how to beat the two knight waves in the castle on profi?

[hadalon]

hey all,

I'm totally stuck at those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ knights at the castle on profi. They're already sucking on normal mode but at profi it seems impossible to get the parasites free to kill them. Its not a question of ammo. I've enough of all. Maybe it is because I need 2-3 shots with the magnum which is fully upgraded to this point to get one helmet off. 2-3 shots hitting right at the helmet! then they're moving so awful that always one of them waits on my way to hit me before I can get one of them down.

I've already watched several clips on youtube in the hope they would help but what they do there simply doesn't work in my game. I've tried the magnum, the shotgun, the tmp. The pistol seems to weak for me to use. What shall I do to kill them? I'm running out of ideas.

I don't know how it's taking so much ammo for you. 1 shot of a vanilla Broken Butterfly to their heads should be enough to take off their helmets, then all you need is a couple of flash grenades.

[hadalon]

yeah. flash grenades I have 5 pieces. That should be enough. At least it was on normal. There I needed 2 of them. One for each wave. Can it be that they take more because its the pc version?

[Lanzagranadas]

Regardless of the version or the difficulty settings, one Magnum headshot is enough to destroy their helmets and one Flash Grenade is instant kill for the exposed Plaga.

I recommend using a Red9 and shooting them in the knee, then Suplex them. Works for most enemies, and when it kills them it prevents plaga from spawning. Same as the throat slit/neckbreak in Re5. Also the Red9 solves everything, easily the best gun. Oh, and incendiary grenades if nothing else works. Those are always a good option.

One sniper rifle shot is also enough. Just shoot off their helmets fast, preferably taking out two as they spawn, and flash them. It needs practise, but it is the same tactic on both normal and pro (and you skip that room on easy).

That sounds like a nice strategy. I've never thought about to shot them into their knees. In the videos they always shot them into their heads so I always tried it this way. I would like to try a common grenade but sadly I have none left in this run. I needed the last two to get out of the garrador cage + to kill the circle of enemies for the gems after the invisible enemy part. Does anyone have experience with a grenade against those knights?

If you mean this knight aimbush you just need to run in cirle and shoot in a head till the parasites come out, if you got all 3 at onces, drop flash granade. If you still can't manage this try just kill each knight separetly. Your choice! P.S. I know, pro is hard

You can't suplex the armaduras lol.

I'm finally done with the pro mode. Lost a lot of shotgun ammo for those knights an two time heal. I'm sure it can go better but I'm not that young anymore to have very fast reactions. ^^

Only two other parts made me freak out. that stupid Krauser QTE before you can enter the laser corridor! 1ß times in a row he got to stab Leon in that last QTE although I spammed those buttons. The I got surprised how fast Saddler recovers from the shot into the legs eye. It was so fast I couldn't use the rocket launcher. I had to use the other weapons because switching to the launcher took too much time.

[the2ndSign]

Saddler can be killed with the launcher without staggering him.

Well done, though. Pro can be tricky.

That's what the semi-auto rifle and a couple of flash grenades are for ;) I always save it for that moment.

Meanwhile, I do both knight waves with knife only and have Ashley with me. I only shoot the first wave plagaheads since their hitboxes are BS. 2nd wave plagahead, easy with knife.
