Forwarded from Agency Intel : Spysat has completed a detailed analysis of Girdeux's Body
Armor; It is impervious to all conventional weapons. Our armor
specialists are working on it, but your agent may have to improvise
to find a weak point. Our demolition expert has noted that the use of any explosive
device will trigger the Viral bomb.
NOTE : This is the second boss level. Looks really-really cool
(don't get much of these in any other games).
Boss 2 : Anton Girdeaux
This is one of the coolest boss level I've ever seen in any other
games !! Anton wears full body armor and equips a flamethrower.
Once the flame hits you, you're toasted. To make things worse,
Lian Xing does not tell you where the weak point is !! Yikeess
...... Playing for more than half an hour, trying to figure out
how to defeat this boss. And indeed, practice makes perfect !!
There are things that you should know when fighting this guy :
He always aim his target when he fires his flamethrower. So
whenever he fires it, do the plan B : RUN.
He needs to get a clear shot before he fires his flamethrower.
He will not shoot if he can't see you or if there's an obstactle
between you and him, such as : pillars and statue.
He needs an 'undisturbed' few seconds to aim. So if you are
seen by him then you're not for a split second and appears again
in front of him, he will not shoot you because the 'few seconds'
is reset.
Since there's a weak point, you should have guessed that you
MUST use the aim shot (using L1 button).
The enemy requires a few shot before he died. Unlike you who
will die with just one shot.
The fire that he shot will stay on the place until you or
he died.
Now, for the big question : Where should I shoot him ?? Where
is his weak point ?? (Come on ...You should have guessed it).
............The weak point is : the big flamethrower cannister
behind him. This is how to defeat him :
Lure him near one of the pillars by standing still behind
the pillar. You have to position yourself so Girdeux cannot see
you, and you cannot see him - the pillar is between you and him.
Closer is better because you can aim much easier and faster.
Use strafe button (L2 or R2). Then use aim button (L1). Just
remember that Girdeux has a good reaction, so there's a posibility
that he will face you immediately when you come out from your
hideout even though you're on his back when you strafe. Aim to
the cannister behind his body (or if he faces you, aim to the
canister - slightly over his left shoulder) and shoot. If you
cannot aim the shot to his cannister in a short time, just strafe
back behind the pillar - he will not shoot you even though he
saw you before (look rule #3). Go circling around the pillar and
repeat.
If something goes wrong on the timing and he manages to fire
the flamethrower, just run behind another pillar with a hope that
he misses his shot and repeat the tactic on this new pillar.
