Ch.6 Xtortionist losing grip on himself.

After playing chapter 11 and 12 all I can say that it was pretty bold from Mikami to criticize where Capcom went with RE after 4...
Oh, and that one scene in chapter 12:
I swear to god that was THE most random thing ever. The best laugh I had in this game - and I think that was not supposed to be funny.

Here's what I did.
You'll usually start right next to Joseph. My strategy required
Two explosive bolts
One electric bolt
One frozen bolt (doesn't have to be. Could be another electric bolt but I just used what I had)
One Grenade
Shotgun the crap out of him the rest of the time
So as soon as the game lets you control Seb, dodge the dog and let him run into his bush. You should see the one he went into. I shot an electric bolt right near the bush so as soon as he charges at me he gets stuck.
I shot him with an explosive bolt, which knocked him to the floor. While he was on the floor, I hit him with another explosive bolt.
Now he gets up. I shoot him with a frost bolt. He gets frozen.
I lob a grenade at him. He gets hurt a lot. Then I just shotgun the crap out of him while dodging.
Dead.

It took me quite a few deaths but that's what I came up with.

Hahaha, oh my god. That was such a weird line. And screw that whole section with the
dog

But it had a blue glow. How could you miss it? D=

I saw it. It was just Joseph rarely distracted the dog for me and I made it out of the fight with barely any health left. I kept getting killed on my way back after picking the glasses up until I wasted a med kit to get through it.
C'mon man. People had completely different experiences with the section in question. In my case he spawned right behind me once when I was standing in front of a brain machine, and once behind a door I was about to pass through. Also hiding seems to be mostly useless, even though the game encourages you to try.
I enjoyed the chapter, but that section's design was far from impeccable.
Currently halfway through ch. 11. I enjoyed ch. 10 quite a bit, regardless of some trial and error.

Here's how that part played out for me on each of my 3 playthroughs:
Go through fence
Sprint to glasses while dog ambles around
Pick up glasses
Sprint back towards fence
Joseph calls dog over when I'm about 10 feet from the fence
"Gee, thanks idiot" spoken out loud by me
Dog gets to fence about 1 second before I do
Push past dog and hammer button to initiate fence-shimmy
Sprint to glasses while dog ambles around
Pick up glasses
Sprint back towards fence
Joseph calls dog over when I'm about 10 feet from the fence
"Gee, thanks idiot" spoken out loud by me
Dog gets to fence about 1 second before I do
Push past dog and hammer button to initiate fence-shimmy
So janky, this game. Especially with scripted events.

FUCK, I should have saved clip of entire doge fight.
Round 1 - I didn't react quick enough, literally killed me in two seconds off spawn
Round 2 - Ran left into a beartrap
Round 3 - Ran right, waited for him to come at me, shot him with shotgun, didn't knock him over, assumed it didn't work on xXMLG-AKUMU-420Xx
Round 4-Infinity - Tried everything, failed
Round Infinity Plus One - Papercuts tells me to use shotgun, it works this time, wtf, few more tries and I get it
Also a stunning display of target acquisition by yours truly in the catacombs
To all who popped in, thanks for watching. Might stream again sometime
with continued apologies to Net Wrecker

Is there a guide for the map fragments?
BTW: I'm on my second playthrough (chapter 9 now) and I can't find any new statues (incl. keys). I found 10-15 of them during my first playthrough...where are the other ones? Holy shit.

Chapter 6 on Akumu really wasn't that bad overall.
Most of the fights came down to spamming flash bolts, either for holding off the enemies while Joseph opens the door near the beginning or to buy some time to eliminate the spear volley guys in the huge open area (it checkpoints when they're all dead and you enter Sadist arena; I skipped a massive amount of enemies).

Okay chapter 9...again....patch this ASAP. this is ridiculous. He spawns right in front of me and kills me within one second every time. How could anyone approve this design decision?

