T-Rex Boss Battle

[GoobleMoWizard]

I'm a little confused as to why when I shoot the T-Rex into rage mode, I'm supposed to dodge him and make him hit the spikes objects, but for some reason, that won't even work cause when he charges, he literally stops before he hits the spikes. Am I not supposed to stand too close to the Spikes, if So, how can I when he's literally on my butt and I can't reach Rage mode before he attacks?

Just dodging him is NOT enough.
When you dodge, the game will enter slow motion and you will see a pair of reticles aligning on his eye. This is what the devs called "Adrenaline Dodge" (dumb name, yes, but what can you do).
When the reticles align, they will turn from white to red and you will hear a ping. Shoot THEN and he will tumble into the spikes.

This is ridiculously annoying when you don't know how to do it or got out of practice, but it's critical to taking down other bosses and once you have it down pretty useful for taking down lesser enemies too (since the shot kills them no matter their health).

Key thing - do not use the shotgun for this fight, it just doesn't fire fast enough.

Okay, thanks for the info. I wasn't sure what I was to do, cause, well, I never played older Tomb Raider games before besides one time on the PS1, but I don't remember what Tomb Raider game that was.

This might help - skip to 0:45ish and lower the playback speed: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2457153822

That actually helps. So, I just need to stand back a few feet, and dodge almost at the last second and then shoot.
