for the 4th round and the guy just sits there.

Let him pick the weapon for you. He'll give you a heavy revolver, which will kill him in like 6 headshots.

Seems like the game does have a few quest softlocks. I've encountered at least 2 myself. Hopefully, they'll figure it out soon.

Just saw this in another thread on the subject.

Hey, i just ended the quest like 1 or 2 hours ago, u just need to keep with the main quest while crossing the swamp u face a quimera, and the 4 fight on arena is vs a quimera, the lady on the speakers say "I heard u are good fighting those" making reference that u faced one before, i guess that's why it doesnt unlock the fight untill u do that, hope it helps, at least it worked for me

PD: Playing on the game pass version, dont know if it changes anything

Took EXACTLY 240 headshots to kill it from a cheese spot where it stood still. Definitely nobody tested this

[Jäveln]

Nobody QA tested 99% of this damn game.

Bugs can be fixed.

Abysmal brain dead design decisions will follow this game to its early grave.

Found thread looking for answers wth is that chimera fight... Well, several attempts and lots of running in circles around the crates actually managed to take it down.

Now amusing way to get bonus rewards for each round (at least it worked after chimera and on final round, when I thought of trying it):
When you're done - save just in case, throw the stuff on the ground in the waiting room next to the guy and then talk to him. Since the script apparently just removes all the stuff from your inventory, it still counts as "handing back the kit".

took me 3 attempts on veteran. same issue, ran out of ammo 2 times but in the 3rd round I focused on head-shots only and the chimera died eventually.
