Dodging the giant Charlie head on hardcore

[DeadSlash]

I'm playing through on hardcore and I can't get past the indiana jones section, it's just on top of me as soon as it ends the cut scene and I take control again.

I looked if there was a trick i'm missing, but any searches involving Charlie only result in statue locations.

Anyone got a tip on this? In standard this just wasn't an issue at all.

literally the part that gave me the most anxiety.

I found it easier to watch the cutscene, as soon as the screen comes back the camera will get wonky for a second but ignore that and quickly run down the stairs into the corner.

its all about dealing with that weird camera transition without issue.

Thanks, I got past it. I think there might have been a glitch of some sort involved, because it was quite literally on top of me instantly. I had loaded the check point 5-6 times and it kept happening, so I had shut the game down to look for a solution, when I relaunched and tired again, it didn't insta-kill me

It's even more unforgivable on Nightmare and Inferno. But you do the same thing as said above anyway.

Just run straight down and go right. If you cross over to the stairs on the right you'll get squashed.

I usually do one dodge forward, too, as I'm going down the stairs and that helps.

once you get rolled over once you expect it every time you do this section and tense up, well at least for me lol.

It seems things trying to kill you get faster with each difficulty increase and it took me several tries on Nightmare.
What worked for me was running up the stairs from the right, skipping the cutscene and immediately hold down the A, S and Shift key while turning the camera around 180 degrees with the mouse, switching to hold down W, D and shift and quickly reach the opposite side of the stairs while running down, then dodge toward the opening on the right.
I did it like that on Inferno as well, even though it moves ridiculously fast already in this difficulty mode.

I messed up a few tries on Nightmare with pressing Q for the quick turnaround (which worked on standard and hardcore), but in fact even though you turn around slightly quicker than with manually turning the camera, you can't move while Jill turns around, costing you precious time.

I know this is old as Dinosaurs now, but DeadSlash is correct about it being a glitch. Do not continue. Exit back to the start screen and load the last save. There will be plenty of time.

turn, go down right with an angle, dodge down on the parts of stairs that is steps, sidestep

I just got past this part trying a few things. I'm still curious, does difficulty change anything with the scripted events?
