SH3 - final boss on hard mode.

Post by crucifix »

yeah. does anyone have any tips? submachine gun + beam saber don't work too well for me. i have enough health items and i can dodge the fire well, but not forever obviously. i'd just like to know what weapons are most effective.

I've never fought the boss on hard, but I assume everything is relatively the same, except you just have to watch yourself more carefully, and get comfortable. Have you tried hanging out near the back of the room, out of arms' length, and shooting with your Unlimited Submachine Gun? The USMG and Pistol are the only weapons that can move vertically while still keeping you out of range.

Aside from that, and keeping your vest on (assuming you can evade the fire with it on), not much else comes to mind.

alright; i finally beat it, mainly due to a few ampoules to keep heather's speed up and careful strafing in the back. thanks though.

the only weapons necessary are the handgun and katana. everything else is quick maneuvering. ampoules help near the end.

Dodging the flames on the last boss is all about keeping Heather's stamina up so she can run immediately from standing still.

this is what i did, i read this strategy somewhere. it worked perfectly. first of all you should change the walk/run controls to reverse so you don't have to hold a button down to run. if you have bullet adjust, turn it up as high as you have.

start off by shooting the god with the handgun three times until it comes down. then attack it with two or three hits from the katana and quickly turn, get back outside the semicircle. this will prevent the god from creating fire until its health is low. do this about five times, which is when the fire becomes very fast. run to the back of the room. shoot the god thrice (handgun still) to make it go down, shoot it twice in the head and right after the second shot, strafe to the other side of the room. avoid the second line of flames with another strafe. if it's timed right you shouldn't take any damage at all. repeat the two shots & strafe until it's dead. end of game.

I did the motherfucker with Katana and as far as I remember unlimited submachine gun was the prize I got for it! :D

The secret is he sends fire in certain patterns, so the main point is your figuring it out. Then run to his head, hit it once and run away. Do so several times - and you're gonna make it.

Good luck!

kay, i just beat the god on extreme 1 with only a handgun. the best strategy i've found is to stay at the very back of the room, strafing away from the fire. continually shoot the god until she comes down, shoot her in the face twice, which will trigger the fire to come at you. strafe away, etc etc. bullet adjust is a must, along with an ampoule or two to keep your speed when the fire becomes very fast. i spent about 300+ bullets on her as well, and it took around 6 minutes.

Why not just shoot her down then smack her in the head with a pipe or maze?

It would help, save bullets.

because i was low on health items, and wanted to avoid injury (being hit by the god). the fire is much easier to dodge than the god herself. also, i had mainly been using the unlimited submachine gun/beam saber throughout the game, thus had a fuckload of bullets to spare.

Eep. I'm only partway through Hard mode. I used the shotgun on Easy mode, but I don't know if it'd work on Hard.

shotgun is too slow for the whole battle. handgun is weaker, but it's fast and can be used while strafing.

I can play the game through until the ending... then die. And die. And die. And die. that stupid god will not die. So I handed the game to my sister who has never played an entire sh game all the way through and she killed it in seconds.

So we have a deal, on each extrame hard mode I play up until the god fight scene then she kills that punk.


It works.She can some how use the light saber and kill it before it burns her to a crisp. I use the guns until I have no bullets and no health goodies, then am baked to a nice golded brown.

lol i hate the god. usually, i like to play silent hill straight, beginning to end, but when i got to the last boss just saved the game, and played in once or twice a day, then turned it off.
the trick is to hold off your ADD, and even thought shes not dying, your not doing something wrong. get a soda, drink some tea maybe, and do the same shit over and over for like a half an hour.
fucking silent hill 3
when i say "they should add something new", i dont mean "they should add something new thats retarded". thats different.
