Chapter 10 Laura

[DAZ187]

Been stuck on her for ages. but she doesnt seem to die. its been a while since a game made me want to break my xbox control countless times

You don't need to kill her. Just shoot gas pipe levers or use matches on corpses or fire bolts to slow her down. Then when you get to the lower level, immediately toss a grenade to the right where the fire is to destroy the wall mine. Then pull the big lever near it to shut off the fire blocking the exit. You'll need to slow her down just before pulling the lever though.

She can be killed, but the loot isn't really worth all the ammo it takes. I got through that part on Nightmare with no upgrades and without using any fire bolts. In fact I only used a couple matches and pistol shot the gas levers.

yes ive been using the matches and all the traps but its not enough. i dont have fire bolts isnt that part of dlc?

Yeah I guess fire bolts are part of the DLC now that I think of it. All you can do then is try to run to spots to stay away to save matches when you can. Shock bolts also slow her down though, and there's one you can pick up in the lower level to the right of the exit.

The fire bolt is a crossbow upgrade. If you don't have it then you didn't upgrade the crossbow far enough.

does shooting her while shocked or frozen do damage ?

No, it's a DLC bolt as mentioned. It comes with preorder versions and The Fighting Chance Pack.

The shock bolts do very minimal damage. They're mostly for freezing monsters in place. They do however destroy electrcal devices, like those green floor bots with rotating saw blades.

The DLC fire bolts are pretty mediocre, max upgrade harpoon are better and less likely to backfire.

EDIT: I stand corrected. I've always had the fighting pack DLC and assumed it gave you ammo but that they could be crafted in the regular game.

Yet they still stop Lara in her tracks, to gain you valuable time, and can kill 3 fat guys that are bunched close together, and that's without upgrading them.

It takes quite a bit of time and green gel to max the Harpoons. There are encounters with Lara you have to deal with before you can even get to that point. For that reason alone, the fire bolts are handy.

That said, once you know the game well, you can deal with Lara without the fire bolts, but it's not what I'd call easy.
