Resident Evil 5
5-2 boss
How do I beat him, he is such a pain. I unload all my bullets into it. the flamethrower doesn't do ♥♥♥♥, it barely even hits his weak spots, never mind normally. he just comes back. I swear I have been on him for 30 minutes now

Grenade Launcher with Flame rounds is much more effective than flamethrower. So is incendiary grenades.

Play a previous chapter if you're broke. If you have money, just buy more.

Better yet, play chapter 3-1, because you can find an RPG-7 there.

Supposedly the boss can bug out on the PC version and become immortal to the classic way of beating him... I'm not sure if its true, but I have tried beating him mutliple times without using an RPG, but I never succeeded. Easiest and quickest way is probably what KRON said, go to 3-1 and navigate your motorboat to the shipwreck north-west of the sea, there you will find a hidden RPG and save yourself 10,000$. After you found it you can just quit the game, save your inventory when asked and resume your 5-2, good luck ><

The Uroboros guy? EASY. Much easier with live partner (because ai is dumb)

1. You need: Incendiary grenades: at least 3 (better if you have 5), when you're out of nades there are 3 fuel tanks in that room which you can use (same way you did with the furnace boss)
2. Decide which one of you gonna use flamethrower and who is gonna throw grenades.
3. Now, the strategy in 3 steps:
3.1 Make him chase one of you, while the other takes charged flamethrower
do not waste your ammo/grenades before flamethrower is ready
3.2 throw a flame grenade at him (just to make him stop), then flamethrower guy comes at him and start pouring flame at the base of his torso, so the growths stay there for longer - shoot them growths.
3.3. Refill the flamethrower and repeat.

Or you can just use instant kill with RPG, which I think is too cheap to be used during normal play (not speedruns).

I can easily afford an rpg, how many shots is it to kill?

Exactly as much as you can carry — one.

I'm with this guy. That ♥♥♥♥♥♥ boss has a problem or something. I NEVER could kill it "normally" without a RPG.

me and my friend love this game alot and now for somereason he cant log into gfwl but anyway. we beated the game on all difficulties we never used rpg and we didnt use granades at all in whole gameplay only 1 flashbang to kill the guy in the ship that dies instantly to flashbang. this boss is not that hard but also aint that easy if i remeber correcly we kild him just by shooting off his limbs and using the redbarrels and when he was on that state that u can just shoot it we picked up flamethrower and shooted its empty and then repeated untill he died. i dont remeber how long it took i think it was like 3-5 times

the guy can take a lot of damage, but the "loop" is easy, wait for flamethrower, shoot arms so he moves slow, burn it, until the back growths pop up, shoot growths while the other is burning, once you pop one you have to repeat the loop

He won't respond to flame nades anymore. idk if he is bugged, but nothing I can do to bring out his weak points apart from the gass cans, and the flamer doesn't hold him either.... odd

I didn't know you could continue off right where you were, so I ended playing through the part again, ended up getting better items than before! :lunar2019grinningpig:

Thanks for the tip, I ain't going into that Boss without an RPG EVER AGAIN! (Screw the fact that it's cheap. The game's being cheap by not really giving you can indication on how the boss can die. :lunar2019deadpanpig:)
