Resident Evil 4 (PS2) Playthrough Part 48

Boss Fight: It, Part 2

Now, even after you manage to chuck it into the nether world at the bottom of the canyon here, It proves its resilience by climbing up the rock wall and trapping you inside a ready-made death arena, where you'll have to fight it to escape. There's fairly little trickery involved here; if you want to win, you'll just have to start blasting away at its head and deal enough damage to finish it off.

If you're short on ammo, try using the explosive barrels to blow It up.

If you've been successful in saving up magnum ammo, then the beginning of this fight is going to be a good time to use it; if you just unload on its head with your Butterfly, you can do a good amount of damage, and it'll continually recoil from the blows, which will prevent it from ever attacking you. As we mentioned, there is another boss fight coming up at the end of this chapter, so don't use up all your ammo here; it's actually a wiser idea to unload an entire clip, but save one bullet in the chamber, then switch over to the shotgun or TMP. This way, you'll be able to buy a capacity upgrade for it at the upcoming merchant and get 9 or 11 free bullets.

When you run down a clip of Butterfly ammo, switch over to your shotgun. Its attacks during this portion of the fight are similar to its attacks in the storage crates; it'll attempt to slash at you with its wings if it gets really close, or it'll burrow underground and perform dodgeable attacks from underneath your feet. Your goal is, again, to just blast away at it when it pops up out of the ground until it keels over. If you did manage to unload a lot of Magnum rounds at it, it should be severely weakened, though, allowing you to finish it off with just a few shots from your shotgun or a sustained burst of TMP rounds.

If you couldn't spare any magnum rounds, then you'll have to work this boss the old fashioned way; deal a crapload of damage to it, wait for it to burrow underground, reload your weapons, and repeat. You do have a couple of items at your disposal here. If you can catch it walking past one of the explosive barrels, then you can obviously shoot the barrel to deal extra damage to it. There's also a pair of lever-operated gates in the northeastern corner of the area, leading to a joined hallway; if you can lure It inside, you may be able to trap it within to get some free potshots, but it's likely to just burrow its way out again.

Regardless, you'll have to deal a lot of damage to It before it dies off. There's one fake death animation about two-thirds of the way through the fight, where it'll sigh and slump to the ground, but don't get complacent, as it'll rear back up pretty soon afterwards. You'll know you've killed it when you flip over to a real cutscene death.

After you beat It for real, head out through the doorway to reach the lift you had to pass by earlier. There's a green herb underneath the stairs leading to it. If you take the lift back across the chasm, you can find another green herb on the other side, but your real goal is the ladder near the eastern terminal.

Don't Stand Next To Explosives!

In addition to Leon-style justice, Saddler's going to have hefty OSHA fines if he doesn't provide a safer working environment.

When you reach the next area, at the top of the ladder, grab the shotgun ammo and the hand grenade from the first room (the latter is in a cabinet), then head outside to meet up with a little camp full of soldiers. You can easily kill most of these guys by shooting one of the red barrels inside the camp; they'll explode, predictably enough, letting you jump down, finish off any stragglers, grab all of the items from the crates and barrels, then jump down the hole inside the tent to move on.

Check the offshoots of the cave tunnel here for some cash and the Blue Stone of Treason. Save your game, upgrade at the merchant (don't forget to upgrade the ammo capacity of the Butterfly if you only have one round in the barrel), then head upstairs to pass through to the next area.