I'm surprised there's no Sebastian ''What the Fuck?'' meme yet.
This is easily one of my favorite scenes in the games because it's so fucking bizarre and compared to what else happens in the game this actually seems very plausible. It just comes out of nowhere and Sebastian's reaction afterwards is great as well.

easy answer for anyone struggling with the boss on chapter six
how on earth you were supposed to figure this out in such a small arena i will never understand, it's a mess to figure out and to execute but if you can do it in the cramped space then it works every time.
all you need to do is use the sniper rifle on his head when he jumps from the bush and he goes down on the floor every time.

How do you kill
in chaper 10? I hate this part :/

Takes a ton of ammo. For me it was something like 3 incendiary bolts, the traps around the room, multiple shotgun blasts and harpoons.

I have the NG+ weapon (
rocket launcher

I read someone say it takes something like 6 rockets to kill her. Maybe you were just unlucky.
Denied. I wasted a bunch of rockets on her, as well as firey harpoons, incendiaries, explosives, shotgun blasts, everything.
I finally got her down in that final boiler room, but all of my ammo was used up during the three parts with her prior thinking I could kill her before the final area. I was wrong.
Im running on casual now fully upgraded and I want to see if I can avoid her those first few times and then wipe her out in the final room.

Ah I see, makes sense.
The rocket launcher sucks ass IMO. It locks you in place and that's REALLY bad in that fight, it's also not an instant kill machine on boss enemies so I wouldn't use it here.
CH10 NG+:
First off, you have to get her to the last room.
Secondly, always burn her first and then shoot rockets. Fight can be tricky because of the small room, but it's possible to pull off. Once done, head to the elevator and instead of walking inside walk around it to find a key statue.

This game has like the best sound effect for smashing glass. So satisfying!
LeaveBritney chapter 9 aloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooone!
What's interesting is in older footage Ruvic didn't one hit kill you. Your health just went as low as possible but you didn't die. Wonder why it was changed?
I'm more surprised we don't have a video showing off every death in the game yet.
Leave
Try not to constantly run, that should usually make him teleport a little bit less.

Yeah, it's clunky and annoying more than anything (why do I have holster it to actually move with it equipped, goddamnit?). Doesn't feel super powerful either.

The chapter themselves are fine in 10 until
you get to that boss at the end. I think I beat it by luck. Fuck that guy.

I love Pokken!
As stupid that phrase is, it is probably the most memorable quote of the game.

Remember you said this once you hit chapter 10.
I can't even think of what encounter this is. If you're actually talking about
the Keeper, there's a trap in front of you at the start of the hall, then two directly to your left at the end, in front of the acid trap while the Keeper is also diagonally left from the entrance you start at, not right unless you're talking about after disabling the first trap and then moving into the hall facing the opposite end. I'm not even sure you have enough time to disable one closest to the acid trap panel, and the panel before getting hit by the Keeper who is directly behind you.
You can however skip having to fight entirely a different way.
That boss is super easy when you aren't playing on Akumu since you can just heal up his hits that don't one-shot you in the first place. And good luck sniper rifling (wobble, wobble, wobble) his head when he's leaping through the air from the bushes. The wolf has two different ways to gain ground. He will either leap up and out or simply charge at you. It's really not complicated on the lower difficulties. You can just shotgun it to death. On the lower difficulties where there are no
bear traps
Okay? I thought that's how most did it anyway. Outside of fully upgraded Harpoons, ammo was always a waste on that fight.
It's not just about getting the dirt off, it's about feeling clean.
I need help from the good fellow gafers over here, especially those who are finished it or are playing for too long this game.
The camera is driving my dizzy as funyuns, i already downed the sensitivity to 50 but still it confuses me as hell, is there any configuration to help this ? Also, what leven of grain image do you guys use? Thank you.

you need to put it on the lowest possible setting (PC)
Oh, duh. that I guess that would work, even though it's an extra couple steps. Probably quicker than going to the main menu like I had been doing :/
