How to kill the guy with the eye in his shoulder?

[GustavGlaven]

I enter the room with a flashbang, 11 shotgun shells, 14 pistol rounds, and a grenade. I use all of them, plus all ammo and the grenade in the boss room. I have to allow him to kill me to end the fight. It's pretty lame because there is no more ammo left accessible to me.

Here's a video (not mine) to demonstrate the knife technique.

I have no knife.

They give ammo in the room but it's still not enough. This is BULLCRAP!

I eventually beat him. My Strategy was pretty bad, you need to keep shooting him as much as possible. If you have a knife just strafe around him and keep stabbing until your knife breaks. It's actually a very easy fight when you don't run away and just take him down.

No knife or any other supplies that I could have took. I used it on the wall crawler and a few zombies that grabbed me before.

It seems to me like there is damage multiplier if you chain your hits. Don't just shoot him in the eye and run away until he exposes his eye again. This was what I was doing, and there wasn't enough ammo. Eventually I figured out to just assault him.

Thanks, I'll try it.

That is not true. It has been extensively tested that the items in the arena are enough to kill G1 in all difficulties

Out of curiosity, how much of a buffer do you get? Do you need 100% accuracy in the worst case scenario?

[talgaby]

Yes, you do.

The worst-case scenario is going there with only Leon's Matilda and zero ammo.

G1 has 5000 HP.
The Matilda, with unaimed shots, does 56 damage to the body, 70 to the human head and the eye (when it is exposed), and 34 to the human arm (for some reason it is his strong spot, not the thick mutated arm).

There are 43 handgun rounds in the arena (1×15 + 2×14).

Now, you'd think this means the math is not correct since you can do only 3010 damage with headshots. However, fully aiming adds +50% damage, so you can do 105/shot to the head, pushing it to 4515.

There is also a hand grenade in the arena (even if you did not pick up the one at the bottom before getting here), and it adds 560 damage, reaching 5075 in total, just beating him.

Of course, simply going there with two knives and finishing the fight under 35 seconds is a lot simpler, but if you are doing a no defence items low% run, then you must play perfectly on hardcore. Since it is locked to Ranks 8–10, and the player damage chart stops at Rank 8, you cannot even cheese it by dying (which drops the rank by 0.75).

By the way, this means the fight is actually unbeatable if you go there with a Samurai Edge that is not the Albert variant. The Chris variant with the grenade reaches a total of ~4675 damage, the Jill one does ~4270.
It is also unbeatable on Leon B. You get only 22 .45 ammo, but the M19 does only 148,5/shot. This is the only fight they apparently never really thought through with ammo placement (since normally the .45 ammo is simple half of the 9 mm ammo you find at the same spot). However, by a B run, you have to know what to expect and prepare accordingly.

Also, Claire has a lot easier case, since her handguns are stronger. She can do 5240 damage with the pistol alone, she does not even need 100% accuracy or the grenade.

2 different answers. But I am playing Hardcore with Leon, 0 pistol ammo, 6 shotgun ammo. Picking up ammo from all 4 corners and 2 nades. Only shooting open eye and getting yellow splatter. I've tried it 20+ times now.

use a knife.

If you cannot go back, then shoot the head, it is always exposed. Just make sure to fully zoom in with the pistol.
Or just restart. It takes under 20 minutes to get back to that boss.
