- Where
- 5-3 Quad Tower Entrance (Leon) / 5-2 (Ada, from the helicopter): the plaza with the central obelisk, red barrels, a fuel tanker and a Humvee. **Story Intersection** with Ada.
Weak point
The eyeball inside his mouth, and the flesh on his back once you shoot the scales off. From the air (Ada): the eye on his back.
Pure brute strength: stomps, bites and a roar that disorients up close. He throws cars: instant death, so don't hide behind small cars. Use the central obelisk as cover. It's a long, phased fight, and between phases he reverts to human for the finisher loop.
Reward
On to 5-4 Quad Tower (Leon) or 5-3 Quad Tower Roof (Ada).
Offline, the Leon and Helena bots rarely start the finisher in Ada's campaign: in human form, your guns are the reliable damage. Every missed missile counts against your accuracy. On higher difficulties you have to mash faster for the finisher.
Step by step
- First, loot the ring of crates along the walls (about 20), a First Aid Spray in the open area and at least one Remote Bomb in a box by the obelisk.
- Lure him next to the red barrels and shoot them. Remote Bombs work too.
- When he reverts to human: ram him, shoot his head until he kneels and do the finisher.
- Humvee phase: a BSAA soldier arrives in a Humvee with 2 machine guns (infinite ammo, but they overheat: fire in bursts). Aim at the eye in his mouth when he lunges. It ends when he wrecks the Humvee.
- Get him to charge the fuel tanker and shoot the spilled fuel to set him on fire.
- Final phase: fewer barrels left. Remote Bombs by the obelisk. The magnum works, but save some .50 AE for the fly.
- Ada (helicopter): circle him constantly while firing, and put the obelisk between you when he lifts a car. Break the plates on his back and shoot the eye there. Save the missiles (3-4) for his human form, and shoot the red barrels near him too. If he catches Leon in his mouth, hit him with a missile so he lets go: according to two forum threads, that earns the medal Rescued Leon from becoming B.O.W. chow.
- Co-op in Ada Chapter 5: Agent sits in the co-pilot seat with his own gatling gun, and the missiles are shared. Let Agent handle the gun while Ada flies and fires the missiles.
