El Gigante battle guide hints and tips for Resident Evil 4

El Gigante battle guide

Okay, so El Gigante (EG) is a big monster, but it's actually easy to take out, on your 1st encounter, the EG will be pretty weak, but I'll give you the best form of attack...

1st EG fight

Make sure you helped the dog caught in the bear trap earlier in the game, cause this is were he comes into play, to begin with spray the EG with your TMP, and the back burster will protrude after a few clips (depending on the power of you TMP) of course, your 1st thought would be to equip your shotgun or sniper rifle and blast away, but theres an easier and more effective way of doing it, run infront of the EG and hit X when promted to, Leon will climb onto it's back and slash the Back burster repeatedly, the faster you tap X, the more damge you'll do, after the 1st time you coax out the back burster, the dog will arrive, drawing the EG's attention to it, making it completely oblivious to your actions, you can do 1 of 2 things during this period, either collect all the items around you or, get close up and shoot the EG with your shotgun, after awhile the dog will stand to one side and leave the fight to you, the EG will now throw rocks at you and swing trees, these are easy to dodge, repeat the 1st step and blast him with the TMP then attack the back burster with the knife, after about 3 cycles, he should die, also the dog will draw the EG's attention to him again if your getting your ass kicked so, happy trails!
