| ...Beowulf (mission 11) | |
|
Think Cerberus, but without the chains. This behemoth comes at you head on, punching, kicking, and mauling you into submission. Though masters of the Royal Guard style can effortlessly block these powerful hits, everyone else must rely on staying mobile to avoid damage. But don't just run around idly. Whenever you're not close enough to hit Beowulf directly, shoot at him with your guns. Beowulf is most vulnerable when you jump into the air and strike at his single, glowing, red eye (the other was destroyed by Sparda, and he's still rather bitter at you for it). He doubles over in blinding pain, giving you a window of opportunity to Devil Trigger and hack away at him while he's helpless. Eventually Beowulf will run towards the back and start hurling whole towers at you. Keep shooting while you dodge them or, if you're feeling particularly brave, rush in to attack him directly while he's concentrating on his projectiles. Soon Beowulf will go wild and begin galloping across the room on all fours, mauling you on the ground or in the air whenever he can. Counter attack him as he recovers from his lunges, keep shooting, and stay out of his way. He is very fast for his size, so don't let your guard down. |
Three Hit Combo: Beowulf's standard attack - left hook, right hook, and SMASH!! Later on in the fight this combo takes on more devastating proportions as Beowulf unleashes his signature Volcano attack in the last hit. Either block his swings with Royal Guard or get out of his way. Radial Explosion: Beowulf stops and stares disoriented into space before bellowing "I will kill you!" and blasting everything in a few feet radius with a damaging flash of light. Stay out of the blast's range and charge in to attack him while he recovers. Tower Projectiles: Beowulf runs to the back of the room and stomps the ground, dropping chunks of tower to the floor and flinging them towards you. Roll, jump, or dash out of the way, and collect the red orbs they drop upon shattering. Feather
Projectiles: Beowulf's most dangerous attack, I still for the life
of me can't dodge it completely. He stands in place and spreads his
wings, which shoot out multiple feathers of light that come at you like
homing missiles. These feathers have impeccable aim and deal a great
amount of damage.
