How To Defeat The Two-Head

Many will find this boss a pain in the rear, so here's a short guide.

The How-To

Lessons learnt the hard way of repeating this over and over again:

1) You need to absolutely watch which direction the attack is coming from and press the appropriate dodge direction immediately, or you will get insta-killed. Do not do anything else or you will die.

2) Fully upgraded hand-cannon works well here, as it's explosive shot will shift it into the phase you can melee attack it. Otherwise the riot gun is your bread-n-butter and will take 8-ish shots to get it to the melee phase.

3) Melee phase you only need the basic strike.

Thus, the basic pattern to follow is to unload on it as it approaches, dodge, reload, dodge, shot, dodge, shot, dodge, reload if need be or shot, and repeat until it's dead.

Sounds easy, but the dodge windows are small and the unskippable cutscene makes this even more aggravating to have to replay. Seriously, who ever though that checkpoint position was a good idea needs to forced to do QA for a month to learn their lesson.

Oh and remember - the game makes saves for every checkpoint, so you can always reload at the safe room to get the right stuff you need.

guess you never update this guide... this game is now allowed us skip the gruesome cutscene.

I always use a maxed out riot gun with the secondary explosive shot and then immediately after the second explosive shot I hit it with a maxed out stun baton once. Then just continue to shoot at it with the standard pistol. I usually dodged in the same direction but sometimes he still hit me so I was switching direction occasionally.

If you die just press ESC and reload the checkpoint saving you precious time while you don't have to watch the same gruesome cutscene over and over again

This "boss" doesn't do combos so you can dodge in only one direction for the whole fight. Literally just circle strafe while always facing him and he'll never be able to hit you.
