  • I've since rethought my initial views on the first boss. I revisited the save i made just before the boss fight, just to try and be a bit imaginitive.

    So far my favourite way of killing him is to chuck one of the explosive cannisters at him then shoot it (it takes a couple of succesful goes), closely followed by a fluke where he killed himself with his own grenade outburst.

    Any idea if you can get close to him and use a lethal takedown?
    I completely forgot about throwing things around! That might make it a bit easier!
    No chance of getting an easy kill with a takedown though :( He gets you if you get too close, which is pretty annoying as it means you can't sprint past if you find yourself in a tight spot.

    If you make sure to have some kind of explosive haul, then that helps with any boss. The first one I jusy EMPed then naded twice, only needed a few shots after that. Also keep a few praxis points if you're not sure where to use them. You'll know soon enough which Augs you actually need.
    That was my tactic, EMP, frag, then emptied a whole clip from the assault rifle into him - still standing wtf? Ok, run to more cover, recover some health, prepare to unleash another clip into the guy, aim, pop out, pull the trigger and he dies after 1 shot.

    I noticed he starts throwing more and more grenades as the fight goes on, so figured as his health gets lower he throws more. This means you don't have time to sit in cover and recover health before the next grenade lands next to you and you have to move again. So killing him as quickly as possible seemed to be the best method.

    If only I'd picked up that rocket launcher...
