How do I get past the gorilla boss?

[Zironite-YuiBestGirl]

I've been trying for so long to beat the second gorilla boss and I just can't figure out how. He attack only me and my squad doesn't do anything. The enemies pouring in don't really help either because I don't have any time to get into cover so if he's not trying to bash me against the wall, it's them shooting at me. What am I supposed to do? I'm seriously considering giving up on the game. The first gorilla boss boss was a pain but I managed. Now he only charges me and I don't have time to do anything because he's always active and I have to somehow deal with the robots at the same time I'm dealing with him. It doesn't help that it's also really long (I saw a guy beat him on youtube after 7 minutes of spraying him with bullets) Am I missing something?

He takes 5 full magasines from the Heavy MG. That's it.
Throw a decoy grenade if you can't manage to reload.

P.S. sorry just saw this topic is 2 weeks old...
But the reply may help someone, so let it stay here.

Same here, it is a real pain in the ass... I shot him so many mags in the face that I am starting to believe that he is invincible or I am doing something wrong. I found this thread looking for some advice, but I guess there is no magic trick, just spend 7-10 minutes (according with some youtube gameplays) of infinite boredom, and maybe I will be lucky enought to beat it after a few tries...

I hate bosses.

Edit: BTW we are talking about the second gorilla, Chapter 4, and in my case is hard difficulty.

Ok, I did it.

The problem with this boss is that I was trying to do the same than previous gorilla; use my guns and shoot to the weak spot in the head. That is useless, I can do it for 10 minutes and the boss never dies. You HAVE to use the cannon, and you DON'T HAVE to aim to the weak spot, but shoot him anywhere. Once you follow those two rules, the boss is fairly easy to defeat.

I think this is awful game design, because in the previous confrontation with a gorilla the game taught us some game mechanics, then with this second one they change the rules because potato.

This boss really pissed me off, but now is done. I can enjoy the game again.

Oui, mon ami :D Run away and distract the gorilla in the 2nd encounter near the base, then just try to shoot it with the cannon, many many times. When you run out of ammo, get your other guy to reload it, while you distract the gorilla and keep running. When reload complete, run back to gun and keep shooting it. Takes like 5 reloads at least. to kill it.

The trick to "killing" him the first time is your energy blast. it will stun him. If you can get him to NOT block his head when you stun him, you can blast his head for a couple seconds. Do it a couple times.

The cannon can handle more than one ammo cartridge. load as many as you can before the gorilla boss breaks into the room. That might eliminate 2 or more ammo runs. I had it loaded with 84 rounds (42 shots) at one point.

Yeah, this game is a mess. I'm only finishing it for the fun of trying to piss of my useless squadmates as much as possible. Are they actually competent if you flatter them enough? Like does the chick with the rocket launcher actually use it against the spider boss? Do they not CLUSTER AROUND YOU when you're trying to shoot rockets at the spider boss so they can at least draw some of its fire instead of making you do EVERYTHING?

You just saved my game

[patapir]

Argh this boss is awful, every time I try to reload the big gun he comes and kill me

if Rachael is in your squad she can sometimes give you a chance to allow her to use the RPG on several of the boss fight encounters, However it isnt common.

Also you can manipulate the AI positioning for a good minute or so by telling them to regroup so they follow you closely, go to an area and then tell them to retreat. Provided they arent getting shot to hell they should stay in that GENERAL area you told them to retreat at.

Just run away and get your AI to reload the gun if you get stuck. He isn't that hard to take down, once you suss out the system, the boss is dumb - just run and take your time, if you are under threat.

You are so cool that you mention in your CV that you play games in the hardest difficulty, and that is how you got that job of manager at McDonalds.
