Tavern Boss Fight - Adolescent BS (Possible spoiler)

[Stargeezer]

Leave it to the Wolfenstein morons to take a good game and spoil it with an idiotic boss fight. I had little trouble with the prior fights. The Mech in the tavern is relatively tough, but to run around and use every Health and Armor perk, then find ammo that works (forget grenades, the cap pistol), and finally have to drop him four times and take him out with a pipe is simply hogwash. No skill involved here, just luck if you can hide and run and get in a few shots. Overloading to the max doesn't work as it wears down long before a kill and not enought health packs. I even lowered the play level down to silly easy and not much improvement. When you get to the tavern, take a huge disappointment pill - maybe two, you'll need it.

This boss himself is obviously a reference to Wolf3D bosses.
As for the fight... Shoot his electric parts with something powerful. Few sniper rifle shots will do. You don't have to run around, just keep that bar stand between you and him.

Reading this makes me feel like I'm playing a different game because that boss fight was super easy.

[Stargeezer]

Excellent! I hit those several times but he didn't go down. I "thought" I was doing so well - thanks for the tip!

Hang in there... hide and stay close, target his power plugs. When he drops rush him and "E" knife him. Run and hide... need to do that 3 times, the 4th time knife him again and he's toast!

Beat him first try on Uber, but I agree he is a kind of boring fight, but as MASTAN mentions, its a reference to the bosses of wolfenstein 3d which wield 2 machineguns and giant armor like him. Look up Hans Grösse Wolfenstein 3D

The Tavern Boss situation is completely ridiculous. 3 grenades should take him down. Think about it. The design of this scenario is totally idiotic. I do understand the complexity of the work that goes into the AI for any interactive software. However, the resolution of this scenario should not require muiltiple restarts of the situation, much less having to go to the forum for ideas on completiion. By the time a player has reached this level, they certainly have accumulated enough experience with weapons and tactics to kill the boss. Also, I could give a rat's ass about the boss's fixation with his dog.

Ummm? in tavern just shoot the electric things on him with granade launcher that easy( even works on über)

The game has already trained you with UberSoldats to aim for the glowing energy pods sitting on their backs and then run in for a melee attack/animated move when they fall to their knees. Its literally just a somewhat longer/harder UberSoldat fight.

While I have my complaints about the directions MachineGames took the series, ESPECIALLY New Order, I'm glad to see classic boss fights that have strategies return. Really not that hard, especially with the absolute piles of health and armor strewn about the tavern.

I found the last boss fight hard, to be honest, but once you figure out he is blind the only threats become the soldiers that you can use your silenced pistol on. Frankly, love the boss fights in this game and even New Order.

Once you know the strategy it aint that hard , sniper is the best , I hardly took a hit , ran around the cabinet and took him out after about 5 attempts.. but it does seem more difficult at first.

Good game, can seem more difficult when you don't know how to beat a boss or a tough patch in a level.

There are tougher challenges ahead :D

I suck at FPS games, but love Wolfenstein, the tavern boss was tuff but even I was able to beat him on normal difficulty. The final boss however... whoa that was tuff, even after reduced it to the easiest difficulty.
Fun though

Do the final boss fight with stealth. You open fire with an unsilenced weapon and he'll swing at you. Let the other enemies fire their guns and he will wipe them out for you. When you do need to fight back against zombies or Nazis use a silenced pistol. Then use your rocket pistol (kampfpistol if I remember right) on the giant's mouth. Its actually not really hard once you figure out he is blind and to use stealth.
