Help with dogs?

[jtcLIVE]

I'm getting REALLY pissed with fighting dogs, because i can never stun them and they always just do a grab move on me and drain me of my health, and i can't fight more than one. So, fighting them on the balcony is just impossible, so i need advice.

How can i kill the dogs easily? i am using an xbox one controller.

use a shotgun.

its best to just run from them IMO, it takes 4-5 handgun bullets to kill each...on the balcony (where you use the dog whistle) its best just to tank it through, dogs deal minimal damage anyways and you only need to kill at most 2 dogs....and theres a green herd pot in the area for a quick heal during or before the fight

Try slow walking at times as well, might work sometimes, but yes i always use a shotgun if i have enough ammo, and if they're in a big number or being annoying

at 60 fps they are quite fast but I think there are only one you need to kill in the entire game you can run past the others...

Y'all, i don't have a shotgun, only a single clip of my Beretta that Jill starts with. I guess i could focus on the dog i need to kill, grab the item, then run.

Jill has the ability to grab the shotgun really early in the game unlike Chris. After you get the sword key. Immediately head back to the main hall and head towards the 1st floor door on your right, you'll go through two hall ways and at the end of the second hallway you'll see two doors. Go through that door on your left and the shotgun is there. Just take it. You have to grab it early or "Jill Sandwich" won't work.

I found it, but Barry won't save me when i dance around in that little room, so its put the shotgun back or become a pancake for me.

Last time we met was in the main hall, we split up to "Secure our escape route". Is there a way i can make him save me again?

I don't think so. You should be able to get that shotgun yourself at this point anyway; you just need to look in another area of the mansion. ;)

Are you implying the broken shotgun?

Indeed I am!

Is there some issue with shaking enemies off using keyboard and mouse controls? Because when a dog grabs hold of me it seems like there's absolutely nothing I can do to get him off, I died a couple of times on the 2F balcony because of this, even with 100% health playing as Chris.

for balcony dogs if you move bit "down" (behind corner of handrail) before using whistle, so dogs cant come directly towards you, then usually only one of the dogs comes instantly and you have enough time to shoot it with pistol so it drops the item. Then you can just pick the item and moonwalk out before 2nd dog even gets there.

You don't actually need to kill even the first dog.

It's an Indiana Jones style replacement puzzle, which you seem to have pretty much solved here.

There are three Handgun magazines on the way to get the Sword key, and another two on the side where the Shotgun is.

That being said, the only dogs you should be encountering should be the ones that are in the room with one of the Handgun magazines, which is entirely optional. Just use the second floor access to the save room and skip the first floor path altogether.

My humble advice for using the pistol on a single dog:

1. Make sure you are moving slowly when you hear its footsteps
2. Back yourself into a corner , or at least a tighter area so it can't surround you
3. Let it get right up to you and then shoot it
4. While it's down, aim down and keep shooting until it dies

The shot gun definitely works best for a pack of them, but if you're careful you should still be able to take them out (mostly) with a pistol.
