Game: Gears of War (XBOX 360) Rated M for Mature. Boss Guide Version 1.0 By Zack This guide is not to be hosted on any site other than cheathappens.com ------------------------------------------------------ I would like to start off by saying that once you know the strategy to defeating each boss, they are all exceptionally easy, even on insane difficulty. That is what this guide is for. Every boss has a weakspot. ***NOTE*** I have added in the cog tags near all the bosses. Also i'd like to add that the double boomers aren't bosses, they are known to be difficult though. Table of Contents: 1. First Berserker -Act 1- 2. Double Boomers -Act 2- 3. Corpser -Act 3- 4. Second Berserker -Act 4- 5. Third Berserker -Act 5- 6. General Raam -Act 5- 7. End --------------------------------------- 1. BERSERKER #1 ACT 1(ASHES) CHAPTER 8(CHINA SHOP) --At the start of the chapter take a right and turn the corner, in the fire there is a cog tag. When you encounter this berserker, she will immediately charge at you. Take a right into the door and shoot her a bit with your lancer. Pull her towards you as you make your way to the first destructable door at the back of the first room. Get very close to the wall, shoot her and she will rush strait at you. At the last second possible without getting crushed, jump out of the way. She will smash the door open, now is your chance to run into the next room. There is another door, repeat. At the third door, turn to the left...there is a cog tag. Once outside, destroy the berserker with 2 blasts from the hammer of dawn. Before you kill him though, in the top rightish area of the boss battle outside there is a hidden cog tag. --------------------------------------------- 2. DOUBLE BOOMERS ACT 2(NIGHTFALL) CHAPTER 1(TICK TICK BOOM) --At the end of this chapter, two boomers will appear. This is your first time confronting the boomers and you only have to do 2 things: A. Toss all your grenades at them. This works if you are above or below. B. Take cover to avoid any boomshot's coming your way. After that blast them to death with the lancer and they are done for. Easier said than done...especially on insane. This one may take you a try or two seeing as how if your team mate dies in co-op, then you have to restart. ------------------------------------------------ 3. CORPSER ACT 3(BELLY OF THE BEAST) CHAPTER 5(ANGRY TITAN) --The corpser can be taken down so quickly with this strategy, that you won't even have to worry about the explosive wretches he will spawn to kill you. This can be done with the lancer or pistol(boltok and normal.) A. Take the pistol/lancer, and when the corpser opens his legs shoot at his stomach, when he raises his head shoot him in the head. He will scream and take a few steps back. Quickly repeat this until he goes on another platform with 2 latches infront of him. B. Quickly shoot the latches and he will fall through and you have defeated him. ***If you are not quick enough and wretches spawn, get out the pistol and whip them, then dive to the side before they explode in your face. Continue killing the corpser. ------------------------------------- 4. BERSERKER #2 ACT 4(THE LONG ROAD HOME) CHAPTER 2(BAD TO WORSE) --When you first encounter this berserker you will have to have him follow you into a room in the building to where Anya will turn the hammer of dawn on. From there your mission is clear, blast the berserker twice with the hammer of dawn killing him. Then you have limited time to get out, you will see at the north of the room a wheel. TUrn it and it will turn on the sprinklers ceasing the fire blocking your path. Make your way outside and you have defeated Berserker #2. -------------------------------------- 5. BERSERKER #3 ACT 5(DESPERATION) CHAPTER 2(TRAIN WRECK) --When you are about to enter the train, a berserker will apear. You must defeat this berserker quickly as you have a time limit. Lead him towards the back of the train, you will see a button where the two carts on the train are seperating. Lead the berserker on the cart inback of it and press the button, she will go flying off the edge and die. Now Jack has ripped the door open, you must go inside, right when you walk in turn to the left and there is a cog tag. --------------------------------------------- 6. GENERAL RAAM ACT 5(DESPERATION) CHAPTER 3(PALE HORSE) --This is it. The final fight of the game...and by far the hardest. General Raam is the black robed figure who killed your Lt, Kim with his sword on act 1 chapter 7. There are many strategies to taking down general raam, most of them lack a 80+% success rate though. All you need to do is right before the fight stock up on frag grenades(4) Sniper ammo(24) and as much torque bow ammo you can find. When you start, Marcus and Dom will take cover on the first block of cover. DO NOT LEAVE THIS BLOCK. Whenever Raam dismisses the kryll which are basically his sheild, unload as many sniper clips to his head as you can. You will notice locust that fly by on the sides during the fight that will occasionaly shoot at you, when Raam puts his sheild up take the time to use the torque bow agaisnt them, one shot will do it for both. Once Raam makes his way up towards you, throw 2 grenades down, when he dissmisses his kryll, continue to stay in the light but stick him with a frag grenade. Jump back and if you are on casual or hardcore, he should be dead by now. If you're playing insane, stick him one more time and he should die. The trick is you do not have to go around to tag him, you can stay behind cover. You must still roll back though. Also do not try to get to the troika turret behind the train as the kryll will most likely eat you, if not general raam's gun will tear you apart. Also, if you try to kill Raam with the turret on hardcore and suceed, you will not get the achievement as it is glitched unless you have Xbox Live and have downloaded the most recent patch. ------------------------------------ 7.
