you can’t beat final Nemesis without absolute mastery over the “Perfect Dodge” mechanic.

There is two ways on how to deal with him. You either do this:

Or you go to the Shop, get yourself one or both defense coins (plus the melee book) and try it again. The coins absorb a good chunk of his damage, allowing you to use recovery items and continue the fight.

i tried that and honestly it helped with the first hit i healed then jill got knocked again(you know how long she takes to recover) and before i could get up, he did a fast double attack.

Honestly I'm surprised you've lasted that long, hell I'm surprised that fans weren't rioting for the numerous ways nightmare absolutely destroys the game's design with its countless incompetent alterations. It basically turns a mediocre survival horror game into a god awful trash fire of an action game.

Basically it's as big a pile of vomit as RE5's "professional" difficulty where the idea was that Capcom didn't give a single ♥♥♥♥ about creating a balanced hard difficulty and expected you to just buy ♥♥♥♥ from the upgrade store in order to make something that's tolerable yourself. RE3 does the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing with the points shop so with the base balance nightmare is basically unplayable (that is if you don't count saving at every single type writer and repeating checkpoints a dozen times because of garbage enemy placement and trial and error gameplay) and you're supposed to buy ♥♥♥♥ to make it playable. Which in turns makes it feel uneven, unbalanced and just ♥♥♥♥.

So you have assisted difficulty which is a joke but is good for a quick S run, standard that honestly I don't even know why is in the game and hardcore that's your usual normal difficulty for an RE game. The proper hard mode with good balance, ink ribbons and all that jazz was never made for the game because Capcom wanted a cash grab, gave the game to some terrible sweat shop studio that couldn't make a good RE game even if they wanted to and they put in some "hard difficulties" for people who like to eat ♥♥♥♥ and love laughing at obviously broken bossfights.

i agree with you, it's just sad. I wanted to beat this game on the hardest difficulty for the achievements but can't even beat the final boss so i just gave up lmao.

There is another difficulty that's unlocked after beating nightmare called Inferno, it's basically nightmare without autosaves and less typewriters.

Anyway just to be helpful if you want to bother again I'd say this is the best strat to cut through the RNG and the obvious bs:

- Buy the book that helps dodging from the shop.

- Buy two defense coins from the shop to lower the damage the boss deals.

- Craft as much ammo for the Ligthning Hawk as you can because that's the best for the job: it takes out those weird tumors in one hit AND the bullets go through everything. So for example if you perfect dodge a hit and you get that slow mo effect with the auto aim you can just shoot, even if one its limbs obscure the tumor you'll just take it out.

[Orchardo]

With the Lightning Hawk in the final battle, make sure the tumors have grown all the way before shooting them otherwise they won't die in one hit. And it's possible to line up shots to hit two of them at once. No other weapon will one shot the tumors besides the Lightning Hawk (except the RL but it's so expensive).

The book is absolutely necessary if you're not a god at dodging. On nightmare, you can survive at least one hit from the final form without dying so you can dodge SOME attacks after you get hit except for ones like the super fast left hand slam that goes on for about 5-8 times (and yes it's RNG how many times he'll slam at a time)

I was stuck on the battle for 3 hours on inferno. The best thing to do is to learn his attacks and only shoot a minimum amount of the tumors at a time instead of trying to get the most as possible before he attacks again. Prioritise on dodging, not shooting. The attack of his that is the worst is the left hand slam that he does for an amount of times in a row that's RNG based. You have only a split second reaction time to if he will do it again or wait a second before doing it again (the delayed slam is ALWAYS the last slam)

You learn how terrible the boss fight is once you play it on harder difficulties. RNG mechanics make it impossible to learn the fight fully. The best you can do is just go at it over and over until you can learn the moves that you can learn and get lucky with the other ones.

Good luck, it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying.

[Mr_Purple]

It's barely possible to dodge his combo of three attacks as is even with S.T.A.R.S. manual, you can't make any mistakes AND you have to do this three times, doing two capsules in one stun is pretty much impossible. I give up, to hell with this crappy game.

It isn't random. In my last try on Nightmare I didn't get hit. So yeah, the only tip I can give is to "git gud" on the perfect dodges.
