2 gigantes on professional. Is there a trick?
I don't recall this fight being hard at all on hardcore.

I can deal with the first one no problem, but after exploding the dynamite on the second, it just keeps coming at me non stop and I never even get a glimpse of the parasite.

Having to re-do the 2 chainsaw part before every retry is annoying as hell too.

Can't you just drop them in the lava?
It has to be stunned to fall in the pit, I can't even hurt the armored gigante even after the parasite is exposed by Luis's dynamite.

Blow the dynamite when he's above the trapdoor. He'll get stunned and you'll be able to make him fall easily.

Then shoot the dynamite when the armored gigante is right on top of the hole ? The stun is long enough to get it done. You can also buy one rpg and one hit both of them together.

Or even throwing some granades into his face and spam broken butterfly at the unarmored face part

If you watch one of the sub 2hr speed runs the major trick is that heavy grenades and magnum shots can trigger the first cut scene on the armored one which helps a lot.

I bought the rocket launcher to speed up and save ammo on the Verdugo fight. The merchant doesn't have another one.

Do another save after chainsaw but before the dynamite explosion

40-50 default pistol shots for the unarmored and then one shot for the dynamite, if they dont get knocked above the lava for the first time, reload save

run around the control panel for defense

You can hurt it in a small part of the face which doesn't have armor.

Does a flashbang work once the dynamite is popped? If so flashbang when he is on the doors and then drop him.

Honestly, hard to dodge El Gigantes imo. But getting the first one in the pit is easy enough. A few shotgun shells to bring out the parasite. Shoot at it with a rifle once you've baited it's attack in the center area (and by bait I mean usually just getting hit). Then it's lava dunking time.

Then you dodge the second guy for a minute before Luis gets back. Hope the camera angle change from Luis reappearing doesn't cuck you into getting hit as well. Then once the dynamite is chucked and Luis is back to distract, blowing up the dynamite while he's in the circle area is the easy part.

you can straight up throw a flash as soon as the battle starts and kill one or both gigantes

Played a lotta dark soul games. So leg camping to avoid attacks is not too hard imo.
Easist thing seems to be to flash bang them ontop of the pit and drop one or both of them. Might need multiple flashes though for one giant incase the duration isn't long enough.
I finally got it. After shooting the dynamite, there's a brief moment where the parasite pops out and single fully upgraded Killer7 shot did it.

The aggressiveness of the armoured gigante is really something. In all of my attempts, he totally ignored Luis after the dynamite had exploded and came only after me with his punching attacks that took 75% of my health with every hit. I never had a clean shot at the parasite on his back in this situation.
