Other than the ones in the main story, most "bosses" are just the various Psychopaths you encounter in the early phases of the game. Some are easy by default, and others are easy with planning. As you will read, the Small Chainsaws make my job really easy. Easy to play the game, and easy to give advise. It ain't cheating if the game includes it. *NOTE: You may note, the listings here are not updated like the ones in the real guide.*
Your first boss, and he can be tough. Run through the entrance into the table area. To the right as you enter, you should see three round tables. Go to the chair near the farthest one away from Carlito. If you are positioned right, he should be unable to hit you. Just aim with your weapon when he is behind a window. Chip away at his health by aiming at his head; it may seem like you are *NOTE: You may get the call about some reporter during this fight. Take it, but make sure you are behind cover.* At some point, Carlito will run to a catwalk. Follow him and try to get in a few free shots before he crosses. When he starts running try to hit him, but as he runs along the top of one sign, he may get into a kind of loop in which he runs on one top, then the other, and back for so long. Use this time to get in a few good hits. *NOTE: if you play and find him not going into a loop, please contact me and tell me if you did something different.* When he is "free," take cover by some barrels around a corner. You will find some wine (four health blocks). Run out and fire as you hear Carlito's gun firing at Brad. He will run around maybe forward, maybe backward. He may also begin tossing grenades at your direction, so run away from them. At this point, you may want to take cover in the sitting area and just try to outshoot the mystery man. *NOTE: it is very possible to repeat the scene from the window shootout. I mean that it is possible to make his shooting hit the back of a sign. All depends on where Carlito is shooting from. I believe he takes shelter by the Meaty's Burgers sign, so see what you can do.*
This is a sniper fight. You will see that the snipers in this game can only be either outsmarted or fought with melee weapons. Now here is what everyone needs to do: run up the stairs, run around the top floor, run along the opposite side of Carlito's side, and get into a position behind one of the pillars. This is where my followers will be rewarded. If you have the Small Chainsaws from Adam, and you should, take one out, run up to Carlito, and give him two good slashings. That will be it. Watch the scenes and be done with it. If you are just joining us, and lack the tiny chainsaws, you also have one really good option. With any gun (SMG), get into position behind the pillar on Carlito's side of the balcony; the one at the end of the "bridge." I can't tell you exactly where to position yourself, but if done right you can get into a spot where you can shoot him, while he doesn't touch you. If all else fails, just try to run up and slash him with knives. He will fight back and run away, usually tossing bombs behind him. So good luck. You can also hide in one of the nearby shops and shoot him through the windows.
*NOTE: press the "BACK" button on the controller to quickly pull up the map through this entire fiasco.* Here is how Carlito will inflict pain upon you: he will try to run you over when you are walking in the tunnels, and he will toss grenades at you when you are near the bomb trucks. Without vehicles, this fight would be impossible. Tips for vehicles: BOMB 1: BOMB 2: Here is your chance to kill Carlito with ease. He should arrive after you get this bomb. While he is stopped, go up and slash him with your chainsaws. He may back up, but just keep the pressure on. After two good hits it should be over. You get a cool extra scene. After the scene you are in another area of the tunnel. Behind you is a new car. Get in and follow me. BOMB 3: BOMB 4: BOMB 5: After you get the last one, you could stop and get the tunnel key on your way out as you pass the little room in the center of the map. Make your way back to the entrance, but you don't have to get out of your car, just run into the barrier to end the fight.
This is a boss fight when you are starting out, but not too bad if you are leveled up. The only way I have found in getting through these guys is to use the SMG found in Al Fresca. The best thing you could do is to get they stuck on a barrier, either a pole, a tree, or a wall. This should buy you enough time to get some shots off at the gunner. I would recommend staying by a wall and making them get stuck. The only other thing is to keep and eye out for zombies. Get the gunner first! Once you do, get them stuck again and then run up to the back of the vehicle. Take the gun from the hummer, and now they are dead in the water. This puppy is awesome, just pick off the other two. You can also ride their hummer once the music stops, but you got a job of helping your friends. Keep the heavy gun, and go save people. *NOTE: these guys will respawn each day at midnight, so prepare to fight them three more times, but it will only get easier.*
When you examine the ride the fight starts. Run to the walkway behind you to lead him into the open. He has a bunch of attacks, but he isn't too hard, especially if you got some health and a couple of extra blocks of health. Here are some of his attacks: Fire - not that big a deal, only hurts when you are close, use this time to get in some shots. Balloons - try to pop these before they get close to you, but you can't hit them when they are being blown up. If done right, you can get him to stagger and add some hits in. If done wrong and you get hit, you stagger. Twister - he spins around for a distance, so just run the other way. Jump attack - easy to avoid, but hurts. Daggers - he can throw 1-5 of these things, if you are moving they will never hit you. He will also do a thing where none of your bullets hit. If he is moving his chainsaws back and forth, you should stop shooting. There is no pre-set order he does these attacks in, and he may not do one or two. Popping balloons and using the SMG is a good way to damage him. The fire will give you time to get some distance and maybe get in some shots. Guns don't help when he is doing nothing, only when he is busy. Melee weapons do a lot of good here, but they tend to break with a few hits. When I brought a chainsaw, it did really good to kill him fast. When you run out of your first weapon, pull out another melee and go to town. Take breaks, that means to run away and heal. If you run out of everything, then you may need to hunt down other items. This fight ain't that bad, but it can be hard. *NOTE: if you got a Heavy Machine Gun, the use it. Even when they aren't going through directly, Adam will still take damage, and he won't move. If you are the patient type, wait for him to begin to throw daggers, and then unload on him for direct hits.* *UPDATE: just dodge him and wait for his balloons, shoot them, and then go hack him up with melee weapons. Rinse and repeat till you get a good rich lather.*
Time: anytime, before the third or so day. Found: Huntin' Shack, North Plaza (sort of tucked away) Too bad for that guy. When the battle starts, leave the shop, and kill the waiting undead. Make sure you are a bit away from the doors, or else he will shoot you. When all is clear, use any gun to aim at the big man's head from the safety of outside his range. A sniper rifle is good, but you won't have one in the early stages of the game. If you got the heavy gun from the convicts it will make this fight easy.
