Chapter 2-2 Part 4
Resident Evil 5 HD Walkthrough S-Rank Chapter 2-2: No Damage
From here, you're going to have to deal with the final groupings of hostile Majini in the area, all the while continuing along the rockface towards what will ultimately result in a boss battle. This is easier said than done (as is just about everything in the game), but you shouldn't encounter anything you won't be able to survive. Enemies will come in waves depending on where you are at any given time. Try not to combine waves, which is easy enough to do as long as you're not rushing forward without killing the enemies that have already come out to harm you. If you continue forward without killing foes, you'll become inundated with enemies, which can make the going tough for you, your health and your ammo count.
There are a few things to make mention of that are important. The first is to keep a close eye on the rockface as you move past it. Near two ladders leading upward, you can see two glints. Shoot them and then retrieve them when they fall, to first find a Diamond (Pear), and subsequently a Diamond (Square). Also, when you arrive at the large debris-filled dumpster blocking your path, simply push it off of the ledge to continue. And of course, with all of the enemies you're slaying, you should easily be able to find myriad goods dropped by deceased foes. Don't neglect grabbing those items, along with the stray items found in boxes and barrels, as you proceed.
Are you ready for a boss battle? Excellent; so are we. This boss will confound you unless you use some obvious tools given to you to deal with the threat head on. If you for some reason already have Proximity Mines in your inventory, then bring them with you to this fight, although if this is your first time through the game, chances are you don't have any yet. You'll also want to bring your most powerful gun attack power-wise... most likely your Ithaca shotgun. The mines are vital to this fight, but fear not, for you can find them strewn around the circular area where this boss battle begins.
The premise of this battle is easy enough to comprehend. You must avoid the bug-like, winged enemy trying to kill you while carefully placing a Proximity Mine in its path. Preferably, you should get as far away from the foe as possible, plant the mine as center in the path as humanly possible, and then draw it towards you, staying out of the blast radius of the mine. When the enemy roves over it, he'll be temporarily stunned and fall on his side. Take this opportunity to quickly toggle to your power weapon and hit the foe in its suddenly-exposed abdomen. Get off as many shots as you can before the beast gets back to its feet. Then, simply repeat the process.
There are a couple of things worth mentioning before we close out the walkthrough for this chapter, both in regard to the boss. The first thing you want to keep in mind is that the enemy can attack back, primarily by way of flying towards you and/or using its powerful claws to swipe at you. When this happens, follow the on-screen prompts to quickly get out of dodge, or face the punishing consequences. Secondly, if you stand behind the foe for too long, he'll shoot out a stringy and sticky substance that will keep you in place, so again follow the on-screen prompt to free yourself (or your partner) before the killing blow is laid. Oh, and you'll want to grab all of the items in the circular area in which this fight takes place, because there's a lot to be found!
