How to defeat the first boss?

[boyboy5]

Strategy

The boss is chasing me by jumping in attempts to rip me apart, this way I direct it to destroy pillars in the room, however, once all pillars are destroyed, nothing happens & I eventually run out of stamina & die.

Loadout

• I'm playing Dead Space 2 for the first time.
  
• I selected the highest difficulty mode.
  
• The boss can't take any damage from me.

You aim ethier for something yellow or their limbs (arms/legs) headshots wont work and enemies will drop items if you stomp them (works only once per enemy)

Don't forget your stasis module

Might be a bit late but I'll post anyway ?

Ahh, the tripod . . as Kimpa says aim for the yellow part on the limb

strategy:

Use TK to take all the resources in the room first

Stasis as soon as the tripod appears and take off one limb as soon as you can

Stasis again as soon as stasis runs out then use the recharge station and stasis again

( 2-3 stasis shots should be enough for one limb ? )

Without that limb you should be able to out run it, then wait for the station to recharge if need be

( my gameplay vid on normal difficulty )

all boss eneines have a yellow weakness on them you can shoot at. so a major hint there through the entire game and DS3.
