Uroboros Aheri
- Chapter
- 6-2 · The Tanker: Bridge
- Where
- The ship's Bridge Deck, with a raised platform above the L.T.D. spot (two ladders). On the deck: rifle and handgun ammo, an Incendiary Grenade, a Herb (Red) and 5 Flame Rounds.
Weak point
The orange bulbs on the tentacle tips (2 in the first round, 4 in the second; 10,000 damage each, about two shots from an upgraded S&W M500), then the central core. One Rocket Launcher round into the core destroys it; in the story 3 laser hits are enough.
Excella's body rejects the Uroboros Wesker injects into her; she absorbs the pile of Majini corpses on the deck and grows huge. Normal weapons barely touch the body: you break the bulbs to make the core open.
Your big gun is the L.T.D., which guides the satellite laser: aim it like a rifle, keep the red indicator on the target until it locks (about 5 s) and fire; then it recharges (around 1 minute). Sources disagree: IGN says use the laser only; Fandom, which this guide follows, breaks the bulbs with your own guns and saves the laser or a rocket for the core, which is far faster.
Reward
Nothing. Figurine: all 30 BSAA Emblems and Chapter 6 cleared.
Before the fight it lashes out of the ship's vents (dodge prompt) and blocks corridors with tentacles (at least 10,000 damage clears one).
Duration: skilled players take under 10 minutes; many take about 20 (IGN). Tell AI Sheva to take the L.T.D. and she fires at the bulbs or the core at once, then puts it down to recharge. The core turns from yellow to red when it is nearly dead.
Step by step
- As you enter the deck, turn around: the wall panel with the Tricell logo opens with the Bridge Keycard (the Duvalia in the ship interior carried it). Take the L.T.D.
- Climb a ladder to the raised platform and smash the crates up there.
- Round 1: 2 glowing bulbs. Break them with a magnum or rifle (or the laser, if charged).
- The central core opens: laser, magnum or a Rocket Launcher (one hit on the core kills it).
- Round 2: 4 tentacles with bulbs; same method, then the core again. Tip: break the last bulb with your own gun so the laser is charged for the core; if you are quick you can fire it twice before it dives.
- Follow the dodge prompts when it tries to crush you.
- After hits it spits small Uroboros onto the deck: they are weak and drop ammo, herbs and grenades. While the laser recharges, put it down, kill them and pick it back up.
