Can't kill Leech Queen (the one before last - 1st form)

[chch45]

OK, this is really frustrating. I have 9 magnum bullets, 5 acid grenades, 4 shotgun bullets, 3 molotovs and 2 handgun bullets :)) I have used ALL OF THEM, but the freaking thing just won't die! (I'm playing on hard mode).

Also, for some reason the extra magnum clip that should be lying in the corner is no longer there! As I remember the first few tries it was there, but after a few more attempts at killing that thing it's not there anymore! Is is some sort of bug? Because maybe with that extra clip I could finally kill that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? :D

Any tip/help is appreciated.

Even if you manage to kill his first form with that loadout you'll be facing an even worse situation against his last form. So unless you're somehow good with the knife and have a stockpile of healing items I'm afraid you're pretty much doomed.

Maybe you left behind some ammo you can backtrack for, or you might try loading an earlier save and try to reach that part in a better situation.

I am pretty sure there was the extra clip in the room in my first or second try to defeat that thing and I've only played on hard mode, so there must be some kind of glitch.


As for splitting Becca and Billy with Becca running around the oven thing, I did that (that's how I managed to unload all my stuff at the Boss without losing health). Oh well, if I don't find another solution I think I'll just abandon the game cause I really don't want to go back to the previous saves, it's too much trouble :)) the game is good, but insanely difficult, I never had this much trouble with the first one (Resident Evil HD Remaster Biohazard).

Honestly, you shouldn't be surprised that you've run out of ammo when you start your first playthrough of a classic RE game on Hard mode. Hard is meant to be played when you already know the game and know how to effectively manage your supplies, not on a blind playthrough (hence why in most games it's locked by default).

The reason why RE remake looked easier to you is because you played it under Normal, so it makes perfect sense that you're having more troubles with RE0 since you're playing it on Hard right from the start.

Nah, many players use the knife at the last form, since it is easy to bait it into a cycle with it. Unless one is speedrunning, ammo management is often expanded only up to the first form and the second form is mostly stabbing.

If he could just knife bosses to death so easily he wouldn't have ended up with an ammo shortage in the first place. It's his first playthrough (at least on the Steam version)

Yes, you're right I guess. I did play the first Resident Evil on normal difficulty (if I'm not mistaken the hard difficulty was locked initially). Now that I think about it, I'm amazed I managed to get to this point as it is :D

I do have a savepoint right before the second fight with the proto tyrant and my ammunition is quite OK at that point, so if I find a way of defeating that thing without getting too much damage and spending too much ammo, I guess I'll try finishing the game.

I'm happy to report that I finally managed to beat the game :)) it was hard, but perseverance paid off :)) the key to it all was defeating the second proto tyrant with a knife, after that I had enough ammo to tackle the queen.

Thanks for all your help folks!

Completely agree! Hard is for familiar playthrough-RE 0 and 1-3 all screw you over if you don't provision ammo and health resources for the tough runs and bosses! I love these games, but they do punish you unfairly if you didn't use one of your precious save ribbons at jUST the right time and place!

If anything, try to stick with RE0 just a little bit more and try Wesker mode. It is rather fun, despite being cheap. But Wesker has an ability that can pretty much kill anything, if you manage to charge it up.

Well I'm replaying the game on easy mode (need to pick up a few more achievements), of course I'm gonna try Wesker mode as well (there's an achievement for just playing that mode too).
