Did You Beat Verdugo?

[Reggae Sauce]

I used I believe about 4 of the liquid nitrogen pumps on him, and damaged him each and every time with high powered weapons, and made it to the elevator and finished the fight without having killed him due to not being able to find any more pumps.
Was this the same for you? Did you manage to kill him or is it scripted or perhaps bugged?

- I heard somebody say that one of the boss fights is bugged but they didn't say which one.

Yeah, took 3 nitrogen tanks, about 9 broken butterfly shots that was at like level 3 power, and like 3 or 4 striker shots that i can't remember what it's power was at, only shooting him while he was frozen.

You don't need the liquid nitrogen to kill it, it just makes it easier. I too used all the showers and after they ran out I just started unloading my sniper rifle into it and killed it. On my second playthrough I did it without using any showers as it's one of the challenges.

Its not bugged its just a bit harder than the rest, I killed them you can check my achievements.

[Moogal™]

Yes, you can shoot him without using the tanks too.

Yeah there's also this. There's an in-game challenge for killing him without using them at all.

I basically ran past him. I'll kill him in my next playthrough when i upgraded all my weapons.

[Kinetika]

Yes. it was harder than the OG but more exciting too :D bastard took a beating before going down almost ran out of ammo

[Alyx]

I'd suggest using one cryo tank or pump to hold him in place and take one rather expensive rocket based explosive to tear his world into small pieces.

Yes, I was constantly contemplating which boss it was worth cheesing on with the Rocket Launcher. I think I missed my chance!

Use all Nitrogen Tanks for "free" damage. At best take sniper and revolver. After the Nitrogen Tanks take out your Pistol or Shotgun and finish him.

Its sad they removed the free RPG in the Remake. Because that's the weapon i always used to kill him. And the RPG also cost way more vs the original its 30K vs 80K.

[TyresTyco]

First time I killed it within the very last freeze. Second time I juked him in one of the rooms, running circles. I would say.. it's far easier to juke than to kill lol. These 30k arent worth the ammo investment.

I play on hardcore and they raise the rocket price to 160k That's enough to warrant two exclusive upgrade.

[Phishfood]

I did kill him, I can't remember if I had the riot gun upgraded all the way at the time. What I did was freeze him, 1 blast from shotgun, melee, as many shots with rifle, then repeat to the next freeze.

After the 4th freeze he was still standing so I think I made a bunch of headshots with the fully upgraded Red9 and that ended it.

I was lucky to have a charm that reduce the price of RPG by 20%. So I sacrificed my money to buy a RPG and end him in 1 shot while he's freezing. Then I went around to collect so many ammo and gun power/resource in that area and ended up with a lot of ammo in my inventory. Totally worth the investment.
