- Chapters
- 1-2 (Allyson), 2-2 (the Mines), 3-2 (refinery exit), 4-1 (the "+" crossroads), 4-2 (Earth Emblem corridor), 6-1 (Ship Hold) and Desperate Escape; it can come out of almost any Town, Wetlands or Base Majini.
Weak point
The Plaga, not the body. Flash Grenade or Flash Rounds: instant death. A fully upgraded magnum kills it in one shot anywhere.
Tactic
The Plaga bursts from the Majini's neck after enough damage; it's the same species as the Ganado Plaga from RE4 and, like it, weak to light. Its body stretches a long way: back off.
- Prevent it: knee shot and rear finisher on suspected carriers (use it a lot in the 2-2 Mines). The Stun Rod, the Rocket Launcher and Nitrogen Rounds also stop it.
- Once it's out: shotgun to knock it back, then shoot the Plaga. It can still be downed and meleed, but that is no longer an instant kill.
- Go into the Light: kill 2 enemies with one Flash Grenade.
3,000 HP. Tentacle hit 180; vertical strike 360 (knocks you down up close). It also slashes from the floor and while getting up. Majini (Cephalo) figurine: 5 BSAA Emblems and Chapter 2 cleared.
