Cabin Siege Question

[Femboi Warper]

Is this timer based, or kill based? I think I'm semi soft-locked, or as locked as someone who isnt good at parrying can get. I have no healing items, and like 22 ammo for my red9, all my other guns but the bow gun are completely empty. I've gotten as far as one of the bull-headed guys coming in with the sledge hammer, but by then i was taken down to 1 hp and then killed and I couldnt keep going, so I kinda just, rage quit lmao

correction i only have 2 ammo in my red9

After the hammer dude shows up, you'll have 2-3 minutes, then it triggers a cutscene and the cabin siege ends.

Playing on hardcore, headshot + kick don't work, they will swarm you anyway. Shotgun, flash grenades or mine-darts can make it easier, but If you want to save ammo, you can just run around and use parry + kick to not get swarmed.

I'm in the exact same situation. I left it last night to replay it today. It's going to take a lot more attempts. I'm crap at parrying too, not got into the habit and I'm reluctant to use the knife. Blocking the windows with the shelf and the boards seems to last as long as it takes to do it. Having to stay downstairs to get the free ammo from Luis means you miss out by running upstairs and the enemies are coming from all angles. At various stages the game kicks it up a notch making it even more ridiculous. Just when I think I'm on a good run and it's finally going well I'll die suddenly. It doesn't help that sometimes you can get hit multiple times in a row in sequence killing you from full health without being able to prevent it. Really unforgiving difficulty spike. But we'll keep trying until we barely survive. We're probably really close to the end. In the original they would call it off and retreat after enough time so that's probably near after the bull guy upstairs. Really feels like a small cabin too with hardly any breathing room. A couple of grenades would've made a big difference.

I ended up selling a lot of my treasure, upgrading all my guns and buying the flash grenade craft. I made it through with sheer will lmaoo

I finally beat it, but my strat would probably take a lot of space on here to type up, i sent you a request if you want to add me and I can pm you what I did

I just beat the cabin section too but the next 2 bits aren't any easier. When we moved upstairs I'd use the stairs and ladder to lead them. But what's annoying is there were items to pick up but in this remake instead of staying there after the fight we flee and can't go back to it. So I had like nearly no ammo afterwards.

Yeah omg I hated that I had pesestas left behind lmao! What you can do is, if you stand like right behind the doors that leon has to push open with both his hands, the ai seems coded to not go right up to those doors, so you can kinda safely camp right there. Sometimes the ai even like breaks at those doors

Also weird how Ashley pushes the doors open and says this way quick. How did she get there since she was behind the wardrobe.

[Faded]

Dont give up if you have even 0 health. I beat it literally with 0 health, and managed for the final 30 seconds killing the bull.

It was like a hole in the wall, she wasnt actually in the wardrobe. So im guessing she found a way out and opened up that locked door that we cant access? Idk why it took her like TWENTY MINUTES.

Imo, chapter 5 needs more static ammo pickups. I was low or zero on everything except handgun ammo and I loot EVERYTHING lol

There’s honestly way too much happening in this chapter for how little ammo there is, especially since tune ups dont cap the ammo… idk if they did that in the original but I wish they did lmao. There’s the dog micro boss in the village if you went back to grab the stuff from mendez’ house, there’s also the bull guy, at least 3 head slashy guys in the village, AND then the farm area, and then the cabin… And mind you, merchant prices are literally ridiculous. It wouldnt have hurt to have just had like 4 more shotgun ammo given out to me lmao

I was stuck for a bit during the cabin fight too: had very few ammo/herbs and died like 6 times on Hardcore, but then I read that killing the hammer Ganado acutally ended the fight, so once he's there, focus on him! I was able to use my two flash grenades and stab him in the neck twice to finish him.

The dog was insane. I had no heals or grenades and like 20 red9 ammo only. Died 5 times until I realized you can just knife it to death while staying at its side and it literally can't attack you. I'm sure this tactic can be used for other enemies as well.

Oh yeah, forgot about the dog too... Chapter 5 was the hardest for me so far, the whole "going back to the village" sequence felt much more difficult than in the original (well, if you want to 100% the village part), especially with the dog... Not to mention the rain caused some annoying FPS drops during that part, making things a bit harder and irritating...
