Yelena boss battle

is a pain in the ass. I've read a guide and tried over and over again but no luck. Hoping to get a trainer because I'm outright stuck

[ductape]

does specializing in stealth type play make boss fights suck?

[warhammer651]

not really. I got into a grand total of 1 (one) firefight and focused all my augs on stealth and the first guy was just as challenging as my gun-ho route during the beta-leak

[hemmingjay]

there is a trick to the first guy, utilizing a prop in the room. Don't want to spoil it for anyone.

First boss is easy street, it's the second one that is a PITA

The first boss

has a minigun arm, is immune to takedowns, throws half a dozen or more grenades at a time in a wide arc, survives being shot by three rockets in a row, and can't be taken out by being shot in the head once like every other NPC.

You call that easy street?

He'd be easy street if the protagonist was Michael Thorton, since he would just step out from behind a pillar, freeze time, shoot five pistol shots into his head, run straight through the hail of minigun fire (taking no health damage), kick him in the face, and then beat him to a pulp with his fists.

(Overall, Thorton would kick Jensen's ass simply because of he can freeze time and line up 5+ pistol shots at any number of targets in his line of sight while time is frozen, and take the shots in a fraction of a second once time is unfrozen regardless of how far apart they are. Jensen walks into the room and suddenly has 5 bullets in his head. With damage working the way it does for him, he'd be dead. There's no way around that, and the way Jensen's Idiot Ball takes over whenever he meets a high-level enemy, there's no way he'd avoid ambush by such a high-level enemy as Thorton, either.)

[hemmingjay]

have you ever shot a fire extinguisher near an enemy in this game?

[Shadowlord]

I tried that once, but the gas didn't seem to bother the guy. He wasn't right next to it, though, he was on the other side of an open doorway.

If you mean Barret, I never got to see any of that because I just shot him with the Stun Gun until he fell over. My 'fight' was more like watching a prolonged dance number. Cheapest. Weapon. Ever.

It's developed sentience and rather likes that website?

'Open in new tab' in chrome must be including the referrer for some bizarre reason, thus triggering their hotlinking prevention. When I copy the URL and paste it into a new tab myself, I get the image, and then it displays in your post as well since it has loaded. Until then it would not display because of their hotlinking prevention.

You can see it because you had already seen it.