Pretty weird scene, huh? Start the fight by jumping on top of a shelf, then jump to another. Then just wait for him to run to the end of the aisle. Get in as many shots in a he will allow. You should get knocked to the ground, which is okay for now. He will then try to relocate, you should run out into the open and let loose on him. When he is about to take aim, jump behind a shelf for cover. Wait for him to get tired of waiting and starts to move his cart. This is your chance to jump out and finish him off. If that doesn't do it, just rinse and repeat until it is over. Use the plethora of health to heal any wounds. *NOTE: for those following the chainsaw route, as soon as the battle starts you need to jump up, and then hop down. He should remain aiming for a bit, but instead of trying to go hide, you need to run around the aisle and try to sneak up on him from behind. A few hacks from the saw does it.*
This guy is difficult, even with the darn chainsaws. All it takes is a few good hits from the chainsaws to finish this fight. The only problem is when he runs into the little holes. He pops out of one of the many trap doors in all corners of the store. He will usually jump to the top a nearby shelf and then toss both flares and grenades. The flares will not only obstruct your vision, but also stagger you when you get too close. Only distance and the top of a shelf will save you from the bombs. Guns would seem like the best choice, but you will only get seconds to get to the top of a shelf and fire. If may also seem wise to chase him down to hack him up, but this too meets little success. He uses strict guerilla tactics, in that he is always running from you. The best way I found to get him to come to you is to stay toward the shopping cart area at the front. You need to avoid this projectiles, and after a while he should eventually run to you. It is tough, but try to avoid his attack. He will then run into the nearby hole behind the carts, but this is your best time to get in a hit or two. I could never get in more than two when he runs, so just have some patience. His attacks are deadly, and if you run out of health use the cardboard boxes on the top of the shelves for health. This is actually one of the toughest battles only because he runs away from you. *UPDATE: consider luring him out by exiting the store and then coming back in. ADDavidredwinger says Cliff will charge you. This would bring him to you and allow you time to get in hits, rather than wait for him. Try it out.*
There are three, and I'm pretty sure they are all equal in threat. This battle plays as an extreme Carlito sniper fight. The tactic is the same, just used three times, but there are also three threats that will constantly be firing on you. Maybe the gun trick worked on Carlito, but that will not due here. You will have to be aggressive to bring all three of these God-fearing Americans down. If you have the Small Chainsaws the fight is basically a race to kill them before they break up. Even then, just focus on one and then tread toward the others. Rolling is recommended, but they may still hit you, and you might not have it. Rolling just makes things a wee bit easier. Even with just a few good melee weapons the concept is the same, but it will take a bit more frustration. One nice "glitch" is to get one or more of them to hide in the shoe store near their original location. If you wrangle them correctly you can keep them in the store and kill them at will. You will find it easy to keep them in, and even when they run out they might run back in. The best way is the tried and proven path of the Small Chainsaws. Then you will get easy sniper rifles.
Fat, yet she moves quite hastily. Do I even need to explain this one? Who reading this guide hasn't figured out that the Small Chainsaws are the way to go? They are all you need for almost any situation. A few swipes here and the behemoth is slain. Not too easy, as she will fight back, but still, you can easily out-slug her. Even if she gets in a few hits, I would recommend running, hitting, and then running away just a bit to repeat this pattern. To be honest, I have no alternate method. If you beat Adam before, just go pick up a chainsaw nearby (before you enter the store). Good luck if you end up without the holy weapons.
This fight was horrible the first time I went through it. There are two ways to breeze past this, but both require guns. With just a few handguns, all you need to do is take up a perch on one of two spots. The first is the nearby dumpster, just climb on top of it and nothing will hit you from the ground. The other is the very top catwalk, but watch out for the possible zombies. From either position, whip out your piece and take aim. You could try to pop her as she is moving, but just keep up with her. Take a shot when she stops and is about to pull out her gun. Repeat until you two kiss and make up. If you take to the top you may have to go down to the dumpster once she rides off into the distance. This will draw her back. A good way to know where she will stop, just see where she last stopped, and if you didn't move she will stop in the same spot. When she hits you though, she may switch sides. *UPDATE: get a shotgun, without aiming just use the autotarget (press X) to land a blow as the battle starts. You should be able to move a bit, she should miss, and you can repeat the procedure.*
Well, what do you think I recommend you use? It may still be a challenge with the chainsaws, but a few hits is all you need. The Heavy Machine Gun is also really good, but you need to time this fight and a battle with the prisoners. The hardest part about this battle is when its over, and a stream of the last cult members pour in. Sean drops his cool sword, and a book, but I don't know what this book does.
As soon as you start, whip out the Small Chainsaws and try your best to kill him in one fell swoop. Takes about four hits to end it. The worst thing that can happen is Paul leaving the store. He if fast, so catching up to him is almost impossible. He will also toss grenades behind him as he runs. Your best chance to hit him is when he turns around to run back. If you got a shotgun, this will make the running away part much easier. With a gun you won't have to follow him and take hits from his bombs. Not required, especially if you kill him quick, but it can help.
Really nothing special here. Even if there were conventionally means to take care of all the bosses, it would apply here too. Just give him a few slashes from the Small Chainsaws to end it quickly.
Must I embellish on this one. Come on, you know what to expect from lazy old me. Just out-slug this guy in combat, you should have the life for it. The Small Chainsaws are the way to go. There are some milk helpings lying about, and the shotguns will win this fight for you too, but not quickly enough. I'll explain Larry's attacks. He has a big knife so watch out. He can also toss more knives at you from a distance. He will often go to the hanging meat slabs in the middle and toss them at you too. How long you have to finish Larry before Carlito becomes ground meat is unknown to me. I know you have the tiny weapons by now, so why even bother to drag this on any longer.
This would be two seperate fights, but if you die, you start over. And Brock is inside the tank, so whatever. ---- You are Isabela for this fight. Let me say one thing that is constant for the entire fight, hold the X button. You have three points that you should focus your fire on. Do you see the two pairs of green lights on the front of the tank? They blink off and on, but you will know you are hitting these points when you see a fire blume come off the tank. These two spots are crucial to ending this fight early. The main point to strike is the dome-shaped scanner that comes out of the top of the tank. It will scan the area with a green laser, and eventually it turns red, which means you are about to be blasted. This is the most important spot to hit, as you avoid damage and you inflict damage. The tank has three attacks: blast you, send drones, or launch missiles. If you let the fight drag on, don't be surprised if you see all three come at you at one time. The shelling from the tank is the main attack, and is not too hard to avoid. Just focus fire on the laser sight until is goes away. The drones, as before, only need one round to blow up. The missiles also only need one bullet, The fewer laps you take around the course, the better. That is why hitting the green lights in the front is so crucial. The fight should be over after just three laps. Also, you can take a bunch of hits, so don't worry about dying too much. After the tank fight, a scene, and then the last fight. This is the hardest fight in the game. If you are at level 40 or so, you should have all you need to win (my guide should have got you to level 40 easy). ---- This boss is so tough, just because you can not tip the scales in your favor in any way. You lack your awesome weapons and items. You must use your bare fists on him, and he is way more deadly than you. The Double Lariat move is your best attack. Click the left stick and then press X, and then point yourself into the direction of the boss. Brock will most likely block all of your offensive, but some of it may sink in. When you are on the bottom portion of the tank, and Brock is above you, do a Jump Kick. In this same jump, try to perform a Roundhouse Kick. If the move works, you will Jump When he is in the taunting stance, be ready for a charge attack that can be avoided by simply moving away, or you could go get some hits on him. As far as the rest of his attacks, they are pretty random. Don't be fooled though, you should get banged up a lot. Use the Zombie Ride to get back to the tank (jumping is best). His combos are good, and he even has the cheap ability to kick you while you're down. He may also get in the worst move ever. He may go around you, hold you by the neck, and then take your health. You get one counter to this move, just move the Left Stick back and forth, just like when zombies grab you. If all else fails, just keep on using the Double Lariat until you win. *NOTE: if you are on the verge of leveling up, just go kill a few of the last undead around the tank. They give 500 PP a kill.* Let me just say Willamette, Colorado is the most looney town in America.
